Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sewing equipment technology, specifically referring to a multi-functional drive device and sewing machine. Background technology:
[0002] Sewing machines are core production equipment in the garment manufacturing industry, and their performance directly affects the efficiency and quality of garment production. In recent years, market demands have changed rapidly, and the garment industry has gradually shown a new trend of "small orders, quick response," meaning small production batches that must be able to respond quickly to market demands. This trend forces garment factories to frequently change the fabrics used for sewing during the production process, and these fabrics vary in thickness and material. Therefore, when changing the sewing fabric, the height of the feed dog must be adjusted. Only in this way can the stable feeding effect be guaranteed, effectively preventing problems such as skipped stitches, thread breaks, fabric wrinkling, and uneven feeding.
[0003] Currently, adjusting the feed dog height is generally done manually, requiring maintenance personnel to operate the relevant parts of the sewing machine. Although maintenance personnel possess professional skills and can accurately perform the adjustment, in actual production scenarios, garment factories have a limited number of maintenance personnel, while the number of sewing machines on the production line is enormous.
[0004] When frequent adjustments to the feed dog height are needed to accommodate different fabrics, maintenance personnel are often unable to arrive on-site in time, forcing the machine to stop and wait, thus prolonging downtime and severely impacting production efficiency. In addition, manual adjustment suffers from a series of problems, including cumbersome procedures, low efficiency, and susceptibility to human error that can affect sewing quality. Summary of the Invention:
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional drive device and sewing machine that can automatically adjust the height of teeth to reduce reliance on workers.

The presser foot lifting crank is fixed on the presser foot shaft, and the presser foot lifting crank and the other end of the presser foot lifting lever abut against each other to drive the presser foot lifting shaft to rotate in one direction.
[0019] In the aforementioned multifunctional drive device, the wire cutting transmission mechanism includes a first drive lever and a second drive lever rotatably mounted on the housing. The first drive lever is in contact with the outer cam surface of the wire cutting cam. One end of the second drive lever is located below the first drive lever, and the other end is connected to one end of the wire cutting shaft of the wire cutting mechanism via a third connecting rod and a second crank.

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0032] Example 1: See Figure 1-6 :
[0033] This embodiment provides a multi-functional drive device applied to a sewing machine to drive thread cutting, presser foot lifting, tooth height adjustment, and tooth downward arching actions. It mainly includes a rotary drive source 1 and a cam mechanism. The rotary drive source 1 has a rotary output end 2. In this embodiment, the rotary drive source 1 is preferably a motor, and the corresponding rotary output end 2 is the motor's shaft. Furthermore, the cam mechanism of this embodiment includes a multi-functional cam 3, a presser foot lifting cam 4, and a thread cutting cam 5 disposed on the rotary output end 2. The multi-functional cam 3 includes a tooth height adjustment drive section 6 and a tooth downward arching drive section 7 arranged circumferentially. A presser foot lifting cam working area section 8 and a thread cutting cam working area section 9 are respectively disposed on both sides of the tooth height adjustment drive section 6. The presser foot lifting cam 4 has a presser foot lifting drive section 10 and a presser foot base circle section 11. The thread cutting cam 5 has a thread cutting drive section 12 and a thread cutting base circle section 13. The multi-functional cam 3 drives the tooth... The height adjustment transmission mechanism 14 is connected to the feed dog mechanism 15; the presser foot lifting cam 4 is connected to the presser foot mechanism 17 via the presser foot lifting transmission mechanism 16; the thread cutting cam 5 is connected to the thread cutting mechanism 19 via the thread cutting transmission mechanism 18; the presser foot lifting drive section 10 is set corresponding to the presser foot lifting cam working section 8, and the thread cutting drive section 12 is set corresponding to the thread cutting cam working section 9; the rotary drive source 1 drives the rotary output end 2 to rotate, thereby rotating the cam mechanism, and realizing thread cutting, presser foot lifting, tooth height adjustment, and tooth downward arching respectively without interference.
[0034] This invention uses a rotary drive source 1 to drive a multi-functional cam 3 to rotate. The tooth height adjustment drive section 6 on the multi-functional cam 3 drives the tooth height adjustment transmission mechanism and the feed tooth mechanism 15 to automatically adjust the tooth height. This solves the technical problem in the prior art that requires professional technicians to manually adjust the tooth height of the machine, reducing the reliance on maintenance personnel on the processing site and improving the operating efficiency of garment factories. In addition, this invention can also realize the execution of thread cutting, presser foot lifting, and lower tooth arching actions through the same rotary drive source 1, further improving production efficiency and reducing the production cost of enterprises.
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, further, the tooth height adjustment drive section 6, rotating counterclockwise, sequentially provides the factory tooth height 6a, the second tooth height 6b, the third tooth height 6c, the fourth tooth height 6d, and the fifth tooth height 6e. The distance from the cam surface to the cam center differs for each tooth height. However, the distance from the cam surface to the cam center is the same for the same tooth height. Generally, the angle for each tooth height setting is 15°.
[0036] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the tooth height adjustment transmission mechanism includes a first connecting rod 21, one end of which is rotatably connected to the end face of the rotary drive source 1 or the rotary drive source mounting plate 20. The other end of the first connecting rod 21 is connected to the tooth adjustment eccentric shaft 24 of the tooth feeding mechanism 15 via a second connecting rod 22 and a first crank 23. The rotary drive source 1 is mounted to the housing via the rotary drive source mounting plate 20.
[0037] To ensure timely reset of the first connecting rod 21, the first connecting rod 21 is connected to the end face of the rotary drive source 1 or the rotating mechanism of the rotary drive source mounting plate 20 via a shaft screw. A first reset torsion spring 25 for driving the first connecting rod 21 to reset is provided on the shaft screw. One end of the first reset torsion spring 25 is mounted on the housing, and the other end is connected to the first connecting rod 21.
[0038] In addition, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the presser foot lifting transmission mechanism 16 in this embodiment includes a presser foot lifting lever 26 and a presser foot lifting crank 27. A rolling element 28 is provided at one end of the presser foot lifting lever 26, and the rolling element 28 abuts against the cam surface of the presser foot lifting cam 4. In this embodiment, the rolling element 28 is a bearing, but a roller can also be used. The other end of the presser foot lifting lever 26 is fitted onto the presser foot shaft 29 of the presser foot mechanism 17 and rotates relative to the presser foot shaft 29. The presser foot lifting crank 27 is fixed to the presser foot shaft 29, and the presser foot lifting crank 27 abuts against the other end of the presser foot lifting lever 26 to drive the presser foot shaft 29 to rotate in one direction. This structure only interacts with the presser foot lifting crank 27 when the presser foot lifting cam 4 drives the presser foot lifting lever 26 to rotate downward around the presser foot shaft 29, thereby lifting the presser foot.
[0039] At the same time, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the wire cutting transmission mechanism 18 includes a first drive lever 30 and a second drive lever 31 rotatably mounted on the housing. The first drive lever 30 is in contact with the outer cam surface of the wire cutting cam 5. One end of the second drive lever 31 is located below the first drive lever 30, and the other end is connected to one end of the wire cutting shaft 34 of the wire cutting mechanism 19 through a third connecting rod 32 and a second crank 33.
[0040] Furthermore, one end of the second drive lever 31 is provided with a ball head 35, and the bottom surface of the first drive lever 30 has an arc-shaped surface, with the ball head 35 located below the arc-shaped surface.
[0041] The working principle of this utility model:
[0042] When the rotary drive source 1 rotates clockwise, the wire-cutting cam 5 drives the wire-cutting transmission mechanism 18, which in turn drives the wire-cutting mechanism 19 to perform wire cutting. At this time, the rolling element 28 rolls on the lifting foot base circle 11 of the lifting foot cam 4, and the lifting foot mechanism 17 does not perform the lifting foot action. The wire-cutting cam working section 9 on the multi-functional cam 3 acts on the first connecting rod 21, and the tooth height adjustment transmission mechanism 14 does not operate.
[0043] The rotary drive source 1 rotates counterclockwise, and its rotation within the tooth height adjustment drive section 6 of the multi-functional cam 3 enables tooth height adjustment. When the tooth height adjustment drive section 6 is in contact with the first connecting rod 21 at different positions, it drives the tooth height adjustment transmission mechanism 14 to adjust the required tooth height. At this time, the rolling element 28 rolls on the lifting foot base circle section 11 of the lifting foot cam 4, and the lifting foot mechanism 17 does not perform the lifting foot action. The wire cutting base circle section 12 of the wire cutting cam 5 acts on the first drive lever 30, and the wire cutting mechanism 17 does not perform the wire cutting action.
[0044] The rotary drive source 1 continues to rotate counterclockwise, and the rolling element 28 rolls in the lifting pressure foot drive section 10 of the lifting pressure foot cam 4. The lifting pressure foot cam 4 drives the pressure foot transmission mechanism 16 to drive the pressure foot mechanism 17 to lift the pressure foot. During the lifting of the pressure foot, when the multi-functional cam 3 rotates to the tooth lowering drive section 7 to drive the first connecting rod 21 to move downward, it drives the tooth height adjustment transmission mechanism 14 to move, thereby causing the feed tooth mechanism 15 to move downward to achieve the tooth lowering function. The wire cutting base circle section 12 of the wire cutting cam 5 acts on the first drive lever 30, and the wire cutting mechanism 17 does not perform the wire cutting action.
[0045] Example 2:
[0046] This embodiment provides a sewing machine that includes the multi-functional drive device described above.
[0047] The above embodiments are only one of the preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the shape, structure and principle of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
