The fixed cylinder 5 is movably sleeved on the rotating column 4. A top sleeve 7 is fixedly sleeved on the top end of the rotating column 4. Multiple connecting blocks 8 are welded to the side surface of the top sleeve 7. Each connecting block 8 is fastened with a feeding plate 9 by bolts. A placing groove 44 is opened in the middle of the upper surface of the feeding plate 9. Pressing strips 60 are arranged on both side walls of the placing groove 44. A support plate 24 is arranged in the placing groove 44 through a moving structure. An embroidery groove 31 is opened in the middle of the upper surface of the support plate 24. Flattening and pressing structures are arranged on both sides of the upper surface of the feeding plate 9. A collecting frame 62 is arranged at the front side of the upper surface of the chassis 1;

[0036] The flattening and pressing structure includes first through grooves 11 opened on the feeding plate 9 on both sides of the placement groove 44. A screw rod 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first through groove 11 close to the placement groove 44. A first moving plate 13 is sleeved on the screw rod 12. Both ends of the first moving plate 13 are in close contact with the inner groove wall of the first through groove 11. A threaded groove for the screw rod 12 to pass through is opened on the first moving plate 13. A rotating shaft 14 rotatably passes through the first moving plate 13. A turning plate 15 is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the rotating shaft 14. A pressing strip 60 is installed at one end of the turning plate 15. A first driving structure is arranged between the rotating shaft 14 and the feeding plate 9;

[0037] The first driving structure includes a cross bar 21 fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the feeding plate 9 near the rear edge of the first through groove 11. A guiding bar 22 is installed on the front surface of the cross bar 21. The guiding bar 22 is in the shape of a parallelogram plate.

Through the extrusion of the guiding bar 22 on one end of the cylindrical rod 20, the driving block 19 is pushed to drive the first sliding block 18 to move downward in the first sliding groove 16, squeezing the first spring 17 to compress. And through the teeth on the driving block 19, the gear 23 and the entire rotating shaft 14 are driven to rotate, so as to drive the pressing strip 60 at one end of the turning plate 15 to press the fabric in the middle on the support plate 24. As the first moving plate 13 continues to move, the two pressed pressing strips 60 can be driven to move toward both sides on the fabric until the pressing strips 60 move onto the pressing plate 10, thereby tightening the fabric in the placement groove 44. Then, use the embroidery mechanism on the bracket 61 to embroider the tightened fabric in the placement groove 44 on the feeding plate 9 below it. When the embroidery work is completed, the motor 6 can be directly started to drive the rotating column 4 and the feeding plate 9 to rotate as a whole, moving the embroidered fabric out from below the bracket 61. At the same time, rotate the next piece of fabric to be embroidered onto the bracket 61 below and continue the embroidery work, greatly saving the embroidery time and improving the work efficiency.

[0038] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 9 、Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the moving structure includes fixing bars 25 installed at the front and rear side edges below the loading plate 9. Guide bars 26 are installed below the mutually approaching side surfaces of the two fixing bars 25. A moving frame 27 is slidably arranged between the two guide bars 26. A second driving structure is arranged between the moving frame 27 and the fixed cylinder 5. Cross bars 28 are connected to the front and rear edges of the inner walls on both sides of the moving frame 27. Inner plates 30 are movably sleeved on the two cross bars 28. A second spring 29 is sleeved on the cross bars 28. The two ends of the second spring 29 are respectively connected to the inner plate 30 and the moving frame 27. The support plate 24 movably passes through the inner plate 30. A limiting plate 33 is installed at the bottom end of the support plate 24. A limiting frame 32 is sleeved in the middle of the support plate 24. The limiting frame 32 is located above the inner plate 30. A limiting bar 34 is closely attached to the middle of the right side surface of the limiting frame 32. The top end of the limiting bar 34 is connected to the loading plate 9. A third driving structure is arranged between the limiting plate 33 and the moving frame 27. A transmission structure is arranged between the moving frame 27 and the first moving plate 13. An extrusion structure is arranged between the support plate 24 and the pressing plate 10;

[0039] The third driving structure includes a convex strip 35 arranged at the middle of the lower surface of the limiting plate 33. A first driving rod 36 is fixedly passed through the convex strip 35. First driving grooves 37 are opened on the front and rear side surfaces of the moving frame 27. The two ends of the first driving rod 36 are respectively movably inserted into the first driving grooves 37;

[0040] The second driving structure includes a convex block 38 arranged at the middle of the side surface of the moving frame 27 close to the rotating column 4. A first inserting rod 39 is fixedly passed through the convex block 38. A top plate 40 is fixedly sleeved on the fixed cylinder 5 close to the top end. A first arc groove 41 and a second arc groove 42 are opened on the top plate 40.

A third spring 58 is connected between the pressing plate 10 and the inner groove wall of the receiving groove 56. A second through groove 57 is opened in the middle of the lower groove wall of the receiving groove 56. A pushing block 59 passes through the second through groove 57. The top end of the pushing block 59 is connected to the pressing plate 10. When the rotating column 4 drives the bottom end of the first insertion rod 39 on the convex block 38 to slide from the second arc groove 42 and the corresponding communication groove 43 to the first arc groove 41 during rotation, it pushes the moving frame 27, the inner plate 30 and the support plate 24 as a whole to move away from the rotating column 4 on the feeding plate 9. When the extrusion block 55 on the right side surface of the support plate 24 driven by the moving frame 27 moves to be limited by the limiting strip 34, the support plate 24 is located directly below the placement groove 44. As the moving frame 27 continues to move, it drives the support plate 24 to slide relatively on the cross bar 28, stretching the second spring 29. During this process, it drives one end of the first driving rod 36 to slide in the first driving groove 37 on the moving frame 27, thereby pushing the support plate 24 to move upward and insert into the placement groove 44. And during the upward movement of the support plate 24, it drives the inclined surface on the extrusion block 55 to squeeze the pushing block 59, thereby pushing the pressing plate 10 out in the receiving groove 56 and inserting it into the placement groove 44, stretching the third spring 58, so that the upper surface of the support plate 24 and the upper surface of the pressing plate 10 are on the same horizontal plane, which is convenient for placing the fabric to be embroidered on the support plate 24 in the placement groove 44 and avoiding the problem of the fabric falling in the placement groove 44.

[0042] See Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7, the transmission structure includes a rotating rod 45 rotatably connected to the groove wall on the other side of the first through groove 11. A spiral groove is formed on the rotating rod 45. A second moving plate 46 is movably sleeved on the rotating rod 45. One end of the rotating rod 45 is fixedly connected to the screw rod 12. The middle of the upper surface of the second moving plate 46 is fixedly inserted with a second inserting rod 47. The bottom end of the second inserting rod 47 in a hemispherical shape is movably inserted into the spiral groove. Both ends of the lower surface of the second moving plate 46 are connected with bottom blocks 48. A second sliding groove 49 is formed at a position on the right side of the moving frame 27 close to the bottom block 48. A second sliding block 50 is slidably arranged in the second sliding groove 49. An L-shaped strip 53 is fixedly connected to the second sliding block 50. Two pushing and pulling blocks 54 are connected to the upper surface of the L-shaped strip 53. The distance between the two pushing and pulling blocks 54 is twice the thickness of the bottom block 48. A second driving rod 51 is connected to the side surface of the second sliding block 50. Second driving grooves 52 are formed on both sides of the fixed strip 25. One end of the second driving rod 51 is movably inserted into the second driving groove 52. When the support plate 24 moves upward into the placement groove 44, with the movement of the moving frame 27, one end of the second driving rod 51 is driven to slide in the second driving groove 52, pushing the second sliding block 50 to slide upward in the second sliding groove 49, and driving the two pushing and pulling blocks 54 to move upward to both sides of the bottom block 48 through the L-shaped strip 53. Then, with the continuous movement of the moving frame 27, by the pushing of one of the pushing and pulling blocks 54 on the bottom block 48, the second moving plate 46 is driven to move in the first through groove 11. By using the sliding of one end of the second inserting rod 47 on the second moving plate 46 in the spiral groove on the rotating rod 45, the screw rod 12 can be automatically driven to rotate, so as to automatically realize the tensioning work of the fabric in the placement groove 44. The structure is simple and the function is practical.

[0043] The implementation principle of a fabric tensioning device for an embroidery machine in an embodiment of the present invention is as follows: First, start the motor 6 to drive the overall rotation of the rotating column 4 and the loading plate 9. When the loading plate 9 rotates to the second arc-shaped groove 42, it can pull the entire moving frame 27 and the support plate 24 away from below the placement groove 44, opening the placement groove 44, so that the embroidered fabric material in the placement groove 44 can fall into the collection box 62, realizing the automatic blanking function. When the bottom right end of the first plug rod 39 slides in the communication groove 43 driven by the loading plate 9, it pushes the entire moving frame 27, the inner plate 30, and the support plate 24 to move away from the rotating column 4 on the loading plate 9. When the extrusion block 55 on the right side of the support plate 24 driven by the moving frame 27 moves to be limited by the limiting strip 34, the support plate 24 is located directly below the placement groove 44. As the moving frame 27 continues to move, it drives the support plate 24 to slide relatively on the cross bar 28, stretching the second spring 29. During this process, it drives one end of the first driving rod 36 to slide in the first driving groove 37 on the moving frame 27, thereby pushing the support plate 24 to move upward and insert into the placement groove 44. And during the upward movement of the support plate 24, it drives the inclined surface of the extrusion block 55 to squeeze the pushing block 59, so as to push the pressing plate 10 out in the storage groove 56 and insert it into the placement groove 44, stretching the third spring 58, so that the upper surface of the support plate 24 and the upper surface of the pressing plate 10 are on the same horizontal plane. At this time, place the fabric material to be embroidered on the support plate 24 and the pressing plate 10 in the placement groove 44. Then, the rotating column 4 continues to rotate, driving the bottom end of the first plug rod 39 to slide from the communication groove 43 to the first arc-shaped groove 41. During this process, the moving frame 27 continues to move, driving one end of the second driving rod 51 to slide in the second driving groove 52, pushing the second slider 50 to slide upward in the second sliding groove 49, and driving the two push-pull blocks 54 to move upward to both sides of the bottom block 48 through the L-shaped strip 53. In this way, as the moving frame 27 continues to move, through the pushing of one of the push-pull blocks 54 on the bottom block 48, it drives the second moving plate 46 to move in the first through groove 11. By using the sliding of one end of the second plug rod 47 on the second moving plate 46 in the spiral groove on the rotating rod 45, it can automatically drive the screw rod 12 to rotate. The first moving plate 13 moves away from the placement groove 44 on the rotating screw rod 12. The first moving plate 13 first drives one end of the cylindrical rod 20 to slide on the inclined surface of one end of the guiding strip 22 on the cross bar 21. Through the extrusion of the guiding strip 22 on one end of the cylindrical rod 20, it pushes the driving block 19 to drive the first slider 18 to move downward in the first sliding groove 16, squeezing the first spring 17 to compress, and driving the gear 23 and the rotating shaft 14 to rotate as a whole through the teeth on the driving block 19, so as to drive one end of the pressing strip 60 of the flipping plate 15 to press the fabric material in the middle of the support plate 24. As the first moving plate 13 continues to move, it can drive the two pressed pressing strips 60 to move to both sides on the fabric until the pressing strips 60 move to the pressing plate 10, thereby tightening the fabric in the placement groove 44. When the loading plate 9 rotates to below the support 61,The fabric is embroidered using an embroidery mechanism. After embroidery, the rotating column 4 continues to drive the feeding plate 9 to rotate. When the bottom end of the first insertion rod 39 driven by the feeding plate 9 slides into the third arc-shaped groove 63, it drives the moving frame 27 to continue moving away from the rotating column 4, causing one end of the cylindrical rod 20 to disengage from the guiding strip 22. The elastic force of the first spring 17 is used to push the driving block 19 downward to reset, so that the pressing strip 60 is lifted on the pressing plate 10 to separate the embroidered fabric. Finally, the rotating column 4 continues to rotate, driving the bottom end of the first insertion rod 39 to slide in another communication groove 43, driving the moving frame 27 to move back toward the rotating column 4 to reset, so that the support plate 24 and the pressing plate 10 are moved away in the placement groove 44, opening the placement groove 44, causing the embroidered fabric to automatically fall into the collection frame 62 for collection. During this process, the first moving plate 13 moves toward the placement groove 44 along the rotating screw rod 12. Under the guidance of the inclined surface at the other end of the guiding strip 22, the cylindrical rod 20 moves in the reverse direction while clinging to the lower surface of the guiding strip 22, so that the pressing strip 60 is in a state of loosening the fabric, and moves in the reverse direction. In this way, the next piece of fabric can be smoothly tightened, the operation is more labor-saving and convenient, and the work efficiency is higher.
