Definitions
- the invention relates to a sewing or embroidery machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the upper thread also needle thread is called from one on or next to the sewing machine arranged coil supplied, the size of which is essentially is freely selectable.
- the lower thread is on a bobbin wrapped, which in the interior of the rotatably and drivable gripper of the sewing machine is inserted and is freely rotatable there. By the diameter of the The gripper consequently becomes the maximum size of the one in it lying bobbin determined.
- the spooled The bobbin thread quantity or the bobbin thread supply is in each Fall in relation to the upper thread supply on the outside arranged coil many times smaller and is also the bobbin is not visible from the outside when sewing, since they are inside the gripper housing and the latter located inside the sewing machine. This is why the monitoring of the current bobbin thread supply, the Bobbin thread withdrawal and thread end during embroidery or Sewing difficult. To make matters worse, often when sewing smaller pieces of material through the Operator a partially already filled Bobbin is covered with another thread. This other thread is already on the spool existing not connected. After consuming this the outer thread supply can no longer be seamed, although e.g. with known sensors on the coil core for example, 50% or 70% degree of filling determined becomes.
- Measuring devices are already from the prior art known to attempt the end and / or the Remaining amount of the bobbin thread on the bobbin and stop the sewing machine before that End of the lower thread from the upper thread through the sewing material is pulled out and before stitches are sewn on the underside of the fabric therefore not from a bobbin thread being held.
- WO 82/04447 describes a device for recognizing the End of thread on a bobbin of a sewing machine known.
- a light source sends a beam of light in the essentially radially from the outside through an opening in the Gripper housing in the direction of the axis of rotation of the gripper and the bobbin inserted in it.
- Tangential offset from the light source are two Light receiver arranged and also essentially on the axis of rotation of the hook and the bobbin directed and lie above a suitable in the gripper housing. attached opening.
- the object of the present invention is to create a Device with which the embroidery or sewing machine can be stopped as soon as the end of the lower thread is one predeterminable minimum length.
- the household sewing machine 1 shown in Figure 1 comprises a base plate 3, a lower or free arm 5, one Upper arm 7 with needle bar 9 and the machine housing 11, in which the drive elements are housed.
- a sideways arranged cover 13 at the front end of the forearm 5 is partially cut open to the position of the gripper 15 make visible.
- the hook 15 there is a lower thread bobbin, briefly a bobbin 17 with a Variety of breakthroughs 19 or non-reflective Markings in at least the front flange 21 used and visible ( Figures 2 and 3).
- the remaining Parts of the commercially available gripper 15 as that Gripper body 23, the drive shaft 25 and that on the Drive shaft 25 seated pinion 27 and that Thread catcher 29 with the tip 31 are not closer described.
- the hollow coil mandrel is also visible in this figure or core 33, at the ends of the two flanges 21 and 22 are attached.
- the openings 19 are formed. They lay concentric to the coil axis A.
- Alternatively to The example shown can also be one or two concentrically arranged rows of holes in both flanges 21 and 22 be present.
- the size, shape and number of Breakthroughs 19 is for the functionality of Invention without influence and therefore freely selectable.
- the bobbin 17 can be made of metal or plastic be made. It is preferably related to of the present invention made of metal and has a polished at least on the front flange 21 Surface on which is an optimal reflection of one on it directional focused beam of light.
- Axially spaced from surface 39 of the front flange 21 of the coil 17 is a light source 35 for visible or invisible light attached, for example one LED with which a light beam, preferably a pulsed one Beam of light 37 onto the front surface 39 of the flange 21 directed and reflected by this.
- the Reflection angle of a light beam 41 'on a plane 37 is constant as long as this on the axis of rotation of the Lower thread bobbin 17 perpendicular surface area of the front flange 21 strikes ( Figure 5A).
- the Light source 35 a conical light beam 37 in acute angle to the surface 39 of the flange 21. in the The focus according to FIGS. 5A-5D is F the rays 37 in front of the surface 39.
- the outermost Light beam 37 ' consequently strikes the point 38' Surface 39 and is from there as a reflection beam 41 ' in the reception area of a first light receiver 43 " reflected.
- Light-sensitive elements such as e.g. Photo transistors can be used.
- the second limiting light beam 37 " is in place 38 "reflected on the surface 39 and as Reflection beam 41 "in the area of the second Light receiver 43 'reflected. Shown in the Figures are only the outermost rays of the beam. As long as the light rays 37 consequently on the surface 39, formed by the webs 40 fall between two openings 19, by both Light receivers 43 ', 43 "receive light simultaneously the further rotation of the coil 21 hits the bundle limiting light beam 37 "no longer on the surface 39, but penetrates the opening 19 and is therefore, if there is a thread supply behind the Breakthroughs are present, reflected on this. The However, reflection is only minimal, so that reflected light beam 41 "is very weak and as such is recognized by the light receiver 43 '.
- the delimiting light beam 37 ' still falls on the Surface 39 and is used as a strong reflection beam 41 ' reflects what is received by the receiving part 43 "accordingly is recognized.
- the sewing machine electronics recognize by the elimination of the strong reflection light in the area of the Light receiver 43 'the direction of rotation of the coil in the direction of the arrow v, in Figures 5, 6 and 7 from left to right right, clockwise in Figure 4.
- By the further Rotation of the spool 17 hits both Limiting light beams 37 'and 37 "in the area of a Breakthrough 19 and are therefore only weak reflects what is caused by the two light receivers 43 'and 43 "is recognized (FIG. 5C).
- the Coil 17 or the coil flange 21 hits the Boundary beam 37 "on the surface 39 of the Opening 19 lying web 40.
- the beam 37 " is completely as a limiting beam 41 "to the light receiver 43 'reflected and recognized by it.
- the one in the Breakthrough 19 falling beam 37 ' is only weak as Beam 41 'is reflected and received by receiver 43 " such recognized.
- the coil flange surface markings e.g. black, have little light reflecting surfaces.
- FIGS. 7A-7D is by a correspondingly trained lens 36 Beams 37 of the light source 35 in parallel running light beams 37 'and 37 "bundled reflected rays 41 'and 41 "fall according to Representation in Figures 7A-7D on the light receiver 43 'and 43 ".
- the evaluation electronics is connected to another sensor that detects the speed n 0 of the main shaft or the drive motor by the detected standstill the bobbin 17 should not be interpreted as a thread break or thread end when the sewing is interrupted.
- This arrangement allows these items without additional Holding devices and thus also at no additional cost the existing parts (cover 13) of the sewing machine 1 attach and when opening the lid access to the Bobbin 17 and to expose these elements.
- the preferably in front of the light source 35 and the light receiver 43 'and 43 "lenses 36 easily removed from fluff.
- the observed direction of rotation of the coil can also be determined whether the coil is properly in the Bobbin case is inserted. From the ratio stitch type, Stitch speed, bobbin rotation speed the bobbin thread supply can also be calculated.
