Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cleaning equipment for knitting needles, and in particular to a cleaning equipment for knitting needles. Background Technology

[0002] When cleaning existing knitting needles, a certain number of knitting needles are usually placed directly into a sealed cleaning tank for cleaning. The cleaning methods include water rinsing and ultrasonic cleaning. These two methods have the following drawbacks: (1) For example, when the knitting needle is a latch needle, if many latch needles are mixed together for cleaning, the hook end of one latch needle can easily enter the needle loop of another latch needle. This will cause them to become entangled. On the one hand, it is inconvenient to collect and sort them later. On the other hand, the hook end or needle loop of the latch needle will be deformed. (2) When cleaning in a mixed manner, each knitting needle cannot fully contact the clean cleaning solution on its own, and the cleaning effect is relatively poor. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a cleaning device for knitting needles, which solves the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A cleaning device for knitting needles includes a cleaning solution tank with an upward opening for holding cleaning solution. Inside the cleaning solution tank is a fixed box with an upward opening, the four sides of which are held in place by tension springs within the inner wall of the cleaning solution tank. Four bolt-connecting bases are provided inside the fixed box. These bolt-connecting bases are used to secure a cover plate by bolts passing through bolt holes in the cover plate and tightening them. The outer frame dimensions of the cover plate are the same as the inner frame dimensions of the fixed box. A plurality of elastic rubber granules are filled inside the fixed box. The bolts press the cover plate against the inner wall of the fixed box. The rubber granules are compressed and compacted inside the fixed box. Several fixed insertion holes for threading needles are spaced apart on the cover plate. During installation, the threading needle is inserted through the fixed insertion hole into the rubber granule. The cover plate is then pressed tightly onto the rubber granules with bolts, causing the granules to compress and compact themselves. This completes the quick end fixation of the threading needle. A vibration support rod is also fixed to the cover plate, with a vibration motor at its upper end to provide vibration to the fixed box, allowing the threading needle to be vibrated and cleaned in a cleaning solution tank filled with cleaning solution.

[0006] Preferably, the top of the cleaning fluid tank is provided with an installation platform, and a vibration motor mounting shell is rotatably provided on the top of the installation platform. The outer side wall of the vibration motor mounting shell is provided with a toothed structure, and the vibration motor is fixed inside the vibration motor mounting shell and rotates with the rotation of the vibration motor mounting shell. A drive motor for driving the vibration motor mounting shell is also fixed on the installation platform, and the output shaft end of the drive motor is provided with a drive gear that meshes with the gear of the vibration motor mounting shell.

[0007] Preferably, the lower end face of the fixed box is provided with through holes for draining cleaning fluid, and the diameter of the through holes is smaller than the diameter of the rubber granule balls.

[0008] Preferably, a threaded mounting base is fixed at the middle position of the upper end face of the cover plate, and a thread is provided at the lower end of the vibration support rod. The vibration support rod and the threaded mounting base are threadedly connected, which facilitates the storage and transportation of the device and effectively saves transportation costs.

[0009] Preferably, a drain port communicating with the inner cavity of the cleaning fluid tank is provided on the side of the cleaning fluid tank. The drain port is used to discharge the cleaning fluid in the cleaning fluid tank. A drain port threaded cap is threadedly connected to the outer end of the drain port. During the cleaning process, the drain port threaded cap covers the end of the drain port.

[0010] Preferably, honeycomb rubber pads are fixed at the four corners of the lower end face of the cleaning fluid tank to effectively improve the external vibration of the device. The advantages and positive effects of the present invention are: the vibration-type cleaning method allows the threading needles to be cleaned quickly by friction with the cleaning fluid, and compared with the existing sealed tank structure, this device separates each threading needle to avoid friction. At the same time, the clamping device designed in this structure can easily and flexibly clamp a large number of threading needles without scratching the outside of the threading needles while ensuring sufficient clamping force, and the clamping operation is simple and quick.
