くはなかった。2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a sewing machine user or the sewing machine itself senses sewing conditions such as cloth thickness, thread thickness, and sewing speed, and adjusts or controls the upper thread tension and the upper thread supply amount. The thread tension was kept in a proper state. However, by adjusting or controlling only the upper thread tension and the upper thread supply amount to optimize the thread tension, it is not always possible to obtain a sufficient thread tension, and this tendency is particularly strong for thin work cloth. . Therefore, as described in JP-B-63-6033, there is a sewing machine that optimizes the thread tension by adjusting the lower thread condition, and the sewing machine user adjusts the strength of the lower thread tension from the outside of the machine frame. The thread tension is matched with the needle thread tension to obtain a proper thread tension. In such a sewing machine that holds the lower thread, the resistance due to the friction between the lower thread and the member that holds the lower thread is only a pressing force, and is not so strong that the lower thread cannot be pulled out.

能になるようには拘束されていなかった。Further, as a sewing machine for controlling the lower thread, Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-3519 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-270091.
There is a sewing machine which attempts to obtain an appropriate thread tension by controlling the amount of bobbin thread dragging performed each time a seam is formed, as described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. H11-242242. In such a sewing machine that controls the amount of bobbin threading, some bobbin threads are not constrained so that the bobbin thread cannot be pulled out.

い。However, in the conventional sewing machine as described above, Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-603.
In the sewing machines described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 3 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-3519, and Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 63-270091, the lower thread is controlled, but the lower thread can be pulled out. Therefore, since the thread tension is finally determined by the balance between the tension of the upper thread and the tension of the lower thread, the lower thread will be sewn to the lower thread due to instability of the thread tension at each seam or an unexpected situation on the sewing machine body or the upper thread side. If a large pull-out force is applied,
The bobbin thread is pulled out more than necessary and the thread tension tends to collapse.

い効果的な糸制御方法ではないという問題点がある。Further, in the sewing machine disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-265189, since the information on the amount of pulling out the upper thread is taken into consideration, it can be realized only by the sewing machine having the calculation processing capability, and the upper thread detection and arithmetic processing are performed. The sewing machine becomes expensive due to the machine and the drive device, the timing difference of the bobbin thread control due to the difference between the upper thread detection position and the actual stitch position, the calculation time, and the time delay until the operation of the drive device start It occurs even during one stitch. Further, when the sewing machine rotates at a high speed, the bobbin is restrained by the bobbin thread, so that the bobbin is unreeled and the bobbin spins unintentionally, which is not an effective thread control method.

に挟持拘束する接近位置となる。As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, when the lower shaft 10 rotates when the sewing machine is driven, the cam 16 fixed to the lower shaft 10 rotates together with it. Lower shaft 10 at this time
Always makes one revolution per stitch formation. Therefore, since the cam 16 also makes one rotation, this mechanism completes one cycle of operation for one stitch. Since the cam follower portion 18b is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cam 16, the lower thread restraining body 18 swings in accordance with the unevenness of the outer periphery of the cam 16. Then, the bobbin thread gripping portion 18a moves up and down, and the upper surface portion 2 of the inner hook 26
A change in the relative positional relationship occurs with 6a. Figure 2
In this case, since the cam follower portion 18b is in contact with the concave portion of the outer peripheral surface of the cam 16, the lower thread gripping portion 18a is the upper hook portion 2 of the inner hook.
The bobbin thread 24 comes into contact with 6a and comes close to the bobbin 30 so that it cannot be pulled out from the bobbin 30.

The lower thread 24 is sandwiched between the lower thread 6a and the lower thread 6a.
8a is pressed downward by the spring 28, that is, against the upper surface 26a of the inner hook, and this force restrains the lower thread 24 from being supplied to the work cloth. In FIG. 4, since the cam follower portion 18b is in contact with the convex portion of the outer peripheral surface of the cam 16, a gap is generated between the lower thread gripping portion 18a and the inner hook upper surface portion 26a, and the lower position is separated from the lower thread. Become. At this time,
Since the force for restraining the lower thread 24 is released, the lower thread 24 can be freely pulled out from the bobbin 30.

及び上糸のたるみが解消される。At the upper shaft rotation angle of 0 °, the needle bar gradually descends from the uppermost point. At the same time, the balance is ascending, tightening the upper thread, and the feed dog 23 starts to feed the work cloth. At this time, the lower thread grip portion 18a is in the lowered position, that is, the lower thread 24a.
The bobbin thread 24 is not pulled out from the bobbin 30 because the bobbin thread 24 is in an approaching position where it is clamped and restrained. As a result, the bobbin thread tightening is performed at the same time as the upper thread tightening, a seam is formed, and the bobbin thread 24
Also, the slack of the upper thread is eliminated.

到達している。When the thread tightening is completed, the cam follower portion 18b of the lower thread restraining member 18 comes into contact with the concave portion of the outer peripheral surface of the cam 16 as the lower shaft 10 rotates, and the lower thread gripping portion 18a moves up (point V). , It becomes the isolation position where the lower thread 24 is released. Then, the lower thread 24 is released and is pulled out from the bobbin 30 by a required amount by cloth feeding. Further, when the upper shaft 6 rotates and the cloth feeding ends, the lower shaft 10 rotates and the cam follower portion 18b of the lower thread restraining body 18 comes into contact with the convex portion of the outer peripheral surface of the cam 16 so that the lower thread gripping portion 18a It descends again (point W), and comes to the approach position where the lower thread 24 is clamped and restrained. The bobbin thread 24 is gripped, and threads unnecessary for sewing are not pulled out from the bobbin 30. This prevents excessive bobbin thread 24 from being supplied and disturbing the seam. At this time, the needle has reached the work cloth.

終了する。When the upper shaft 6 further rotates, the needle bar exceeds the lowest point and the upper thread forms a thread loop, which is caught by the outer hook 14 and passes through the inner hook 26 by the thread loop of the upper thread. However, if the lower thread gripping portion 18a remains in the lowered position at this time, the upper thread thread loop cannot pass through the inner hook 26. Therefore,
Only when the thread loop of the upper thread passes through the inner hook 26, the cam follower portion 18b of the lower thread restraining body 18 is temporarily brought into contact with the convex portion of the outer peripheral surface of the cam 16 to raise the lower thread gripping portion 18a ( (X point), the upper thread and the lower thread 24 are crossed. When the upper thread has passed through the inner hook 26, the cam follower portion 18b of the lower thread restraining body 18 is again brought into contact with the concave portion of the outer peripheral surface of the cam 16, and the lower thread gripping portion 18a is returned to the lowered position (Y
Point), the lower thread 24 is again in the restrained state. Further, the upper shaft 6 rotates to complete one cycle of stitch formation by one rotation of the sewing machine.

下糸供給量を制御することができる。In the above-described bobbin thread controllable sewing machine, the bobbin thread 24 is not held in tension by tension given by unstable and widely varying frictional resistance, but a more reliable thread that holds the bobbin thread 24 securely. Since the quantity is controlled, a stable thread tension can be obtained. In addition, an intermediate inclusion (actuator that operates according to detection signals, etc.) is used to control the yarn amount.
Since the bobbin thread 24 is directly restrained and released without going through, it is possible to quickly control the bobbin thread supply amount.

形成される。The bobbin thread 24 is also used for feeding the fabric and forming stitches.
When it is necessary to pull out the thread, the thread is smoothly supplied with a very small force, so that the work cloth is not contracted without applying an excessive force, and a clean seam can be obtained even with a thin work cloth. On the other hand, even when an unexpected situation occurs on the upper thread side or when a large tension is applied when the lower thread 24 is unnecessary due to other factors, the lower thread 24 is not unnecessarily pulled out from the bobbin 30 and a seam trouble occurs. (Bottom thread is not entangled or caught). Even at the time of thread tightening, which is the most important step in forming seams, after the required thread amount is secured during cloth feeding in advance, the bobbin thread 24 is prohibited from being pulled out and then the upper thread is tightened. It is surely formed.

からでも可能である。It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, in the present embodiment, the bobbin thread engaging body is composed of the bobbin thread restraining body 18b and the inner hook 26, but instead of these, any structure that can hold the lower thread 24 may be used. For example, the outer hook 14, the bobbin 30, the needle plate. 22, the hook stopper, the feed dog 23, the thread cutting member, and a part of the machine frame 2 of the sewing machine. In this embodiment, the cam 16 is attached to the lower shaft 10 to control the lower thread engaging body.
Instead of this, any method may be used as long as it can control the operation of the lower thread engaging body, and a dedicated actuator such as a solenoid or a motor may be connected and installed by a link synchronized with the rotation of the shuttle. Further, the sewing machine rotation information is not obtained from the lower shaft 10, but the upper shaft 6, the vertical axis, the shuttle shaft, the electric motor 40, the drive belt 8

制御ができるので、安定した糸調子が得られる。As is apparent from the above description, in the bobbin thread controllable sewing machine according to claim 1 of the present invention, the bobbin thread is no longer moved due to an unexpected situation on the upper thread side or other factors. Even if a large tension is applied when it is not necessary, the lower thread is held and restrained, so that the lower thread is not unnecessarily pulled out and a seam trouble is prevented. Further, since the lower thread engaging body is driven by the stitch forming means via the engaging body driving means, it is possible to operate an arithmetic unit or an actuator based on information corresponding to the cloth thickness, the sewing pattern, or the like. Since it is not necessary to provide the sewing machine, the cost of the sewing machine can be reduced. Then, the bobbin thread is not controlled by tension caused by unstable and widely varying frictional resistance, but rather, the bobbin thread is clamped and restrained so that the bobbin thread can be reliably controlled, so that a stable thread tension can be obtained. To be

る。Further, in the sewing machine capable of controlling the bobbin thread according to claim 3, after the necessary thread amount is secured by feeding the work cloth, the bobbin thread is restrained at the time of thread tightening, which is the most important in forming a seam. Since the tension of the bobbin thread and the tension of the upper thread are balanced, a tight seam is reliably formed. In addition, when it is necessary to pull out the bobbin thread when sending the work cloth, the thread can be drawn out smoothly with a very small force, so the work cloth does not shrink without being forced, and in particular,
A clean seam can be obtained even with a thin work cloth.
