Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to automatically balance the stitch and tense the thread in any movement of feeding by providing a timing deciding device by which work- feeding is partially done while a needle thread is released after an output from a phase-detecting device for an arm shaft and a stitch-pattern data from a storing device are received, and the larger the feeding movement of work cloth is, the earlier the starting timing of the feeding movement of the work is made. CONSTITUTION:A timing-deciding device is operated by a signal from a phase-detecting device and a stitch-pattern data from a storing device, and work cloth feeding is partially done while a needle thread is released by a pair of contact members. The starting timing of the feeding movement of the work cloth is also so decided that the larger the feeding movement of the work is, the earlier the starting time of the work cloth feeding is made. A commanding device commands the start of the feeding movement to a feed-controlling device on the basis of its starting timing. The feed- controlling device, thereby, drives a stepping motor for feeding on the basis of the stitch-pattern data from the storing device. As a result of it, the needle thread is fully tightened while restricted and operated together with the feeding movement while released, and is fed to a thread take-up lever from a thread-spooling piece, which is necessary for forming the next stitch.

Furthermore, in order to enable automatic thread tension of the upper thread, the applicant of the present application has disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-105790,
A pair of engaging bodies that restrain and release the upper thread from the thread spool to the thread holding part of the thread take-up at a predetermined timing (see Fig. 11) in synchronization with the rotation of the upper shaft, and their approach and separation. We have proposed a sewing machine that is equipped with a thread passage control device that controls thread passage. The forward and backward movement mechanism and vertical movement mechanism of the feed dog of this sewing machine are driven by the sewing machine motor via the upper shaft.
Regardless of the amount of feed, the cloth feed operation is always upward, from a phase near the 0 degree rotation phase of the upper shaft when the sewing needle reaches the uppermost position, to a phase approximately in the middle during the release period of the upper thread. Executed in synchronization with the axis.

In order to realize a sewing machine that is capable of automatic thread tension of the upper thread and that can sew a large number of patterns, a cloth feeding device of the sewing machine,
When a pair of engaging bodies and a thread passage control device are combined, the vertical movement of the thread take-up and sewing needle, the timing of restraining and releasing the needle thread, and the timing of starting fabric feeding are determined by the rotation of the upper shaft at any fabric feeding amount. They are executed at predetermined rotational phases in synchronization with each other.

Therefore, when the feed distance of the work cloth is large (for example, 4 m or more), part of the cloth feed operation is performed during the upper thread release period, so the upper thread is fed while being restrained by the engaging body. It is sufficiently tightened in conjunction with the movement and the lifting movement of the thread take-up, and after the upper thread is released by the engaging body, the thread necessary for forming the next stitch is let out from the thread spool, so that the thread tension is improved. On the other hand, when the feed amount is small, the feeding operation ends with the upper thread being restrained, so there is a problem in that the upper thread is tightened too much and the quality of the stitches is extremely degraded.

Furthermore, even when the rotational speed of the upper shaft is medium speed or lower, there is a problem in that the quality of the stitches deteriorates at any feed amount, as described above.

As explained above, the larger the feed amount and the rotational speed of the sewing machine main shaft 28, the earlier the cloth feeding start timing becomes.
pm), as shown in FIG. 7, the larger the feed amount, the earlier the cloth feed starts. Furthermore, to explain the case where the feed amount is constant as shown in FIG. 10, the cloth feed start timing becomes earlier as the sewing speed increases. That is, in the first half of any cloth feeding operation, the upper thread 14 is restrained by the thread path regulating plate 56 and the movable ring 64, so that the upper thread 14 is interlocked with the feeding operation by the feed dog 23 and the lifting operation of the thread take-up lever 48. Since the upper thread 14 is sufficiently tightened and the second half of the cloth feeding operation is executed during the release period in which the upper thread 14 is no longer restrained,
The upper thread 14 is fed from the thread spool to the thread take-up 48 in an amount necessary for forming the next stitch in conjunction with the feeding operation. Moreover, sewing needle 12
By the time the thread reaches the throat plate 22, the upper thread 14 is restrained again, and the sewing operation is performed with the upper thread 14 restrained.

従って、何れの送り量及び縫製速度においても安定した

(1) A needle bar that is equipped with a sewing needle and is reciprocated up and down by the sewing machine motor via an upper shaft, a thread take-up that is synchronized with the needle bar and driven back and forth by the sewing machine motor, and a sewing needle that flows from the thread supply source through the thread take-up. It is installed upstream of the thread take-up in the thread path leading to the thread take-up.
a pair of engaging bodies that are movable relative to each other between an approach position where the needle thread is restrained and a separated position where the upper thread is not restrained; and a pair of engaging bodies that are operatively connected to the upper shaft and that position the engaging bodies in the approached position and the separated position, respectively. a thread passage regulating means that is driven at the timing of , a feed mechanism that transports the work cloth using a feed dog in approximately synchronization with the needle bar, a feeding stepping motor that drives the feed mechanism, and In the sewing machine, the sewing machine is provided with a storage means storing stitch pattern data related to each stitch pattern, and a feed control means for controlling the feeding stepping motor based on the stitch pattern data from the storage means, the rotation phase of the upper shaft being controlled. A part of the work cloth transfer is executed during the needle thread release period by both engaging bodies in response to the phase detection means for detecting, and the output from the phase detection means and the stitch pattern data from the storage means. a timing determining means for determining the start timing of the work cloth transfer operation so that the larger the feed amount is, the earlier the start timing of the work cloth transfer operation; and a feed control means for starting the transfer of the work cloth at the start timing determined by the timing determining means.
