Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "mounted on" another component, it can be directly mounted on the other component or may be interspersed with a component. When a component is said to be "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or may be interspersed with a component. When a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly fixed to the other component or may be interspersed with a component.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sewing machine includes a frame 1 and a sewing platform 2 located on the frame 1. The presser foot assembly is connected to the frame 1 and is located on the upper part of the sewing platform 1. The presser foot assembly includes a bracket 3 and a pressure plate 4 connected to the lower part of the bracket 3.

[0026] The pressure plate 4 includes a flat plate body 4f. The lower part of the pressure plate 4f is a flat pressing surface 4a. The upper part of the pressure plate 4 has a protruding hinge part 4d. The hinge part 4d is hinged to the lower end of the bracket 3 by a pin 6. Both ends of the plate body 4f have smoothly transitioned guide parts. The side of the plate body 4f also has a recessed guide notch 4e. There is an elastic pre-tightening structure between the bracket 3 and the hinge part 4d. Under the action of the elastic pre-tightening structure, the pressing surface 4a of the plate body 4f tends to abut against the sewing platform 2.

[0027] Under the action of the elastic pre-tightening component, the pressure plate 4 tends to abut against the sewing platform 2, and the fabric at the sewing platform 2 can be stably pressed between the pressure plate 4 and the sewing platform 2.

[0028] Because the preload of spring 5 is limited, the fabric can pass smoothly through the presser foot assembly under external force. Of course, the main function of the presser foot assembly is to flatten the fabric on the sewing platform 2, ensuring that the decorative parts can be stably sewn onto the fabric.

[0029] The output end of the conveying component is connected to the port of the guide notch 4e. Therefore, the decorative piece discharged from the conveying component enters the guide notch 4e, which allows the decorative piece to enter the set seam of the fabric stably.

[0030] It can be seen that even if the conveying component is far from the presser foot component, the decorative part can still be stably inserted into the presser foot component under the action of the guide notch 4e.

[0031] The guide section includes a front guide section 4b and a rear guide section 4c, which are located at both ends of the plate 4f, respectively.

[0032] When the fabric enters the presser foot assembly, it first passes through the front guide section 4b. After the decorative parts and fabric are sewn together, the sewn fabric is smoothly discharged from the rear guide section 4c.

[0033] The front guide section 4b and the rear guide section 4c are designed to prevent the fabric from getting stuck between the fabric and the presser foot assembly, thereby improving the smoothness of the fabric passing through the presser foot assembly.

[0034] Both the front guide portion 4b and the rear guide portion 4c are arc-shaped, and the ends of both the front guide portion 4b and the rear guide portion 4c are located on the upper part of the plate 4f.

[0035] The arc length of the front guide portion 4b is greater than the arc length of the rear guide portion 4c.

[0036] Since the fabric is most prone to jamming with the front guide part 4b, the front guide part 4b with a larger arc length can effectively prevent jamming.

[0037] The guide notch 4e is located on the side of the plate 4f between the front guide part 4b and the hinge part 4d.

[0038] Because the strength at the hinge 4d is relatively high, this ensures that the entire presser foot assembly has sufficient strength.

[0039] The lower part of the bracket 3 has a recessed positioning hole 3a, and a spring 5 is located at the positioning hole 3a. The upper end of the spring 5 is embedded in the positioning hole 3a, and the lower end of the spring 5 abuts against the plate 4f. The spring 5 is located at the plate 4f between the hinge part 4d and the rear guide part 4c.

[0040] Under the elastic force of spring 5, the front guide part 4b can be guaranteed to have a slight upward tendency, and the fabric is mainly pressed against the sewing platform 2 by the plate 4f at the rear guide part 4c.

[0041] This structure not only positions the fabric, but also ensures that the fabric does not encounter much resistance when passing through the presser foot assembly, allowing the sewn fabric to pass stably through the presser foot assembly.

[0042] The spring 5 is a conical spring, and the outer diameter of the upper end of the spring 5 is smaller than that of the lower end.

[0043] The depth of the guide notch 4e is 2 / 3 of the width of the plate 4f. Depending on the actual situation, a depth of 4 / 5 of the width of the plate 4f is also feasible.

[0044] This structure ensures that the plate 4f has sufficient strength while also allowing the decorative parts to stably enter the set position of the sewing platform 2.

[0045] The guide notch 4e is adjacent to the hinge portion 4d.

[0046] The hinge portion 4d includes hinge pieces 4d1 that protrude upwards on both sides of the plate 4f. The lower end of the bracket 3 is embedded between the two hinge pieces 4d1, and the bracket 3 and the two hinge pieces 4d1 are hinged by a pin 6.

[0047] The gap between the lower end of the bracket 3 and the two hinge pieces 4d1 is matched, and under the action of the pin 6, the entire pressure plate 4 can be stably hinged to the lower end of the bracket 3.

[0048] The presser foot assembly of this sewing machine features a guide recess on the presser plate for guiding decorative parts. This guide recess extends from one side of the plate to the center. After the decorative parts discharged from the conveyor assembly enter the guide recess, they can stably enter the set seam on the sewing platform. Therefore, this not only improves the sewing stability between the decorative parts and the fabric, but also keeps the conveyor assembly as far away from the presser foot assembly as possible, avoiding mutual interference between the two components, further enhancing its stability and making it highly practical.

[0049] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0050] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the scope of the essential spirit of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present utility model.
