[0023] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4As shown, an automatic thread cutting device for a sofa cushion overlock machine includes an overlock machine 1. A fixing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the overlock machine 1. A thread cutting assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixing plate 2. A workbench 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the overlock machine 1. An intelligent control assembly 5 is provided on the surface of the workbench 4. The thread cutting assembly 3 includes a drive motor 31 fixedly connected to the workbench 4 near the surface of the overlock machine 1. A brake structure is provided on the back of the drive motor 31. A connecting rod 32 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 31. A cutting blade 33 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 32. An electric heating rod 34 is sleeved inside the cutting blade 33. A clamping plate 35 is rotatably connected to one end of the cutting blade 33. A sleeve 36 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the clamping plate 35. A spring 37 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the sleeve 36. A sliding rod 38 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the spring 37. The sliding rod 38 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 36 and its top end is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixing plate 2.

[0025] During operation, the heating rod 34 inside the cutting blade 33 is heated by the control board 52 (model Siemens LOGO! 8 12 / 24RCE) to keep the cutting blade 33 at a high temperature during the cutting process. When the drive motor 31 drives the cutting blade 33 to rotate downward through the connecting rod 32, the high-temperature blade engages with the cutting groove on the surface of the worktable 4, and uses shearing force and melting action to cut the seam simultaneously, reducing mechanical friction wear on the blade. At the same time, the spring 37, after being compressed, slides back through the slide rod 38 in the sleeve 36 to accelerate the reset of the cutting blade 33, thereby increasing the cutting frequency and the blade's service life.

[0026] Furthermore, the intelligent control component 5 includes a sleeve hole opened on the surface of the workbench 4 and an infrared sensor 51 sleeved in the sleeve hole. The infrared sensor 51 is electrically connected to a control board 52, and the control board 52 is electrically connected to a drive motor 31.

[0027] During operation, the Omron E3Z-T61 infrared sensor 51 is embedded in the sleeve hole of the worktable 4. When it detects that the fabric overlocking is complete, it sends a signal to the control board 52. The control board 52 triggers the drive motor 31 to start and precisely controls the rotation angle through the brake structure, driving the cutting blade 33 to rotate around the clamping plate 35 to complete the cutting action.

[0028] Furthermore, the surface of the worktable 4 is provided with a cutting groove that matches the cutting blade 33, and a groove is provided adjacent to the cutting groove;

[0029] During operation, the cutting groove on the surface of the worktable 4 perfectly matches the shape of the cutting blade 33. When the drive motor 31 rotates the cutting blade 33 downwards, the blade embeds itself in the cutting groove to form a closed shearing surface, ensuring that the thread is precisely cut. The control plate 52 is embedded in the groove adjacent to the cutting groove. The depth of the groove matches the thickness of the sealing plate 6. The sealing plate 6 is fixed to the surface of the groove with screws, keeping the worktable 4 flat and preventing the fabric from being obstructed by the protruding structure when moving. This structure improves cutting accuracy and shearing efficiency through the guiding effect of the cutting groove, optimizes space utilization through the hidden layout of the groove and the control plate 52, and protects the control plate 52 from external dust contamination by the sealing plate 6.

[0030] Furthermore, the control panel 52 is located inside a groove on the surface of the workbench 4, and a sealing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the groove.

[0031] During operation, the control board 52 is installed in a groove on the surface of the workbench 4. The bottom of the groove has a fixing clip and heat dissipation holes. The control board 52 is fixed to the inner wall of the groove with screws. The sealing plate 6 covers the groove opening and is tightly fitted to the surface of the workbench 4 with a sealing strip, ensuring that the control board 52 is isolated from the external environment. This structure, through the protective design of the groove, prevents the control board 52 from being damaged by mechanical impact during fabric handling or cutting. The sealing performance of the sealing plate 6 prevents liquid or lint from entering, extending the service life of the control board 52.

[0032] Working principle: After the sofa cushion fabric completes the overlocking operation on the overlocking machine 1, the infrared sensor 51 on the surface of the worktable 4 detects the fabric movement signal and transmits it to the control board 52. The control board 52 synchronously starts the drive motor 31 and the heating rod 34. The heating rod 34 heats the cutting blade 33 to reach its melting temperature. The drive motor 31 drives the cutting blade 33 to rotate downward around the rotation point of the clamping plate 35 through the connecting rod 32. The cutting blade 33 embeds into the cutting groove on the surface of the worktable 4 to form a shearing force. At the same time, the spring 37 is stopped by the sliding of the slide rod 38 in the sleeve 36. The spring 37 releases its elastic potential energy to accelerate the cutting motion of the blade when it contacts the thread, and the high temperature melting effect quickly cuts the thread. After the cutting is completed, the drive motor 31 is precisely braked by the brake structure, and the control board 52 controls the drive motor 31 to reset in the opposite direction. The cutting blade 33 is removed from the cutting groove and is supported by the clamping plate 35 to return to its initial position. The spring 37 only provides instantaneous acceleration during the cutting phase. The reset action is completed independently by the drive motor 31. The control board 52 in the groove sealed by the sealing plate 6 continuously monitors the infrared signal and responds to the next operation cycle.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or similar improvements made within the theoretical and principle content of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
