Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of needle plate assembly technology, specifically a modular round-head buttonhole machine needle plate assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Buttonhole machines are a crucial piece of equipment in garment machinery. They are primarily used to process buttonholes in various garments and are categorized into flat-head and round-head types, and further divided into those with and without a finishing edge. The round-head buttonhole machine is a specialized industrial sewing machine designed for sewing buttonholes in medium-thickness garments. The term "round-head" refers to the circular shape of the buttonhole's front end. Its characteristics include aesthetically pleasing buttonhole shapes and even, strong stitches. Round-head buttonhole machines are equipped with a counterweight needle plate assembly, which includes a needle plate holder and a small needle plate.

[0003] During the sewing process, there is a certain probability that the hole wall will be punctured or pierced due to the bending or slanting of the needle. Damage to the small needle plate will cause the sewing stitches to be unsightly or unable to form stitches properly, and it needs to be replaced.

[0004] However, most existing mounting bases and small needle plates are integrally molded structures. Replacing the small needle plate requires replacing the entire needle plate mounting base, which is costly. In addition, there are limit plates in the needle plate assembly, which need to be removed before the small needle plate can be replaced, making the operation cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, it does not meet the existing needs. In response, we have proposed a modular round-head buttonhole machine needle plate assembly. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a modular round-head buttonhole machine needle plate assembly to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the fact that most of the fixed base and small needle plate are integrally formed structures, and that replacing the small needle plate requires replacing the entire needle plate fixed base, which is costly. In addition, there is a limit plate in the needle plate assembly, which needs to be removed before the small needle plate can be replaced, which is troublesome, time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a modular round-head keyhole machine needle plate assembly, including a keyhole machine base, a needle plate assembly movably mounted on one side of the upper surface of the keyhole machine base via a moving mechanism, the needle plate assembly including a fixed seat, a through groove being provided through the upper surface of the fixed seat, a transverse groove being provided on both the front and rear surfaces of the inner wall of the through groove, a connecting plate being movably mounted on the upper surface of the transverse groove via a sliding disassembly mechanism, the sliding disassembly mechanism including a pressure plate, the pressure plate being mounted on both sides of the transverse groove via a first strip groove, the pressure plate being movably connected to the inner wall of the first strip groove via a first spring, a retaining plate being installed on the opposite side of every two pressure plates, two retaining grooves being symmetrically provided on the opposite side of the outer surfaces of the two connecting plates, a small needle plate being fixedly connected to the opposite side of the outer surfaces of the two connecting plates, and a limiting plate being installed on one side above the needle plate assembly.

[0007] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes a threaded rod, which is installed in front of and behind the upper end face of the keyhole machine base through a second groove, and a threaded plate is sleeved on the outer surface of the threaded rod.

[0008] Preferably, the upper end face of the threaded plate is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the fixed seat, a motor is installed on one side of the second groove through the motor cavity, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod through a coupling, and the other end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the second groove through a bearing.

[0009] Preferably, a plurality of second springs are installed on the upper end face of the transverse groove, and the first strip groove and the transverse groove are connected through a connecting groove.

[0010] Preferably, the size of the card plate is smaller than the size of the connecting groove, and the card plate can be inserted into the inside of the card groove.

[0011] Preferably, a semi-circular groove is provided above the opposite side of the outer surface of each pair of pressure plates.

[0012] Preferably, sliders are installed on both sides of the outer surface of the pressure plate, and sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the first strip groove, with the sliders engaging the inner side of the sliding grooves.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This utility model, by incorporating a moving mechanism and a sliding disassembly mechanism, allows for easy replacement of the small needle plate. First, controlling the motor switch rotates the threaded rod, causing the threaded plate to move to one side of the outer surface of the threaded rod, thus moving the fixed seat to one side and extending it from below the limiting plate. Simultaneously, the four pressure plates are moved away from the connecting plate via the semi-circular groove, causing the locking plate to move. The locking plate leaves the inner side of the slot, releasing the limiting effect on the connecting plate. Under the action of the second spring, the connecting plate is pushed upwards, allowing the user to remove the small needle plate from the inside of the through groove for replacement. The new small needle plate is placed above the through groove, with the connecting plate aligned with the inner side of the horizontal groove. The four pressure plates are moved outwards via the semi-circular groove, causing the connecting plate to engage with the inner side of the horizontal groove. The second spring is compressed, releasing the pressure plates. Under the action of the first spring, the pressure plates move the locking plate closer to the connecting plate, passing through the connecting groove and engaging with the inner side of the slot, thus limiting the connection plate. The small needle plate installation is complete. This utility model facilitates the individual replacement of the small needle plate, saving costs, time, and effort. Attached Figure Description
