Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computerized flat knitting machines, in particular to a combined needle bed for knitting garments on a computerized flat knitting machine. Background Art

[0002] Existing computerized flat knitting machines are restricted by factors such as sweater knitting process plate making, mechanical motion control systems and the pioneering design of key components. The knitting of sweaters has always been limited to the loose knitting of the front and back pieces, two sleeve pieces and the neckline. A complete sweater is formed by manual sewing with a special sweater sewing machine. The sewing process is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process.

[0003] With the improvement of knitting process and plate making, the improvement of control systems and the gradual maturity of pioneering designs in the industry, medium-coarse 7-9 needles / 25.4 mm (the number of latch needles per inch) medium-coarse needle spacing knitting wide-width computer knitting machines (such as 7 needles for a 14-needle plate to increase the width to achieve the actual number of needles needed for a sweater) have been launched on the market. However, the large-scale medium-fine needle spacing such as 11-14 needles is restricted by equipment such as latch needles. If the latch needles are used and installed according to the traditional method, the thickness of the latch needle is less than 0.5, the needle hook is too small and the yarn content is not up to standard, and the unilaterally tightened suspended coil pulls the bent needle hook extension rod and cannot be used for garment knitting.

[0004] After 2000, internationally renowned brands in the industry launched multi-needle-bed computerized flat knitting machines - four-needle-bed computerized flat knitting machines with superimposed front and rear needle beds, and equipped with a needle-selection type thread-pressing auxiliary needle bed, which perfectly realized the "weave and wear" garment knitting with fine gauges of more than 12 needles. It uses complex special composite weaving latch needles, needle beds and composite three-dimensional triangular tracks. The price of a single unit is as high as more than one million, which is about 20 times the price of existing domestic computer machines.

The two sides of the front needle groove inlay 3 are respectively provided with auxiliary needle grooves on the corresponding sides of the engaging tongue needle, and the cross section is I-shaped. The auxiliary needle groove and the main needle groove of the inlay form a widened guide needle groove for the movement of the tongue needle, and the auxiliary needle groove on the side with the transfer coil spring close to the tongue needle is also provided with a transfer coil spring yielding groove 12, so that the tongue needle can be obviously thickened, so that the tongue needle thickness and the needle hook yarn content meet the requirements of medium and fine needle gauge sweater garment knitting; the needle groove inlay groove is divided into a front needle groove inlay groove and a rear needle groove inlay groove, and the front needle groove inlay groove is installed in the front needle groove inlay groove; the rear needle groove inlay groove is installed in the rear needle groove inlay groove; the front needle groove inlay 3 is assembled in the needle groove inlay groove of the needle bed main body 1 to form a guide needle groove for the up and down movement of the tongue needle 16, The heel of the guide piece 13 that contacts the track triangle and guides the movement of the tongue needle by locking the rear end of the tongue needle through the tongue needle thickness connecting piece 19 is located in the rear needle groove, and the front needle groove does not bear the impact force generated by the track triangle when the needle is started; the rear needle groove insert 4 with no auxiliary needle grooves on both sides is installed in the rear needle groove insert groove to form a needle groove for the guide piece 13, the three-position pressing piece 17, the needle selection piece 18 and the tongue needle thickness connecting piece 19 to work, and the needle groove insert 4 with no auxiliary needle grooves on both sides can withstand the normal impact force generated when the track triangle is started.

[0034] The front and rear needle groove inserts are both transversely fixed in their respective needle groove insert grooves by steel wires.

[0035] The front and rear needle grooves form a transitional connection between the latch needle 16 and the needle guide 13 through the latch needle thickness connecting piece 19, ensuring that the thickened latch needle can successfully realize the garment knitting with a fine stitch length in the spacer needle. Embodiment 2:
