Abstract
Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sewing machine technology, and specifically refers to an upper differential feeding mechanism for a sewing machine. Background technology:
[0002] The differential adjustment is to adapt to different types of fabrics. When sewing fabrics with high elasticity, it is necessary to adjust the differential to control the feed speed of the upper feed dog so that it is different from the feed speed of the active feed dog, thereby achieving a better sewing effect.
[0003] Currently, most differential adjustment mechanisms use automatic motor control. Additionally, mechanisms such as presser foot lifting and stitch length adjustment are also driven by motors. However, motors are typically mounted on the right side of the sewing machine, and the mounting space on the right side is limited. Therefore, it is necessary to rationally arrange the mounting positions of the drive motors for each mechanism of the sewing machine to facilitate the layout of other functional components. Summary of the Invention:
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a differential feeding mechanism for a sewing machine that facilitates the rational layout of other functional components of the sewing machine.
[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:
[0006] A differential feeding mechanism for a sewing machine includes a machine housing, an upper shaft, an upper feed dog, and an upper swing seat. The upper swing seat swings, causing the differential swing shaft to rotate and the upper feed dog to move back and forth. A drive motor is provided on the rear side of the machine housing. The drive motor includes an output shaft, which is connected to the crank portion of the control shaft of the upper swing seat via a drive assembly. The shaft portion of the control shaft of the upper swing seat is connected to one end of the upper swing seat, and the other end of the upper swing seat is connected to a fixing pin. The upper swing seat is rotatably connected to the machine housing via the shaft portion of the control shaft and the fixing pin. The upper swing seat also has a first feeding swing plate rotatably mounted on it. The first feeding swing plate is connected to the upper shaft via a feeding connecting rod pin, an upper differential connecting rod, and an upper differential cam. The first feeding swing plate is also connected to the differential swing shaft via a feeding connecting rod pin, a second feeding swing plate, a feeding connecting rod crank pin, and an upper feeding crank.
[0007] In the above-mentioned differential feeding mechanism of a sewing machine, the drive assembly includes a drive crank with one end fixed on the output shaft, and the other end of the drive crank is connected to the crank portion of the upper swing seat control shaft through the upper differential control drive linkage.
[0008] In the above-mentioned differential feeding mechanism of a sewing machine, the crank portion of the upper swing seat control shaft and the upper differential tooth control drive linkage are located outside the right side wall of the machine housing.
[0009] In the differential feeding mechanism of the sewing machine described above, the drive motor is fixed to the rear side of the machine housing via a motor bracket.
[0010] In the differential feeding mechanism of the sewing machine described above, a groove is provided on the rear side of the machine housing to embed the drive motor, and the motor bracket is fixed in the groove.
[0011] In the above-mentioned differential feeding mechanism of a sewing machine, the upper swing seat control shaft and the fixing pin are rotatably mounted on the sleeve, and the sleeve is fixed on the machine housing.
[0012] In the above-mentioned differential feeding mechanism of a sewing machine, a protective cover is provided outside the drive motor. The protective cover includes a cover body with one end open. Several fixing feet are provided at the open end of the cover body. Mounting holes are provided on the fixing feet. The protective cover is connected to the machine housing by fasteners passing through the mounting holes.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments:
[0024] like Figures 1-6 This utility model provides an upper differential feeding mechanism for a sewing machine. The sewing machine includes a housing 1, an upper shaft 2, an upper feed dog 3, and an upper swing seat 4. The upper swing seat 4 swings, driving the differential swing shaft 5 to rotate and causing the upper feed dog 3 to move back and forth. A drive motor 6 is provided on the rear side of the housing 1. The drive motor 6 includes an output shaft 7. The output shaft 7 is connected to the crank portion 9 of the upper swing seat control shaft 8 through a drive assembly. The shaft portion 10 of the upper swing seat control shaft 8 is connected to one end of the upper swing seat 4. The other end of the swing seat 4 is connected to the fixed pin. The upper swing seat 4 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 via the rotating shaft part 10 of the upper swing seat control shaft 8 and the fixed pin. The upper swing seat 4 is also rotatably provided with a first feeding swing plate 11. The first feeding swing plate 11 is connected to the upper shaft 2 via the feeding connecting rod pin, the upper differential connecting rod 12, and the upper differential cam 13. The first feeding swing plate 11 is also connected to the differential swing shaft 5 via the feeding connecting rod pin, the second feeding swing plate 14, the feeding connecting rod crank pin, and the upper feeding crank 15.
[0025] When the drive motor 6 operates, its shaft rotates, causing the drive assembly to move. The upper swing seat controls the rotation of the shaft 8, causing the upper swing seat 4 to rotate as well. The first feeding swing plate 11, the second feeding swing plate 14, and the upper feeding crank 15, connected to the upper swing seat 4, begin to swing, thereby driving the differential swing shaft 5 to rotate, ultimately achieving the forward and backward movement of the upper feed tooth 3. The forward and backward movement distance of the upper feed tooth 3 can be adjusted by the rotation amplitude of the output shaft 7 of the drive motor 6. This invention mounts the drive motor 6 on the rear side of the housing 1, thus reserving more space on the right side of the housing 1, facilitating the rational layout of other functional components of the sewing machine.
[0026] Generally, the drive motor 6 is a stepper motor, but in actual use, a servo motor or other type can also be used.
[0027] like Figures 1-5As shown, the drive assembly includes a drive crank 16 with one end fixed to the output shaft 7, and the other end of the drive crank 16 is connected to the crank portion 9 of the upper swing seat control shaft 8 via an upper differential tooth control drive linkage 17.
[0028] The drive assembly of this utility model includes a drive crank 16 and an upper differential tooth control drive connecting rod 17. It has a reasonable layout and compact structure. Moreover, by adopting a crank-connecting rod structure, it converts rotational motion into oscillation, resulting in high transmission efficiency.
[0029] Correspondingly, the crank portion 9 of the upper swing seat control shaft 8 and the upper differential tooth control drive linkage 17 are located outside the right side wall of the housing 1.
[0030] It should be noted that the drive motor 6 of this utility model is fixed to the rear side of the housing 1 by the motor bracket 18.
[0031] To shorten the distance between the output shaft of the drive motor and the control shaft 8 of the upper swing seat, this invention provides a groove 19 on the rear side of the housing 1 to embed the drive motor portion, and the motor bracket 18 is fixedly mounted in the groove 19. This arrangement makes the structure more compact and the transmission more stable.
[0032] The upper swing seat control shaft 8 of this invention has a rotating shaft portion 10 and a fixing pin rotatably mounted on a sleeve 20, which is fixed to the housing 1. The rotating shaft portion 10 and the fixing pin of the upper swing seat control shaft 8 are coaxially aligned, and the rotating shaft portion 10 and the fixing pin are rotatably connected to the sleeve 20, resulting in higher coaxiality and more flexible rotation after installation.
[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a protective cover 21 is provided outside the drive motor 6. The protective cover 21 includes a cover body with one open end. Several fixing feet 22 are provided at the open end of the cover body, and mounting holes 23 are provided on the fixing feet 22. The protective cover 21 is connected to the housing 1 by fasteners passing through the mounting holes 23. The cover body is provided with through holes 24 that correspond one-to-one in position and number to the mounting holes 23. Generally, the fasteners are screws, and a screwdriver is passed through the through holes 24 to tighten the screws at the mounting holes 23 onto the housing 1.
[0034] In addition, in order to improve the heat dissipation effect, the protective cover 21 of this utility model is provided with heat dissipation holes 25.
[0035] The above embodiments are only one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the shape, structure and principle of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
