Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sewing machine equipment technology, and in particular to a system for removing spools of thread during the start of sewing. Background Technology
[0002] During the sewing process, especially at the beginning, long, unsecured thread ends can easily form tangled clumps under the fabric, creating a "bird's nest" effect. These clumps not only affect the appearance of the sewn product but can also lead to messy stitches, increased manual trimming costs, and reduced production efficiency.
[0003] Existing technologies offer several solutions for handling thread ends during sewing, such as using thread-cutting mechanisms to trim excess threads. However, these solutions are mostly designed for routine thread trimming during the sewing process and are not very effective at preventing and removing tangled threads at the beginning of the sewing stage. Some technologies also suffer from problems such as inaccurate thread trimming timing, excessively long thread residue, and the inability to promptly remove thread ends, leading to secondary contamination, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-quality sewing.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a system and method that can precisely handle the surface thread and effectively remove the tangled bird's nest thread during the initial sewing process to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0010] In the above-mentioned thread removal system during the start of sewing, the negative pressure generator is connected to the suction pipe, and the dust collection box is connected to the other end of the suction pipe.
[0011] In the above-mentioned thread removal system during the start of sewing, the drive component is pneumatically driven, electromagnetically driven, or motor-driven, and the thread cutting drive is driven by a motor or electromagnet.
[0012] In the above-mentioned thread removal system during the start of sewing, the thread cutting position of the moving blade and the fixed blade is 1-3mm away from the lower surface of the fabric placed on the needle plate.
[0013] In the aforementioned thread removal system during the start of sewing, the negative pressure value of the negative pressure generator is -0.02 to -0.05 MPa. In the above-mentioned thread removal system during the start of sewing, the thread cutting device 5 cuts the bottom thread while the negative pressure suction device continues to work for 0.2-0.5 seconds.
[0014] The advantages of this utility model: This utility model's thread slub removal system integrates various devices that work in conjunction with a sewing machine.

[0024] In the above-mentioned thread removal system during the start of sewing, the air inlet of the suction pipe 61 is flat and close to the mating position of the fixed blade 51 and the moving blade 52.
[0025] In the above-mentioned thread removal system during the start of sewing, the negative pressure generator 62 is connected to the suction pipe 61, and the dust collection box 63 is connected to the other end of the suction pipe 61.

[0027] In the above-mentioned thread removal system during the start of sewing, the thread cutting position of the moving blade 52 and the fixed blade 51 is 1-3mm away from the lower surface of the fabric placed on the needle plate 2.
[0028] In the aforementioned thread removal system during the start of sewing, the negative pressure value of the negative pressure generator 62 is -0.02 to -0.05 MPa. In the above-mentioned thread removal system during the start of sewing, the thread cutting device 5 cuts the bottom thread while the negative pressure suction device 6 continues to work for 0.2-0.5 seconds.
[0029] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows: Initial preparation stage: The operator turns on the system power and starts the system through the touch screen. The sewing machine's electronic control system controls each device to reset. The moving blade 52 returns to the starting position away from the fixed blade 51, and the two grippers 44 of the thread clamp device 4 are in the open or initial position. The fabric to be sewn is placed on the needle plate 2, and the fabric position is adjusted so that the sewing starting point is aligned with the needle.
[0030] Needle threading through fabric: The sewing machine's electronic control system sends a command to the needle drive motor, which drives the needle 3 to pass through the needle hole on the fabric and needle plate, bringing the top thread under the fabric.
[0031] Needle return: After the needle reaches the lowest point, the electronic control system controls the motor to reverse, and the needle moves upward and returns to the top of the cotton fabric. At this time, the top thread remains below the fabric.
[0032] Thread clamp device operation: In this embodiment, the thread clamp device 4 is pneumatically driven. The sewing machine's electronic control system controls the cylinder of the drive component 41 to circulate air, and the piston rod drives the top plate 45 to move backward, thereby causing the two grippers 44 to close and clamp the top thread left under the cotton cloth, and move the top thread away from the needle hole.
[0033] Thread cutting device: The sewing control system controls the power supply of the thread cutting device 5, which drives the moving blade 52 to move towards the fixed blade 51. The moving blade and the fixed blade engage to cut the top thread. The thread cutting position is away from the lower surface of the fabric.
[0034] Negative pressure suction to remove thread ends: At the same time as the thread cutting action occurs, the sewing control system controls the negative pressure generator 62 to start and generate negative pressure. The suction port of the suction pipe 61 sucks up the thread end, the two grippers 44 open and release the clamped thread, and the suction pipe 61 sucks away the cut thread end and transports it to the dust collection box.
[0035] Continue sewing: After the thread ends are removed, the sewing control system controls the needle to move downwards again, passing through the fabric for normal sewing.
[0036] Selection of moving blade position: According to the sewing process requirements of this cotton fabric, the moving blade should remain in the current position after cutting the thread and should not retract.
[0037] Thread cutting at the end of sewing: When the preset length is reached, the sewing control system stops the sewing needle. At this time, the thread cutting device is powered on again. Since the moving blade does not retract, it works directly with the stationary blade to cut the top and bottom threads.
[0038] System Reset: After the thread cutting is completed, the sewing control system cuts off the power, the moving blade returns to the starting position under the action of the reset spring, the negative pressure generator stops working, the operator takes out the sewn cotton cloth, cleans the thread ends in the dust collection box, and the system waits for the next operation.
[0039] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0040] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
