Above-mentioned front side 61L of slotted hole portion and the 63L both of rear side slotted hole portion are the slotted holes that forms along X-direction, and they were inserted by preceding pin 62L and back pin 64L respectively, with this button keeping arm 25L were being kept along moving to X-direction under the state of Y direction.Button keeping arm 25R is like this too.

In addition, as shown in Figure 6, button keeping arm 25L and button keeping arm 25R are by along the helical spring of Y direction and they are granted the elastic force that always furthers mutually.

Above-mentioned front side connecting rod 66L and rear side connecting rod 67L have same length, and owing to its two ends are connected respectively on moving body 65 and the button keeping arm 25L in the mode of freely rotating, so the distance between the tie point of the two ends of each connecting rod always keeps certain.Thereby, by the rotation of each connecting rod 66L, 67L, make with respect to the variation of the distance between the fulcrum of two connecting rods of the button keeping arm 25L of moving body 65 and can keep homogeneous.Here, the moving of the Y direction of button keeping arm 25L, owing to be subjected to the regulation of each 61L of slotted hole portion, 61R, so, by moving of moving body 60, be merely able to make button keeping arm 25L to move to X-direction.Button keeping arm 25R is like this too.

In addition, switch be a double-lift with cylinder 68, can initiatively switch to be in output shaft and to give prominence to and return two states.Thereby, button maintaining part switching mechanism 60 can make moving body 65 move to positive and negative Y direction by switch with cylinder 68, with this make each button keeping arm 25L, 25R can be freely near with leave, therefore can often seize or remove button B a on both sides by the arms by each button holding member 26L, 26R.

(button erects mechanism)

Erect the 70L of mechanism, 70R and describe based on Fig. 5,6 pairs of buttons.Button erects the 70L of mechanism, 70R, is configured in respectively on button keeping arm 25L, the 25R, and by coming from the locomotivity of button maintained switch mechanism 60, moves along X-direction respectively simultaneously with button keeping arm 25L, 25R.This button erects 70L of mechanism and 70R, is the benchmark symmetrical structure owing to have to be positioned at their middle Y-Z planes, and therefore following erects the 70L of mechanism to button and describe.

Button erects the 70L of mechanism, have: the output connecting rod 72L that the one end is connected with the turning cylinder of button holding member 26L, be connected the input connecting rod 71L midway of button keeping arm 25L with the one end free to rotately, be connected the other end of exporting connecting rod 72L in mode free to rotate with the one end, the kinematic link 73L that its other end of while is connected with the other end of input connecting rod 71L in the mode that can freely rotate, with input connecting rod 71L is applied erecting of rotatory force use cylinder 74L and button B a from level (plane, place, hole of button is the state along X-Y plane) in the state that erects (plane, place, hole of button is the state along the X-Z plane) rotation, spacer pin 75L is used in erecting that the above output of restriction connecting rod 72L rotates.

Above-mentioned each connecting rod 71L, 72L, 73L, the turning cylinder at any one its two ends has constituted quadric chain thus all along X-direction.On the other hand, erect and use cylinder 74L, because its output shaft front end, by passing the middle part of being located at input connecting rod 71L and being connected on the connecting rod 71L, so the straight line back and forth movement of this output shaft is just as the rotatory force that puts on input connecting rod 71L sleekly along the turning cylinder of the slotted hole of connecting rod longitudinally.Because the front end of input connecting rod 71L and the front end of output connecting rod 72L are kept the homogeneous distance by kinematic link 73L, so when input connecting rod 71L was applied rotatory force, output connecting rod 72L also can be subjected to the effect of rotatory force.

In addition, erecting with cylinder 74L is double-lift, can switch on one's own initiative to be in the outstanding of output shaft and to return two states.

Promptly, under the state of Fig. 6, erecting when shrinking back with the output shaft of cylinder 74L, output connecting rod 72L rotates and contacts, stops with erecting with spacer pin 75 to clockwise direction, when more from then on state erect with the output shaft of cylinder 74L when outstanding, output connecting rod 72L reinstates cylinder 74L and stops in the stroke end to counterclockwise rotating to exist side by side.

(second connecting rod mechanism)

As shown in Figure 1, second connecting rod mechanism 15 is the U font of distortion, in the upper end that is equivalent to the U word, connecting respectively with first connecting rod mechanism 20 in the X-direction two sides along the pars intermedia of Y direction and can freely rotate.In addition, on the lower end position that is equivalent to the U word, be connected pedestal 10 positive Y direction front end and can freely rotate.Two turning cylinders with respect to first connecting rod mechanism 20 of second connecting rod mechanism 15, it is all parallel along directions X to be located along the same line.In addition, as shown in Figure 5, second connecting rod mechanism 15 is connected pedestal fulcrum 18 on the pedestal 10, also is towards X-direction and can rotates and axially be free to slide with respect to pedestal 10.Thereby first connecting rod mechanism 20 is coming and going along X-direction when mobile by X-axis mechanism 40, and second connecting rod mechanism 15 can come and go mobile with first connecting rod mechanism 20 simultaneously.

(X-axis mechanism)

Secondly, X-axis mechanism 40 is described.X-axis mechanism 40 has: the motor that is supported on button sewing machine 100 main stands keeps support 41, remain on this motor towards Y direction with its output shaft and keep X-axis motor 42 on support 41, with the pinion 43 on the output shaft that is assemblied in X-axis motor 42, also can be free to slide with being supported on the motor maintenance support 41 along X-direction, have the rack member 44 of the pole shape of the tooth-strip part that meshes with pinion 43 simultaneously, with possess along the Y direction long through-hole and be fixedly supported on support holes parts 46 (with reference to Fig. 6) in the first connecting rod mechanism 20 and its upper end (end of positive Z-direction) is fixedly connected at the rack member 44 of pole shape, lower end (end of negative Z-direction) passes the power transmission shaft 45 of support holes parts 46 slotted holes simultaneously.

Be formed at the slotted hole of above-mentioned support holes parts 46, its length direction is towards the width of the X-direction of Y direction and this slotted hole, and the scope that can insert in the lower end of power transmission shaft 45 is with the width basically identical of the X-direction of the lower end of this power transmission shaft 45.On the other hand, power transmission shaft 45 vertically down is supported on the pole shape rack member 44, and slotted hole is inserted from the top of support holes parts 46 in its lower end simultaneously.And the lower end of this power transmission shaft 45 is passed slotted hole and is made it in the width of X-direction and the width homogenization that can insert slotted hole along Z-direction with the length of regulation.

Thereby, driving by above-mentioned X-axis motor 42, when applying locomotivity towards X-direction by 43 pairs of pole shapes of pinion rack member 44, power transmission shaft 45 moves simultaneously with pole shape rack member 44, its lower end contacts with the inside of the slotted hole of support holes parts 46, and first connecting rod mechanism 20 integral body are moved to X-direction.In addition, as mentioned above, be freely, so these connecting rods 20,15 can move along X-direction with respect to pedestal 10 simultaneously because first connecting rod mechanism 20 and second connecting rod mechanism 15 move along coming and going of X-direction with respect to pedestal 10.Consequently, the button B a that is maintained at the front end of first connecting rod mechanism 20 also can move to X-direction.

And, even when applying the locomotivity of Z-direction by 50 pairs of second connecting rod mechanisms 20 of Z axis mechanism, because the lower end edge Z-direction equalization of power transmission shaft 45, so the inside of the slotted hole of support holes parts 46, slide, and can not hinder first connecting rod mechanism 20 moving to Z-direction along the lower end of power transmission shaft 45.This is like this too when moving of X-direction carried out simultaneously with moving of Z-direction.

In addition, support holes parts 46, owing to cooperate with power transmission shaft 45 by slotted hole along Y direction, so, even first connecting rod mechanism 20 and pedestal 10 be subjected to simultaneously that Y-axis mechanism 30 applied when the locomotivity of Y direction, also can relatively move along slotted hole, so can not hinder first connecting rod mechanism 20 moving towards Y direction because of the lower end of power transmission shaft 45.This is like this too when moving of X-direction carried out simultaneously with moving of Y direction, and, when X-direction move with Y direction move and Z-direction move when carrying out simultaneously like this too.

Thereby the formation of power transmission shaft 45 and support holes parts 46 just can will pass to the move left and right transmission mechanism of button holding member 26L, 26R by above-mentioned X-axis mechanism 40 towards the locomotivity of X-direction as following the mobile of Y direction and Z-direction.

(Z axis mechanism)

Secondly, based on Fig. 3 Z axis mechanism 50 is described.Z axis mechanism 50 has: the motor that is supported on button sewing machine 100 main stands keeps support 50a, be maintained at the Z axle motor 51 that this motor keeps support 50a towards Z-direction with its output shaft, with the worm screw 52 on the output shaft that is assemblied in Z axle motor 51, with make turning cylinder be supported on motor to keep support 50a to go up and worm gear 53 free to rotate with state along X-direction, with with the worm gear 53 coaxial input connecting rods 54 that are connected, be connected rotation end and the kinematic link 55 free to rotate of importing connecting rod 54 with the one end, be connected with the other end of kinematic link 55 and straight moving connecting rod 56 free to rotate with its upper end, with be supported on Sewing machines 100 main stands and make the straight moving connecting rod 56 can only be along the straight-line straight action-oriented spare 57 of Z-direction, with the one end is fixedly connected on the connecting rod 58 of straight moving connecting rod 56 lower ends and is connected the L shaped clava 59 that the front end of the other end of connecting rod 58 extends downwards towards Y direction.

Above-mentioned worm gear 53 is connected with the turning cylinder of input connecting rod 54 along X-direction, imports connecting rod 54 simultaneously and roughly is connected on the turning cylinder under the state of Y direction at its longitudinally.Thereby the rotation of worm screw 52 is to be transformed into the result who rotates around X-axis, is that move along Z-direction roughly within the specific limits the end of the outlet side of input connecting rod 54.The locomotivity of this Z-direction is to pass to straight moving connecting rod 56 by kinematic link 55.

As mentioned above, directly moving connecting rod 56 is supported on the straight action-oriented spare 57.This straight action-oriented spare 57 has the straight of pole shape and move the pilot hole towards Z-direction that connecting rod 56 can insert under the state that runs through, and this pilot hole being provided with makes the straight bearing that connecting rod 56 can slide that moves.Therefore, directly moving connecting rod 56 can only move along Z-direction, and in the displacement along Y direction that front end produced of input connecting rod 54, and the rotation at the two ends by connecting rod 55 is eliminated.

Above-mentioned connecting rod 58 and L shaped clava 59, with straight moving connecting rod 56 1 in the same way Z-direction move.L shaped clava 59, portion bends to the right angle therebetween, with at the intersection of bending, an end towards Y direction and other end position is connected this other end on the connecting rod 58 towards the state of Z-direction.

In addition, L shaped clava 59 tangles the cramp bar portion 83 of the swing part described later 82 that is assemblied in first connecting rod mechanism 20 with its position towards Y direction, and the front end edge Z-direction of first connecting rod mechanism 20 is moved.And, no matter whether move to Z-direction, when first connecting rod mechanism 20 when Y direction moves, the bearing bar portion 83 by swing part 82 moves sliding on the position of Y direction of L shaped clava 59 along Y direction, and can not hinder moving of this Y direction.

In addition, it is bar-shaped that the bearing bar portion 83 of swing part 82 also is the garden, and its length direction is towards being assembled in the first connecting rod mechanism 20 under the state of X-direction.Therefore, no matter whether move, when X-direction moves, on the position of Y direction, the moving of L shaped clava 59, can not hinder moving of this directions X to the slip of X-direction by bearing bar portion 83 in first connecting rod mechanism 20 to Z-direction.

Therefore, the length along the Y direction position of L shaped clava 59, be configured to button holding device at least 1 predetermined with respect to button B a more than the necessary amount of movement of Y direction, equally, the length of bearing bar portion 83, also be configured at least will button holding device 1 predetermined with respect to button B a along more than the necessary amount of movement of X-direction.

Thereby the formation of L shaped clava 59 and bearing bar portion 83 is followed the moving of X-direction and Y direction, the limit will pass to button holding member 26L, 26R towards the locomotivity of Z-direction by above-mentioned Z axis mechanism 50 the transmission mechanism that moves up and down as the limit exactly.

(flotation line mechanism)

Describe based on Fig. 3,8,9,10 pairs of flotation line mechanisms 80.This flotation line mechanism 80 has: at the positive Y direction end of the main board 22 of first connecting rod mechanism 20 and be fixed and be assemblied in Support bracket 81 on the positive X-direction end, with by this Support bracket 81 by along the supported free to rotately swing part 82 of the turning cylinder of X-direction, with in the positive Y direction end of the main board 22 of first connecting rod mechanism 20 and the maintenance framework 86 that is fixed and is assemblied in the X-direction middle part, with by this Support bracket 86 by free to rotate supported along the turning cylinder of Z-direction, while is corresponding to the kinematic link 85 that the one end is subjected to revolving force that shakes of swing part 82, with by Support bracket 86 by supported free to rotately along the turning cylinder of Z-direction, and cooperate with the other end of kinematic link 85 and the guide link 87 that is rotated, with can support in Z-direction by this guide link 87 with moving freely, and the excellent supporter 91 that rotates with this guide link 87, be supported on the excellent supporter 91 with its cardinal extremity, and pass through as required its front-end configuration between two button holes of eedle 101 1 sides of button B a, stay the flotation line rod 90 of the line length of the sewing thread that when button, will use in advance around root, with the moving up and down motor 92 that remains on the maintenance carriage 86, be subjected to rotatory force with being subjected to by this moving up and down motor 92 to the straight dynamic component 93 of the locomotivity of Y direction with by this straight dynamic component 93, and the output connecting rod 94 that excellent supporter 91 is moved by its rotational action along Z-direction.

Above-mentioned Support bracket 81 has along the compound direction of positive Y direction and positive Z-direction and erects two support arms that are provided with, and is supporting the upper end of swing part 82 and free to rotate by the turning cylinder along X-direction in view of the above.

On the other hand, swing part 82 possesses with above-mentioned turning cylinder and is the center, extends the position that is provided with along two radial directions, and in one side, is fixedly mounting above-mentioned bearing bar portion 83 with the state along X-direction.This cramp bar portion 83, the L shaped clava 59 by the Z axis mechanism is sling to Z-direction, and with this, swing part 80 integral body are rotated with respect to Support bracket 81.And when swing part 82 rotated with the regulation angle, the position along the opposing party's radial direction extension setting of this swing part 82 contacted with the locating part 81a that is assemblied in Support bracket 81, and restriction is further rotated.Therefore, when at swing part 82 under the state of limited 81a restriction, when Z axis mechanism 50 was sling L shaped clava 59, this masterpiece of slinging was used for first connecting rod mechanism 20 integral body, its result, the button B a that is seized on both sides by the arms on each button holding member 26L, 26R moves along Z-direction.

So in other words, swing part 82 only just can make kinematic link 85 rotate at the primary position that leaves from locating part 81a to a certain degree to the scope that touches the locating part 81a.In addition, along the opposing party's of swing part 82 radial direction and at an end that extends the position that is provided with, be equipped with mating holes parts 84.These mating holes parts 84 as shown in Figure 9, are the slotted holes that is the U word shape along X-direction, and this slotted hole is formed on the embedded reeve of nose circle shape projection on the end of kinematic link 85.This nose circle shape projection, for front end is the middle thin shape of circle, when swing part 82 rotated in above-mentioned scope, mating holes parts 84 moved along Y direction, are subjected to this locomotivity and make kinematic link 85 unitary rotation.

And, be formed with the slotted hole of getting through at the other end of kinematic link 85.Being inserted in this slotted hole of all secondary axis of guides 89 of guide link 87 along the outstanding upper end of positive Z-direction.This guide link 87 can be connected on the maintenance framework 86 freely to rotate by the main axis of guide 88 along Z-direction.The secondary axis of guide 89 is to be arranged on the guide link 87 with this main axis of guide 88 state arranged side by side.Therefore, by the rotation of kinematic link 85, by the secondary axis of guide 89, guide link 87 is subjected to rotating around the rotatory force of the main axis of guide 88.

Then, this pair axis of guide 89, (with reference to Fig. 2) rotates to the counter clockwise direction of seeing from the top by extension spring, is subjected to the effect of tension force so always.Therefore, by this tension force, above-mentioned swing part 82, by kinematic link 85 be subjected to always one from this pair axis of guide 89, towards the elastic force of leaving on the locating part 81a direction, when cramp bar portion 83 was not subjected to tensile force by Z axis mechanism 50, swing part 82 was just kept the state that this contact site leaves locating part 81a certain distance.

In addition, keep the rod of flotation line rod 90 to keep body 91, supported slidably along capstan 88 and the secondary axis of guide 89 both sides, the above-mentioned secondary axis of guide 89, owing to be subjected to the tension force of tension spring, this rod keeps body 91 that the leading section of flotation line rod 90 is rotated along the top direction that is set at the button B a that remains in button holding member 26L, 26R always.Promptly, Z axis mechanism 50, the cramp bar portion 83 of the pull-up swing part 82 that makes progress by L shaped clava 59 by kinematic link 85 and guide link 87, makes the flotation line rod 90 opposing tension springs that are in set condition above button B a and rotates to the direction that withdraws from above button B a.In addition, as mentioned above, when flotation line rod 90 under the state that fully withdraws from, Z axis mechanism 50 further makes L shaped clava 59 when positive Z-direction moves, button holding member 26L, 26R also move to equidirectional.

And rod keeps body 91 to slide along the axis of guide 88,89, and being formed with the edge is the mating groove 91a of the circumferencial direction at center in its outside with the axis of guide 88.Then, be arranged on the projection of the rotation end of output connecting rod 94,91a cooperates with this mating groove.Such as mentioned above, output connecting rod 94 is owing to be subjected to by the driving that moves up and down motor 92 coming and going the rotatory force of the straight dynamic component 93 that moves along Y direction, so the rotation end that can make output connecting rod 94 moves along the direction of Z axle roughly.Therefore, by moving up and down the rotation of motor 92, output connecting rod 94 rotates, and the rod that is being supported slidably keeps body 91 to move and the decision position respectively along just tossing about of Z-direction.In addition, rod keeps body 91, because by being combined together with the projection of output connecting rod 94 along the mating groove 91 of the circumferencial direction that is the center with the main axis of guide 88, so, even move up and down from 94 inputs of output connecting rod, also can not hinder with the main axis of guide 88 is the rotation at center, can switch the setting of flotation line rod 90 and withdraws from, and may determine the position of its front end edge Z-direction.

Therefore, moving up and down the mechanism that motor 92, straight dynamic component 93 and output connecting rod 94 formed just is equivalent to as the mechanism of decision flotation line rod with respect to the upper-lower position of button.

(action specification)

Below, the action by the above-mentioned button sewing machine 100 that carries out of action controlling organization is illustrated.The action controlling organization specifically is made of arithmetic units such as comprising CPU, ROM, RAM, carries out in these devices the control of the action of each one shown in the note down by regulated procedure is input to.And, the user of button sewing machine, also be provided with on this action controlling organization put into new button, whether carry out around the height and position of root, button set, the not shown input mechanism of the external diameter of button, the input usefulness such as instruction that begin as the sign on of the interval between two holes of button of nail catcher object, nail catcher operation and around the root operation, according to the content of importing by this input mechanism, the action of control each several part.

At first, when putting into the instruction of (supply) new button in input, the action controlling organization just sends instruction to the negative direction rotating drive to the Y-axis motor 31 of Y-axis mechanism 30, makes button holding member 26L, 26R retreat into the position of putting into of regulation from the position of eedle bottom.In addition, at this moment the Z axle motor 51 of Z axis mechanism 50 is sent instruction to positive direction rotating drive, make button holding member 26L, 26R rise to the height of putting into of regulation.And, in the exercises of button sewing machine 100, knob when putting into, button holding member 26L, 26R carry out in the extreme higher position.At this moment, even the swing part 82 of flotation line mechanism 80 touches locating part 81a, because the L shaped clava 59 of Z axis mechanism is in the state that is moved upward, so flotation line rod 90 is rotated and is in exit status.

In case button holding member 26L, 26R are after the position of the supply height of putting into position, regulation of regulation is determined, the action control device just to the switch of button maintained switch mechanism 60 with the cylinder 68 (pump of the supply cylinder air of correctly saying so or be arranged at switch electromagnetic valve on the air feed road, below, identical in the action specification of cylinder) send the action command that moving body 65 is moved to negative Y direction.Therefore, open the interval of each button keeping arm 25L, 25R, can keep button.In addition, button sewing machine has not shown button loader mechanism, and button is supplied with in the below that this button loader mechanism is supplied with the position from button.Therefore, each button keeping arm 25L, 25R are under the state that reaches out, and the action controlling organization is controlled button holding member 26L, 26R by Z axis mechanism 50 and made it drop to the height of the button that the button loader mechanism kept.Then,, the interval of each button keeping arm 25L, 25R is diminished, seize button on both sides by the arms by button holding member 26L, 26R by the action of switch with cylinder 68.

In case button is seized on both sides by the arms, the action controlling organization rises button holding member 26L, 26R by Z axis mechanism 50 once more, and the insertion height and position under the eedle of decision regulation.In addition, below eedle 101, being used to follow closely the cloth of button, the position of nail catcher button is remained on to the outstanding state of negative Y direction, is that the optimum height of the insertion of button is determined in advance between this cloth and eedle 101.

And, in case button holding member 26L, 26R insert eedle and are determined the position of height down, the action controlling organization is just controlled Y-axis mechanism 30, button holding member 26L, 26R are moved to positive Y direction, and, two button holes of carrying out nail catcher are earlier located on the relative position with respect to the regulation of eedle 101 by the coordination between Y-axis mechanism 30 and the X-axis mechanism 40.

After will being maintained at button B a on button holding member 26L, the 26R, being positioned on the position under the eedle, the action controlling organization by Z axis mechanism 50, is regulated the height of button holding member 26L, 26R.That is, according to whether being the button B a that carries out around root, button holding member 26L, 26R are located on either party nail catcher height of two kinds of different height.In addition, the position of the height of the insertion under any eedle of this nail catcher aspect ratio is all low.

At first, do not carry out under the situation of nail catcher height (the first nail catcher height) in setting around root, the action controlling organization, the L shaped clava 59 of Z axis mechanism 50 is moved along negative Z-direction, can not open again the state before the big extreme angles and can keep the swing part 82 of flotation line parts 80 and the height of locating part 81a state of contact until first connecting rod mechanism 20 drops to respect to pedestal 10.Under this state, because swing part 82 is kept the contact condition with locating part 81a, so the exit status of flotation line parts 90 is maintained.Therefore, when following closely button B a, can not guarantee the space on the line of nail catcher around root with the nail catcher height

Secondly, setting implementation under the situation of the nail catcher height (the second nail catcher height) of root, the action controlling organization, the L shaped clava 59 of Z axis mechanism 50 is moved along negative Z-direction, until drop to the state that can not open again big extreme angles with respect to pedestal 10, and leave from the swing part 82 of flotation line parts 80 in first connecting rod mechanism 20.Under this state because swing part 82 decontroled and left locating part 81a from L shaped clava 59, so the elasticity of the tension spring of flotation line parts 90 by being arranged on the auxilliary axis of guide 89 rotate, its front end be inserted into and eedle 101 and button B a between.So, therefore, when with nail catcher height nail button B a, can guarantee space to nail catcher wire-wound root.

In addition, the action controlling organization, the height of the L shaped clava 59 by control Z axis mechanism 50, can be at button holding member 26L, the 26R state that (the first nail catcher height) flotation line rod 90 withdraws from the high position, button holding member 26L, 26R cuts between the two states of the state that lower position (the second nail catcher height) flotation line rod 90 is inserted into and replaces, and, can not open again under the state of big extreme angles by dropping to respect to pedestal 10 in first connecting rod mechanism 20, with on the height that is maintained in the swing part 82 of flotation line parts 80 and locating part 81a state of contact with L shaped clava 59 location of Z axis mechanism 50, can be with button holding member 26L, 26R is set in the second nail catcher height, by making flotation line rod 90 in exit status.Can not guarantee space when under this state, carrying out nail catcher to nail catcher wire-wound root.

Button holding member 26L, 26R just begin to follow closely button B a behind the position that has determined the first or second nail catcher height.That is, go into eedle submitting interfix along Y direction two holes arranged side by side, with button B a nail on cloth.At this moment, when being at flotation line rod 90 when being inserted into state, stride across its front end, eedle inserted and carried out button B a alternately between two holes of button nail catcher.Like this, the front end by flotation line rod 90 is configured between two holes of button, makes the front end that strides across flotation line rod 90 with line and is sewed up, therefore, even after nail catcher is intact, also can make button and cloth leave a determining deviation, form suitable cloth and button B a around radical space.In addition, because the front end of flotation line rod 90 is thinner than the interval point in two button holes, so make button leave a determining deviation with as nail catcher the time from cloth, make the eedle that is in vertical direction move, compare by moving horizontally descend again in the position in the adjacent button hole situation of this so-called three steps of decision eedle then, the rising that makes eedle with can carry out simultaneously basically to moving of adjacent button hole, thereby can improve the speed of nail button.

In addition, when button has four holes, along two holes of Y direction button after nail catcher finishes, the action controlling organization, decide the position of button holding member 26L, 26R by X-axis mechanism, so that make adjacent to be in the below of eedle 101, and carry out same nail catcher action along two holes of Y direction button arranged side by side.

Below further specify the action of above-mentioned execution around root step below the nail catcher situation.In case nail catcher finishes, the mechanism that respectively erects that the action controlling organization makes button erect mechanism 70 moves with cylinder 74L, 74R.Therefore, remain on the button B a and the button holding member 26L of level, 26R rotates to vertical direction simultaneously.Therefore, bottom surface one side of button B a becomes vertical state with regard to the negative outstanding cloth of Y direction of vertical plane subtend.From then on state, the action controlling organization further makes button holding member 26L by Y- axis mechanism 30, and 26R moves to negative Y direction, thereby makes button B a leave the distance that only need carry out around the necessary length of root from cloth.

Under above-mentioned state, eedle is moved up and down to carry out around root with the state of between cloth and button B a, holding suture under the arm.In addition, the maintaining part that keeps cloth by not shown to Y direction travel mechanism and can move.Therefore,, cooperate moving up and down of eedle in root action, seized on both sides by the arms button B a on button holding member 26L, 26R with cloth simultaneously along Y direction round mobile in the scope of root length.

And around the root knot bundle time, the action controlling organization makes the switch of button maintaining part switching mechanism 60 move with cylinder 68 and decontrols button B a.Then, cloth is changed to new button nail catcher position, and accept the new button put into.And then repeat same action.

Like this, button sewing machine 100, owing to constitute similar Scott-Russell mechanism with first connecting rod mechanism 20 and second connecting rod mechanism 15 by pedestal 10, so, even making button need move along Z-direction, also the displacement of Y direction can be reduced to negligible scope, need not carry out Correction and Control and just can carry out the nail catcher operation.

In addition, because button maintaining part switching mechanism 60, at each button keeping arm 25L, 25R separately and between the moving body 65, the front and back side is coupled together and constitutes with two connecting rod 66L, 66R, 67L, 67R, therefore can make two parallel moving of button keeping arm 25L, 25R and keep button B a, and also can seize the two ends of its diameter on both sides by the arms, thereby can keep good hold mode for the different various buttons of external diameter.

Embodiments of the invention more than have been described, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, only otherwise the scope that departs from its main points just can have various forms.

(invention effect)

1 described invention as the present invention, owing to keep button by similar Scott-Russell mechanism, so, except the space of button maintaining part top belay configuration eedle, the departing from of position on the fore-and-aft direction that the rotation because of first connecting rod mechanism causes can also be reduced effectively, thereby moving up and down of button can be carried out.

As the present invention's 2 described inventions, be connected on the moving body by the equal in length of keeping arm and by two parallel connecting rods, the rotating fulcrum of each connecting rod is made of the quadric chain that forms parallelogram.Thereby, not only kept the parastate of each button keeping arm but also can carry out reposefully by moving of moving body near the action of leaving.

And, because parallel the moving by each button keeping arm held button under the arm from both sides, so the situation of holding under the arm with each button keeping arm rotation is compared, button at various different models, can both seize on both sides by the arms in the end positions of its radius, can get rid of for the button of different model and the situation of run-off the straight the maintenance action that can stablize button effectively.

As the present invention's 3 described inventions, left and right directions travel mechanism, by the move left and right transmission mechanism, along with respect to button maintaining part moving of direction up and down, direction moves to the left and right simultaneously.If, the situation that can not move with above-below direction for left and right directions travel mechanism, above-below direction travel mechanism and left and right directions travel mechanism make simultaneously the button maintaining part up and down direction move, along with moving up and down, this must the button maintaining part be moved to the left and right by left and right directions travel mechanism, mobile object is maximized, but pass through said structure, independent with the button maintaining part, the locomotivity of direction up and down and the locomotivity of direction to the left and right can be applied from the outside, mobile object miniaturization, lightweight can be made like this.Therefore, can make rapidization that move of button maintaining part, and improve locating accuracy.And, can reduce the output of each travel mechanism's drive source, make equipment miniaturization and reduce energy consumption.

As the present invention's 4 described inventions, fore-and-aft direction travel mechanism, by moving forward and backward transmission mechanism with respect to the button maintaining part along with moving of above-below direction can make its forwards, backwards direction move.So, according to the same reason of the present invention's 3 described inventions, can make mobile object miniaturization, lightweight, can make rapidization that move of button maintaining part, and raising positioning accuracy, simultaneously, can lower the output of each travel mechanism's drive source, make equipment miniaturization and reduce energy consumption.

As the present invention's 5 described inventions, all directions travel mechanism, by all directions movement and transmission mechanism, can be with respect to the button maintaining part along with carry out moving of all directions to other two direction mobile.So, according to the same reason of the present invention's 3 or 4 described inventions, needn't comprise by in the mobile object of each travel mechanism to the travel mechanism of other direction, can make mobile object miniaturization, lightweight, can make rapidization that move of button maintaining part, and improve positioning accuracy, simultaneously, can reduce the output of each travel mechanism's drive source, make equipment miniaturization and reduce energy consumption.

As the present invention's 6 described inventions, owing to above-below direction travel mechanism, carry out moving up and down of button maintaining part by worm gear pair mechanism, so the output torque in rotational power source can be transformed into high torque (HT) and be applied to the button maintaining part.Therefore, small-sized drive source can be used, integral miniaturization, the lightweight of device can be made like this as the output torque of source of rotational drive.In addition, worm gear pair mechanism has further made contribution for the miniaturization of device compared with the easier miniaturization of big pinion gear mechanism.

As the present invention's 7 described inventions, insert the button top owing to will liken the flotation line parts that span for two buttons of nail catcher object possesses thinner front end to, so can dwindle the amplitude of the eedle when root.Therefore, when the nail catcher of carrying out around root, eedle needn't pass through these three steps of risings-balancing point-decline, can be in rising this two step of execution balancing point-decline, so just can make and change rapidly around the nail catcher of root.

And, because the shared drive source of flotation line mechanism and above-below direction travel mechanism, thus the number of necessary drive source reduced, can be when enhancing productivity so that equipment miniaturization, lightweight.

8 described inventions as the present invention, because the locomotivity in the time of will moving in the part of the moving range of the movable part that makes above-below direction travel mechanism, part is as the power source that moves up and down of button maintaining part, and, the a part of locomotivity when mobile of other that will be in making the movable part moving range, part is as the insertion of flotation line parts or withdraw from the power source of action, so, by only controlling action with respect to the movable part of reciprocating mechanism, can realize moving up and down with the insertion of flotation line parts and withdrawing from the control of two kinds of actions of button maintaining part, control system is oversimplified.

As the present invention's 9 described inventions, owing to can regulate the height of flotation line parts front end with respect to button, so also can be adjusted to the line length around the nail catcher line of root, its result makes and can freely set around the length of root.

10 described inventions as the present invention, because flotation line mechanism can move up and down and can be that the slide plate that rotates at the center is regulated the flotation line parts and inserted and withdraw from action and height with the axis of guide by the axis of guide with along the axis of guide, so, originally needed two kinds of mechanisms of rotating mechanism and straight-moving mechanism, and only need a kind of mechanism just can realize now, reduce the number of parts when device is oversimplified, and can improve the production efficiency of device.
