Detector for a sewing machine

A sewing control device includes in a sewing machine having upper feed function a control device which controls feed of an object to be sewn. A lower feed amount setting motor sets a feed amount of a lower feed dog and an upper feed amount change motor changes a feed amount of an upper feed dog. A feed execution range, in which the feed of the object to be sewn is executed by an appropriate feed amount while the object to be sewn is sandwiched between the lower feed dog and the upper feed dog, and a feed non-execution range, in which the feed of the object to be sewn is not executed in a state in which the feed dogs do not act on the object to be sewn, are present. The feed amount of the upper feed dog can be changed only in the feed non-execution range during sewing.

Provided with a cloth movement detection device and a sewing machine capable of precisely detecting a movement of a cloth. A cloth movement detection device includes: a light detection portion configured to detect a light for detecting a movement of a cloth; a body portion configured to be detachably attached to a presser bar of a sewing machine, the light detection portion being installed in the body portion; and a pressing support portion configured to be detachably attached to the body portion, a cloth pressing portion capable of contacting with the cloth being formed on the pressing support portion, wherein a window portion capable of transmitting the light is provided on a bottom surface of the body portion, and the cloth pressing portion is located lower than the bottom surface of the body portion in a state that the pressing support portion is attached to the body portion.

In a sewing machine, a switching mechanism is coupled to a slide arm of a transmission mechanism included in an upper feed mechanism. When the switching mechanism is operated, the slide arm is switched between a transmission state in which the driving force of a driving cam is transmitted to a feed link mechanism and a non-transmission state in which the driving force of the driving cam is not transmitted to the link mechanism. This allows the switching mechanism to switch the slide armA to the non-transmission state. This allows the operation of the feed link mechanism to be suspended, and allows the upper-lower movement of an upper feed dog to be suspended. Accordingly, this contributes to a reduction in vibration and noise in the sewing machine.
