It looks like an industrial sewing machine.
Industrial sewing machines
Most of the industrial sewing machines are general-purpose sewing machines, including lockstitch machines, chain stitch machines, quilting machines, overlock sewing machines and interlock sewing machines. etc., while the lockstitch sewing machine has the highest usage rate.
Sewing machine
A sewing machine uses one or more sewing threads to form one or more stitches on the sewing material to interweave or sew one or more layers of sewing material. Get up machine. The sewing machine can sew cotton, linen, silk, wool, man-made fiber and other fabrics as well as leather, plastic, paper and other products. The stitches produced are neat, beautiful, flat and firm, and the sewing speed is fast and easy to use.

World development
18th century After the industrial revolution in the middle period, the large-scale production of the textile industry promoted the invention and development of sewing machines. In 1790, American woodworker Thomas Sutter first invented the world's first single-thread chain stitch hand-operated sewing machine that drilled holes first, threaded the thread later, and sewed leather shoes. In 1841, French tailor B. Thimonnier (also translated as Barthelemy Thimonnier) invented and manufactured a chain stitch sewing machine with a needle hook. In 1845, Elias Howe (also translated as Elias Howey) also independently invented the sewing machine.

In 1851, American machinist I.M. Singer (also translated as Richard Merritt Singer) invented the lockstitch sewing machine and established the Singer Company. Sewing machines of this period were basically hand-cranked.
In 1859, Singer Company invented the pedal sewing machine. After Thomas and Edison invented the electric motor, in 1889, Singer invented the electric motor-driven sewing machine. This created a new era in the sewing machine industry.
In 1940, the Swiss Erna Company invented a portable household sewing machine with a cylindrical base aluminum alloy cast casing and a built-in electric motor. After 1950, household multifunctional sewing machines were further developed.
Singer Company, founded in 1851, was the first company in the United States to produce sewing machines. At that time, the output of sewing machines was second only to clocks. In 1870, there were 69 companies producing sewing machines in the United States. In 1871, the annual output of sewing machines in the United States was 700,000 units. By 1891, Singer had produced a total of 10 million sewing machines. It can be said that for a long time, Singer Company basically monopolized the production of sewing machines in the world.
After World War II, the sewing machine industry in the former West Germany, Italy and Japan developed rapidly. In addition to companies that still produce high-end traditional household sewing machines, most companies in European countries began to produce industrial sewing machines. During this period, Japanese sewing machine companies, with government funding, began to produce cheap sewing machines and sold them to the United States and around the world.
In the early 1970s, the household sewing machine market in industrially advanced countries had become saturated. Japanese companies, with rising labor costs, had to turn to the production of industrial sewing machines, and South Korea in particular seized the opportunity. Taiwan's opportunities have led to the rise of the sewing machine industry, producing mid- to low-end sewing machines and putting them into the international market.
Development in China
After the world’s sewing machine industry experienced a shift from Europe and the United States to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, it began to fully shift to China in the early 1990s. At the beginning of this century, more than 70% of the world's sewing machine production was in China. However, 70%-90% of the domestic high-end mobile phone market is occupied by Japanese and German companies. As for mid-to-low-end sewing machine products, the world's sewing machine industry has completed its transfer to China, and the industrial transfer has gradually extended to mid-to-high-end products. As competition in the sewing machinery manufacturing industry continues to intensify, mergers, acquisitions, integration and capital operations among large sewing machinery manufacturing companies become increasingly frequent. Excellent domestic sewing machinery manufacturing companies are paying more and more attention to the research of the industry market, especially the industrial development environment and products. In-depth buyer research.
Because of this, a large number of excellent domestic sewing machinery brands have risen rapidly and gradually become leaders in the sewing machinery manufacturing industry!
In 1890, China introduced the first sewing machine from the United States. In 1905, Shanghai first began to manufacture sewing machine spare parts and established some small spare parts production workshops.
In 1928, the Shanghai Xiechang Sewing Machine Factory produced the first 44-13 industrial sewing machine. In the same year, Shanghai Shengmei Sewing Machine Factory also produced the first household sewing machine.
Before 1949, the output of sewing machines in old China was very low, with an annual output of less than 4,000 units. The sewing equipment market at that time was mainly monopolized by the American Singer Company.
After the founding of New China in 1949, the sewing machinery industry has been fully developed. The industry has gone through stages of reorganization and transformation, public-private partnerships, mergers and cooperation, and a reasonable division of labor, forming a number of backbone enterprises. : Sewing machine manufacturers such as Qie, Chang, Huigong, Feiren, Butterfly and Tianjin Sewing Machine Factory in Shanghai and Huanan Sewing Machine Factory in Guangzhou mainly produce ordinary household sewing machines and low-end industrial sewing machines.
Components of sewing machines
In the late 1950s, the light industry industry generalized and standardized household sewing machines, unified design drawings, improved the compatibility of parts, and made sewing machines more popular. The number of manufacturing enterprises continues to increase, and according to needs, they have developed sewing machines for special purposes such as sunflower fans, medical surgery, badminton, bicycle tires and cord fabric splicing. According to statistics.
As of 1980, there were 56 sewing machine manufacturers in the country, distributed in 22 provinces and cities. As of 1982, my country's sewing machine output reached 12.86 million units, ranking first in the world.
By the mid-1980s, with the continuous adjustment of the market and consumption structure, the product structure of sewing equipment developed in the direction of high-speed and serialization based on medium and low-speed industrial sewing machines, and electronic and computer technology also It is widely used in sewing machines. At the same time, our country has also completed the establishment of a parts and components supporting system and built a huge sewing machine sales network. Some sewing machine companies have digested and absorbed advanced technology after introducing it.
In the early 1990s, internationally renowned companies entered China one after another and established joint ventures and wholly-owned enterprises in the country.
In the late 1990s, private enterprises began to rise, and the major adjustment of the industrial structure promoted the development of the industry. Generally speaking, six major production areas including Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shaanxi, Tianjin and Guangzhou were formed. base.
As of 2004, there were more than 600 sewing machine manufacturers and more than 1,000 spare parts manufacturers in my country, with an annual production volume of 14.008 million units, a total production value of approximately 28 billion yuan, and nearly a thousand varieties. , has become one of the major sewing machinery producing countries in the world.
According to the purpose of the sewing machine, the categories of sewing machines can be divided into household sewing machines, industrial sewing machines and service industry sewing machines in between; according to the driving mode, they can be divided into hand crank, pedal and electric. Sewing machine; according to the sewing stitches, it can be divided into hand-stitched stitches, lock stitches, single-thread chain stitches, double-thread or multi-thread chain stitches, single-thread or multi-thread hemming chain stitches and multi-thread chain stitches. Thread covered chain stitch sewing machine.
