Electronic cam thread picking device for computerized embroidery machine and thread picking method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of computer embroidery machines, in particular to an electronic cam thread taking-up device for a computer embroidery machine and a thread taking-up method thereof.
Background
The computerized embroidery machine has the embroidery principle similar to that of a sewing machine, and is characterized in that upper threads penetrate through a fabric through a machine needle, the upper threads are hooked by a rotating shuttle below the machine needle, and the lower threads in the rotating shuttle are wound by one circle to form thread knots. In the process that the rotating shuttle hooks the upper thread to rotate for one circle, the thread taking-up lever is required to feed the thread in the former stage of rotating shuttle pulling, and the thread taking-up lever is required to take up the thread in the latter stage of rotating shuttle releasing. The cooperation of thread picking and rotating shuttle plays an extremely important role in the embroidery process, and directly influences the embroidery and thread breakage rate of the machine.
At present, the thread taking-up of the embroidery machine is completed by driving a thread taking-up lever to swing up and down by the rotation of a thread taking-up cam arranged in a machine head along with a main shaft. The thread picking mode is a mode used in the current industry and is very mature. It has a great limitation.
First, in order to accommodate different fabrics, different embroidery threads and different embroidery effects, there are many thread-picking cams with different cam curves, such as M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, etc., in the market, and high-speed machines are also different. The existing thread take-up cam is arranged in each machine head and sleeved on the main shaft, so that the variety and angle of the cam are not easy to replace and adjust, and the continuous changing requirements of users cannot be met.
Secondly, because the thread take-up mechanisms on the machine heads are relatively independent to each other and are inevitably different from each other in installation and positioning, the embroidery processed by the machine heads is uneven in effect and large in quality difference.
And the thread taking-up work is completed by rotating the nylon cam to drive the bearing to move, so that the thread taking-up precision is poorer and worse until the bearing needs to be replaced due to accumulated wear.
