- the needle bar driving mechanism is constituted by the screw rod 8 and the moving element 18 screwed to the screw rod 8, and the screw rod 8 is rotated by the motor 16 to move.
- Child 18 Although the example in which the needle bar is moved up and down by the zigzag action has been described, the configuration of the needle bar driving mechanism according to the present invention is not limited to this.
- FIG. 9 shows another configuration example of the needle bar driving mechanism according to the present invention.
- the drive shaft 51 of the rotary drive motor provided on the arm 50 rotates around an axis that rises substantially perpendicularly to the side surface of the arm 50.
- the drive lever 52 is pivotally supported at its rear end so as to be vertically swingable with respect to the drive shaft 51.
- One end of a connecting lever 53 is rotatably supported at the tip of the driving lever 52.
- a movable member 54 is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting lever 53.
- the mover 54 is vertically movably attached to a support rod 55 erected along the vertical direction on the front side (left side in the figure) of the arm 50, and is driven via a connecting lever 53.
- Connected to lever 52 Connected to lever 52.
- a pair of upper and lower engaging projections 56 are formed on the front side of the moving element 54, and the engaging pins 28 of the currently selected needle bar are held by the engaging projections 56. According to this, the drive lever 52 is driven to swing up and down around the drive shaft 51 by rotating the motor in both forward and reverse directions.
- the mover 54 Since the mover 54 is connected to the drive lever 52 via the connection lever 53, the mover 54 reciprocates up and down along the axial direction of the support rod 55 following the swing of the drive lever 52.
- the currently selected needle bar 3 is driven up and down in conjunction with the vertical movement of the movable element 54.
- FIG. 10 shows still another configuration example of the needle bar drive mechanism.
- a rotary shaft 61 of a rotary drive motor disposed above a side surface of an arm 60 rotates around an axis that rises substantially perpendicularly to the side surface.
- 62 is installed.
- a driven pulley 63 rotatably supported on the side surface of the arm 60 is disposed at a predetermined position vertically descending from the driving pulley 62.
- a transmission belt 64 arranged to extend vertically in the arm 60 is wound around the driving pulley 62 and the driven pulley 63.
- a moving element 65 is fixed to the front surface (left side in the figure) of the transmission belt 64.
- the mover 65 is vertically movably attached to a support rod 66 erected along the vertical direction on the front side of the arm 60.
- a pair of engaging projections 67 are provided on the front side of the movable element 65 so as to clamp the engaging pin 28 of the needle bar.
- the movable element 54 fixed on the transmission belt 64 can be reciprocated up and down along the axial direction of the support rod 66 by rotating the motor in both forward and reverse directions. Therefore, even in such a configuration
- the selected needle bar 3 is moved up and down in conjunction with the vertical movement of the movable element 65.
- the needle bar drive mechanism shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 is in a state where the needle bar 3 is located at the retracted position. Also in the configuration shown in Figs.
- the needle bar 3 is moved up and down with the minimum necessary stroke during embroidery, and the drive timing of the needle bar is freely set. It can be changed, and can be evacuated to the evacuation position when performing work such as changing cloth.
- the drive motor exclusively used for driving the needle bar is not limited to a rotary motor, but may be a linear motor.
