Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sewing machines, in particular to a presser foot driving mechanism of a sewing machine. Background Art

[0002] A sewing machine is a tool used to sew clothes and other textiles. Its working process is to push the cloth forward through the forward and backward movement of the cloth feeding mechanism, and the needle moves the seam thread up and down, cooperating with the shuttle to complete the thread hooking action, and then the thread take-up rod moves up and down to adjust the tightness of the seam thread, and the seam thread is tightened by the thread take-up device to form a stitch. Through these actions coordinated with each other, the continuous sewing function of the sewing machine is realized. Before the needle moves the seam thread up and down, the presser foot is needed to realize the function of pressing and positioning the cloth. The presser foot needs to be lifted once each section of stitch is completed. The common sewing machine completes this action by pushing the machine with human knees, and the pushing action needs to be maintained for a period of time until the adjustment of the cloth position is completed.

[0003] The existing presser foot driving mechanism of the sewing machine usually uses an independent motor-driven connecting rod mechanism to control the presser foot to move up and down, but the space occupied by the mechanism is large, which will increase the size of the sewing machine equipment, and the motor output shaft is locked to ensure that the presser foot does not move. For fabrics of different thicknesses, the height of the presser foot needs to be adjusted by program-controlled motors, which makes the equipment costly and has certain requirements on the professional quality of the user. Therefore, it is suitable for large-scale standardized production operations, but not suitable for household sewing machines. Utility Model Content
