[0002] Overlock machines are currently the primary overlock sewing equipment in the sewing industry. In actual sewing processes, frequent thread trimming and presser foot raising are required. Using cylinders or manual foot pedals for operation is inefficient, and different sewing processes require different configurations for different fabrics. This means that different fabrics have different feed rates, differential ratios, and tooth height requirements. Existing overlock machines require operators to manually adjust the differential ratio and tooth height, which often results in inaccurate positioning. Furthermore, the adjustment mechanisms are complex, demanding high operator skills, and disassembly and maintenance are extremely inconvenient.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN116180336A, published on May 30, 2023, is entitled "An Automatic Presser Foot Lifting, Thread Trimming, and Differential Ratio Adjustment Mechanism for Overlock Sewing Machines". Although this application can achieve the adjustment of presser foot lifting, thread trimming, differential ratio, and tooth height through a stepper motor, its overall structure is complex and the production cost is high.

It provides a motor-driven multi-functional structure for overlock sewing machines that simultaneously performs four actions: thread cutting, presser foot lifting, and adjustment of differential ratio and presser foot height. This highly automated integration enables automatic thread cutting and presser foot lifting, effectively reducing operator workload and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, differential adjustment and presser foot height adjustment are accomplished through the same set of adjuster components, further simplifying the overall structure and reducing production costs.

[0039] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0040] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a multi-functional motor-driven structure for an overlock sewing machine includes:

[0045] The tooth height adjustment component drives the tooth adjustment eccentric shaft 37 to rotate, thereby achieving tooth height adjustment.

[0046] This application utilizes a single drive motor to simultaneously achieve four actions: thread cutting, presser foot lifting, differential ratio adjustment, and tooth height adjustment. This high degree of automation and integration enables automatic thread cutting and presser foot lifting, effectively reducing operator workload and improving efficiency. Furthermore, the parameterized adjustment of the differential ratio and tooth height allows for rapid and intelligent adjustment of equipment performance parameters during product switching, reducing the skill requirements for operators and effectively addressing market demands for small-batch, high-return operations, as well as labor shortages and recruitment difficulties in the garment industry.

[0047] In one embodiment, the wire cutting assembly includes a small wire cutting lever 7 with one end cooperating with the wire cutting lifting foot cam assembly 5, and the other end of the small wire cutting lever 7 is connected to the large wire cutting lever 14; one end of the large wire cutting lever 14 is rotatably mounted on the frame 2, and the other end is connected to the wire cutting connecting rod 13; the end of the wire cutting connecting rod 13 away from the large wire cutting lever 14 is connected to the wire cutting drive rod 12, and the wire cutting drive rod 12 is fixedly mounted on the wire cutting knife assembly 10.

[0048] The drive motor 1 is fixed to the back of the housing via the frame 2. The drive motor 1 rotates counterclockwise, driving the wire-cutting lifting foot cam assembly 5 fixed on its output shaft to rotate counterclockwise. The wire-cutting lifting foot cam assembly 5 pushes the wire-cutting follower wheel 6 fixed at the lower end of the wire-cutting small lever 7. The wire-cutting follower wheel 6 drives the wire-cutting small lever 7 fixed on the wire-cutting large lever 14 to move upward. The wire-cutting small lever 7 drives the wire-cutting large lever 14 to swing upward. The wire-cutting large lever 14 drives the wire-cutting drive lever 12 fixed on the wire-cutting knife assembly 10 to swing upward through the wire-cutting connecting rod 13 at its right end. The wire-cutting drive lever 12 drives the wire-cutting knife shaft of the wire-cutting knife assembly 10 to rotate, thereby realizing the wire-cutting action.

[0049] A wire-cutting follower wheel 6 is provided at the end of the small wire-cutting lever 7, and a wire-cutting return spring 15 is provided on the large wire-cutting lever 14. The wire-cutting return spring 15 pushes the large wire-cutting lever 14 to rotate, and the large wire-cutting lever 14 drives the wire-cutting follower wheel 6 on the small wire-cutting lever 7 to abut against the wire-cutting lifting pressure foot cam 5. Therefore, when the drive motor 1 resets, the wire-cutting mechanism is driven to reset under the elastic force of the wire-cutting return spring 15, preparing for the next operation.

[0050] In one embodiment, the presser foot lifting assembly includes a large presser foot lever 3 with one end cooperating with the wire cutting presser foot cam assembly 5, and the other end of the large presser foot lever 3 is rotatably mounted on the frame 2. The two ends of the hook 19 are fixedly connected to the large presser foot lever 3 and the small presser foot lever 18, respectively. One end of the small presser foot lever 18 is fixed on the presser foot limiting ring 17, the presser foot limiting ring 17 is fixedly connected to the presser foot shaft 11, the presser foot shaft 11 is connected to the presser foot arm 9, and the end of the presser foot arm 9 is provided with a presser foot assembly 8.

[0051] The drive motor 1 rotates clockwise, driving the wire-cutting and lifting foot cam assembly 5 fixed on its output shaft to rotate clockwise. The wire-cutting and lifting foot cam assembly 5 presses down on the lifting foot follower wheel 4 fixed on the lifting foot large lever 3. The lifting foot follower wheel 4 drives the lifting foot large lever 3 to swing downward. The large lever 3 drives the lifting foot small lever 18 installed on the pressing foot shaft 11 to swing downward through the hook 19. The lifting foot small lever 18 drives the lifting foot lever limit ring 17 fixed on the pressing foot shaft 11 to swing downward. The lifting foot lever limit ring 17 drives the pressing foot shaft 11 to rotate counterclockwise. The pressing foot shaft 11 drives the pressing foot arm 9 fixed at its right end to swing upward. The pressing foot arm 9 drives the pressing foot assembly 8 fixed at its front end to move upward, realizing the lifting foot action. The drive motor 1 resets, and the original lifting foot structure drives the lifting foot structure to reset.

[0052] In one embodiment, an adjustment shaft 20 is provided on the wire-cutting and pressing foot cam assembly 5, and an adjuster assembly 21 is provided at the end of the adjustment shaft 20. The adjustment shaft 20 rotates counterclockwise to drive the adjuster assembly 21 to adjust the differential ratio, and the adjustment shaft 20 rotates clockwise to drive the adjuster assembly 21 to adjust the tooth height.

[0053] This application achieves differential adjustment and tooth height adjustment by adjusting the clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the adjusting shaft 20, thereby enabling the adjusting assembly 21 to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. This eliminates the need for two separate drive mechanisms to perform two different functions, resulting in a simpler overall structure.

[0054] The adjuster assembly 21 in this embodiment specifically includes: a first pawl mounting seat 21-4 fixed on the adjusting shaft 20, a first pawl 21-6 provided on the first pawl mounting seat 21-4, a first one-way bearing 21-8 provided on the frame 2, and a tooth height adjusting cam 21-7 fixedly provided on the inner ring of the first one-way bearing 21-8, the tooth height adjusting cam 21-7 abutting against the tooth height adjusting assembly;

[0055] A second one-way bearing 21-9 is provided on the frame 2. A differential ratio adjusting cam 21-10 is fixedly provided on the inner ring of the second one-way bearing 21-9. The adjusting shaft 20 passes through the first one-way bearing 21-8 and the second one-way bearing 21-9 and is fixedly connected to the second pawl mounting seat 21-13. A second pawl 21-11 is provided on the second pawl mounting seat 21-13. The differential ratio adjusting cam 21-10 abuts against the differential ratio adjusting component.

[0056] The outer rings of the first one-way bearing 21-8 and the second one-way bearing 21-9 are both fixedly mounted on the adjuster bracket 21-2.

[0057] In one embodiment, the differential ratio adjustment assembly includes a first differential adjustment lever 28, a second differential adjustment lever 26, and a third differential adjustment lever 32 connected in sequence; the end of the first differential adjustment lever 28 abuts against the regulator assembly 21; the first differential adjustment lever 28 and the second differential adjustment lever 26 are connected by a fixed shaft 30; the second differential adjustment lever 26 and the third differential adjustment lever 32 are connected by a differential adjustment link 31; the end of the third differential adjustment lever 32 away from the second differential adjustment lever 26 is connected to a fourth differential adjustment lever 35 through a differential adjustment shaft 34, and the fourth differential adjustment lever 35 is connected to a differential slide bar 38 through a differential link 36.

[0058] A differential follower wheel 27 is provided at the end of the first differential adjusting lever 28 away from the second differential adjusting lever 26; a differential return spring 29 is provided on the first differential adjusting lever 28, and the differential return spring 29 drives the first differential adjusting lever 28 to rotate, so that the differential follower wheel 27 can maintain contact with the regulator assembly 21.

[0059] The drive motor 1 rotates counterclockwise, driving the wire-cutting and lifting foot cam assembly 5 fixed on its output shaft to rotate counterclockwise. The wire-cutting and lifting foot cam assembly 5 drives the adjusting shaft 20 to rotate counterclockwise. The adjusting shaft 20 drives the second pawl mounting seat 21-13 on its shaft to rotate counterclockwise. The second pawl mounting seat 21-13 drives the second pawl 21-11 mounted on it to rotate counterclockwise. The second pawl 21-11 drives the differential ratio adjusting cam 21-10 mounted on the second one-way bearing 21-9 to rotate counterclockwise. The differential ratio adjusting cam 21-10 presses down on the differential follower wheel 27 mounted on the first differential adjusting lever 28. The differential follower wheel 27 drives the differential follower wheel 27 fixed on the first differential adjusting lever 28 to rotate counterclockwise. The first differential adjusting lever 28 on the fixed shaft 30 swings downward, causing the fixed shaft 30 to rotate counterclockwise. The fixed shaft 30 then causes the second differential adjusting lever 26 fixed at its end to swing upward. The second differential adjusting lever 26, through the differential adjusting linkage 31, causes the third differential adjusting lever 32 fixed on the differential adjusting shaft 34 to swing upward. The third differential adjusting lever 32 causes the differential adjusting shaft 34 to rotate clockwise. The differential adjusting shaft 34 then causes the fourth differential adjusting lever 35 fixed at its end to swing upward. The fourth differential adjusting lever 35, through the differential linkage 36, causes the differential slide bar 38 to move upward, thereby adjusting the differential ratio. Based on the physical characteristics of one-way bearings, the inner ring of the second one-way bearing 21-9 can rotate freely counterclockwise. Clockwise rotation will drive the outer ring of the second one-way bearing 21-9 to rotate synchronously. Because the outer ring of the second one-way bearing 21-9 is fixed inside the adjuster bracket 21-2 and cannot rotate, the inner ring of the second one-way bearing 21-9 cannot rotate clockwise. Furthermore, the differential ratio adjusting cam 21-10, which is fixed to its inner ring, cannot rotate clockwise, thus fixing the differential ratio parameter. When the drive motor 1 rotates counterclockwise one revolution, it drives the differential ratio adjusting cam 21-10 to rotate counterclockwise one revolution, and the differential ratio returns to its initial state.

[0060] In one embodiment, the tooth height adjustment assembly includes an adjusting rod 24 with one end abutting against the adjuster assembly 21, and the other end of the adjusting rod 24 is connected to the adjusting eccentric shaft 37; the adjusting eccentric shaft 37 is provided with an adjusting eccentric section, and the adjusting eccentric section is provided with an adjusting slider 22.

[0061] A tooth-adjusting return spring 23 is provided on the tooth-adjusting rod 24. The tooth-adjusting return spring 23 drives the tooth-adjusting rod 24 to rotate, so that the tooth-adjusting follower wheel 25 at the end of the tooth-adjusting rod 24 abuts against the adjuster assembly 21. The tooth-adjusting return spring 23 can provide a continuous restoring force to the tooth-adjusting rod 24, so that the tooth-adjusting rod 24 can maintain the reset state under the action of the tooth-adjusting return spring 23, and the tooth-adjusting follower wheel 25 can maintain contact with the adjuster assembly 21, thereby ensuring the response speed of the entire structure.

[0062] The drive motor 1 rotates clockwise, driving the wire-cutting and lifting foot cam assembly 5 fixed on its output shaft to rotate clockwise. The wire-cutting and lifting foot cam assembly 5 drives the adjusting shaft 20 to rotate clockwise. The adjusting shaft 20 drives the first pawl mounting seat 21-4 on its shaft to rotate clockwise. The first pawl mounting seat 21-4 drives the first pawl 21-6 mounted on it to rotate counterclockwise. The first pawl 21-6 drives the tooth height adjusting cam 21-7 mounted on the first one-way bearing 21-8 to rotate clockwise. The tooth height adjusting cam 21-7 presses down the tooth adjusting follower wheel 25 mounted on the tooth adjusting rod 24. The tooth adjusting follower wheel 25 drives the tooth adjusting rod 24 mounted on the tooth adjusting eccentric shaft 37 to swing downward. The tooth adjusting rod 24 drives the tooth adjusting eccentric shaft 37 to rotate counterclockwise. The tooth adjusting eccentric shaft 37 drives the tooth adjusting slider 22 fixed on its eccentric shaft section to move downward, thereby driving the tooth height to rise and realizing tooth height adjustment. Based on the physical characteristics of one-way bearings, the inner ring of the first one-way bearing 21-8 can rotate freely clockwise. Counterclockwise rotation will cause the outer ring of the first one-way bearing 21-8 to rotate synchronously. Because the outer ring of the first one-way bearing 21-8 is fixed within the adjuster bracket 21-2 and cannot rotate, the inner ring of the first one-way bearing 21-8 cannot rotate counterclockwise. Furthermore, the tooth height adjusting cam 21-7, fixed to its inner ring, cannot rotate counterclockwise, thus fixing the tooth height. When the drive motor 1 rotates clockwise one revolution, it causes the tooth height adjusting cam 21-7 to rotate clockwise one revolution, restoring the tooth height to its initial state.

[0063] This application utilizes a single drive motor to simultaneously achieve four actions: wire cutting, presser foot lifting, differential ratio adjustment, and tooth height adjustment. This high degree of automation and integration enables automatic wire cutting and presser foot lifting, effectively reducing operator workload and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, the parameterized adjustment of the differential ratio and tooth height allows for rapid and intelligent adjustment of equipment performance parameters during product switching, reducing the skill requirements for operators.

[0064] This application achieves differential ratio adjustment, tooth height adjustment, presser foot lifting, and wire cutting functions by rotating the output shaft of the drive motor 1. Furthermore, the adjustment shaft 20 drives the adjuster assembly 21, which rotates clockwise and counterclockwise to achieve differential adjustment and tooth height adjustment. This eliminates the need for two separate drive mechanisms to perform two different functions, resulting in a simpler overall structure.
