The invention belongs to the technical field of sewing machines, and particularly discloses a driving device for automatic thread trimming and automatic presser foot lifting. The driving device is simple in structure and capable of guaranteeing stable operation of a sewing machine. The driving device comprises a presser foot lifting transmission rod, a thread trimming transmission rod, a stepping motor, a cam body arranged on the stepping motor, a pressure foot lifting connecting rod and a thread trimming connecting rod. The cam body is provided with a pressure foot lifting driving cam surface and a thread trimming driving cam surface, both of which comprise a base circle surface and a lift curved surface. The other end of the pressure foot lifting connecting rod is hinged to one end of the pressure foot lifting transmission rod, and the pressure foot lifting connecting rod is provided with a first driven pin. The thread trimming transmission rod is hinged to the other end of the thread trimming connecting rod, and the thread trimming connecting rod is provided with a second driven pin. When the stepping motor drives the cam body to rotate clockwise by a certain angle, one driven pin enters the lift curved surfaces from the base circle surfaces, and the other driven pin slides on the base circle surfaces; when the stepping motor drives the cam body to rotate anticlockwise, one driven pin slides on the base circle surfaces, and the other driven pin enters the lift curved surfaces from the base circle surfaces.
