Definitions

  • This invention relates to a thread feed mechanism in a sewing machine which is adapted to feed a predetermined length of thread necessary for forming one seam at one time from a supply source of thread to a thread take-up lever by a paying-out device which operates based on set signals and more particularly, to computing of the set signals.
  • seam pitch is given by the equation wherein X is workpiece feed pitch, Y is amplitude of needle bar, D is sewn workpiece thickness, Z is thread amount necessary for entwining and K is coefficient.
  • a disc having a length of thread wound about the periphery of the disc is provided or a pair of rollers are provided in opposing and spaced relationship to releasably pinch the thread therebetween and at least one of the rollers is intermittently rotated by a stepping motor each time one seam is formed.
  • a pair of spaced thread guides are provided in the thread path, a reciprocal paying-out member is provided to traverse the thread path and the movement amount of the reciprocal paying-out member is related to the movement amount of drive means such as a pulse motor or linear motor.
  • the prior art thread paying-out deivces referred to above have the disadvantage that since the balance in tension between upper and lower threads can not be varied as desired, the thread paying-out devices are not applicable to some sewing operations in which a single workpiece is sewn with gathers and two workpieces having different lengthes are sewn together with the longer workpiece gathered.
  • the workpiece feed amount has been mechanically adjusted to square the feed amount in the forward direction with that in the reverse direction.
  • differences between absolute feed amounts in the forward and reverse directions due to variation in tolerances of parts or disaccordance between an actual workpiece feed amount and a predetermined workpiece feed amount corresponding to the position of a feed adjusting device or a workpiece feed amount indicated by an adjusting dial or the like interlocked with the feed adjusting device could not be adjusted.
  • the present invention is to provide a novel and improved thread feed mechanism in a sewing machine which can effectively eliminate the disadvantages inherent in the prior art thread feed mechanism.
  • One important object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages inherent in the prior art thread feed mechanisms by varying the coefficient K 2 of a workpiece thickness D.
  • a further object of the present invention is to maintain the balanced condition between upper and lower threads constant independent of variation in workpiece thickness.
  • a conventional sewing machine 1 wherein the thread feed mechanism of the invention is incorporated is schematically shown and the sewing machine generally comprises a main shaft (not shown) operatively connected to a drive source (not shown) to be rotated by the drive source, a needle bar 3 having a needle 2 carrying a length of thread T secured to the lower end of the bar and interlocked with the main shaft for vertical movement as the main shaft rotates and a thread take-up lever 5 supporting the section of the thread T between a bobbin 4 and the needle 2 and movable between two positions as the main shaft rotates so as to strain and slacken the thread T.
  • the relationship of the needle bar 3 and thread take-up lever 5 with respect to rotative angles of the main shaft is shown in Fig. 5.
  • First and second holding means 6 and 7 are provided in spaced upstream and downstream relationship in the thread path extending between the bobbin 4 and thread take-up lever 5.
  • the first holding means consists of a first electromagnet or solenoid and a pair of holding discs 10 adapted to releasably pinch the thread T therebetween so that when the electromagnet 8 is excited the discs attract each other to releasably pinch the thread therebetween and when the electromagnet is demagnetized the discs separate from each other to release the thread from their nip.
  • the second holding means 7 consists of a second electromagnet or solenoid 9 and a pair of holding discs 11. The functions of the electromagnet 9 and holding discs 11 are the same as those of the corresponding components of the first holding means 6.
  • a paying-out member 12 is rockably supported at one end to an eccentric cam 13 interlocked with the main shaft for rocking about a stub shaft 14 by a predetermined angle as the eccentric cam 13 rotates in response to the rotation of the main shaft.
  • the free end of the paying-out member 12 intersects the thread path extending between the upstream and downstream holding means 6 and 7 so that when the point of the needle 2 is positioned below the upper surface of the bed of the sewing machine as shown in Fig. 5, the paying-out member 12 first engages the thread T to increase the length of the thread path between the holding means 6 and 7 and then minimizes the thread path length by the time when the lever 5 will strain the thread.
  • a rotatable member 15 is provided in the thread path extending between the holding means 6 and 7 and adapted to rotate by an angle in proportion to the movement distance of the thread T as the thread T moves along the thread path.
  • Fig. 2 is a block diagram of the electrical circuit for use in the thread feed mechanism in a sewing machine according to the present invention. The operation sequence will be described referring to the electrical circuit, a paying-out detection device 16 produces one pulse each time the rotatable member 15 rotates by a predetermined angle.
  • a first position detection device 17 is so disposed with respect to the main shaft or a member interlocked with the shaft that the device 17 detects a particular angle of rotation of the main shaft which corresponds to the time at which the lower end of the needle 2 is positioned above the upper surface of the sewing machine bed and outputs a higher level signal (which will be referred to as “signal H” herein) and the device 17 also detects another particular angle of rotation of the main shaft which corresponds to the time at which the lower end of the needle 2 is positioned below the upper surface of the sewing machine bed and outputs a lower level signal (which will be referred to as "signal L" herein).
  • a second position detecting device 18 is so disposed with respect to the main shaft or a member interlocked with the main shaft that the device 18 detects a particular angle of rotation of the main shaft which corresponds to the time at which the thread take-up lever 5 strains the thread T and outputs one signal H.
  • a counter 19 is set by the rise of a signal from a timer MS 1 which is actuated by the rise of a signal from the first position detection device 17 and counts pulses from the paying-out detection device 16.
  • a third position detection device 30 detects a particular angle of rotation of the main shaft which corre - sponds to the time period from the time just before the needle 2 invades into the sewing machine bed to the time just before the needle 2 rises out of the sewing machine bed and produces a signal H.
  • a flip-flop FF l is reset by turning the start switch (not shown) for the sewing machine off and the reset of the flip-flop is released by turning the start switch on whereby an output at the terminal Q of the flip-flop FF 1 is inverted from L to H in response to the rise of an output from the third position detection device 30.
  • a multiplexer 20 outputs an input signal from a first setting device 21 while the multiplexer is receiving a signal L from FF 1 and outputs an input signal from a holding circuit 22 while the multiplexer is receiving a signal H from FF 1 .
  • the holding circuit 22 operates in response to the rise of an output from a timer MS 2 to receive an input signal from a substracter 23 and at the same time to output.
  • the substracter 23 substracts the value c of an output signal of a second holding circuit 25 of which description will be made hereinafter from the value e of a second setting device 24 to provide obtain a signal having the value f which is the output from the substracter.
  • the first and second setting devices 21 and 24 are adapted to set the length of the thread T to be payed out in proportion to the length of the thread T required for forming one seam.
  • the first setting device 21 produces a digital code corresponding to an average ideal thread paying-out length for each selected seam pattern whilst the second setting means produces a digital signal corresponding to the thread length set for one seam formation as will be described hereinafter in connection with Fig. 4.
  • the digital code is related to the number of pulses from the paying-out detection device 16 corresponding to an angle of rotation of the rotatable member 15 in proportion to the thread paying-out amount.
  • a second substracter 26 substracts the value b of an output signal of the multiplexer 20 from the value a of an output signal of the counter 19 to provide an output having the value of c.
  • the second holding circuit 25 operates in response to the rise of a signal from the third position detection device 30 to receive an output having the value c from the second substracter 26 and simultaneously to output.
  • a comparison circuit 27 compares the values of outputs of the counter 19 and multiplexer 20 with each other and When the values of these outputs coincide with each other, the comparison circuit 27 produces a coincidence signal H.
  • a flip-flop FF 2 is reset by the rise of a signal from the timer MS 1 and outputs a signal L at the Q terminal of FF 2 at the particular time. The output at the Q terminal of FF 2 is inverted from L to H with a coincidence signal from the comparison circuit 27.
  • Operation circuits 28 and 29 receive signals H from FF 2 and open to excite their associated solenoids 8 and 9, respectively and close upon receipt of signals L from FF 2 to demagnetize the first and second solenoids, respectively.
  • the operation circuit 28 With the operation circuit 28 in its open condition, when the operation circuit receives a power down signal having the level L from the second position detection device 18 (when the second position detection device 18 produces a signal L), the first solenoid 8 is supplied thereto current in an amount smaller than that of current to be supplied thereto when the operation circuit 28 receives a signal L. That is, one example of the operation circuit 28 is represented by an analog circuit in Fig. 3.
  • P denotes a known OP amplifier having comparison function and Tr l , Tr 2 and Tr 3 denote transistors.
  • FF 3 When the sewing machine is in its nonoperative condition, FF 3 receives a signal H at its terminal R and outputs a signal L at its terminal Q. When the sewing machine starts to operate, FF 3 receives a signal L at its terminal R to release its reset. Upon receipt of a signal H from an AND gate G, FF 3 outputs a signal H at the terminal Q.
  • Reference numeral 45 denotes an alarm such as a buzzer or lamp and provides sound, light or other indication through a timer TM for a predetermined period when FF 3 outputs a signal H at the terminal Q.
  • an amplitude signal Y relating to the amplitude of the needle bar 3 and a feed amount signal X relating to the feed pitch of a workpiece are signals read out of memories such as ROM and RAM (not shown) or obtained by detecting the positions of known needle amplitude and feed adjusting devices (not shown) operable based on these signals.
  • the detection times of these signals are detected in relation to the fall and rise of an output of the third position detection device 30 as shown in Fig. 5 and the feed amount signal X is maintained by a holding circuit (not shown) until the amplitude signal Y is detected.
  • These signals X and Y are processed by square multipliers 31 and 32, respectively and added together by an adder 33.
  • An output from the adder 33 is multiplied by an output m of a feed amount (seam pitch) coefficient setting switch 35 in a multiplier 34 and an output of the multiplier 34 is processed by a k' 1 multiplier 36 and a square root arithmetic unit 37.
  • An output from the square root arithmetic unit 37 is passed through a k' 2 multiplier 38 to an adder 39 and an output from the k' 1 multiplier 36 is directly passed to an adder 39.
  • the added data is passed to an adder 40.
  • the feed amount coefficient setting switch 35 has a code of several bits and can output a digital code corresponding to manual operation mode.
  • a workpiece thickness signal D correspodnign to the position of the presser foot (not shown) above the upper surface of the sewing machine bed is detected in the same timing relationship as the detection of a feed amount signal X and multiplier by an output k 3 of a coefficient counter 42 in a multiplier 41.
  • An output of the multiplier 41 is added to an output data from the adder 39 in an adder 40 an output of which is in turn processed through a k 4 adder 43.
  • a paying-out amount arithmetic unit 44 converts the output of the k 4 adder into the number of generated pulses the paying-out detector 16 corresponding to an angle of rotation of the rotatable member 15 in proportion to a predetermined paying-out amount of the thread T whereby a digital code corresponding to the predetermined paying-out amount of the thread T is produced.
  • the coefficient counter 42 can vary the output value k 3 stepwise within a predetermined range with the initial value "1" as the center in relation to the operation of up-down switches 45 and 46 and is reset upon receipt of a signal H at the termianl R of the counter whereby an output of the counter becomes the initial value "1" and the number of pulses corresponding to the output value k 3 of the counter 42 is indicated on the indication window (not shown) provided in the front of the sewing machine framework.
  • a pattern change-over signal E and a power source input signal F are signals H which are related to the seam pattern selection operation and the closing of the power source, respectively and are generated at predetermined times.
  • the mechanism operates as follows:
  • the start of the sewing machine also causes the thread take-up lever 5 which is now at the top dead center to descend until the section of the thread T extending between the thread take-up lever 5 and needle 2 slackens whereupon the counter 19 resets itself in response to the rise of a signal from the timer MS 1 and at the same time, since FF 2 clears, the operation circuit 28 closes to demagnetize the first solenoid 8 which in turn release the thread T from the nip in the holding means 6. Simultaneously, the operation circuit 29 opens to excite the second solenoid 9 to cause the holding means 7 to pinch the thread T so as to arrest the movement of the thread T therethrough.
  • the paying-out member 12 rotates from the position as shown in Fig. 1 about the stub shaft 14 in the counterclockwise direction to flex the thread T between the two holding means 6 and 7 so as to gradually increase the length of the thread path and as a result, the thread T is payed out of the bobbin 4 in an amount corresponding to the increasement in the length of the thread path.
  • the rotatable member 15 When the thread T is payed out of the bobbin 4 by carrying out the operation procedure described above, the rotatable member 15 is rotated in the clockwise direction as seen in Fig. 1 by the thread being payed out and the paying-out detection device 16 produces a number of pulses proportion to an angle of rotation of the rotary member 15. The pulses are counted by the counter 19 and the count is input to the comparison circuit 27 and substracter 26.
  • the comparison circuit 27 produces a coincidence signal of H which sets FF 2 whereby an output at the termianl Q thereof is inverted from L to H so that the first solenoid 8 is excited to cause the holding means 6 to pinch the thread T so as to prevent the thread T from further being payed out of the bobbin 4 and simultaneously demagnetize the second solenoid 9 so as to release ⁇ the holding means 7 which in turn allows the thread T to pass therethrough.
  • the comparison circuit 27 produces a coincidence signal and since the holding means 6 pinches the thread T to prevent the thread to pass therethrough whereas the holding means 7 releases its nip to allow the thread T to pass therethrough so that the thread take-up lever 5 allows the section of the thread T extending between the lever 5 and needle 2, even if the paying-out member 12 further rotates in the counterclockwise direction, slackened thread section passes through the holding means 7 and the thread section being payed out by the rotating paying-out member 12 is retained between the holding means 6 and 7 and thus, the thread T is not positively strained. If the thread is positively strained, the strained thread pulls the rest of the thread out of the bobbin 4.
  • FF 1 is set by the rise of a signal from the third position detection device 30 and an output at the terminal Q of FF 1 is inverted from L to H
  • a signal from the second setting device 24 is input through the multiplexer 20 to the comparison circuit 27 in a predetermined time after FF 1 was set or in response to the rise of an output from the timer MS 2 .
  • the thread paying-out amount for each of the second and succeeding seams is determined by a signal from the second setting device 24 which is obtained for such seam by computing a feed pitch, a needle amplitude and a workpiece thickness.
  • the comparison circuit 27 produces a coincidence signal.
  • the substracter 23 substracts the output value c of the substracter 26 from the output value e of the second setting device 24 to provide an output having the value f which is passed to one input of the comparison circuit 27 through the multiplexer 20.
  • the comparison circuit 27 produces a coincidence signal. The procedure is repeated.
  • the length of thread to be payed out set by the first or second setting device 21 or 24 does not coincide with the length of thread actually fed to the thread path extending between the holding means 6 and 7 by the paying-out member 12, in the formation of the next seam, the length of thread is compensated for by the difference between the set and actually fed thread lengthes.
  • the transistor Tr 3 turns on and the reference voltage of the OP amplifier P is substantially lower than that in a case as will be described hereinafter so that excitation current for the first solenoid 8 becomes smaller.
  • the holding means 6 is imparted thereto a nip force which is not so great as to feed the thread to the thread path between the holding means 6 and 7 by the operation of the paying-out member 12.
  • the adjustment by the feed amount coefficient setting switch 35 is performed when a feed pitch to be input the computing system does not coincide with an actual feed pitch in a sewing machine of the type in which an input signal to a feed or needle amplitude stepping motor is input to the motor in a thread paying-out computing mode.
  • the value of the coefficient k 3 for a workpiece thickness signal D among outputs of the k 4 adder 43 becomes greater stepwise within a preset range with the initial value 1 as the center and when the down-switch 46 is manipulated, the value of the coefficient k 3 becomes smaller stepwise whereby an output of the ⁇ second setting device 24 varies, but the coefficient counter 42 resets in response to pattern selection and power source closing and the value of k 3 returns to the initial value 1.
  • the adjustment is made as desired when the balance in tension between upper and lower threads is intentionally varied in order to sew a single workpiece with gathers or two workpieces having different lengthes with the longer workpiece gathered or pull the lower or upper thread in sewing.
  • the thread feed mechanism in a sewing machine comprises a first signal generation device for producing a thread feed amount signal X corresponding to a workpiece feed pitch for each seam and an amplitude signal Y corresponding to the amplitude of a needle bar in response to the operation of the sewing machine before a thread take-up lever completes the straining of an indefinite length of thread, a second signal generation device for detecting the thickness of a workpiece at the sewing area in the sewing machine before the lever completes the straining of the thread and producing a workpiece thickness signal D corresponding to the thickness of said workpiece, first means 31, 32 and 33 for adding square values of the feed amount and needle amplitude signals together and outputting the added value, second means 37 and 38 for miltiplying a square root of the output of the first means by a coefficient k' 2 and outputting the multiplied value, third manual means 45, 46 and 42 for outputting signals of different values corresponding to operation modes of the third means, fourth means 41 for multiplying
