As used herein, the term "or/and" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
Referring to fig. 1-8, the present invention provides a differential adjustment mechanism, which includes a differential driving member 10, a differential shaft 20 and a differential connecting piece 40, wherein the rotation angle of the differential driving member 10 can be electrically controlled; the differential shaft 20 is connected to the differential drive 10 via a transmission assembly, which converts the rotation of the differential drive 10 into a swinging movement of the differential shaft 20; the differential link 40 has a first end connected to the differential shaft 20, a second end movably disposed on the differential carrier 50 of the sewing machine, and the differential link 40 swings with the differential shaft 20 to adjust a position of the second end of the differential link 40 on the differential carrier 50 and to define a swing amplitude of the differential carrier 50.
The differential driver 10 of the differential adjustment mechanism can drive and control the swing angle of the differential shaft 20, so that the second end of the differential link 40 moves along the differential rack 50 to adjust the swing amplitude of the differential rack 50, and thus the swing amplitude of the differential teeth provided on the differential rack 50. Because the turned angle of differential drive spare 10 can automatically controlled the regulation, and transmission assembly can convert the rotation of differential drive spare 10 into the swing of differential shaft 20, and then drive differential even piece 40 and remove, consequently makes the adjustment of swing range more intelligent, automatic and accurate, has avoided current manual regulation to need manual operation, and the problem that adjustment accuracy is not enough.
Optionally, different transmission assemblies can be adopted for transmission according to different requirements, so that requirements of space occupation, position setting and the like are met.
For example, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, in a differential adjusting mechanism, a transmission assembly at least includes a driving rod 31 and an adjusting rod 32, the driving rod 31 is disposed on an output shaft of the differential driving member 10 and rotates with the output shaft; the adjustment lever 32 is disposed on the differential shaft 20, and the adjustment lever 32 is provided with a first sliding slot extending in a first direction perpendicular to the axis of the differential shaft 20, and the driving rod 31 is engaged with the first sliding slot of the adjustment lever 32 and drives the adjustment lever 32 to swing around the axis of the differential shaft 20.
The driving rod 31 and the adjusting rod 32 form a link structure, when the differential driving member 10 rotates, the driving rod 31 is driven to rotate, and since the driving rod 31 is indirectly connected with the first sliding slot on the adjusting rod 32 and is in sliding fit, the adjusting rod 32 can be synchronously driven to swing when the driving rod 31 rotates, and since the adjusting rod 32 is fixed on the differential shaft 20, the differential shaft 20 swings therewith, so that the differential link 40 connected with the differential shaft 20 moves, so that the second end of the differential link moves on the differential dental articulator 50, thereby adjusting the swing amplitude of the differential dental articulator 50.
The ratio of the swing amplitude of the differential teeth on the differential tooth rack 50 to the swing amplitude of the active teeth on the active tooth rack is the differential ratio, which can control the flatness of the cloth.
Optionally, in order to ensure the transmission accuracy and avoid the seizing, the transmission assembly further includes a sliding pin 33, the sliding pin 33 is provided with a second sliding slot 331 extending along the axis of the differential shaft 20, one end of the driving rod 31 is disposed in the second sliding slot 331 and drives the sliding pin 33 to move along a second direction, the second direction is perpendicular to the axis of the differential shaft 20, and the sliding pin 33 is movably connected in the first sliding slot of the adjusting rod 32 and drives the adjusting rod 32 to swing under the driving of the driving rod 31.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the differential drive 10 is fixed to a motor bracket by a motor mounting screw, and the motor bracket is fixed to the housing by a bracket fixing screw. When performing differential adjustment, an output shaft of the differential driving element 10 (which may be a stepping motor or a servo motor, etc.) rotates to drive the driving rod 31 to rotate, and since one end of the driving rod 31 is movably disposed in the second sliding slot 331 of the sliding pin 33 through a screw, and a third sliding slot extending along the second direction is disposed on the motor bracket, the sliding pin 33 passes through the third sliding slot and is matched with the first sliding slot of the adjusting rod 32, the sliding pin 33 is driven to move along the third sliding slot when the driving rod 31 rotates, so that the adjusting rod 32 drives the differential shaft 20 to swing. The differential link 40 moves along with the differential shaft 20 when it swings, so that the position of the second end thereof on the differential rack 50 is changed, thereby changing the swing angle of the differential rack 50.
After the adjustment is completed, the differential adjustment is fixed by self-locking of the differential drive 10.

In this way, reliable and efficient cloth feeding can be achieved.
During cloth feeding, the main shaft 71 drives the cloth feeding connecting rod 73 eccentrically arranged on the main shaft to swing, and further drives the cloth feeding crank connected to the cloth feeding shaft 72 to swing, so that the motion of the driving tooth frame and the differential tooth frame is realized, and the cloth feeding action is realized. Since the eccentricity of the cloth feeding link 73 with respect to the main shaft 71 is fixed, the swing width of the cloth feeding crank is fixed.
Optionally, in this embodiment, the sewing machine further includes an eccentric 81, the eccentric 81 includes a coaxial segment 811 and an eccentric segment 812, an axis of the eccentric segment 812 is offset from an axis of the coaxial segment 811, the coaxial segment 811 is sleeved on the main shaft 71 and is coaxial with the main shaft 71, and the first end of the cloth feeding connecting rod 73 is hinged with the eccentric segment 812. The eccentric wheel 81 with such a structure can realize the eccentric arrangement of the cloth feeding connecting rod 73 relative to the main shaft 71, and has simple and compact structure.
Optionally, in order to ensure smooth swinging and reduce abrasion, the sewing machine further includes a bearing 82, the bearing 82 is sleeved outside the eccentric section 812, and the first end of the cloth feeding connecting rod 73 is sleeved outside the bearing 82.

In this way, the cloth feeding is realized, and the swing amplitude of the differential tooth rack can be automatically adjusted.
To achieve the automatic control, the sewing machine may include a controller that controls the differential driving part 10 to perform the differential ratio adjustment, which may be divided into two stages of initial positioning and differential ratio setting.
The differential ratio initial positioning process is as follows:
the differential drive 10 seeks to determine a null signal and then controls the differential drive 10 to operate for a number of steps corresponding to the differential tooth position variable based on the derived differential tooth position variable (denoted as cdy _ initpos _ val), and the differential drive 10 remains locked.
The differential ratio setting process is as follows:
the gauge and the differential ratio are determined from the user input or pattern and after decoupling the gauge and the differential ratio, the number of operational steps (denoted cdy _ value) of the differential drive 10 is derived from the current position (denoted cdy _ current _ value) of the differential drive 10.
The number of operational steps of the differential drive 10 is determined according to the following formula:
cdy _ value cdy _ current _ value + l zhenju _ value _ chardong _ value (formula 1). Where l is a constant, related to the mechanical structure.
After driving the differential drive 10 for a corresponding number of operating steps, it is locked to ensure accurate adjustment.
