Description

Technical Field

[0001] One or more embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the technical field of embroidery machines, and in particular, to a tape embroidery method, module, device, embroidery machine and embroidery product. Background Art

[0002] In the existing embroidery process, a cord-like embroidery material (which may be flat or cylindrical) such as a belt or a rope is embroidered on the embroidery material to form a three-dimensional and decorative pattern. Usually, the cord-like embroidery material is embroidered on the embroidery material by a coiling embroidery device or a simple cord embroidery device.

[0003] Prior application CN113584749B discloses a coiling embroidery device and a coiling embroidery control method. By controlling the presser foot sleeve to rotate a certain angle in one direction and then rotate a certain angle in the opposite direction, the presser foot or nozzle installed on the presser foot sleeve is rotated, and then the belt or rope of the nozzle passing through the presser foot is driven to swing on the left and right sides of the path formed in the direction of the embroidery stitch, so that the rope or belt is attached to the embroidery material by the stitches formed between the two lower needle points, so as to realize the sawtooth embroidery operation. It is found in the application that because the embroidery pattern has a certain shape, the stitch direction needs to change, and the presser foot sleeve and the material tray need to rotate in the direction of the stitch. At the same time, the presser foot sleeve also needs to rotate in the forward and reverse directions in coordination with the sawtooth embroidery operation, generally rotating 120 degrees to 180 degrees, and the back and forth rotation range is large. Frequent and large rotation of the presser foot sleeve will cause increased mechanical wear between the tubular structures. In addition, the control program of the presser foot sleeve is complicated, and the control accuracy of the sawtooth embroidery operation is required to be high. When two conveying members are installed on the presser foot sleeve of the coiling embroidery device, at least one conveying member is used for zigzag embroidery, and the two material trays respectively convey the rope-ribbon embroidery materials to the two conveying members for alternating embroidery, during the zigzag embroidery operation, one material tray and one conveying member convey the rope-ribbon embroidery materials for the zigzag embroidery operation, and the other material tray and the other conveying member are in a non-operating state, but the rope-ribbon embroidery materials are always inserted on the other conveying member. Since the presser foot sleeve rotates frequently during the zigzag embroidery operation, the rope-ribbon embroidery materials inserted on the conveying member in a non-operating state are easily loosened, and the rope-ribbon embroidery materials may be entangled during the embroidery process, or the machine needle may penetrate the rope-ribbon embroidery materials, or the rope-ribbon embroidery materials may be thrown off from the conveying member, etc., and alternating embroidery cannot be performed continuously, and the machine needs to be stopped for adjustment, which affects the embroidery efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0015] The terms "first", "second", "third", etc. in the disclosure and claims of this disclosure and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but optionally includes steps or units that are not listed, or optionally includes other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0016] As mentioned above, the tape embroidery device can use different embroidery techniques to fix the cord-ribbon embroidery material on the embroidery material. The embroidery process generally includes the tape embroidery process (i.e., the tape embroidery operation referred to in this article), which mainly uses the machine needle to successively pierce the cord-ribbon embroidery material and the embroidery material, and sew the cord-ribbon embroidery material on the embroidery material to form a three-dimensional pattern. The embroidery process also includes the zigzag embroidery process (i.e., the zigzag embroidery operation referred to in the text), also known as Z-shaped embroidery, which mainly refers to the conveying parts (such as nozzles and spouts) for conveying cord-ribbon embroidery materials swinging in a Z-shaped or zigzag trajectory on the left and right sides of the path formed in the direction of the stitches, so that the rotation of the material reel and the swinging of the conveying parts (such as nozzles and spouts) for conveying cord-ribbon embroidery materials form an angle deviation, so that the cord-ribbon embroidery material is attached to the embroidery material by the stitches formed between the two lower needle points.

[0017] The material tray on the tape embroidery device needs to rotate in the direction of the embroidery stitches and transport the rope-ribbon-like embroidery material to the transport member for zigzag embroidery (i.e., the first transport member referred to in this article), or to the transport member for tape embroidery (i.e., the second transport member referred to in the text). The machine needle inserts the needle into the embroidery material, and the embroidery thread embroiders the rope-ribbon-like embroidery material onto the embroidery material according to the zigzag embroidery process or the tape embroidery process. Continuous operation can complete the corresponding embroidery. During the operation, the embroidery frame moves so that the machine needle is positioned above the embroidery material where the next needle insertion point is located. The machine needle inserts the needle and forms a stitch at the needle insertion point. The needle continues to insert the needle along the direction of the stitch to form a section of stitch between the two stitches. In this way, the needle is inserted repeatedly. After completing multiple stitches along the direction of the stitch, multiple sections of stitches are formed. The rope-ribbon-like embroidery material attached to the multiple sections of stitches forms a three-dimensional pattern on the embroidery material.

[0018] In the applicant's prior invention patent, the material plate and presser foot sleeve of the tape embroidery device rotate independently using their own driving mechanisms, and the two do not rotate synchronously, while the presser foot sleeve rotates following the embroidery stitch direction. When performing zigzag embroidery, first control the presser foot sleeve to rotate a certain angle in one direction, so that the path formed by the rope-shaped embroidery material delivered by the nozzle installed on the presser foot sleeve is offset from the stitch direction, then control the machine needle to insert the embroidery material, and then control the presser foot sleeve to rotate a certain angle in the opposite direction, so that the path formed by the rope-shaped embroidery material and the stitch direction is offset, and then control the machine needle to insert the embroidery material, and control the presser foot sleeve to rotate in the above manner until the zigzag embroidery operation is completed. In actual application, during the zigzag embroidery operation, the presser foot sleeve not only needs to rotate synchronously with the stitch direction in real time, but also needs to rotate forward and reverse to complete the zigzag embroidery operation, generally rotating 120 to 180 degrees, with a large range of back and forth rotation. Frequent and large rotation of the presser foot sleeve will increase the mechanical rotational wear between the tubular structures (for example, between the presser foot sleeve and the material tray shaft sleeve, between the presser foot sleeve and the needle bar, etc.). Although lubricating oil can be added between the tubular structures to alleviate wear, it is necessary to frequently add lubricating oil in conjunction with the frequent use of the presser foot sleeve, and the lubricating oil generally requires stopping the machine to add, which is a harsh operation. Once too much lubricating oil is added, it will flow out of the tubular structure and contaminate the embroidery material. Accordingly, the action instructions of the presser foot sleeve are complex, and under the high-speed operation of the tape embroidery, this requires higher program control and the coordination and completion accuracy between machine parts. During the period of using the tape embroidery device to alternately transport the rope-shaped embroidery materials on different material trays to different conveying parts on the presser foot sleeve for alternating embroidery, there is also a problem that affects the smooth progress of the alternating embroidery operation. Alternating embroidery requires different cord-like embroidery materials to be wound around two material trays, which can be cord-like embroidery materials for band embroidery and cord-like embroidery materials for sawtooth embroidery, or both cord-like embroidery materials for sawtooth embroidery (can be different colors, materials, shapes). In addition, two conveying parts need to be installed on the presser foot sleeve at the same time, one material tray corresponds to one conveying part, and the cord-like embroidery materials conveyed on the material tray are conveyed to the corresponding conveying part. During the operation, both conveying parts are always penetrated with cord-like embroidery materials. When the material tray A and the conveying part A cooperate with the sawtooth embroidery operation, the material tray B will also rotate with the material tray frame, and the cord-like embroidery materials between the material tray B and the conveying part B will be pulled. In addition, the presser foot sleeve rotates frequently, and the cord-like embroidery materials penetrated on the conveying part B are easy to be loosened. In this way, the cord-like embroidery materials on the conveying part B may be entangled after being loosened, and the cord-like embroidery materials may also be thrown off from the conveying part B.When switching to material tray B and conveyor B for ribbon embroidery or sawtooth embroidery, the cord-like embroidery material on conveyor B may be entangled, or there may be no cord-like embroidery material to be conveyed on conveyor B. In either case, embroidery cannot be continued, and the machine needs to be stopped for adjustment, and the cord-like embroidery material needs to be straightened and threaded onto conveyor B again before the machine is started again, which greatly reduces the embroidery efficiency. In addition, the cord-like embroidery material on conveyor B may interfere with the normal operation of the cord-like embroidery material on conveyor A after being loosened. The cord-like embroidery material on conveyor A may be entangled by the cord-like embroidery material on conveyor B, or may be interfered by the cord-like embroidery material on conveyor B and affect the deflection angle, causing the machine needle to pierce the cord-like embroidery material during sawtooth embroidery operation, affecting the quality of the embroidery product.

[0019] In view of this, the disclosed embodiment is further improved on the basis of the prior invention patent, and the conveying member for sawtooth embroidery is driven to swing by controlling the lifting and lowering of the feed shaft sleeve, so that the conveying member for sawtooth embroidery can swing on the left and right sides of the path formed in the direction of the embroidery stitch, and the rope-shaped embroidery material is attached to the embroidery material by the stitches formed between the two lower needle points. In addition, the presser foot sleeve and the material tray frame are controlled to rotate synchronously with the embroidery stitch direction, so that the swing plane where the conveying member is located and the path formed in the stitch direction are stably maintained at a certain angle.

[0020] In this way, the sawtooth embroidery is transformed from being realized by rotating the presser foot sleeve to being realized by driving the feed shaft sleeve to rise and fall so that the conveyor swings. In addition, the material tray frame rotates synchronously with the embroidery stitch direction. In this way, on the one hand, the presser foot sleeve only needs to realize a simple stitch direction following rotation, reducing the mechanical wear caused by the frequent rotation of the presser foot sleeve. On the other hand, the swing drive source of the conveyor is provided by the lifting drive part of the feed shaft sleeve, and there is no need to add other driving mechanisms. Instead, the feed shaft sleeve is configured from the control level for the functional instructions required for sawtooth embroidery operation, which simplifies the complexity of the presser foot control program and reduces the precision requirements for the control coordination of each component. Furthermore, when applied to alternating embroidery, when the material tray and conveyor on one side cooperate with the sawtooth embroidery, the rope-shaped embroidery material on the conveyor on the other side will not be loosened, and the current sawtooth embroidery operation will not be interfered with, and the subsequent embroidery operation of the material tray and conveyor on the other side will not be affected.

[0021] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a tape embroidery device 100 used in a tape embroidery method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1As shown, the tape embroidery device 100 includes a housing 10, a needle bar portion, a presser foot portion, and a material tray portion (the material tray frame is not shown). The needle bar portion includes a needle bar and a needle bar driving mechanism, and the needle bar is vertically arranged through the housing 10. The needle bar driving mechanism includes a cam and a connecting rod mechanism, which is used to drive the needle bar to move up and down. The presser foot portion includes a presser foot mounting member 22, a presser foot sleeve 21, a presser foot lifting driving mechanism 50, and a presser foot rotating driving mechanism 20. The presser foot sleeve 21 is sleeved outside the needle bar, and the presser foot lifting driving mechanism 50 drives the presser foot sleeve 21 to rise and fall along the needle bar. The presser foot rotating driving mechanism 20 is used to drive the presser foot sleeve 21 to rotate. A conveying member for tape embroidery (i.e., the second conveying member referred to in this article) is installed on the presser foot mounting member 22, which is shown in the form of a presser foot 23 in the figure, and can also be a nozzle, which is used to convey rope-shaped embroidery materials of different shapes. According to the embroidery requirements, the nozzle or presser foot can be assembled to the presser foot mounting part through bolts and other fixings, and the conveyor can also be removed when no embroidery operation is performed.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, a tray sleeve 31 is provided outside the presser foot sleeve 21, and the tray sleeve 31 can be rotatably clamped on the housing 10 or the beam of the embroidery machine. The tray rotation drive mechanism 30 of the tray part is used to drive the tray sleeve 31 to rotate, and then drive the tray frame installed on the tray sleeve 31 to rotate. The tray frame includes a frame body and a tray (can be one or more) installed on the frame body. The tray frame is usually equipped with one or two trays. The tray conveys the rope-shaped embroidery material to the conveying member for coiling and tape embroidery. In some embodiments, when performing tape embroidery, the tray rotation drive mechanism 30 drives the tray frame and the presser foot sleeve 21 to rotate asynchronously. The presser foot rotation drive mechanism 20 drives the presser foot sleeve 21 to rotate synchronously following the direction of the embroidery stitch. In some embodiments, when performing sawtooth embroidery, the tray rotation drive mechanism 30 drives the tray frame and the presser foot sleeve 21 to rotate synchronously. The presser foot rotation driving mechanism 20 drives the presser foot sleeve 21 to rotate synchronously following the embroidery stitch direction.

[0023] like Figure 1As shown, the coiling embroidery device 100 also includes a feed shaft sleeve 41 and a feed lifting drive mechanism 40. The feed shaft sleeve 41 is sleeved outside the material tray shaft sleeve 31. When the material tray rotation drive mechanism 40 drives the material tray shaft sleeve 31 to rotate, the feed shaft sleeve 41 can rotate with the material tray shaft sleeve 31. The feed lifting drive mechanism 40 is used to drive the feed shaft sleeve 41 to rise and fall along the material tray shaft sleeve 31. The feed shaft sleeve 31 is used to drive the conveying member (i.e., the first conveying member 43 referred to herein) for sawtooth embroidery to swing. The figure shows it in the form of a nozzle 43, and it can also be a structure such as a thread passing sleeve. In the figure, the conveying member 43 is installed on a swing rod structure 42, and the swing rod structure 42 is installed on the material tray shaft sleeve 31. The swing rod structure 42 is driven by the feed shaft sleeve 41, so that when the feed shaft sleeve 41 moves up and down, the swing rod structure 42 swings horizontally around its swing fulcrum. In some embodiments, a feed piece 44 is installed on the feed sleeve 41, and the feed piece 44 is used to pass or bypass the rope-shaped embroidery material on the feed tray and then feed it to the conveying member. When the rope-shaped embroidery material passes through the feed piece 44 and is conveyed to the conveying member, the feed lifting drive mechanism 40 drives the feed sleeve to lift and lower, and drives the feed piece to lift and lower, and realizes the pulling and lowering of the rope-shaped embroidery material during the lifting process, and then before the embroidery frame is moved, the rope-shaped embroidery material between the embroidery frame and the material tray frame is no longer tightened, and the rope-shaped embroidery material will not be overly pulled and the pattern will not be deformed when it moves with the embroidery frame. In one example, when the tape embroidery device 100 performs tape embroidery, the feed piece 44 is set at the corresponding material tray, and the feed piece 44 can be set at another material tray, or the feed piece 44 can be not set.

[0024] Through this structure, the disclosed embodiment can realize the swing control of the conveying member for zigzag embroidery on the basis of the existing feed lifting drive mechanism 40 and feed shaft sleeve 41, which is simple and convenient to realize without the need to install other drive mechanisms. Furthermore, when two material trays and two conveying members are installed on the material tray frame for alternating embroidery, the conveying member for zigzag embroidery is swung by controlling the lifting of the feed shaft sleeve, and the rope-shaped embroidery material on the other conveying member will not fall out, which can ensure that when switching to another material tray and another conveying member for ribbon embroidery or zigzag embroidery, it can be switched smoothly and continue the operation according to the established procedure.

[0025] Figure 2 FIG. 2 shows an exemplary flow chart of a sawtooth embroidery process 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2As shown, the sawtooth embroidery process 200 is implemented by the controller of the coiling embroidery device. In frame 204, the sawtooth embroidery process 200 includes responding to the first operation instruction and executing the sawtooth embroidery operation based on the embroidery plate tape in the first operation instruction. During the sawtooth embroidery operation, the presser foot sleeve is controlled to rotate synchronously with the embroidery stitch direction, the material tray is controlled to rotate synchronously relative to the presser foot sleeve, and the feed shaft sleeve is controlled to be lifted and lowered to drive the first conveyor to swing on the left and right sides of the path formed in the embroidery stitch direction, and the rope-shaped embroidery material conveyed by the first conveyor is attached to the embroidery material by the stitches formed between the two needle points. Among them, the first operation instruction contains the relevant information of the operation type and the embroidery plate tape. The operation type in the first operation instruction can use an identifier to identify the sawtooth embroidery, and can also use an identifier to identify which material tray and conveyor are enabled for the sawtooth embroidery. The embroidery plate tape is a stitch route designed by the computer embroidery machine in advance according to the embroidery pattern, and generally contains the relevant information of multiple needle points. For example, the relevant information includes the coordinate position of each needle point arranged in the needle sequence. For another example, the relevant information includes the coordinate position of the first needle point, the offset displacement of the second needle point relative to the first needle point, and the offset displacement of other needle points. The offset displacement of each needle point is the offset displacement relative to the offset of the previous needle point. The first operation instruction also includes the swing angle required for the sawtooth embroidery operation, and the positive and negative values ​​are used to distinguish different swing directions. There are multiple swing angles in the first operation instruction, corresponding to the configuration of each needle point in the embroidery stitch plate. The swing angle is based on the embroidery pattern configuration, and the controller can be pre-configured with a mapping table of swing angle and lifting height. Different swing angle values ​​correspond to different height values, and positive and negative values ​​are used to distinguish between rising or falling. After receiving the first operation instruction, the controller can parse the first operation instruction, determine the corresponding lifting height through the mapping table, and then control the feed shaft sleeve to rise or fall to the corresponding height. In some examples, the swing angles on both sides are generally the same, such as 30 degrees for the left swing and 30 degrees for the right swing. In actual application, a certain error is allowed, and the swing angles on both sides are slightly different. In other examples, the swing angles on both sides may also be different, according to the requirements of some special embroidery patterns.

[0026] In some embodiments, the first conveyor swings on the left and right sides of the path formed in the embroidery stitch direction, and the rope-shaped embroidery material conveyed by the first conveyor is attached to the embroidery material by the stitches formed between the two needle insertion points, which may include one of the two needle insertion points being located on the left side of the path and the other being located on the right side of the path, and after the needle is inserted into the embroidery material to form a stitch point, the stitch formed between the two stitch points attaches the rope-shaped embroidery material to the embroidery material. Wherein, the path refers to the connecting line between the two needle insertion points. After the needle is inserted into the embroidery material to form a stitch point, there is a stitch between two adjacent stitch points. The two stitch points may be two adjacent stitch points. In one example, the feed shaft sleeve rises, the first conveyor swings to one side, and the needle is inserted at the first needle insertion point to form the first stitch point, and then the feed shaft sleeve descends, and the other side of the first conveyor swings, and the needle is inserted at the second needle insertion point to form the second stitch point. A section of stitch is formed between the first stitch point and the second stitch point, and this section of stitch binds the rope-like embroidery material to the embroidery material. The two needle insertion points can also be two spaced needle insertion points, and there are other needle insertion points between the two spaced needle insertion points. The other needle insertion points refer to the needle insertion points when the first conveyor member stops and does not swing. In one example, the feed shaft sleeve rises, the first conveyor member swings to one side, and the needle is inserted at the first needle insertion point to form the first stitch point. After that, the feed shaft sleeve maintains the current height, and the first conveyor member still stops at the previous swing angle, and the needle is inserted at the second needle insertion point to form the second stitch point. After that, the feed shaft sleeve descends, and the first conveyor member swings to the other side, and the needle is inserted at the third needle insertion point to form the third stitch point. A section of stitch is formed between the first stitch point and the second stitch point, and a section of stitch is formed between the second stitch point and the third stitch point. The section of stitch between the second stitch point and the third stitch point ties the rope-shaped embroidery material to the embroidery material. According to the embroidery needs, it is not limited to one stitch at a time, and multiple stitches can also be used. In another example, the above two examples are mixed in the zigzag embroidery operation.

[0027] In some embodiments, the sawtooth embroidery operation includes controlling the feed sleeve to rise during the process of controlling the presser foot sleeve and the material tray to rotate in the direction of the embroidery stitch, so as to drive the first conveying member to swing to one side of the path formed in the direction of the embroidery stitch before the machine needle pierces the embroidery material. Controlling the feed sleeve to descend to drive the first conveying member to swing to the other side of the path formed in the direction of the embroidery stitch after the machine needle pierces the embroidery material and before the machine needle pierces the embroidery material again. The feed sleeve is controlled to rise and fall in the above manner, so that the first conveying member swings on the left and right sides of the path formed in the direction of the embroidery stitch, and the rope-like embroidery material is attached to the embroidery material by the stitches formed between the two needle points, until the embroidery plate tape in the first operation instruction is completed. In some embodiments, the sawtooth embroidery operation includes controlling the feed sleeve to descend during the process of controlling the presser foot sleeve and the material tray to rotate in the direction of the embroidery stitch, so as to drive the first conveying member to swing to one side of the path formed in the direction of the embroidery stitch before the machine needle pierces the embroidery material. The feed shaft sleeve is controlled to rise, so as to drive the first conveying member to swing to the other side of the path formed in the embroidery stitch direction after the machine needle pierces the embroidery material and before the machine needle pierces the embroidery material again. The feed shaft sleeve is controlled to rise and fall in the above manner, so that the first conveying member swings on the left and right sides of the path formed in the embroidery stitch direction, and the rope-shaped embroidery material is attached to the embroidery material by the stitches formed between the two needle points until the embroidery plate tape in the first operation instruction is completed. The above embodiment can swing continuously, or it can swing with one or several needles paused, or it can be a mixture of continuous swing and pause swing.

[0028] In some embodiments, controlling the presser foot sleeve to rotate synchronously with the embroidery stitch direction may include controlling the presser foot rotation drive mechanism to drive the presser foot sleeve to rotate synchronously with the embroidery stitch direction. Controlling the material tray to rotate synchronously with respect to the presser foot sleeve may include controlling the material tray rotation drive mechanism to drive the material tray shaft sleeve to rotate synchronously with respect to the presser foot sleeve, so as to drive the material tray mounted on the material tray shaft sleeve (the material tray is mounted on the material tray shaft sleeve through the frame) and the feed shaft sleeve to rotate.

[0029] In some embodiments, controlling the lifting of the feed sleeve to drive the first conveying member to swing on the left and right sides of the path formed in the direction of the embroidery stitch includes controlling the feed lifting drive mechanism to drive the feed sleeve to lift along the feed tray sleeve to drive the first conveying member to swing on the left and right sides of the path formed in the direction of the embroidery stitch.

[0030] In some embodiments, during the zigzag embroidery operation, the cord-like embroidery material is directly transported from the material tray to the first transport member. In some embodiments, during the zigzag embroidery operation, the cord-like embroidery material is output from the material tray and fed into the first transport member through the feed member. In one example, the cord-like embroidery material can pass through the feed member, so that the cord-like embroidery material can be pulled out when the feed member is raised or lowered. In another example, the cord-like embroidery material can bypass the feed member, so that the cord-like embroidery material can be pulled out when the feed member is raised or lowered.

[0031] Figure 3 FIG. 3 shows an exemplary flow chart of a tape embroidery process 300 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, the zigzag embroidery process 200B is implemented by the controller of the tape embroidery device. In frame 304, the tape embroidery process 200B includes executing the tape embroidery operation based on the embroidery plate tape in the second operation instruction in response to the second operation instruction. During the tape embroidery operation, the presser foot sleeve is controlled to rotate synchronously with the embroidery stitch direction, the material tray is controlled to rotate asynchronously relative to the second conveying member installed on the presser foot sleeve, and the feeder is controlled to be lifted and lowered, so that the rope-shaped embroidery material on the second conveying member is pulled out of the material tray for a section before the embroidery frame is moved. Among them, the second operation instruction contains relevant information of the operation type and the embroidery plate tape. The operation type in the second operation instruction can use an identifier to identify the tape embroidery, and can also use an identifier to identify which material tray and conveying member are enabled to perform a type of tape embroidery. The embroidery plate tape is a stitch route designed in advance by the computer embroidery machine according to the embroidery pattern, and generally contains relevant information of multiple needle points. For example, the relevant information includes the coordinate position of each needle point arranged in the order of needle placement. For another example, the relevant information includes the coordinate position of the first needle insertion point, the offset displacement of the second needle insertion point relative to the first needle insertion point, and the offset displacements of other needle insertion points. The offset displacement of each needle insertion point is the offset displacement relative to the offset of the previous needle insertion point.

[0032] In some embodiments, the band embroidery operation includes controlling the needle to lower the needle during the process of controlling the presser foot sleeve to rotate in the random needle embroidery stitch direction, controlling the embroidery thread to sequentially penetrate the rope-shaped embroidery material and the embroidery material on the second conveyor, and controlling the needle to lift the needle away from the embroidery material to form a stitch, thereby reciprocatingly controlling the needle to lower the needle and lift the needle to fix the rope-shaped embroidery material on the embroidery material to form a stitch, until the embroidery plate of the second operation instruction is completed. The two needle points can be two adjacent needle points. In one example, the needle lowers the needle at the first needle point, locks the rope-shaped embroidery material on the embroidery material, and forms the first stitch point, and then the needle lowers the needle at the second needle point, locks the rope-shaped embroidery material on the embroidery material, and forms the second stitch point. A section of stitch is formed between the first stitch point and the second stitch point. The two needle points can also be two spaced needle points, and there are other needle points between the two spaced needle points, and the other needle points refer to the needle points where the needle directly penetrates the embroidery material. In one example, the machine needle inserts the needle at the first needle insertion point, locks the rope-shaped embroidery material on the embroidery material, and forms the first stitch point. Then the machine needle inserts the needle at the second needle insertion point and directly pierces the embroidery material to form the second stitch point. Then the machine needle inserts the needle at the third needle insertion point, locks the rope-shaped embroidery material on the embroidery material, and forms the third stitch point. A section of stitch is formed between the first stitch point and the second stitch point, and a section of stitch is formed between the second stitch point and the third stitch point. According to the needs of embroidery, it is not limited to one stitch interval, and multiple stitches can also be used. In another example, the above two examples are mixed in the band embroidery operation.

[0033] In some embodiments, the process of reciprocatingly controlling the needle to lower and raise the needle to fix the cord-like embroidery material on the embroidery material to form stitches includes controlling the needle to penetrate the embroidery material so that the cord-like embroidery material on the second conveying member is locked to the embroidery material by the needle. The process may include controlling the feeder to rise so as to pull out the cord-like embroidery material on the material tray. The process may include controlling the needle to lift away from the embroidery material. The process may include controlling the feeder to descend so as to lower the cord-like embroidery material pulled out from the material tray. The process may include controlling the embroidery frame to move so as to pull the cord-like embroidery material to move after or during the lowering of the cord-like embroidery material. In addition, the process may include controlling the needle to lower the needle again and penetrate the embroidery material, and repeating the above process until the embroidery plate of the second operation instruction is completed. In one example, controlling the movement of the embroidery frame so that after the cord-ribbon-like embroidery material is lowered, the cord-ribbon-like embroidery material can be pulled to move, which can include controlling the embroidery frame to move after the cord-ribbon-like embroidery material is lowered after the feeder is controlled to descend to the lowest position. In another example, controlling the movement of the embroidery frame so that during the period when the cord-ribbon-like embroidery material is lowered, the cord-ribbon-like embroidery material can be pulled to move before the embroidery frame moves at high speed, which can include completing the lowering of the cord-ribbon-like embroidery material before the embroidery frame moves at high speed. The movement of the embroidery frame requires a startup process, after which the speed slowly increases, and then enters the high-speed moving frame interval to move, and finally decreases the speed until the embroidery frame stops. In this example, before the embroidery frame starts to start, the cord-ribbon-like embroidery material is lowered as the feeder descends and most of it (for example, 90%) has been lowered, and the remaining small amount (for example, 10%) can be lowered during the start-up and climbing of the embroidery frame. During this period, the embroidery frame moves slowly, and the embroidery frame has little or no pulling effect on the cord-ribbon-like embroidery material on the material tray. By adopting the above method, when the embroidery frame moves, the rope-shaped embroidery material on the material tray will not be subjected to a large mechanical pulling force, thereby not deforming the embroidery product and causing the problem of defective embroidery.

[0034] In some embodiments, controlling the presser foot sleeve to rotate synchronously with the embroidery stitch direction includes controlling the presser foot rotation drive mechanism to drive the presser foot sleeve to rotate synchronously with the embroidery stitch direction. Controlling the asynchronous rotation of the material tray relative to the second conveying member installed on the presser foot sleeve includes controlling the material tray rotation drive mechanism to drive the material tray shaft sleeve to rotate asynchronously relative to the second conveying member, so as to drive the material tray installed on the material tray shaft sleeve (the material tray is installed on the material tray shaft sleeve through the frame) and the feed shaft sleeve to rotate, and the feed shaft sleeve is installed with a feed member. In some examples, the rotation speed of the material tray is controlled to be slower than the rotation speed of the presser foot sleeve. The material tray can control the rotation speed of the material tray to be slower than the rotation speed of the presser foot mounting member while satisfying the amount of embroidery thread of the machine needle. For example, the material tray frame can be controlled to stop rotating within 30 degrees of the stitch, and only the presser foot mounting member can be controlled to rotate. For another example, the rotation speed of the material tray frame is controlled to be lower than the rotation speed of the presser foot mounting member.

[0035] In some embodiments, controlling the lifting of the feeding member to draw out a section of the rope-like embroidery material on the second conveying member from the material tray before moving the embroidery frame includes controlling the feeding lifting drive mechanism to drive the feeding shaft sleeve to lift along the material tray shaft sleeve to drive the feeding member to lift and lower, so as to draw out a section of the rope-like embroidery material on the second conveying member from the material tray before moving the embroidery frame.

[0036] Figure 4 FIG. 4 shows an exemplary flow chart of the tape embroidery method in the alternating embroidery process 400 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 As shown, the process 400 includes receiving a job instruction in frame 412. The process 400 includes determining whether to switch the job instruction in frame 414. First, the job instruction is parsed to obtain the job type in the job instruction. Then, it is determined whether the job type in the new job instruction is different from the job type in the previous job instruction. If so, the job instruction needs to be switched and enter frame 416. In frame 416, it is necessary to switch the material tray and conveyor required by the new job instruction to the waiting work station, then it is necessary to control the material tray shaft sleeve and the presser foot sleeve to rotate 180 degrees in the same direction, which can be counterclockwise rotation in the same direction, or clockwise rotation in the same direction. Usually, the coiling embroidery device is equipped with two material trays, and the two conveyors are arranged 180 degrees opposite to each other on both sides of the needle bar, each corresponding to a material tray. When the number of material trays changes, the placement position of the corresponding conveyor also changes, and the rotation angle is no longer 180 degrees. For example, when there are three material trays on the material tray rack, the material tray shaft sleeve and the presser foot sleeve are controlled to rotate 120 degrees in the same direction. In frame 418, the switched job instruction is executed. That is, the new material tray and conveyor start to perform embroidery work according to the new operation instruction in cooperation with the conveyor rope and ribbon embroidery material. In box 414, if it is determined that the operation type in the new operation instruction is the same as the operation type in the previous operation instruction, there is no need to switch the operation instruction. In other words, the current material tray and conveyor continue to work in cooperation with the operation instruction. In the above manner, it can be automatically determined whether to switch the working position for alternate embroidery, and switch from one type of embroidery to another type of embroidery without stopping the machine.

[0037] In some embodiments, the previous operation instruction is the first operation instruction, and the received operation instruction is the second operation instruction. When it is determined that the operation types are the zigzag embroidery type and the band embroidery type, they are considered to be two different types of operation instructions. The operation instruction is switched, and the material tray and the conveyor for band embroidery are rotated to the waiting operation station according to box 416, and then a new band embroidery operation is performed according to the second operation instruction. Correspondingly, when the previous operation instruction is the second operation instruction and the received operation instruction is the first operation instruction, the operation instruction is switched, and the material tray and the conveyor for zigzag embroidery are rotated to the waiting operation station, and then a new zigzag embroidery operation is performed according to the first operation instruction.

[0038] In some implementations, the previous operation instruction is the first operation instruction (or the second operation instruction), and the received operation instruction is the first operation instruction (or the second operation instruction). When it is determined that the operation types are all zigzag embroidery types (or band embroidery types), they are considered to be the same type of operation instructions, and the operation instructions are not switched, and the current material tray and conveyor continue to be used to execute the new operation instruction. In this case, although they are the same type of operation instructions, new operation instructions are formed due to different patterns.

[0039] In some embodiments, the job type in the first job instruction is subdivided, and for the rope-shaped embroidery materials of different colors and thicknesses used in the job, the detailed job type identification is performed, for example, A1 represents red zigzag embroidery, A2 represents gold zigzag embroidery, and A3 represents color zigzag embroidery. In this case, rope-shaped embroidery materials of different colors are transported by different material trays and conveyors. In box 414, if the job type identification A1≠A3 in the job instruction is determined, it is necessary to enter box 416, control the material tray shaft sleeve and the presser foot sleeve to rotate 180 degrees in the same direction, and execute the switched job instruction. Similarly, the above-mentioned job type subdivision is also performed in the second job instruction, and when the job types are not completely consistent, the process of box 416 and box 418 is entered. If and only if the job type identification is exactly the same, the operation in box 420 is entered, and at this time, the material tray and conveyor for the matching operation do not need to be replaced.

[0040] Figure 5 FIG. 2 shows a front view of a tape embroidery device with a loading tray 60 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 As shown, the needle bar 70 vertically passes through the housing 10, and the needle bar 70 is provided with a presser foot sleeve 21 on the outer surface of the needle bar 70, and a material tray sleeve 31 is provided on the outer surface of the presser foot sleeve 21, and a feed sleeve 41 is provided on the outer surface of the material tray sleeve 31. Among them, the material tray 60 is installed on the material tray sleeve 31 through a frame. The coiling and tape embroidery device includes a presser foot rotation drive mechanism, which is used to drive the presser foot sleeve 21 to rotate synchronously with the embroidery stitch direction. The presser foot rotation drive mechanism includes a presser foot rotation motor 201 and a presser foot rotation transmission structure 202 provided on the housing 10. The presser foot rotation motor 201 drives the presser foot rotation transmission structure 202 to drive the presser foot sleeve 21 to rotate, and then the second conveying member 23 installed on the presser foot sleeve 21 rotates (the second conveying member 23 in the figure is a presser foot, which is installed on the presser foot sleeve 21 through a presser foot mounting member 22, and can also be a second conveying member 23 of other forms for tape embroidery). The presser foot rotation transmission structure 202 can be implemented by a chain transmission structure, a belt transmission structure, etc. In some embodiments, the presser foot rotation transmission structure 202 includes a driving wheel, a driven wheel, and a transmission belt sleeved between the driving wheel and the driven wheel, and the driven wheel is key-connected with the groove on the presser foot sleeve 22. When the presser foot rotation motor drives the driving wheel to rotate, the driven wheel is then driven to rotate through the transmission belt, and then the presser foot sleeve is driven to rotate.

[0041] The coiling embroidery device also includes a material tray rotating drive mechanism for driving the material tray shaft sleeve 31 to rotate. The material tray rotating drive mechanism includes a material tray rotating motor 301 and a material tray rotating transmission structure 302. The material tray rotating motor 301 drives the material tray rotating transmission structure 302 to drive the material tray shaft sleeve 31 to rotate, and then drives the material tray 60 to rotate. The material tray rotating transmission structure 302 can be implemented by a chain transmission structure, a belt transmission structure, etc. In some embodiments, the material tray rotating transmission structure 302 includes a driving wheel, a driven wheel, and a transmission belt. The driven wheel is sleeved on the material tray shaft sleeve 31, and the transmission belt is sleeved between the driving wheel and the driven wheel. When the material tray rotating motor 301 drives the driving wheel to rotate, the driven wheel is then driven to rotate through the transmission belt, and then the material tray shaft sleeve 31 is driven to rotate. In some embodiments, during the sawtooth embroidery operation, the material tray rotating drive mechanism drives the material tray shaft sleeve to rotate synchronously relative to the presser foot sleeve. In this way, it can be ensured that the swing plane is always kept at a certain angle with the path formed by the embroidery stitch direction, for example, it is kept relatively vertical (a certain deflection error is allowed), and the left and right swing angles are relatively consistent. During the tape embroidery operation, the material tray rotation drive mechanism drives the material tray shaft sleeve to rotate asynchronously relative to the presser foot sleeve. In the asynchronous example, the rotation speed of the material tray shaft sleeve is slower than the rotation speed of the presser foot sleeve, so that the rotation of the material tray is slower than the rotation of the presser foot sleeve.

[0042] The tape embroidery device also includes a feed lifting drive mechanism, which is used to drive the feed sleeve 41 to rise and fall. The feed lifting drive mechanism includes a feed lifting motor 401, a feed transmission structure 402, and a drive rod 403. The feed lifting motor 401 drives the feed transmission structure 402 to transmit, and then drives the drive rod 403 to rise and fall. The end of the drive rod 403 is connected to the feed sleeve 31. When the drive rod 403 rises, the feed sleeve 31 rises accordingly, and when the drive rod 403 falls, the feed sleeve 31 falls accordingly. In some embodiments, the feed transmission structure includes a transmission assembly and a drive block arranged on the housing 10. The transmission assembly is implemented by a transmission component such as a pulley or a sprocket. The drive block is not only clamped on the transmission assembly, but also connected to the drive rod 403. When the drive block is driven by the transmission assembly to move up and down, it drives the drive rod 403 to move up and down accordingly. The end of the driving rod 403 is clamped in the annular groove on the feeding sleeve 41 with a fork-shaped structure. The up and down movement of the driving rod drives the feeding sleeve 41 to move up and down. A feeding piece 44 is installed on the feeding sleeve 41. In some examples, the feeding piece is used to feed the rope-shaped embroidery material output from the material tray to the second conveying piece 23 below (see the dotted horizontal dashed line transmission track on the right side of the figure). The second conveying piece 23 is used to cooperate with the tape embroidery operation. The feeding piece 44 also rises and falls when the feeding sleeve 41 is driven to rise and fall. It can pull out a part of the rope-shaped embroidery material in advance before the embroidery frame moves, so as to prevent the rope-shaped embroidery material between the material tray and the second conveying piece from being too tight when the embroidery frame moves, thereby affecting the quality of the embroidery pattern. In another example, the feeding piece can also be used as a fulcrum to feed the rope-shaped embroidery material output from the material tray around the feeding piece and then feed it downward to the second conveying piece 23.

[0043] The coiling embroidery device also includes a swing rod structure 42, which is installed on the material tray sleeve 31 and is equipped with a first conveying member 43 (the first conveying member 43 in the figure is a nozzle, and can also be a first conveying member of other forms for sawtooth embroidery). The first conveying member 43 is used to cooperate with the sawtooth embroidery operation. The swing rod structure 42 is also connected to the feed sleeve 41, and is driven by the feed sleeve 41 to swing, so that the first conveying member swings on the left and right sides of the path formed in the embroidery stitch direction, and the rope-shaped embroidery material conveyed by the first conveying member is attached to the embroidery material by the stitches formed between the two lower needle points. In this way, the feed lifting drive mechanism can not only realize the feeding function of driving the feed member 44, but also drive the swing rod structure to swing, so that there is no need to install other drive mechanisms on the existing coiling embroidery machine, and no installation space is occupied. In addition, the sawtooth embroidery operation that originally required the rotation of the presser foot sleeve to be completed is converted to a swing-type sawtooth embroidery operation that is realized by a feed drive mechanism, a feed shaft sleeve, and a swing rod structure, which not only simplifies the operation complexity of the presser foot sleeve, reduces the mechanical wear caused by the frequent rotation of the presser foot sleeve, but also avoids the rope-shaped embroidery material required for the embroidery to be performed alternately from being loosened from the conveyor on the other side due to the frequent rotation of the presser foot sleeve, thereby affecting the current sawtooth embroidery operation and causing the rope-shaped embroidery material to be inserted into the current sawtooth embroidery operation, affecting the quality of the embroidery, and the alternating embroidery operation cannot be performed continuously. In some embodiments, the rope-shaped embroidery material on the material tray is directly conveyed to the first conveyor 43 (see the line conveying track of the horizontal dotted line on the left side of the figure). In other embodiments, the rope-shaped embroidery material on the material tray can be transmitted to the first conveyor 43 after passing through or bypassing the feeder 44 (this track is not shown in the figure, and the line conveying track on the right side can be referred to).

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the tape embroidery device also includes a presser foot lifting drive mechanism, which is used to drive the presser foot sleeve 21 to move up and down along the needle bar 70. The presser foot lifting drive mechanism includes a presser foot lifting motor 501, a presser foot transmission structure 502, and a presser foot connecting piece 503. In some embodiments, the presser foot transmission structure 502 includes a transmission assembly and a drive block. The transmission assembly can be implemented by using a transmission component such as a pulley or a sprocket, and the drive block is not only clamped on the transmission assembly, but also sleeved on the drive rod 403. The presser foot connecting piece 503 is sleeved on the drive rod 403 and has a fork-shaped component, which is clamped in the annular groove on the presser foot sleeve 21. The presser foot lifting motor 501 drives the transmission assembly to transmit, and then drives the drive block to move up and down, and the drive block moves up and down along the drive rod 403 at the same time. Since the driving block and the presser foot connector are alternately sleeved on the driving rod 403, when the driving rod moves upward, the presser foot connector is also driven to rise along the driving rod, and then the presser foot sleeve 21 is driven to rise, and when the driving rod 403 moves downward, the presser foot connector is driven to descend along the driving rod 403, and then the presser foot sleeve 21 is driven to descend.

[0045] Figure 6 A side perspective structural diagram of a tape embroidery device without a material tray according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 6 The figure shows a presser foot rotating drive mechanism 20, a material tray rotating drive mechanism 30, and a material feeding lifting drive mechanism 40 installed on the casing 10 of the tape embroidery device. Figure 6 The structure in which the first conveying member 43 and the second conveying member 23 are each installed on the part extending below the housing 10 is also shown. The swing rod structure is connected to the feed sleeve 41 via the connecting rod 45. The swing rod structure includes a swing fulcrum portion 422 installed on the material tray sleeve, a mounting portion 423 for mounting the first conveying member 43, and a driving portion 421 for connecting with the connecting rod 45. When the feed sleeve 41 is driven to rise with the feed lifting drive mechanism 40, the connecting rod 45 moves upward, and then drives the driving portion 421 of the swing rod structure to move upward, and the swing rod structure swings around the swing fulcrum portion 422, and accordingly, the mounting portion 423 swings up in the clockwise direction in the figure. When the feed sleeve 41 is driven to descend with the feed lifting drive mechanism 40, the connecting rod 45 moves downward, and then drives the driving portion 421 of the swing rod structure to move downward, and the swing rod structure swings around the swing fulcrum portion 422, and accordingly, the mounting portion 423 swings up in the counterclockwise direction in the figure. In some examples, the swing fulcrum portion 422 can be directly mounted on the feed tray sleeve. In some examples, the swing fulcrum portion 422 can be mounted on the feed tray sleeve 31 via a connector 424 .

[0046] Figure 7The schematic diagram of the structure in which the first conveying member 23 and the second conveying member 43 are respectively installed on the material tray sleeve 31 and the presser foot mounting member 22 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The presser foot sleeve 21, the material tray sleeve 31 arranged outside the presser foot sleeve 21, and the feed sleeve 41 arranged outside the material tray sleeve 31 can be seen in the figure. A swing rod structure is installed on the material tray sleeve 31, and the swing fulcrum part 422 of the swing rod structure is connected to the material tray sleeve 31 through a connecting member 424, and the mounting part 423 of the swing rod structure is connected to the swing fulcrum part 422, and is also connected to the first conveying member 43. The driving part 421 of the swing rod structure is connected to the connecting rod 45, and the connecting rod 45 is fixed on the feed sleeve 41 and is driven by the feed sleeve to rise and fall. In some embodiments, the connecting rod 45 has an open annular part, and the end of the driving part 421 of the swing rod structure is accommodated in the open annular part, such as a ball, which is engaged in the open annular part. In this way, the lifting and lowering of the connecting rod 45 can drive the lifting and lowering of the driving part of the rocker structure. In addition, the presser foot sleeve 21 in the figure is installed with a second conveying member 23 through the presser foot mounting member 22. In some embodiments, two material trays are provided. When performing alternating embroidery, one material tray corresponds to the first conveying member to cooperate with the sawtooth embroidery operation, and the other material tray corresponds to the second conveying member to cooperate with the band embroidery operation. The first conveying member and the second conveying member are arranged opposite to each other. When performing band embroidery, a feeding member 44 is also provided on the feeding shaft sleeve 41. The rope-shaped embroidery material is introduced from the top of the feeding member 44 and conveyed downward to the second conveying member, so that the material tray and the presser foot sleeve can be operated asynchronously (for example, 1000~1500r / s operation). Before moving the embroidery frame, the rope-shaped embroidery material can be drawn out from the material tray by lifting and lowering the feeding member. When performing sawtooth embroidery, another feeder can be installed on the feeder sleeve on the side where the second feeder is located. The embroidery material is passed from the top of the feeder and transported downward to the second feeder. When the presser foot sleeve and the material tray are operated synchronously (for example, 700-1000r / s), the second feeder is driven to swing by the feeder sleeve, and the rope-shaped embroidery material can be drawn out from the material tray by the lifting of the feeder before the embroidery frame is moved. In addition, the feeder can be installed on the feeder sleeve on the side where the second feeder is located, or the feeder can be installed but not used, and the rope-shaped embroidery material on the material tray is directly transported to the first feeder. In this way, the second feeder is driven to swing by the feeder sleeve.

[0047] In some embodiments, a zigzag embroidery operation is performed using a coiling embroidery device. The first conveying member 43 is installed on the material tray sleeve through a rocker structure 42, and the feed sleeve 41 is connected to the rocker structure 42. When the feed sleeve is raised and lowered, the rocker structure 42 can be driven to swing. In one example, the controller of the coiling embroidery device responds to the first operation instruction and performs the zigzag embroidery operation based on the embroidery plate tape in the first operation instruction. During the zigzag embroidery operation, the presser foot sleeve is controlled to rotate synchronously with the embroidery stitch direction, the material tray sleeve is controlled to rotate synchronously relative to the presser foot sleeve, and the feed sleeve is controlled to rise and fall to drive the first conveying member to swing on both sides of the path formed in the embroidery stitch direction, so that the rope-shaped embroidery material conveyed by the first conveying member is attached to the embroidery material by the stitches between the two lower needle points.

[0048] In some embodiments, a tape embroidery device is used to perform tape embroidery. The second conveyor 23 is installed on the presser foot sleeve 21 through the presser foot mounting member 22. The feed shaft sleeve 41 is used to install a feed member 44, which is used to draw and release the thread for the rope-shaped embroidery material conveyed by the corresponding material tray during the tape embroidery operation. In one example, in response to the second operation instruction, the tape embroidery operation is performed based on the embroidery plate tape in the second operation instruction. During the tape embroidery operation, the presser foot sleeve is controlled to rotate synchronously with the embroidery stitch direction, the material tray is controlled to rotate asynchronously relative to the second conveyor installed on the presser foot sleeve, and the feed member is controlled to rise and fall, so as to draw a section of the rope-shaped embroidery material on the second conveyor from the material tray before moving the embroidery frame.

[0049] In some embodiments, the tape embroidery device is used to perform alternating operations of tape embroidery and zigzag embroidery. Figure 5As shown, the first conveying member 43 and the second conveying member 23 are assembled on the tape embroidery device, the first conveying member 43 is installed on the material tray sleeve 31 through the swing rod structure 42, and the second conveying member 23 is installed on the presser foot sleeve 21 through the presser foot mounting member 22. When the tape embroidery device has two material trays, the first conveying member 43 and the second conveying member 23 are generally installed on both sides of the needle bar outside the needle bar in a counter-position, corresponding to the respective material trays. The feed shaft sleeve 41 is used to install a feed member 44, which is used to draw and release the rope-shaped embroidery material conveyed by the corresponding material tray during the tape embroidery operation. The feed shaft sleeve 41 is also connected to the swing rod structure 42. When the feed shaft sleeve 41 moves up and down, it can drive the feed member 44 to move up and down, and can also drive the swing rod structure 42 to swing. In one example, the controller of the tape embroidery device responds to the first operation instruction and performs the zigzag embroidery operation based on the embroidery plate tape in the first operation instruction. During the sawtooth embroidery operation, the presser foot sleeve is controlled to rotate synchronously with the embroidery stitch direction, the material tray sleeve is controlled to rotate synchronously relative to the presser foot sleeve, and the feed sleeve is controlled to rise and fall to drive the first conveyor to swing on the left and right sides of the path formed in the embroidery stitch direction, so that the rope-shaped embroidery material conveyed by the first conveyor is attached to the embroidery material by the stitches between the two lower needle points. The controller of the tape embroidery device also responds to the second operation instruction and performs the tape embroidery operation based on the embroidery plate tape in the second operation instruction. During the tape embroidery operation, the presser foot sleeve is controlled to rotate synchronously with the embroidery stitch direction, the material tray is controlled to rotate asynchronously relative to the second conveyor installed on the presser foot sleeve, and the feed sleeve is controlled to rise and fall to pull a section of the rope-shaped embroidery material on the second conveyor from the material tray before moving the embroidery frame. In this process, the controller of the tape embroidery device also switches and judges the operation instructions. The process also includes, in response to the first operation instruction being executed and before the second operation instruction is subsequently executed, or in response to the second operation instruction being executed and before the first operation instruction is subsequently executed, controlling the tray shaft sleeve and the presser foot sleeve for mounting the tray to rotate 180 degrees in the same direction. Figure 5 For example, the left material tray and the first conveyor 43 are used for zigzag embroidery, and the right material tray and the second conveyor 43 are used for band embroidery. When the previous operation instruction is the first operation instruction and the next operation instruction is the second operation instruction, the left material tray and the first conveyor 43 are originally in the operation position. When switching to band embroidery, the material tray shaft sleeve and the presser foot sleeve need to be rotated so that the right material tray and the second conveyor 23 are rotated to the operation position.

[0050] In some embodiments, the coiling embroidery device is used to perform alternating operations of zigzag embroidery. The two first conveying members are installed on the material tray sleeve 31 through their respective swing rod structures 42, and are installed on both sides of the material tray sleeve corresponding to their respective material trays (different material trays convey rope-shaped embroidery materials of different colors or shapes). The feed sleeve 41 is connected to the swing rod structure 42. When the feed sleeve 41 moves up and down, it can drive the swing rod structure 42 to swing. In one example, the controller of the coiling embroidery device responds to the first operation instruction and performs the zigzag embroidery operation based on the embroidery plate tape in the first operation instruction. When it is judged that the operation type in the first operation instruction is realized by the cooperation of the material tray and the conveying member on one side, the zigzag embroidery operation process is completed by the material tray and the conveying member configuration on this side. In response to the new first operation instruction, the zigzag embroidery operation is performed based on the embroidery plate tape in the new first operation instruction. When it is determined that the operation type in the new first operation instruction is to be realized by the cooperation of the material tray and the conveyor on the other side, the material tray shaft sleeve and the presser foot sleeve on which the material tray is installed are controlled to rotate 180 degrees in the same direction, and the material tray and the first conveyor on the other side are transferred to the operation station.

[0051] In some embodiments, a coiling and taping embroidery device is used to perform alternating operations of tape embroidery. Two second conveying members are installed on both sides of the presser foot mounting member 22, corresponding to their respective material trays (different material trays convey rope-shaped embroidery materials of different colors or shapes). Two feeding members 44 are installed on the feed shaft sleeve 41, which are used to draw and release the rope-shaped embroidery materials conveyed by the corresponding material trays during tape embroidery operations. In one example, the controller of the coiling and taping embroidery device responds to the second operation instruction and performs the tape embroidery operation based on the embroidery plate tape in the second operation instruction. When it is determined that the operation type in the second operation instruction is realized by the cooperation of the material tray and the conveying member on one side, the tape embroidery operation process is completed by the material tray and the conveying member configuration on this side. In response to the new second operation instruction, the tape embroidery operation is performed based on the embroidery plate tape in the new second operation instruction. When it is determined that the operation type in the new second operation instruction is to be realized by the cooperation of the material tray and the conveyor on the other side, the material tray shaft sleeve and the presser foot sleeve on which the material tray is installed are controlled to rotate 180 degrees in the same direction, and the material tray and the first conveyor on the other side are transferred to the operation station.

[0052] The sawtooth embroidery operation process under one or more of the above embodiments includes controlling the presser foot sleeve and the material tray to rotate in the direction of the embroidery stitch, controlling the feed shaft sleeve to rise or fall, so as to drive the first conveying member to swing to one side of the path formed in the direction of the embroidery stitch before the machine needle pierces the embroidery material. The sawtooth embroidery operation process also includes controlling the feed shaft sleeve to fall or rise, so as to drive the first conveying member to swing to the other side of the path formed in the direction of the embroidery stitch after the machine needle pierces the embroidery material and before the machine needle pierces the embroidery material again, and controlling the feed shaft sleeve to rise and fall in the above manner, so that the first conveying member swings on the left and right sides of the path formed in the direction of the embroidery stitch, and the rope-like embroidery material is attached to the embroidery material by the stitches formed between the two needle points, until the embroidery plate tape in the first operation instruction is completed.

[0053] The band embroidery operation process under one or more of the above-mentioned embodiments includes, in the process of controlling the presser foot sleeve to rotate in the random needle embroidery stitch direction, controlling the machine needle to lower the needle, and the embroidery thread is sequentially inserted into the rope-shaped embroidery material and the embroidery material on the second conveying member, and controlling the machine needle to lift the needle away from the embroidery material to form a stitch, thereby reciprocatingly controlling the machine needle to lower the needle and lift the needle to fix the rope-shaped embroidery material on the embroidery material to form a stitch, until the embroidery plate tape of the second operation instruction is completed. In some embodiments, reciprocatingly controlling the machine needle to lower the needle and lift the needle to fix the rope-shaped embroidery material on the embroidery material to form a stitch includes controlling the machine needle to penetrate the embroidery material so that the rope-shaped embroidery material on the second conveying member is locked to the embroidery material by the machine needle. The reciprocating process also includes controlling the feeder to rise so as to pull out the rope-shaped embroidery material on the material tray. The reciprocating process also includes controlling the machine needle to lift away from the embroidery material. The reciprocating process also includes controlling the feeder to descend so as to lower the rope-shaped embroidery material pulled out from the material tray. The reciprocating process also includes controlling the embroidery frame to move, so as to pull the rope-shaped embroidery material to move after the rope-shaped embroidery material is lowered or during the period of lowering the rope-shaped embroidery material. In addition, the reciprocating process also includes controlling the needle to insert the embroidery material again, and repeating the above process until the embroidery plate of the second operation instruction is completed.

[0054] Figure 8 FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the feeding member 44 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 8 As shown, the feeding member can be a circular ring member (such as Figure 8 As shown in the figure) or arcuate ring (referring to an unclosed ring, such as a three-quarter ring or a semicircular ring). In this way, the rope-shaped embroidery material can enter the feeding member in any direction along the circumference of the ring surface, and can adapt to the rotation of the material tray, and the rope-shaped embroidery material can enter from all directions as the material tray rotates. At the same time, the ring surface can guide the rope-shaped embroidery material to move smoothly.

[0055] In some embodiments, the ring has an arc-shaped concave surface 441 at the feed inlet, and the arc-shaped concave surface is horizontal and downward. Figure 8As shown, the rope-shaped embroidery material generally enters from the top of the ring, is output from the bottom, and is then sent to the first conveyor or the second conveyor below. The upper entry point is the feed port, and the lower output point is the discharge port. The end face of the feed port of the ring is an arc end face, and the arc end face extends downward toward the center of the feed port, so that the caliber at the feed port gradually decreases, and the whole is concave, which is defined as an arc concave surface in the disclosed embodiment. In this way, a rope-shaped embroidery material with a certain width (such as a flat rope-shaped embroidery material) can enter from the arc concave surface at the feed port, and the arc concave surface can promote the rope-shaped embroidery material to enter smoothly and flatten, and at the same time, it is introduced downward into the first conveyor or the second conveyor along the direction of the arc concave surface (mainly horizontally downward). In some examples, the rope-shaped embroidery material can be made to enter the ring obliquely, and be vertically guided out of the ring, and then penetrate into the first conveyor or the second conveyor.

[0056] In some embodiments, the arcuate concave surface of the ring is arranged toward the corresponding material tray on the material tray frame. This can facilitate the guidance of the rope-shaped embroidery material into and output to the first conveyor or the second conveyor. In one example, the ring can be vertically installed on the tape embroidery device. For example, the feed inlet and the discharge port of the ring are arranged on the same vertical line. In another example, the ring can be tiltedly installed on the tape embroidery device. For example, the feed inlet is arranged close to the material tray on the same side, and the discharge port is arranged close to the rotation center of the material tray.

[0057] The feed piece 44 is mounted on the feed sleeve via a mounting piece. The mounting piece may be a mounting plate, which is fixed on the feed sleeve, for example, it may be fixed on the outside of the feed sleeve, or it may be fixed on the inside of the feed sleeve. In some embodiments, the mounting piece also has a mounting hole, allowing the feed piece 44 to be sleeved in the mounting hole. The feed piece 44 can cooperate with the mounting hole without relative rotation. In some embodiments, the mounting piece may also be welded to the feed piece, or screwed or fixed. In some embodiments, the mounting piece 44 may be installed so that the feed piece 44 is tilted (see Figure 7 ). In this way, the arc-shaped concave surface of the feeding member can face the material tray. In one example, the mounting member can be a blunt-angle connector or a connector in other forms. In some embodiments, the mounting member can vertically assemble the feeding member, and the mounting member can be a right-angle connector or a connector in other forms.

[0058] exist Figure 8 In one example, the feeder has a certain thickness, which can better guide the rope-shaped embroidery material to be flattened. In another example, the feeder can be a thin ring. Figure 8 In the example shown, the feeder includes an upper ring portion and a lower ring portion, and the outer diameter of the upper ring portion is greater than the outer diameter of the lower ring portion. In some embodiments, the feeder can also be a ring of other structural forms, such as a cylindrical ring formed by equal outer diameters of the upper and lower ring portions.

[0059] The disclosed embodiment designs a feeding piece with a simple structure to replace the feeding rack of the prior invention patent, so that when it is installed on the tape embroidery device, the rope-shaped embroidery material can be pulled out from the material tray and fed into the feeding piece, and the feeding piece can output the flattened tape material to the first conveying piece or the second conveying piece, ensuring that the tape material locked by the embroidery thread is smooth and the embroidery product has high quality.
