  • The automatic stitching apparatus of the present invention further includes a thread cutting apparatus 6. After the sewing is completed, the thread needs to be cut. As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, the thread cutting apparatus 6 of the present invention includes: a fixed cutting piece 61 and a movable cutting piece 62.
  • The fixed cutting piece 61 and the movable cutting piece 62 form a pair of scissors. When the movable cutting piece 62 moves and overlaps with the fixed cutting piece 61, the thread is cut.
  • The fixed cutting piece 61 is fixed on a fixed seat 73, the fixed cutting piece 61 remains stationary, the fixed seat 73 can be mounted on the box body of the sewing apparatus 1, and the fixed cutting piece 61 is located below the first sewing needle 3, thereby being convenient for cutting the thread.
  • The movable cutting piece 62 is mounted at the upper end of a bent pull plate 65, the lower end of the bent pull plate 65 is connected to the upper end of a large angle pull plate 69, the lower end of the large angle pull plate 69 is connected to a cylinder 71, and the cylinder 71 extends and retracts to enable the movable cutting piece 62 to move. When air enters the cylinder 71, the thread cutting apparatus 6 is in a closed state (as shown in FIG. 15). When air leaves the cylinder 71, the thread cutting apparatus 6 is in an open state (as shown in FIG. 16). The cylinder 71 is connected to the fixed seat 73 by a support plate 72.
  • Preferably, in order to ensure that the thread cutting apparatus 6 can be quickly opened when air leaves, a tension spring 70 is mounted on the cylinder 71, and the tension spring 70 is connected between the lower end of the large angle pull plate 69 and the cylinder 71. By means of the tension of the tension spring 70, the scissors formed by the fixed cutting piece 61 and the movable cutting piece 62 can be quickly opened after being closed, so as to be prepared for the next thread cutting.
  • Preferably, the thread cutting apparatus 6 of the present invention further includes a bent hook piece 63 and a bent push piece 64. The bent hook piece 63 and the movable cutting piece 62 are attached to the upper end of the bent pull plate 65 and can move together. The tail ends of the bent hook piece 63 and the movable cutting piece 62 are fixed on a hanging seat 68 by a bolt 74, and the hanging seat 68 is fixed on the fixed seat 73. When the cylinder 71 moves, the bent hook piece 63 and the movable cutting piece 62 are driven to move around the bolt 74 together. The front end of the bent hook piece 63 is in the shape of a hook, which can hook the sewing coil 8 in the thread cutting process to prevent the sewing coil 8 from sliding out of the cutting position.
  • The bent push piece 64 is mounted on the outer side of the bent hook piece 63 and is attached to the bent hook piece 63, and the bent push piece 64 and the bent hook piece 63 can move oppositely. The middle section of the bent push piece 64 can also be fixed on the hanging seat 68 by the bolt 74. The tail end of the bent push piece 64 has a forked structure, and the forked structure accommodates the first end of a plectrum 67.
  • The plectrum 67 has an L-shaped structure, and the first end of the plectrum 67 is clamped in the forked structure at the tail end of the bent push piece 64. The second end of the plectrum 67 is clamped between an eccentric tightening ring 66 of the bent pull plate 65 and the upper end of the large angle pull plate 69 (that is, the joint between the large angle pull plate 69 and the bent pull plate 65), and the motion route of the second end of the plectrum 67 is also located between the eccentric tightening ring 66 and the upper end of the large angle pull plate 69.
  • The bent push piece 64 and the bent hook piece 63 move in opposite motion directions, as described in detail below.
  • As shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, before thread cutting, the movable cutting piece 62 and the bent hook piece 63 are opened. When thread cutting is required, the cylinder 71 is propelled to push the lower end of the large angle pull plate 69, the upper end of the large angle pull plate 69 descends, the lower end of the bent pull plate 65 is pulled, the bent pull plate 65 descends, and the movable cutting piece 62 and the bent hook piece 63 are driven to approach the middle. On the other hand, when the bent pull plate 65 descends, the eccentric tightening ring 66 descends, and the second end of the plectrum 67 is pressed down. Correspondingly, the first end of the plectrum 67 pushes the forked structure at the tail end of the bent push piece 64 to swing leftward, and the bent push piece 64 approaches the middle to achieve thread cutting.
  • After the thread cutting is completed, the cylinder 71 is deflated and evacuated outward, the lower end of the large angle pull plate 69 is pulled, the upper end of the large angle pull plate 69 rises, and the upper end raises the second end of the plectrum 67. Correspondingly, the first end of the plectrum 67 pushes the forked structure at the tail end of the bent push piece 64 to swing rightward, and the bent push piece 64 moves outward. At the same time, the upper end of the large angle pull plate 69 rises, the lower end of the bent pull plate 65 is pushed, the bent pull plate 65 rises, and the movable cutting piece 62 and the bent hook piece 63 are pushed to move outward, thereby achieving the opening of the thread cutting apparatus 6. From FIG. 16, it can be seen that the positions of the bent push piece 64 and the bent hook piece 63 may be staggered.
  • The front end of the bent push piece 64 and the front end of the bent hook piece 63 are similar in the shape of a bent hook and both have an inward bent hook (when the front end of the bent push piece 64 and the bent hook piece 63 are opened, the bent hook directions of both are opposite to each other) to play the following roles: before the thread cutting action is completed, the bent push piece 64 pushes the sewing coil, at this time, the movable cutting piece 62 and the bent hook piece 63 are not closed with the fixed cutting piece 61, some space is left, and the bent push piece 64 can push out the sewing coil for a certain length, thereby leaving a safe sewing coil length. In the thread cutting process, the front end of the bent hook piece 63 is in the shape of a hook, which can hook the sewing coil 8 to prevent the sewing coil 8 from sliding out of the cutting position. By the bent push piece 64, after the thread cutting action is completed, the lengths of the sewing coil left at both ends of the opening of the fabric are consistent, and the lengths of the sewing coil left at both ends of the opening of the fabric may be controlled by adjusting the position of the eccentric tightening ring 66 (that is, the route range of the plectrum 67), which may be long or short.
  • The thread cutting apparatus 6 is placed below the sewing point of the sewing apparatus 1 in the illustrated embodiments, and may also be placed above or on both sides. The distance between a thread cutting plane of the thread cutting apparatus 6 or a thread cutting point position and the plate metal needle tip head 211 is preferably 10.1-20 mm, and the distance between the thread cutting plane or the thread cutting point position and a motion intersection point of the first sewing needle 3 and the second sewing needle 4 is preferably 15.1-25 mm. If the distance is too close, there will be mutual interference in mechanical structures. If the distance is too far, the thread cutting apparatus will be unable to cut the thread and lose the thread cutting function.
  • The present invention achieves the function of automatically sewing the opening of a cylindrical fabric such as a sock; after the sewing is completed, the sewing coil can be automatically cut off, and the length dimension of the cut-off coil can be adjusted freely, thereby greatly improving the production efficiency of the fabric; there is no need to perform secondary processing on the fabric to form a finished product, thereby greatly reducing the production cost, and achieving the purpose of automated production; and the sewing speed is high, the sewing is accurate, and the qualification rate of the fabric is greatly improved.
  • The above embodiments are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present invention. This specification uses the phrases "in one embodiment", "in another embodiment", "in further another embodiment", or "in other embodiments", which can all refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present disclosure. General changes and replacements made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
