When the retracting cam 65 is rotated to the non-operating position away from the projecting piece 43a, the pin 70 is engaged with the needle bar drive lever 43 and the lever 43 is moved to the needle using the power of the stepping motor 48. The rear roller 53 is forcibly returned to the cam groove 5a by rotating toward the bar cam 5 side.

次に、上記のように構成された針棒駆動装置の動作について説明する。環縫いミシン1の稼動中は、主軸4の回転に伴い、針棒カム5がニップルカム6と布押えカム7と共に回転し、針棒カム5のカム形状に従い、針棒駆動レバー43が図4の実線位置と鎖線位置との間で揺動する。そして、針棒昇降部材23と共に針棒14が上下動し、鈎針15が針板34下のルーパー(図示略)と協働して加工布に縫目を形成する。   Next, the operation of the needle bar driving device configured as described above will be described. During operation of the chain stitch sewing machine 1, the needle bar cam 5 rotates with the nipple cam 6 and the presser foot cam 7 as the main shaft 4 rotates, and the needle bar drive lever 43 is moved according to the cam shape of the needle bar cam 5. It swings between the solid line position and the chain line position. Then, the needle bar 14 moves up and down together with the needle bar elevating member 23, and the scissors needle 15 cooperates with a looper (not shown) below the needle plate 34 to form a stitch on the work cloth.

加工布の交換等に際し、針棒14を休止させる場合は、図5に示すように、針棒カム5の切欠5bが針棒駆動レバー43の後ローラ53と相対する位置において主軸4が停止する。この状態で、ステッピングモータ48が回転し、ギヤ50,46,64(動力伝達機構)を介してカム軸63が時計回り方向へ回動し、退避カム65が針棒駆動レバー43の突片43aに係合する作用位置に配置される。   When the needle bar 14 is stopped when the work cloth is replaced, the spindle 4 stops at a position where the notch 5b of the needle bar cam 5 faces the rear roller 53 of the needle bar drive lever 43 as shown in FIG. . In this state, the stepping motor 48 rotates, the cam shaft 63 rotates in the clockwise direction via the gears 50, 46, 64 (power transmission mechanism), and the retraction cam 65 moves to the protruding piece 43 a of the needle bar drive lever 43. It is arrange | positioned in the action position engaged with.

これにより、針棒駆動レバー43が縫製時の揺動範囲を超えた大きな角度で反時計回り方向へ揺動し、後ローラ53がカム溝5aから切欠5bを通って針棒カム5の外に退避し、針棒14が上死点位置より上位の休止位置まで上昇する。従って、主軸4と針棒14との連動を絶ち、この環縫いミシン1を休止させた状態で、他の環縫いミシンを稼動させることができる。   As a result, the needle bar drive lever 43 swings counterclockwise at a large angle exceeding the swing range during sewing, and the rear roller 53 passes from the cam groove 5a through the notch 5b to the outside of the needle bar cam 5. The needle bar 14 moves up to a rest position higher than the top dead center position. Therefore, the interlocking of the main shaft 4 and the needle bar 14 is cut off, and another chain stitch sewing machine can be operated in a state where the chain stitch sewing machine 1 is stopped.

針棒14を休止位置から縫製位置に復帰させる場合には、図6に示すように、ステッピングモータ48の逆回転により、カム軸63が反時計回り方向へ回動し、退避カム65が突片43aから離れた非作用位置に配置される。そして、針棒昇降部材23がスプリング29の付勢力で下降し、針棒駆動レバー43が時計回り方向へ揺動する。これにより、後ローラ53が針棒カム5のカム溝5aに戻り、針棒14が縫製位置に復帰する。   When the needle bar 14 is returned from the rest position to the sewing position, as shown in FIG. 6, the cam shaft 63 rotates counterclockwise by the reverse rotation of the stepping motor 48, and the retracting cam 65 It is arranged at a non-acting position away from 43a. Then, the needle bar elevating member 23 is lowered by the urging force of the spring 29, and the needle bar drive lever 43 is swung clockwise. As a result, the rear roller 53 returns to the cam groove 5a of the needle bar cam 5, and the needle bar 14 returns to the sewing position.

一方、針棒14が給油不良やゴミの付着等でつかえた場合には、復帰ピン70がスプリング29を加勢して、針棒駆動レバー43と針棒14を強制的に復帰させる。すなわち、退避カム65が非作用位置へ回動するときに、カラー47がレバー軸41と一体に時計回り方向へ回動し、復帰ピン70が針棒駆動レバー43に係合し、ステッピングモータ48の動力を針棒駆動レバー43に作用させ、後ローラ53を針棒カム5側へ強く付勢する。   On the other hand, when the needle bar 14 is gripped due to poor oil supply or adhering dust, the return pin 70 urges the spring 29 to forcibly return the needle bar drive lever 43 and the needle bar 14. That is, when the retracting cam 65 rotates to the non-operating position, the collar 47 rotates clockwise with the lever shaft 41, the return pin 70 engages with the needle bar driving lever 43, and the stepping motor 48. Is exerted on the needle bar drive lever 43 to urge the rear roller 53 strongly toward the needle bar cam 5 side.

同時に、復帰ピン70はステッピングモータ48の動力を駆動レバー43と昇降部材23を介して針棒14に作用させ、針棒14を下降側へ強く付勢する。これにより、針棒14のつかえが解消され、その針棒14が強制的に下降されるとともに、後ローラ53がカム溝5aに強制的に戻される。従って、環縫いミシン1の再起動時に、針棒カム5と針棒駆動レバー43との衝突を回避し、後ローラ53等の駆動系部品の破損を確実に防止することができる。 At the same time, the return pin 70 causes the power of the stepping motor 48 to act on the needle bar 14 via the drive lever 43 and the elevating member 23, and strongly urges the needle bar 14 downward. As a result, the gripping of the needle bar 14 is eliminated, the needle bar 14 is forcibly lowered, and the rear roller 53 is forcibly returned to the cam groove 5a. Therefore, when the chain stitch sewing machine 1 is restarted, collision between the needle bar cam 5 and the needle bar drive lever 43 can be avoided, and damage to the drive system components such as the rear roller 53 can be surely prevented.

また、この実施例の針棒駆動装置によれば、センサー69がドッグ68と協働してカム軸63の位相を検出しているので、針棒14が強固につかえてカム軸63がロックした場合に、環縫いミシン1のコントローラ(図示略)がセンサー69の出力に基づいてステッピングモータ48の脱調を判断し、主軸4を直ちに停止させるとともに、ヘッド2上の警報ランプ(図示略)を点灯させる。従って、この場合も、復帰ピン70を含む針棒駆動系部品の破損を未然に防止することができる。   Further, according to the needle bar drive device of this embodiment, since the sensor 69 detects the phase of the cam shaft 63 in cooperation with the dog 68, the needle bar 14 is firmly held and the cam shaft 63 is locked. In this case, the controller (not shown) of the chain stitch sewing machine 1 determines the step-out of the stepping motor 48 based on the output of the sensor 69, immediately stops the spindle 4, and turns on an alarm lamp (not shown) on the head 2. Light up. Therefore, also in this case, it is possible to prevent the needle bar drive system parts including the return pin 70 from being damaged.
