Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sewing machine equipped with a lower thread cutting device disposed inside a bed.
  • a sewing machine according to a related art is disclosed in, for example, JP2003-154184A .
  • the thread cutting device 100 includes a lower moving knife 101 including an edge portion 101A and an upper moving knife 102 including an edge portion 102A.
  • the lower moving knife 101 and the upper moving knife 102 are supported rotatably around a horizontal axis.
  • the thread cutting device 100 further includes a guide member 103 for guiding the lower thread T to the position between the edge portions 101A, 102A.
  • the guide member 103 extends above the upper moving knife 102. Specifically, when the moving knives 101 and 102 advance so as to cross the path of the lower thread T, the guide member 103 moves integrally with the moving knives 101 and 102 and pushes the lower thread T down so as to position the lower thread T on the path of both moving knives 101 and 102.
  • the lower thread T slides on the guide member 103, and the lower thread T enters the space between the guide member 103 and the upper moving knife 102 and deviates from the path of the edge portions 101A, 102A, and it becomes impossible to cut the lower thread T.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a sewing machine capable of reliably cutting a lower thread without using a guide member that is provided integrally with a pair of moving knives.
  • a sewing machine includes a cloth feed base on which a cloth is placed, a stitch forming means for forming stitches by an upper thread and a lower thread on the cloth placed on the cloth feed base, and a thread cutting device disposed below the cloth feed base and having a lower knife and an upper knife that cuts the lower thread in cooperation with the lower knife.
  • the cloth feed base has a bulged portion protruding upward to separate the lower thread and the cloth from each other.
  • the bulged portion has a portion defining at least a part of a gap portion serving as a movement path of the upper knife, the movement path being above the lower surface of the cloth feed base.
  • the bulged portion protruding upward is provided on the cloth feed base to separate the lower thread and the cloth, and the bulged portion is provided to form a gap portion serving as the movement path of the upper knife and the lower knife, so that the upper knife can be guided to the gap formed between the thread and the cloth by the bulged portion, and the lower thread can be reliably cut.
  • the lower thread path may be arranged along the cloth feed base (along the cloth), that is, along the horizontal direction.
  • the upper and lower knives move below the cloth feed base, so that if the lower thread path is made parallel to the cloth feed base, the lower thread cannot be captured by the upper and lower knives.
  • the movement path of the upper and lower knives can reliably capture and cut the lower thread, so that the lower thread can be reliably cut, and the remaining length of the thread connected to the cloth can be shortened. Further, even without using a guide member provided integrally with the upper and lower knives, the lower thread can be reliably cut.
  • a sewing machine 10 according to an embodiment shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 is an automatic-control eyelet sewing machine that forms overlock stitches and a buttonhole B on a cloth H.
  • the sewing machine 10 includes a bed portion 11 having a substantially rectangular box shape, a vertical drum portion 12 provided on the rear portion of the bed portion 11, an arm portion 13 extending forward substantially parallel to the bed portion 11 from the upper portion of the vertical drum portion 12, a cloth feed base 16 on which a cloth (workpiece) H is placed and which moves the cloth within a horizontal plane, a cloth presser 17 that presses the cloth H against the upper surface of the cloth feed base 16, a cloth cutting knife 41 for forming a buttonhole and a knife receiver 42.

  • a lower shaft is connected to the upper shaft via a transmission mechanism including a timing belt, and a rotative force of the upper shaft is transmitted via the transmission mechanism to rotate the lower shaft.
  • a needle bar 15 is provided so as to be moved up and down by a known needle bar up-down drive mechanism (not illustrated) that is driven by the upper shaft and to be moved for needle oscillation in the left-right direction (X direction in Fig. 2 ) by a known needle oscillation mechanism (not illustrated).
  • a sewing machine needle 14 is fixed, and through a thread insertion hole at the tip end (lower end) of the sewing machine needle 14, an upper thread is inserted.
  • the sewing machine needle 14 projects downward and withdraws by penetrating through an eye (not illustrated) made in a throat plate 11A ( Fig. 2 ) provided in the bed portion 11 according to up-down movements of the needle bar 15.
  • the needle oscillation mechanism has a conventional configuration that enables mechanical adjustment of the needle oscillation width.
  • a looper (not illustrated) having a hole on the tip end through which the lower thread T2 is inserted is provided just below the throat plate 11A.
  • the looper is connected to the lower shaft and swings in synch with the up-down movements of the needle bar 15.
  • the sewing machine needle 14 and the looper form a stitch forming means.

  • the cloth cutting knife-side end edge of this bulged portion 161 is formed straight along the X direction, and protrudes upward so that a level difference is formed between this and the upper plane surface of the cloth feed base 16. Accordingly, as shown in Fig. 13 , the cloth H on the cloth feed base 16 is bent at the boundary between the upper end face of the cloth feed base 16 and the upper surface of the bulged portion 161.
  • a substantially oval hole portion 162 opened so as to expose the upper side of the throat plate 11A and a guide hole portion 162A opened on the Y-axis direction line passing through the center of the hole portion 162 are formed along the Y direction.
  • the oval shape along the Y direction of the hole portion 162 is for allowing the throat plate 11A to relatively move according to movement of the cloth feed base 16.
  • the lower thread T2 passing between the cloth H and the throat plate 11A passes through the inside of the guide hole portion 162 and becomes almost straight.
  • the cloth H positioned on the upper end face of the cloth feed base 16 and pressed by the cloth presser 17 is bent at the boundary with the upper surface of the bulged portion 161. Therefore, the paths of the bent cloth H and the lower thread T2 are separated up and down at the bulged portion 161.

  • the shaft 62a of the shoulder screw 61a passes through the base end portion of the lower knife 51 and is fixed to the fourth link member 548a by a set screw 64a.
  • fixation by the set screw 64a is released and the screw head 63a of the shoulder screw 61a is rotated, the shaft 62a rotates around the rotation axis of the screw head 63a, and the position of the shaft 62a changes. According to this change, the position of the base end portion of the lower knife 51a also changes, and the opening/closing position of the tip end portion of the lower knife 51 is adjusted.
  • a pin 549a that engages in the slot 544a of the thread cutting lever 542a is attached via a washer 549b and a shoulder screw 549c.
  • the shoulder screw 549c and one end portion of the fourth link member 548a hold the pin 549a therebetween, so that rattling in the axial direction is prevented.
  • the pin 549a transmits the rotative movement of the thread cutting lever 542a to the fourth link member 548a, so that the fourth link member 548a swings the third link member 546a by following the rotative movement of the thread cutting lever 542a.
  • the movement of the third link member 546a is also transmitted to the second link member 545a via the upper knife 52a, so that the upper knife 52a and the second link member 545a also swing together with the third link member 546a.
  • the fourth link member 548a moves the lower knife 51a as well, so that the lower knife 51a and the upper knife 52a have opening and closing movements.
  • Fig. 20 the case where the lower knife 51a and the upper knife 52a are in an opened state is shown.
  • the positions in the up-down direction of the lower knife 51a and the upper knife 52a can be adjusted (for example, refer to the alternate long and two short dashed line shown in Fig. 19 ).
  • the position of the other end portion of the second link member 545a changes, and the position of the upper knife 52a also changes.
  • the knife position adjustment mechanism that performs positional adjustment of the lower knife 51a and the upper knife 52a includes the slot 551b of the wall portion 551a, the rotary shaft 545c, the second link member 545a, the shoulder screw 61a, and the fourth link member 548a.
  • the lower thread cutting device 50A is provided with a stopper member 80a for adjusting the movable range of the first link member 541a.
  • the stopper member 80a includes a base portion 81a attached to the wall portion 551a and a restricting portion 82a that is bent with respect to the base portion 81a and extends in the up-down direction.
  • a pair of slots 84a extending in the up-down direction are formed, and by inserting fixation screws 85a through the slots 84a and screwing these to the wall portion 551a, the base portion 81a is fixed to the wall portion 551a.
  • fixation screws 85a By moving up and down the base portion 81a along the slots 84a via the fixation screws 85a, the position in the up-down direction of the whole stopper member 80a can be adjusted.
  • a guide hole 83a extending in the up-down direction is formed, and the projection 541b of the first link member 541a engages in this guide hole 83a.
  • the upper end position of the guide hole 83a is also adjusted, so that the top dead point of the projection 541b of the first link member 541a, that is, the movable range of the upper side of the first link member 541a can be changed.
  • the stopper member 80a that adjusts the movable range of the first link member 541a is attached to the support base 55a in a position adjustable manner, so that by adjusting the position of the stopper member 80a, the movable range of the first link member 541a can be adjusted.
  • the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but is changeable as appropriate.
  • the drive source of the lower thread cutting device 50 is the air cylinder 53
  • other actuators such as a motor or solenoid can also be used as the drive source.
