The invention utilizes the bottom thread retainer positioned below the movable thread cutting knife on the prior embroidery machine to bind the thread end of the upper thread before thread cutting, and cuts the thread under the condition that both the bottom thread and the upper thread are retained by the bottom thread retainer, thereby solving the problems of different thread ends and easy bottom thread breaking off caused by too loose stitches to a certain extent. In the practical application process, the bottom thread retainer is positioned below the thread cutting movable knife, the upper thread is positioned between the bottom thread retainer and the thread cutting movable knife, and after the upper thread is cut, the thread end of the upper thread is easily bent by 180 degrees and then faces the direction of the rotating shuttle, so that a new thread end is formed on the thread loop sleeve when the second needle is raised, and the quality of an embroidery product is influenced. In addition, waste remains on the bobbin thread holder after the thread cutting is completed.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problems in the prior art, the invention provides a thread cutting device of an embroidery machine and a thread cutting method of the embroidery machine, which can avoid the disordered thread ends and different thread ends below a cloth cover, solve the problems of thread drop and thread breakage caused by the fact that a bottom thread is easy to break off due to too loose stitches, and avoid the influence on embroidery quality caused by the fact that the thread ends of the surface thread are brought into a rotating shuttle to form new stitches.
The invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
a thread cutting device of an embroidery machine comprises a movable cutter, a fixed cutter and a movable cutter driving mechanism which are all arranged on a shuttle race; the movable knife is arranged on a knife bar of the movable knife driving mechanism; the rear side of the fixed cutter in the direction of the cutting edge of the fixed cutter blade is provided with a through hole; an embroidery thread holding structure is arranged between the movable knife and the fixed knife, the spring plate embroidery thread holding structure comprises an embroidery thread holding body, at least part of the embroidery thread holding body acts on the upper surface of the movable knife, and the acting part of the embroidery thread holding body is positioned on the front side of the cutting edge direction of the cutting edge of the movable knife; the front end of the embroidery thread holding body extends in a rising trend to form a free end of an embroidery thread holding structure, and the free end of the embroidery thread holding structure extends into the through hole; the embroidery thread holding structure is used for binding the bottom thread and/or the upper thread head between the action part and the movable blade of the embroidery thread holding body before thread trimming; the movable cutter driving mechanism drives the movable cutter to move towards the fixed cutter, the end head of the movable cutter shearing wire of the movable cutter forks a bottom wire and a facial line to be sheared and continues to move towards the fixed cutter during movement, and the movable cutter cutting edge and the fixed cutter cutting edge act together to shear the bottom wire and the facial line until the movable cutter is overlapped with the fixed cutter.
The embroidery thread holding structure arranged between the fixed knife and the movable knife can effectively bind the bottom thread and/or the upper thread end (namely, the upper thread and the upper thread are bound when the upper thread is raised, and the bottom thread is bound after the upper thread is cut off), so that the thread ends below the cloth cover are prevented from being disordered and different in length, and the problems that the bottom thread is easy to break off to cause thread drop and thread breakage are solved.
Compared with the scheme that the prior invention application CN 2021101748749 adopts the bottom thread retainer positioned below the movable knife to restrain the bottom thread, although the prior application can restrain the end of the bottom thread, the end of the bottom thread is bent by 180 degrees and then faces the rotating shuttle because the bottom thread retainer is positioned below the movable knife, when the second needle is pulled up, the end of the bottom thread is taken with stitches to form a new end of the bottom thread, and the quality of embroidery is greatly influenced. The embroidery thread holding structure is arranged above the movable knife, so that the upper thread end is prevented from being bent by 180 degrees, the upper thread end is always kept away from the rotating shuttle, and the thread end is prevented from being sleeved into the thread ring to form a new stitch.

As shown in fig. 3, the fixed knife is provided with a through hole 21 between the fixed knife edge and the fixed knife mounting hole. The through hole 21 is formed according to the size of the embroidery thread holding structure so that the embroidery thread holding structure can pass through.
Fig. 5 to 7 show another embodiment of a thread cutting device of an embroidery machine according to the present invention. The rear end of the embroidery thread holding body 41 is fixed below the stationary knife 2. The rear end of the embroidery thread holding body can be fixed below the fixed knife 2 by using a bolt, such as the lower surface of the fixed knife 2, the mounting base of the fixed knife 2 (see fig. 7), and the shuttle bed 5.
In fig. 6, the embroidery thread holding body of the embroidery thread holding structure includes a mounting portion 411, a connecting portion 412, and an operating portion 413. The mounting portion 411 has a mounting hole. The connecting portion 412 connects the mounting portion 411 and the acting portion 413, and the connecting portion 412 extends downward from the mounting portion 411, and is connected to the acting portion 413 after passing through. In the figure, the acting part is a bent structure, and the bent surface of the acting part acts on the surface of the movable knife. The invention is not limited to the structure that the embroidery thread keeping body acts on the surface of the movable knife as a bending structure, and is not limited to the structure that the bending surface acts on the surface of the movable knife. The acting surface of the acting part can be a plane or an inclined plane, so that the thread end of the bottom thread can be bound in the space between the embroidery thread holding structure and the movable knife. The front end of the action part extends in a rising trend to form a free end 42 of the embroidery thread holding structure, and the free end can extend into the through hole 21.
As shown in fig. 5, the fixed blade 2 has a through hole 21 formed between the fixed blade edge 22 and the fixed blade mounting hole. The through hole 21 is formed according to the size of the embroidery thread holding structure so that the embroidery thread holding structure can pass through.
The embodiments shown in fig. 5-7 are not limited to the use of through holes. Because the embroidery thread holding structure is arranged below the stationary knife, the through hole can be changed into a blind hole, namely, a hole with a certain depth is arranged, and the free end is allowed to extend into the blind hole. Or, no hole is formed, so that the embroidery thread holding structure is ensured to be contained in a certain space to realize the binding of the thread ends on the bottom surface before thread trimming on the premise that the thread trimming can be normally performed between the fixed knife and the movable knife, and no through hole or blind hole is formed in the fixed knife.
The two embodiments both adopt the fixed knife (the difference between the two embodiments is whether the fixed knife is provided with a through hole or not, or the size of the through hole) and the movable knife which are in the same structure.
As shown in fig. 3 and 5, the bottom of the stationary knife 2 facing the stationary knife thread cutting action portion of the movable knife 1 is provided with a stationary knife blade 22. And (3) welding the raw material of the fixed cutter blade to the bottom of the fixed cutter, and grinding to obtain the fixed cutter blade. In one embodiment, the front end of the stationary blade thread cutting action portion is flush with the front end of the stationary blade cutting edge 22. In another embodiment, the front end of the fixed knife thread cutting action part is provided with an extension part extending towards the moving knife 1, so that the fixed knife blade 22 is retracted in the extension part. In the former embodiment, when the embroidery thread is tightened between the stationary knife cutting action portion and the stationary knife blade before the movable knife blade intersects the stationary knife blade, the embroidery thread is cut off or the embroidery thread is cut. In the latter embodiment, due to the existence of the extension part, the extension part prevents the embroidery thread from contacting with the cutting edge of the fixed knife in advance, so that the embroidery thread is not tightened on the cutting edge of the fixed knife in advance to cut hair or cut the embroidery thread. Meanwhile, in the latter embodiment, it is also necessary to note that the extension portion is not too long, the too long extension portion will contact with the cutting edge of the moving knife first, and tension exists between the extension portion and the cutting edge of the moving knife in the process that the moving knife moves towards the fixed knife, so that the cutting edge of the moving knife cuts the embroidery thread in advance. The movable cutter driving mechanism drives the movable cutter to move towards the fixed cutter, the end head of the movable cutter shearing wire of the movable cutter forks a bottom wire and a facial line to be sheared and continues to move towards the fixed cutter during movement, and the movable cutter cutting edge and the fixed cutter cutting edge act together to shear the bottom wire and the facial line until the movable cutter is overlapped with the fixed cutter. In addition, the front end of the fixed cutter thread cutting action part can be a plane or a concave surface, and embroidery threads can be conveniently gathered at the cutting edge when the front end of the fixed cutter thread cutting action part with the concave surface is adopted.
FIG. 8 is a view illustrating a structure of a movable blade of a thread trimmer of an embroidery machine according to the present invention. The moving blade 1 is provided with a downward inclined surface 11 facing the moving blade trimming action part of the fixed blade 2, and the inclined surface is provided with a groove 12. Therefore, when the movable cutter moves towards the fixed cutter, the bottom thread and the upper thread to be cut are gathered in the groove, and the groove leaves a space for embroidery thread, so that the embroidery thread has an extension space in the groove and cannot be tightened, and the embroidery thread is prevented from cutting sections in advance after the movable cutter is contacted with the fixed cutter; in addition, the inclined surface can prevent the cutting edge of the fixed knife from pushing the embroidery thread to directly rub and break. In order to control the lengths of the cut bottom thread and the upper thread to be consistent, the length should not be too long, and should not be too short, the embroidery thread needs to be cut when the cutting edge of the fixed knife is intersected with the cutting edge of the movable knife, but not to be cut in advance when the cutting edge of the movable knife moves towards the cutting edge of the fixed knife (namely, when the cutting edge of the movable knife is not intersected), and the structural design is needed.
The front end of the movable blade thread cutting action part is provided with a notch 13 for forming a movable blade thread cutting end 131, and the notch can be a U-shaped notch, a V-shaped notch or an arc notch. The front end of the active blade thread-cutting action part is divided into two active blade thread-cutting ends by the notch 13, so that one active blade thread-cutting end is used for forking the bottom thread, and the other active blade thread-cutting end is used for forking the upper thread (the left waist line segment of the triangular thread loop).
The groove 12 is provided with a concave hole 14 or a through hole 14 at the bottom of the other end of the groove 12 far away from the movable blade trimming end 131, the hole wall of the concave hole 14 and the inclined surface 11 form a movable blade edge, or the hole wall of the through hole 14 and the inclined surface 11 form a movable blade edge. Preferably, the through hole or the concave hole is an inclined hole to promote the blade edge of the movable blade to be sharper. The active part of the embroidery thread holding body acts on the groove bottom surface of the movable knife (see fig. 4 and 7), and specifically, the active part of the embroidery thread holding body acts on the groove bottom surface on the rear side of the notch and on the front side of the cutting edge of the movable knife.
The moving knife driving mechanism adopts the existing moving knife driving mechanism and comprises a knife bar, a swing arm and a rotating shaft connecting rod. The cutter arbor is vertical to be located on shuttle bed 5, the lower extreme of cutter arbor is connected the pivot connecting rod, swing arm one end is connected to the upper end of cutter arbor, and the swing arm other end has the driving piece, and when the cutter arbor drove the swing arm swing, the driving piece drove the sword motion. The drive member may be a pin, ball, bearing, pin, or the like. The present invention will not be described in detail, and reference is made to the prior patent documents of the applicant.
Referring to fig. 9, the present invention further provides a thread cutting method of the embroidery machine, which is implemented by using the thread cutting device of the embroidery machine. The method is applied to the control end of the embroidery machine and comprises the following steps:
step S10, controlling the needle to be inserted, and taking the thread end of the upper thread below the needle plate;
step S20, when the thread end of the upper thread is brought below the needle plate, the movable knife is controlled to hook the thread end of the upper thread to move towards the fixed knife until the thread end stops at the limit position where the movable knife and the fixed knife are not closed; at the moment, the hooked upper thread is limited to the embroidery thread holding structure;
step S30, controlling the machine needle to drop to finish the embroidery of at least one stitch; and step S40, controlling the movable knife to move from the stop limit to the fixed knife, and cutting off the thread end of the facial line when the movable knife and the fixed knife are closed.
The method of the invention does not use the prior bottom thread retainer, namely, eliminates the structure of the bottom thread retainer on the thread cutting device of the prior embroidery machine, but adopts the thread cutting device with the embroidery thread retaining structure. The method controls the movable knife to execute two steps, namely hooking the upper thread and moving the upper thread to a stop limit to carry out upper thread constraint, and then executing thread cutting action after finishing embroidering at least one stitch.
The method of the invention also comprises the step of opening the movable knife to a position beyond the holes of the needle plate. In one embodiment, step S10 further includes: before the needle passes through the needle plate hole, the movable knife is controlled to be opened, so that the upper thread can pass through the needle plate hole and a space between the fixed knife and the movable knife and then enters the rotating shuttle. In another embodiment, step S10 further includes: after the upper thread end is taken to the lower part of the needle plate and before the next needle passes through the needle plate hole, the movable cutter is controlled to be opened, so that the upper thread can pass through the space between the fixed cutter and the movable cutter, and the upper thread can be hooked by the movable cutter. The former embodiment is performed before the operation of bringing the upper thread end under the needle plate is performed, and the latter embodiment is performed after the upper thread end is brought under the needle plate and before the operation of controlling the movable blade to hook the upper thread end to the stop limit is performed. The movable blade opening degree in the above two embodiments is to ensure that the distance between the movable trimming blade and the stationary trimming blade is sufficiently large, and the movable trimming blade does not interfere with operations such as needle setting. When the existing thread trimming device adopts two movable cutters, the opening degree between the two movable cutters needs to be controlled, like the way that the two movable cutters are controlled to be opened at the same time, or one movable cutter is controlled to be kept still as a thread trimming fixed cutter, and the other movable cutter is controlled to be opened.
The method of the present invention further comprises a needle thread clamping control. The method relies on the needle thread holder on the embroidery machine to perform. The upper thread gripper is the upper thread gripper on the existing embroidery machine. The invention ensures that the upper thread can be favorably bound and is not easy to break when being bound through the upper thread clamping matching control.
