On sewing or embroidery machine, be used for changing the device of the shuttle that is used for looper thread
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of device that on double-lock type stitch sewing or embroidery machine, is used for changing the shuttle that is used for looper thread.
Background technology
Double-lock type stitch sewing machine has a shuttle that has a shuttle tip of catching the sewing thread coil usually, and shuttle also has one and is bearing in end cover (Unterkapsel) in the shuttle together with the bobbin case that is held by this end cover.Here end cover be equipped with one with the draw pin of concentric settings of shuttle axle, it in bobbin case inserts the end cover time embedding be arranged in the hollow cylinder inside its, itself supports and holds the shuttle that looper thread is laid in.
On the draw pin that bobbin case is fixed on end cover, it is equipped with a kerf in the stub area that it stretches out from shuttle, and one holding screw that is arranged on above it embeds in this otch in the time of in bobbin case inserts end cover.Holding screw can overcome a spring force and move in bobbin case and have a hole, so that draw pin passes the big certain amount of the diameter of this boring ratio draw pin.Thus holding screw is fixed on the one terminal position, prevent that bobbin case from dropping out from end cover, but and can by means of a gyration be arranged in the bobbin case and overcome spring force and move on another terminal position that unclamps bobbin case with bobbin case lid that holding screw is connected movingly, bobbin case can take out from end cover or shuttle on this terminal position.Thereby in this position of holding screw and particularly both prevented when it takes out also when bobbin case is packed into that shuttle from dropping out from bobbin case, the one rectangular flange of bending basically is set on holding screw, it passes one and is arranged on groove on the bobbin case wall and inserts into the inner in the chamber and fixing shuttle, prevents that it from dropping out from bobbin case.
For the ease of the operation of bobbin case lid, its free end is bent away from bobbin case slightly, and can not be operated the person more easily and catch, so that bobbin case is taken out from end cover or pack into.
Because shuttle can only hold not oversize looper thread, therefore need often to change shuttle and the taking-up of the bobbin case that brings thus and reloading, the known device that is used for changing shuttle or bobbin case, they are with the manual replacing of technological means imitation shuttle.
In EP 0829565 A1 766, introduced a kind of device that is used for changing bobbin case, it has a hook by a movable bracket supports, this hook is caught its lid in order to take out bobbin case, and give its gyration corresponding to manual movement, fit at the correspondence position that gyration end lid and forms on support.Make holding screw do corresponding transverse movement thus, thereby unclamp bobbin case, and shift out from end cover by the support that can on the track of a regulation, move together with shuttle.Here movement locus designs like this, make support shape move sealedly, and at first be parallel to the motion of shuttle axis, it is transformed into gyration then, motion under then being tilted to, last bobbin case are handed to one and are arranged on the receiving system of side, shuttle below.
Similarly being equipped with the bobbin case of expiring shuttle packs in the end cover.Because thus not only its from shuttle when receiving system moves but also only fixing to force closure by hook from receiving system bobbin case when shuttle moves, it must cover at bobbin case duration of its motion whole and apply sizable thrust.
In by the device of US-PS 5718181, hook the hook that its bobbin case covers from behind in order to catch bobbin case also to be provided with one, similar with the device of pressing EP0829565, lid is pressed between moving period on the corresponding backstop to shuttle to receiving system or from it from shuttle at bobbin case.Because form a tongue piece simultaneously on this backstop, this tongue piece embeds when bobbin case lid is in its terminal position in the breach that is arranged on above it, and bobbin case is stated between moving period the sealed and part force closure ground of part shape thereon and fixed.
Here shortcoming is, bobbin case is transferred on the receiving system and transferred to above it from shuttle and is divided into many different motor segments in the shuttle and carries out, so device more complicated of manually changing of this same imitation bobbin case.
Therefore such scheme is hooking the bobbin case lid and part shape is sealed, be fitted in to the part force closure under the situation on the corresponding backstop from behind being only limited to aspect the manual replacing of imitation bobbin case by mechanical structure.
Be used on the double-lock type stitch sewing machine that has the shuttle that in vertical plane, rotates, mechanically carrying out the device of bobbin case or bobbin changer by DE-PS 1 206 713 known another kinds, wherein bobbin case takes out from shuttle along a track that is parallel to the shuttle axis, and moves to the receiving position of receiving system.Wherein as bobbin changer mechanism be provided with one can with the concentric electromagnet and a slide block that can move therewith and be connected that is provided with movably of shuttle axis with electromagnet elasticity.Electromagnet rotates the bobbin case lid, and cancels the locking between the bobbin case and the end cover on the one hand thus, on the other hand shuttle is locked in the bobbin case, and it can not dropped out from its inside when taking out bobbin case subsequently.Because the motion for slide block and electromagnet also additionally needs such mechanism except mechanical mechanism, so this scheme more complicated.
Last DE 199 13 043 A1 disclose a kind of device that is used for double-lock type stitch sewing machine of the same type and one and its bobbin case of matching, wherein cancelled sealing slide block commonly used up to now and operated needed bobbin case lid for it, and with a kind of two-arm spring or put into the doing of draw pin otch resilient ring replacement.Though the structure slightly simplified of bobbin case is made such bobbin case and no longer is applicable to its manual replacing thus.
Summary of the invention
Therefore the objective of the invention is, the device that is used for changing the bobbin case that holds shuttle that will be used for double-lock type stitch sewing machine improves as follows, make to guarantee bobbin case before its transfer movement and during caught reliably and fixed, and do not need to change bobbin case itself, make it both can by means of more changing device change and also can change by hand.
This purpose realizes by such mode, the operating mechanism that promptly is used for opening the bobbin case lid is made of a unlatching finger-type bar that can move between this bobbin case lid and bobbin case end face, and clamping device has two jaws on the longitudinal side boundary face that acts on the bobbin case lid that is opened, each jaw can with open the finger-type bar and be parallel to the orbiting motion stretch journey that the shuttle axis extends along one together, this distance is equivalent to pack into the degree of depth of shuttle of bobbin case at least.Because clamping device can act on the longitudinal side boundary face of opened bobbin case lid with two jaw on the next door near the bobbin case end face thus, and the bobbin case lid is fixed on its enable possition by the unlatching finger-type bar between this bobbin case lid and bobbin case end face, obtains a kind of scheme that the height functional reliability is provided of saving very much the space.
Reach scheme simple in structure by such method, promptly two jaws can be perpendicular to the adjustment part supporting of shuttle axial-movement by one, and the closing with opening movement of at least one in two jaws drawn by the motion of adjustment part.
If the motion of upper gripper jaw is drawn by the motion of adjustment part, the motion of another jaw is drawn by the motion of upper gripper jaw, and scheme can also further be simplified so.
This can realize by such mode in configuration aspects, and promptly be connected through the hinge respectively in order to produce two jaws of counter motion (pin-slotted hole connects) is hinged on one and is supported on the double armed lever of the equiarm on the support.
Just can be used in the double-lock type stitch sewing or embroidery machine with different big or small shuttles in order to make device of the present invention not do big change, vertical range between shuttle axis and two jaws can be by means of an adjustment element adjustment that acts on the adjustment part, and the centre position of two jaws can be complementary with the change in location of the shuttle axle of forcing to cause when the shuttle size changes thus.
If unlatching finger-type bar can be substantially perpendicular in the shuttle axis plane one move, especially revolution is just can reach the operation reliably of bobbin case lid so.
Draw by the motion of adjustment part if open the gyration of finger-type bar, so for realizing that this gyration is favourable.If adjustment part carries out the elevating movement of perpendicular layout and have the pin that stretches in the unlatching finger-type rod guidance approach rail road in order to produce the gyration of opening the finger-type bar, just can realize with simple method in configuration aspects so.
The bobbin case lid skids off from two jaws of clamping device during bobbin case is transported to receiving system or delivers to the replacing position therefrom from the replacing position in order to get rid of, and will open the finger-type rod lock and suit between bobbin case end face and bobbin case lid during carrying.This can realize that promptly guide rails has the zone of causing unlatching finger-type bar to stop by such method.
In order during opening finger-type bar working motion, to treat that rotating bobbin case covers the big as far as possible power that applies, and can be bearing on the bobbin case end face opening the finger-type bar simultaneously, open the finger-type bar and have a wedge shaped tip, wherein be arranged essentially parallel to the tracks of opening the finger-type bar and extend, and side and its tracks of bobbin case lid constitute an acute angle dorsad towards the side of bobbin case end face.Because the end face of bobbin case is not flat, but extending owing to the yarn pulling force is arch, have certain elasticity at least if open the finger-type bar in addition in its tip region, then is favourable.
Has support if be used for receiving the receiving system of the bobbin case of the full shuttle of band to be stored, its receiving mechanism that is used for bobbin case is done identically with the function of the receiving mechanism of the end cover that is used for bobbin case, make and not only can unclamp the locking between draw pin and the bobbin case but also can unclamp locking between pin and the bobbin case by opening the finger-type bar, so just can reach not only when it takes out from shuttle but also when it is received support reception of device, be used for catching the scheme simple in structure of bobbin case.

The specific embodiment
With 1 end in shuttle one side of representing a horizontally disposed shuttle axle, the shuttle axle is bearing in the base plate of a double-lock type stitch sewing machine that does not draw in detail in Fig. 1.The shuttle 2 that is connected with shuttle axle 1 in known manner with (unillustrated) pin cooperating of guiding sewing thread, form linear slit.
Usually put an end cover 3 that is used for installing bobbin case 4 in shuttle 2, bobbin case itself carries a shuttle 5 that the silk thread that stores is installed.For bobbin case 4 is installed, end cover 3 has a draw pin 6, and it is fixed on the bottom surface of end cover 3 in known manner, and is equipped with a kerf 7 in its free end zone.One is fixed on blocking element and otch 7 actings in conjunction on the draw pin 6 with bobbin case 4, and blocking element is designed to slide closure 8, and is equipped with one and surrounds the hole 9 of draw pin 6 with certain interval.Slide closure 8 can be provided with movably transverse to the longitudinal axis of bobbin case 4, and embeds in the otch 7 in bobbin case 4 is packed shuttle 2 into the time, thus it is fixed, and prevents to drop out from shuttle 2.In this position of slide closure 8, right-hand member its square bending and that constitute a hooked flanges 11 is positioned at outside the bobbin case 4, makes shuttle 5 can rotate freely in bobbin case 4.
Hinged in known manner bobbin case lid 12 on slide closure 8, its free end is used as grip region 13 when changing shuttle by hand.The power that bobbin case lid 12 can overcome a unillustrated spring is turned back to a released position of removing bobbin case locking from the locked position of coupler that it leans against on the slide closure 8.Its flange 11 stretches into bobbin case 4 inside on the released position of slide closure 8, and hooks a flange of shuttle 5 here from behind, makes after bobbin case 4 removes lock to prevent to drop out from bobbin case 4.
Bobbin case 4 has a groove 14 that extends on its whole height in the upper area of its front side, its boundary face parallel with its longitudinal axis 15 is arranged on the end and covers retaining element 16,17 actings in conjunction on 3 inwalls with two in known manner.Retaining element 16,17 can be made of two pins, and their mutual distances are equivalent to the width of the groove 14 of bobbin case 4 basically.Stipulate thus and fixedly bobbin case 4 with respect to the position of the end cover 3 of this bobbin case of supporting.
Both obtained end cover 3 by above-mentioned explanation and also particularly obtained bobbin case 4, without any variation, so bobbin case 4 also can take out from shuttle 2 or end cover 3 by hand with respect to its common structure for they.
The device that is used for changing bobbin case 4 has one and makes L shaped support 18 basically, and it can be parallel to 1 motion of shuttle axle.Support 18 is equipped with boss 19 for this reason, and they surround the guide rail 20 that is parallel to shuttle axle 1.Support 18 can be positioned on bobbin case that a bobbin case 4 that takes out band hollow bobbin 5 from shuttle 2 maybe will the full shuttle 5 of band and inserts the replacing position in the shuttle 2 and can be positioned on one and surrender on the delivery position of the bobbin case 4 of band hollow bobbin 5 or the bobbin case 4 that receiving belt expires shuttle 5.One adjustment part 22 is set on the horizontally disposed zone 21 of support 18, and it is bearing on the support by means of two springs 23,24, and with the drive unit of the unlatching finger-type bar 25 that acts on bobbin case lid 12.Opening finger-type bar 25 is bearing on the bearing pin 26 that itself is fixed on the vertical component 27 of support 18.In order to realize opening the gyration of finger-type bar 25, it has the guide rail 28 of a sealing of tilting to extend, and its perpendicular extends in the lower region thereof 29.One pin 31 by adjustment part 22 supportings embeds in the guide rail 28, make that opening finger-type bar 25 during adjustment part 22 moves downward at first carries out the counterclockwise gyration around bearing pin 26 (about Fig. 2), at this moment move to its operating position from its original position, between its end face and bobbin case lid 12 of this operating position at bobbin case 4, and make lid remain on its turn-off position, that is on the open position.Here guide rail 28 and lower region thereof 29 so mutual coordinations make that when pin 31 is positioned at the starting point place of lower region thereof 29 bobbin case lid 12 just is in its enable possition.Because the lower region of guide rail 28 is parallel to extending of adjustment part 22 with moving downward, in this part that adjustment part 22 moves downward, opens finger-type bar 25 and keep motionless.Movement relation is design so roughly, make and during the moving downward of adjustment part 22 about 80%, open 25 revolutions of finger-type bar, keep motionless and during all the other 20% move downward of adjustment part 22, open the finger-type bar, and during this period of time bobbin case lid 12 remains on its turn-off position, in this position bobbin case lock release.
In order to realize moving downward of adjustment part 22, otherwise effect one pneumatic linear actuator on it, want and in embodiment, to realize, one flexible axle 32 is set, its shell 33 is fixed on the bottom surface in horizontally disposed zone 21 of support 18, and its core 34 passes the groove 35 that is arranged on the adjustment part 22, and is fixed in the top surface areas of adjustment part 22.
In order on the horizontal zone 21 that spring 23 above-mentioned is installed in support 18 stepped hole 36 to be set, make spring 23 1 end bearings in the hole, the other end is bearing in one and can be screwed on the bottom surface of the adjustment screw 37 in the adjustment part 22, and this adjusts screw and has a cylindrical region 39 as upper gripper jaw 38 supports.Simultaneously can be near the groove of adjusting screw 37 by stepped hole 36, thus distance between the bottom surface of the head of screw 37 and adjustment part 22 can be adjusted.
Adjustment part 22 in the original position shown in Fig. 1 in its bottom surface with adjust between the head of screw 37 and have to be equivalent to the distance that adjustment part 22 moves downward size basically, during this moves downward, open finger-type bar 25 and carry out its gyration, be positioned at the starting point place in the zone 29 of guide rail 28 at this moment one side pin 31, the bottom surface of the end of the formation step of adjustment part 22 abuts against on the head of adjusting screw 37 on the other hand, upper gripper jaw 38, at this moment is arranged on elasticity lining 40 on its bottom surface and is fitted in bobbin case and covers on longitudinal side, the 12 top boundary face 41 to by opening bobbin case lid 12 motions that finger-type bar 25 stays open from its original position during 20% move downward that makes at adjustment part 22 that remaining roughly is equivalent to mention.
Upper gripper jaw 38 sets jaw 42, and it and jaw 38 are configured for the clamping device 50 of bobbin case 4 together, wherein descend the motion of jaw 42 to draw from upper gripper jaw 38.Fixing single-revolution pin 43 on the vertical component 27 of support 18 is provided with a double armed lever 44 pivotally on it for this reason.Have two slotted holes 45,46 that are symmetrical in its gyroaxis setting Deng armed lever 44 in its two end regions, pin 47,48 embeds respectively in these two slotted holes.Here the pin 47 that stretches in the slotted hole 45 is fixed on the shank of upper gripper jaw 38, and the pin 48 that stretches in the slotted hole 46 is fixed on down on the shank of jaw 42.Draw down jaw 42 closing motion up by upper gripper jaw 38 closing motion down in this way, its elasticity lining 49 is fitted in bobbin case and covers on the 12 lower longitudinal side boundary faces 51.Therefore two jaw clamp-shaped ground are towards bobbin case lid 12 or 41,51 motions of its longitudinal side boundary face, thereby make bobbin case 4 and its diameter irrespectively and also irrespectively be clamped in the center of shuttle or shuttle axle 1 all the time by two jaws 38,42 with the size of corresponding shuttle.Because two jaws 38,42 act directly on unlatching that is from bobbin case 4 obliquely on the bobbin case lid 12 of turn-off, two jaws 38,42 can abut against the side setting of bobbin case 4 end faces, and, saved the frame mode of position thus especially in order to support 12 structure width that needs are smaller of bobbin case lid reliably.
The above-mentioned drive unit of opening finger-type bar 25 and two jaws 38,42 all is installed in the housing 52, and this housing mainly is made up of the vertical component 27 and the U-shaped lid 53 of support 18, and its wall is used as the guide rail or the bearing of moving parts simultaneously.Therefore cover 53 front and have a for example dead eye 54, it is used for installing back 43 the free end of shipping and reselling on another market.
Open finger-type bar 25 and jaw 38,42 and occupy in the position shown in Fig. 1 when the replacing process begins, at this moment bobbin case lid 12 also is in it bobbin case 4 is locked on the position in the end cover 3.Make adjustment part 22 obtain one by operation flexible axle 32 and move downward, at this moment pin 31 moves to the starting point in its zone 29 always in guide rails 28.Therefore make and open finger-type bar 25 and in a plane of extending, between the back side of the end face of bobbin case 4 and bobbin case lid 12, move perpendicular to shuttle 2 axis.At this moment bobbin case lid 12 is endowed gyration by the side 57 of shuttle 2 dorsad, and wherein most advanced and sophisticated 55 side 56 is fitted on the end face of bobbin case 4 and finger-type bar 25 is opened in supporting.Bobbin case lid 12 occupies it at the end of its gyration and removes the enable possition that bobbin case is locked, and unclamps bobbin case 4 on the one hand in this position, on the other hand shuttle 5 is locked in the bobbin case 4.At this moment jaw 38,42 occupies its original position, and wherein bobbin case lid 12 is between two jaws 38,42 with two longitudinal side boundary face 41,51.At this moment adjustment part 22 moves downward its bottom surface that forms step is leaned against on the adjustment screw 37.When continuing to move downward, adjustment part 22 upper gripper jaw 38 is moved downward together thus by the zone 39 of adjusting screw 37.Be connected through the hinge 45,47 and 46,48 and equiarm double armed lever 44 make moving downward of adjustment part 22 be transformed into moving upward of lower chuck 42, thereby make jaw 38,42 clamp-shaped ground move toward one another, two elasticity linings 40,49 of two jaws 38,42 and two longitudinal side boundary faces 41,51 of bobbin case lid 12 are fitted, and bobbin case lid 12 is clamped between the jaw 38,42.Because pin 31 during this part that adjustment part 22 moves downward guide rails 28 vertically extending regional 29 in motion downwards, in this part that adjustment part 22 moves downward, open finger-type bar 25 and keep motionless, that is it remains on the position that makes bobbin case lid 12 its enable possitions of maintenance.
At jaw 38,42 and open on this position of finger-type bar, support 18 can deviate from shuttle 2 and move one and be equivalent to the distance that bobbin case 4 inserts the degree of depth of ends cover 3 at least being parallel on the guide rails 20 that shuttle axle 1 extends.Then slide plate 19 both can vertically also can move down obliquely, or moved towards receiving system in a horizontal plane, so that send the bobbin case 4 of band hollow bobbin 5 and then receive the bobbin case 4 that a band is expired shuttle 5.
Here make flexible axle 32 off-loads in order to send 4 needs of bobbin case, make adjustment part 22 and make jaw 38,42 with it and open finger-type bar 25 to return to it in the original position shown in Fig. 1 by the spring 23,24 that loosens.
Expression more changing device of the present invention is together with the receiving system 60 of the bobbin case 4 that is used to the full shuttle 5 of band to be stored that belongs to it among Fig. 6, and this bobbin case is given shuttle 2 and is contained in its end cover 3.Receiving system 60 has a cylindrical stent 61 for this reason, and it is supported by an axle 62 that is parallel to shuttle axle 1.Support 61 can be driven by a unillustrated step-by-step switch mechanism step-by-step movement, thereby guarantees, support 61 is pressed rotation of rhythm ground and location.In order to receive bobbin case 4, support 61 has a plurality of pins 63 that are equivalent to wait to receive shuttle 5 quantity, and they are parallel to axle 62 and arrange.Here the diameter of pin 63 and length are equivalent to be installed in the length of the draw pin 6 in the end cover 3.Pin 63 is equipped with an otch 64 suitable with the otch 7 of draw pin 6 respectively, makes bobbin case 4 be received on the pin 63 with same method, and can use the same method on axial lock fixes on it, is installed in the situation on the draw pin 6 of end cover 3 just as bobbin case 4.For bobbin case 4 is fixed on the pin 63, prevent its rotation, and guarantee that simultaneously corresponding bobbin case 4 remains identical radially relative position with respect to pin 63, intimate fixture 65 of the retaining element 16,17 of the setting and end cover 3 on support 61, its free end is equipped with a groove 66 respectively.The flange 11 of the slide closure 8 of bobbin case 4 embeds respectively in the groove 66.Therefore bobbin case 4 the reception on the pin 63 of support 61 and be fixed on function aspects be equivalent to bobbin case 4 in end cover 3 supporting and fix.The bobbin case 4 that is received on its pin 63 by support 61 can take off above it with identical method with same mechanism, just as take out bobbin case 4 from end cover 3 or shuttle 2.
For the bobbin case 4 that will lay respectively at 6 o ' clock positions takes off from support 61, support 18 with respect to corresponding pin 63 with as when bobbin case 4 takes out from end cover 3 or shuttle 2 same method location.Therefore opening finger-type bar 25 and jaw 38,42 is in as the relative position when taking out bobbin case 4 end cover 3 with respect to the support 61 of bobbin case to be removed 4.This state of expression in Fig. 6, at this moment bobbin case lid 12 is in its enable possition, and its longitudinal side boundary face 41,51 is fixed on jaw 38,42 in other words between its elasticity lining 40,49.At jaw 38,42, unlatching finger-type bar 25 and bobbin case 4 this relative position together with bobbin case lid 12, support 18 moves in the position shown in Fig. 3, bobbin case 4 by support 18 supportings on this position aligns with the draw pin 6 of shuttle 2, and bobbin case 4 closely is positioned at before the shuttle 2.Because bobbin case lid 12 is in the position of the locking between unlocking slide block 8 and the draw pin 6, so bobbin case 4 can insert in the end cover 3 by support 18 corresponding axially-movable non-resistance ground, at this moment after discharging, bobbin case lid 12 sets up locking between slide closure 8 and the draw pin 6 automatically by unlatching finger-type bar 25 and jaw 38,42.
