Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of needle plate replacement technology, specifically relating to a needle plate replacement device for sewing machines. Background Technology
[0002] A sewing machine is a machine that uses one or more sewing threads to create one or more stitches on fabric, interweaving or sewing together one or more layers of fabric. Sewing machines can sew fabrics such as cotton, linen, silk, wool, and synthetic fibers, as well as products made of leather, plastic, and paper. The stitches produced are neat, beautiful, flat, and strong. Sewing is fast and easy to use. It has also given rise to art forms such as hand-pressed embroidery and computer embroidery. The needle plate is the core component of jute and flax carding machines, mainly composed of a curved wooden board with steel needles embedded in it. Its design uses an arc-shaped structure that matches the curvature of the carding machine's roller surface. The steel needles are made of high-carbon steel, quenched and polished, and fixed to the base plate through a static fit. To prevent wear when processing coarse and hard fibers, the surface of the wooden base plate can be covered with a thin metal plate. The wood must be treated to prevent mold and insect infestation and coated with clear varnish; tree species such as gardenia and beech, which combine lightness and elasticity, are preferred.
[0003] After a long period of operation, the sewing machine needs to replace the needle plate. Replacing the needle plate is usually done manually, which is inefficient. After the old needle plate is removed, a lot of debris and thread ends remain at the mounting point. It is difficult to clean this manually, and too much repetition wastes a lot of working time. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a needle plate changing device for a sewing machine, comprising a workbench 1 and a support platform 5. A limit block 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the support platform 5. A second motor 15 is installed on one side of the surface of the limit block 6. The output end of the second motor 15 is connected to a threaded rotating shaft 16. A movable block 17 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rotating shaft 16. A connecting block 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the movable block 17. A pneumatic gripper 14 is installed at one end of the connecting block 13. An electric slide rail 7 is installed on the other side of the surface of the support platform 5. A slider 19 is provided on one side of the surface of the electric slide rail 7. A permanent magnet 20 is connected to one side of the bottom of the slider 19.
[0024] In this embodiment: when the permanent magnet 20 drives the old needle plate to rise, the vacuum cleaner 10 drives the vacuum tube 12 to suck the thread ends and debris into the vacuum box 11, which avoids the thread debris falling and contaminating the rotary hook area during the disassembly and assembly process, reduces the subsequent cleaning needs, and alleviates the pressure of manual cleaning.
[0025] In this embodiment: by precisely adjusting the control angle of the two sets of high-pressure air guns 22 through two sets of servo motors 9, the thread ends and debris can be blown up when disassembling the old needle plate, and the dust suction pipe 10 can suck up the thread ends and debris to avoid the accumulation of debris residue and ensure that there are no impurities interfering with the needle plate mounting surface.
[0026] In this embodiment: the corresponding support leg 2 can improve the stability of the device, and the casters 3 installed at the bottom of the support leg 2 facilitate the rapid transfer of the device in the workshop.
[0027] In this embodiment, the first motor 4 drives the first rotating shaft 8 and the support platform 5 to rotate, thereby exchanging the positions of the pneumatic gripper 14 and the permanent magnet 20, so that the disassembly and installation of the needle plate can be carried out simultaneously, improving the working efficiency of the device.
[0028] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: After the utility model is installed, move the device to the corresponding position, lock the universal wheel 3, and manually tighten the bolts fixing the needle plate on the sewing machine. Start the electric slide rail 7, which will drive the slider 19 and permanent magnet 20 to move downwards. When the permanent magnet 20 is in full contact with the needle plate, close the electric slide rail 7, start the two sets of servo motors 9, which will drive the two sets of second rotating shafts 21 to rotate, thereby driving the high-pressure air guns 22 to move around the rotating shafts 21, and then drive the high-pressure air guns 22 to move around the needle plate table. When the positions of the two sets of high-pressure air guns 22 and the needle plate table are aligned, start the high-pressure air guns 22 to blow strong air towards the needle plate table, start the vacuum cleaner 10, which will drive the vacuum pipe 12 to work, and start the electric slide rail 7, which will drive the slider 19 and permanent magnet 20 to move downwards. The machine rises, removing the old needle plate. Debris and thread ends from the needle plate table are blown up by a strong wind and sucked into the dust collection box 11 by the suction pipe 12. The pneumatic gripper 14 is activated to hold the new needle plate. The first motor 4 is started, driving the first rotating shaft 8 and the support platform 5 to rotate. When the new needle plate is directly above the needle plate table, the first motor 4 is turned off, and the second motor 15 is started, driving the threaded rotating shaft 16 to rotate. This causes the movable block 17 to move within the limiting groove 18, which in turn causes the connecting block 13 and the pneumatic gripper 14 to descend, placing the new needle plate on the needle plate table. The pneumatic gripper 14 is then opened, and the operator tightens the bolts to complete the replacement of the sewing machine needle plate. All electrical equipment in this device is powered by an external power source, and all motors or electric push rods in this paper are controlled by a PLC control system.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
