Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for the control and stopping of automatic sewing machines, prefe rably but not exclusively of automatic multi-needle embroidering machines.
- the purpose of this invention is to provide a device for the control and stopping of sewing machines, in particular automatic embroidering machines and apt to command stopping of the machines not only as a result of breakage of the needles thread, but also in case of breakage or depletion of the lower crochet or shuttle thread, skipping of stitches or irregular tension applied on the yarn.
- the invention consists of a device for the control and stopping of automatic sewing machines, characterized in that it comprises:
- the thread under control identified as 1 is unwound from a reel S and, after having crossed guide bar 8 and device 10 according to the invention, is led to the sewing zone where it engages, in the fabric, with the other thread 6.
- the arrangement of only one thread is shown, but as it can be seen from Fig. 1, the machine is provided with a plurality of devices 10, each associated with the corresponding thread which unwinds from the different reels.
- the device of the invention illustrated in more detail in Figs. 2 and 3, comprises a housing formed by two halves 11 and 12.
- a shaft 18 crosses the two halves and is free to rotate, if necessary, under the control of friction means.
- Shaft 18 is provided with a pulley 15 located outside the housing and with a disc 20, located inside the housing.
- Half 12 is moreover provided with a sensor 24, connected to an electronic processing circuit 26.
- Disc 20 is provided, peripherally, with a plurality of reference elements 21, the passage of which, through the angular position (corresponding to that of the sensor) can be detected by the sensor.
- the reference elements consist of equally spaced notches or slots and the sensor is an optic coupler apt to generate an electric pulse each time a slot is passing.
- a set of magnets in conjunction with a hall type detector may be used, provided the combination is apt to generate a succession of pulses representing the rotating speed of the disc.
- thread 1 is wound on the pulley, forming one or two complete turns around it, before going on toward the sewing zone.
- the rotating speed of the pulley (hence of the disc) is proportional to the consum ption of the thread.
- Said value in addition to being dependent on the type of stitch applied, is also variable in a given interval which defines two acceptable operating limit conditions.
- An electronic control circuit processes the pulse signals issued by sensor 24 and compares them with preset limits. More specifically, the pulses can be memorized periodically in a counter and successively converted to a direct voltage of proportional value by means of a digital-analogue converter.
- the pulses can be integrated in a preset time interval or processed in other known ways to obtain a voltage (or a current) proportional to the rotating speed of the disc. This voltage is then compared by applying it to the reference inputs polarized with voltages proportional to the preset limit values. A digital type logic will then determine if the value of the detected voltage is compris ed within the limits or not. If not, a signal is generated which, suitably amplified, controls stopping of the machine.
- Control circuit 26 is shown schematically in Fig. 2 as a wired circuit with discrete components and, in this case, the setting of the limit values is effected by adjusting two components (for example, two potentiometers) on two graduated scales.
- the control circuit comprises a programmable microprocessor 27, serving all the control devices 10, the operation of which is much more flexible, as any modification of the limit values can be entered directly from a keyboard or by the same program governing operation of the entire machine.
- disc 20 is keyed directly on shaft 18 of the pulley and reference elements 21 are set at equal distances from each other so that a linear proportionality exists between the speed (or consum ption rate) of the thread and the electric signal to be compared.
- This ration of proportionality can however be varied by providing step-up gears between the pulley and the disc and/or providing a different distribution of the reference elements so as to obtain an improved sensiti vity of the device in the regular operating zone.
- Another alternative is to operate a non linear digital-analogue conversion, again for the purpose of expanding the interval of the values measured during a regular operation. It is understood that these and other changes and modifications,which are within the reach of the average technician of the sector, are included in the protective scope of this invention.
- thc invention is not limited to said embodiment, but also extends to other embodiments contemplating control of thread consumption (controlled thread) to verify the operating regularity of a sewing machine and to control stopping of same when thread consumption deviates from a preset and selectable interval.
