Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of testing fixture technology, and relates to a testing fixture for the tension of sewing machine thread. Background Technology
[0002] The purpose of tension control in sewing machine thread is to control the thread exit speed. The tighter the thread clamp of the sewing machine, the greater the tension, and the slower the thread exits; conversely, the looser the thread clamp, the smaller the tension, and the faster the thread is pulled out.
[0003] After a sewing machine finishes production, the tension control of the sewing thread needs to be tested and adjusted. Existing sewing machine thread tension detection and adjustment devices, such as the one disclosed in Chinese patent literature [Patent No.: 202020528557.3; Application Publication No.: CN212247460U], include a thread delivery mechanism, a winding mechanism, a tension tester, and a limiting mechanism for restricting the path of the thread. The thread delivery mechanism contains the thread to be tested, and the tension tester has a detection head for pressing the thread. The thread extends from the thread delivery mechanism, which includes a thread clamp and a needle. The beginning of the thread is fixed to the thread clamp, and the end of the thread is fixed and wound around the winding mechanism. The thread passes through the limiting mechanism, which adjusts the thread angle so that the detection head is aligned with the thread. The detection head of the tension tester presses against the thread passing through the limiting mechanism and measures the current tension value of the thread.
[0004] In this type of thread tension detection and adjustment device, the needle and the limiting mechanism are staggered horizontally, resulting in significant thread bending, which does not match the actual sewing environment and reduces the accuracy of thread tension detection. Furthermore, this type of device performs the detection after the thread tension clamp assembly is installed in the sewing machine; failure to meet the requirements leads to cumbersome adjustments, and some thread tension clamp assemblies that cannot be adjusted properly need to be removed again, making the process inconvenient. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing a testing fixture for the tension of sewing machine thread, thereby solving the technical problem of how to improve the testing accuracy.
[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A testing fixture for the tension of sewing machine thread includes a base plate, characterized in that it further includes a speed-regulating motor and a mounting plate fixedly connected to the base plate, a bobbin fixedly connected to the output shaft of the speed-regulating motor, the mounting plate being arranged vertically, a fixing module for mounting a thread clamp assembly fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate, a fixing frame for mounting a tension tester fixedly connected to the middle of the mounting plate, the fixing module being located directly above the fixing frame, a column for mounting a thread spool fixedly connected to the base plate, the column being adjacent to the mounting plate, and two reversing columns fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate, with a gap between the two reversing columns for the thread to pass through.
[0007] The thread clamp assembly of the sewing machine is installed on a fixed module, and a tension tester is fixed in a fixed frame. The thread spool is placed outside the uprights. The top thread is pulled out of the spool and passed through the gap between the two reversing posts, then through the thread clamp assembly and the tension tester, and finally wound onto the bobbin. The motor is started to move the top thread, and the tension of the top thread is detected by the tension tester. This fixed module is located directly above the fixed frame, simulating the actual path of the top thread in a sewing machine, thus improving the detection accuracy of the testing fixture. This testing fixture installs the manufactured thread clamp assembly onto the fixed module to test and adjust the tightness of the thread clamp assembly, ensuring the quality of the thread clamp assembly. After passing the test, it is then assembled into the sewing machine, avoiding the need to disassemble the thread clamp assembly in the sewing machine. The tension tester is existing technology and can be purchased directly from the market.
[0008] In the aforementioned testing fixture for sewing machine thread tension, the fixing frame includes an upper fixing plate, a lower fixing plate, and several support columns. All the support columns are located between the upper and lower fixing plates and locked by fasteners. A clearance space exists between the upper and lower fixing plates for the tension tester to be partially embedded. Several fixing bolts are fixedly connected to the upper fixing plate, and the shanks of the fixing bolts can extend into the clearance space. This structure allows the tension tester to be positioned simply by embedding it without damaging it. Furthermore, the fixing bolts facilitate easy assembly, disassembly, and testing.
[0009] In the aforementioned testing fixture for sewing machine thread tension, one side of the mounting plate has an upper fixing groove and a lower fixing groove arranged horizontally and spaced apart. The upper fixing plate is partially and tightly embedded in the upper fixing groove, and the lower fixing plate is partially and tightly embedded in the lower fixing groove. This structure allows the fixing frame and the mounting plate to fit more tightly, improving the firmness of the fixing frame connection.
[0010] In the aforementioned testing fixture for sewing machine thread tension, the fixing module includes several fixing blocks and several fixing posts, all of which are spaced apart. This structure ensures stable installation of the thread clamp assembly.
[0011] In the aforementioned testing fixture for sewing machine thread tension, the cross-section of the upright is hexagonal. This structure allows the thread spool to fit tightly with the upright without jamming.
[0012] In the aforementioned testing fixture for sewing machine thread tension, the base plate is rectangular, and both ends of the base plate have countersunk holes for fasteners to pass through. This structure allows the testing fixture to be fixedly connected to the worktable, preventing movement during testing and improving testing accuracy.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the sewing machine thread tension testing fixture provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0014] 1. The movement path of the thread in this test fixture simulates the actual path of the thread in a sewing machine, thus improving the detection accuracy of the test fixture.
[0015] 2. This test fixture installs the manufactured thread clamp assembly onto the fixed module to test and adjust the tightness of the thread clamping surface of the thread clamp assembly, ensuring the quality of the thread clamp assembly product. After passing the test, it is then assembled into the sewing machine to avoid disassembling the thread clamp assembly in the sewing machine. Attached Figure Description
