[0002] Existing sewing machines use a thread clamp (with a built-in spring to provide elastic pressure) to clamp the suture, so that the other end of the suture generates a certain tension when sewing on the fabric, thereby producing beautiful stitches.

[0064] The switching adjustment mechanism 4 is fixedly mounted on the top of the frame 1 .

[0065] Preferably, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the switching adjustment mechanism 4 includes a mounting frame 5, a switching adjustment shaft 6 and a preset gear wheel 7. The mounting frame 5 is a U-shaped frame as a whole, and the mounting frame 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the frame 1; the switching adjustment shaft 6 is horizontally arranged in the transverse direction, the switching adjustment shaft 6 is installed on the rear side of the mounting frame 5, and the two ends of the switching adjustment shaft 6 are rotatably connected to the mounting frame 5 through bearings, so that the switching adjustment shaft 6 can rotate around its own axis.

[0066] The number of the preset gear wheels 7 is one or more, and the preset gear wheels 7 are fixedly mounted on the switching adjustment shaft 6, and a preset gear segment 7a and an adjustment matching segment 7b are formed on the working surface of the preset gear wheel 7, that is, a preset gear segment 7a and an adjustment matching segment 7b are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the preset gear wheel 7; one end of the gear switching shaft 17 of the gear clamp 2 abuts against the working surface of the preset gear wheel 7, that is, one end of the gear switching shaft 17 of the gear clamp 2 abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the preset gear wheel 7, so that during the rotation of the preset gear wheel 7, the gear switching shaft 17 can successively contact the preset gear segment 7a and the adjustment matching segment 7b, and the gear switching shaft 17 can move axially by different distances.

[0067] The gear thread clamp 2 is located at the front side of the frame 1, and the gear thread clamp 2 is fixedly mounted on a wire passing plate 16, which is arranged in the transverse direction, and both ends of the wire passing plate 16 are fixedly connected to the mounting frame 5 of the switching adjustment mechanism 4; one end of the gear switching shaft 17 of the gear thread clamp 2 is transmission-connected to the outer circumferential surface of the preset gear wheel 7, so that through the axial movement of the gear switching shaft 17, the gear thread clamp 2 can apply an intermittently changing clamping force to the suture, thereby realizing the gear adjustment of the suture clamping force.

[0068] Preferably, Figure 3 As shown, the gear clamp 2 includes a gear switching shaft 17, a gear reset spring 18, a gear support pad 23, a gear compression spring 24 and a retaining spring 26, wherein the front end of the gear switching shaft 17 extends along the axial direction, and the gear switching shaft 17 passes through the wire plate 16 and is slidably connected with the wire plate 16 along the longitudinal direction, that is, the front end of the gear switching shaft 17 is correspondingly located on the front side of the wire plate 16, and the rear end of the gear switching shaft 17 is correspondingly located on the rear side of the wire plate 16.

[0069] The gear reset spring 18 is located at the rear side of the wire-passing plate 16, and the gear reset spring 18 is connected between the wire-passing plate 16 and the end of the gear switching shaft 17, that is, the gear reset spring 18 is sleeved on the gear switching shaft 17, and one end of the gear reset spring 18 abuts against the wire-passing plate 16, and the other end of the gear reset spring 18 abuts against the gear retaining ring 17a on the gear switching shaft 17, so that the gear switching shaft 17 can move backward in the longitudinal direction after the external force is removed.

[0070] A wire clamping piece 22 is installed on the front side of the wire passing plate 16 , and two wire clamping pieces 22 are sleeved on the gear shifting shaft 17 face to face.

[0071] The gear support pad 23, the gear compression spring 24 and the retaining spring 26 are located on the front side of the wire-passing plate 16, the gear support pad 23 is sleeved on the gear switching shaft 17, and the wire clamping piece 22 is located between the gear support pad 23 and the wire-passing plate 16; a gear guide slot 17b is formed on the gear switching shaft 17, and the gear guide slot 17b is formed on the gear switching shaft 17 along the longitudinal direction, that is, the gear guide slot 17b is formed on the gear switching shaft 17 along the axial direction of the gear switching shaft 17, and a gear guide slider 23b matching the gear guide slot 17b is formed in the inner hole of the gear support pad 23, and the gear guide slider 23b is slidably connected to the gear guide slot 17b.

When the gear support pad 23 squeezes the clamping piece 22, the relative position of the gear support pad 23 and the clamping piece 22 is fixed. Therefore, the gear switching shaft 17 can be controlled to move backward a predetermined distance along the axial direction, so that the gear compression spring 24 undergoes corresponding elastic deformation and applies a corresponding pressure to the gear support pad 23, thereby causing the two clamping pieces 22 to apply a predetermined clamping force to the suture, thereby realizing the gear adjustment of the suture clamping force.

The knob 31 is threadedly connected to the front end of the adjustment switching shaft 27, so that the compression deformation of the adjustment compression spring 29 is changed by rotating the knob 31 on the adjustment switching shaft 27, so as to achieve the adjustment of the clamping force of the suture by the two thread clamping pieces 22.

[0091] Specific embodiment 2, as Figure 8-Figure 18 As shown, a sewing machine with both gear adjustment and free adjustment is provided, and the sewing machine comprises: a frame 1, a gear clamp 2, a free clamp 3 and a switching adjustment mechanism 4.

[0096] When there are multiple preset gear wheels 7, the multiple preset gear wheels 7 are spaced apart along the axial direction and fixedly connected to the switching adjustment shaft 6. Correspondingly, the multiple gear clamps 2 are spaced apart along the lateral direction, for example, Figure 8 In the embodiment, the number of the gear clamps 2 is four; an adjustment matching segment 7b and at least one preset gear segment 7a are formed on the outer circumferential surface of each preset gear wheel 7, that is, the number of preset gear segments 7a is one or more.

The buffer pad 21 is mounted on the adjustment switching shaft 27, and the buffer pad 21 and the adjustment switching shaft 27 can move relative to each other in the axial direction, so that the axial force acts more evenly on the two wire clamping pieces 22.

[0111] The gear support pad 23 is sleeved on the gear switching shaft 17, and when the gear switching shaft 17 moves axially, the gear support pad 23 can be moved away from or close to the clamping plate 22.

[0113] An adjusting guide slot 27a is formed at the other end of the adjusting switching shaft 27, and an adjusting support pad 35 is sleeved on the adjusting switching shaft 27. An adjusting guide slider 35b in the inner hole of the adjusting support pad 35 is slidably connected in the adjusting guide slot 27a, and a knob 31 is provided at the end of the gear switching shaft 17.

[0114] Specifically, as shown in the figure, a positioning member 30 is installed between the knob 31 and the adjusting compression spring 29, and the positioning member 30 is coaxially sleeved on the gear switching shaft 17, and the positioning member 30 and the gear switching shaft 17 can move relative to each other along the axial direction; the positioning member 30 is generally in the shape of a cone with one end thick and the other end thin, and the large diameter end of the positioning member 30 faces the adjusting support pad 35, and the adjusting compression spring 29 is installed between the adjusting support pad 35 and the positioning member 30, that is, one end of the adjusting compression spring 29 abuts against the adjusting support pad 35, and the other end of the adjusting compression spring 29 abuts against the positioning member 30.

[0116] A connecting slider is formed in the inner hole of the positioning member 30, and the connecting slider is slidably connected in the gear guide groove 23b of the gear switching shaft 17, so that the positioning member 30 and the gear switching shaft 17 are slidably connected in the axial direction and prevent the positioning member 30 and the gear switching shaft 17 from rotating relative to each other in the circumferential direction.

[0117] A gear guide slot 17b is formed at the end of the gear switching shaft 17, the gear support pad 23 is sleeved on the gear switching shaft 17, and the gear guide slider 23b in the inner hole of the gear support pad 23 is slidably connected in the gear guide slot 17b, and a retaining spring 26 is fixedly connected to the end of the gear switching shaft 17, and a gear compression spring 24 is connected between the retaining spring 26 and the gear support pad 23, that is, one end of the gear compression spring 24 abuts on the retaining spring 26, and the other end of the gear compression spring 24 abuts on the gear support pad 23, so as to apply an intermittently changing clamping force to the clamping plate 22 through the elastic deformation of the gear compression spring 24 and the gear support pad 23.

[0118] More preferably, the gear support pad 23 is coaxially sleeved on the adjustment switching shaft 27, and the gear guide slider 23b in the inner hole of the gear support pad 23 passes through the adjustment guide slot 27a and is slidably connected in the gear guide slot 17b to reduce the axial size of the gear clamp 2.

[0119] The working process of the sewing machine with both gear adjustment and free adjustment of the present invention is as follows:

[0120] When the gear clamp 2 is used to adjust the gear of the suture, the preset gear segment 7a of the preset gear wheel 7 is rotated to the position of abutting the gear switching shaft 17 of the gear clamp 2 by rotating the switching adjustment shaft 6. At this time, the gear switching shaft 17 moves axially to the set position (there is a gap between the gear support pad 23 and the adjustment support pad 35), and the axial extrusion plate 23a of the gear support pad 23 contacts the buffer pad 21, and the gear compression spring 24, under the action of the retaining spring 26, will cause the gear compression spring 24 to produce a certain amount of compression accordingly, and exert pressure on the buffer pad 21 through the gear support pad 23, so that the two clamping plates 22 generate corresponding clamping forces on the suture. Therefore, by presetting multiple axial positions of the gear switching shaft 17, the gear support pad 23 can generate clamping forces of different sizes on the suture, thereby realizing the gear adjustment of the preset clamping force of the clamp.

[0121] At the same time, the rotation of the switching adjustment shaft 6 will cause the gear matching section 8b of the free adjustment wheel 8 to rotate to the position abutting against the adjustment switching shaft 27 of the free clamp 3. At this time, the adjustment switching shaft 27 is axially ejected to the limit position, so that the adjustment guide slider 35b of the adjustment support pad 35 abuts against one end of the adjustment guide slide groove 27a of the adjustment switching shaft 27, that is, the adjustment support pad 35 moves toward the knob 31 under the ejection action of the adjustment switching shaft 27, so that a gap appears between the adjustment support pad 35 and the buffer pad 21, that is, the elastic force of the adjustment compression spring 29 cannot act on the buffer pad 21, and the adjustment compression spring 29 fails; or under the action of the free adjustment wheel 8, the wire loosening claw 15 at the bottom end of the switching plate 14 is inserted between the two clamping pieces 22 of the free clamp 3, thereby making the free clamp 3 fail.

[0122] When the free thread clamp 3 is used to freely adjust the suture, the adjustment matching section 7b of the preset gear wheel 7 is rotated to the position of abutting the gear switching shaft 17 of the gear thread clamp 2 by rotating the switching adjustment shaft 6, thereby axially ejecting the gear switching shaft 17 to the limit position, so that the gear guide slider 23b of the gear support pad 23 abuts against one end of the gear guide slot 23b of the gear switching shaft 17, that is, the gear support pad 23 moves toward the knob 31 under the ejection action of the gear switching shaft 17, so that a gap appears between the axial extrusion plate 23a of the gear support pad 23 and the buffer pad 21, that is, the elastic force of the gear compression spring 24 cannot act on the buffer pad 21, and the gear compression spring 24 fails.

[0123] At the same time, the rotation of the switching adjustment shaft 6 will cause the free adjustment section 8a of the free adjustment wheel 8 to rotate to the position abutting the adjustment switching shaft 27 of the free clamp 3. At this time, the adjustment switching shaft 27 moves axially to a predetermined position, so that the adjustment support pad 35 contacts the buffer pad 21 under the action of the adjustment compression spring 29, and the adjustment support pad 35 can move back and forth axially on the adjustment switching shaft 27, that is, the elastic force of the adjustment compression spring 29 acts on the clamping piece 22, and the compression amount of the adjustment compression spring 29 can be changed by changing the screw-in length of the knob 31 on the gear switching shaft 17, thereby adjusting the pressure of the adjustment support pad 35 on the clamping piece 22, thereby realizing free adjustment of the clamping force of the clamp; or, under the action of the free adjustment wheel 8, the loose wire claw 15 at the bottom end of the switching plate 14 is pulled out from between the two clamping pieces 22 of the free clamp 3, so that the free clamp 3 clamps the suture.

[0124] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
