[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an auxiliary support device for a flat sewing machine, including a fixed frame 1 and a machine frame 11. A machine head 12 is installed on the top of the machine frame 11, and an auxiliary support plate 13 is hinged to the front of the machine frame 11. An adjustment component is provided at the bottom of the machine frame 11, and an expansion component is provided on the auxiliary support plate 13. The adjustment component includes adjustment grooves 21 respectively opened on both sides of the top of the fixed frame 1, movable plates 22 respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the machine frame 11, sliding grooves 23 respectively opened on both sides of the bottom of the adjustment grooves 21, and a sliding groove 23 disposed in the sliding groove 23. The system includes a slider 24, a push rod 25 located between the slider 24 and the movable plate 22, a bidirectional screw 26 connected to the slider 24, and a drive component for rotating the bidirectional screw 26. The bidirectional screw 26 is screwed to the slider 24 and rotatably connected to the fixed frame 1. The slider 24 is slidably connected to the slide groove 23. The two ends of the push rod 25 are hinged to the movable plate 22 and the slider 24, respectively. When the two bidirectional screws 26 rotate, they can drive the two sliders 24 on the left and right sides to move in opposite directions, which in turn can drive the push rod 25 to push the movable plate 22 to move vertically. The two movable plates 22 move synchronously, thereby driving the frame 11 to move vertically. The height of the frame 11 can be adjusted to facilitate the use of the flat sewing machine by people of different heights. The driving components include gears 41 fixedly connected to the outside of the bidirectional screws 26, toothed belts 42 located on the outside of the two gears 41, and motors 43 fixedly connected to one end of one of the bidirectional screws 26. The two gears 41 are connected by a toothed belt 42. The motor 43 can drive the left bidirectional screw 26 to rotate, and through the gears 41 and toothed belts 42, it can drive the right bidirectional screw 26 to rotate, thereby enabling both bidirectional screws 26 to rotate. The rotation of both bidirectional screws 26 can be achieved using a single motor 43, which can reduce the cost of use and maintenance. Movable slots 51 are respectively opened on both sides of the adjusting slot 21. Movable blocks 52 are slidably connected in the movable slots 51. The movable blocks 52 are fixedly connected to the movable plates 22. The vertical movement of the movable plates 22 can drive the movable blocks 52 to move. The movable blocks 52 can improve the vertical movement stability of the movable plates 22 and prevent the movable blocks 52 from shifting horizontally.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 The expansion component includes an expansion groove 31 on the front of the auxiliary support plate 13, an expansion plate 32 in the expansion groove 31, a plurality of slots 33 evenly arranged on one side of the expansion plate 32, a through opening 34 on one side of the expansion groove 31, a locking rod 35 in the through opening 34, a pull plate 36 fixedly connected to one end of the locking rod 35, and a spring 37 sleeved on the outside of the locking rod 35. The locking rod 35 is inserted into the slots 33 and slidably connected to the through opening 34. Next, the expansion plate 32 is slidably connected to the expansion groove 31. The two ends of the spring 37 are fixedly connected to the auxiliary support plate 13 and the pull plate 36, respectively. By pulling the pull plate 36, the locking rod 35 can be moved, and the spring 37 deforms accordingly. The locking rod 35 moves away from the current locking groove 33, which can release the expansion plate 32. The expansion plate 32 can move within the expansion groove 31, and the usable area of ​​the auxiliary support plate 13 can be quickly adjusted. When the spring 37 returns to its original position, it can drive the locking rod 35 to engage with the locking groove. Within 33, the adjusted expansion plate 32 can be fixed to prevent it from resetting, thus providing auxiliary support for fabrics of different sizes. Limiting rods 61 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the expansion groove 31. Limiting grooves 62 are opened on both sides of the back of the expansion plate 32. The limiting rods 61 and the limiting grooves 62 are slidably connected. When the expansion plate 32 moves, the limiting rods 61 can slide within the limiting grooves 62 to restrict the expansion plate 32 and prevent it from detaching from the expansion groove 31. A handle 71 is fixedly connected to one side of the expansion plate 32. The handle 71 is T-shaped and can be used to easily pull the expansion plate 32 to move it, thus changing the usable area of ​​the auxiliary support plate 13. A top plate 81 is provided on one side of the bottom of the frame 11. The top plate 81 is rotatably connected to the frame 11 and can rotate to support the horizontal auxiliary support plate 13 and prevent it from rotating and resetting.

[0028] Working principle: During operation, when the height of the frame 11 needs to be adjusted, the motor 43 is started. The motor 43 drives the left bidirectional screw 26 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 41 to rotate. Through the toothed belt 42, the right gear 41 rotates, which in turn drives the right bidirectional screw 26 to rotate. The rotation of the two bidirectional screws 26 drives the two sliders 24 on the left and right sides to move in opposite directions, which in turn drives the push rod 25 to push the moving plate 22 to move. The movement of the two moving plates 22 drives the frame 11 to move vertically, thereby adjusting the vertical height of the frame 11 to facilitate the use of the flat sewing machine by different personnel. When the fabric is large, the auxiliary support plate 13 can be rotated to a horizontal state, and then the top plate 81 can be rotated to the auxiliary support plate 13. The bottom of the auxiliary support plate 13 can be supported to prevent it from rotating and resetting. When the area of ​​the auxiliary support plate 13 is insufficient, the pull plate 36 can be pulled, and the pull rod can drive the locking rod 35 to disengage from the slot 33. At the same time, the spring 37 deforms accordingly. Then, the handle 71 can be pulled to move the expansion plate 32 to a suitable position. The pull plate 36 is released, and the spring 37 resets, driving the locking rod 35 to reset and lock it into the slot 33. This can fix the adjusted expansion plate 32 and prevent it from resetting, thereby increasing the usable area of ​​the auxiliary support plate 13 to support larger fabrics. The above is the working process of the entire device. All contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
