Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sewing equipment technology, and specifically refers to a chain stitch sewing machine. Background technology:

[0002] A chain stitch sewing machine is a specialized device that uses chain stitches for sewing. Unlike the common lockstitch (formed by interlacing top and bottom threads), the chain stitch uses only one or a single thread to form a continuous chain-like stitch through self-linking loops, giving it unique characteristics and applications.

[0003] The internal transmission structure of existing chain stitch sewing machines employs a highly specialized design. Its core transmission components (such as the feed mechanism, thread take-up mechanism, and feed dog structure) lack structural and specification commonality with corresponding components in ordinary flatbed sewing machines. This specialized design leads to two problems: First, manufacturers must establish separate production lines and stock dedicated spare parts for chain stitch sewing machines, increasing manufacturing complexity and significantly raising production costs and inventory management pressures. Second, during equipment maintenance, reliance on specialized parts and repair services with specific technical capabilities is essential, resulting in extended maintenance cycles, increased downtime, and ultimately higher maintenance costs for end users.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the transmission structure of chain stitch sewing machines to improve their commonality with flatbed sewing machines in terms of some parts. Summary of the Invention:

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a chain stitch sewing machine that can improve the versatility with flatbed sewing machines in terms of some parts, and reduce production and maintenance costs.
