Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bead embroidery technology, and in particular to a base plate lubrication structure for a bead feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The bead feeding mechanism of bead embroidery generally includes a bead feeding base plate and bead clamps that slide on the base plate. The bead clamps are used to receive and feed the beads to the bead feeding station for the machine needle to embroider. In actual use, the bead clamps need to slide at high speed to feed the beads, and the repeated and rapid friction with the bead feeding base plate can easily cause wear on the base plate and the bead clamps. Therefore, lubricating oil needs to be added between the bead feeding base plate and the bead clamps to reduce wear. However, embroidery machines have a large number of heads and many bead clamps in multi-bead feeding mechanisms, so repeatedly adding lubricating oil is very troublesome, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems of the prior art, this utility model provides a base plate lubrication structure for a bead feeding mechanism, which can reduce wear on the bead clamp and the bead feeding base plate, eliminating the need for frequent lubrication.

[0004] The technical solution adopted is as follows: A base plate lubrication structure for a bead feeding mechanism includes a bead feeding base plate and at least one bead clamp assembly sliding on the bead feeding base plate. The bead clamp assembly includes a bead clamp. At least one lubrication structure body is provided at the bottom of the bead feeding base plate on the sliding path of the bead clamp. The lubrication structure body includes an oil storage tank, an oil storage cotton disposed in the oil storage tank, and a cover plate disposed at the bottom of the oil storage tank for sealing. An oil delivery hole is provided at the upper end of the oil storage tank, and the oil delivery hole is disposed on the sliding path of the bead clamp.

[0005] Furthermore, the bead clamp assembly also includes a driving component located at the bottom of the bead clamp for driving the bead clamp to slide.

[0006] Furthermore, the bead feeding base plate is provided with a sliding groove for the bead feeding clamp assembly to slide.

[0007] Furthermore, the bead feeding base plate is provided with two bead clamping assemblies and two corresponding sliding grooves.

[0008] Furthermore, the sliding groove is provided with a protrusion in the middle for the ball clamp to slide and contact; the sliding groove is provided with grooves on both sides of the protrusion for the drive component to slide.

[0009] Furthermore, the oil delivery hole is located on the protrusion.

[0010] Furthermore, the oil-storing cotton extends to the oil inlet or outside the oil inlet and contacts the bead clamp.

[0011] Furthermore, the ball-feeding base plate is also provided with a driving structure for the sliding of the driving component.

[0012] Furthermore, the drive structure includes a drive motor, a motor mounting plate, and a drive arm, with a synchronous belt assembly provided between the drive arm and the drive motor.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention provides a base plate lubrication structure for a bead feeding mechanism. At least one lubrication structure body is provided at the bottom of the base plate along the sliding path of the bead clamp. The lubrication structure includes an oil reservoir, oil-retaining cotton placed within the oil reservoir, and a cover plate for sealing. An oil delivery hole is provided above the oil reservoir, located along the sliding path of the bead clamp. When the bead clamp slides to the oil delivery hole, the lubricating oil in the oil reservoir permeates through the oil delivery hole to the lower end of the bead clamp, lubricating both the bead clamp and the bead feeding base plate, reducing wear between them, and extending their service life. Preferably, oil-retaining cotton can be placed in the oil reservoir, allowing it to directly contact the bead clamp and squeeze out oil. This allows the lubricating oil to intermittently lubricate the bead clamp, eliminating the need for manual lubrication and avoiding frequent oiling, saving time and effort.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0016] refer to Figure 1-6A base plate lubrication structure for a bead feeding mechanism includes a bead feeding base plate 1 and at least one bead clamp assembly 2 sliding on the bead feeding base plate 1. The bead clamp assembly 2 includes a bead clamp 201. At least one lubrication structure body 3 is provided at the bottom of the bead feeding base plate 1 on the sliding path of the bead clamp 201. The lubrication structure body 3 includes an oil storage tank 301, an oil storage cotton 302 disposed in the oil storage tank 301, and a cover plate 303 disposed at the bottom of the oil storage tank 301 for sealing. An oil delivery hole 4 is provided at the upper end of the oil storage tank 301, and the oil delivery hole 4 is disposed on the sliding path of the bead clamp 201.

[0017] The lubrication system eliminates the need for repeated manual lubrication, simplifying operation and saving manpower and time. The oil reservoir 301 is filled with lubricating oil. Each time the ball clamp 201 slides past the oil inlet 4, the lubricating oil seeps out to lubricate the ball clamp 201, reducing friction and wear between the ball clamp 201 and the ball feeding base plate 1, thus extending the service life of both. If the lubricating oil is insufficient, it can be added through the oil inlet 4.

[0018] Preferably, the oil storage tank 301 contains an oil-absorbing cotton 302 filled with lubricating oil. The rapid sliding of the bead clamp 201 generates heat through friction with the bead-feeding base plate 1, causing the cotton 302 to expand. Lubricating oil then seeps out from the oil outlet 4, lubricating the bottom of the bead clamp 201. Alternatively, the cotton 302 can extend to the oil outlet 4 or directly contact the bead clamp 201 outside the outlet 4. Each time the bead clamp 201 passes the cotton 302, oil is squeezed out, and the lubricating oil within the cotton 302 extends upwards, intermittently lubricating the bead clamp 201.

[0019] During installation, first place the oil-collecting cotton 302 into the oil storage tank, and then seal the oil storage tank with the cover plate. The oil storage tank is also provided with a groove 10 for the cover plate to be installed.

[0020] The bead clamp assembly 2 further includes a driving member 202 disposed at the bottom of the bead clamp 201 for driving the bead clamp 201 to slide. The driving member can drive the bead clamp 201 to slide and deliver beads, and this structure can be directly referred to in the prior art.

[0021] The ball feeding base plate 1 is provided with a sliding groove 6 for the ball clamping assembly 2 to slide. One or more ball clamping assemblies 2 may be provided on the ball feeding base plate 1. In this embodiment, the ball feeding base plate 1 is provided with two ball clamping assemblies 2 and two corresponding sliding grooves 6. One or more lubrication structure bodies 3 may be provided at the lower end of each ball clamping assembly 2.

[0022] The sliding groove 6 has a protrusion 7 in the middle for the ball clamp 201 to slide into; the sliding groove 6 has grooves 8 on both sides of the protrusion 7 for the drive component 5 to slide. The oil supply hole 4 is located on the protrusion 7. Because the protrusion 7 is in direct contact with the ball clamp 201, the ball clamp 201 will be lubricated when it passes through the oil supply hole 4. The lubrication structure body 3 is located below the protrusion 7 on the ball feeding base plate. The protrusion 7 has a certain thickness. By placing the oil storage groove 301 below the protrusion, the depth of the oil storage groove 301 can be increased, the oil storage capacity of the oil storage groove 301 can be increased, the number of oiling times can be reduced, and the service life can be extended.

[0023] The ball-feeding base plate 1 is also provided with a driving structure 9 for sliding the driving component 202. The driving structure 9 includes a driving motor 901, a motor mounting plate 902, and a driving arm 903. A synchronous belt assembly 904 is provided between the driving arm 903 and the driving motor 901. The driving motor 901 drives the driving arm 903 to swing through the synchronous belt assembly 904, and the driving arm 903 drives the driving component 5 to slide and feed the ball clamp 201.

[0024] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
