Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cloth feeding device of a sewing machine.
  • the cloth feeding device is operable to set an amount of cloth to be fed by a feed dog which moves in accordance with a driving shaft of the sewing machine.
  • a conventional cloth feeding device of a sewing machine includes a feeding mechanism for giving a feed dog a feeding motion through a reciprocating operation in a vertical direction and a reciprocating operation in a horizontal direction, and a feeding amount adjusting mechanism for changing an amount of the reciprocating operation in the horizontal direction.
  • Fig. 12 shows a conventional example of a conventional cloth feeding device described in JP 2007-202667 A .
  • a horizontal feeding shaft 210 is connected to a feeding base 211 to which a feed dog F is fixed, and rotates about its own axis in a reciprocating manner to give a back and forth motion in a horizontal direction to the feed dog F.
  • a reverse feeding lever shaft 204 is rotatably supported by a sewing machine frame, and has one end to which a reverse feeding lever (not shown) is fixed so that it can be rotated from the outside.
  • a lever arm 201 is fixed to the reverse feeding lever shaft 204, and is coupled to a converting member 206 via a connecting rod 205.
  • the converting member 206 is rotatably supported by the sewing machine frame, and has a groove portion 207 along an orthogonal direction to its rotating axis.
  • a bell crank 209 has one end provided with a pair of rectangular pieces 209A and the other end rotatably connected to the horizontal feeding shaft 210. The rectangular pieces 209A are slidably fitted in the groove portion 207.
  • a driving member 208 is eccentrically fixed to a lower shaft (not shown) connected to a sewing machine driving shaft (not shown), and has a tip end connected to a central part of the bell crank 209. In accordance with the rotation of the lower shaft, the driving member 208 vertically moves a portion of the bell crank 209 connected to the driving member 208 by an amount corresponding to its eccentricity.
  • the bell crank 209 generates an amount of a motion in the horizontal direction depending on a tilt angle of the groove portion 207 when the portion connected to the driving member 208 is vertically moved, and the amount of the motion is converted into an amount of the reciprocating rotation of the horizontal feeding shaft 210, whereby an amount of a motion of the feed dog F in the horizontal direction, that is, a cloth feeding amount is obtained. Accordingly, the cloth feeding amount and a cloth feeding direction of the feed dog F change in accordance with a change in the tilt angle of the groove portion 207.
  • the following structure is provided as a mechanism for changing the tilt angle of the groove portion 207, that is, the feeding amount.
  • the lever arm 201 is provided with a feed regulating pin 202 protruded in an axial direction of the reverse feeding lever shaft 204 from a leading end portion of the lever arm 201.
  • a cam member 213, a screw shaft 214 (an abutting member) and an adjusting dial 215 are provided to form a first adjusting section.
  • the cam member 213 is rotatably supported by the sewing machine frame at its a lower end, and has, on a side face in an upper part, a cam face 213A which is formed to be almost V-shape and on which the feed regulating pin 202 abuts.
  • a cam face 213A which is formed to be almost V-shape and on which the feed regulating pin 202 abuts.
  • the V-shaped cam face 213A has an upper face corresponding to a forward feed and a lower face corresponding to a reverse feed.
  • the lever arm 201 receives a biasing force such that the feed regulating pin 202 abuts on the upper face of the cam face 213A for the forward feed.
  • the screw shaft 214 is provided to enable a screwing adjustment with respect to the sewing machine frame.
  • a tip portion of the screw shaft 214 abuts on a side of the cam member 213 opposite the cam face 213A, and a rotational position of the cam member 213 is changed in accordance with an amount of movement of the screw shaft 214 in its axial direction through the screwing.
  • a rotational biasing force is applied to the cam member 213 such that the cam member 213 engages with the tip of the screw shaft 214.
  • the adjusting dial 215 is fixed to the screw shaft 214 such that the screw shaft 214 can be screwed and adjusted by a rotating operation from the outside of the sewing machine frame.
  • the cam member 213 is rotated so that a portion of the cam face 213A with which the feed regulating pin 202 engages is changed, whereby a rotational angle of the lever arm 201 is changed so that the tilt angle of the groove portion 207 of the converting member 206 is changed through the connecting rod 205.
  • the feeding direction and the feeding amount by the feed dog F are adjusted.
  • the feeding amount adjusting mechanism further includes a second adjusting section having a cam member 223, a screw shaft (an abutting member) 224, and an adjusting dial 225.
  • the cam member 223 is rotatably supported by the sewing machine frame and a similar V-shaped cam face 223A as the cam face 213A of the cam member 213 is formed at a lower end thereof.
  • a connecting rod 203 connected to an air cylinder (not shown) is connected to the cam member 223.
  • the screw shaft 224 and the adjusting dial 225 have the similar structures as those of the screw shafts 214 and the adjusting dial 215 of the first adjusting section.
  • the second adjusting section is configured to enable a setting of a feeding pitch that is smaller than a feeding pitch set by the first adjusting section, so that a feeding amount for condense stitching can be set.
  • the cam member 213 is rotated in accordance with the axial movement of the screw shaft 214, and when the feed regulating pin 202 changes its abutting position within a range of the forward feeding face of the cam face 213 for example, the lever arm 201 is rotated in accordance with the change in the abutting position so that the forward feeding amount by the feed dog F is adjusted accordinly.
  • the reverse feeding lever (not shown) When the reverse feeding lever (not shown) is operated, the reverse feeding lever shaft 204 is rotated so that the feed regulating pin 202 abutting on the forward feeding face changes its abutting position to the opposing reverse feeding face. Thus, the reverse feeding operation is carried out at the corresponding feeding pitch.
  • a workpiece to be processed by a sewing machine has diversified recently and, accordingly, a larger pitch is required for a feeding amount per time, that is, a sewing pitch.
  • the conventional feeding amount adjusting mechanism has a structure in which a rotational position of the lever arm 201 is changed in accordance with an engaging position of the feed regulating pin 202 on the cam face.
  • the V-shaped cam face needs to be changed by opening the V-shape more toward the outside or by extending each of the sloped faces of the V-shape. If the cam face is opened more toward the outside, however, a slight change of the adjusting dial causes a greater change in the feeding amount, which makes it difficult to finely adjust the feeding amount. If a size of the cam member is increased, moreover, a larger arranging space for the feeding amount adjusting mechanism is required in the sewing machine frame.
  • the feed adjusting dial is desired to be disposed on a front face of a vertical drum portion of the sewing machine in view of easy operation.
  • various structures for power transmission are arranged inside the vertical drum portion, it is difficult to increase the arranging space for the feeding amount adjusting mechanism.
  • a cloth feeding device of a sewing machine includes:
  • the cloth feeding device is characterized in that the cam face of the feed adjusting member is continuously smooth and flat.
  • the transmission mechanism may include:
  • the feeding amount adjusting mechanism may include:
  • the feeding amount adjusting mechanism may include, between the feed adjusting dial and the abutting member, a converting portion configured to convert the rotating operation of the feed adjusting dial into a linear motion in the linear moving direction of the abutting member; and a speed increasing portion configured to increase a speed of the rotating operation of the feed adjusting dial.
  • the converting section may include:
  • the cloth feeding device may include a transmission link having one end connected to the feed adjusting member and the other end connected to the support shaft of the feed converting member, wherein the transmission link is configured to directly transmit a rotation of the feed adjusting member to the support shaft of the feed converting member.
  • the single flat cam face of the feed adjusting member abuts on the tip portion of the abutting member.
  • the feed adjusting member needs be enlarged in a longitudinal direction of the sloped faces (the linear moving direction of the abutting member) in order to increase an adjustable range of a feeding pitch.
  • the cam face directly facing the abutting member can be enlarged to increase an adjustable range of a feeding pitch so that it is possible to suppress an enlargement in the linear moving direction of the abutting member.
  • the feeding amount adjusting mechanism is disposed in a narrow vertical drum portion for example, it is possible to easily ensure an arranging space therefor. Even if the feeding pitch width is increased, moreover, it is possible to avoid the enlargement in the feed adjusting member in the linear moving direction of the abutting member. Therefore, it is not necessary to extend the abutting member in its linear moving direction. Consequently, an influence of a bending moment is not increased. Thus, it is possible to reduce a generation of a pitch error due to a flexure of the abutting member.
  • the cam face is the continuously smooth flat face.
  • the abutting member is designed to have a size that can be placed in the V shape. Accordingly the size of the abutting member can be greater than that in the prior art.

  • the adjusted can be carried out in a state in which the single flat cam face 42a (or 62a) of the feed adjusting member 42 (or 62) abuts on the tip portion of the abutting member 50 (or 70).
  • the feed adjusting member is to be enlarged in a longitudinal direction of the sloped face (the linear moving direction of the abutting member) in order to increase the adjustable range of the feeding pitch.
  • the feeding amount adjusting mechanism 10 it is preferable to enlarge the cam face 42a (or 62a) which directly faces the abutting member 50 (or 70) along the flat face, and it is possible to suppress an enlargement in the feed adjusting member 42 (or 62) in the linear moving direction of the abutting member 50 (or 70).
  • the feeding amount adjusting mechanism 10 is to be disposed in the narrow vertical drum portion, for example, it is possible to easily maintain a arranging space. Even if the feeding pitch width is increased, moreover, it is possible to avoid an enlargement in the feed adjusting member 42 (or 62) in the linear moving direction of the abutting member 50 (or 70). Therefore, it is not necessary to extend the abutting member 50 (or 70) in the linear moving direction thereof. Consequently, an influence of a bending moment is not increased. Thus, it is possible to reduce a generation of a pitch error due to a flexure of the abutting member.
  • the cam face 42a (or 62a) is smoothened.
  • the abutting member 50 (or 70) is to take such a size as to be put in the V shape. Consequently, the size of the abutting member 50 (or 70) can be greater than a conventional size.
  • it is possible to easily take a countermeasure against a wear for example, an increase in a radius of curvature in a contact portion of the cam face 42a (or 62a) and the abutting member 50 (or 70).
  • a wear resistance of the abutting member 50 (or 70) it is possible to enhance a wear resistance of the abutting member 50 (or 70).
  • the structures of the abutting members 50 and 70 are not restricted to the foregoing.
  • a screw hole 50b in the X-axis direction in order to pass through an abutting position of the abutting member 50 on the cam face 42a (both an abutting position in case of forward feeding and an abutting position in case of reverse feeding) and to provide abutting members 50c and 50c which have tip portions formed to be round and rear ends to be screwed into the screw hole 50b.
  • the position of the abutting member 50c can be adjusted in the linear moving direction of the abutting member 50 by turning a screw, and the pitch can be adjusted easily through the feed adjusting dial 44.
  • the first adjusting section 40 is shown in Fig. 11 , the same structure may be provided in the second adjusting section 60.
  • the structures of the feeding mechanism 100 and the converting section 20 are not restricted to the foregoing.
  • a tilt angle of a feed adjusting unit 13 for regulating a reciprocating direction is regulated by using a feeding mechanism utilizing a feed forked connection 1 shown in Fig. 4 of JP 2001-212387 A
  • a smooth cam face may be used.
  • a smooth cam face may be used in a member for regulating an operating direction of the rectangular piece as in the embodiment.
