Abstract

PURPOSE:To make sewing in good tension balancing, which is made controllable, by comparing the actually consumed amount of needle thread with the required amount of needle thread determined previously through calculation, thereupon reading the correction data, correcting the pressing force given by a tension adjuster to the needle thread, and performing thread tightening for stitch forma tion in the next cycle. CONSTITUTION:By reference to a correction data memory means ROM2, a CPU reads the correction data from the difference between the actually consumed amount of needle thread and the required amount of needle thread which was determined through calculation and is stored in a needle thread requisite amount memory means RAM1, accommodates the read data in a temporary memory means RAM2, and corrects the pressing force of a tension adjuster prior to thread tightening for stitch formation in the next cycle. Thereby automatic correction is made so that the tension of the needle thread converges always in good condition, and sewing can be carried out with good tension balancing.

In actual sewing, the upper shaft phase range in which the upper thread is pulled from the thread tension device to the balance side is almost the entire thread tightening phase range in which a stitch is formed at the needle entry point by the sewing machine. It has been confirmed that in the upper axis phase range before that, there is almost no movement of the upper thread between the upper thread supply source and the thread tension regulator.

(3) Calculating Method of Needle Needle Needle Next, a method of calculating the required needle thread will be described. First, the sewing pattern is divided into a sewing pattern group for the purpose of sewing strength such as straight line stitching and a sewing pattern group for decorative purposes such as one-point stitching and letter stitching to join the cloths together. Assuming a cloth, for sewing pattern groups for the purpose of sewing strength, make sure that the upper thread and the lower thread intersect in the vicinity of the center of the cloth and the sewing pattern group for decoration purposes. On the other hand, the upper thread consumption amount is calculated so that the upper thread intersects with the lower thread near the back surface of the cloth.

That is, for the sewing pattern of the sewing pattern group for the purpose of sewing strength, first, the upper thread necessary amount calculation formula is the feed amount 2 for the straight stitch portion and the feed amount 2 for the zigzag stitch portion. This is an expression in which the square root of the sum of the square of the square and the amplitude amount is obtained, and the value of the cloth thickness is added to each of these values.

Similar to the above, the arithmetic expression of the needle thread required amount for the sewing pattern of the sewing pattern group for the purpose of decoration is as follows: first, the feed amount for the straight stitch portion, the square of the feed amount and the amplitude for the zigzag stitch portion. This is an equation in which the square root of the sum of the squares of the quantities is obtained, and a value twice the cloth thickness is added to each of these values.
