This utility model relates to the field of knitting machinery technology, and in particular to a self-lubricating structure for the guide rail of a flat knitting
machine head. The technical solution includes a base, a needle
bed on the top of the base, two guide rail bodies on the top of the needle
bed, multiple oil outlet holes and an internal threaded hole on the top of the guide rail body, a sealing cap inside the internal threaded hole, and an
oil storage chamber for mounting components and storing lubricating oil within the guide rail body. This utility model, through the configuration of a PLC,
oil pump, oil suction
pipe, one-way valve, and oil outlet
nozzle, allows the PLC to start the
oil pump according to a set time and control the duration of each operation, causing the
oil pump to draw lubricating oil from the
oil storage chamber and out through the oil outlet
nozzle, acting on the surface of the guide rail body to achieve automatic
lubrication of the guide rail and the
machine head. This eliminates the need for manual operation, reducing labor costs and ensuring stable
lubrication without insufficient or excessive
lubrication.
