[0022] 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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a presser foot 1; a lifting structure 2, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the presser foot 1; an adjusting structure 3, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting structure 2; the adjusting structure 3 includes a protective shell 31, a slide 36 symmetrically slidably connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 31, the bottom of the slide 36 being fixedly connected to the lifting structure 2, a lead screw 32 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 31, a slider 33 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 32, a spring 34 symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 33, and a support rod 35 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 31. In use, this sofa sewing presser foot mechanism, which facilitates adjustment of presser foot pressure, is mainly used in the sewing process of sofa manufacturing. It is connected to the transmission mechanism inside the sewing machine and aims to control the pressure of the presser foot on the sofa fabric to adapt to the sewing needs of fabrics of different materials and thicknesses, and ensure sewing quality.
[0024] The support rod 35 passes through the spring 34 and extends to both sides, and the bottom of the spring 34 is fixedly connected to the top of the carriage 36.
[0025] The inner wall of the slide 36 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the support rod 35. During operation, the initial pressure of the press foot is first adjusted by adjusting the adjustment structure 3. The protective shell 31 of the adjustment structure 3 contains the slide 36, the lead screw 32, the slider 33, the spring 34, and the support rod 35. First, the lead screw 32 is rotated. Since the lead screw 32 is threadedly connected to the slider 33, the slider 33 will move along the lead screw 32. One end of the spring 34 at the bottom of the slider 33 is fixed to the slider 33, and the other end is fixed to the top of the slide 36. The support rod 35 passes through the spring 34 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide 36. This allows the spring 34 to be compressed or stretched as the slider 33 moves. When the spring 34 is compressed downward, the downward pressure it exerts on the slide 36 increases, and vice versa.
[0026] The lifting structure 2 includes a support shell 21, with a worm gear 23, a worm wheel 24 and a gear 25 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support shell 21, and a rack 26 slidably connected to the inner wall of the support shell 21.
[0027] The outer wall of the worm 23 meshes with the outer wall of the worm wheel 24, and the outer wall of the gear 25 meshes with the outer wall of the rack 26.
[0028] The outer wall of the worm gear 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the gear 25, the bottom of the rack 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure foot plate 1, the top of the support shell 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide 36, and an anti-slip wheel 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the worm 23 away from the worm gear 24. Then, the lifting structure 2 further controls the up and down movement of the pressure foot plate 1, and the worm 23 inside the support shell 21 rotates. The worm 23 meshes with the outer wall of the worm gear 24, driving the worm gear 24 to rotate synchronously. The outer wall of the worm gear 24 is also fixedly connected to the outer wall of the gear 25, and the gear 25 meshes with the outer wall of the rack 26. The bottom of the rack 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the presser foot 1. Therefore, as the worm gear 24 and the gear 25 rotate, the rack 26 will drive the presser foot 1 to move up and down. During the sewing process, when the fabric thickness changes, the presser foot height can be adjusted in real time by rotating the worm gear 23. When encountering thinner fabric, rotating the worm gear 23 will lower the rack 26 and press down the presser foot 1 to ensure that the fabric is pressed tightly. When encountering thicker fabric, the operation is reversed. At the same time, the anti-slip wheel 22 at one end of the worm gear 23 allows the operator to manually apply force to rotate it, meeting the complex and varied process requirements of sofa sewing.
[0029] When in use, this sofa sewing presser foot mechanism, which is easy to adjust the presser foot pressure, is mainly used in the sewing process of sofa manufacturing. It is connected to the transmission mechanism inside the sewing machine and aims to control the pressure of the presser foot on the sofa fabric to adapt to the sewing needs of different materials and thicknesses of fabrics and ensure sewing quality.
[0030] During operation, the initial pressure of the presser foot is first adjusted by adjusting structure 3. The protective shell 31 of adjusting structure 3 contains a slide 36, a lead screw 32, a slider 33, a spring 34, and a support rod 35. First, the lead screw 32 is rotated. Since the lead screw 32 is threadedly connected to the slider 33, the slider 33 will move along the lead screw 32. One end of the spring 34 at the bottom of the slider 33 is fixed to the slider 33, and the other end is fixed to the top of the slide 36. The support rod 35 passes through the spring 34 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide 36. This allows the spring 34 to be compressed or stretched as the slider 33 moves. When the spring 34 is compressed downward, the downward pressure it exerts on the slide 36 increases, and vice versa.
[0031] Next, the lifting structure 2 further controls the up-and-down movement of the presser foot 1. The worm gear 23 inside the support shell 21 rotates, and the worm gear 23 meshes with the outer wall of the worm wheel 24, driving the worm wheel 24 to rotate synchronously. The outer wall of the worm wheel 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the gear 25, and the gear 25 meshes with the outer wall of the rack 26. The bottom of the rack 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the presser foot 1. Therefore, as the worm wheel 24 and the gear 25 rotate, the rack 26 will drive the presser foot 1 to move up and down. During the sewing process, when the fabric thickness changes, the presser foot height can be adjusted in real time by rotating the worm gear 23. When encountering thinner fabric, rotating the worm gear 23 causes the rack 26 to descend, and the presser foot 1 presses down to ensure that the fabric is pressed tightly. When encountering thicker fabric, the operation is reversed. At the same time, the anti-slip wheel 22 at one end of the worm gear 23 allows the operator to manually apply force to rotate it, meeting the complex and varied process requirements of sofa sewing.
