Description

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of glove knitting machines, and in particular to a glove knitting machine with an electronic needle selection function. [Background Technology]

[0002] The needle selection mechanism of ordinary computer glove knitting machine includes worm, worm gear, needle selection drum, etc. The worm gear is divided into front worm gear and rear worm gear, and the needle selection drum is divided into front needle selection drum and rear needle selection drum. The worm can drive the front worm gear and the rear worm gear to rotate relative to each other at the same time. The front worm gear rotates synchronously with the front needle selection drum, and the rear worm gear rotates synchronously with the rear needle selection drum. The pins set on the front and rear needle selection drums press or not press the bird piece, and then the bird piece pushes or not pushes the needle jack and the knitting needle to achieve the purpose of needle selection or not. Since only one pin can be set on the front and rear needle selection drums at a time, the needle selection drum can be selected or not. A set of pins for knitting gloves is provided. When the pattern of the gloves needs to be changed, the front and rear needle selection rollers can only be removed from the glove machine. Then, the pins are first removed from the front and rear needle selection rollers, and then the other set of pins to be replaced are installed on the front and rear needle selection rollers. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive, affecting the production efficiency of the glove machine. Secondly, after the pins of the needle selection roller are replaced many times, the fit between the pins and the needle selection roller becomes loose, affecting the working accuracy of the needle selection roller. In severe cases, the pins may fall off the needle selection roller, making the glove machine unable to knit normally.

[0003] To address the above issues, the State Intellectual Property Office published a utility model patent, entitled "A Needle Selection Device for a Glove Knitting Machine," on March 20, 2018, with authorization publication number CN207121691U. The patent describes a needle selection device comprising an electronic needle selector and a rotating shaft. The electronic needle selector is equipped with dozens of needle selection head assemblies, each comprising a needle selector body. A transverse rotating shaft hole is defined at the bottom of the body, and a magnet and coil are positioned below the rotating shaft hole. The needle selector is provided with dozens of through-holes corresponding to the rotating shaft hole, and the two are connected by a rotating shaft. The magnet includes an north pole and an south pole, one on either side of the rotating shaft hole. By engaging the coil and the north or south pole of the magnet, the needle selector body is offset, enabling the electronic needle selector assembly to select or not select needles. This patent allows for arbitrary needle selection to meet the requirements for knitting different glove patterns. To support this patent, a drive mechanism for the electronic needle selector is essential. A simple, rational drive mechanism not only improves the production efficiency of the glove knitting machine but also extends its service life. Furthermore, in addition to designing a drive mechanism, a pattern setting system connected to the electronic needle selector is also required to set the desired glove pattern.

[0004] Based on this, this application is filed. [Summary of the invention]
