The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art according to specific situations.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the existing sewing machine includes a feeding shaft 8, a feed lifting shaft 9, a feed lifting fork-shaped crank 10, a feed rack 5, and a feeding tooth 6 fixed on the feed rack 5, wherein a rack base 2 is fixed on the feeding shaft 8 through a screw 3, a rack pin 1 is fixed on the rack base 2, one end of the rack 5 is hinged with the rack base 2 through the rack pin 1, the other end is provided with a feed lifting slider 51, and the feed lifting slider 51 is connected with a fork slot of the feed lifting fork-shaped crank 10 in a sliding manner. In order to realize that thick materials and thin materials can be sewn on one sewing machine, the invention provides a feeding tooth height adjusting mechanism of the sewing machine, as shown in figures 2 and 3, wherein a tooth rack 5 is connected with a tooth lifting slider 51 through an eccentric shaft 55, a driving device 7 is also arranged on the tooth rack 5, and the driving device 7 is in transmission connection with the eccentric shaft 55 and can drive the eccentric shaft 55 to rotate. When the cloth with different thicknesses needs to be sewn, the height of the feeding tooth can be adjusted according to the thickness of the cloth. The height of the feeding tooth can be adjusted through setting of a human-computer interface, and the height of the feeding tooth can be adaptively adjusted through automatic detection of cloth thickness. When the height of the feeding tooth is adjusted, the feeding mechanism stops working, the feed lifting tooth shaft 9 and the feed lifting tooth fork-shaped crank 10 fixed on the feed lifting tooth shaft 9 keep still, and when the driving device 7 drives the eccentric shaft 55 to rotate, the drive tooth rack 5 is driven to move up and down.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, 6 and 7, the eccentric shaft 55 includes a first shaft segment 551 and a second shaft segment 552 which are eccentrically connected, the first shaft segment 551 is disposed in the shaft hole of the dental articulator 5, the second shaft segment 552 is disposed in the shaft hole of the tooth lifting slider 51, and the first shaft segment 551 has a larger diameter than the second shaft segment 552. The end of the second shaft section 552 is provided with a slot 553, and the clamp spring 54 can be clamped in the slot 553. During installation, the second shaft section 552 sequentially penetrates through the gasket 52, the tooth lifting slide block 51 and the gasket 53, the end parts of the second shaft section are fixed by the clamp spring 54, and the gasket 52, the gasket 53 and the clamp spring 54 tightly clamp the tooth lifting slide block 51 and prevent the eccentric shaft 55 from shifting left and right in the shaft hole of the tooth lifting slide block 51.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, when the eccentric shaft 55 rotates, the feed dog slider 51 is driven to slide a small distance along the fork slot of the feed dog fork 10, but since the feed dog fork 10 is stationary, the feed dog slider 51 is restrained by the feed dog fork 10 from moving in the height direction. As shown in fig. 7, when the eccentric shaft rotates, the center of the second shaft segment 552 engaged with the feed block is constrained in the fork groove of the feed fork crank 10, and changes to 552' after rotating, which can be seen as basically not moving up and down; the center of the first shaft segment 551 matched with the tooth frame 5 moves up and down and changes into 551' after rotating, so that the feeding tooth 6 is driven to move up and down, and the height adjustment of the feeding tooth 6 is realized.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention further comprises a thickness detection device for detecting the thickness of the fabric, and a controller respectively connected to the thickness detection device and the driving device 7, wherein the controller controls the driving device 7 to operate according to the thickness of the fabric detected by the thickness detection device, so as to realize the adaptive adjustment of the feeding teeth 6 relative to the thickness of the fabric. The thickness detection device may be an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a hall sensor, a magnet, or other known detection devices. For example, CN201610362993.6 discloses a cloth thickness detecting device for sewing machine.
