[0029] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , more specifically, positioning plate 6, driving motor 7 and guide block 8 driven and moved by driving motor 7 are further installed on base 1, positioning plate 6 is parallel to positioning column 5 and vertically arranged, positioning plate 6 is provided with positioning groove 6a, the side wall of guide block 8 is provided with protruding guide part 8a, guide block 8 is sleeved on positioning column 5, and guide part 8a of guide block 8 is clamped in positioning groove 6a of positioning plate 6.
[0030] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , more specifically, crank 9 is arranged on driving motor 7, connecting rod 10 is arranged between crank 9 and guide block 8, one end of crank 9 is sleeved on the output shaft of driving motor 7, the other end of crank 9 is inserted on one end of connecting rod 10 through first bearing 11, crank 9 is connected to the outer ring of first bearing 11, the bottom of guide block 8 is inserted on the other end of connecting rod 10 through second bearing 12, and guide block 8 is connected to the inner ring of second bearing 12.
[0031] Preferably, the positioning plate 6 is in the shape of a U with the opening facing the rotating hook 3; and the wire slot 4a is in the shape of a V or a U.
[0032] The working principle of the horizontal rotating hook sewing machine is described as follows:
[0033] The rotating hook 3 has a thread outlet 3a for the bottom thread to pass through, and the vertical plane in which the axis of the rotating hook 3 and the center line of the drop needle hole 2a are located is the first critical plane A, and the inclined plane in which the thread outlet 3a of the rotating hook 3 and the drop needle hole 2a are connected is the second critical plane B. When the hook tip of the rotating hook moves to the needle, the area between the side of the first critical plane A facing away from the thread outlet and the side of the second critical plane B facing away from the hook tip is the reverse stitch area a, and the remaining area is the forward stitch area b. For a certain computerized horizontal rotating hook sewing machine or the same type of computerized horizontal rotating hook sewing machine, since the structure (including the type, installation position, thread hooking direction of the rotating hook 3, position of the thread outlet 3a, and position of the needle) is determined, the first critical plane A and the second critical plane B are also determined, and the reverse stitch area a and the forward stitch area b are also determined. The needle point track refers to the track of the continuous puncture needle points formed by the needle on the sewing material during the sewing process. In simple terms, it is the route that the needle "walks" on the sewing material, and the distance between two adjacent needle points is the needle pitch. After the needle point track and the movement instructions of the feeding template are determined, the moving path of the sewing material is determined.
[0034] During operation, the fabric is fixed on the feed template of the horizontal rotary hook sewing machine and moved by the feed template. The needle point trajectory is obtained according to the sewing pattern, and the movement command of the feed template is determined based on the needle point trajectory. The feed template moves the fabric to one of the needle points on the needle point trajectory according to the movement command to sew the first stitch. Then, the feed template continues to move the fabric to the next stitch position according to the movement command and performs the following steps: If the previous stitch point is outside the reverse stitch area a, the needle moves downwards to bring the top thread to the bottom of the needle plate, and the rotary hook interweaves the top thread and bottom thread to form a stitch; if the previous stitch point is inside the reverse stitch area a, the drive motor 7 controls the movement of the thread guide lever 4 (specifically, the drive motor 7 drives the crank 9 connected to its output shaft to rotate synchronously, and the crank 9 drives the connecting rod 10 connected to it to rotate, but because the other end of the connecting rod 10 is connected to a guide block 8 locked in the positioning groove 6a of the positioning plate 6, the connecting rod 10 can only drive...). The guide block 8 moves along the positioning groove 6a. Simultaneously, the guide block 8 drives the positioning post 5 connected to it to move synchronously. The forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor 7 enables the thread-picking lever 4 connected to the positioning post 5 to move back and forth relative to the machine base 1 on both sides of the first critical surface A. This causes the groove wall of the thread-picking groove 4a on the thread-picking lever 4 to act on the bottom thread between the rotary hook 3 and the needle plate 2 (the portion of the bottom thread below the needle plate 2 is slightly inclined from the thread outlet 3a towards the needle drop hole 2a; during movement, the V-shaped or U-shaped thread-picking groove 4a on the thread-picking lever 4, located between the needle drop hole 2a and the rotary hook 3, can smoothly capture this portion of the bottom thread located below the needle plate 2 and close to the needle drop hole 2a). This causes a portion of the bottom thread to cross the axis of the needle. Then, the needle moves downwards, bringing the top thread below the needle plate 2. The thread-picking lever 4 releases the bottom thread, and the rotary hook 3 interweaves the top thread and bottom thread to form a stitch. The above steps are repeated continuously, and subsequent sewing is performed according to the needle point trajectory obtained from the sewing pattern. (Refer to...) Figure 5 The diagram clearly shows the state of the bobbin thread before and after the thread lever 4 moves. In the diagram, the thick solid line T represents the position of the bobbin thread between the rotary hook 3 and the needle plate 2 when the thread lever 4 is not performing the thread-pulling action. The thin solid line t represents the position of the bobbin thread between the rotary hook 3 and the needle plate 2 after the thread lever 4 performs the thread-pulling action. As can be seen from the thin solid line t, a portion of the bobbin thread crosses the axis of the needle. When the needle moves downwards and brings the top thread below the needle plate 2, the thread lever 4 releases the bobbin thread. At this point, due to the obstruction of the needle, the bobbin thread cannot return to its initial position. Thus, during the tightening process as the needle moves upwards, both the bobbin thread and the top thread on the fabric are on the same side of the top thread on the needle. This prevents the top thread on the needle from being... Figure 7 Similarly, the fabric is tightened by passing the thread between the bottom thread and the top thread, thus preventing the top thread from tangling with the bottom thread, ultimately forming a shape like... Figure 6 The positive line trace shown.
