Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sewing machines, in particular to a sewing machine thread trimming mechanism, a seam start-up and bird nest prevention thread trimming method using the sewing machine thread trimming mechanism, and a sewing machine equipped with the sewing machine thread trimming mechanism. Background Art

[0002] When starting a seam on a sewing machine, a certain length of thread is typically left on one side of the needle to prevent the upper thread from escaping the needle eye during the process. However, if this length of thread remains on the front of the sewing material, it must be manually trimmed after sewing, significantly reducing efficiency. If the thread is carried to the back of the sewing material, it can easily form a large bird's nest on the back of the sewing material. To address this, sewing machines are equipped with an anti-bird's nest thread trimming mechanism to trim the thread at the start of the seam to prevent the formation of bird's nests.

[0003] Chinese invention patent application number 201510349411.6 discloses a sewing machine bird's nest removal device. The device comprises a hook, a thread clamp, a needle, and a presser foot located below the machine head. The hook is connected to the machine head via a rotating shaft, and the presser foot has a thread slot corresponding to the needle, with a thread cutter at the bottom. The hook clamps the thread end on the needle side after thread trimming. The movement of the fabric transfers the clamped thread end to the presser foot, where it is cut near the needle hole in the sewing material, leaving a short remaining thread end and thus solving the problem of bird's nests. However, this sewing machine bird's nest removal device still has some problems: 1. A small amount of thread end remains on the front of the sewing material, affecting the appearance; 2. The presser foot is a custom-made component that cannot be applied to other sewing processes, resulting in high cost and poor versatility; 3. The hook's thread-holding stability is relatively low during actual operation, resulting in poor reliability of the bird's nest prevention device.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues with existing bird's nest removal devices in sewing machines, some machines are equipped with a movable knife thread trimming mechanism. This mechanism includes a movable knife that rotates beneath the needle plate, an independent thread trimming motor, and a thread trimming transmission assembly. The thread trimming motor is connected to the movable knife via the thread trimming transmission assembly. For example, a thread trimming mechanism is disclosed in Chinese invention patent application number 201811350563.8.

[0047] The present application provides a sewing machine thread trimming mechanism, a method for trimming seams to prevent bird nests using the sewing machine thread trimming mechanism, and a sewing machine equipped with the sewing machine thread trimming mechanism. The sewing machine is a flatbed sewing machine having a rotatable main shaft. For ease of description, in the following embodiments, the axial direction of the main shaft in the sewing machine is defined as the left-right direction, and the direction of the main shaft toward the sewing machine head is defined as the left direction; the horizontal direction perpendicular to the left-right direction is defined as the front-back direction, and the direction of movement of the sewing material when the sewing machine is sewing is defined as the front direction; and the vertical direction perpendicular to the left-right direction is defined as the up-down direction.

[0048] Usually, such as Figure 1As shown, the sewing machine includes a sewing machine case and a sewing machine base 90, both of which are fixedly arranged, a needle plate fixed to the sewing machine base 90, a main shaft rotatably supported in the sewing machine case, a lower shaft 110 rotatably supported in the sewing machine base 90, a main motor for driving the main shaft to rotate, a needle bar mechanism with a needle, a rotary hook, a tooth rack, a feed tooth fixed on the tooth rack, a tooth lifting mechanism, and a feeding mechanism. The main shaft and lower shaft 110 in the sewing machine both extend left and right, and are connected to each other via a pulley transmission assembly. The main motor is fixed to the right end surface of the sewing machine housing and connected to the right end of the main shaft. The left end of the main shaft is connected to the needle bar mechanism, driving the needle to move up and down. The rotary shuttle is fixed to the left end of the lower shaft 110 and is directly driven by the lower shaft 110 to rotate. The tooth lifting mechanism is connected to the rear end of the tooth frame and drives the tooth frame and feed dog to move up and down. The tooth lifting mechanism has a tooth lifting shaft that is rotatably supported in the sewing machine base 90 and extends left and right. The tooth lifting shaft extends left and right. The feed mechanism is connected to the front end of the tooth frame and drives the tooth frame and feed dog to move back and forth. The feed mechanism has a feed shaft that is rotatably supported in the sewing machine base 90 and extends left and right. Therefore, the sewing machine has at least the following rotatable shaft components: the main shaft, the lower shaft 110, the tooth lifting shaft, and the feed shaft. In addition, the power source of the tooth lifting mechanism and the power source of the feeding mechanism can both come from the main motor, and then the tooth lifting shaft and the feeding shaft are both connected to the main shaft transmission; of course, the power source of the tooth lifting mechanism and the power source of the feeding mechanism can also be driven by an additional independent motor.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the thread trimming mechanism of the sewing machine involved in the present application includes a first thread trimmer 10, a thread trimmer movable knife 20, a needle drop drive cam 31, a seam start thread trimmer cam 32, a thread trimmer cam crank 40, a first roller 51, a second roller 52, a thread trimmer transmission assembly 60, a first clutch drive source 71 and a second clutch drive source 72. Among them, the first thread trimmer 10 is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the lower shaft 110, and the first thread trimmer 10 is provided with a first blade 11. The thread trimmer movable knife 20 can be movably arranged on the outer peripheral side of the lower shaft 110 in the sewing machine, as shown in FIG. Figure 6As shown, the thread trimming movable knife 20 is provided with a stitch start and drop needle hole 21 that passes through from top to bottom, and a front thread trimming blade 22. The stitch start and drop needle hole 21 allows the needle to pass through. The movement of the thread trimming movable knife 20 can realize the movement of the stitch start and drop needle hole 21 to the position directly below the needle, and the movement of the front thread trimming blade 22 toward the first blade 11 until the two are engaged. The needle drop drive cam 31 and the stitch start and thread trimming cam 32 are both fixed on a rotatable shaft component in the sewing machine. The thread trimming cam crank 40 is rotatably and movably supported in the sewing machine base plate 90. The first roller 51 is rotatably mounted on the thread trimming cam crank 40. The first clutch drive source 71 is fixed to the sewing machine base plate 90 and acts on the thread trimming cam crank 40, pushing the thread trimming cam crank 40 to move in the left and right directions, so that the first roller 51 moves to the outer peripheral side of the needle drop drive cam 31, or moves away from the outer peripheral side of the needle drop drive cam 31. The second roller 52 is rotatably and movably mounted on the thread trimming cam crank 40. The second clutch drive source 72 is fixed to the thread trimming cam crank 40 and acts on the second roller 52, pushing the second roller 52 to move horizontally, thereby moving the second roller 52 to the outer periphery of the seam start thread trimming cam 32 or away from the outer periphery of the seam start thread trimming cam 32. The thread trimming cam crank 40 is in transmission connection with the thread trimming movable knife 20 via the thread trimming transmission assembly 60.

[0050] Furthermore, when the first clutch drive source 71 is not in operation, no power is transmitted between the first roller 51 and the needle drop drive cam 31 or the seam start and thread trimming cam 32; when the first clutch drive source 71 is in operation, it drives the first roller 51 to move to the outer peripheral side of the needle drop drive cam 31, and the first roller 51 can contact and cooperate with the needle drop drive cam 31. When the second clutch drive source 72 is not in operation, no power is transmitted between the second roller 52 and the needle drop drive cam 31 or the seam start and thread trimming cam 32; when the second clutch drive source 72 is in operation, it drives the second roller 52 to move to the outer peripheral side of the seam start and thread trimming cam 32, and the second roller 52 can contact and cooperate with the seam start and thread trimming cam 32.

[0051] The present application also provides a method for preventing bird nests from cutting when starting to sew, using the above-mentioned thread cutting mechanism of the sewing machine. The thread cutting mechanism of the sewing machine performs a waiting action before starting to sew. At this time, the first clutch driving source 71 remains in an inactive state, so that the first roller 51 and the needle drop driving cam 31 and the seam start thread cutting cam 32 have no power transmission; the second clutch driving source 72 remains in an inactive state, so that the second roller 52 and the needle drop driving cam 31 and the seam start thread cutting cam 32 have no power transmission; at this time, the first thread cutting knife 10 and the thread cutting movable knife 20 are both distributed on the front side of the needle, as shown in FIG. Figure 10 shown.

[0052] The seam-starting and bird-nest-preventing thread-cutting method involved in the present application comprises the following steps in sequence.

[0053] Step S1, before the sewing machine starts to sew the first stitch, or during the process of the needle moving down when the sewing machine starts to sew the first stitch, the sewing machine thread trimming mechanism performs the needle dropping action: the first clutch driving source 71 is actuated, and the second clutch driving source 72 is not actuated, the first clutch driving source 71 drives the thread trimming cam crank 40 to move in the left and right directions, so that the first roller 51 moves to the outer peripheral side of the needle dropping driving cam 31; as the first stitch is sewn, the shaft component of the sewing machine rotates, and the needle dropping driving cam 31 rotates along the shaft component on which it is located. The components rotate together. During this process, the needle drop driving cam 31 contacts and cooperates with the first roller 51. The needle drop driving cam 31 drives the thread trimming cam crank 40 to rotate through the first roller 51, and then drives the thread trimming movable knife 20 to move through the thread trimming transmission assembly 60. That is, the torque of the shaft component drives the thread trimming movable knife 20 to rotate backward through the needle drop driving cam 31, the first roller 51, the thread trimming cam crank 40 and the thread trimming transmission assembly 60 in sequence, so that the seam starting needle drop hole 21 is located directly below the needle. Figure 11 shown.

[0054] Step S2, the sewing machine moves down to start sewing the first needle, and the needle passes downward through the sewing start needle hole 21 on the thread trimming movable knife 20. Under the action of the rotary shuttle in the sewing machine, the upper thread end on one side of the needle is brought to the bottom of the thread trimming movable knife 20, that is, to the vicinity of the rotary shuttle.

[0055] Step S3, the sewing machine starts sewing and the first needle moves up. After the needle moves upward from the thread trimming movable knife 20, the first clutch drive source 71 is reset, and the thread trimming cam crank 40, the first roller 51 and the thread trimming movable knife 20 are reset respectively. The thread trimming movable knife 20 is reset to Figure 10 The standby state shown in the figure is as follows: during this process, the thread trimming knife 20 rotates forward to the front side of the needle, thereby extracting at least a portion of the upper thread end without interfering with the subsequent upward and downward movement of the needle. At this time, the first clutch drive source 71 is reset to the inactive state, and no power is transmitted to the first roller 51, the needle drop drive cam 31, and the seam start and thread trimming cam 32.

[0056] Step S4, the sewing machine starts sewing and sets the number of stitches N: the sewing machine starts sewing the second stitch, the third stitch, ..., until the Nth stitch.

[0057] 5. When the sewing machine starts sewing the Nth stitch, the thread trimming mechanism of the sewing machine performs the front thread trimming action: when the second clutch driving source 72 is in action and the first clutch driving source 71 is inactive, the second clutch driving source 72 drives the second roller 52 to move in the left and right directions, thereby driving the second roller 52 to move to the outer peripheral side of the thread trimming cam 32; as the Nth stitch is started, the thread trimming cam 32 rotates together with the shaft component on which it is located. During this process, the thread trimming cam 32 contacts and cooperates with the second roller 52, and the thread trimming cam 32 drives the thread trimming cam crank 40 to rotate through the second roller 52, and then drives the thread trimming movable knife 20 to move through the thread trimming transmission assembly 60, that is, the torque of the shaft component drives the thread trimming movable knife 20 to move through the thread trimming cam 32, the second roller 52, the thread trimming cam crank 40 and the thread trimming transmission assembly 60 in sequence, until the front thread trimming blade 22 engages with the first blade 11. Figure 12 As shown, the upper thread ends are cut off, thereby preventing the upper thread ends from being entangled and forming a bird's nest.

[0058] Step S6: The second clutch drive source 72 is reset, the thread trimming cam crank 40, the second roller 52 and the thread trimming movable knife 20 are reset, and the thread trimming movable knife 20 is reset to Figure 10 The waiting state is shown.

[0059] Therefore, the present application uses the first clutch drive source 71 to transmit power between the first roller 51 and the needle drop drive cam 31, so that the thread trimming movable knife 20 can extract a portion of the upper thread end to the needle plate bottom plate 90, and then pull the upper thread end to the back of the sewing material; and uses the second clutch drive source 72 to transmit power between the second roller 52 and the seam start thread trimming cam 32, so that the front thread trimming blade 22 and the first blade 11 can engage and cut the upper thread end, thereby effectively suppressing the formation of bird nests in the sewing material. In particular, the power for driving the thread trimming movable knife 20 in the present application is derived from the rotatable shaft component in the sewing machine, that is, from the existing power source in the sewing machine. There is no need to set up an additional motor to drive the thread trimming movable knife 20 to move, which meets the requirements of the thread trimming movable knife 20 moving at multiple positions required for reducing and preventing bird nests. At the same time, no additional power source is required, reducing the cost of the sewing machine. Therefore, the present invention can realize the anti-bird nest prevention of seams at low cost and reliably, and the thread ends are only on the back of the sewing material, ensuring that the stitches on the front of the sewing material are beautiful, and has strong versatility and can be applied to various sewing processes.

[0060] Furthermore, the first thread trimmer 10 is a fixed fixed knife fixed to the bottom surface of the sewing machine base plate 90. When the first clutch drive source 71 and the second clutch drive source 72 are not in operation, that is, when the sewing machine thread trimming mechanism is in a standby state, the first thread trimmer 10 and the movable thread trimmer 20 are located on the same side of the sewing machine needle, which is the front side.

[0061] Furthermore, the first clutch drive source 71 and the second clutch drive source 72 are preferably both electromagnets, and the cores of the respective electromagnets are both extended and retracted in the left-right direction. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first clutch drive source 71 is disposed on the right side of the thread trimmer cam crank 40. The thread trimmer cam crank 40 comprises a crank shaft 41 extending leftward and rightward, a crank body 42 fixed to the crank shaft 41, a first crank arm 43 integrally extending from the right end of the crank body 42, and a second crank arm 44 integrally extending from the left end of the crank body 42. The crank shaft 41 is rotatably and movably supported in an axial hole of the sewing machine base 90. The first roller 51 is mounted on the outer end of the first crank arm 43. The electromagnet core of the first clutch drive source 71 is axially aligned with the crank shaft 41 and is located on the right side of the crank shaft 41. When the first clutch drive source 71 is not in operation, it is in a power-off state. When the first clutch drive source 71 is energized and in operation, its electromagnet core extends leftward, driving the thread trimmer cam crank 40 to move leftward, causing the first roller 51 to move to the outer periphery of the needle drop drive cam 31. The second roller 52 is mounted on the right side of the outer end of the second crank arm 44 so as to be movable left and right. The second clutch drive source 72 is an electromagnet fixed to the left side of the second crank arm 44. The electromagnet core of the second clutch drive source 72 is arranged opposite the second roller 52 and is located on the left side of the second roller 52. When the second clutch drive source 72 is not in operation, it is in a power-off state. When the second clutch drive source 72 is powered on, its electromagnet core extends to the right, driving the second roller 52 to move rightward, so that the second roller 52 moves to the outer periphery of the seam start and thread trimmer cam 32.

[0062] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the thread trimming mechanism of the sewing machine involved in the present application also includes a second thread trimmer 80 disposed on the outer periphery of the lower shaft 110 of the sewing machine. The second thread trimmer 80 is also located behind the sewing machine needle. That is, the second thread trimmer 80 and the movable thread trimmer 20 are located on either side of the sewing machine needle in the front-to-back direction. The second thread trimmer 80 is provided with a second blade 81. The second thread trimmer 80 is used to cooperate with the movable thread trimmer 20 to perform post-thread trimming after sewing is completed. The second thread trimmer 80 can be a fixed fixed blade, in which case the sewing machine thread trimming mechanism has a single movable blade and two fixed blades; the second thread trimmer 80 can also be a movable movable blade, in which case the sewing machine thread trimming mechanism has a double movable blade and single fixed blade structure. In this embodiment, the second thread trimmer 80 is preferably a movable blade that can rotate about the lower shaft 110. Based on this, the thread trimming mechanism of the sewing machine also includes a rear thread trimming cam 33 and a stroke control electromagnet 73. The rear thread trimming cam 33 is fixed on a rotatable shaft component in the sewing machine. The rear thread trimming cam 33 is distributed on the left side of the needle drop drive cam 31. The second thread trimmer 80 is also connected to the thread trimming transmission assembly 60. The stroke control electromagnet 73 acts on the first clutch drive source 71. Figure 6As shown, the movable thread trimming knife 20 is further provided with a rear thread trimming blade 23, which is distributed in front of the front thread trimming blade 22, and the stitch starting and dropping holes 21 are distributed between the front thread trimming blade 22 and the rear thread trimming blade 23 in the front-to-back direction.

[0063] When the thread trimming mechanism of the sewing machine is in a waiting state, the stroke control electromagnet 73 and the first clutch drive source 71 are both powered off, and no power is transmitted between the first roller 51 and the rear thread trimming cam 33 and the needle drop drive cam 31. The second thread trimming knife 80 and the thread trimming movable knife 20 are distributed on both sides of the needle in the sewing machine. Figure 10 As shown. When the thread trimming mechanism of the sewing machine performs the needle drop action, the stroke control electromagnet 73 is powered off, but the first clutch drive source 71 is powered on. Only the first clutch drive source 71 drives the thread trimming cam crank 40 and the first roller 51 to move leftward by a distance of L1, so that the first roller 51 can transmit power to the needle drop drive cam 31. However, the first roller 51 and the rear thread trimming cam 33 are offset in the left and right directions and the two are disengaged. Therefore, there is still no power transmission between the first roller 51 and the rear thread trimming cam 33. The second thread trimming knife 80 and the thread trimming movable knife 20 are still distributed on both sides of the needle in the sewing machine, as shown. Figure 11 When the sewing machine thread trimming mechanism performs the front thread trimming action, the stroke control electromagnet 73 and the first clutch drive source 71 are both powered off, and no power is transmitted between the first roller 51 and the rear thread trimming cam 33 and the needle drop drive cam 31. When the thread trimming mechanism of the sewing machine performs the rear thread trimming action, the stroke control electromagnet 73 and the first clutch driving source 71 are energized, and the stroke control electromagnet 73 and the first clutch driving source 71 simultaneously drive the thread trimming cam crank 40 and the first roller 51 to move leftward, and the leftward movement distance is L2, L2 is greater than L1, so that the first roller 51 can transmit power to the rear thread trimming cam 33, but the first roller 51 and the needle drop driving cam 31 are staggered in the left and right directions and the two are disengaged, so that there is no power transmission between the first roller 51 and the needle drop driving cam 31; at this time, the rear thread trimming cam 33 drives the thread trimming cam crank 40 to rotate through the first roller 51, and then drives the thread trimming movable knife 20 and the second thread trimming knife 80 to move toward each other through the thread trimming transmission assembly 60, that is, the thread trimming movable knife 20 rotates backward, and the second thread trimming knife 80 rotates forward, so that the rear thread trimming blade 23 engages with the second blade 81, as shown in FIG. Figure 13 As shown, the upper thread is cut off, achieving the purpose of automatic thread trimming after sewing is completed.

[0064] Preferably, the connection structure between the stroke control electromagnet 73 and the first clutch drive source 71 is as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the sewing machine thread trimming mechanism further includes a fixed mounting plate 120 and a movable mounting plate 130. The fixed mounting plate 120 is secured to the bottom of the base plate 90 by several screws, and the stroke control electromagnet 73 is secured to the bottom of the fixed mounting plate 120. The movable mounting plate 130 is connected to the electromagnet core of the stroke control electromagnet 73, and the first clutch drive source 71 is secured to the movable mounting plate 130. When the stroke control electromagnet 73 is energized, its electromagnet core extends leftward, pulling the movable mounting plate 130 and the first clutch drive source 71 leftward. When the first clutch drive source 71 is energized, its electromagnet core also extends leftward. Therefore, the distance L1 by which the first roller 51 moves leftward when only the first clutch drive source 71 is energized is smaller than the distance L2 by which the first roller 51 moves leftward when both the stroke control electromagnet 73 and the first clutch drive source 71 are energized.

[0065] Furthermore, the structure of the thread cutting transmission assembly 60 is preferably as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the left end of the thread trimming cam crank 40 is integrally provided with a third crank arm 45, and the third crank arm 45 is circumferentially staggered with the second crank arm 44; the thread trimming transmission assembly 60 includes a thread trimming slider 61 rotatably mounted at the outer end of the third crank arm 45, a thread trimming shaft 62 extending left and right and rotatably supported in the sewing machine bottom plate 90, a thread trimming crank 63 fixed to the left end of the thread trimming shaft 62, a thread trimming connecting rod 64, a first tool holder 65 rotatably mounted on the outer periphery of the lower shaft 110 through a shaft sleeve, and a thread trimming connecting rod 64. The second tool holder 68 and the trimmer transmission pin 69 fixed to the second tool holder 68, the right end of the trimmer shaft 62 is integrally provided with a shaft arm 621, and the shaft arm 621 is provided with a first trimmer slide 622 that slides and contacts with the trimmer slider 61, the two ends of the trimmer connecting rod 64 are hinged to the trimmer crank 63 and the first tool holder 65 respectively, the trimmer movable knife 20 is fixed to the first tool holder 65, the trimmer crank 63 is provided with a second trimmer slide 631 that slides and contacts with the trimmer transmission pin 69, and the second trimmer knife 80 is fixed to the second tool holder 68.

[0066] Preferably, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the thread trimmer transmission assembly 60 also includes a first return torsion spring 66 and a second return torsion spring 67. The first return torsion spring 66 is sleeved on the thread trimmer shaft 62, and the two ends of the first return torsion spring 66 act on the thread trimmer crank 63 and the bottom plate 90 respectively. The sewing machine bottom plate 90 is provided with a support sleeve portion, and the second return torsion spring 67 is sleeved on the support sleeve portion. The two ends of the second return torsion spring 67 act on the thread trimmer cam crank 40 and the bottom plate 90 respectively. After the sewing machine thread trimmer mechanism performs the needle drop action, the spring force of the first return torsion spring 66 and the second return torsion spring 67 drives the thread trimmer crank 63 and the thread trimmer cam crank 40 to reset, thereby driving the various components in the thread trimmer transmission assembly 60 to reset.

[0067] Preferably, if Figure 4 As shown, a spring pin 610 is also fixed to the trimmer crank 63. This spring pin 610 comprises a pin housing fixed to the trimmer crank 63, a compression spring retained in the pin housing, and a positioning bead retractably mounted at the end of the pin housing facing the bottom surface of the base plate 90. The compression spring acts on the positioning bead. When the sewing machine's thread trimming mechanism is in a standby state, the positioning bead, under the action of the compression spring, abuts against the bottom surface of the base plate 90, reliably maintaining the active thread trimming blade 20 and the second thread trimming blade 80 in their respective stationary states.

[0068] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the thread trimming mechanism of the sewing machine also includes an anti-jamming knife cam 34, which is fixed to a rotatable shaft component in the sewing machine. When the stroke control electromagnet 73 is powered off and the first clutch drive source 71 and the second clutch drive source 72 are both powered off, the second roller 52 is distributed on the outer peripheral side of the anti-jamming knife cam 34 and can contact and cooperate with the anti-jamming knife cam 34. In this way, after the sewing machine thread trimming mechanism performs the post-thread trimming action, the thread trimming movable knife 20 and the second thread trimming knife 80 are stuck in the Figure 13 When the sewing machine sews the last stitch, the shaft component drives the anti-jamming knife cam 34 to rotate, and the anti-jamming knife cam 34 pushes the trimming cam crank 40 to reset through the second roller 52. The trimming cam crank 40 is pushed in the reverse direction to release the stuck state and then reset to Figure 10 status.

[0069] Furthermore, the present application realizes anti-bird nest thread trimming at the start of sewing and normal thread trimming after the end of sewing by setting a needle drop drive cam 31, a thread trimming cam 32 at the start of sewing, a rear thread trimming cam 33 and an anti-jamming knife cam 34 fixed on an existing rotating shaft component in the sewing machine. The needle drop drive cam 31, the rear thread trimming cam 33, the thread trimming cam 32 at the start of sewing and the anti-jamming knife cam 34 are arranged in sequence from right to left. The needle drop drive cam 31, the rear thread trimming cam 33, the thread trimming cam 32 at the start of sewing and the anti-jamming knife cam 34 can be fixed on the same shaft component or on different shaft components. The four cams of the needle drop drive cam 31, the rear thread trimming cam 33, the thread trimming cam 32 at the start of sewing and the anti-jamming knife cam 34 can be four independent cams or can be integrated into one thread trimming drive cam 30. In this embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,as well as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the needle drop drive cam 31, the seam start and thread trimming cam 32, the rear thread trimming cam 33 and the anti-jamming knife cam 34 are integrated into a thread trimming drive cam 30. The thread trimming drive cam 30 has four cam parts, which respectively constitute the needle drop drive cam 31, the rear thread trimming cam 33, the seam start and thread trimming cam 32 and the anti-jamming knife cam 34 from right to left. The thread trimming drive cam 30 is fixed and locked on the lower shaft 110 by screws. Of course, in other embodiments, the thread trimming drive cam 30 is fixed and locked on the tooth lifting shaft or the feed shaft by screws.

[0070] The present application improves the profile of the peripheral cam surface of the four cam parts on the thread trimming drive cam 30, and controls the feed amount of the thread trimming cam crank 40 through the three electromagnets of the stroke control electromagnet 73, the first clutch drive source 71 and the second clutch drive source 72, so that the first roller 51 and the second roller 52 cooperate with the different cam surfaces on the thread trimming drive cam 30, so that the thread trimming movable knife 20 and the second thread trimming knife 80 have multiple motion trajectories, especially the thread trimming movable knife 20 rotates to multiple different positions, meeting the requirements of the thread trimming movable knife 20 for multiple movement positions required for front thread trimming when starting to sew to prevent bird nests and rear thread trimming when sewing is completed, while also eliminating the need for an additional power source, reducing costs. In this embodiment, the rotation angle relationship between the thread trimming cam crank 40 and the thread trimming drive cam 30 in the cooperative state is as follows: Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 In the figure, curve P1 is the rotation angle relationship diagram between the thread trimming cam crank 40 and the needle drop driving cam 31, curve P2 is the rotation angle relationship diagram between the thread trimming cam crank 40 and the seam starting thread trimming cam 32, curve P3 is the rotation angle relationship diagram between the thread trimming cam crank 40 and the rear thread trimming cam 33, and curve P4 is the rotation angle relationship diagram between the thread trimming cam crank 40 and the anti-jamming knife cam 34.
