Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Greifer für eine Doppel-Steppstich-Nähmaschine mit einem topfförmigen Greifer-Körper mit einer in dem Greifer-Körper um eine Achse drehbar angeordneten Spulenkapsel, die einen Boden und konzentrisch zur Achse einen Lager-Zapfen aufweist.The invention relates to a gripper for a double-lockstitch sewing machine with a cup-shaped gripper body with a in the gripper body about an axis rotatably mounted bobbin case, which has a bottom and concentric with the axis of a bearing pin.

Bei einem derartigen, aus der DE 195 10 830 C2 (entsprechend JP Hei-8-59-489 ; KR 7521/1996 ; CH ZL 96 104 262.1 ) bekannten Greifer ist zwischen dem Boden der Spulenkapsel und einem benachbarten Flansch der Spule eine Brems- und Ausschub-Feder angeordnet. Diese ist kegelstumpffönnig ausgebildet, so dass sie bei in die Spulenkapsel eingesetzter Greiferfaden-Spule bis auf die Dicke der Windungen zusammengedrückt werden kann. Weiterhin ist bei diesem bekannten Greifer eine Verriegelungs-Einrichtung vorgesehen, die einen Verriegelungs-Hebel aufweist, der zwischen einer etwa parallel zur Achse verlaufenden entriegelten Stellung und einer etwa senkrecht hierzu verlaufenden verriegelten Stellung verschwenkbar ist, wobei in der verriegelten Stellung eine als Bremseinrichtung dienende Kugel radial nach außen gegen die Innenseite der Nabe der Spule gedrückt wird, wodurch eine Brems-Einrichtung geschaffen wird. Auch hierbei treten über den Umlauf der Spule Schwankungen in der Greiferfaden-Spannung auf, was im Betrieb nicht erwünscht ist, da es sich nachteilig auf die Qualität einer Naht auswirkt.In such, from the DE 195 10 830 C2 (corresponding JP Hei-8-59-489 ; KR 7521/1996 ; CH ZL 96 104 262.1 ) known gripper a brake and Ausschub spring is disposed between the bottom of the bobbin case and an adjacent flange of the coil. This is frusto-conical shaped, so that it can be compressed to the thickness of the turns when inserted into the bobbin case looper thread bobbin. Furthermore, in this known gripper, a locking device is provided which has a locking lever which is pivotable between an approximately parallel to the axis extending unlocked position and an approximately perpendicular thereto extending locked position, wherein in the locked position serving as a braking device ball is pressed radially outward against the inside of the hub of the coil, whereby a brake device is provided. Here too, fluctuations in the hook thread tension occur over the circulation of the bobbin, which is undesirable during operation since it has a disadvantageous effect on the quality of a seam.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Greifer der allgemeinen Gattung in einfacher Weise so auszugestalten, dass Schwankungen in der Greiferfaden-Spannung weitestgehend vermieden werden.The invention has for its object to design a gripper of the general genus in a simple manner so that fluctuations in the looper thread tension are largely avoided.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Kern der Erfindung ist die Ausbildung eines Gleit-Lagers zwischen dem Verriegelungs-Hebel und dem zugewandten Flansch der Spule. Dieses Gleit-Lager, das durch eine ununterbrochene, gleichmäßige Ringfläche auf dem Flansch der Spule und eine entsprechende definierte Fläche am Verriegelungs-Hebel gebildet wird, hat über den gesamten Umfang der Spule gleichmäßige Reibverhältnisse. Eine in der Regel vorhandene Mitnehmer-Nut für Spul-Maschinen liegt innerhalb des Gleit-Lagers, beeinträchtigt die Reibverhältnisse also nicht.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. The core of the invention is the formation of a sliding bearing between the locking lever and the facing flange of the coil. This sliding bearing, which is formed by a continuous, uniform annular surface on the flange of the coil and a corresponding defined surface on the locking lever, has uniform friction conditions over the entire circumference of the coil. A generally existing driver groove for winding machines lies within the sliding bearing, so does not affect the friction conditions.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Doppel-Steppstich-Nähmaschine weist in üblicher Weise einen oberen Arm 1, einen vertikalen Ständer 2 und eine untere gehäuseartige Grundplatte 3 auf. Im Arm 1 ist eine Armwelle 4 gelagert, über die eine Nadelstange 5 mit Nadel 6 auf- und abgehend antreibbar ist. Weiterhin wird von ihr ein Fadenhebel 7 angetrieben.In the Fig. 1 illustrated double lockstitch sewing machine has in a conventional manner an upper arm 1, a vertical stand 2 and a lower housing-like base plate 3. In the arm 1, an arm shaft 4 is mounted, via which a needle bar 5 with needle 6 up and down driven. Furthermore, a thread lever 7 is driven by it.

In der Grundplatte 3 ist ein Vertikal-Greifer 8, das heißt ein um eine vertikale Achse 9 drehantreibbarer Doppel-Steppstich-Greifer 8, gelagert. Eine den Greifer 8 tragende Greifer-Antriebs-Welle 10, die um die Achse 9 antreibbar ist, ist in einem in der Grundplatte 3 angeordneten Greiferlager-Gehäuse 11 drehbar gelagert. Sie wird mittels einer Übertragungs-Welle 12 mittels eines Kegelrad-Getriebes 13 angetrieben. Die Übertragungs-Welle 12 wiederum wird mittels eines Zahnriementriebes 14 von der Armwelle 4 angetrieben. Der Zahnriementrieb 14 weist ein Übersetzungsverhältnis von 1:1 auf. Das Kegelrad-Getriebe 13 ist derart bemessen, dass ein Übersetzungsverhältnis von 1:2 realisiert ist. Dies bedeutet, dass sich der Greifer 8 zweimal dreht, wenn die Armwelle 4 beziehungsweise die Übertragungs-Welle 12 eine Umdrehung ausführt. Um dies zu realisieren, weist das an der Übertragungs-Welle 12 angebrachte große Antriebs-Kegelrad 15 die doppelte Zähnezahl auf wie das an der Greifer-Antriebs-Welle 10 angebrachte Abtriebs-Kegelrad 16.In the base plate 3, a vertical gripper 8, that is a about a vertical axis 9 rotatably driven double lockstitch gripper 8, stored. A gripper drive shaft 10 carrying the gripper 8, which can be driven about the axis 9, is rotatably mounted in a gripper bearing housing 11 arranged in the base plate 3. It is driven by means of a transmission shaft 12 by means of a bevel gear 13. The transmission shaft 12, in turn, is driven by the arm shaft 4 by means of a toothed belt drive 14. The toothed belt drive 14 has a transmission ratio of 1: 1. The bevel gear 13 is dimensioned such that a gear ratio of 1: 2 is realized. This means that the gripper 8 rotates twice when the arm shaft 4 and the transmission shaft 12 makes one revolution. To realize this, the attached to the transmission shaft 12 large drive bevel gear 15 has the double the number of teeth on the as attached to the gripper drive shaft 10 output bevel gear 16th

Oberhalb des Greifers 8 ist an der Oberseite der Grundplatte 3 eine Stichlochplatte 17 mit einem Stichloch 18 befestigt. Der Greifer 8 weist eine Greiferspitze 19 auf, die unmittelbar an der durch das Stichloch 18 eingetauchten Nadel 6 vorbeiläuft und einen in dieser geführten Nadelfaden 20 ergreifen kann. Im Greifer 8 ist eine Spulenkapsel 21 gelagert, die um die Achse 9 gegenüber dem Greifer 8 frei drehbar ist. Die Spulenkapsel 21 liegt mit einem Lager-Ringbund 22 an einem Lager-Ring 23 an, der auf dem topfförmigen Greifer-Körper 24 des Greifers 8 angebracht ist. Die Spulenkapsel 21 ist in der üblichen Weise derart gelagert, dass der von der Greiferspitze 19 erfasste Nadelfaden 20 um die Spulenkapsel 21 herumgeführt werden kann.Above the gripper 8, a tap hole plate 17 with a tap hole 18 is attached to the top of the base plate 3. The gripper 8 has a gripper tip 19, which passes directly to the immersed by the needle hole 18 needle 6 and can take a guided in this needle thread 20. In the gripper 8, a bobbin case 21 is mounted, which is freely rotatable about the axis 9 relative to the gripper 8. The bobbin case 21 abuts with a bearing collar 22 on a bearing ring 23 which is mounted on the cup-shaped gripper body 24 of the gripper 8. The bobbin case 21 is mounted in the usual manner such that the needle thread 20 grasped by the hook tip 19 can be guided around the bobbin case 21.

Die Spulenkapsel 21 ist ebenfalls im Wesentlichen topfförmig ausgebildet wie den Fig. 2 bis 4 entnehmbar ist. Sie weist konzentrisch zur Mittel-Längs-Achse 9 der Greifer-Antriebs-Welle 10 und des Greifers 8, die auch ihre eigene Achse ist, einen hohlen Lager-Zapfen 25 auf, der eine Greiferfaden-Spule 26 aufnimmt. Diese weist in bekannter Weise eine hohle Nabe 27 und einen oberen Flansch 28 und einen unteren Flansch 29 auf. Die Spule 26 wird nach Entnahme aus der Spulenkapsel 21 mit einem Vorrat an Greiferfaden 30 versehen und dann in die Spulenkapsel 21 eingesetzt.The bobbin case 21 is also substantially cup-shaped like the Fig. 2 to 4 is removable. It has concentric with the central longitudinal axis 9 of the gripper drive shaft 10 and the gripper 8, which is also its own axis, a hollow bearing pin 25 which receives a looper thread spool 26. This has a hollow hub 27 and an upper flange 28 and a lower flange 29 in a known manner. The coil 26 is provided after removal from the bobbin case 21 with a supply of looper thread 30 and then inserted into the bobbin case 21.

In der Nabe 27 der Spule 26 ist eine ringzylindrische Ausnehmung 31 ausgebildet, die nach innen zum Lager-Zapfen 25 hin offen ist. In dieser Ausnehmung 31 ist eine als zylindrische Schraubenfeder ausgebildete Bremsund Ausschub-Feder 32 angeordnet, die in einer Ringnut 33 im Boden 34 der Spulenkapsel 21 abgestützt und mittels eines Ringbundes 33a gegenüber der Achse 9 zentriert ist. In der Nabe 27 der Spule 26 stützt sie sich gegen einen Anschlag 31 a ab.In the hub 27 of the coil 26, a ring-cylindrical recess 31 is formed, which is open to the bearing journal 25 inwardly. In this recess 31 designed as a cylindrical coil spring brake and Ausschub spring 32 is arranged, which is supported in an annular groove 33 in the bottom 34 of the bobbin case 21 and by means of a ring collar 33a opposite the axis 9 is centered. In the hub 27 of the coil 26, it is supported against a stop 31 a from.

Als Verriegelungs-Einrichtung 35 dient ein in dem hohlen Lager-Zapfen 25 schwenkbar gelagerter Verriegelungs-Hebel 36, der zwei um 90° gegeneinander versetzte Anlage-Flächen 37, 38 aufweist. Diesen Anlage-Flächen 37, 38 ist ein in einer Ausnehmung 39 des Lager-Zapfens 25 in Richtung der Achse 9 verschiebbar gelagertes Widerlager 40 zugeordnet, das von einer vorgespannten Schrauben-Druck-Feder 41 gegen eine der Anlage-Flächen 37 oder 38 gedrückt wird. An dem Widerlager 40 liegt die Anlage-Fläche 37 des Hebels 36 an, wenn dieser gegenüber der Achse 9 um etwa 90° verschwenkt ist, so dass die Spule 26 gegen die Kraft der Brems- und Ausschub-Feder 32 zum Boden 34 der Spulenkapsel 21 hin verschoben ist, wie aus Fig. 2 hervorgeht. Die Anlage-Fläche 38 liegt gegen das Widerlager 40 an, wenn der Hebel 36 etwa in Richtung der Achse 9 verläuft, d. h. wenn die Verriegelungs-Einrichtung 35 gelöst ist, so dass die Spule 26 von der Brems- und Ausschub-Feder 32 aus der Spulenkapsel 21 herausgeschoben wird, wie es in Fig. 4 dargestellt ist. In dieser Position kann die Spule 26 von der Bedienungsperson aus der Spulenkapsel 21 herausgenommen werden. Wie ein Vergleich der Fig. 2 und 4 erkennen lässt, wird die Brems- und Ausschub-Feder 32 bei eingesetzter Spule 26 weitestgehend zusammengedrückt; nach dem Öffnen der Verriegelungs-Einrichtung 35 entspannt sie sich und schiebt die Spule 26 weitgehend nach oben aus der Spulenkapsel 21 heraus, so dass sie leicht ergriffen werden kann. Wie weiterhin aus den Fig. 2 und 4 erkennbar ist, erstreckt sich die Ausnehmung 31 vom unteren Flansch 29 in Richtung zum oberen Flansch 28 über etwa ein Viertel der Erstreckung der Spule 26 in Richtung der Achse 8. Die Ausnehmung 31 kann aber auch bis zur Hälfte dieser axialen Erstreckung einnehmen, und zwar insbesondere, wenn der Spalt zwischen unteren Flansch 29 und Boden 34 verkleinert wird.As locking means 35 is a pivotally mounted in the hollow bearing pin 25 locking lever 36 which has two mutually offset by 90 ° abutment surfaces 37, 38. These abutment surfaces 37, 38 is associated with a bearing in a recess 39 of the bearing pin 25 in the direction of the axis 9 slidably mounted abutment 40 which is pressed by a prestressed helical compression spring 41 against one of the abutment surfaces 37 or 38 , At the abutment 40, the abutment surface 37 of the lever 36 abuts when it is pivoted about the axis 9 by about 90 °, so that the coil 26 against the force of the brake and Ausschub spring 32 to the bottom 34 of the bobbin 21st is postponed, how out Fig. 2 evident. The abutment surface 38 abuts against the abutment 40 when the lever 36 extends approximately in the direction of the axis 9, that is, when the locking device 35 is released, so that the coil 26 of the brake and Ausschub spring 32 from the Bobbin case 21 is pushed out, as it is in Fig. 4 is shown. In this position, the coil 26 can be removed from the bobbin case 21 by the operator. Like a comparison of Fig. 2 and 4 can be seen, the brake and Ausschub spring 32 is largely compressed with inserted coil 26; after opening the locking device 35 it relaxes and pushes the coil 26 largely upwards out of the bobbin case 21 so that it can be easily grasped. As continues from the Fig. 2 and 4 can be seen, the recess 31 extends from the lower flange 29 in the direction of the upper flange 28 over about a quarter of the extension of the coil 26 in the direction of the axis 8. The recess 31 may also be up to half of this axial extent take, in particular, when the gap between the lower flange 29 and bottom 34 is reduced.

Wie aus den Fig. 2 bis 4 hervorgeht, weist die Spule 26 im Bereich ihres oberen Flansches 28, und zwar an der Nabe 27, eine sogenannte Mitnehmer-Nut 42 auf, die notwendig ist, damit die Spule 26 in einer Spul-Maschine zum Aufspulen eines Greiferfadens 30 drehangetrieben werden kann. In diese Mitnehmer-Nut 42 greift ein Mitnehmer der Spul-Maschine ein, um einen formschlüssigen Drehantrieb sicherzustellen.Like from the Fig. 2 to 4 As can be seen, the spool 26 in the region of its upper flange 28, namely on the hub 27, a so-called cam groove 42 which is necessary so that the spool 26 can be rotated in a winding machine for winding a rapier thread 30. In this driver groove 42 engages a driver of the winding machine to ensure a positive rotary drive.

Damit der Verriegelungs-Hebel 36 beim Betrieb des Greifers 8 nicht den gleichmäßigen freien Umlauf der Spule 26 beim jeweiligen Überlaufen der Mitnehmer-Nut 42 behindert, ist radial außerhalb der Mitnehmer-Nut 42 zwischen dem Verriegelungs-Hebel 36 und dem Flansch 28 der Spule 26 ein Gleit-Lager 43 ausgebildet. In verriegeltem Zustand des Hebels 36 und damit der Spule 26 in der Spulenkapsel 21 liegen somit der Hebel 36 und der obere Flansch 28 nur in einem Ringflächen-Bereich 44 des Flansches 28 und einer als Erhöhung des Hebels 36 ausgebildeten Andrückfläche 44a aneinander, wobei die stets gleiche Andrückkraft durch die zusammengedrückte zylindrische Brems- und Ausschub-Feder 32 gegeben ist. Das Reibmoment und damit das Bremsmoment zwischen dem Verriegelungs-Hebel 36 und der Greiferfaden-Spule 26 ist also auch über jeweils eine Umdrehung der Spule 26 konstant.Thus, the locking lever 36 during operation of the gripper 8 does not obstruct the smooth free circulation of the spool 26 at the respective overflow of the cam groove 42 is radially outwardly of the cam groove 42 between the locking lever 36 and the flange 28 of the coil 26th a sliding bearing 43 is formed. In the locked state of the lever 36 and thus the coil 26 in the bobbin case 21 are thus the lever 36 and the upper flange 28 only in an annular surface area 44 of the flange 28 and formed as an increase of the lever 36 pressing surface 44a together, the always same pressing force is given by the compressed cylindrical brake and Ausschub spring 32. The friction torque and thus the braking torque between the locking lever 36 and the looper thread bobbin 26 is therefore also constant over one revolution of the bobbin 26.

An das Gleit-Lager 43 schließt sich radial nach außen eine Einwölbung 45 im Hebel 36 an, die als Griffmulde dient. Zum Öffnen des VerriegelungsHebels 36 aus der abgewinkelten Position gemäß Fig. 2 in die geöffnete Position gemäß Fig. 4 kann die Bedienungsperson den Hebel 36 zwischen diesem und dem oberen Flansch 28 der Spule 26 ergreifen, ohne ein Werkzeug zu Hilfe nehmen zu müssen.At the sliding bearing 43 is followed radially outwardly a concavity 45 in the lever 36, which serves as a grip. To open the locking lever 36 from the angled position according to Fig. 2 in the open position according to Fig. 4 the operator can move the lever 36 between take this and the upper flange 28 of the coil 26 without having to take a tool to help.

Wie aus Fig. 3 und 5 ersichtlich ist, sind außerhalb des Ringflächenbereichs 44 in relativ dichter Folge sich radial kurz bis vor den Außenrand 46 des Flansches 28 erstreckende Langlöcher 47 ausgebildet, die gleichmäßig über den Umfang verteilt sind. Sie erstrecken sich bis an die Nabe 27, aber nicht bis zu dem Ringflächen-Bereich 44 des Flansches 28. Diese Langlöcher 47 erlauben eine sehr genaue Beobachtung des Vorrats an Greiferfaden 30. Des Weiteren wird die Masse und damit das Trägheitsmoment der Spule 26 reduziert.How out Fig. 3 and 5 it can be seen, extending outside the annular surface area 44 in a relatively dense sequence extending radially short to the outer edge 46 of the flange 28 elongated holes 47, which are distributed uniformly over the circumference. They extend to the hub 27, but not to the annular surface area 44 of the flange 28. These slots 47 allow a very accurate observation of the supply of looper thread 30. Furthermore, the mass and thus the moment of inertia of the coil 26 is reduced.

Die in den Fig. 6 und 7 dargestellte Greiferfaden-Spule 26a weist eine als Ringnut ausgebildete Ausnehmung 31 b auf, in die eine Brems- und Ausschub-Feder 32a eingreifen kann, wie sie in Fig. 8 dargestellt ist, während die in den Fig. 2 und 4 dargestellte Brems- und Ausschub-Feder 32 Windungen 48 aufweist, die durchgehend gleichen Durchmesser aufweisen, weist die Brems- und Ausschub-Feder 32a im untersten Bereich eine oder zwei Windungen 48a reduzierten Durchmessers auf, so dass sie auch auf dem Ringbund 33a zentriert werden kann, obwohl die übrigen Windungen 48 einen vergrößerten Durchmesser aufweisen, da die Ausnehmung 31 b aufgrund ihrer Ausgestaltung als Ringnut einen gegenüber den Fig. 2 und 4 vergrößerten Durchmesser aufweist. Die Ausgestaltung nach den Fig. 6 und 7 weist den Vorteil auf, dass trotz der ringförmigen Ausnehmung 31 b für die Brems- und Ausschub-Feder 32a die volle Führungslänge der Greiferfaden-Spule 26a auf dem Lager-Zapfen 25 der Spulenkapsel 21 erhalten bleibt.The in the 6 and 7 shown looper thread bobbin 26 a has a groove 31 formed as an annular recess b, into which a brake and Ausschub spring 32 a can engage, as shown in Fig. 8, while in the Fig. 2 and 4 shown brake and Ausschub spring 32 has turns 48, which have the same diameter throughout, the brake and Ausschub spring 32a in the lowermost region one or two windings 48a of reduced diameter, so that they can be centered on the annular collar 33a Although the remaining turns 48 have an enlarged diameter, since the recess 31 b due to their design as an annular groove over the Fig. 2 and 4 having enlarged diameter. The embodiment according to the 6 and 7 has the advantage that despite the annular recess 31 b for the brake and Ausschub spring 32 a, the full guide length of the hook thread bobbin 26 a on the bearing pin 25 of the bobbin case 21 is maintained.

Wie aus den Fig. 6 und 7 weiterhin hervorgeht, kann das Gleit-Lager 43 auch in der Weise ausgestaltet sein, dass der Ringflächen-Bereich 44b als Erhöhung auf dem oberen Flansch 28 der Greiferfaden-Spule 26a ausgebildet wird. In diesem Fall kann die Andrückfläche 44a am Verriegelungs-Hebel 36 ausgebildet sein, was aber nicht notwendig ist.Like from the 6 and 7 Furthermore, it can be understood that the sliding bearing 43 can be configured in such a manner that the annular surface portion 44b is formed as an elevation on the upper flange 28 of the looper thread bobbin 26a. In this case, the pressing surface 44a may be formed on the lock lever 36, but this is not necessary.
