Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of industrial sewing machines and discloses an automatic thread cutting device for industrial sewing machines, including a fixed frame. This utility model has the following advantages and effects: When it is necessary to cut the sewing thread, the electric telescopic rod can be controlled to move the limiting sliding plate, allowing the laser cutting head above the limiting sliding plate to contact the sewing thread. During the movement, the limiting sliding plate can drive the transmission gear to rotate via the toothed groove. The transmission gear can drive the rack to move in the opposite direction of the limiting sliding plate, thereby allowing the rack to drive the tensioning block to tension and straighten the sewing thread. The laser cutting head is then activated to cut the sewing thread. The cutting speed is fast, improving production efficiency. During the cutting process, the cut edge of the sewing thread melts instantly due to high temperature, forming a relatively smooth cross-section and reducing burrs. Since no blade directly contacts the sewing thread, operators do not face the risk of being cut by a blade when handling the yarn.

Factories that need sewing machines, such as those producing clothing, shoes, and hats, all use industrial sewing machines. Industrial sewing machines need to be used with a fully automatic thread-cutting device, which automatically cuts the thread when the sewing is finished.

[0003] In the existing technology, cutting sewing thread with scissors poses a risk of cuts to personnel when handling broken sewing thread. Furthermore, in the process of mass sewing production, the blades for cutting thread need to be replaced regularly to prevent the blades from becoming worn and unable to cut the sewing thread.

[0013] Preferably, a guide groove is provided on one side of the limiting plate, and the connecting frame is slidably installed on the inner side of the guide groove.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide groove allows the connecting frame to slide after being subjected to force, and allows the connecting frame to drive the moving felt plate to adsorb the sewing thread.

[0015] Preferably, a connecting groove is provided on one side of the connecting frame, and the cam fits into the connecting groove.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting groove allows the cam to drive the connecting frame, which is limited by the limiting plate, to perform reciprocating linear motion after rotation.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the filter element can filter the flue gas drawn in by the fan, preventing the flue gas caused by the laser cutting head during the cutting process from spreading.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] 1. This utility model, through the automatic thread-cutting component for industrial sewing machines, allows for the movement of a limit sliding plate via an electric telescopic rod when thread cutting is required. This movement brings the laser cutting head above the limit sliding plate into contact with the sewing thread. During movement, the limit sliding plate rotates a transmission gear via a toothed groove. This gear, in turn, moves a rack in the opposite direction to the limit sliding plate, causing the rack to engage a tensioning block to taut the thread. The laser cutting head then opens and cuts the thread. The fast cutting speed improves production efficiency. During the cutting process, the thread cut surface melts instantly at high temperatures, resulting in a relatively smooth cross-section and reducing burrs. Since no blade directly contacts the thread, operators are protected from hand injuries when handling the yarn.

[0023] 2. This utility model, through the industrial sewing machine anti-thread breakage component, enables the transmission gear to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft can drive the turntable and cam on one side to rotate. The centers of the cam and the turntable are different, allowing the turntable to drive the connecting frame and the movable felt plate, which are limited by the limiting plate, to reciprocate linearly. This allows the movable felt plate to abut against the fixed felt plate, allowing the sewing thread to be adhered to the middle of the fixed felt plate and the movable felt plate, making it easy for personnel to find the sewing thread.

During the movement, the limiting sliding plate 7 can drive the transmission gear 17 to rotate through the toothed groove 18. The transmission gear 17 can drive the rack 19 to move in the opposite direction of the limiting sliding plate 7, so that the rack 19 drives the tensioning block 20 to tension and straighten the sewing thread. The laser cutting head 11 is controlled to open and cut the sewing thread.

[0037] In this embodiment, the industrial sewing machine anti-thread breakage assembly 2 includes a turntable 21, a cam 22, and a limiting plate 23. The turntable 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating shaft 16, the cam 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the turntable 21, and the limiting plate 23 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed plate 8.

[0039] In this embodiment, a guide groove is provided on one side of the limiting plate 23, and the connecting frame 24 is slidably installed on the inner side of the guide groove; the guide groove allows the connecting frame 24 to slide after being subjected to force, and allows the connecting frame 24 to drive the moving felt plate 26 to move and adsorb the sewing thread.

[0040] In this embodiment, a connecting groove is provided on one side of the connecting frame 24, and the cam 22 fits into the connecting groove; during the rotation of the transmission gear 17, it can drive the rotating shaft 16 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 16 can drive the turntable 21 and the cam 22 on one side to rotate. The centers of the cam 22 and the turntable 21 are different, so that the turntable 21 can drive the connecting frame 24 and the moving felt plate 26, which are limited by the limiting plate 23, to perform reciprocating linear motion through the cam 22.

[0041] In this embodiment, a limiting groove is provided on one side of the fixed frame 3, and limiting blocks are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the limiting sliding plate 7.

[0043] Specifically, when the sewing thread needs to be cut, the electric telescopic rod 6 can be controlled to move the limiting sliding plate 7, allowing the laser cutting head 11 above the limiting sliding plate 7 to come into contact with the sewing thread. During the movement, the limiting sliding plate 7 can drive the transmission gear 17 to rotate via the toothed groove 18. The transmission gear 17 can drive the rack 19 to move in the opposite direction of the limiting sliding plate 7, thereby allowing the rack 19 to drive the tensioning block 20 to tension and straighten the sewing thread. The laser cutting head 11 is then activated to cut the sewing thread. The cutting speed is fast, which can improve production efficiency. During the cutting process, the cut edge of the sewing thread melts instantly due to the high temperature, forming a relatively smooth cross-section and reducing burrs. Since there is no need for the blade to directly contact the sewing thread, there is no risk of the operator cutting their palm when handling the thread. If fumes are generated during the cutting process... A flue gas sensor is installed inside the flue gas filtration duct 12. When flue gas is detected, the fan 13 is started, and the filter element 14 filters the flue gas inside the flue gas filtration duct 12, allowing the flue gas to be discharged after filtration. During the rotation of the transmission gear 17, the rotating shaft 16 is driven to rotate. The rotating shaft 16 can drive the turntable 21 and cam 22 on one side to rotate. The centers of the cam 22 and the turntable 21 are not the same, so the turntable 21 can drive the connecting frame 24 and the moving felt plate 26, which are limited by the limiting plate 23, to reciprocate linearly. This allows the moving felt plate 26 to abut against the fixed felt plate 25, allowing the sewing thread to be adhered in the middle of the fixed felt plate 25 and the moving felt plate 26, making it easy for personnel to find the sewing thread and preventing the sewing thread from becoming loose or flying out after cutting.
