Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sewing machines. More specifically, the present invention relates to an adjusting device and an adjusting method for a sewing machine. Background Art

[0002] A sewing machine is a machine that uses one or more sewing threads to form one or more stitches on a fabric, so as to interweave or sew together one or more layers of sewing materials. A sewing machine usually consists of a feeding device, a base, a transmission, and accessories. Through the reasonable cooperation of the movements of each mechanism, it works cyclically to sew the sewing materials together. When sewing fabrics of different thicknesses, it is necessary to adjust the presser foot pressure to ensure the smoothness of feeding and the uniformity of stitch density.

[0003] However, existing sewing machines usually need to stop the machine and then adjust the height and pressure of the presser foot according to the fabric thickness, and cannot automatically adjust the pressure according to the fabric thickness during use. Moreover, when sewing fabrics with a relatively large thickness, only adjusting the presser foot pressure will result in insufficient pressure, and the smoothness of sewing and the uniformity of stitch density cannot be guaranteed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, embodiments of the present invention provide an adjusting device and an adjusting method for a sewing machine, and adjust the feeding pressure by setting a pressure adjusting mechanism and an adjusting box, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background art.

[0016] An adjustment method for a sewing machine adjustment device includes the following steps:

[0017] S1. Place the fabric to be sewn above the feed dog of the sewing machine.

[0018] S2. Start the second motor to adjust the initial pressure.

[0019] S3. Start the first motor to sew.

[0020] S4. When the fabric changes from thin to thick, the presser foot rotates, the presser bar slides upward, and the second elastic member and the first elastic member are compressed, increasing the pressure.

[0024] 1. In the present invention, the second motor drives the rotation of the threaded sleeve, causing the first pressure ring to descend or rise as the threaded sleeve rotates. The movement of the first pressure ring changes the force on the second pressure ring, enabling the adjustment of the initial pressure for fabrics of different materials at the same height.

[0025] 2. In the present invention, through the pressure adjustment mechanism, during the working process, the sewing machine automatically increases the pressure of the presser foot on the fabric by changing the height of the presser bar according to the change in the fabric thickness through the presser foot, preventing the problem of stopping the machine to adjust the pressure due to the increase in fabric thickness.

[0026] 3. When sewing thick fabrics in the present invention, while increasing the pressure on the fabric by raising the height of the presser bar, the height of the feed dog is raised by the top plate to increase the depth of fabric feeding to ensure the smoothness of fabric feeding.

[0027] 4. When the resistance on the feed dog is too large due to excessive pressure on the fabric and the feed dog cannot feed the fabric in the present invention, the slider touches the switch, the second motor rotates in the reverse direction, and the first pressure ring rises, reducing the pressure, preventing the problems of the feed dog being unable to feed the fabric or even tearing the fabric and damaging the machine due to excessive pressure on the fabric.

The front end of the fixing member 45 penetrates through the limiting groove 421 and is fixedly connected to a feed dog 46. The bottom of the fixing member 45 is in contact with the top block 443.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 11 As shown, a lifting tooth shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the frame 1. One end of the lifting tooth shaft 15 is slidably connected to a lower shaft crank 16; Combining Figure 6As shown, one end of the lifting tooth shaft 15 away from the lower shaft crank 16 is slidably connected to the tooth carrier 41. One end of the lower shaft crank 16 is rotatably connected to a lifting tooth connecting rod 151.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 11 As shown, a feed shaft 17 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the frame 1; in combination with Figure 6 and Figure 12 As shown, one end of the feed shaft 17 is rotatably connected to one end of the tooth carrier 41 away from the lifting tooth shaft 15. One end of the feed shaft 17 away from the tooth carrier 41 is rotatably connected to a feed connecting rod 171. The feed connecting rod 171 is slidably connected to the upper shaft 13.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 11 As shown, the thread hooking mechanism 6 includes a lower shaft 61. One end of the lower shaft 61 close to the tooth carrier 41 is provided with a bobbin case support 62. The bobbin case support 62 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. A bobbin case 621 is embedded in the bobbin case support 62. One end of the lower shaft 61 away from the bobbin case support 62 is slidably connected to the lower shaft crank 16. A bobbin 622 is rotatably connected inside the bobbin case 621.

[0053] During use, place the fabric to be sewn under the presser foot 291. Lock the presser bar 21 through the second pressure ring 24. When the second motor 26 is started, the threaded sleeve 22 rotates, thereby driving the first pressure ring 23 to move on the threaded sleeve. By the movement of the first pressure ring 23, the compression amount of the first elastic member 25 is changed, thereby changing the pressure received by the second pressure ring 24, so that the pressure received by the presser bar 21 is changed. Apply pressure to the fabric through the presser foot 291 below the presser bar 21. Adjust the initial pressure according to the material and thickness of the fabric to increase applicability and improve work efficiency.

[0054] During the working process, turn on the first motor 14 to drive the upper shaft 13 to rotate, so that the upper shaft 13 drives the first connecting rod 53 to rotate. Drive the needle bar 51 to reciprocate up and down through the first connecting rod 53. While the upper shaft 13 rotates, the lifting tooth connecting rod 151 drives the lower shaft crank 16 to reciprocate, so that the lower shaft 61 drives the bobbin case 621 to rotate inside the bobbin case support 62. While the upper shaft 13 rotates, it drives the feed connecting rod 171 to reciprocate around the upper shaft 13. Drive the feed shaft 17 to rotate through the movement of the feed connecting rod 171. Drive the tooth carrier 41 to reciprocate through the rotation of the feed shaft 17. The reciprocating rotation of the lower shaft crank 16 causes the lifting tooth shaft 15 to reciprocate while following the reciprocating sliding of the lower shaft crank 16, and drive the tooth carrier 41 to reciprocate on the lifting tooth shaft 15 through the reciprocating movement of the lifting tooth shaft 15. Through the cooperation between the lifting tooth shaft 15 and the feed shaft 17, the feed dog 46 moves in a cycle.

[0055] When the sewing fabric becomes thicker, the presser foot 291 drives the presser bar 21 to lift upward according to the fabric thickness. As the presser bar 21 moves upward, the second pressing ring 24 and the adjusting ring 32 move along with the presser bar 21, compressing the first elastic member 25 and the second elastic member 33, increasing the pressure on the presser foot 291 and simultaneously increasing the pressure on the fabric. When the fabric thickness changes from thick to thin, the presser foot 291 drives the presser bar 21 to move downward, causing the first elastic member 25 and the second elastic member 33 to expand, reducing the pressure on the fabric. By lifting and lowering the presser foot 291 according to the fabric thickness while changing the pressure on the fabric, the sewing machine automatically adjusts the pressure according to the fabric thickness during operation, eliminating the need to stop the machine to adjust the pressure, improving work efficiency and sewing smoothness, and ensuring sewing quality.

[0056] Embodiment 2

[0057] In actual use, it is found that when sewing relatively thick fabrics, only adjusting the pressure of the presser foot will result in insufficient pressure, causing uneven feeding and affecting the uniformity of stitch density. Based on the above embodiment, further improvements are made.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, two air storage tanks 44 are provided inside the adjustment box 42. Inside each air storage tank 44, a pressure block 441 that moves according to the air pressure inside the air storage tank 44 is provided. One end of each pressure block 441 is rotatably connected to a support plate 442. The two support plates 442 are commonly connected to a top block 443 at the ends away from the pressure block 441. The two support plates 442 are respectively rotatably connected to the adjustment box 42. Combining Figure 8 and Figure 7 As shown, each air storage tank 44 is provided with an air inlet hole. Combining Figure 5 As shown, the outer wall of the air cylinder 31 is provided with a first exhaust hole 34 and a second exhaust hole 35. The two air inlet holes are connected to the second exhaust hole 35 through a three-way hose.

[0059] Based on the above embodiments, during use, when the thickness of the fabric increases slightly, the pressure rod 21 moves upward to drive the adjusting ring 32 to rise, causing the gas inside the air cylinder 31 to be squeezed and discharged through the first exhaust hole 34. At the same time, the second elastic member 33 is compressed and the pressure on the fabric increases. When the thickness of the fabric increases significantly, the presser foot 291 drives the pressure rod 21 to rise. By the upward movement of the pressure rod 21, the adjusting ring 32 is driven to rise. When the adjusting ring 32, at the same time, the gas inside the air cylinder 31 is squeezed. When the height of the adjusting ring 32 rises above the first exhaust hole 34, the squeezed gas enters the inside of the air storage tank 44 through the second exhaust hole 35 and the three-way hose. By increasing the air pressure inside the air storage tank 44, the pressing block 441 slides downward inside the air storage tank 44, and at the same time drives the support plate 442 to rotate on the side wall of the adjusting box 42, causing the top block 443 to rise. By the upward movement of the top block 443, the fixing member 45 and the feed dog 46 are driven to slide upward inside the limit groove 421, thereby raising the feed dog 46 to increase the fabric feeding depth. By adjusting the pressure of the presser foot 291 and the fabric feeding depth of the feed dog 46 simultaneously, the smoothness of fabric feeding and the uniformity of sewing stitch pitch are ensured.

[0060] Embodiment 3

[0061] It is found during actual use that when the pressure on the fabric is too large, it will cause the feed dog 46 to be unable to feed the fabric or even tear the fabric. Further improvements are made based on the above embodiments.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, a guide groove 11 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. A switch is provided on the top side wall of the guide groove 11. A slider 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 11. A spring is provided in the inner cavity of the guide groove 11. The two ends of the spring are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the slider 12 and the inner bottom surface of the guide groove 11. Combining Figure 6 As shown, a top rod 521 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed ring 52. The top rod 521 corresponds to the guide groove 11. The switch is a prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0063] When the sewing machine is working normally, the upper shaft 13 is driven to rotate by the first motor 14, so that the first connecting rod 53 drives the fixed ring 52 and its ejector rod 521 to move up and down reciprocally. When the ejector rod 521 moves downward, the ejector rod 521 inserts into the inside of the guide groove 11 to press down the slider 12. At this time, the spring is compressed. When the ejector rod 521 moves upward, the slider 12 gradually rises as the spring expands. Before the slider 12 touches the switch, the ejector rod 521 moves downward again to press the slider 12. When the pressure on the fabric is too large, at this time, the frictional force on the feed dog 46 is relatively large, resulting in the slow reciprocating movement of the feed dog 46 or even the inability of the feed dog 46 to move due to excessive frictional force. At this time, the downward movement of the ejector rod 521 is delayed or even stagnant. At this time, the slider 12 slides inside the guide groove 11 through the expansion of the spring. When the slider 12 slides to the height of the switch and touches the switch, the second motor 26 is started. The second motor 26 rotates in reverse to drive the threaded sleeve 22 to rotate, so that the first pressing ring 23 rises. As the first pressing ring 23 rises, the first elastic member 25 gradually expands, and the pressure on the pressure rod 21 decreases, so that the pressure on the fabric decreases. When the fabric can pass through smoothly, the ejector rod 521 presses the slider 12 again, and the slider 12 no longer contacts the switch, and the second motor 26 is turned off to prevent the problem that the feed dog 46 cannot feed the fabric or even tear the fabric and damage the machine when the pressure on the fabric is too large.

[0064] Embodiment 4

[0065] On the basis of the above embodiments, this embodiment also provides an adjustment method for an adjustment device of a sewing machine, including the following specific steps:

[0066] S1. Place the fabric to be sewn above the feed dog 46 of the sewing machine;

[0067] S2. Start the second motor 26 to adjust the initial pressure;

[0068] S3. Start the first motor 14 to sew;

[0069] S4. When the fabric changes from thin to thick, the presser foot 291 rotates, the pressure rod 21 slides upward, and the second elastic member 33 and the first elastic member 25 are compressed and the pressure increases;

[0070] S5. When the fabric is relatively thick, the upward movement of the pressure rod 21 increases the pressure, causing the feed dog 46 to rise to increase the pressure and the fabric feeding depth;

[0071] S6. When the resistance on the feed dog 46 is too large due to excessive pressure on the fabric and the feed dog 46 cannot feed the fabric, the slider 12 touches the switch, and the second motor 26 rotates in the reverse direction, and the first pressing ring 23 rises and the pressure decreases.

[0072] The above are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, making equivalent substitutions or changes should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
