Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sewing machines, in particular to a sewing thread trimming control method. BACKGROUND

[0002] After each sewing operation, a sewing machine leaves a piece of thread on one side of the needle, which forms the starting thread for the next sewing operation. As a result, the starting thread on one side of the needle forms a bird's nest-like thread on the garment during the next sewing operation, affecting the quality of the entire garment. In order to ensure the quality of the garment, the starting thread must be manually trimmed, increasing the intensity of manual labor and affecting production efficiency.

[0003] To address the above problems, most sewing machines on the market are equipped with a thread trimming mechanism to trim the starting thread on one side of the needle during the starting operation and to trim the bottom thread and the face thread at the end of the sewing operation, achieving starting thread protection against bird's nests and automatic thread trimming after sewing, improving the automation level of the machine, better improving sewing efficiency, and ensuring the quality of the garment.

[0004] For example, a single-action knife anti-bird's nest thread trimming mechanism disclosed in Chinese patent application No. 202311289444.7 is provided with a fixed knife and a rotatable movable knife. The movable knife has different strokes during the starting operation and the end of the sewing operation, achieving trimming of the starting thread and trimming of the face thread and the bottom thread at the end of the sewing operation. However, the thread trimming mechanism is a single-action knife structure and cannot trim the thread directly below the needle. The thread trimming position of the fixed knife and the movable knife is on one side below the needle, i.e., the sewing thread from the needle plate has an angle, resulting in a longer length of the residual thread on the sewing material after trimming.

[0005] For example, the double-action knife line cutting mechanism disclosed in Chinese patent application No. 202411329869.0 is provided with two rotatable line cutting knives, namely line cutting knife one and line cutting knife two. When the line is cut during the start sewing and after the sewing, the line cutting knife one and the line cutting knife two can engage the line right below the needle, achieving the effect of cutting short line ends. The control method during the start sewing usually includes the following steps: first, the line cutting knife one is driven to capture the needle thread; then, the line cutting knife one is withdrawn to stay on one side of the needle, and the line cutting knife two is also withdrawn to stay on the same side of the needle, waiting for the sewing machine to complete the set number N of stitches; then, the line cutting knife one is first extended, and its blade is stopped right below the needle, and then the line cutting knife two is extended, and the two engage the line right below the needle; finally, the line cutting knife two and the line cutting knife one are withdrawn in sequence. However, after the set number N of stitches is completed, the line cutting knife one needs to stay at the position where its blade is right below the needle before it is rotated, which causes the motor driving the line cutting knife one to stop and start again. The motor needs a certain amount of time to stop and start again, resulting in a slow rotation speed of the line cutting knife one after the line is cut and a long time required for the rotation, which leads to the need to control the sewing machine to slow down during this process, thereby reducing the downward speed of the needle when the N+1th stitch is sewn. Otherwise, the needle may be broken and the line cutting knife one may be damaged when the needle moves downward too fast and the line cutting knife one does not fully retract during the sewing of the N+1th stitch.

[0065] S2, the sewing machine lowers the first needle, as shown in Figure 7a , the needle 150 passes through the thread hooking groove 22 with the thread, and under the action of the rotating hook 110, the thread head on one side of the needle 150 is driven to the position below the main knife 20; the thread head on one side of the needle 150 is a section of thread formed on one side of the needle 150 after the last sewing is finished.

[0066] S3, the sewing machine raises the first needle, after the needle 150 moves upward from the main knife 20, the control system 10 controls the main knife driving source 40 to act reversely, drives the main knife 20 to rotate backward in the second direction clockwise, the second direction is opposite to the first direction, the main knife 20 retreats to the back side of the needle 150, but the main blade edge 21 and the auxiliary blade edge 31 are not engaged; this process makes a part of the thread head be pulled out upward, but the thread head still remains in the thread hooking groove 22, and the part of the thread head pulled out upward is on the upper surface of the main knife 20, as shown in Figure 7b .

[0067] S4, the sewing machine continues to sew until the set number of stitches is reached, such as 2 stitches, or 3 stitches, or other number of stitches, so that the thread and the bobbin thread are interlaced with each other to form stitches on the sewing material; during this process, the main blade edge 21 and the auxiliary blade edge 31 always remain in the state of not engaging as in step S3, so that the thread head is not cut off.

[0068] S5, after the set number of stitches is reached, the control system 10 controls the main knife driving source 40 to act, drives the main knife 20 to rotate forward in the first direction counterclockwise, in particular, the forward rotation of the main knife 20 makes the main blade edge 21 on it pass through the position directly below the needle 150 in the first direction, that is, the main blade edge 21 is distributed on the front side of the needle 150; then the control system 10 controls the main knife driving source 40 to act reversely, drives the main knife 20 to rotate backward in the second direction clockwise, and drives the main blade edge 21 to rotate backward to the position directly below the needle 150; at the same time, the control system 10 controls the auxiliary knife driving source 50 to act, drives the auxiliary knife 30 to rotate forward in the first direction counterclockwise, and drives the auxiliary blade edge 31 to rotate forward to the position directly below the needle 150; in this way, as shown in Figure 7cAs shown, the main blade edge 21 and the auxiliary blade edge 31 are engaged and cut the thread end at the position right below the needle 150. Alternatively, when the main blade edge 21 passes the position right below the needle 150, the main blade edge 21 is rotated backward to a position right behind the needle 150 but adjacent to the position right below the needle 150 by the backward rotation of the main blade cutter 20 controlled by the control system 10; meanwhile, the auxiliary blade edge 31 is rotated forward to a position right behind the needle 150 but adjacent to the position right below the needle 150 by the forward rotation of the auxiliary blade cutter 30 controlled by the control system 10; thus, the main blade edge 21 and the auxiliary blade edge 31 are engaged and cut the thread end at the position right behind the needle 150 but adjacent to the position right below the needle 150.

[0069] S6, the control system 10 controls the main blade cutter driving source 40 and the auxiliary blade cutter driving source 50 to rotate backward in the second direction, the main blade cutter driving source 40 drives the main blade cutter 20 to rotate backward in the second direction to retreat to the outer periphery of the needle 150, and the main blade cutter 20 retreats to its initial position; the auxiliary blade cutter driving source 50 drives the auxiliary blade cutter 30 to rotate backward in the second direction to retreat to the outer periphery of the needle 150, and the auxiliary blade cutter 30 retreats to its initial position. Thus, there is no physical part of the main blade cutter 20 and the auxiliary blade cutter 30 distributed right below the needle 150, and the main blade cutter 20 and the auxiliary blade cutter 30 will not interfere with the up-and-down movement of the needle 150, and the subsequent sewing machine can sew normally.

[0070] Obviously, firstly, this application automatically cuts off the starting thread when sewing, preventing bird's nests from forming on the fabric and improving sewing quality. Secondly, by cutting the starting thread directly below or near the needle 150, the remaining thread on the fabric is very short, reliably achieving the effect of cutting short thread ends and avoiding subsequent manual trimming of residual thread on the fabric. In particular, when cutting the thread at the start of the stitch to prevent bird nests, this application controls the main thread cutter 20 and the auxiliary thread cutter 30 to rotate counterclockwise forward toward the needle 150 in the first direction to cut the starting thread captured by the main thread cutter 20 at a position directly below or adjacent to the needle 150. First, the main thread cutter 20 is controlled to rotate counterclockwise forward in the first direction until its main blade edge 21 passes directly below or adjacent to the needle 150. Then, immediately, the main thread cutter 20 is controlled to rotate clockwise backward in the second direction until its main blade edge 21 is positioned at or adjacent to the needle 150. The thread cutter 20 is positioned directly below the needle 150, completing the initial stitch cutting. Afterward, the main thread cutter 20 continues to rotate clockwise in the second direction to return to its original position. This avoids the main thread cutter 20 remaining in a certain position, keeping the main blade edge 21 directly below the needle 150. This shortens the time required for the main thread cutter drive source 40 to drive the main thread cutter 20 to rotate forward and then backward to return to its initial position to cut the starting thread. This achieves rapid reset of the main thread cutter 20 after the initial stitch cutting, reducing the impact on the sewing machine's starting speed and enabling the initial stitch cutting to be completed at the normal sewing speed of the sewing machine. Therefore, this application can achieve the effect of cutting short thread ends to prevent bird nests during the start-up stitching process, without significantly affecting the start-up speed of the sewing machine. It can reliably complete the start-up stitching to prevent bird nests during the high-speed start-up stitching process, and avoid the needle 150 from hitting the main thread cutter 20 during the start-up stitching to prevent bird nests. This effectively prevents defects such as broken needles and damaged blades, and improves the start-up stitching experience and sewing quality.

[0071] Furthermore, the automatic thread trimming control method after sewing includes the following steps.

[0072] A1. After the last stitch is sewn, the needle 150 moves upward from the sewing machine needle plate, the control system 10 controls the main thread-cutting drive source 40 to operate, driving the main thread-cutting blade 20 to rotate counterclockwise forward in the first direction, such as... Figure 8 As shown, when the tip 23 of the main thread cutter 20 is inserted into the top thread loop, the left half of the top thread loop and the bottom thread slide along the bottom thread sliding surface 26 into the thread splitting groove 24, and the right half of the top thread loop slides along the top thread sliding surface 27 into the top thread splitting groove 25.

[0073] A2, the control system 10 controls the main knife line driving source 40 to act reversely, drives the main knife line cutter 20 to rotate back in the second direction clockwise, makes the main knife edge 21 rotate back to the position right below the needle 150; at the same time, the control system 10 controls the auxiliary knife line driving source 50 to act, drives the auxiliary knife line cutter 30 to rotate forward in the first direction counterclockwise, makes the auxiliary knife edge 31 rotate forward to the position right below the needle 150; thus, as shown in Figure 9a , the main knife edge 21 and the auxiliary knife edge 31 are engaged and cut the thread end of the needle 150. Alternatively, the control system 10 controls the main knife line driving source 40 to act reversely, drives the main knife line cutter 20 to rotate back in the second direction clockwise, makes the main knife edge 21 rotate back to the position right below the needle 150; at the same time, the control system 10 controls the auxiliary knife line driving source 50 to act, makes the auxiliary knife edge 31 rotate forward to the position right below the needle 150; thus, as shown in Figure 9b , the main knife edge 21 and the auxiliary knife edge 31 are engaged and cut the thread end of the needle 150.

[0074] A3, the control system 10 controls the main knife line driving source 40 to continue to act reversely, continues to drive the main knife line cutter 20 to rotate back in the second direction clockwise to the outer periphery side of the needle 150 until the main knife line cutter 20 rotates back to its initial position; at the same time, the control system 10 controls the auxiliary knife line driving source 50 to act reversely, drives the auxiliary knife line cutter 30 to rotate back in the second direction clockwise to the outer periphery side of the needle 150 until the auxiliary knife line cutter 30 rotates back to its initial position. Finally, the main knife line cutter 20 and the auxiliary knife line cutter 30 are reset to the initial positions as shown in Figure 11 .

[0075] Further, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, Embodiment 1 of the dual-action wire cutting mechanism further includes a main blade wire cutting transmission assembly connected between the main blade wire cutting drive source 40 and the main wire cutting blade 20. The main blade wire cutting drive source 40 is a motor, preferably a stepper motor. The main blade thread-cutting drive assembly includes a first thread-cutting crank 61, a first thread-cutting connecting rod 62, a first thread-cutting shaft 63 rotatably supported in the sewing machine base plate 120 and extending laterally, a second thread-cutting crank 64 and a third thread-cutting crank 65 both fixed to the first thread-cutting shaft 63, a second thread-cutting connecting rod 66, and a main blade holder 67 rotatably mounted in the sewing machine base plate 120. The first thread-cutting crank 61 is fixed to the motor shaft of the main blade thread-cutting drive source 40 and is driven to rotate by the main blade thread-cutting drive source 40. The two ends of the first thread-cutting connecting rod 62 are hinged to the first thread-cutting crank 61 and the second thread-cutting crank 64, respectively. The two ends of the second thread-cutting connecting rod 66 are hinged to the third thread-cutting crank 65 and the main blade holder 67, respectively. Thus, the main blade thread-cutting drive source 40 drives the main thread-cutting blade 20 to rotate counterclockwise forward and clockwise backward through the main blade thread-cutting drive assembly.

[0076] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, Embodiment 1 of the double-acting thread-cutting mechanism further includes an auxiliary thread-cutting transmission assembly connected between the auxiliary thread-cutting drive source 50 and the auxiliary thread-cutting blade 30. The auxiliary thread-cutting drive source 50 is a motor, preferably a stepper motor. The auxiliary thread-cutting transmission assembly includes a fourth thread-cutting crank 71, a third thread-cutting connecting rod 72, a second thread-cutting shaft 73 rotatably supported in the sewing machine base plate 120 and extending laterally, a fifth thread-cutting crank 74 and a sixth thread-cutting crank 75 both fixed on the second thread-cutting shaft 73, a fourth thread-cutting connecting rod 76, and an auxiliary blade holder 77 rotatably mounted in the sewing machine base plate 120. The fourth thread-cutting crank 71 is connected to and driven to rotate by the auxiliary thread-cutting drive source 50. The two ends of the third thread-cutting connecting rod 72 are hinged to the fourth thread-cutting crank 71 and the fifth thread-cutting crank 74, respectively. The two ends of the fourth thread-cutting connecting rod 76 are hinged to the sixth thread-cutting crank 75 and the auxiliary blade holder 77, respectively. Thus, the auxiliary wire cutting drive source 50 drives the auxiliary wire cutting blade 30 to rotate counterclockwise forward and clockwise backward through the auxiliary wire cutting transmission assembly.

[0077] Furthermore, the main thread cutter 20 is located on the outer periphery of the rotary hook 110, and the auxiliary thread cutter 30 is located on the outer periphery of the main thread cutter 20; thus, the upper surface of the main thread cutter 20 is its outer surface, facing away from the rotary hook 110 and towards the auxiliary thread cutter 30; the lower surface of the main thread cutter 20 is its inner surface, facing towards the rotary hook 110 and away from the auxiliary thread cutter 30. Figure 5As shown, the outer surface of the main thread cutter 20 is also provided with a post-sewing thread-cutting receiving part 28 and a starting-sewing thread-cutting receiving part 29. The post-sewing thread-cutting receiving part 28 is connected between the main blade edge 21 and the parting thread hook groove 24, and the starting-sewing thread-cutting receiving part 29 is connected between the main blade edge 21 and the starting-sewing thread hook groove 22. Both the post-sewing thread-cutting receiving part 28 and the starting-sewing thread-cutting receiving part 29 are recessed structures on the outer surface of the blade body. When cutting the thread at the start of the sewing, the starting thread end led out from the starting-sewing thread hook groove 22 is received in the starting-sewing thread-cutting receiving part 29 and cut at the main blade edge 21. When cutting the thread at the end of sewing, the left half of the top thread and the bottom thread led out from the parting thread hook groove 24 are received in the post-sewing thread-cutting receiving part 28 and cut at the main blade edge 21. In addition, the bottom thread sliding surface 26 extends at an angle as it moves further away from the blade tip 23 and further away from the top thread sliding surface 27, while the top thread sliding surface 27 extends at an angle as it moves further away from the blade tip 23 and further away from the bottom thread sliding surface 26. That is, the bottom thread sliding surface 26 extends at an angle to the left rearward, and the top thread sliding surface 27 extends at an angle to the right rearward, which allows for better thread separation after sewing is completed.

[0078] Furthermore, in step S4, which involves cutting the thread at the start of the stitch to prevent bird nests, the sewing machine is in a small stitch pitch sewing mode, shortening the distance the fabric is moved forward during this process, thus shortening the length of the thread remaining on the fabric after the starting thread is cut. Of course, in other embodiments, in step S4, which involves cutting the thread at the start of the stitch to prevent bird nests, the sewing machine can also be in a regular sewing mode. In addition, in step S5, which involves cutting the thread at the start of the stitch to prevent bird nests, and in step A2, which involves automatic thread cutting after sewing, when the control system 10 detects that the feed dog in the sewing machine is rising, the control system 10 sends a command to the auxiliary thread cutting drive source 50 to drive the auxiliary thread cutting blade 30 to rotate forward in the first direction, thereby avoiding collision between the auxiliary thread cutting blade 30 and the feed dog.

[0079] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 16 As shown, the first embodiment of the double-acting thread-cutting mechanism also includes a fixedly installed suction pipe 80 and a suction device connected to the suction pipe 80. The suction pipe 80 and the auxiliary thread-cutting blade 30 are both located behind the needle 150. The suction pipe 80 is aligned with the outer surface of the main thread-cutting blade 20. The suction device is communicatively connected to the control system 10. In step S5, which involves cutting the thread at the start of the stitch to prevent bird nests from falling, the control system 10 controls the suction device to create a negative pressure at the opening of the suction pipe 80. Simultaneously, when the main blade 21 rotates counterclockwise in the first direction and passes directly below the needle 150, the starting thread end is continuously pulled upwards from the starting thread hook groove 22 until the end of the starting thread end is completely pulled upwards from the starting thread hook groove 22. Under the action of the suction pipe 80, the end of the starting thread end is sucked into the suction pipe 80, as... Figure 7cAs shown, the suction of the suction pipe 80 keeps the stitcher thread straight, and more stably realizes the stitcher thread cutting anti-bird nest effect of the short stitcher thread.

[0080] Further, as shown in Figure 2 Embodiment 1 of the double-action knife thread cutting mechanism also includes a fixedly arranged thread pressing plate 90, which cooperates with the main thread cutting knife 20 to press the thread from the lower side of the main thread cutting knife 20. Based on this, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7b The thread pressing plate 90 includes a plate fixing part 92 and a plate main body part 93 integrally bent and extended from the plate fixing part 92. The rear end of the plate fixing part 92 is fixed to the bottom of the sewing machine bottom plate 120 by a screw, and the thread pressing plate 90 is fixed to the bottom of the sewing machine bottom plate 120. The plate main body part 93 is distributed on the lower side of the main thread cutting knife 20 facing the hook 110. The plate thread pressing part 91 integrally extends to the left from the left edge of the plate main body part 93 along the axis of the hook 110, and is distributed on the inner side of the main thread cutting knife 20. At the same time, the plate thread pressing part 91 is also distributed on the left side of the plate main body part 93. The inner surface of the main thread cutting knife 20 is provided with a knife thread pressing part, which is part of the smooth inner surface of the main thread cutting knife 20 and does not protrude downward. In step S3 involved in the stitcher thread cutting anti-bird nest thread cutting, after the main thread cutting knife 20 is driven by the main thread cutting knife driving source 40 to rotate back in the second direction clockwise, although the main thread cutting knife 20 and the auxiliary thread cutting knife 30 are not engaged, a thread clamping seam is formed between the plate thread pressing part 91 of the thread pressing plate 90 and the knife thread pressing part of the main thread cutting knife 20. The stitcher thread is clamped in the thread clamping seam, avoiding accidental disengagement of the stitcher thread during the process of setting the number of stitches.

[0081] In addition, as shown in Figure 6 The thread pressing plate 90 of Embodiment 1 of the double-action knife thread cutting mechanism is also provided with a thread blocking part 94, which is integrally provided at the front end of the plate main body part 93, and the plate main body part 93 is distributed on the inner side of the main thread cutting knife 20. In step S6 involved in the stitcher thread cutting anti-bird nest thread cutting, after the stitcher thread is cut, the main thread cutting knife 20 is driven by the main thread cutting knife driving source 40 to reset in the second direction, and as shown in Figures 11 to 13As shown, the thread distribution grooves 25 are distributed on the upper side of the thread blocking part 94 and are blocked by the thread blocking part 94; in the subsequent normal sewing process, the stopping position of the main thread cutter 20 is such that the thread distribution grooves 25 thereon are just distributed on the upper side of the thread blocking part 94 and are blocked by the thread blocking part 94, at this time, the thread guard plate 90 plays a role of preventing thread hanging: the thread blocking part 94 on the thread guard plate 90 blocks the bottom of the thread distribution grooves 25 of the main thread cutter 20 and blocks the thread distribution grooves 25 from below, so that the thread loop of normal sewing is blocked outside the thread distribution grooves 25 and the thread loop of normal sewing is prevented from entering the thread distribution grooves 25, thus eliminating the phenomenon of thread loop hanging in the thread distribution grooves 25 in the normal sewing process, so that the thread does not break due to thread hanging and the cloth does not shrink due to thread hanging, effectively improving the sewing performance.

[0082] The difference between the second embodiment of the double-action knife thread cutting mechanism and the first embodiment of the double-action knife thread cutting mechanism is that in the second embodiment of the double-action knife thread cutting mechanism, the thread guard plate 90 cooperates with the main thread cutter 20 to press the thread from the upper side of the main thread cutter 20. Based on this, as shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the thread guard plate 90 in the second embodiment of the double-action knife thread cutting mechanism only has the plate thread pressing part 91 and does not have the function of preventing thread hanging during normal sewing; the plate thread pressing part 91 is distributed on the outer side of the main thread cutter 20 and is arranged at the front end of the thread guard plate 90; the outer surface of the main thread cutter 20 is provided with a cutter thread pressing part protruding outward (i.e. upward) towards the plate thread pressing part 91.

[0083] In summary, taking the first embodiment of the double-action knife thread cutting mechanism as an example, the working principle thereof when starting sewing to prevent bird nest thread cutting is as follows.

[0084] Firstly, after the last sewing is finished and before the sewing machine starts sewing again, the needle 150 is located above the needle plate, and the control system 10 can control the main cutter thread driving source 40 to act again, so that the starting thread hooking groove 22 on the main thread cutter 20 is already rotated forward to the position directly below the needle 150 before the first needle of the sewing machine starts sewing, as shown in Figure 7a Alternatively, after the last sewing is finished and before the sewing machine starts sewing again, the main thread cutter 20 always stays on the rear side of the needle 150; when starting sewing, in the process of the first needle of the sewing machine moving downward, the control system 10 controls the main cutter thread driving source 40 to act, so that the starting thread hooking groove 22 on the main thread cutter 20 is rotated forward to the position directly below the needle 150, as shown in Figure 7a In this way, when the sewing machine starts sewing the first needle, the needle 150 passes through the starting thread hooking groove 22 with the thread downward.

[0085] Second, when the needle 150 is going up, the main thread cutter 20 rotates backward with the thread end of the needle to the suction pipe 80 until the tip of the main thread cutter 20 goes beyond the position directly below the needle 150; at this time, as shown in Fig. 6, the end of the thread end of the needle is clamped between the plate thread pressing part 91 of the thread pressing plate 90 and the thread pressing part of the main thread cutter 20 on the lower side of the main thread cutter 20, the thread end of the needle is accommodated in the thread end accommodating part 29 on the upper side of the main thread cutter 20, and the main blade edge 21 and the auxiliary blade edge 31 are not engaged. Figure 7b

[0086] Third, the sewing machine continues to sew the set number of stitches in the small stitch length sewing mode. Then, during the process of the needle 150 going up and the feed dog going up, the control system 10 controls the main thread cutter driving source 40 to act, first drives the main thread cutter 20 to rotate counterclockwise forward until the main blade edge 21 on the main thread cutter 20 goes beyond the position directly below the needle 150, during which the control system 10 controls the suction device to act, so that the suction pipe 80 has the thread suction action, and with the counterclockwise forward rotation of the main thread cutter 20, the end of the thread end of the needle clamped between the plate thread pressing part 91 of the thread pressing plate 90 and the thread pressing part of the main thread cutter 20 is released, and the end of the thread end of the needle is sucked into the suction pipe 80, as shown in Fig. 7, so that the thread end of the needle to the end of the thread end of the needle is in a straightened state. Figure 7c

[0087] Fourth, then, the control system 10 controls the main thread cutter driving source 40 to reverse act and controls the auxiliary thread cutter driving source 50 to act, drives the main thread cutter 20 to rotate backward and the auxiliary thread cutter 30 to rotate forward, the main blade edge 21 and the auxiliary blade edge 31 engage and cut the thread end of the needle at the position directly below the needle 150 or near the position directly below the needle 150, so that the thread end of the needle after the thread end cutting is in the shortest state.

[0088] Fifth, finally, the control system 10 controls the main thread cutter driving source 40 to continue to reverse act and controls the auxiliary thread cutter driving source 50 to reverse act, the main thread cutter 20 and the auxiliary thread cutter 30 are respectively reset to the initial positions as shown in Fig. 1. Figure 11

[0089] During the thread end cutting, the above control is realized, the main thread cutter 20 is driven to rotate forward in advance, the pressed thread end of the needle is quickly released, and the suction pipe 80 straightens and stretches the thread end of the needle; after the thread end cutting, the main thread cutter 20 can quickly move away from the center of the needle 150, so that the needle 150 is prevented from quickly moving downward to the main blade edge 21 and the tip of the main thread cutter 20 to cause the needle breakage and damage to the main thread cutter 20.

[0090] ​​​After that, the sewing machine is normal sewing. In the process of normal sewing, the main thread cutter 20 and the auxiliary thread cutter 30 are distributed on the back side of the needle 150, and the thread blocking part 94 on the presser foot 90 blocks the bottom of the thread separation groove 25 of the main thread cutter 20, so that the bottom of the thread separation groove 25 is closed, the thread loop of the normal sewing is blocked from entering the thread separation groove 25, and the phenomenon of thread hanging is greatly reduced.

[0091] After the sewing is finished, the working principle of the automatic thread cutting after sewing of the double-action cutter thread cutting mechanism embodiment one is as follows.

[0092] Firstly, the control system 10 controls the main cutter thread cutting driving source 40 to act, drives the main thread cutter 20 to rotate forward in the first direction counterclockwise, so that the thread separation hook groove 24 and the thread separation groove 25 are all distributed below the needle 150, or all pass through the position below the needle 150, so that the thread and the bottom thread are hung in the thread separation hook groove 24 and the thread separation groove 25, as shown in the figure. Figure 8 The control system 10 controls the reverse action of the main cutter thread cutting driving source 40 and the action of the auxiliary cutter thread cutting driving source 50, drives the main thread cutter 20 to rotate back, and drives the auxiliary thread cutter 30 to rotate forward, so that the main cutter blade edge 21 and the auxiliary cutter blade edge 31 are engaged and cut off the thread end at the position below or adjacent to the needle 150, so that the thread end of the thread after the sewing is cut off is in the shortest state. In Figure 9a the figure, the thread end is the shortest when the thread is cut off below the needle 150; but in Figure 9b the figure, the thread is cut off on the back side next to the needle 150, which can ensure that the length of the bottom thread is better and the stability of the thread cutting is better.

[0093] Secondly, after the thread and the bottom thread are cut off, the control system 10 controls the main cutter thread cutting driving source 40 to continue to act reversely, and controls the auxiliary cutter thread cutting driving source 50 to act reversely, so that the main thread cutter 20 rotates back to the position where the thread separation groove 25 is away from the thread blocking part 94 of the presser foot 90 by a certain distance X, as shown in the figure. Figure 10 Then, the main thread cutter 20 forms an opening between the thread separation groove 25 and the thread blocking part 94 of the presser foot 90, so that the thread on one side of the needle 150 can pass through the opening smoothly after the thread is cut off, and the thread will not be blocked when the sewing material is taken out. After the sewing material is taken out, the main thread cutter 20 is reset completely, as shown in the figure. Figure 11

[0094] As described above, the present application effectively overcomes the shortcomings in the prior art and has high industrial utilization value.

[0095] ​The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles of the present application and its efficacy, and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modification or change made by any person skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application shall be covered by the claims of the present application.
