Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive seat and automotive interior sewing technology, and is mainly applied to the sewing of leather materials. Specifically, it relates to a rotary hook box for a leather sewing machine that can rotate at will. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of industrial sewing equipment, the rotary hook, as the core component for achieving stitch weaving, directly determines sewing efficiency, stitch quality, and the applicability of the equipment. Traditional rotary hook structures (such as horizontal and vertical rotary hooks) mainly rely on unidirectional rotation drive mechanisms and mechanical transmission systems, which have the following technical bottlenecks:
[0003] 1. Speed limitation: Due to the mechanical inertia and friction loss of gear and cam transmission systems, the maximum speed of traditional rotary hooks is usually limited, making it difficult to break through the efficiency ceiling in high-speed sewing scenarios.
[0004] 2. Limited Direction Control: Traditional rotary hooks rely on a fixed transmission path with a preset rotation direction (clockwise or counterclockwise), which cannot achieve dynamic direction switching during a single sewing process. This results in complex stitches (such as spiral stitches and multi-directional corner stitches) requiring frequent machine stops for adjustment, significantly reducing processing continuity.
[0005] 3. High mechanical complexity and maintenance costs: The transmission chain contains redundant components such as multi-stage gear sets and clutches. Long-term high-speed operation can easily lead to component wear and lubrication failure, which in turn leads to an increase in wire skipping and breakage rates, and increases the frequency of equipment maintenance.
[0006] Therefore, in response to the above-mentioned technical pain points, a rotary shuttle box system that can rotate arbitrarily and work efficiently was designed. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a rotary hook box for a leather sewing machine with arbitrary rotation.
