The thread cutting drive shaft 31 extends in the horizontal direction and moves in a straight line in the horizontal direction. The scissor assembly 35 includes a fixed knife 351 and a movable knife 352 that cooperates with the fixed knife to cut the thread. A thread cutting connecting rod assembly 32 is provided between the thread cutting driving shaft 31 and the movable knife 352, and each scissor assembly 35 is provided with a thread cutting connecting rod assembly 32.

[0004] As the number of heads increases and the head spacing decreases, the space between two adjacent shuttle box assemblies is extremely limited. If an intermediate connector is provided, the setting of the thread trimming connecting rod assembly closest to the intermediate connector will be limited by space, affecting the further reduction of the head spacing. [Utility Model Content]

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an embroidery machine bottom thread cutting device and an embroidery machine, which can further reduce the distance between machine heads without affecting the thread cutting function.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] Firstly, a thread cutting device for an embroidery machine is provided, which is arranged on the front side of a shuttle box body. The thread cutting device for the embroidery machine comprises a thread cutting drive shaft, a thread cutting connecting rod assembly and a scissors assembly. The thread cutting drive shaft extends in a transverse direction and moves in a transverse straight line. A plurality of scissors assemblies are arranged side by side in a transverse direction. The scissors assembly comprises a fixed knife and a movable knife cooperating with the fixed knife to cut the thread. A mounting beam is extended forward from the shuttle box body for mounting the scissors assembly. In at least one pair of adjacent scissors assemblies, two movable knives are respectively connected to a gear, and the two gears are meshed with the same rack. One of the gears is connected to a gear driving shaft, which extends vertically and has its lower end connected to the thread cutting drive shaft through a thread cutting connecting rod assembly. The other gear is provided with a gear shaft and rotates around the gear shaft.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom thread cutting device of the embroidery machine is further provided with a moving knife gear seat, the gear driving shaft is rotatably supported on the moving knife gear seat, and the rack slides linearly along the moving knife gear seat.

[0009] Preferably, a laterally extending rack guide groove is provided on the movable knife gear seat, and a rack guide block is provided on the bottom surface of the rack, and the rack guide groove cooperates with the rack guide block to guide the rack to slide linearly along the movable knife gear seat.

[0010] Preferably, a rack pressing block is provided above the rack, and a rack movable space is formed between the rack and the movable knife gear seat.

[0011] Preferably, a rack pressing block is provided on each of the two lateral sides of the rack.

[0012] Preferably, a moving knife lower support seat is provided under the moving knife gear seat, and the gear drive shaft is rotatably supported on the moving knife lower support seat; and / or, the moving knife gear seat is provided with a cantilever beam, the gear drive shaft is rotatably supported on the cantilever beam, and a corresponding fixed knife is fixed on the cantilever beam.

[0013] Preferably, the gear is a sector tooth; and / or, one end of the movable knife is fixed to the gear, and the other end is provided with a concave surface cooperating with the fixed knife, and a knife edge is provided on one side of the concave surface.

[0014] Preferably, the wire trimmer link assembly includes a wire trimmer link seat, a first wire trimmer link, and a second wire trimmer link.

[0015] On the other hand, the utility model also provides an embroidery machine, including a plurality of shuttle box assemblies arranged side by side in a transverse direction, the shuttle box assembly is provided with a shuttle box body and a rotary shuttle assembly, and also includes the bottom thread cutting device.

[0016] Preferably, the embroidery machine is a double-needle embroidery machine.

[0017] The utility model adopts the above-mentioned technical solution. Two adjacent scissor assemblies are arranged near one side of the intermediate connecting member. The corresponding two moving knives are each connected to a gear. The two gears are meshed with the same rack. One of the gears is connected to a gear drive shaft. The gear drive shaft is connected to the thread-cutting connecting rod assembly. The other gear rotates around the gear shaft. The corresponding moving knife does not need to be connected to the thread-cutting connecting rod assembly. Therefore, only one thread-cutting connecting rod assembly is needed to drive a corresponding moving knife. The gear of the moving knife is meshed with the rack. During the thread-cutting process, the rack is driven to move linearly, thereby driving the other gear to rotate synchronously. Then, the corresponding other moving knife performs the thread-cutting action synchronously. In this way, a scissor assembly arranged near one side of the intermediate connecting member does not need to be provided with a thread-cutting connecting rod assembly and a gear drive shaft. Even if the head spacing is reduced, it will not interfere with the intermediate connecting member, and will not affect the normal thread-cutting function.

[0018] These features and advantages of the present invention will be disclosed in detail in the following specific implementation manners and drawings.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0041] The following describes the drive balance structure and the bottom thread cutting device using a double-needle embroidery machine as an example.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 10The double-needle embroidery machine shown is provided with a double-needle machine head, which includes a double-needle machine housing 100 and a needle bar frame arranged at the front side of the double-needle machine housing, and the double-needle machine housing is laterally penetrated with a machine head spindle. For the double-needle embroidery machine, the needle bar frame is provided with two needle bars and two presser feet (it can also be more, but only two needle bars and two presser feet work at a time, and only two needle bars and two presser feet are provided in this embodiment), and the double-needle machine housing 100 is provided with a machine head driving structure 1 and two guide shafts 101 parallel to the two needle bars, that is, one guide shaft 101 is provided corresponding to each needle bar, and the two guide shafts 101 are arranged side by side laterally.

[0043] The machine head driving structure 1 includes a driving cam assembly 11 installed on the machine head main shaft, and the driving cam assembly 11 is connected to a three-eye connecting rod assembly 12. The structure of the driving cam assembly 11 refers to the prior art, which is usually called a cam four-piece set or simply a four-piece set, and is provided with a cam connecting rod 111. Two needle bar drivers 13 and two presser foot drivers 15 are correspondingly provided on the two guide shafts, that is, a needle bar driver 13 and a presser foot driver 15 are correspondingly provided on each guide shaft 101, and the two needle bar drivers 13 drive two needle bars correspondingly, and the lateral sides of the three-eye connecting rod assembly 12 are correspondingly connected to the two needle bar drivers 13, and the lateral sides of the three-eye connecting rod assembly 12 are correspondingly provided with two presser foot auxiliary connecting rod assemblies 14, and the two needle bar drivers 13 are correspondingly connected to the two presser foot auxiliary connecting rod assemblies 14, and the two presser foot auxiliary connecting rod assemblies 14 are correspondingly connected to the two presser feet.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the head of the three-eye connecting rod assembly 12 is provided with a double-headed pin shaft 123 extending laterally, and the needle bar driver 13 is hinged with a needle bar driving connecting rod 131, and the two shaft heads of the double-headed pin shaft are correspondingly hinged with the two needle bar driving connecting rods 131. The tail of the three-eye connecting rod assembly 12 is hinged with a first-eye pin shaft 121, and a pin shaft seat 102 is provided on the rear side wall of the double needle housing, and a movable groove is provided in the middle of the pin shaft seat. The first-eye pin shaft 121 passes through the movable groove laterally, and the two ends are rotatably supported on the pin shaft seat 102. The middle of the three-eye connecting rod assembly 12 is hinged with a second-eye pin shaft 122, which is hinged with the cam connecting rod 111.

[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the presser foot auxiliary connecting rod assembly 14 is provided with a first presser foot connecting rod 141, a second presser foot connecting rod 142, and a third presser foot connecting rod 143. The tail end of the first presser foot connecting rod is hinged to the double needle housing 100, and the head end is hinged to the tail end of the third presser foot connecting rod. The tail end of the second presser foot connecting rod is hinged to the middle part of the first presser foot connecting rod, and the head end is hinged to the needle bar driver 13. The head end of the third presser foot connecting rod is hinged to the presser foot driver 15. The presser foot driver 15 is correspondingly provided with a presser foot driving pin 151 hinged to the head end of the third presser foot connecting rod. In this way, when the needle bar driver 13 moves up and down along the guide shaft 101, the presser foot driver 15 is also driven by the needle bar driver 13 to move up and down along the guide shaft 101. It can be understood that according to the time requirements of the needle bar and presser foot actions, the time requirements between the actions of the needle bar driver 13 and the presser foot driver 15 can be met through the design of the presser foot auxiliary connecting rod assembly 14.

[0046] Further, the presser foot auxiliary connecting rod assembly 14 is also provided with a presser foot connecting rod seat 144 fixed to the double needle housing, and the tail end of the first presser foot connecting rod is hinged to the presser foot connecting rod seat 144. The presser foot connecting rod seat 144 can be fixed to the rear side wall of the double needle housing by screws.

[0047] In the above technical solution, two needle bar drivers correspondingly drive two needle bars, and at the same time, two presser foot auxiliary connecting rod assemblies are used to correspondingly drive two presser foot movements. On the one hand, there is no need to set up an additional independent presser foot driving structure; on the other hand, the structure is not complicated, and the two presser foot drivers correspondingly move on two existing guide shafts, and the structure of the two added presser foot auxiliary connecting rod assemblies is also relatively mature, thus reducing the cost and ensuring the reliability of the presser foot.

[0048] According to the above records, the double-needle embroidery machine drives two needle bars and two presser feet to move through the driving cam assembly 11, and the driving cam assembly 11 is driven to rotate by the machine head main shaft. Since the driving cam assembly 11 is an eccentric structure (the meaning of eccentricity here is: in the main structure of the driving cam assembly, the driving cam is eccentric, and the center of gravity of the driving cam assembly also deviates from the machine head main shaft), it has a large moment of inertia during rotation, which not only causes the machine head main shaft and needle bar to vibrate more, but also causes the entire machine head to vibrate more through conduction, and even resonance occurs. Not only does it greatly affect the embroidery accuracy of the embroidery machine, but it also generates a lot of noise.

[0049] To solve this problem, Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a driving balance structure 2 is also provided on the machine head, and the driving balance structure 2 is provided with a balance cam assembly 23 installed on the machine head main shaft, a two-eye connecting rod 21 and a balance block 22. The balance cam assembly 23 is provided with a balance cam and a balance large connecting rod 232 connected to the balance cam, the first end of the two-eye connecting rod is hinged to the side wall of the double-needle machine housing through a first-eye balance pin 211, the middle section of the two-eye connecting rod is hinged to the balance large connecting rod 232 through a second-eye balance pin 212, and the second end of the two-eye connecting rod is connected to the balance block 22. Among them, the eccentric direction of the balance cam assembly 23 and the driving cam assembly 11 is set in the opposite direction in the radial direction of the machine head main shaft, but it is not limited to be 180 degrees apart in the circumferential direction. Similar to the driving cam assembly 11, in the main structure of the balancing cam assembly 23, the balancing cam is eccentric, which also causes the center of gravity of the balancing cam assembly to deviate from the main axis of the machine head. That is, from the axial projection of the machine head driving structure, the center of gravity of the balancing cam assembly 23 and the driving cam assembly 11 (that is, the center of gravity of the balancing cam and the driving cam) are set in opposite directions in the radial direction of the main axis of the machine head, but are not limited to being in the same radial direction.

[0050] When the entire driving balance structure 2 follows the main shaft of the machine head together with the driving cam assembly 11, on the one hand, the eccentric direction of the balance cam assembly 23 is always opposite to that of the driving cam assembly 11, so that a part of the inertia force can be offset during the rotation process; on the other hand, a part of the inertia force is also balanced and offset by the balance block 22. In addition, the eccentric weights of the driving cam assembly 11 and the balance block 22 can be determined by experiments, so that the mutual inertia can be basically offset to achieve balance.

[0051] Therefore, vibration can be reduced, and resonance is basically eliminated, the operation is more stable, which is beneficial to improving the embroidery accuracy of the double-needle embroidery machine and reducing noise.

[0052] like Fig. 9 In the state shown, the eccentric direction of the driving cam assembly 11 (i.e., the center of gravity of the driving cam) is on the radial upper side of the main shaft of the machine head, and the eccentric direction of the balancing cam assembly 23 (the center of gravity of the balancing cam) is on the radial lower side of the main shaft of the machine head. Correspondingly, the inertia force of the driving cam assembly 11 is upward, and the inertia force of the balancing cam assembly 23 is downward.

[0053] Because the balancing cam assembly 23 mainly offsets most of the inertial force, it is understandable that if the remaining inertial force is small after the balancing cam assembly 23 offsets a part of the inertial force, the balancing block may not be provided. Fig.10 As shown, when the balancing block is not provided, the two-eye connecting rod and the balancing cam assembly can be combined.

[0054] The first eye balancing pin 211 and the second eye balancing pin 212 are connected to the two eye connecting rods through rolling bearings. Of course, other rotating connection parts in this embodiment can also use rolling bearings.

[0055] In order to install the balancing weight, the first end of the balancing weight 22 is provided with a mounting notch 221, and the mounting notch is matched with the second end of the two-eye connecting rod 21, so that the balancing weight and the second end of the two-eye connecting rod are combined into one, and together play the role of the balancing weight. In addition, the depth L2 of the mounting notch 221 is less than the thickness L1 of the second end of the two-eye connecting rod. A threaded hole is provided on the side of the second end of the two-eye connecting rod, and a fixing hole 223 is provided at the mounting notch, and a fastening screw 224 passes through the fixing hole and is connected to the threaded hole. Of course, the balancing weight can be replaced as needed to better play a balancing role, and the above-mentioned detachable structure between the balancing weight and the two-eye connecting rod is also conducive to choosing whether to install the balancing weight as needed.

[0056] Further, the second end of the balancing block 22 is provided with a counterweight 222, and the volume and weight of the counterweight can be appropriately increased. The second end of the two-eye connecting rod is provided with a fan-shaped portion 213, thereby increasing a certain volume and also having the function of a balancing block.

[0057] In order to install the balancing cam assembly on the machine head spindle, a clamp sleeve 231 is provided at one end of the balancing cam, and the clamp sleeve 231 is clamped and fixed on the machine head spindle by a clamping ring 24.

[0058] It can be understood that the above-mentioned limitations on the names of the connecting rods such as the two-eye connecting rod, the three-eye connecting rod, the first presser foot connecting rod, the second presser foot connecting rod, the third presser foot connecting rod, etc. are only for distinguishing different connecting rods, rather than limiting the specific structure of the connecting rods.

[0059] It can be understood that the above-mentioned driving balance structure can be applied not only to double-needle embroidery machines, but also to other types of embroidery machines, such as single-needle embroidery machines, because they are also provided with a driving cam assembly.

[0060] In addition, referring to the structure of a double-needle embroidery machine in the prior art, a frame is provided, a plurality of machine heads are mounted on the crossbeam of the frame, and an embroidery frame is provided under the machine heads. In addition, a plurality of shuttle box assemblies 300 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, and the shuttle box assembly is provided with a shuttle box body and a rotary shuttle assembly 301, and a bottom thread cutting device 3 is provided on the front side of the shuttle box body for cutting the bottom thread. The bottom thread cutting device 3 is provided with a scissors assembly 35, and a mounting beam 302 extends forward from the shuttle box body for mounting the scissors assembly. The number of shuttle box assemblies 300 does not necessarily correspond to the number of machine heads, but the number of rotary shuttle assemblies and scissors assemblies is twice the number of machine heads, that is, corresponding to the number of needles. Fig.11 As shown in the example, one shuttle box assembly corresponds to two machine heads, and is provided with four rotary hook assemblies and four scissor assemblies.

[0061] In the prior art, the thread cutting device comprises a plurality of scissor assemblies arranged side by side in the horizontal direction. In addition, the device further comprises a thread cutting drive shaft 31 arranged on the front side of the shuttle box body, the thread cutting drive shaft 31 extending in the horizontal direction and moving in a straight line in the horizontal direction. The scissor assembly 35 comprises a fixed knife 351 and a movable knife 352 cooperating with the fixed knife to cut the thread. The fixed knife 351 is fixed on the front side of the shuttle box body. The fixed knife can be arranged on a fixed knife seat 354 and mounted on a mounting beam 302. The movable knife 352 is connected to the mounting beam through a knife shaft. A thread cutting connecting rod assembly 32 is arranged between the thread cutting drive shaft 31 and the movable knife 352. One thread cutting connecting rod assembly 32 is arranged correspondingly for each scissor assembly 35. In this way, one thread cutting drive shaft can drive all scissor assemblies correspondingly through a plurality of thread cutting connecting rod assemblies.

[0062] The embroidery frame has a large area and needs to be translated in the X and Y directions. The embroidery frame includes a front part arranged at the front side of the shuttle box, a rear part arranged at the rear side of the shuttle box body, and a plurality of intermediate connectors connecting the front part and the rear part, wherein the intermediate connector passes through the gap between two adjacent shuttle box components. Of course, not all gaps between two adjacent shuttle box components pass through the intermediate connector.

[0063] As the number of heads increases and the head spacing decreases, the space between two adjacent shuttle box assemblies is extremely limited. If an intermediate connector is provided, the setting of the thread trimming connecting rod assembly closest to the intermediate connector will be limited by space, affecting the further reduction of the head spacing.

[0064] In order to further reduce the distance between the machine heads without affecting the thread trimming function. Figure 12 to Figure 14 As shown, in at least one pair of adjacent scissor assemblies (i.e., adjacent scissor assemblies arranged near one side of the intermediate connecting member), the corresponding two movable knives 352 are each connected to a gear 353, and the two gears are meshed with the same rack 36, one of the gears 353 is connected to a gear drive shaft 3531, the gear drive shaft 3531 extends vertically and the lower end is connected to the wire-cutting connecting rod assembly 32, and the other gear rotates around the gear shaft, and the corresponding movable knife does not need to be connected to the wire-cutting connecting rod assembly 32. Only one wire-cutting connecting rod assembly 32 is needed to drive a corresponding movable knife, and the gear of the movable knife is meshed with the rack 36, and the rack is driven to move linearly during the wire-cutting process, thereby driving the other gear to rotate synchronously, and the corresponding other movable knife performs the wire-cutting action synchronously. In this way, a scissor assembly arranged near one side of the intermediate connecting member does not need to be provided with a wire-cutting connecting rod assembly and a gear drive shaft, and even if the head spacing is reduced, it will not interfere with the intermediate connecting member, and will not affect the normal wire-cutting function.

[0065] One end of the movable knife 352 is fixed to the gear 353, and the other end is provided with a concave surface that cooperates with the fixed knife 351. The side of the concave surface is provided with a cutting edge, so that the moving knife edge and the fixed knife edge can overlap and stagger when cutting the thread, thereby cutting the bottom thread.

[0066] Furthermore, the bottom thread cutting device 3 is also provided with a movable knife gear seat 33, the gear drive shaft 3531 is rotatably supported on the movable knife gear seat 33, and a rolling bearing can be provided. The rack is provided on the movable knife gear seat, and the movable knife gear seat supports the movable knife drive shaft and the rack. The movable knife gear seat 33 is provided with a rack guide groove 331 extending laterally, and the bottom surface of the rack is provided with a rack guide block, and the rack guide block cooperates with the rack guide groove to guide the rack to move linearly.

[0067] Furthermore, a rack pressing block 37 is provided above the rack 36. Specifically, a rack pressing block 37 is provided on each of the lateral sides of the rack. One end of the rack pressing block is fixed to the movable cutter gear seat by a screw, and a groove 371 is provided on the bottom surface of the other end. A rack activity space is formed between the groove 371 and the movable cutter gear seat. When the rack moves, it moves through the rack activity space between the groove and the movable cutter gear seat.

[0068] Furthermore, a moving knife lower support seat 34 is provided below the moving knife gear seat 33, and the gear drive shaft is rotatably supported on the moving knife lower support seat 34, and a rolling bearing 341 can be provided correspondingly. The upper and lower parts of the gear drive shaft are rotatably supported on the moving knife gear seat 33 and the moving knife lower support seat 34, respectively, to ensure the rotation accuracy of the gear.

[0069] Furthermore, the movable knife gear seat 33 is provided with a cantilever beam 332, the gear driving shaft 3531 is rotatably supported on the cantilever beam, and a corresponding fixed knife can be fixed on the cantilever beam.

[0070] Since the stroke of the moving knife is not very large, the gear can adopt sector teeth to reduce costs. Of course, it is also possible to adopt a complete gear.

[0071] The structure of the wire trimmer link assembly is the same as that of the prior art.
