Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of embroidery machine equipment and relates to an embroidery machine thread breakage light alarm device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, textile companies commonly use embroidery machines for embroidery, and thread breaks frequently occur during the process. Existing embroidery machines only have ordinary red LEDs on the machine head plate as thread breakage detection alarms. Due to space limitations and the voltage used in the machine head plate, the alarm lights are small and insufficiently bright. Embroiderers can only see a thread breakage alarm on a particular machine head when they are directly in front of and very close to the machine. Because embroiderers cannot detect thread breaks in time, it affects the quality of the embroidered products, reduces production efficiency, and increases the company's operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a light alarm device for embroidery machine thread breakage.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a thread breakage light alarm device for an embroidery machine, including an embroidery machine table, on which multiple lights are provided, and a control unit for controlling the lights. The control unit is electrically connected to the CAN bus of the embroidery machine table. When the thread breaks at the machine head during processing, the CAN bus of the embroidery machine table feeds back to the control unit, and the control unit controls the light strip to produce a special effect.

[0005] In the above-mentioned embroidery machine thread breakage light alarm device, the embroidery machine table is provided with a mounting frame, and the lighting lamp is installed on the mounting frame.

[0006] In the above-mentioned embroidery machine thread breakage light alarm device, the lighting lamp is equipped with a lampshade.

[0007] In the above-mentioned embroidery machine thread breakage light alarm device, the control unit is an LED controller.

[0008] Compared with the existing technology, this utility model adds a light communication control function to the existing lighting system. When applied to multi-head or super multi-head embroidery machines, if a thread breaks in a certain head, or if various device models or devices malfunction, the machine's own thread frame light can be used to locate the faulty head by adding lighting effects, thereby guiding personnel to the site for quick handling. Attached Figure Description

[0009] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model;

[0010] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Enlarged view of point A in the middle.

[0011] In the picture, 1. Embroidery machine; 2. Mounting frame; 3. Lampshade; 4. Lighting lamp. Detailed Implementation

[0012] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0013] Example

[0014] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embroidery machine thread breakage light alarm device includes an embroidery machine platform 1, on which multiple lights 4 are provided, and a control unit for controlling the lights 4 is also included. The control unit is electrically connected to the CAN bus of the embroidery machine platform 1, and the control unit is an LED controller.

[0015] The lighting lamp 4 can be composed of multiple individually controllable LED beads. The LED controller can individually control the switching and brightness adjustment of the LED beads. The LED strip uses 24V power supply and is driven by constant current to effectively protect the LED beads.

[0016] When the embroidery machine head breaks during processing, the CAN bus of the embroidery machine 1 sends feedback to the control unit, which then controls the lighting lamp 4 to produce special effects.

[0017] Furthermore, the embroidery machine 1 is provided with a mounting frame 2, and the lighting lamp 4 is mounted on the mounting frame 2.

[0018] Furthermore, the lighting lamp 4 is equipped with a lampshade 3. The mounting bracket 2 is made of special aluminum profile, which ensures convenient installation while providing a certain degree of heat dissipation. The outer end of the aluminum profile is connected to the lampshade 3, thereby making the light emission softer and more uniform.

[0019] When a wire breaks off at one of the machine heads, or when the device malfunctions, the CAN bus sends the address code of the faulty machine head. Upon receiving this command, the LED controller calculates the position of the corresponding LED beads based on the number of heads and the spacing between them. The controller then drives the LEDs to produce special effects to guide manual on-site handling. These effects include various working modes, such as flashing, flowing light, and breathing light, among others. Users can configure the guidance method after a wire break via the control panel.

[0020] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
