Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of embroidery machine technology, and in particular to a structure with a material replenishment reminder and early warning function for the hopper of a computerized embroidery machine bead embroidery device. Background Technology

[0002] The bead embroidery device on a computerized embroidery machine is a special device that allows the addition of decorative elements such as beads during the embroidery process, enhancing the beauty and variety of the embroidered product. The bead embroidery device is compatible with various models of computerized embroidery machines and can combine multiple techniques such as rope embroidery, sequin embroidery, and bead embroidery to create more exquisite and textured embroidered patterns on clothing, bags, and other products. This mechanized bead embroidery process reduces the need for manual operation and increases production efficiency.

[0003] With the development of the times, bead embroidery devices are also constantly being updated and replaced. The feeding mechanism in the bead embroidery device is a key part of completing the bead embroidery process. It is responsible for accurately delivering auxiliary materials such as beads to the needle. However, the auxiliary materials in the feeding mechanism's hopper, such as beads and sequins, are easily embroidered, resulting in an empty hopper, causing the bead embroidery device to have empty embroidery and missing embroidery, which reduces the quality of the embroidery.

[0004] Based on the above technical problems, a material replenishment reminder and early warning function structure for the bead embroidery device of a computer embroidery machine is proposed. When the auxiliary material in the hopper is insufficient, it can actively remind the user and avoid the occurrence of empty embroidery or missed embroidery. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to overcome the defects in the prior art and provide a structure with a material replenishment reminder and early warning function for the hopper of a computer embroidery machine bead embroidery device. When the auxiliary material in the hopper is insufficient, it can actively remind the user, thus avoiding the occurrence of empty embroidery or missed embroidery.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a material replenishment reminder and early warning structure for a bead embroidery device of a computer embroidery machine, comprising a sensor plate fixing seat fixed inside the hopper, wherein the sensor plate fixing seat forms an accommodating space for accommodating the sensor plate and one end of the sensor counterweight, and the sensor counterweight and the sensor plate are connected by fasteners; the sensor plate fixing seat is provided with an upper fastener and a lower fastener penetrating through the sensor plate fixing seat, the lower fastener also penetrating through the sensor counterweight, and a sensing reset torsion spring is provided between the upper fastener, the lower fastener and the fasteners; and a sensing element fixing seat fixed outside the hopper, wherein a sensing Hall element adapted to the sensor plate is formed on the side of the sensing element fixing seat facing the sensor plate.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the induction plate has a slot on the side facing the induction counterweight, and the induction counterweight has a mounting part that fits into the slot on the side facing the induction plate, and the fastener passes through the slot and the mounting part.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, there are at least two inductive reset torsion springs located on both sides of the lower fastener.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first sleeve portion and the second sleeve portion are arranged at an angle, the angle being between 30° and 90°.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the side of the inductive counterweight block away from the inductive plate fixing seat forms a counterweight plate, and the counterweight plate is located in the middle of the hopper.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the induction plate fixing seat has a threaded hole on the side facing the induction element fixing seat, and the induction element fixing seat has a through hole.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the sensing Hall element is located at the upper end of the sensing element fixing base.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sensing sheet includes a sensing part and a receiving part located at the lower end of the sensing part, wherein the receiving part is inclined inward with respect to the sensing part.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1.

[0026] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a material replenishment reminder and early warning structure for a bead embroidery device of a computer embroidery machine includes a sensor plate fixing seat 5 fixed inside the hopper. The sensor plate fixing seat 5 forms a receiving space 51 inside to accommodate the sensor plate 4 and one end of the sensing counterweight block 3. The sensing counterweight block 3 and the sensor plate 4 are connected by fasteners 9. The sensor plate fixing seat 5 is provided with an upper fastener 7 and a lower fastener 8 that penetrate through the sensor plate fixing seat 5. The lower fastener 8 also penetrates through the sensing counterweight block 3. A sensing reset torsion spring 6 is provided between the upper fastener 7, the lower fastener 8 and the fastener 9. The device also includes a sensing element fixing seat 2 fixed outside the hopper. The side of the sensing element fixing seat 2 facing the sensing plate 4 forms a sensing Hall element 1 that is adapted to the sensing plate 4.

[0028] Fastener 9 and reset torsion spring 6 are both located within the receiving space 51.

[0029] Specifically, the inductive counterweight 3 is rotatably connected to the inductive plate fixing seat 5 via the lower fastener 8, and the inductive plate 4 is fixedly connected to the inductive counterweight 3 via the fastener 9. An inductive reset torsion spring 6, capable of resetting the inductive counterweight 3, is connected between the upper fastener 7, the lower fastener 8, and the fastener 9. On one hand, when the inductive counterweight 3 is located inside the hopper and subjected to a force greater than the tension of the inductive reset torsion spring 6, the inductive counterweight 3 will move towards the inside of the hopper, thereby causing the inductive plate 4 to move towards the inside of the hopper. Since the inductive Hall element 1, which is compatible with the inductive plate 4, cannot detect the inductive plate 4, it will not issue a replenishment warning.

[0030] On the other hand, when the internal structure of the sensing counterweight 3 in the hopper is subjected to a force less than or equal to the tension of the sensing reset torsion spring 6, that is, when the auxiliary material pressed on the sensing counterweight 3 in the hopper decreases and the gravity decreases, the sensing counterweight 3 will move away from the inside of the hopper under the tension of the sensing reset torsion spring 6. In turn, it will drive the sensing plate 4 to approach the sensing Hall element 1. After the sensing Hall element 1 senses the sensing plate 4, it will issue a replenishment reminder warning, reminding the hopper to replenish auxiliary material.

[0031] Among them, the inductive counterweight 3 is located in the internal structure of the hopper, which is the counterweight plate 33 mentioned below.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, this utility model can indirectly control the sensor 4 to move away from or closer to the sensor Hall element 1 by changing the weight of the auxiliary material in the hopper, triggering a replenishment reminder warning, avoiding machine stoppage for replenishment when the hopper is empty, and greatly improving embroidery efficiency.

[0033] Secondly, by using changes in the weight of auxiliary materials in the hopper to trigger replenishment alerts, replenishment control becomes more precise.

[0034] The sensing plate 4 has a slot 41 on the side facing the sensing counterweight 3, and the sensing counterweight 3 has a mounting part 31 on the side facing the sensing plate 4 that fits into the slot 41. The fastener 9 passes through the slot 41 and the mounting part 31.

[0035] A connecting portion 32 is formed on the side of the inductive counterweight 3 away from the inductive plate 4, and the lower fastener 8 passes through the connecting portion 32.

[0036] Specifically, the mounting part 31 is inserted into the slot 41, which realizes the positioning of the sensing counterweight 3 and the sensing plate 4, making it convenient for the fastener 9 to pass through the sensing counterweight 3 and the sensing plate 4 to fix them. The lower fastener 8 that passes through the sensing plate fixing seat 5 also passes through the connecting part 32, so that the sensing counterweight 3 can rotate around the lower fastener 8 and can also be indirectly fixed on the sensing plate fixing seat 5.

[0037] like Figures 4-5As shown, the inductive reset torsion spring 6 is sleeved on the lower fastener 8. The two ends of the inductive reset torsion spring 6 extend into a first sleeve portion 61 and a second sleeve portion 62. The first sleeve portion 61 is sleeved on the upper fastener 7, and the second sleeve portion 62 is sleeved on the fastener 9.

[0038] There are at least two inductive reset torsion springs 6 located on both sides of the lower fastener 8, ensuring that the inductive reset torsion springs 6 can apply tension evenly to both sides of the inductive plate 4, the inductive counterweight 3, and the fastener 9.

[0039] The first set part 61 and the second set part 62 are set at an angle, the angle being between 30° and 90°.

[0040] Specifically, when the internal structure of the inductive counterweight 3 located in the hopper is subjected to a gravity greater than the tension of the inductive reset torsion spring 6, the second sleeve 62 of the inductive reset torsion spring 6 tilts and moves closer to the inside of the hopper, the inductive reset torsion spring 6 is compressed, and the angle between the first sleeve 61 and the second sleeve 62 is less than 90°; when the internal structure of the inductive counterweight 3 located in the hopper is subjected to a gravity less than or equal to the tension of the inductive reset torsion spring 6, the second sleeve 62 of the inductive reset torsion spring 6 moves away from the hopper, and the angle between the first sleeve 61 and the second sleeve 62 returns to about 90°.

[0041] This invention uses a torsion spring 6 to reset the counterweight 3, thereby resetting the sensor plate 4. This facilitates flexible sensing between the sensor plate 4 and the Hall element 1, which is beneficial for the efficient implementation of the material replenishment reminder and early warning function.

[0042] The side of the induction counterweight block 3 away from the induction plate fixing seat 5 forms a counterweight plate 33. The counterweight plate 33 is located in the middle of the hopper, which facilitates the even distribution of the weight of the auxiliary materials in the hopper.

[0043] Furthermore, the upper surface of the counterweight plate 33 is curved to prevent auxiliary materials from accumulating on the counterweight plate 33 and causing errors in the material replenishment reminder and warning function.

[0044] The sensor plate mounting base 5 has a threaded hole 52 on the side facing the sensor element mounting base 2. The sensor element mounting base 2 has a through hole 21. Bolts pass through the through hole 21, the hopper, and the threaded hole 52 in sequence to connect the sensor plate mounting base 5 and the sensor element mounting base 2. The bolts installed in the threaded hole 52 and the through hole 21 not only connect the sensor plate mounting base 5 and the sensor element mounting base 2, but also position the sensor plate mounting base 5 and the sensor element mounting base 2, making it easy to position other parts installed on the sensor plate mounting base 5 and the sensor element mounting base 2.

[0045] The Hall element 1 is located at the upper end of the sensing element mounting base 2 to prevent the Hall element 1 from being interfered with by the parts installed on the lower part of the sensing element mounting base 2 and the sensing plate mounting base 5.

[0046] The sensor plate 4 includes a sensing part 42 and a receiving part 43 located at the lower end of the sensing part 42. The receiving part 43 is inclined inward with the sensing part 42 as a reference, so that the receiving part 43 does not interfere with the inner wall of the hopper during the rotation of the sensor plate 4, thus ensuring the realization of the material replenishment reminder and early warning function.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, this utility model makes it easier to replenish auxiliary materials in a timely manner, reduces the probability of missing embroidery, and improves the quality of embroidery.

[0048] Specifically, a structure for a material replenishment reminder and early warning function in the hopper of a computer embroidery machine's bead embroidery device is implemented:

[0049] When the hopper is full of beads or the number of beads is greater than 1 / 3 of the full state, the weight of the beads themselves will press the induction counterweight 3 down to a certain position, the induction reset torsion spring 6 will be in a compressed state, and the induction plate 4 will be disengaged from the sensing point of the induction Hall element 1, and the induction Hall element 1 will not issue a replenishment reminder warning.

[0050] When the amount of auxiliary beads in the hopper is lower than or equal to 1 / 3 of the full size, the induction reset torsion spring 6 restores its elastic deformation, pulling back the induction counterweight 3 and the induction plate 4. The induction plate 4 moves to the position of the sensing point of the induction Hall element 1, and the induction Hall element 1 issues a replenishment reminder warning. At this time, the staff replenishes the auxiliary beads in the corresponding hopper according to the reminder warning instruction.

[0051] When a certain amount of beads are added, the induction counterweight 3 is pressed down by the beads, the induction reset torsion spring 5 is compressed, and the induction plate 4 is removed from the sensing point of the induction Hall element 1 again. The induction Hall element 1 will not issue a replenishment reminder warning. At the same time, the staff keeps adding beads until the warehouse is full and then stops adding them. This action is repeated to achieve the replenishment reminder warning function.

[0052] The hopper can hold not only beads, but also other embroidery pieces such as gold sequins, allowing the bead embroidery device to create different embroidery patterns.

[0053] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention; therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
