The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0024] In the embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-6. The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0025] A combined embedded bobbin case of a vertical shuttle bed comprises an outwardly hollow bobbin case body 2, a bobbin skin 3 with a check function for the outer end of a lower thread, a bobbin case shrapnel 4, and a bobbin 5 with a function of clamping the inner end of a lower thread.

[0026] In this embodiment, referring to FIG3 , the bobbin case 2 is embedded in the shuttle bed 1 of the embedded combined bobbin case, and the opening direction is in the same direction as the shuttle bed 1 toward the outer end face. Different from the traditional external buckle bobbin case, the embedded bobbin case abandons the internal closed structure of the traditional external buckle bobbin case and designs a new open bobbin case structure. During sewing, the thread core usage status and the remaining amount can be directly monitored from the opening surface, and according to sewing needs, the bobbin can be replaced or the bobbin-free thread core 6 can be loaded directly from the end face opening without removing the bobbin case.

[0027] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 1, the outwardly hollow bobbin case 2 is composed of an inner ring and a peripheral wall extending outward from the periphery of the inner ring. The peripheral wall of the outwardly hollow bobbin case 2 is provided with a thread inlet 201 for the outer thread end of the bottom thread, a thread guide groove 202 and a thread outlet hole 203 for the outer thread end of the bottom thread. The outer thread end of the bottom thread enters from the thread inlet 201 and moves to the thread outlet hole 203 along the guide groove 202. A threaded hole 204 is provided on the peripheral wall of the outwardly hollow bobbin case 2, and a hole 301 with a design that is compatible with the position and size of the threaded hole 204 is provided on the side wall of the shuttle skin 3. The outer thread end return spring piece 302 of the shuttle skin 3 is placed in the card slot 205, and the hole 301 on the shuttle skin 3 is aligned with the threaded hole 204 of the bobbin case 2, and the two are connected and fixed using threaded fasteners.

[0028] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 2 and 3, the lower thread end thread inlet 201 is located at the lower left side of the peripheral wall of the bobbin case 2 and the opening direction is from the outer end face to the inner end face. The thread guide groove 202 starts from the lower thread end thread inlet 201, extends clockwise along the radial direction of the peripheral wall of the bobbin case 2 at a certain angle toward the axial direction of the peripheral wall of the bobbin case 2 to the lower thread end thread outlet hole 203 and is located at the end where the screw of the thread guide groove 202 is raised, thereby completing the installation of the lower thread.

[0029] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 1, 2 and 4, a narrow groove 206 is provided at the transition position between the peripheral wall of the bobbin case 2 and the inner ring of the bobbin case 2, wherein the bobbin case shrapnel 4 is installed at the narrow groove 206, thereby providing necessary damping for the rotation of the bobbin 5 during the pay-off process, thereby avoiding excessive pay-off due to sewing vibration and pay-off inertia.

[0030] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 1, 2 and 5, a clamping groove 205 is provided on the peripheral wall of the bobbin case 2 and at the bottom thread outer end thread inlet 201, wherein the bottom thread outer end anti-return spring piece 302 of the shuttle skin 3 is located in the clamping groove 205. When the bottom thread outer end enters the thread guide groove 202 from the bottom thread outer end thread inlet 201, it is constrained by the bottom thread outer end anti-return spring piece 302 on the shuttle skin 3 and cannot fall out of the bobbin case 2. Under the traction of the hook thread of the shuttle bed 1, the bottom thread outer end enters the thread outlet along the thread guide groove 202, causing the bottom thread outer end to exit from the bottom thread outer end thread outlet hole 203. Under the action of the elastic force of the shuttle skin 3, the thread exits from the thread outlet along the peripheral wall of the bobbin case 2. The shuttle skin 3 provides adjustable thread outlet damping for the bottom thread to achieve good sewing quality.

[0031] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 1, 2, 3, and 6, the bobbin 5 comprises a retaining ring and an inner shaft, wherein the inner shaft is provided with a bobbin thread inner end latch 501 and a shuttle bed latch 502. After the bobbin case 2, shuttle skin 3, bobbin case spring 4, and bobbin 5 are assembled in sequence and inserted into the shuttle bed 1, the shuttle bed latch 502 on the bobbin 5 exerts a tightening force against the recessed end of the inner shaft of the shuttle bed 1, thereby clamping the shuttle bed inner shaft and preventing the assembled embedded bobbin case from detaching from the shuttle bed 1. The bobbin thread inner end latch 501 on the bobbin 5 exerts a clamping force against the inner thread end of the bobbin-less thread core in the case 2, thereby preventing the incoming bobbin-less thread core from unraveling.

[0032] The working process of the present invention is as follows: when using a combined embedded bobbin case of a vertical shuttle bed, first, the outwardly hollow bobbin case 2 is composed of an inner ring and a peripheral wall extending outward from the periphery of the inner ring, and a bobbin case 2 is provided with a thread inlet 201 for the outer thread end of the lower thread, a thread guide groove 202 and a thread outlet hole 203 for the outer thread end of the lower thread, wherein the outer thread end of the lower thread enters from the thread inlet 201 and moves to the thread outlet hole 203 along the guide groove 202, a threaded hole 204 is provided on the peripheral wall of the outwardly hollow bobbin case 2, and a hole 301 that matches the position and size of the threaded hole 204 is provided on the side wall of the bobbin skin 3, and the outer thread end return spring piece 302 of the bobbin skin 3 is placed in the clamping groove 205, and the hole 301 on the bobbin skin 3 is aligned with the threaded hole 204 of the bobbin case 2, and the two are connected and fixed by a threaded fastener;

[0033] Afterwards, under the condition that the lower thread end outer thread inlet 201 is located at the lower left side of the peripheral wall of the bobbin case 2 and the opening direction is from the outer end face to the inner end face, the thread guide groove 202 starts from the lower thread end outer thread inlet 201, extends clockwise along the peripheral wall of the bobbin case 2 at a certain angle in the radial direction toward the axial direction of the peripheral wall of the bobbin case 2 to the lower thread end outer thread outlet hole 203 and is located at the end of the screw of the thread guide groove 202;

[0034] At the same time, a narrow groove 206 is provided at the transition position between the peripheral wall of the bobbin case 2 and the inner ring of the bobbin case 2, wherein the bobbin case spring piece 4 is installed at the narrow groove 206, thereby providing necessary damping for the rotation of the bobbin 5 during the thread-releasing process, thereby avoiding sewing vibration and thread-releasing inertia causing excessive thread-releasing;

[0035] Afterwards, a clamping groove 205 is provided on the peripheral wall of the bobbin case 2 and located at the bottom thread outer end thread inlet 201, wherein the bottom thread outer end non-return spring piece 302 of the shuttle skin 3 is located in the clamping groove 205. When the bottom thread outer end enters the thread guide groove 202 from the bottom thread outer end thread inlet 201, it is constrained by the bottom thread outer end non-return spring piece 302 on the shuttle skin 3 and cannot fall out of the bobbin case 2. Under the traction of the shuttle bed 1, the bottom thread outer end enters the thread outlet along the thread guide groove 202, causing the bottom thread outer end to exit from the bottom thread outer end thread outlet hole 203. Under the action of the elastic force of the shuttle skin 3, the thread exits from the thread outlet along the peripheral wall of the bobbin case 2. The shuttle skin 3 provides adjustable thread outlet damping for the bottom thread to achieve good sewing quality.

[0036] After that, the bobbin 5 is composed of a retaining ring and an inner shaft, wherein the inner shaft is designed with a bottom thread inner end buckle 501 and a shuttle bed buckle 502. After the bobbin case 2, shuttle skin 3, bobbin case spring piece 4, and bobbin 5 are assembled in sequence and the whole is embedded in the shuttle bed 1, the shuttle bed buckle 502 on the bobbin 5 will provide a tight clamping force to the recess at the end of the inner shaft of the shuttle bed 1 after being embedded in the shuttle bed 1, so that the assembled embedded bobbin case cannot be separated from the shuttle bed 1 by itself. The bottom thread inner end buckle 501 on the bobbin 5 provides a clamping constraint force to clamp the inner thread end of the bobbin-free thread core in the case 2, so that the replaced bobbin-free thread core will not fall apart.

[0037] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
