A method for knitting adjustable long pile loops on a flat knitting machine

Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for weaving terry loops with adjustable length on a flat knitting machine. In the traditional method, the flat knitting machine can only produce terry loops with a fixed length. The length of the terry loops is relatively fixed, which limits the diversity of knitted products and reduces the utilization rate of the flat knitting machine. The length of the terry loops woven in the method of the present invention can be set arbitrarily, which improves the utilization rate of the flat knitting machine and enables the flat knitting machine products to be expanded to other industries, such as packaging, home textiles, decoration, etc.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of knitting, and in particular to a method for knitting adjustable long pile loops on a flat knitting machine. Background Art

[0002] Computerized flat knitting machines are intelligent machines for knitting. However, on the needle bed of the flat knitting machine, the distance between the knitting needles is fixed, and the spacing between the front needle bed and the rear needle bed is also relatively fixed. To knit terry fabric using a flat knitting machine is to embed the tuck thread into the basic fabric knitted on the rear needle bed, knit in a loop on the front needle bed, and then remove the loops knitted in a loop on the front needle bed to form terry. Since the distance between the knitting needles is fixed and the spacing between the front and rear needle beds is relatively fixed, the length of the terry produced by the flat knitting machine remains relatively unchanged, which limits the diversification of flat knitting machine products and the utilization rate of the flat knitting machine. Summary of the invention

[0003] The invention provides a method for knitting loops with adjustable length on a flat knitting machine, which solves the problem that the length of loops produced by the flat knitting machine remains relatively unchanged.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is: a method for knitting adjustable long pile loops on a flat knitting machine, using a double needle bed flat knitting machine with a front needle bed and a rear needle bed, the flat knitting machine can knit loops, tuck loops and floating threads with a single needle selection, and has the functions of transferring and connecting loops, the flat knitting machine is equipped with the required yarn, and the knitting steps are as follows:

[0005] Step 1: Number the needle positions on the front needle bed and the rear needle bed in groups, numbering them as 1, 2, 3...N (N>0, and N is a natural number);

[0006] Step 2: According to the actual required length of the pile, the back needle bed knits the basic structure, and the knitting runs from left to right. The back needle bed with odd-numbered needle positions of 1, 3, 5...(2N-1) is knitted in a loop. Then, the knitting continues, and the belt yarn passes through m (m>0, and m is an odd natural number) needle positions continuously, and the front needle bed with even-numbered needle positions of 1+m, 3+m, 5+m...(2N-1+m) is knitted in a loop, and then knitted Turn back and run from right to left, weave in loops on the front needle bed with even-numbered needle positions of 2, 4, 6…2N, and then run from left to right, weave in tucks on the back needle bed with odd-numbered needle positions of 3, 5, 7…(2N-1), and then weave the basic structure on the back needle bed, embed the tuck threads corresponding to the odd-numbered needle positions of 1, 3, 5…(2N-1) into the basic structure knitted on the back needle bed, and then fall off the loops knitted on the front needle bed corresponding to the even-numbered needle positions of 2, 4, 6…2N and the even-numbered needle positions of 1+m, 3+m, 5+m…(2N-1+m), to form a terry fabric of the required length.

[0007] Preferably, in step 2, tuck knitting is performed at odd-numbered needle positions of the rear needle bed and loop knitting is performed at even-numbered needle positions of the front needle bed; or tuck knitting is performed at even-numbered needle positions of the rear needle bed and loop knitting is performed at odd-numbered needle positions of the front needle bed.

[0008] Preferably, in step 2, weaving starts from left to right, or weaving can also start from right to left.

[0009] Preferably, the method for knitting adjustable long pile loops on a flat knitting machine can be applied in the fields of packaging, home textiles or decoration.

[0010] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: in the traditional method, the flat knitting machine can only produce terry tissues of fixed length, and the length of the terry is relatively fixed, which limits the diversity of knitted products and reduces the utilization rate of the flat knitting machine. In the method of the present invention, the length of the terry can be arbitrarily set when weaving the terry, which improves the utilization rate of the flat knitting machine and enables the flat knitting machine products to be expanded to other industries, such as packaging, home textiles, decoration, etc. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] In order to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Specific implementation method 1

[0025] The method of knitting adjustable long pile loops on a flat knitting machine uses a double needle bed flat knitting machine with a front needle bed and a rear needle bed. The flat knitting machine can knit loops, tuck loops and floating threads with a single needle selection, and has the functions of transferring and connecting loops. The flat knitting machine is equipped with the required yarn. The knitting steps are as follows:

[0026] Step 1: Number the needle positions on the front needle bed and the rear needle bed in groups, numbering them as 1, 2, 3...N (N>0, and N is a natural number);

[0027] Step 2: According to the actual required length of the pile, the back needle bed knits the basic structure, and the knitting runs from left to right. The back needle bed with odd-numbered needle positions of 1, 3, 5...(2N-1) is knitted in a loop. Then, the knitting continues, and the belt yarn passes through m (m>0, and m is an odd natural number) needle positions continuously, and the front needle bed with even-numbered needle positions of 1+m, 3+m, 5+m...(2N-1+m) is knitted in a loop, and then knitted Turn back and run from right to left, weave in loops on the front needle bed with even-numbered needle positions of 2, 4, 6…2N, and then run from left to right, weave in tucks on the back needle bed with odd-numbered needle positions of 3, 5, 7…(2N-1), and then weave the basic structure on the back needle bed, embed the tuck threads corresponding to the odd-numbered needle positions of 1, 3, 5…(2N-1) into the basic structure knitted on the back needle bed, and then fall off the loops knitted on the front needle bed corresponding to the even-numbered needle positions of 2, 4, 6…2N and the even-numbered needle positions of 1+m, 3+m, 5+m…(2N-1+m), to form a terry fabric of the required length.

[0028] As described above, this embodiment uses 12 needle positions to knit long loops: (1) Preparation before knitting the loops: Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the base structure is knitted on the back needle bed, and the loops are knitted on the front needle bed. Therefore, before knitting the loops, the loops on the front needle bed need to be transferred to the back needle bed, and there are no loops in the needles on the front needle bed. (2) Step 1: As shown in the figure, the base structure is knitted on the back needle bed, and the loops are knitted on the front needle bed. Figure 4 As shown, the knitting runs from left to right, the needle bed at needle position 1 is tucked, and then it continues to run to the right, and the needle bed at needle position 6 forms a loop. Then, the knitting runs from right to left, and the needle bed at needle position 2 forms a loop. Then, the knitting runs from left to right, and the needle bed at needle position 3 forms a loop. At this time, the yarns on the front and rear needle beds are in a crossed state. (3) Step 2: As shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, after the back needle bed of needle position 3 is tucked, the knitting continues to run to the right, the front needle bed of needle position 8 is knitted into a loop, and then the knitting runs from right to left, the front needle bed of needle position 4 is knitted into a loop, and the knitting runs from left to right again, and the back needle bed of needle position 5 is tucked. (4) Step 3: As shown Figure 6 As shown, after the needle bed at needle position 5 tucks the loops, the knitting continues to run to the right, the needle bed at needle position 10 forms a loop, and then the knitting runs from right to left, the needle bed at needle position 6 forms a loop (for the second knitting at needle position 6, the loop of the second knitting will be covered by the loop of the first knitting, and will lose the loop after the loop falls, forming a pile loop). The knitting runs from left to right again, and the needle bed at needle position 7 tucks the loops. (5) Step 4: As shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, after the needle position 7 rear needle bed tucks, the knitting continues to run to the right, the needle position 12 front needle bed forms a loop, then the knitting runs from right to left, the needle position 8 front needle bed forms a loop (the second knitting of needle position 8, the description is the same as step 3), and the knitting continues from left to right, the needle position 9 rear needle bed tucks. (6) Step 5: As shown in Figure 8 As shown, knitting runs from right to left, odd-numbered needle positions on the back needle bed: 11, 9, 7, 5, 3, 1 are knitted in loops (or all needles on the back needle bed are knitted in loops), and the tuck thread is embedded into the base structure of the back needle bed knitting. The final loop is as follows Figure 1 shown. Specific implementation method 2

[0030] The basic configuration of the second embodiment is consistent with that of the first embodiment. The main difference is that: Fig. 9 As shown, this embodiment adopts the conventional method to form the terry loop, that is, knitting without a yarn guide, knitting the front needle bed from left to right, and then knitting the front needle bed from right to left, and repeating twice. Because knitting without a yarn guide actually causes the knitting needle to rise, and no yarn is fed, the old coil falls off the knitting needle, forming a terry loop, such as Figure 2 shown. Specific implementation method three

[0032] The basic configuration of the third embodiment is consistent with that of the first embodiment, with the main difference being that in this embodiment, six sets of needle positions are used to knit a loop of terry, such as Fig.10As shown, the rear needle bed knits the basic structure, and the knitting runs from left to right. The knitting is performed on the rear needle bed (needle A) at needle position 1. The knitting continues, and the tape yarn passes through needle positions 2, 3, 4, and 5, and is knitted into loops on the front needle bed at needle position 6 (needle D). The knitting returns and runs from right to left, and is knitted into loops on the front needle bed (needle C) at needle position 2. The knitting mechanism then runs from left to right, and is knitted on the rear needle bed (needle B) at needle position 3. Then, the rear needle bed knits the basic structure, and after the tuck threads of needles A and B are embedded in the basic structure knitted by the rear needle bed, the loops knitted by needles C and D on the front needle bed are dropped to form a loop of terry. The length of the loop is approximately AD+DC+BC. According to actual production needs, it is possible to adjust the length of the loop by yourself. If the actual length of the loop is required to be less than AD+DC+BC, it is possible to knit the loop on needle A, and then only pass through needle position 2 and knit on the front needle bed of needle position 3, or the loop yarn passes through needle positions 2, 3, and 4 and knits on the front needle bed of needle position 5. In this way, the length of the loop will be less than AD+DC+BC; if a longer loop is actually required, it is possible to knit the loop on needle A, and then pass through needle positions 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 and knit on the front needle bed of needle position 7, or knit on any needle position larger than needle position 7. In this way, the length of the loop will be greater than AD+DC+BC. Specific implementation method four

[0034] The basic configuration of the fourth embodiment is consistent with that of the second embodiment. The main difference is that: Fig.11 As shown, this embodiment knits a loop of terry, using 6 groups of needle positions, the back needle bed knits the basic structure, tucks are knitted on the back needle bed (A needle) of needle position 1, loops are knitted on the front needle bed (C needle) of needle position 2, and tucks are knitted on the back needle bed (B needle) of needle position 3. Then, the back needle bed knits the basic structure, and after the tuck threads of the A and B needles are embedded in the basic structure knitted by the back needle bed, the loops knitted by the C needle of the front needle bed are removed to form a loop of terry, and the length of the loop is approximately AC+CB.

[0035] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
