Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a thread routing mechanism located on a sewing head of a sewing machine to stabilize multiple threads for sewing operation, and more particularly to a thread routing mechanism that defines multiple thread courses and keeps multiple threads in the thread courses in the same length when multiple needle bars on one sewing head of the sewing machine are changed from one to another.
  • the thread routing mechanism further includes a thread pinching unit for pinching or releasing the threads in the sewing operation and needle bar changing operation, respectively.
  • a sewing machine must include an upper horizontal arm, a lower machine bed and a needle plate.
  • An arm shaft in the upper horizontal arm actuates a thread take-up mechanism and a crank unit synchronously, so as to drive a needle bar mechanism in a sewing head to move upward and downward.
  • a fabric feeding mechanism is provided on the lower machine bed, and a loop taker is provided below the needle plate.
  • a needle carried by the needle bar mechanism is driven to move upward and downward reciprocatingly to pierce through the fabric, so that a thread extended through an eye of the needle is also brought to downward extend through the fabric; meanwhile, the thread take-up mechanism and the loop taker are coordinately moved in correct time sequence to take up and release the thread.
  • the thread take-up mechanism is normally arranged above the needle bar mechanism to ensure proper tension of the thread and minimize a resistance to the thread when the same passes through the thread take-up mechanism.
  • the thread take-up mechanism is normally arranged above the needle bar mechanism to ensure proper tension of the thread and minimize a resistance to the thread when the same passes through the thread take-up mechanism.
  • the thread take-up mechanism must also be able to handle multiple threads.
  • the thread take-up mechanism located above the needle bars as in the conventional design, the length of the threads in the thread courses can not maintain same after the needle bar changing operation, resulting in change of the tension of the threads to adversely affect the subsequent sewing operation.
  • a primary object of the present invention is to provide a thread routing mechanism, which is installed on a sewing machine having changeable needle bars to define multiple thread courses, so that multiple threads respectively routed through the defined thread courses can maintain in the same length even when the needle bars on the sewing head of the sewing machine are changed from one to another.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide the above thread routing mechanism and a thread pinching unit.
  • the thread pinching unit Before changing the needle bars on the sewing machine, the thread pinching unit cooperates with other parts to release the threads, which are routed through the thread courses, for needle bar changing operation. After the needle bar changing operation and before the sewing operation, the thread pinching unit cooperates with other parts to pinch the threads, lest the threads should move out of the eyes on the needles carried by the needle bars.
  • the thread routing mechanism for sewing machine mainly includes a thread take-up lever, a locating disk, and a cylindrical needle bar case.
  • the cylindrical needle bar case has a rotation axis and a plurality of axially extended and circumferentially spaced needle bar holes.
  • the rotation axis is equally distant from all needle bar holes; each of the needle bar holes has a needle bar received therein, and the needle bars respectively carry a needle having an eye formed thereon.
  • the locating disk is assembled to a bottom of the cylindrical needle bar case to move synchronously with the latter, and is provided closely around the rotation axis with a plurality of circumferentially spaced thread guide holes.
  • the thread take-up lever is located above the cylindrical needle bar case and close to the rotation axis, and includes a sway control end and a thread take-up end brought by the sway control end to move upward and downward.
  • the thread take-up end is provided with a plurality of thread holes, through each of which a thread is extended; and the thread take-up end in moving is always located in a space that is upward extended from a cylindrical space enclosed in the cylindrical needle bar case.
  • Each of the thread holes on the thread take-up lever together with a corresponding one of the thread guide holes on the locating disk and a corresponding one of the eyes on the needles define a course along which a thread is routed.
  • Each of the thread guide holes on the locating disk may be located on a line extended between the rotation axis and the axis of a corresponding needle bar, such that sections of the threads extended between the thread guide holes and the eyes may be radially outward arrayed from top to bottom, and the threads having been routed through the thread courses are substantially equally spaced.
  • the thread routing mechanism for sewing machine may further include a thread pinching unit, which includes a pinching member located beneath the locating disk to correspondingly cover the thread guide holes and including a thread pinching surface and an engaging section downward extended from the thread pinching surface.
  • the thread pinching surface covers the thread guide holes, and is provided on an outer edge thereof with a notch, which is aligned with one of the thread guide holes.
  • the thread pinching unit may further include a shaft member connected to a lower side of the pinching member, a nut tightened to a lower end of the shaft member, and a spring fitted around the shaft member with two ends pressed against the nut and the pinching member, so that the pinching member is normally pushed upward by the spring to tightly contact with the locating disk and pinch the threads in the thread guide holes.
  • the thread pinching unit may further include a driving lever, which has an end engaged with the engaging section of the pinching member for moving the pinching member against the spring to separate from the locating disk and accordingly, release the threads for the same to freely move through the thread guide holes.
  • the present invention is characterized in that the thread holes on the thread take-up lever, the thread guide holes on the locating disk, and the eyes on the needles together form a thread routing structure defining a plurality of radially arrayed thread courses, so that sections of the threads routed through the thread courses are substantially equal in length even when the needle bars on the sewing machine are changed from one to another. Further, the thread pinching unit cooperates with other parts to form means for pinching and releasing the threads in sewing operation and needle bar changing operation, respectively.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 show a thread routing mechanism for sewing machine according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention is installed on a needle bar changing mechanism 12 located at a sewing head 11 of a sewing machine 10.
  • the thread routing mechanism includes a cylindrical needle bar case 20, a locating disk 21 and a thread take-up lever 22, on which holes for threads to extend through are provided. Corresponding thread extending holes on the cylindrical needle bar case 20, the locating disk 21 and the thread take-up lever 22 together define a course along which a thread 23 is routed.
  • the cylindrical needle bar case 20 includes a cylindrical wall 201, a center of which defines a rotation axis 202.
  • a plurality of axially extended needle bar holes 203 is spaced on the wall 201 of the cylindrical needle bar case 20 with the rotation axis 202 being equally distant from all needle bar holes 203.
  • Each of the needle bar holes 203 has a needle bar 204 received therein, and the needle bars 204 respectively carry a needle 205 having an eye 206 formed thereon.
  • the locating disk 21 is assembled to a bottom of the cylindrical needle bar case 20 to move synchronously with the latter.
  • the locating disk 21 is provided closely around the rotation axis 202 with a plurality of circumferentially spaced thread guide holes 211, and along an outer periphery thereof with a plurality of spaced needle bar holes 212 for the needle bars 204 to extend therethrough.
  • Each of the thread guide holes 211 on the locating disk 21 is located on a line extended between the rotation axis 202 and a central axis of a corresponding needle bar 204 received in the needle bar hole 212.
  • the thread take-up lever 22 is movably mounted to a front end of the sewing head 11 of the sewing machine 10 to locate above the cylindrical needle bar case 20.
  • the thread take-up lever 22 includes a sway control end 221 and a thread take-up end 222.
  • the sway control end 221 is pivotally turnable to move the thread take-up end 222 upward and downward.
  • the movable thread take-up end 222 is always located in a space 207, which is upward extended from a cylindrical space enclosed in the cylindrical wall 201 of the cylindrical needle bar case 20, and is located close to the rotation axis 202 of the cylindrical needle bar case 20.
