[0024] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0025] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the present application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.

[0026] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature to other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figures. For example, if the device in the drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways, rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations, and the spatially relative descriptions used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sewing machine needle linkage mechanism of this embodiment includes: a motor assembly 10, a needle assembly 20, and a presser foot assembly 30. The motor assembly 10 includes a dual-axis motor, which includes a first drive shaft and a second drive shaft. The needle assembly 20 cooperates with the first drive shaft of the dual-axis motor. The presser foot assembly 30 cooperates with the second drive shaft of the dual-axis motor.

[0028] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the first drive shaft of the dual-axis motor cooperates with the needle assembly 20, and the second drive shaft cooperates with the presser foot assembly 30. In this way, the dual-axis motor can be used to drive the needle assembly 20 to be raised or lowered, and the dual-axis motor can also be used to drive the presser foot assembly 30 to be raised or lowered. By driving the needle assembly 20 and the presser foot assembly 30 by a motor, time and labor are saved, and efficiency is high. In addition, by setting up the dual-axis motor, space is saved compared to the structure in which the needle assembly 20 and the presser foot assembly 30 are provided with motors separately. The technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem in the prior art that the sewing machine is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and has low efficiency, in adjusting the position of the needle and presser foot.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the motor assembly 10 includes a first gear 11, the needle assembly 20 includes a second gear 21, a needle transmission structure 22, a needle bar structure 23 and a needle bar sleeve 24, the first gear 11 is installed on the first drive shaft, the second gear 21 is installed on the needle transmission structure 22, the first gear 11 and the second gear 21 are meshed, the needle transmission structure 22 cooperates with the needle bar structure 23, and the needle bar structure 23 is movably installed in the needle bar sleeve 24. The transmission method through the first gear 11 and the second gear 21 is relatively stable and the transmission accuracy is high. The cooperation between the needle bar structure 23 and the needle bar sleeve 24 allows the rotation to be converted into the up and down translation of the needle. The above structure is compact and the transmission effect is good.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the first gear 11 and the second gear 21 are both bevel gears. This structural arrangement is more convenient and flexible. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft of the dual-axis motor is arranged horizontally, and the needle drive rod is arranged vertically. The first gear 11 and the second gear 21 can be fixed using fasteners such as screws, or other methods such as interference fit, which will not be further described here.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the needle transmission structure 22 includes a needle transmission rod, a third gear and a fourth gear. The second gear 21 and the third gear are both mounted on the needle transmission rod, and the fourth gear is mounted on the needle rod structure 23. The third gear and the fourth gear are meshed with each other. The above structure is compact, with high transmission accuracy and smooth transmission. It should be noted that the third gear and the fourth gear can also be matched through a transmission gear, and the transmission of the above-mentioned third gear and fourth gear can also be a chain drive, or a toothed belt drive.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the needle bar structure 23 comprises a threaded rod 231 and a needle holder 232. The needle bar sleeve 24 has internal threads. The external threads of the threaded rod mate with the internal threads of the needle bar sleeve 24, and the lower end of the threaded rod engages with the needle holder. The needle bar sleeve 24 is connected to the crankshaft assembly via fasteners. The rotation between the threaded rod and the needle bar sleeve 24 is converted into the up and down movement of the threaded rod. This structure also allows the pitch of the threaded rod's threads to be adjusted as needed to adjust the movement accuracy of the needle.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the outer contour of the needle seat is non-circular, and the needle seat includes a seat body and a cover plate. The seat body and the cover plate are detachably connected, and a threaded rod accommodating space and a mounting through hole are provided between the seat body and the cover plate. The mounting through hole passes through the upper end of the needle seat and the threaded rod accommodating space. The threaded rod includes a threaded section, a reduced diameter section and a driving disc from top to bottom. The reduced diameter section is located in the mounting through hole, and the driving disc is located in the threaded rod accommodating space. It should be noted that the outer contour of the needle seat can be square, oval, or other irregular shapes. The lower end of the needle bar sleeve 24 is compatible with the needle seat, as long as the needle seat can move up and down along the needle bar sleeve 24 without rotating relative to it. The threaded rod accommodating space is also disc-shaped. The threaded rod can rotate relative to the needle seat without moving up and down relative to it. The threaded rod can drive the needle seat to move up and down.

[0034] like Figure 1As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the first drive shaft is located inside the second drive shaft. In this way, the first drive shaft and the second drive shaft do not interfere with each other when working. It should be noted that the second drive shaft is a hollow shaft, the first drive shaft passes through the second drive shaft, and the outer end of the first drive shaft is farther away from the motor body than the outer end of the second drive shaft. The above structure is related to the structure between the needle assembly 20 and the presser foot assembly 30. According to the structure and positional relationship of the first drive shaft and the second drive shaft, as well as the working conditions of the needle assembly 20 and the presser foot assembly 30, appropriate structural configuration is performed to make the above structure more compact, occupy less space, and do not interfere with each other.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the presser foot assembly 30 includes a presser foot 31, a presser foot transmission structure 32 and a rack. The motor assembly 10 also includes a fifth gear 12, which is engaged with the rack. The rack is connected to the presser foot transmission structure 32 and is matched with the sewing machine housing to be movable up and down. The above structure has a stable transmission and is convenient for control. The upper part of the rack has a limiting section, and the upper part of the sewing machine housing has a through hole that is compatible with the limiting section. The limiting section of the rack can only move up and down in the through hole. The through hole forms a constraint on the other directions of the rack, so that the rack is more stable when moving.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in the technical scheme of the present embodiment, the presser foot transmission structure 32 includes a transmission block, a presser foot rod and a spring. The upper end of the presser foot rod is connected to the transmission block, and the presser foot 31 is connected to the lower end of the presser foot rod. The spring is pressed between the transmission block and the sewing machine housing, and the rack is connected to the transmission block. The up and down movement of the rack drives the up and down movement of the transmission block. Under the combined constraints of the spring, the rack, the presser foot rod and the sewing machine housing, the transmission block has a high operating precision and runs smoothly. In order to adapt to the conditions of different fabrics, the needle can be first lifted under the action of the motor assembly 10. After the presser foot 31 is pressed into place, the needle returns to its position under the action of the motor assembly 10. The position where the needle returns to is convenient for cooperation with the rotary shuttle.

[0037] According to another aspect of the present application, a machine head device is also provided, which includes a needle drive motor assembly, a crankshaft assembly and a sewing needle linkage mechanism. The needle drive motor assembly is connected to the needle assembly 20 of the sewing needle linkage mechanism through the crankshaft assembly. The sewing needle linkage mechanism is the above-mentioned sewing needle linkage mechanism.

[0038] According to another aspect of the present application, a sewing machine is further provided, which includes a sewing machine body and a sewing machine needle linkage mechanism, and the sewing machine needle linkage mechanism is the sewing machine needle linkage mechanism mentioned above.
