[0040] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the specification of this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used in the specification of this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the relevant listed items.

[0041] Reference Attachment Figure 1 To the attached Figure 4 As shown, the present application provides a safety reset device for a looper frame of a multi-needle machine, comprising a sewing table assembly 200, a looper frame 300 and a protective member 400.

[0042] The sewing platform assembly 200 is installed on the housing 100 of the multi-needle machine, and the sewing platform assembly 200 includes a fixed sewing platform 210 and a front sewing platform 220 that is movably matched with the fixed sewing platform 210. The front sewing platform 220 has a sewing position close to the fixed sewing platform 210 and a maintenance position of the open looper frame 300.

[0043] The looper frame 300 is used to install the looper 310 and is located in the housing 100. The looper frame 300 has a first position in the working state and a second position turned outward after the front sewing platform 220 is opened.

[0044] The protective member 400 is linked to the looper frame 300. When the looper frame 300 is in the second position, the protective member 400 interferes with the reset of the front sewing platform 220, that is, prevents the front sewing platform 220 from entering the sewing position.

[0045] The technical solution disclosed in this application ensures that the sewing equipment cannot return to the normal sewing state before the looper frame 300 is reset, through the linkage between the protective member 400 and the looper frame 300 and the interference between the protective member 400 and the front sewing platform 220, thereby ensuring production safety and improving production efficiency. The front sewing platform 220 is a component that needs to be operated during the normal maintenance process of the looper frame 300. Therefore, the provision of the protective member 400 in this application also has the advantages of low operator training costs and easy promotion.

[0046] For the specific configuration of the front seam platform 220, see the attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the front seam platform 220 is rotatably engaged with the fixed seam platform 210 via a pivot 230. A limiting buckle 211 is provided on the side edge of the fixed seam platform 210 near the front seam platform 220, and a positioning piece (not shown) for engaging with the limiting buckle 211 is provided on the front seam platform 220. The positioning piece and the limiting buckle 211 cooperate with each other to limit the relative position of the front seam platform 220 and the fixed seam platform 210. The positioning piece is located at the end of the front seam platform 220 away from the pivot 230, and the pivot 230 and the positioning piece are respectively located on both sides of the looper frame 300. The front seam platform 220 includes a sewing surface 221 flush with the fixed seam platform 210 and a protective surface 222 perpendicular to the sewing surface 221. In one embodiment, the front seam platform 220 and the fixed seam platform 210 cooperate with each other and enclose and wrap the looper frame 300 to prevent the looper frame 300 and nearby components from being exposed to the outside world during the sewing process.

[0047] The mutual interference between the protective element 400 and the front seam platform 220 can be realized based on electrical control. For example, in one embodiment, the protective element 400 detects the current position of the bending needle frame 300, and outputs an interference signal when the bending needle frame 300 is in the second position to prompt or limit the front seam platform 220 to reset. In this embodiment, the protective element 400 can be a sensor for detecting the current position of the bending needle frame 300, and controlling other actuators to achieve interference with the front seam platform 220. The specific control process can be implemented in combination with existing technologies. Or refer to the attached Figure 2 To the attached Figure 6 As shown, the protective member 400 directly interacts with the front seam platform 220 in terms of mechanical structure. The protective member 400 is fixed to the looper frame 300 or is in driving connection with the looper frame 300. Figure 3 In the embodiment, when the looper frame 300 is in the first position under the working state, the protective member 400 avoids the front sewing platform 220 to realize the switching of the front sewing platform 220 between different positions. Correspondingly, when the looper frame 300 is in the second position, at least a portion of the protective member 400 is higher than the front sewing platform 220 to prevent the front sewing platform 220 from resetting. Figure 6 The portion where the protective member 400 interacts with the front seam platform 220 is away from the pivot 230 to provide a greater interference moment and improve stability.

[0048] For the specific structure of the protective member 400, refer to the attached Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the protective member 400 is rod-shaped. One end of the protective member 400 is a linkage end 410 that is swingably mounted to the looper frame 300, and the other end is a working end 420 that interferes with the front sewing platform 220. In this embodiment, the looper frame 300 is provided with a drive shaft 320 that moves with the looper frame, and the linkage end 410 is hingedly connected to the drive shaft 320. In other embodiments, the looper frame 300 can also be linked to the protective member 400 via a multi-stage transmission mechanism. When the looper frame 300 moves relative to the housing 100, the drive shaft 320 drives the linkage end 410 to move, thereby achieving linkage with the protective member 400.

[0049] In order to improve the accuracy of the action of the protective member 400, refer to the attached Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the safety reset device further includes a guide seat 500, through which the protective member 400 slides. The guide seat 500 rotatably engages with the housing 100 to limit the movement path of the protective member 400. The guide seat 500 is provided with a guide hole that matches the outer shape of the protective member 400. Furthermore, the working ends 420 are evenly spaced along the extension direction and have a smaller radial dimension than the linkage ends 410. Specifically, the radial dimension of the linkage ends 410 is larger than the radial dimension of the guide holes. The guide holes extend toward the front seam platform 220.

[0050] Regarding the details of the guide base 500, the housing 100 is mounted with a support member 510, and the guide base 500 is rotatably sleeved on the support member 510. Further, the guide base 500 includes:

[0051] The annular portion 520 is sleeved on the support member 510;

[0052] The biasing portion 530 protrudes radially outward relative to the annular portion 520 , and defines a guide hole for the protective member 400 to slide through.

[0053] The guide seat 500 can be adaptively rotated relative to its own mounting components (such as the support member 510) to release the movement range of the protective member 400. The support member 510 can be provided separately or shared with other components to improve the integration of components. Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, the support member 510 is cylindrical and has an internal mounting channel. The housing 100 is also mounted with a needle feeding shaft 600, and one end of the needle feeding shaft 600 is inserted into the mounting channel. A needle feeding shaft 600 is mounted with a needle feeding shaft 610. At least one end of the needle feeding shaft 600 is an assembly end that fits into the housing 100, and the support member 510 is positioned adjacent to the assembly end. Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the support member 510 and the housing 100 clamp the guide base 500 to improve the installation strength of the guide base 500 , thereby improving the working stability of the protective member 400 .

[0054] The looper frame 300 can be driven by a push-pull mechanism. The looper frame 300 can be switched to different positions by moving the pull rod 330. The movement of the looper frame 300 is synchronized with the linkage end 410 of the guard 400 via the drive shaft 320, thereby driving the working end 420 of the guard 400 to move relative to the guide seat 500.

[0055] The maintenance process of the bent needle is as follows:

[0056] Operate the positioning piece and / or the limiting buckle 211 to release the mutual locking between the front sewing platform 220 and the fixed sewing platform 210, and drive the front sewing platform 220 to move relative to the fixed sewing platform 210 to open the looper frame 300;

[0057] Pull out the pull rod 330, and the looper frame 300 pops out. As the looper frame 300 pops out, the protective member 400 is ejected. After the ejection, the top height of the working end 420 of the protective member 400 exceeds the height of the front seam platform 220, that is, it is located on the closing path of the front seam platform 220.

[0058] When threading or maintenance is completed, if the looper frame 300 is not reset, closing the front seam platform 220 will be blocked by the working end 420 of the protective member 400, and the front seam platform 220 cannot be completely closed; at this time, it is necessary to reset the looper frame 300 to drive the protective member 400 to retract to avoid the front seam platform 220, thereby achieving safe reset.

[0059] The safety reset device for the bending needle frame of a multi-needle machine in this application solves the risk of damaging the bending needles when the front sewing table 220 is opened for threading or maintenance, and the machine is directly operated by forgetting to reset the bending needle frame 300. It has the advantages of simple structure, low training cost, good economy, safety and stability.

[0060] In conjunction with the above, the present application further provides a sewing device, including the safety reset device for the multi-needle machine looper frame in the above technical solution. The safety reset device for the multi-needle machine looper frame is described above, and the other parts of the sewing device can be implemented in combination with existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0061] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be combined in any manner. To simplify the description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as no contradiction exists between these combinations of technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification. When technical features in different embodiments are embodied in the same drawing, it can be deemed that the drawing also discloses examples of combinations of the various embodiments involved.

[0062] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of patent protection for the present application shall be determined by the appended claims.
