Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum zeitweisen Unterbrechen der Sticknadelbewegung an automatisch gesteuerten Stick- oder Nähmaschinen mit mindestens einer mittels eines Pleuels und einer Kurbel von einer Antriebswelle antreibbaren Nadelstange, auf der ein Mitnehmer befestigt ist, welcher mit einem mit dem Pleuel gelenkig verbundenen Antriebsschlitten mittels einer als zweiarmiger Hebel ausgebildeten Schaltklinke kuppelbar ist, deren einer Arm mit einer am Antriebschlitten ausgebildeten Raste und deren anderer Arm mit einer durch ein Betätigungselement steuerbaren Halteklinke zusammenwirkt, durch welche die Nadelstange bei gleichzeitiger Trennung vom Antriebsschlitten in einer oberen Totpunktlage feststellbar ist.The invention relates to a device for temporarily interrupting the embroidery needle movement on automatically controlled embroidery or sewing machines with at least one needle bar that can be driven by means of a connecting rod and a crank from a drive shaft, on which a driver is fastened, which is connected to a drive slide articulated with the connecting rod by means of a A pawl designed as a two-armed lever can be coupled, one arm of which interacts with a catch formed on the drive slide and the other arm of which interacts with a holding pawl which can be controlled by an actuating element, by means of which the needle bar can be locked in an upper dead center position while being separated from the drive carriage.

Eine Vorrichtung zum zeitweisen Unterbrechen der Sticknadelbewegung an automatisch gesteuerten Stick- oder Nähmaschinen der voranstehend beschriebenen Art ist aus der DE-PS 2 749 700 bekannt. Bei dieser Konstruktion wird die Halteklinke um eine parallel zur Schwenkachse der Schaltklinke verlaufende Achse durch ein als Schaltmagnet ausgebildetes Betätigungselement zwischen zwei Endstellungen verschwenkt, wobei in der einen Endstellung die Halteklinke mit dem oberen Arm der Schaltklinke zusammenwirkt und diese Schaltklinke nach einem Verschwenkvorgang zum Entkuppeln der Nadelstange vom Nadelstangenantrieb in der oberen Totpunktlage festhält, so daß die Sticknadelbewegung unterbrochen wird.A device for temporarily interrupting the embroidery needle movement on automatically controlled embroidery or sewing machines of the type described above is known from DE-PS 2 749 700. In this construction, the holding pawl is pivoted about an axis running parallel to the pivot axis of the switching pawl between two end positions by an actuating element designed as a switching magnet, in which one end position the holding pawl interacts with the upper arm of the switching pawl and this switching pawl after a pivoting process for uncoupling the needle bar holds the needle bar drive in the top dead center position, so that the embroidery needle movement is interrupted.

Diese bekannte Konstruktion besitzt verschiedene Nachteile. Zum einen muß das Betätigungselement zur Erzielung der beiden Endstellungen der Halteklinke einen verhältnismäßig großen Hub ausführen, so daß nur große Magneten verwendet werden können. Zum anderen muß das Betätigungselement große Haltekräfte aufbringen, da es gegen die Rückstellfeder der zweiarmigen Schaltklinke wirken muß. Auch aus diesem Grunde ist die Verwendung eines verhältnismäßig großen Magneten als Betätigungselement erforderlich. Dies führt jedoch zu dem entscheidenden Nachteil, daß nicht nur teure Magneten verwendet werden müssen, sondern auch verhältnismäßig lange Schaltzeiten in Kauf zu nehmen sind, durch welche die Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit der Vorrichtung begrenzt ist.This known construction has several disadvantages. On the one hand, the actuating element must achieve a relatively large stroke in order to achieve the two end positions of the holding pawl, so that only large magnets can be used. On the other hand, the actuating element must exert large holding forces since it must act against the return spring of the two-armed pawl. For this reason too, the use of a relatively large magnet as the actuating element is required. However, this leads to the decisive disadvantage that not only expensive magnets have to be used, but also relatively long switching times have to be accepted, which limit the operating speed of the device.

Der Erfindung lag ausgehend von der aus der DE-PS 2 749 700 bekannten Vorrichtung die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei gleichzeitiger Vereinfachung und Verbilligung der Konstruktion die erforderlichen Schaltzeiten für die Vorrichtung zum zeitweisen Unterbrechen der Sticknadelbewegung zu verkürzen.Based on the device known from DE-PS 2 749 700, the invention was based on the object of shortening the switching times required for the device for temporarily interrupting the embroidery needle movement while simultaneously simplifying and reducing the cost of the construction.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabenstellung durch die Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Halteklinke gegen die Kräfte der Schaltklinke formschlüssig gehalten und aus der Bewegungsebene der Schaltklinke herausbewegbar ist, so daß des Betätigungselement nicht von den von der Schaltklinke auf die Halteklinke ausgeübten Kräften beaufschlagt ist.The solution to this problem by the invention is characterized in that the holding pawl is positively held against the forces of the switching pawl and can be moved out of the plane of movement of the switching pawl, so that the actuating element is not acted upon by the forces exerted by the switching pawl on the holding pawl.

Durch die formschlüssige Halterung der Halteklinke gegen die von der Schaltklinke auf sie ausgeübten Kräfte wird die Möglichkeit geschaffen, einfachere Betätigungselemente zu verwenden, weil diese nicht mehr die von der Schaltklinke auf die Halteklinke ausgeübten Kräfte aufnehmen müssen. Nachdem die Halteklinke nicht mehr innerhalb der Bewegungsebene der Schaltklinke um eine parallel zur Schwenkachse der Schaltklinke verlaufende Achse verschwenkbar ist, sondern erfindungsgemäß aus der Bewegungsebene der Schaltklinke herausbewegt wird, reduziert sich die zwischen der Schalt- und Verriegelungsstellung der Halteklinke einerseits und der Freigabestellung andererseits von der Halteklinke auszuführende Bewegung auf einen Weg, der lediglich in der Größenordnung der Breite der zusammenwirkenden Flächen zwischen Halteklinke und Schaltklinke liegt. Auch hierdurch wird es möglich, kleine und damit preiswerte Betätigungselemente zu verwenden, so daß insgesamt neben einer erheblichen Konstruktionsvereinfachung und gleichzeitigen Funktionsverbesserung wesentlich kürzere Schaltzeiten benötigt werden, um die Halteklinke zwischen ihrer Nichteingriffsstellung und ihrer Wirkstellung zu bewegen. Während die bekannte Konstruktion Drehzahlen der Stick- oder Nähmaschine von 600 bis maximal 750 Umdrehungen pro Minute zuließ, wird mit der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung eine zuverlässige Wirkung noch bei Drehzahlen von 1500 Umdrehungen pro Minute erreicht.The form-fitting mounting of the holding pawl against the forces exerted on it by the switching pawl creates the possibility of using simpler actuating elements because they no longer have to absorb the forces exerted by the switching pawl on the holding pawl. After the holding pawl can no longer be pivoted within the movement plane of the switching pawl about an axis running parallel to the pivot axis of the switching pawl, but according to the invention is moved out of the movement plane of the switching pawl, the number between the switching and locking position of the holding pawl on the one hand and the release position on the other hand is reduced Movement to be performed on a path that is only in the order of the width of the interacting surfaces between the pawl and the pawl. This also makes it possible to use small and thus inexpensive actuating elements, so that overall, in addition to a considerable simplification of construction and simultaneous functional improvement, significantly shorter switching times are required to move the holding pawl between its non-engaged position and its operative position. While the known design allowed speeds of the embroidery or sewing machine from 600 to a maximum of 750 revolutions per minute, the design according to the invention achieves a reliable effect even at speeds of 1500 revolutions per minute.

Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung kann die Halteklinke rechtwinklig zur Bewegungsebene der Schaltklinke durch eine Ge radführung geführt und durch ein Betätigungselement verschiebbar sein. Bei dieser Konstruktion genügt es, die Halteklinke um ihre Breite zu verschieben, um aus dem Wirkbereich mit der Schaltklinke herauszukommen.According to a further feature of the invention, the holding pawl can be guided at right angles to the plane of movement of the switching pawl by a wheel guide and be displaceable by an actuating element. With this construction, it is sufficient to move the holding pawl by its width in order to get out of the effective range with the switching pawl.

Gemäß einem anderen Merkmal der Erfindung kann die Halteklinke um eine parallel zur Bewegungsebene der Schaltklinke liegende Achse durch ein Betätigungselement verschwenkbar sein. Diese Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Gedankens schafft eine Überführung der Halteklinke zwischen Freigabestellung und Wirkstellung durch geringfügiges, etwa ihrer Breite entsprechendes Verschwenken, wobei die Schwenkachse der Haltklinke zugleich ihre formschlüssige Lagerung gegenüber den Kräften der Schaltklinke darstellt.According to another feature of the invention, the holding pawl can be pivotable about an axis lying parallel to the plane of movement of the switching pawl by an actuating element. This development of the concept according to the invention creates a transfer of the holding pawl between the release position and the operative position by slight pivoting, approximately corresponding to its width, the pivot axis of the holding pawl simultaneously representing its form-fitting bearing against the forces of the switching pawl.

Bei beiden erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildungen ist esmöglich, als Betätigungselement einen gegen eine Rückstellfeder wirkenden Einfachhubmagneten zu verwenden, der besonders klein und preiswert ist und extrem kurze Schaltzeiten besitzt.In both embodiments of the invention, it is possible to use a single-stroke magnet acting against a return spring as the actuating element, which is particularly small and inexpensive and has extremely short switching times.

In the drawing, two embodiments of the device according to the invention are shown, and that shows
  • Figure 1 shows a first embodiment with holding pawl displaceable parallel to the plane of movement of the switching pawl in the disengaged position;
  • Fig. 2 shows the embodiment of Figure 1 in a different crank position.
  • 3 shows the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 with the pawl in the active position during the coupling process;
  • 4 shows a further illustration of this embodiment with the needle bar uncoupled from the drive and fixed in the top dead center position by the holding pawl;
  • Fig. 5 shows a second embodiment with pivotal holding pawl in the disengaged position and
  • Fig. 6 shows the embodiment of FIG. 5 with the pawl in the active position.

Bei beiden Ausführungsbeispielen ist in perspektivischer Darstellung der vordere Teil des Gehäuses 1 eines Stickmaschinenkopfes zu erkennen, in welchem das vordere Ende einer Antriebswelle 2 gelagert ist. Auf dem vorderen Ende dieser Antriebswelle 2 ist an einer Kurbelscheibe 3 ein Pleuel 4 angelenkt, welches mit seinem anderen Ende mit einem Antriebsschlitten 5 gelenkig verbunden ist. Dieser Antriebsschlitten 5 ist beweglich auf einer Nadelstange 6 geführt, die ihrerseits längsbeweglich im Gehäuse 1 gelagert ist und am unteren Ende eine Nadel 7 trägt.In both embodiments, the front part of the housing 1 of an embroidery machine head can be seen in a perspective view, in which the front end of a drive shaft 2 is mounted. On the front end of this drive shaft 2, a connecting rod 4 is articulated on a crank disk 3, which is articulated at its other end to a drive carriage 5. This drive carriage 5 is movably guided on a needle bar 6, which in turn is mounted in the housing 1 for longitudinal movement and carries a needle 7 at the lower end.

Die Kupplung des Antriebsschlittens 5 mit der Nadelstange 6 erfolgt durch einen Mitnehmer 8, welcher auf der Nadelstange 6 angeordnet und auf dieser unverschiebbar mittels einer Schraube 9 befestigt ist. Dieser Mitnehmer 8 trägt eine als zweiarmiger Hebel ausgebildete Schaltklinke 10, welche durch eine Klinkenfeder 11 belastet ist. Der untere Arm 10a der Schaltklinke 10 wirkt mit einer Rast 5a des Antriebsschlittens 5 zusammen, so daß zum Zwecke des Antriebs der Nadelstange 6 der Antriebsschlitten 5 über die Schaltklinke 10 mit dem Mitnehmer 8 kuppelbar ist, wie dies beispielsweise die Fig. 1 zeigt.The coupling of the drive carriage 5 to the needle bar 6 takes place by means of a driver 8 which is arranged on the needle bar 6 and is fastened immovably thereon by means of a screw 9. This driver 8 carries a pawl 10 designed as a two-armed lever, which is loaded by a pawl spring 11. The lower arm 10a of the pawl 10 interacts with a catch 5a of the drive carriage 5, so that for the purpose of driving the needle bar 6 the drive carriage 5 can be coupled to the driver 8 via the pawl 10, as shown for example in FIG. 1.

Um den Antriebsschlitten 5 vom Mitnehmer 8 der Nadelstange 6 entkuppeln und die Nadelstange 6 entkuppeln und die Nadelstange 6 in der oberen Totpunktlage festlegen zu können, wirkt der obere Arm 10b der Schaltklinke 10 mit einer Halteklinke 12 zusammen. Diese Halteklinke 12 ist gegen die von der SchaltKlinke 10 auf sie ausgeübten Kräfte, insbesondere gegen die Kräfte der Klinkenfeder 11 formschlüssig gehalten. Sie kann aus einer Wirkstellung, die in der Bewegungsebene der Schaltklinke 10 liegt, in eine Außereingriffstellung bewegt werden, die außerhalb der Bewegungsebene der Schaltklinke 10 liegt. Die beiden Ausführungsbeispiele nach den Fig. 1 bis 4 bzw. 5 und 6 unterscheiden sich voneinander durch die Art der formschlüssigen Halterung der Halteklinke 12 und ihre Bewegung zwischen Wirkstellung und Außereingriffstellung.In order to be able to decouple the drive carriage 5 from the driver 8 of the needle bar 6 and uncouple the needle bar 6 and to fix the needle bar 6 in the top dead center position, the upper arm 10b of the switching pawl 10 interacts with a holding pawl 12. This holding pawl 12 is positively held against the forces exerted on it by the switching pawl 10, in particular against the forces of the pawl spring 11. It can be moved from an active position, which lies in the plane of movement of the pawl 10, into a disengaged position, which lies outside the plane of movement of the pawl 10. The two exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 1 to 4 or 5 and 6 differ from one another by the type of form-fitting mounting of the holding pawl 12 and their movement between the active position and the disengaged position.

Beim ersten Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Fig. 1 bis 4 ist die Halteklinke 12 quer zur Bewegungsebene der Schaltklinke 10 durch eine Geradführung 13 geführt. Sie wird aus ihrer in der Bewegungsebene der Schaltklinke 10 liegenden Wirkstellung in eine Außereingriffstellung überführt, indem sie rechtwinklig zur Bewegungsebene an der Geradführung 13 verschoben wird, und zwar mittels eines Betätigungselements 14, das als ein gegen eine Rückstellfeder 15 wirkender Einfachhubmagnet ausgebildet ist.In the first embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4, the holding pawl 12 is guided transversely to the plane of movement of the switching pawl 10 by a straight guide 13. It is transferred from its active position lying in the plane of movement of the pawl 10 into a disengaged position by being displaced at right angles to the plane of movement on the straight guide 13, namely by means of an actuating element 14 which is designed as a single-stroke magnet acting against a return spring 15.

Die Darstellung in Fig. 1 zeigt eine Kupplung des Mitnehmers 8 mit dem Antriebsschlitten 5 über die Schaltklinke 10, so daß die Nadelstange 6 bei der durch einen Pfeil angedeuteten Drehbewegung der Kurbelscheibe 3 hin- und hergehend mitgenommen wird. Die Halteklinke 12 befindet sich in ihrer Außereingriffstellung, wie die zusammengedrückte Rückstellfeder 15 erkennen läßt. In dieser Stellung der Halteklinke 12, die auch in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist, befindet sich die Halteklinke 12 außerhalb der Bewegungsebene der Schaltklinke 10, so daß diese gemäß Fig. 2 an der vom Betätigungselement 14 entlang der Geradführung 13 bewegten Halteklinke 12 vorbeibewegt wird, wenn der Mitnehmer 8 mit der Schaltklinke 10 den in Fig. 2 dargestellten oberen Totpunkt erreicht. In dieser Stellung der Halteklinke 12 bleibt die Nadelstange 6 demgemäß mit ihrem Antrieb verbunden.The illustration in Fig. 1 shows a coupling of the driver 8 with the drive carriage 5 via the pawl 10, so that the needle bar 6 is taken back and forth during the rotary movement of the crank disk 3 indicated by an arrow. The holding pawl 12 is in its disengaged position, as can be seen from the compressed return spring 15. In this position of the holding pawl 12, which is also shown in FIG. 2, the holding pawl 12 is located outside the plane of movement of the switching pawl 10, so that, according to FIG. 2, it is moved past the holding pawl 12 moved by the actuating element 14 along the straight guide 13, when the driver 8 with the pawl 10 reaches the top dead center shown in FIG. 2. In this position of the holding pawl 12, the needle bar 6 accordingly remains connected to its drive.

Zur Unterbrechung der Nadelbewegung wird gemäß Fig. 3 die Haltekraft des Betätigungselements 14 aufgehoben, so daß die Rückstellfeder 15 die Halteklinke 12 entlang der Geradführung 13 in ihre Wirkstellung verschiebt, welche innerhalb der Bewegungsebene der Schaltklinke 10 liegt. In dieser Stellung trifft der obere Arm 10b der Schaltklinke 10 bei ihrer Bewegung in die obere Totpunktstellung auf die Halteklinke 12 auf. Die Schaltklinke 10 wird verschwenkt, wodurch einerseits der untere Arm 10a die Rast 5a des Antriebsschlittens 5 freigibt und andererseits der obere Arm 10b an der Halteklinke 12 festgelegt wird. Hierdurch wird die Nadelstange 6 in der oberen Totpunktstellung über den Mitnehmer 8, die Schaltklinke 10 und die Halteklinke 12 festgehalten, wogegen der auf der Nadelstange 6 verschiebbare Antriebsschlitten 5 ohne Kupplung mit dem Mitnehmer 8 frei hin- und herbewegt wird.3, the holding force of the actuating element 14 is released so that the return spring 15 moves the holding pawl 12 along the straight guide 13 into its operative position, which lies within the plane of movement of the switching pawl 10. In this position, the upper arm 10b of the pawl 10 strikes the pawl 12 as it moves into the top dead center position. The pawl 10 is pivoted, whereby on the one hand the lower arm 10a releases the catch 5a of the drive carriage 5 and on the other hand the upper arm 10b is fixed to the holding pawl 12. As a result, the needle bar 6 is held in the top dead center position via the driver 8, the switching pawl 10 and the holding pawl 12, whereas the drive carriage 5, which is displaceable on the needle bar 6, is freely moved back and forth with the driver 8 without coupling.

Die Darstellungen in den Fig. 1 bis 4 lassen erkennen, daß die Halteklinke 12 durch die Geradführung 13 formschlüssig gehalten wird, so daß die von der Schaltklinke 10 auf die Halteklinke 12 ausgeübten Kräfte auf einfache Weise aufgefangen werden können. Zum anderen zeigen die Fig. 1 bis 4, daß eine geringfügige Bewegung der Halteklinke 12 durch das Betätigungselement 14 genügt, um die Halteklinke 12 zwischen der Wirkstellung und der Außereingriffstellung zu verschieben. Der Verschiebeweg liegt in der Größenordnung der Dicke der Halteklinke 12.The illustrations in FIGS. 1 to 4 show that the holding pawl 12 is held positively by the straight guide 13, so that the forces exerted by the switching pawl 10 on the holding pawl 12 can be absorbed in a simple manner. On the other hand, FIGS. 1 to 4 show that a slight movement of the holding pawl 12 by the actuating element 14 is sufficient to move the holding pawl 12 between the active position and the disengaged position. The displacement path is of the order of the thickness of the holding pawl 12.

Beim zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel nach den Fig. 5 und 6 ist die Halteklinke 12' um eine Achse 16 verschwenkbar, welche parallel zur Bewegungsebene der Schaltklinke 10 liegt. Auch in diesem Fall ist die Halteklinke 12' durch eine Rückstellfeder 15' belastet, die in Gegenrichtung zu dem als einfacher Hubmagnet ausgebildeten Betätigungselement 14 wirkt.In the second exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 5 and 6, the holding pawl 12 'can be pivoted about an axis 16 which is parallel to the plane of movement of the switching pawl 10. In this case too, the holding pawl 12 'is by a Return spring 15 'loaded, which acts in the opposite direction to the actuating element 14 formed as a simple lifting magnet.

Auch durch die parallel zur Bewegungsebene der Schaltklinke 10 liegende Achse 16 ist die Halteklinke 12' formschlüssig gegen diejenigen Kräfte gehalten, die von der Schaltklinke 10 auf sie ausgeübt werden könen. Eine geringfügige, in der Größenordnung der Stärke der Schaltklinke 10 liegende Verschwenkung der Halteklinke 12' reicht aus, um diese aus ihrer in der Bewegungsebene der Schaltklinke 10 liegenden Wirkstellung in die Außereingriffstellung zu verschwenken. Diese Außereingriffstellung ist übertrieben in Fig. 5 dargestellt, während Fig. 6 die Wirkstellung der Halteklinke 12' zeigt. Die Wirkungsweise des Ausführungsbeispiels nach den Fig. 5 und 6 entspricht der voranstehend geschilderten Wirkungsweise des Ausführungsbeispiels nach den Fig. 1 bis 4.Also by the axis 16 lying parallel to the plane of movement of the pawl 10, the holding pawl 12 'is positively held against those forces which the pawl 10 can exert on it. A slight, in the order of magnitude of the strength of the pawl 10 pivoting of the holding pawl 12 'is sufficient to pivot it from its operative position lying in the plane of movement of the pawl 10 into the disengaged position. This disengaged position is exaggerated in Fig. 5, while Fig. 6 shows the operative position of the holding pawl 12 '. The mode of operation of the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 5 and 6 corresponds to the above-described mode of operation of the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4.

Selbstverständlich kann die Stick- oder Nähmaschine auch mehrere Nadelstangen aufweisen, von denen wahlweise eine mit dem Antriebsschlitten 5 kuppelbar und in der voranstehend geschilderten Weise durch die Halteklinke 12 bzw. 12' in der oberen Totpunktstellung feststellbar ist.

Of course, the embroidery or sewing machine can also have a plurality of needle bars, one of which can optionally be coupled to the drive slide 5 and can be locked in the above-described manner by the holding pawl 12 or 12 'in the top dead center position.
