Warp knitting machine

Abstract

The invention relates to a chain knitting machine (1) having a main shaft (2) and a main shaft drive which has a drive motor (6), the main shaft (2) controlling at least one bar arrangement. In such a chain knitting machine, a high working speed with a simple construction would be possible. For this purpose, it is provided that the drive motor 6 is arranged coaxially with the main shaft (2).

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a warp knitting machine with a spindle and a spindle drive with a drive motor, wherein the spindle actuates at least one bar arrangement. Background technique

[0002] During operation of the warp knitting machine, the main shaft is rotated and drives at least one bar, but usually a plurality of bars, for example via a crank drive, on which a looping tool is fixed. The crank gear can have a plurality of sections distributed over the length of the bar.

[0003] The known drive motor is arranged laterally next to the spindle, ie the axis of rotation of the drive motor runs parallel to the axis of rotation of the spindle. The torque-transmitting connection between the drive motor and the spindle takes place via a belt or a chain. The lateral connection via the motor rocker is susceptible to vibrations and is disadvantageous in terms of machine dynamics. In the case of a simple construction, this results in a limitation of ...
