Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and method for manually changing a feed dog for a sewing machine according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Sewing machines each comprise a stitch forming device for creating seams or embroidery patterns in a textile sheet-like article, also referred to below as sewing material.
  • the sewing machine has a machine head and a free arm.
  • the machine head is located at the end of an upper arm. At the other end of the upper arm joins a stand element. Below the upper arm and extending substantially parallel to the upper arm, a so-called free arm is arranged.
  • the free arm is connected at one end to the upright element.
  • the free arm serves as a support for the sewing material.
  • the machine head includes a needle which is moved up and down and periodically comes into contact with the fabric. There is a thread in the needle. The needle pierces the fabric.
  • the thread is connected to a lower thread located below the material, whereby a seam or a pattern is created.
  • the needle is detachably connected to a needle holder disposed at a lower end of a needle bar.
  • the needle bar is moved up and down by a needle bar drive.
  • the machine head further includes a presser foot rod having a conical or tapered lower end for coupling and attachment of various presser feet. Depending on the type of sewing to be performed different presser feet are used.
  • the presser foot is lowered with the presser foot so that the sole of the presser foot rests on the fabric. In this position, the fabric is located between the feed dog and the sole of the presser foot so that the location where a needle stitch is to be performed is precisely defined.
  • the fabric By means of the conveyor, the fabric can be moved into the correct position prior to the execution of the next stitch, so that a continuous seam or a continuous pattern can be produced in this way.
  • the feed dog thus serves to ensure the feed of the material.
  • the fabric can also be moved manually in the plane containing the fabric. This operating mode is used, for example, for stuffing or quilting.
  • a sewing machine can therefore be operated on different operating modes. Therefore, various types of sewing machines are offered today, for example, by the width of the used Transporters differ. However, when purchasing the sewing machine, the buyer determines the width of the carrier during the purchase decision.
  • Devices for adjusting the transport height are eg from the CN 10 48 78 522 A known, which shows a vertically extending conveyor, which is raised or lowered by means of an attached to the shaft located in the free arm eccentric periodically according to the rotational speed of the shaft.
  • a retaining clip for height adjustment of a transporter is from the CN 20 41 74 392 U known.
  • Devices for adjusting the transport feed are eg off CN 10 43 42 853 , from the DE 10 2007 026 651 A1 for an upper feed dog and two different lower feed adjusting drives for a first and second lower feed dog.
  • a transporter drive with adjustable feed direction is from the DE 3 629 514 A1 known.
  • the user must already decide on the purchase of a sewing machine with a corresponding transporter, that is, the transport width and shape of the carrier are determined with the purchase decision forever.
  • This decision is usually made by the user due to the more frequent application or the basic needs to be met.
  • the user chooses a machine with a wider or narrower feed dog.
  • the basic setting is already made by the purchase decision, which limits the user in the variety of applications. Therefore, in some applications, the sewing machine is out of the optimal settings related to fabric transport.
  • the household sewing machine regardless of the purchase decision made (for example, 5.5 mm or 9.0 mm transport width), always achieve at least satisfactory results in all fields of application. For this reason, the mechanical setup, the unchanging basic setting of the sewing machine, must always be seen as a certain compromise, which means that the material transport is maximally optimized for a rough field of application, for example creative sewing or classic sewing applications.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for presetting a sewing machine which enables pre-setting before the user uses the sewing machine for a special sewing process, so the sewing machine is optimized for this particular sewing process.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide the user with the ability to operate the sewing machine in different modes, whereby the user can switch from one mode to another by presetting the sewing machine and the sewing machine is optimally pre-set for the particular mode of operation.
  • a sewing machine comprises a device for manually changing a conveyor, comprising the feed dog and a feed dog holder.
  • the feed dog holder is arranged in a free arm belonging to the sewing machine, wherein the feed dog is receivable in a recess of the feed dog holder.
  • This recess can also be arranged according to an embodiment in an arranged in the feed dog insertion element.
  • the conveyor located in the recess has a support surface which is parallel to the surface of a Nähgutauflage may be arranged, wherein the Nähgutauflage may contain a tap hole plate or may be formed as a tap hole plate.
  • the Nähgutauflage and / or the stitch hole plate may be at least partially formed by the surface of the free arm.
  • the feed dog has a base surface, which is arranged opposite the bearing surface, wherein the base surface rests on a base surface of the recess in the assembled state at least partially.
  • the Nähgutauflage include a tap hole plate.
  • the surface of the free arm may include a tap hole plate or be formed as a tap hole plate.
  • the support surface is received in particular an opening of the tap hole plate.
  • the feed dog can be fastened in the recess by means of a fastening element or an adjusting element, so that the bearing surface can be aligned essentially parallel to the surface of the sewing material support or needle hole plate.
  • the fastener or the adjustment is releasably held in the feed dog holder.
  • the opening can have a greater length than the feed dog or the web of the feed dog guided through the opening, so that the position of the feed dog with respect to the opening can be varied. This means that the position of the feed dog in the feed direction of the sewing material can be changed.
  • a transporter having a larger or smaller longitudinal dimension can be used. Thus, the available for the transport of the sewing material transfer area can be changed. This allows the replacement and replacement of transporters with different longitudinal dimensions.
  • the recess may have at least one side edge, which limits the base area at its edge, wherein the feed dog is at least partially received by the side edge of the recess.
  • the opening may have a greater width than the feed dog so that the width of the feed dog is variable. This allows the replacement and replacement of transporters with different width dimensions.
  • the preceding embodiments can be combined in such a way that both transporters of different length dimensions and transporters of different width dimensions or transporters with different length dimensions and width dimensions can be used. Depending on the selected transporter and the matching tap hole plate is used.
  • the feed dog can be adjustable and / or lockable by the adjusting element in its position relative to the recess.
  • the adjustment may comprise an eccentric, wherein the eccentric is guided on a pin or formed as part of a pin which is held in a recess of the conveyor and is held in a threaded bore in the feed dog holder.
  • the adjusting element may comprise a locking element.
  • the fastening element comprises a screw.
  • the fastener can not protrude beyond the surface of the conveyor. That is, the height of the fastener corresponds maximally to the bearing surface formed by the surface of the conveyor.
  • the fastening element comprises a threaded bolt and / or a nut.
  • the fastening element comprises a guide rail.
  • the fastening element comprises a bolt.
  • the fastening element is at least partially held in the recess of the feed dog holder and / or in an insertion element.
  • Different insertion elements can also be used.
  • the depth of the recess of the insert element can be varied so that transporters of different thicknesses can be used.
  • the thickness is understood to be the dimension of the conveyor in the installed state in the Z direction.
  • the term "length dimension" is understood to mean the maximum dimension of the transportor or the support surface, which can be formed at least by the webs, in the feed direction of the workpiece, ie in the Y direction.
  • the width dimension is understood to be the maximum dimension of the transporter in the X direction.
  • the feed dog can be positioned in the recess by means of a fixing element or a locking element.
  • the fixing element contains, for example, a magnet or a ferromagnetic region.
  • the locking element can be rotatably arranged in the feed dog holder.
  • the different transporters can be exchanged by the user himself in order to be able to select the optimal mechanical setup for the application or the suitable transport width and shape.
  • each transport user must be individually aligned during assembly from the factory in order to be able to ensure optimum material transport.
  • the orientation of the conveyor it is important that the flanks of the conveyor are parallel to the recess in the needle plate or perpendicular to the free arm of the sewing machine to ensure a uniform mass transfer without delay.
  • a device for aligning the individual transporters must be provided in addition to the pure changing device.
  • the screw connection is described independently of the device for aligning the conveyors.
  • the various conveyors are fastened by two screws on the feed dog holder.
  • a disadvantage of this relatively simple embodiment is that the screws fall when changing the individual conveyors in the open sewing machine or otherwise can be lost. Therefore, a further embodiment provides Fuse element before.
  • This securing element is used in particular to ensure that the two screws on the conveyor, so that they are not lost or can fall into the machine. If a screw would fall into the sewing machine or the free arm during the feed dog change, this could lead to considerable damage when starting the machine, for example in the region of the stitch-forming means, for example the thread cutter.
  • a securing element is in this case formed in the simplest embodiment as an element from the group of chains or cords and ensures that the screws can not be lost.
  • This embodiment has the disadvantage that the chain or cord rotates when fastening the screw, and thus wound around the screw, which can lead to complications in the attachment.
  • the screw lock can also be designed as a co-rotating fuse by being attached via a plastic part with a snap connection to the screw head or is rotatably attached to the upper end of the screw shaft.
  • the feed dog holder is a relatively fast moving part that can be driven at speeds of up to 1,500 rpm and accordingly execute 1,500 sequences of movements per minute can, this must be relatively easily formed, which is why this is usually made of aluminum.
  • a further embodiment provides that two threaded bolts are screwed into the feed dog holder during assembly and secured permanently with a securing element which contains, for example, a securing element from the group of Loctite screw locks or Tuflok screws or is fixed.
  • the individual transporters are when changing, not, as described above, fastened by a screw on the feed dog holder, but screwed by a nut at the upper end of a threaded bolt.
  • the material pairing as well as a guidance of the nut relative to the bolt, the risk of a faulty incorrect operation can be significantly reduced.
  • the nuts are also secured to the transfer door to prevent them from being lost or falling into the machine. This backup is realized in the preferred embodiment by a sheet attached to the transport door.
  • the transport gate In order to ensure that the transport gate is aligned as described when changing, it is aligned on the one hand via a fit in the transport door and the associated fastening element.
  • the freedom of movement in Z and X direction is prevented or at least limited.
  • the X direction is defined as the longitudinal direction of the free arm
  • the Y direction corresponds to the transverse direction of the free arm or the feed direction of the sewing material.
  • the Z-direction is normal to the support surface, ie in the direction of the lifting or lowering movement of the sewing needle, directed.
  • the restriction of the freedom of movement in the Y direction or the final orientation of the conveyor takes place by the interaction of the fastening element with an eccentric device, which is in the optimal case in the vicinity of the second fastening means.
  • the alignment is preferably carried out by a lateral recess or on the rear side of the conveyor.
  • the advantage of the lateral recess is that the transporter aligns itself when changing. When aligning to the rear of the transporter, the user must either make sure that this also really rests on the eccentric device or pulled or held by such as a magnet to this.
  • a fixation element for example a magnet, is integrated into the feed dog holder as an assembly aid for the user, by means of which the feed dog is provisionally held in the cutout. This ensures that the transporter can be mounted with both hands and not one is occupied with the holding of the transporter.
  • the attachment and the orientation are implemented separately from each other, by also integrating the dowel pin and the eccentric separately from the fasteners in the feed dog holder.
  • the fit is positioned via a bolt integrated in the feed dog holder and a further hole provided in the feed dog. It would also be conceivable that the eccentric is not positioned on an outer surface or recess of the conveyor, but also via a separate hole in the feed dog holder.
