Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of zipper manufacturing, and particularly relates to a sewing device applicable to discontinuous stitches.

[0002] Priority Statement

[0003] This application claims the priority of a Chinese patent application with an application date of May 15, 2024, an application number of 2024210591064, and a title of "Chain tape with discontinuous stitches and a stitching device for manufacturing the same", the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference. Background Art

[0004] In the upstream and downstream industrial ecosystems of zippers, zipper manufacturers produce chain tapes dozens of meters or more than a hundred meters long and supply them to downstream application manufacturers, such as luggage factories and garment factories. Taking a luggage factory as an example, the manufacturer cuts a chain tape segment of a corresponding length according to the circumferential side length of the zipper required for the luggage, and sews the two cloth tapes of the chain tape segment without teeth on both sides of the luggage.

[0005] For aesthetic considerations, before the chain tape segment is fixed to the luggage, other structures (such as extension cloth tapes) at the ends of the chain tape segment need to be removed, leaving a section of pure fabric to seal the edge of the installed zipper end.

[0006] When producing chain tapes, existing sewing machines can only work continuously, that is, one or more than two stitches are continuously sewn along the length direction of the entire chain tape. Luggage manufacturers need to remove the extension cloth tapes at both ends of the cut chain tape segments. The prior art is to manually cut the stitches outside the corresponding extension cloth tapes and then cut the corresponding extension cloth tapes, which is time-consuming and laborious, extremely inconvenient to operate, and reduces the production efficiency of application manufacturers.

[0032] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0033] A sewing device applicable to non - continuous sewing threads in this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 5 shown, includes a sewing thread mechanism 1 and a towing mechanism 2. The sewing thread mechanism 1 includes a supporting table 11, and the towing mechanism 2 is used to continuously drag the material to be sewn through the supporting table 11.

[0034] A sewing needle assembly 12 is provided above the support platform 11, which includes a needle seat 121, two groups of needle bodies 122 placed vertically, and a sewing power member (located inside and not shown) for driving the needle seat 121 to move up and down. The two groups of needle bodies 122 are fixed to the needle seat 121 and aligned horizontally side by side to correspond to the stitching tracks on both sides of the material to be sewn. A thread hook assembly 13 is provided below the support platform 11, which includes two thread hooking bodies 131 corresponding to the two groups of needle bodies 122 and a thread hooking driving member for driving the thread hooking bodies 131 to move; when working, the two groups of needle bodies 122 pass through the needle holes of the support platform 11 and cooperate with the two thread hooking bodies 131 one by one to sew and fix the sewing materials passing through. The stitching of the needle body 122 and the thread hooking body 131 is a prior art. The line hooking driving member includes a line hooking seat 132, a connecting rod 133 and two rotating rods 134. The two rotating rods 134 are arranged in parallel and rotatably mounted on the line hooking seat 132 via bearings. The two line hooking bodies 131 are fixed in parallel to the two rotating rods 134. The two ends of the connecting rod 133 are respectively hinged to the two line hooking bodies 131 so that the two line hooking bodies 131 can swing back and forth synchronously. The line hooking driving member also includes a power shaft 135 rotatably mounted on the line hooking seat 132. A transmission pair is provided between the power shaft 135 and the two rotating rods 134. The transmission pair includes a gear set 136 fixed to the ends of the rotating rods 134 and the power shaft 135 and meshing with each other. The power shaft 136 is connected to the motor on the periphery to drive the power shaft 136 to rotate back and forth clockwise and counterclockwise at a preset rotation angle, so as to simultaneously drive the two rotating rods 134 to rotate back and forth clockwise and counterclockwise (swing) within a preset angle range. The power shaft 135 and the gear set 136 of the rotating rod 134 are both located on the same side of the thread hooking seat 132 , and the thread hooking seat 132 is provided with a protective cover 137 covering the gear set 136 .

[0035] The sewing equipment also includes an electric control module 3 electrically connected to the sewing power component and the thread hooking drive component to control the cyclic switching between the sewing state and the rest state. In the sewing state, the segments of the sewn material flowing through the supporting platform 11 are sewn and fixed to each other, and in the rest state, the sewing is stopped and the segments of the sewn material flowing through the supporting platform 11 are separated from each other without sewing.

[0036] In this embodiment, in the rest state, although the needle body 122 stops sewing, the sewn material still pulls the wire to continue moving forward. In order to avoid bending and breaking the needle body 122, the device also includes a needle protection mechanism 4, which includes a needle protection block 41 and a needle protection drive 42. The needle protection drive 42 is electrically connected to the electronic control module 3. In the rest state, the needle protection drive 42 drives the needle protection block 41 to resist the sides of the two groups of needle bodies 122, and the resisting direction is opposite to the towing direction, so as to prevent the needle body 122 from being bent, deformed or even broken. The needle protection drive 42 can drive the needle protection block 41 to move horizontally, so that the needle protection block 41 is away from the needle body 122 or close to resist the sides of the two groups of needle bodies 122. Of course, in practice, two groups of needle protection mechanisms 4 can be set to protect the two groups of needle bodies 122 separately.

[0037] In this embodiment, the towing mechanism 2 includes a first towing module 21 and a second towing module 22 both capable of towing the material to be sewn to move. The first towing module 21 and the second towing module 22 are both electrically connected to the electric control module 3 to select the first towing module 21 and / or the second towing module 22 to tow. Specifically, the first towing module 21 is used to tow in the sewing thread state, and the second towing module 22 is used to tow in the rest state. The towing speed of the second towing module 22 is less than that of the first towing module 21 to avoid bending the needle body 122 or breaking the wire.

[0038] Specifically, the first towing module 21 and the second towing module 22 respectively include an upper roller 23, a lower roller 24 and a towing driving member 25. The upper roller 23 and the lower roller 24 are arranged side by side up and down, and there is a gap therebetween for the base fabric belt and the expanded fabric belt to pass through. The towing driving member 25 is electrically connected to the electric control module 3 to drive the lower roller 24 to rotate so that the upper roller 23 and the lower roller 24 jointly clamp the material to be sewn to move; the height of the upper roller 23 is adjustable to realize the adjustability of the gap between the upper roller 23 and the lower roller 24 to move away from each other to release the towing of the material to be sewn.

[0039] Specifically, the upper roller 23 is longitudinally elastically floatingly arranged to elastically press on the top surface of the material to be sewn; the lower roller 24 is provided with a relief groove 241 around the circumference for the chain teeth of the material to be sewn to be embedded and pass through, playing a role of guiding and relieving. The number of the relief grooves 241 is two for two chain teeth to be embedded side by side. Specifically, the second towing module further includes a support seat 26, a floating seat 27, a transition seat 28, a spring 29 and a lifting mechanism 210. The floating seat 27 is slidably mounted on the support seat 26 longitudinally, the lower roller 24 is rotatably mounted on the floating seat 27, the transition seat 28 is longitudinally movably mounted on the floating seat 27, both ends of the spring 29 respectively abut against the floating seat 27 and the transition seat 28, and the lifting mechanism 210 can drive the floating seat 27 to move downward to press the spring 29 to drive the floating seat 27 to move downward, and then drive the lower roller 24 to cooperate with the upper roller 23. The lifting mechanism 210 drives the floating seat 27 to move upward, and can drive the transition seat 28, the floating seat 27 and the lower roller 24 to move upward.

[0040] In this embodiment, the control of the sewing thread mechanism 1, the towing mechanism 2, the needle protection driving member 42 and the towing driving member 25 by the electric control module 3 is that software engineers program the electric control module 3 to realize the start-stop, speed, direction and other controls of each mechanism by constructing computer function modules.

[0041] The needle protection driving member 42 and the lifting mechanism 210 are linear drives, and can adopt the existing technologies such as cylinders, linear motors, screw-nut transmission pairs, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0042] The material to be sewn can be an expanded cloth tape. A fixing expanded cloth tape is sewn between two base cloth tapes. Specifically, reference can be made to a zipper cloth tape supporting a hidden connection area disclosed in Chinese Patent Document with Publication No. CN220824035U, or a double-row telescopic perimeter zipper that can be quickly sewn and used disclosed in Chinese Patent Document with Publication No. CN215014105U. During operation, the two flattened base cloth tapes and the expanded cloth tape continuously pass through the supporting table 11 synchronously. Specifically, the two base cloth tapes are arranged horizontally and separated, and the expanded cloth tape is flattened and partially laminated on the top surface / bottom surface of the two base cloth tapes, so that the two side edges of the expanded cloth tape are located in the middle of the two base cloth tapes. The material to be sewn can also be a cloth tape and teeth. Two parallel teeth are sewn on the cloth tape at the same time.
