Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0021] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 A thread clamping device of a sewing machine, comprising an installation box 1, a first motor 3 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the installation box 1, a threaded rod 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 3, a moving frame 5 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 4, the moving frame 5 is slidingly connected to the inner wall of the installation box 1, the moving frame 5 is provided with two groups and symmetrically arranged at both ends of the installation box 1, and a clamping assembly is arranged on the installation box 1; when the tension of the sewing thread needs to be adjusted, the first motor 3 is started, and the first motor 3 drives the threaded rod 4 to rotate. Since the moving frame 5 is threadedly connected with the threaded rod 4 and slidingly connected to the inner wall of the installation box 1, the rotation of the threaded rod 4 will make the two groups of moving frames 5 symmetrically distributed at both ends of the installation box 1 move inside the installation box 1, and then the clamping assembly is used to clamp the sewing thread.

[0022] The clamping assembly comprises the movable plates 6, the springs 7, the tensioning wheels 8 and the fixed rods 16. The movable plates 6 are movably hinged on the side walls of the moving frame 5 and are provided with two groups. The fixed rods 16 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of one group of the movable plates 6. The tensioning wheels 8 are rotatably sleeved on the outer walls of the fixed rods 16. The springs 7 are fixedly connected between the two groups of the movable plates 6. The top of one group of the movable plates 6 is fixedly connected with the second motor 9. The output end of the second motor 9 is fixedly connected with the rotating rod 91. The rotating rod 91 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the movable plate 6. One group of the tensioning wheels 8 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 91. When the tensioning wheels 8 start to move, they will be tightly attached to the outer wall of the sewing thread. With the further movement of the moving frame 5, the distance between the movable plates 6 will change under the action of the springs 7. The springs 7 will be stretched or compressed. The elasticity of the springs 7 will make the tensioning wheels 8 expand or contract on the sewing thread to the two ends. At the same time, the tensioning wheels 8 will be more tightly attached to the outer wall of the sewing thread. In this process, the tensioning wheels 8 will start to move the sewing thread. Due to the rotating characteristics of the tensioning wheels 8, the sewing thread will move better on the tensioning wheels 8. Moreover, the rotation and position change of the tensioning wheels 8 will continuously adjust the tension of the sewing thread according to the elasticity of the springs 7 and the position of the moving frame 5. By accurately controlling the rotating amount and rotating direction of the first motor 3, the moving distance of the moving frame 5 can be accurately controlled, and then the tensioning degree of the tensioning wheels 8 to the sewing thread can be accurately adjusted.

The second connecting plate 12 and the cutting knife 13 are provided with the bolt 15. During the sewing process, when it is found that the sewing thread is too long, the cutting knife 13 on the second connecting plate 12 can be used for cutting operation. First, the square groove 14 is pulled to make the cutting knife 13 slide on the inner wall of the second connecting plate 12. The position of the cutting knife 13 is adjusted to be aligned with the position of the sewing thread to be cut. Then, the cutting knife 13 is fixed at the position by tightening the bolt 15. Finally, the cutting knife 13 is used to cut the sewing thread to remove the part of the sewing thread that is too long.

[0026] The mounting box 1 is fixedly connected with a fixed lug plate 2 at the four corners, and the fixed lug plate 2 is provided with threaded holes; in use, the threaded holes on the fixed lug plate 2 are fixed with the corresponding parts of the sewing machine through connecting members such as bolts.

[0044] Fixed rod 16: fixedly connected to the inner wall of a group of movable plates 6, provides rotating support for the tensioning wheel 8, enables the tensioning wheel 8 to be stably sleeved on the outer wall, and changes position and tensioning force on the sewing thread along with the movement of the movable plate 6 and the elastic force change of the spring 7.

[0045] Working principle

[0046] First, the sewing thread is threaded through the sleeve ring 11 on the first connecting plate 10 of the installation box 1 side wall, and then guided to the tensioning wheel 8 on the two groups of movable plates 6, so that the sewing thread is in contact with the outer wall of the tensioning wheel 8. The outer wall of the tensioning wheel 8 is covered with a rubber layer, which not only increases the friction between the sewing thread and the tensioning wheel 8 to prevent the sewing thread from slipping, but also protects the sewing thread from damage, providing a good foundation for subsequent tensioning of the sewing thread. When it is necessary to adjust the tensioning degree of the sewing thread, the first motor 3 is started, and the first motor 3 drives the threaded rod 4 to rotate. Since the moving frame 5 is threadedly connected with the threaded rod 4 and slidably connected to the inner wall of the installation box 1, the rotation of the threaded rod 4 will cause the two groups of moving frames 5 symmetrically distributed on both ends of the installation box 1 to move inside the installation box 1. One of the moving frames 5 will drive the tensioning wheels 8 on the two groups of movable plates 6 connected thereto to move. When the tensioning wheel 8 starts to move, it will tightly adhere to the outer wall of the sewing thread. With the further movement of the moving frame 5, the distance between the movable plates 6 will change under the action of the spring 7, and the spring 7 will be stretched or compressed. The elastic force of the spring 7 will cause the tensioning wheel 8 to expand or contract on both ends of the sewing thread, and at the same time, the tensioning wheel 8 will be more tightly adhered to the outer wall of the sewing thread. In this process, the tensioning wheel 8 starts to move the sewing thread. Due to the rotating characteristics of the tensioning wheel 8, the sewing thread will move better on the tensioning wheel 8. Moreover, the rotation and position change of the tensioning wheel 8 will continuously adjust the tensioning force of the sewing thread according to the elastic force of the spring 7 and the position adjustment of the moving frame 5. By accurately controlling the rotation amount and direction of the first motor 3, the moving distance of the moving frame 5 can be accurately controlled, and in turn, the tensioning degree of the tensioning wheel 8 on the sewing thread can be accurately adjusted. This accurate adjustment can adjust the tensioning force of the sewing thread to a suitable state according to the thickness, material of the sewing thread and different sewing process requirements, to ensure the uniformity and firmness of the sewing thread trace.

[0047] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, replacements and modifications can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
