Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of overlocking, in particular to a fabric auxiliary straightening structure of an overlocking machine. Background Art

[0002] Overlocking, also known as lock edge, is a term in the clothing industry. It refers to using an overlocking machine to overlock the edge of the fabric so that the silk threads at the cut part of the fabric are not easy to unravel, and at the same time it has the effect of beautifying the cut part of the fabric.

[0003] The overlock machine in the related technology is provided with a feed table, and the overlock machine is also provided with a feed shaft and a feed dog. The feed shaft and the feed dog are connected by a feed crank transmission. The feed shaft is rotated to drive the feed dog to swing back and forth through the feed crank. The feed dog is located directly below the needle bar of the overlock machine. When overlocking, the fabric is first laid on the feed table, and the cut edge of the fabric is placed under the needle bar. The overlock machine is started, and the needle bar and feed shaft of the overlock machine move. While the needle bar overlocks the fabric, the feed dog pushes the fabric to move in a straight line, and the cut edge of the fabric is overlocked through the cooperation between the needle bar and the feed dog.

[0004] This process requires manual straightening of the sides of the garments, and workers are required to maintain consistency in the straightening force during the feeding process. However, in the actual production process, inconsistent proficiency often leads to inconsistent straightening force and uneven hemming. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above technical deficiencies, the utility model provides a fabric auxiliary straightening structure for an overlocking machine, which can stably straighten the fabric and ensure the uniformity of the overlocking.

[0006] The utility model discloses an auxiliary fabric straightening structure for an overlock sewing machine, which comprises a frame. A feeding table is arranged on the frame, and an overlock sewing machine is arranged on the feeding table. A slide rail is arranged on the feeding table on the feeding side of the overlock sewing machine. One end of the slide rail is in contact with the overlock sewing machine, and the slide rail is parallel to the feeding direction. A first slider is slidably arranged on the slide rail. A second slider is arranged directly above the first slider. A plurality of guide holes are vertically arranged on the second slider. Guide posts are arranged at the positions corresponding to the guide holes on the upper end face of the first slider. The guide posts pass through the guide holes. A fixed seat is arranged at the upper end of the guide posts. A spring is sleeved on the guide posts between the fixed seat and the second slider. The upper end of the spring is fixed to the fixed seat, and the lower end of the spring is fixed to the second slider. An electromagnet is arranged on the upper end face of the second slider. It should be noted here that both the first slider and the second slider are made of ferromagnetic materials, and the slide rail is made of non-ferromagnetic materials. A first clip is horizontally arranged at the upper end of one side of the first slider, and a second clip is horizontally arranged at the lower end of the second slider on the same side. A first jack is arranged on the upper side of the end of the slide rail far from the overlock sewing machine. A positioning rod is inserted into the first jack, and a fixed pulley is arranged at the edge of the feeding table at this end. A traction rope is arranged at the end of the first slider close to the fixed pulley. The traction rope bypasses the fixed pulley and then hangs down, and a counterweight is arranged at the hanging end. The electromagnet is connected to a controller.

[0007] When in use, one end of the fabric is fed into the overlock sewing machine, and then the other end of the fabric is placed between the first clip and the second clip. The controller is used to control the electromagnet to be energized, so that the first slider and the second slider attract each other, thereby clamping the fabric by the first clip and the second clip. During the process of the overlock sewing machine overlocking the edge of the fabric, the counterweight pulls the first slider to straighten the fabric. And because the gravity of the counterweight remains unchanged, the straightening force applied to the fabric is good in consistency.

[0008] In order to facilitate the timely release of the fabric by the first clip and the second clip when the overlocking of the fabric is completed, a limit switch is arranged on the upper side of the end of the slide rail close to the overlock sewing machine. The limit switch is electrically connected to the controller. When the first slider contacts the limit switch, the controller controls the electromagnet to be powered off according to the electrical signal of the limit switch, so as to release the fabric in time.

[0009] In order to facilitate the control of the clamping of the fabric by the first clip and the second clip, an installation hole is arranged on the first clip, and a button facing upward is installed on the installation hole. The button is electrically connected to the controller. When the fabric is placed between the first clip and the second clip, the fabric is pressed downward on the button, and the controller controls the electromagnet to be energized according to the electrical signal of the button, so that the first clip and the second clip clamp the fabric.

[0010] In order to facilitate the clamping of fabrics of different lengths, a plurality of second jacks are arranged at intervals along the length direction on the upper end face of the slide rail. The position of the first slider is limited by inserting the positioning rod into different second jacks, so as to clamp fabrics of different lengths.

[0011] An auxiliary fabric straightening structure for an overlock sewing machine obtained by the present utility model has the beneficial effects that the fabric is first clamped by the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece, and during the process of overlocking the edge of the fabric by the overlock sewing machine, the first sliding block is pulled by the counterweight to straighten the fabric. Since the gravity of the counterweight remains unchanged, the straightening force applied to the fabric is good in consistency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
