DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] A sinking triangle structure of a flat knitting machine includes a sinking base plate 1, on which a sinking triangle assembly 2 that can move up and down is installed, and also includes a front guide plate 3 and a rear guide plate 4. The front guide plate 3 and the rear guide plate 4 are both provided with sinking triangle holes 5, and the sinking triangle holes 5 are all horizontal long holes. The sinking triangle holes 5 include an upper stroke section and a lower stroke section that are interconnected and located on different planes. A bearing 20 is installed on the sinking triangle assembly 2, and the bearing 20 cooperates with the sinking triangle hole 5 and drives the sinking triangle assembly 2 to slide in the sinking triangle hole 5 and move up and down through the front guide plate 3 and the rear guide plate 4 that move left and right.

[0028] The bearing 20 on the sinking triangle assembly 2 cooperates with the sinking triangle hole 5 and can slide horizontally in the sinking triangle hole 5. Since the sinking triangle holes 5 on the front guide plate 3 and the rear guide plate 4 are provided with an upper stroke section and a lower stroke section, when the front guide plate 3 and the rear guide plate 4 move left and right, the bearing 20 is pushed by the upper stroke section and the lower stroke section in the sinking triangle hole 5 to achieve up and down displacement, thereby driving the sinking triangle assembly 2 to achieve up and down movement.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] The same as Example 1, the difference is that the sinking triangle assembly 2 includes a left sinking triangle 21, a middle sinking triangle 22 and a right sinking triangle 23, the sinking triangle hole 5 includes a left sinking triangle hole 51, a middle sinking triangle hole 52 and a right sinking triangle hole 53, the left sinking triangle hole 51 and the right sinking triangle hole 53 are located on the left and right sides of the rear guide plate 4, the middle sinking triangle hole 52 is located on the front guide plate 3, the left sinking triangle 21, the middle sinking triangle 22 and the right sinking triangle 3 are all provided with bearings 20 and are respectively matched with the left sinking triangle hole 51, the middle sinking triangle hole 52 and the right sinking triangle hole 53 through the bearings 20.

[0033] A guide plate limiting groove 14 is provided on the sedimentation bottom plate 1 , and the front guide plate 3 and the rear guide plate 4 are both located in the guide plate limiting groove 14 and move left and right.
