[Prior Art] Conventionally, a sewing machine described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 1983-41580 has been proposed as a sewing machine capable of automatic thread adjustment in which the upper thread is freely drawn out from the thread supply source in conjunction with the cloth feeding movement. There is. This sewing machine is equipped with a thread tension device that has an electromagnet, and during periods when the upper thread intermittently passes through the thread tension device, the electromagnet is deactivated to eliminate thread tension on the upper thread, and during other periods, the electromagnet is turned off. It is activated to apply thread tension to the upper thread.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in conventional sewing machines, the thread tension of the needle thread is completely eliminated during the period when the needle thread passes through the thread tension device intermittently. There is a problem in that the upper thread drawn out from the supply source is subjected to a performance force, and the upper thread is drawn out from the thread supply source in an amount exceeding the cloth feed momentum.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made to solve the conventional problems, and its purpose is to reduce the tension of the bobbin thread while the needle thread is being pulled out from the thread supply source with the heavy feed motion. A weaker thread tension is applied to the upper thread to the extent that it does not prevent the needle thread from being pulled out due to the heavy feed movement, thereby preventing the upper thread from exerting force due to the heavy feed movement and allowing the needle thread that exceeds the weight of the heavy feed movement to be pulled out from the thread supply source. The purpose of this invention is to provide a sewing machine that can automatically adjust the thread tension so that the thread tension does not occur.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention supplies the needle thread, which is freely drawn out from the thread supply source, at a predetermined timing as the double feed movement of the double feed member occurs. In a sewing machine capable of automatic thread tension that automatically controls the amount of thread fed out of the upper thread, the needle thread supply stop means is operated to stop the needle thread supply between the thread supply source and the thread supply stop means. A thread tension means is provided in the path and applies a thread tension that is weaker than the thread tension of the lower thread to the upper thread that is pulled out with the double feed movement.

The thread take-up 48 is held at the uppermost position from when the main shaft 28 rotates approximately 40 degrees after the start of cloth feeding until the eye of the sewing needle 12 reaches the upper surface of the throat plate 22. Therefore, the thread take-up 48 is held at the uppermost position during the period when cloth feeding is substantially carried out, except at the initial stage of cloth feeding. However, the swing lever 36 may be configured so that the thread take-up lever 48 is located at the uppermost position from the start of cloth feeding. In any case, the structure of the swing lever 36 in this embodiment is relatively simple and operates smoothly and quietly. Therefore, while the thread take-up 48 is at the uppermost position, the length of the needle thread 14 extending from the thread spool 16 to the throat plate 22 via the thread holding portion 48a of the thread take-up 48 is always constant.

Cloth feeding and needle swinging are completed with the upper thread 14 unrestricted, and by the time the sewing needle 12 reaches the throat plate 22, the upper thread 14 is restrained again. In this state, the sewing operation is performed and an upper thread loop is formed on the lower thread bobbin side. Therefore, the required amount of needle thread 14 consumed for cloth feeding and needle swinging is reliably supplied, and since the needle thread 14 is restrained when forming the needle thread loop, unnecessary needle thread 14 is not supplied.

As shown in curve MG in FIG. 5, due to the restraining characteristics determined by the elliptical shape of the cam groove 72 of the rotating cam 7O, in the case of a thin needle thread 14, it is released at point F1 and at point C7.
In contrast, in the case of the thick needle thread 14, it is released at point F2, which is later than point F2, and is restricted at point C.
It is constrained at point C2, which is earlier than point C2. Therefore, when the needle thread 14 is thin, the needle thread 14 is tightened with a suitable weak tension, and when the needle thread 14 is thick, the needle thread 14 is tightened with a suitably strong tension.

Both the operating arm 82 and the swinging lever 36 are connected to the sleeve 8.
0, and are driven to swing through the balance crank 38 in synchronization with the rotation of the main shaft 28. However, while the balance 48 is at the uppermost position as shown by the solid line in FIG.
2 are first and second guide grooves 888 and 8 as shown by dotted lines.
It is located behind the needle thread 14 that passes through the tip of the thread 8b, and is activated when the swing lever 36 swings around the secondary shaft 34 when the thread take-up 48 descends to the lowest position as shown by the imaginary line. The arm 82 also swings forward about the secondary shaft 34 as shown by the imaginary line, and the thread catcher 8 at the tip of the operating arm 82
2a moves forward so as to intersect the needle thread 14 extending between the front ends of the first and second guide grooves 88a and 88b. At this time, the needle thread 14 is let out a predetermined distance forward by the thread catching portion 82a of the operating arm 82. During this unwinding, the upper thread 14 is restrained by the thread path regulating plate 56 and the movable ring 64, so that a predetermined amount of upper thread is reliably let out from the thread spool 16.

In this way, while the thread take-up lever 48 is at the lowest position, the upper thread 14 is let out by the actuating arm 82 of the thread let-out mechanism 78, and the thread path regulating plate 56 is bent from the thread let-out mechanism 78 via the britension device 52. The needle thread 14 that reaches the end is in a relaxed state. In this state where the needle thread 14 is loosened, the thread take-up 48 is raised as described above to tighten the needle thread 14, and when the thread passage control device 54 releases the restraint, the feed dog tightens the needle thread 14. Due to the feeding operation and needle swinging operation, the necessary amount of upper thread 14 passes through the thread passage control device 54 and reaches the thread take-up 4.

Note that cloth feeding is performed even before the upper thread 14 is released, but the amount of the upper thread 14 consumed by this cloth feeding is replenished by the amount of elastic stretch of the upper thread 14, and when the upper thread 14 is released from the restraint. The upper thread 14 is supplied while the amount of elongation is resolved.

In this way, the timing of binding and releasing the upper thread 14 is automatically controlled according to the thickness of the upper thread 14, and the required amount of upper thread 14 determined by the cloth feed amount and needle pick-up amount is sequentially and reliably replenished. Therefore, the thread tension is optimal depending on the thickness of the upper thread 14.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, the present invention has the advantage that while the upper thread is being pulled out from the thread supply source with the cloth feeding movement, the thread tension is weaker than that of the lower thread, and the thread tension of the upper thread due to the cloth feeding movement is Since thread tension is applied to the upper thread to the extent that it does not prevent the thread from being pulled out, it is possible to prevent the upper thread from being pulled out from the thread supply source in excess of the cloth feeding movement due to the inertial force of the upper thread pulling out following the cloth feeding movement. , it is possible to always form stable and beautiful seams.
