Also, the skin support wheel structure 250 includes a skin motion sensor 256 provided at the other side of the support wheel mounting bracket, and a sensor sensitivity adjustment mechanism provided on the skin motion sensor 256. The moving speed of the formed skin 10 driven by the skin support tug 252 can be controlled by the skin motion sensing sensor 256, and can be adapted to the sewing speed by controlling the moving speed of the formed skin 10. Further, the sensitivity of the skin movement-inducing sensor 256 can be adjusted by the sensor sensitivity adjustment mechanism.
Through setting up the supplementary pay-off frock 200 that has structures such as frock base 210, flexible swing arm 240 and epidermis support tow boat 252, the sewing in-process, epidermis support tow boat 252 can support the operation of shaping epidermis 10 to the specific position under the effect that flexible drive cylinder structure 220 to can put down shaping epidermis 10 along certain direction at swing driving motor again when the sewing of commentaries on classics face, because of external resistance or pulling force lead to the quality problems of gauge needle inequality, skew and epidermis damage during avoiding the sewing.
The small-angle sewing device for the automobile interior molding skin comprises the following working processes: before sewing, the formed surface skin 10 is placed behind a narrow sewing table body, the position of the side-leaning foot guide plate 146 is adjusted through the angle adjusting bolt 143 and the foot guide position adjusting chute, so that the foot guide side plate of the side-leaning foot guide plate 146 is positioned in the thread guide characteristic groove 12 of the surface skin 10 to be sewn, meanwhile, the pressing force between the side-leaning foot guide plate 146 and the surface skin is adjusted under the control of the foot guide pressing cylinder 144, the surface skin can automatically and accurately walk along the thread guide characteristic groove 12, the purpose that the thread falls on the required accurate position is achieved, meanwhile, the fixed pressing force can effectively avoid the problems that sewing cannot advance due to the fact that the side-leaning foot guide plate 146 is tightly attached to the surface skin due to uneven thickness of the surface skin at the corner, or the sewing stitches deviate due to losing of guiding effect due to too loose attachment. The side guide foot plate 146 may be located at an adjustable position to the left or right of the sewing needle 124, whereby skin stitches may be located at different relative positions of the suture guide feature slot 12, increasing flexibility in suture design and operation.
When sewing, the surface skin is laid on the sewing needle plate 132 and spread, the sewing presser foot 122 is pressed down and is pressed down by the side foot guide plate 146, the sewing needle 124 descends to pass through the sewing groove and then takes out the bottom thread to do up-and-down reciprocating motion, and the sewing needle plate 132 is bigger, the area of the formed skin 10 which needs to be spread is bigger, so the edge outline of the sewing needle plate 132 is the position of the edge guide foot plate 146 of the sewing machine and the position of the outer sewing presser foot 124, which is a minimum size structure, when entering the small-angle sewing part 11, because of the small structure of the sewing needle plate along with the circular arc, the corner part of the surface skin can be smoothly spread on the sewing needle plate 132, the auxiliary feeding tool 200 can also normally and automatically feed, after the sewing presser foot 122 is pressed down, because the compression joint area is small, the defects of fold pressing, pull breaking and the like cannot be generated on the surface skin, and therefore the sewing with small angle is realized.
Because the molded surface skin 10 of the interior trim is usually large in size and the surface skin is made of soft materials, the surface skin can droop along the gravity center direction from the far end part of sewing in the sewing process, particularly the front end part can not be supported by hands, and the external pressure is generated in the surface skin sewing process due to the drooping gravity, so that the automatic feeding is interfered, the sewing stitches are uneven, and the surface skin can be broken. By using the auxiliary feeding tool 200, before sewing, the telescopic length of the telescopic swing arm 240 is adjusted, and the placement position of the auxiliary feeding tool 200 is determined. In the sewing process, the position of the epidermis is sensed through the epidermis incoming material sensor 254 on the tool, after the epidermis is sensed, the telescopic swing arm 240 runs to a fixed position under the control of the telescopic driving cylinder body and the rotating driving structure 230 and drags the epidermis through the epidermis supporting tug 252 on the telescopic swing arm 240, and in the advancing process of epidermis sewing, the movement speed of the telescopic swing arm 240 is controlled through the epidermis movement sensing sensor 254, so that the epidermis stably advances under the dragging of the epidermis supporting tug 252. When the epidermis is sewed to the face of turning fillet, flexible swing arm 240 descends after moving to the assigned position, and flexible swing arm 240 puts down the epidermis, makes the product face of waiting to sew be on a parallel with sewing needle board 132 all the time, avoids receiving the front end epidermis to block and can't normally advance during the face of turning, through the cooperation of above each device and technology, lets whole sewing process ability automatic stabilization accomplish to satisfy the appearance quality requirement. After sewing, the sewing thread is cut off, and then sewing is finished.
The technical scheme provided by the invention has the beneficial effects that: the small-angle transition sewing on different planes of the molded surface of the automotive interior can be carried out, namely, the small-radius corner structure or the small-radius near-end structure of the molded surface can be adaptively sewn, so that the appearance defects such as folds, damages, marks and the like are not easy to generate, the application range of the sewing thread on the interior is expanded, and a plurality of expected appearance models can be realized on the interior.
