Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flat sewing machine technology, and more specifically, it relates to an automatic flat sewing machine for leather garments with slits. Background Technology
[0002] A flatbed sewing machine is a machine that uses a sewing thread to create a stitch on the fabric, allowing one or more layers of fabric to interweave or sew together. In leather garment making, flatbed sewing machines are used to sew multiple pieces of leather or leather with other materials together to form a complete garment. In this process, flatbed sewing machines not only ensure the stability of the leather garment's connection but also greatly improve production efficiency.
[0003] In the design of traditional flatbed sewing machines, while pursuing efficient sewing, attention was also paid to the tedious and time-consuming process of manually cutting the thread. In order to reduce the burden on operators, most modern flatbed sewing machines have integrated a thread cutting device under the table to quickly cut the sewing thread after sewing is completed.
[0004] As the usage time increases, the blades of the thread cutting device often fail to mesh properly due to wear or misalignment, resulting in poor thread cutting effect or complete inability to cut the sewing thread. In order to ensure the continuity of production and product quality, the thread cutting device needs to be repaired or replaced. However, since the thread cutting device is usually installed inside the flat sewing machine and has a relatively complex structure, once a malfunction occurs, it is often difficult for operators to directly access and repair it, which increases the difficulty and time cost of maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0023] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Reference Figures 1-5 An automatic thread-cutting and flat-sewing machine for leather garments includes a sewing table 1, a sewing head 2 fixedly mounted on the sewing table 1, a presser foot mechanism 3 fixedly mounted on the sewing head 2, and a thread-cutting mechanism 4 fixedly mounted on the presser foot mechanism 3. The thread-cutting mechanism 4 includes a fixing frame 41 and a thread-cutting blade 42. A linear drive device 43 is fixedly mounted on the fixing frame 41. A first connecting block 44 is fixedly provided on the output end of the linear drive device 43. A second connecting block 45 is rotatably connected to the first connecting block 44. A drive rod 46 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second connecting block 45. A connecting assembly 47 is provided between the lower end of 46 and the tangent blade 42. The connecting assembly 47 includes a fixed clamping block 471 and a movable clamping block 472 for assembling the tangent blade 42, and a driving part 473 for driving the movable clamping block 472 to move closer to or away from the fixed clamping block 471. A fixed sleeve 48 is fixedly provided on the fixed frame 41 and sleeved on the outside of the driving rod 46. A sliding column 461 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the driving rod 46. A through groove 481 is provided on the fixed sleeve 48 for the sliding column 461 to slide. The through groove 481 extends spirally in the axial direction of the fixed sleeve 48.
[0025] Furthermore, the linear drive device 43 includes a lead screw 431 vertically mounted on a fixed frame 41. Both ends of the lead screw 431 are rotatably engaged with the fixed frame 41. A motor for driving the lead screw 431 to rotate is fixedly mounted on the fixed frame 41. A moving block 432 is threaded onto the lead screw 431. The moving block 432 has a Z-shaped structure, and the end of the moving block 432 away from the lead screw 431 is fixedly connected to the first connecting block 44.
[0026] When the motor starts, it drives the lead screw 431 to rotate, causing the moving block 432 to move up and down along the lead screw 431 under the action of the thread. The transmission efficiency is high, and it can accurately control the up and down movement of the cutting blade 42, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the cutting action. The Z-shaped moving block 432 drives the first connecting block 44 to move synchronously, which can make the structure more compact.
[0027] Furthermore, a roller 4611 is rotatably sleeved on the sliding column 461. The roller 4611 fits against the inner wall of the through groove 481. The roller 4611 rolls in the through groove 481, which effectively reduces the frictional resistance between the sliding column 461 and the inner wall of the through groove 481, reduces wear, and improves service life.
[0028] Furthermore, the drive unit 473 includes a mounting base 4731 fixedly mounted on the drive rod 46. A first wedge block 4732 is slidably connected to the mounting base 4731. A threaded rod 4733 is rotatably connected to one side of the first wedge block 4732. The threaded rod 4733 passes through the mounting base 4731 and is threadedly engaged with it. A second wedge block 4734 is slidably connected to the mounting base 4731 and wedges into the first wedge block 4732. An elastic element 4735, specifically a spring, is fixedly abutted between the second wedge block 4734 and the mounting base 4731. The second wedge block 4734 is fixedly connected to the movable clamping block 472. A fixed clamping block 471 is disposed on the opposite side of the movable clamping block 472 and is fixedly connected to the mounting base 4731.
[0029] When the threaded rod 4733 is rotated, the first wedge 4732 slides horizontally on the mounting base 4731 and pushes the second wedge 4734 downward through the wedging action, thereby causing the moving clamp 472 to descend and approach the fixed clamp 471, clamping the tangent blade 42 between the fixed clamp 471 and the moving clamp 472. At the same time, the elastic element 4735 is compressed in this process. When the threaded rod 4733 is rotated in the opposite direction, the first wedge 4732 slides in the opposite direction along the mounting base 4731 and no longer pushes the second wedge 4734. Under the action of the spring, the second wedge 4734 slides upward along the mounting base 4731, thereby causing the moving clamp 472 to move away from the fixed clamp 471. The tangent blade 42 can be removed after the limit is released. The clamping and loosening between the moving clamp 472 and the fixed clamp 471 is achieved by using the wedging transmission and thread adjustment method, which is simple, flexible and reliable in operation.
[0030] Furthermore, a slider 4736 is fixedly provided on the side of the first wedge 4732 and the second wedge 4734 near the mounting base 4731. The slider 4736 is in the shape of an "I". The mounting base 4731 is provided with a groove for the slider 4736 to slide, which ensures the stable sliding of the first wedge 4732 and the second wedge 4734 on the mounting base 4731 and improves the stability and accuracy of the transmission.
[0031] Furthermore, rubber pads 474 are glued to the opposite sides of the movable clamping block 472 and the fixed clamping block 471. The design of the rubber pads 474 can increase the clamping force between the movable clamping block 472 and the fixed clamping block 471.
[0032] Working principle: The flatbed sewing machine in this embodiment is basically the same as the conventional flatbed sewing machine. The sewing table 1, the machine head 2 and the presser foot mechanism 3 can all adopt the existing technology structure. The difference is that the flatbed sewing machine sets the thread cutting mechanism 4 on the outside. When the flatbed sewing machine is sewing normally, the thread cutting blade 42 is located behind the presser foot mechanism 3, which avoids interfering with the normal sewing process. When the sewing operation is completed and the thread needs to be cut, the linear drive device 43 drives the first connecting block 44 to descend vertically, which in turn drives the connected second connecting block 45, drive rod 46, connecting assembly 47 and thread cutter 42 to descend as a whole. As the sliding column 461 on the drive rod 46 moves down, it is guided by the spiral groove 481 on the fixed sleeve 48, causing the sliding column 461 to reverse and drive the drive rod 46 to deflect within the fixed sleeve 48. This causes the second connecting block 45 connected at the upper end to deflect relative to the first connecting block 44 and the thread cutter 42 connected at the lower end to rotate, ultimately rotating the thread cutter 42 to the fabric to cut the thread. When the thread cutter 42 needs maintenance, the drive unit 473 drives the moving clamp 472 away from the fixed clamp 471, allowing the thread cutter 42 to be quickly removed. The external thread cutting mechanism 4 has a compact overall structure and is easy to disassemble and maintain.
[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
