DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to further understand the content of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit it.

[0032] The following is combined with Figure 1-Figure 9 This embodiment is described in further detail.

[0033] like Figure 2As shown, a cloth feeding mechanism of a sewing machine in this embodiment includes a needle plate 10 and an operating cover 20 slidably arranged on one side of the needle plate 10, and also includes a cloth feeding tooth 210 arranged at the lower side of the needle plate 10, the cloth feeding tooth 210 is arranged on the first driving component, and the first driving component is used to drive the cloth feeding tooth 210 to perform cloth feeding operation; the first driving component is arranged on the lifting component 220, and the lifting component 220 is used to adjust the height of the cloth feeding tooth 210 extending through the needle plate 10;

[0034] A second driving assembly 230 for driving the lifting assembly 220 is provided at the bottom of the operating cover 20. The second driving assembly 230 is retractable. When the operating cover 20 slides open, it is used to drive the second driving assembly 230 to extend to the top of the needle plate 10. A control unit is also provided on the second driving assembly 230. When the operating cover 20 slides open, it is used to drive the control unit to control the first driving assembly to drive the feed dog 210 to be in a state of extending through the needle plate 10.

[0035] In actual use, the sewing machine cloth feeding mechanism is installed in the sewing machine, wherein the cloth feeding mechanism is combined with the sewing machine. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the needle plate 10 is detachably mounted on the upper side of the machine base 30, and the operating cover 20 is slidably mounted on the upper side of the machine base 30 at one side of the needle plate 10. The operating cover 20 slides away from the needle plate 10 so that the upper side of the machine base 30 forms an operating port connected to the inside of the sewing machine, thereby facilitating the inspection and maintenance of the cloth feeding mechanism installed in the sewing machine through the operating port;

[0036] The needle plate 10 is provided with a slot for the feed dog 210 to extend out. When it is actually used, the first driving assembly is used to drive the feed dog 210 to make an elliptical motion so that the extended end of the feed dog 210 can transport the fabric backwards.

[0037] Among them, by setting the lifting assembly 220, it is possible to adjust the height of the first driving assembly, and then adjust the distance that the feed dog 210 extends out of the slot to cooperate with the presser foot set on the sewing machine head 31, so that the feed mechanism can transport fabrics of different thicknesses;

[0038] Among them, through the setting of the second driving assembly 230, when the operating cover 20 slides away from the needle plate 10 in actual use, the second driving assembly 230 can automatically extend the operating port to the upper part of the needle plate 10, thereby preferably facilitating the operator to drive the lifting assembly 220 to work through the second driving assembly 230 to adjust the distance that the feed dog 210 extends out of the slot;

[0039] In the present embodiment, since the first driving assembly drives the feed dog 210 to make an elliptical remote movement, the position of the feed dog 210 is not fixed when it stops, that is, the feed dog 210 is located inside the sewing machine when it stops. Therefore, it is difficult for the operator to observe the distance for adjusting the height of the feed dog 210 by driving the second driving assembly 230, thereby affecting the adjustment effect of the second driving assembly 230. In the present embodiment, through the setting of the control unit, when it is actually used, when the operating cover 20 slides away from the needle plate 10, the control unit can drive the first driving assembly to drive the feed dog 210 to be in a state of extending to the highest point through the slot hole, that is, it is convenient for the operator to observe the height adjustment of the feed dog 210 on the upper side of the machine base 30 when adjusting through the second driving assembly 230.

[0040] Combination Figure 2-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first driving component includes a mounting seat 310, a telescopic lifting rod 410 extending from the upper end is provided in the mounting seat 310, a mounting plate 320 is provided at the extending end of the lifting rod 410, a groove 401 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 320 along its length direction, a moving block 420 is slidably provided in the groove 401, the feed dog 210 is installed on the moving block 420 through a mounting member, and a driving member for driving the moving block 420 to perform an elliptical motion is provided on the mounting seat 310.

[0041] In actual use of this embodiment, the mounting plate 320 is arranged along the length direction of the feed dog 210, and the feed dog 210 is slidably mounted on the upper side wall of the mounting plate 320;

[0042] The mounting member includes a mounting portion 431 disposed on the lower side wall of the feed dog 210, the mounting portion 431 extends to the moving block 420, and is mounted on the moving block 420 by a countersunk bolt;

[0043] The groove 401 has sliding grooves on its opposite side walls along its length direction, and the moving block 420 has sliding blocks extending into the corresponding sliding grooves on its side walls, thereby realizing the sliding installation of the moving block 420 in the groove 401, wherein, in conjunction with the telescopic setting of the lifting rod 410 in the mounting seat 310, the driving member can drive the moving block 420 to make an elliptical motion, even if the feed dog 210 makes an elliptical motion, thereby conveying the cloth;

[0044] Combination Figure 6 As shown, a cavity 601 is provided in the mounting seat 310 for the lifting rod 410 to extend into, wherein the side wall of the lifting rod 410 is slidably fitted with the side wall of the cavity 601 , thereby achieving the lifting installation of the lifting rod 410 in the mounting seat 310 .

[0045] Combination Figure 2-5As shown, in this embodiment, the side wall of the groove 401 is provided with a horizontal groove 321 along its length direction, and the moving block 420 is provided with a vertical groove 501 along the width direction of the mounting plate 320; the driving member includes a first support plate 311 arranged on the mounting seat 310, a motor 330 is provided on the first support plate 311, a swing rod 331 is provided on the output shaft of the motor 330, a first sliding column 510 penetrating the horizontal groove 321 is provided on the swing rod 331, and a second sliding column 521 penetrating the vertical groove 501 is provided on the first sliding column 510 through the connecting plate 520.

[0046] In this embodiment, the swing rod 331 is arranged in parallel with the connecting plate 520, so that the two are on the same axis. Through the above-mentioned structure, in actual use, the motor 330 drives the swing rod 331 to rotate, so that the first sliding column 510 slides in the horizontal groove 321, and the mounting plate 320 is reciprocated. At the same time, the connecting plate 520 is driven to rotate, so that the second sliding column 521 slides along the vertical groove 501, and the moving block 420 reciprocates in the groove 401. As a result, the moving block 420 makes an elliptical motion as a whole, driving the feed dog 210 thereon to make an elliptical remote motion to transport the cloth. Compared with the existing main shaft driving method, the present embodiment is driven by the motor 330 to enable the cloth feeding mechanism to have a variety of motion frequencies to improve its applicability.

[0047] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 220 includes a lifting box 340, and the lower end of the mounting seat 310 is provided with a movable seat 530 located in the lifting box 340 and movable for lifting and lowering. The four corners of the movable seat 530 are provided with mounting columns 540 extending through the lifting box 340, and the mounting columns 540 are provided with a first spring 550 for pushing the movable seat 530 to move downward. The lower side wall of the movable seat 530 is provided with a guide slope 531, and the guide slope 531 is provided with a T-shaped slider 532. A slidable driving block 610 is provided in the lifting box 340, and the upper end of the driving block 610 is provided with a T-shaped slide groove for the T-shaped slider 532 to slide into. The second driving assembly 230 is used to drive the driving block 610 to move to realize the lifting and lowering of the movable seat 530.

[0048] In this embodiment, a nut is threadedly installed on the through end of the mounting post 540 to enable the movable seat 530 to be installed;

[0049] The T-shaped slider 532 and the T-shaped slide groove are matched to make the driving block 610 slidably connected with the lower side of the moving seat 530. Thus, through the above structure, the driving block 610 slides along the guide slope 531, so that the moving seat 530 can be lifted and lowered in the lifting box 340, and the mounting seat 310 can be lifted and lowered as a whole, so as to adjust the height of the slot through which the feed dog 210 passes.

[0050] In this embodiment, the second drive component 230 includes a screw rod 350 rotatably arranged in the lifting box 340, and the screw rod 350 is threaded through the drive block 610; the second drive component 230 also includes an installation box 360, one end of the screw rod 350 extends into the installation box 360, and the protruding end of the screw rod 350 is provided with a first bevel gear 611, and a rotatable rotating rod 370 is provided in the installation box 360, and a second bevel gear 721 meshing with the first bevel gear 611 is provided on the rotating rod 370, and the upper end of the rotating rod 370 passes through the installation box 360 and protrudes.

[0051] In actual use of this embodiment, both ends of the screw rod 350 are rotatably mounted in the lifting box 340 and the installation box 360 through bearings, thereby realizing the rotatable installation of the screw rod 350. At the same time, the rotating rod 370 is rotatably mounted on the installation box 360 through bearings.

[0052] In this embodiment, since the screw rod 350 is threaded through the drive block 610, the screw rod 350 can rotate to drive the drive block 610 to move; wherein, through the cooperative arrangement of the mounting column 540 and the first spring 550, the lifting and lowering of the moving seat 530 in the lifting box 340 is more stable;

[0053] Among them, the upper end of the rotating rod 370 extends through the installation box 360 so that its upper end is located below the operating cover 20, so that when the operating cover 20 is opened, the first bevel gear 611 and the second bevel gear 721 are engaged with each other, so that the screw rod 350 can be driven to rotate by rotating the rotating rod 370, thereby realizing the movement of the driving block 610.

[0054] In this embodiment, the protruding end of the rotating rod 370 is sleeved with a liftable rotating cylinder 380, a second support plate 361 is provided on one side of the installation box 360, a rotating plate 810 is rotatably sleeved outside the rotating cylinder 380, a connecting column is provided on the rotating plate 810 and passes through the second support plate 361, a second spring 820 for driving the rotating plate 810 to move downward is sleeved on the connecting column, a guide block 390 is provided at the protruding end of the connecting column, a guide groove is provided on the guide block 390, a guide slide bar 830 is provided on the lower side surface of the operating cover plate 20, and the movement of the operating cover plate 20 is used to drive the guide slide bar 830 to slide into the guide groove, thereby realizing the upward movement of the guide block 390.

[0055] In actual use of this embodiment, a limit block is provided on the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 380 along its height direction, and a limit groove for the limit block to slide into is provided on the outer wall of the extended end of the rotating rod 370, thereby forming a key groove fit between the two, that is, the rotation of the rotating cylinder 380 can drive the rotating rod 370 to rotate, and at the same time, the rotating cylinder 380 can be raised and lowered along the rotating rod 370;

[0056] The lower end of the rotating cylinder 380 extends outward to form a limiting portion for overlapping the rotating plate 810, and the rotating cylinder 380 is externally threaded with a locking nut for limiting the rotating plate 810 on the limiting portion, thereby realizing the rotation connection between the rotating plate 810 and the rotating cylinder 380;

[0057] Among them, combined Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the guide slide groove includes an inclined groove portion 911 and a horizontal groove portion 912, so that in actual use, when the operator drives the operating cover 20 to slide away from the needle plate 10, the guide slide bar 830 is driven to approach the guide block 390. During this process, the guide slide bar 830 slides along the inclined groove portion 911, thereby causing the guide block 390 to move upward, that is, the rotating cylinder 380 is driven upward by the rotating plate 810 to extend from the opened operating port, so that the operator can rotate the rotating cylinder 380. When the guide slide bar 830 slides from the inclined groove portion 911 into the horizontal groove portion 912, the guide block 390 stops moving upward at this time, so that the operating port is opened to the maximum, so that the operator can repair the cloth feeding mechanism installed inside the sewing machine; when the operator drives the operating cover 20 to slide toward the needle plate 10, the rotating cylinder 380 can be automatically retracted, thereby facilitating subsequent use.

[0058] Combination Figure 8-9 As shown, in this embodiment, a mounting groove 901 is provided on the guide block 390 corresponding to the rotating cylinder 380; the control unit includes a trigger switch 902 disposed in the mounting groove 901 and electrically connected to the motor 330, and the operation cover 20 moves to drive the guide slide bar 830 to slide into the guide slide groove to trigger the trigger switch 902, and the trigger switch 902 is used to control the motor 330 to work so that the swing rod 331 rotates to the highest point.

[0059] In this embodiment, the mounting groove 901 is used to mount the trigger switch 902. When it is actually used, when the guide slide bar 830 slides into the horizontal groove portion 912, the trigger switch 902 can be triggered. A stop plate that penetrates the mounting groove 901 is slidably arranged in the horizontal groove portion 912. When the guide slide bar 830 slides into the horizontal groove portion 912, it can press the stop plate to move the stop plate toward the trigger switch 902, thereby triggering the trigger switch 902.

[0060] Through the above-mentioned structure, when the operating cover 20 slides away from the needle plate 10 to open the operating port, it can control the motor 330 to drive the swing rod 331 to rotate to the highest point, thereby making the feed dog 210 extend to the highest point through the slot hole, so as to facilitate observation when the height of the feed dog 210 is subsequently adjusted.

[0061] In this embodiment, the control unit also includes a controller, and the trigger switch 902 is electrically connected to the motor 330 through the controller. The control unit also includes an infrared sensor, which is arranged above the first support plate 311. The infrared sensor is electrically connected to the controller. The infrared sensor is used to detect whether the swing rod 331 has rotated to the highest point. When the infrared sensor does not detect that the swing rod 331 has rotated to the highest point, at this time, the trigger switch 902 is triggered, and the controller controls the motor 330 to drive the swing rod 331 to rotate to the highest point, so that the feed dog 210 passes through the slot and extends to the highest point. When the infrared sensor detects that the swing rod 331 has rotated to the highest point, at this time, the trigger switch 902 is triggered, and the controller will not control the motor 330 to drive the swing rod 331 to rotate, even if the feed dog 210 remains in the state of passing through the slot and extending to the highest point.

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, the present embodiment further provides a sewing machine, comprising a machine body (not shown in the figure), a machine base 30 and a machine head 31 arranged on the machine base 30, the machine base 30 and the machine head 31 can be flipped and arranged on the upper side of the machine body, and the above-mentioned cloth feeding mechanism is provided in the machine body and below the machine base 30.

[0063] The sewing machine in the present embodiment has an operation port connected to the machine body on the upper side of the machine base 30, and the needle plate 10 is detachably mounted on the upper side of the machine base 30.
