Flat knitting machine with loop forming tablet and its control method

Abstract

The present invention provides a flat knitting machine equipped with a knitting and pressing machine and a control method thereof, which can easily confirm a defect occurring at the tip of a finger, and can reliably prevent the finger from being used even when the defect occurs. When the base end of the finger is switched from the set position to the reset position, and the reset position sensor detects that the base end of the finger has been switched to the reset position, only when the front end of the finger is detected by the reset state detection unit When it is not returned to the reset position, it is determined that a defect has occurred at the tip of the forefinger. If this determination is made simultaneously with the carriage retracting to the outside of the knitting width of the knitted fabric, it can be determined that the protruding finger interferes with the yarn feeder of the yarn guide, and the movement stroke of the carriage is extended until Interference-avoiding action of pointing to the position that does not interfere with the yarn feeder of the yarn guide, and then reverses the carriage of the triangular seat.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a flat knitting machine equipped with a stitch presser that moves together with a carriage and can switch a finger (finga) to a setting position for pressing a knitted fabric, and a control method thereof and the reset position away from the knitted fabric. Background technique [0002] In a flat knitting machine in which the front and rear needle beds face each other in an inverted V shape across the tooth gap, the knitted fabric being knitted is often pressed by the knitting sheet at the tooth gap. The knitting press piece has a substantially L-shape, and is mounted on a carriage that makes the knitting needles perform selective knitting operations while reciprocating along the needle bed. In addition, the knitting press piece has a finger that is cantilever-supported at the base end and extends at the front end, and can press the knitted fabric knitted with the knitting yarn supplied from the yarn feeder of the yarn...

Problems solved by technology

In addition, depending on the user of the flat knitting machine, the yarn feeder may be used in a state where the yarn feeder is lowered to approach the tooth gap where yarn bite is likely to occur. In this case, the yarn feeder of each yarn feeder may be Interference with the movement trajectory of the finger
