Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glove machine technology, and more specifically to an assembly method for a glove machine with interchangeable patterns. Background Technology

[0002] As the name suggests, a glove machine is used to knit gloves. Gloves are becoming increasingly widely used, and the demands on gloves in daily life are also rising, with various patterns and styles becoming essential. This places higher demands on glove machines; manufacturers also hope that glove machines can knit gloves with various patterns and styles, and are easy to operate and adjust.

[0003] Currently, there are no glove machines on the market that can change the knitting shape and color of gloves by controlling spring needles with electromagnets. Moreover, most glove machines on the market use mechanical roller needle selection devices. Roller needle selection involves arranging pins on the needle drum. The distribution of the pins depends on the gloves to be knitted, and each needle drum has only one arrangement. When it is necessary to change the knitting shape or color of the gloves, the arrangement must be changed again. This has drawbacks such as complicated operation, high cost, and limited color options for the knitted gloves.

[0004] Currently, there are no glove machines on the market that use electromagnets to control spring needles, nor are there corresponding assembly methods for glove machines. This is not conducive to improving the assembly efficiency of glove machines and the stability of the glove machines after assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the above shortcomings, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an assembly method for a glove machine with interchangeable patterns, which is used to assemble various components of an electromagnet-type glove machine, greatly improving the assembly efficiency of the glove machine and enhancing the stability of the glove machine during use.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: An assembly method for a glove machine with interchangeable patterns includes the following steps: Step 1: Connect the electromagnet controller to the electromagnet of the iron core needle selector, and use a magnetic flux detector to detect the magnetic flux of the electromagnet in the energized state, and adjust the magnetic flux of each electromagnet to a predetermined range. Step 2: Assemble the iron core needle selector. After the iron core needle selector is assembled, adjust the iron core needle selector and the adsorption status of the spring needle in the unpowered state. Step 3: Install the iron core needle selector symmetrically on the needle selector mounting base; Step 4: Install the triangular pressing needle mechanism above the iron core needle selector and adjust the position of the triangular pressing needle mechanism so that the triangular pressing needle mechanism presses the spring needle onto the electromagnet. Step 5: Install the needle selector mounting base on the frame, connect the electromagnet controller to the electromagnet, and connect the glove machine control panel to the synchronous motor.

(2.1) Assemble the electromagnet and the modular mounting base; (2.2) Fix the needle plate of the glove machine onto the modular mounting base; (2.3) String multiple spring pins together on the same connecting rod; (2.4) Install the support foot of the spring needle into the needle groove of the glove machine needle plate for installing the spring needle, and then pre-fix the connecting rod on the glove machine needle plate; (2.5) When the power is off, vibrate the needle selector and observe whether a spring needle is attracted to the electromagnet. If no spring needle is attracted to the electromagnet, proceed to the next step. If a spring needle is attracted to the electromagnet, adjust the relative position of the connecting rod and repeat the operation. (2.6) In the unpowered state, press the spring pins in sequence. If all the spring pins can be attracted to the electromagnet, tighten the connecting rod.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment method of the connecting rod in steps (2.5) and (2.6) includes adjustment along the length direction of the needle groove used to install the spring needle and adjustment along the direction perpendicular to the needle plate of the glove machine.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step four further includes the following steps. (4.1) The triangular pressure needle mechanism is manually or electrically driven to move in one direction to complete one pressure needle operation; (4.2) Observe whether all the spring needles are attracted to the electromagnet that is not energized; (4.3) If all the magnets are attracted to the electromagnet, there is no need to adjust the adjustment components.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] A glove machine with interchangeable patterns includes an iron core needle selector, a triangular needle pressing mechanism 26, a needle selector mounting base 1-1, and a frame 1-2. The iron core needle selector is symmetrically mounted on the needle selector mounting base 1-1 in a figure-eight pattern, which facilitates the production of two gloves in one knitting operation, thereby improving the production efficiency of the glove machine. The triangular needle pressing mechanism 26 is slidably mounted on the needle selector mounting base 1-1 and covers the iron core needle selector. The triangular needle pressing mechanism 26 presses the spring needles on the iron core needle selector onto the electromagnet. The electromagnet attracts the spring needles by the magnetism generated by the magnetization of the permanent magnet or by the magnetism generated by the electromagnet under energized conditions, thereby realizing the operation of quick needle changing and meeting the needs of different knitting shapes or colors, thus realizing the quick change of pattern. The needle selector mounting base 1-1 is fixedly installed on the frame 1-2. An adjustment component is installed on the iron core needle selector. The adjustment component is located below the triangular needle pressing mechanism 26. The installation position of the triangular needle pressing mechanism 26 is adjusted by the adjustment component to ensure that the two sides of the triangular needle pressing mechanism 26 are in a basically consistent position with the two different iron core needle selectors, so that the triangular needle pressing mechanism 26 can perform needle pressing operation on the iron core needle selectors at the same time.

[0029] The adjustment assembly includes a drive component, an adjustment rod 1-3, and a limiting plate 1-4. The drive component is mounted on the limiting plate 1-4. The adjustment rod 1-3 is slidably mounted on the iron core needle selector through the limiting plate 1-4, ensuring that the adjustment rod 1-3 moves relative to the glove machine needle plate 21. The drive component is connected to the adjustment rod 1-3 to drive the adjustment rod 1-3 to move. A positioning head 1-5 is fixedly connected to the adjustment rod 1-3. A positioning groove 1-6 is formed in the triangular needle pressing mechanism 26. The positioning head 1-5 is installed in the positioning groove 1-6. When the adjustment rod 1-3 moves along the glove machine needle plate 21, the positioning head 1-5 also moves relative to it. Since the positioning head 1-5 is installed in the positioning groove 1-6, when the positioning head 1-5 moves, it drives the triangular needle pressing mechanism 26 to move, thereby adjusting the positional relationship between the triangular needle pressing mechanism 26 and the glove machine needle plate 21, which facilitates the needle pressing operation of the iron core needle selector.

[0030] Adjusting rods 1-3 are installed on the needle plates 21 on both sides of the glove machine to facilitate the adjustment of the relative positions of the two sides of the triangular needle pressing mechanism 26, thereby facilitating the simultaneous needle pressing operation of the triangular needle pressing mechanism 26 on the iron core needle selector.

[0031] The driving components include a driving cylinder 1-7, a driving fork 1-8, and a rotating seat 1-9. The driving fork 1-8 is mounted on the limiting plate 1-4 via the rotating seat 1-9. The driving fork 1-8 is connected to the driving cylinder 1-7 and the adjusting rod 1-3 respectively. The driving cylinder 1-7 drives the driving fork 1-8 to rotate, and the rotation of the driving fork 1-8 drives the adjusting rod 1-3 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the relative position of the triangular pressure needle mechanism 26.

[0032] The drive fork 1-8 includes a rotating head 1-10, a first lever 1-11, and a second lever 1-12. The rotating head 1-10 is rotatably mounted on the rotating seat 1-9. The first lever 1-11 and the second lever 1-12 are respectively connected to the rotating head 1-10. The first lever 1-11 abuts against the cylinder shaft of the drive cylinder 1-7, and the second lever 1-12 abuts against the adjusting rod 1-3. The drive cylinder 1-7 drives the first lever 1-11 to rotate, which in turn drives the second lever 1-12 to rotate, thereby moving the adjusting rod 1-3.

[0033] An installation plane 1-13 is fixedly connected inside the frame 1-2. An electromagnet controller 1-14 is fixedly installed on the installation plane 1-13. The electromagnet controller 1-14 is used to control the on and off state of the electromagnet to ensure that the electromagnet works normally. A glove machine control panel 1-15 is installed on the inner wall of the frame 1-2. The glove machine control panel 1-15 is used to control the synchronous motor to drive the triangular needle pressing mechanism 26 to move, so that the triangular needle pressing mechanism 26 presses the spring needle onto the electromagnet.

[0034] A groove 1-16 is formed on the needle plate 21 of the glove machine. An adjusting rod 1-3 is slidably installed on the groove 1-16. A limiting plate 1-4 is placed on top of the groove 1-16 to form an installation cavity. The adjusting rod 1-3 is installed in the installation cavity to ensure that the adjusting rod 1-3 can move stably.

[0035] The iron core needle selector includes a modular fixed base 1 and a spring needle adsorption assembly 2. The spring needle adsorption assembly 2 is fixedly installed in the modular fixed base 1. The spring needle adsorption assembly 2 includes an electromagnet 3 and a permanent magnet 4. The electromagnet 3 extends out of one end of the modular fixed base 1, and the permanent magnet 4 abuts against the other end of the electromagnet 3. The electromagnet 3 and the permanent magnet 4 work together to fix and separate the spring needle 20, achieving the purpose of quick needle selection and quick change of pattern. In addition, the structure of this needle selector is simpler and easier to assemble.

[0036] During the magnetization process of electromagnet 3, the spring needle 20 of the glove machine is fixedly attracted to electromagnet 3 by electromagnet. During the demagnetization process of electromagnet 3, the direction of the current in electromagnet 3 is opposite to the direction of magnetization, so that the magnetic field generated by electromagnet 3 cancels the magnetic field generated by permanent magnet 4, thereby demagnetizing and separating the spring needle 20 from the electromagnet.

[0037] The electromagnet 3 includes an iron rod 5 and a coil 6. The coil 6 is sleeved on the outside of the iron rod 5. One end of the iron rod 5 extends out of one end of the splicing fixing base 1. The permanent magnet 4 is abutted against the other end of the iron rod 5. By setting the permanent magnet 4, it is convenient to combine and cancel the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 4 and the magnetic field of the electromagnet 3 when it is necessary to separate the spring needle 20.

[0038] The iron rod 5 has a snap-fit ​​groove 8 formed on it, and a limiting boss 7 is fixedly connected to the iron rod 5. The limiting boss 7 and the snap-fit ​​groove 8 are adapted to the splicing fixing seat 1. The iron rod 5 is fixed by the snap-fit ​​groove 8 and the limiting boss 7, which facilitates the installation efficiency of the iron rod 5 and prevents the iron rod 5 from moving relative to each other.

[0039] An adapter plate 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the iron rod 5. The end of the coil 6 is fixedly connected to the adapter plate 9. A control connection line 10 is fixedly connected to the adapter plate 9. The adapter plate 9 is a PCB board. The coil wire end is first soldered to the PCB board. One end of the control connection line 10 is then soldered to the PCB board, and the other end passes through the wire hole 16 of the fixing seat and can be soldered to the control board 19.

[0040] The modular fixing base 1 includes a fixing cover 11 and a fixing base 12 that are assembled together. The fixing cover 11 has a first fixing groove 13 formed on it, and the fixing base 12 has a second fixing groove 14 formed on it. The electromagnet 3 is adapted to the first fixing groove 13 and the second fixing groove 14 respectively. The first fixing groove 13 and the second fixing groove 14 are staggered, which makes it easy to arrange the electromagnets in two rows in a staggered manner to solve the problem of the needle pitch being too small.

[0041] A fixing head 15 is formed between adjacent first fixing slots 13. The fixing head 15 extends into the second fixing slot 14. Similarly, a fixing head 15 is also formed between adjacent second fixing slots 14. The fixing head 15 extends into the first fixing slot 13 to fix the electromagnet 3 and facilitate the fixing and snapping of the iron rod 5 of the electromagnet.

[0042] Both the fixed cover 11 and the fixed base 12 have wire holes 16 formed on them, so that the control connection wire 10 can extend out of the assembled fixed base 1 and connect to the control board 19.

[0043] A connecting seat 17 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the fixed base 12, so that the electromagnet needle selector can be fixedly installed on the needle plate 21 of the glove machine through the connecting seat 17.

[0044] A magnetic pressure plate 18 is fixedly installed on one end face of the modular mounting base 1. The permanent magnet 4 is fixedly installed on the modular mounting base 1 through the magnetic pressure plate 18. A control plate 19 is fixedly installed on the magnetic pressure plate 18. The control plate 19 is fixedly connected to the electromagnet 3. The direction of the current of the electromagnet 3 is controlled by the control plate 19, so as to facilitate changing the direction of the magnetic field of the electromagnet 3.

[0045] The glove machine of this embodiment includes the aforementioned iron core needle selector. When the iron core needle selector needs to attract the spring needle to the electromagnet during use, the electromagnet needs to be energized. The electromagnet's attraction force presses the spring needle down, causing it to be attracted to the electromagnet. However, the stability during use is poor, and the requirements for the attraction force of the electromagnet after it is energized and the distance between the spring needle and the electromagnet are relatively high. The glove machine of this embodiment is equipped with a triangular needle pressing mechanism 26, which presses the spring needle 20 onto the electromagnet more stably. No power is required when pressing the needle, and only one reverse power is needed when demagnetizing and separating, thus overcoming the defects of forward and reverse power.

[0046] To facilitate the installation of spring needles, multiple needle grooves 22 are evenly arranged inside the needle plate 21 of the glove machine, and spring needles 20 are installed in the needle grooves 22.

[0047] The end of the spring needle 20 is formed with a mounting hole 23. The mounting holes 23 between adjacent spring needles 20 are connected by a connecting rod, fixing one end of the spring needle 20 to the needle plate 21 of the glove machine. The other end of the spring needle 20 is adapted to the electromagnet 3, and the electromagnet attracts the end of the spring needle 20. The lower end of the spring needle 20 is connected to a support foot 24, which is placed in the needle groove 22. The support foot 24 supports the end of the spring needle 20 to prevent the end of the spring needle 20 from being attracted to the electromagnet.

[0048] A triangular needle pressing mechanism 26 is slidably mounted on the glove machine. The triangular needle pressing mechanism 26 is mounted on a synchronous belt 28 via a connecting seat 27. The synchronous belt 28 is driven to move by a stepper motor, thereby driving the triangular needle pressing mechanism 26 to reciprocate. The synchronous motor is mounted on both sides of the needle selector mounting seat 1-1. A needle pressing protrusion is formed on the lower end surface of the triangular needle pressing mechanism 26. The width of the needle pressing protrusion is the same as the width of the spring needle 20. When the protrusion moves above the spring needle 20, it bends the support foot 24 of the spring needle, thereby lowering the height of the spring needle 20 and reducing the distance between the end of the spring needle 20 and the electromagnet core. Alternatively, the end of the spring needle 20 can be directly pressed onto the electromagnet core. Due to the action of the permanent magnet 4, the electromagnet core has a certain magnetism under normal conditions, so the spring needle 20 can be directly attracted to the electromagnet without energizing it, thus improving the stability of the spring needle 20's attraction.

[0049] In this embodiment, the number of pressure pin protrusions on the lower end face of the triangular pressure pin mechanism 26 is one. Each spring pin 20 is pressed by the single protrusion in sequence, thereby ensuring that the end of each spring pin can abut against the iron core of the electromagnet during the pressing process, thus improving the working stability.

[0050] In this embodiment, the number of spring pins 20 is consistent with the number of flower patterns to be added.

[0051] In some embodiments, the number of pressure needle protrusions on the triangular pressure needle mechanism 26 is the same as the number of spring needles 20, which can greatly shorten the movement range of the triangular pressure needle mechanism 26 and improve the working efficiency of the glove machine.

[0052] In this embodiment, the triangular pressure needle mechanism 26 uses two interconnected plates that are inclined to each other, and a protrusion for the pressure needle is provided on the inner end face of the plate.

[0053] During use, to facilitate the selection of spring needle 20 according to user needs, the electromagnet is programmed to control whether it can attract spring needle 20. When the triangular pressing mechanism 26 presses down spring needle 20, if the spring needle is needed at that location, the electromagnet is not energized, and the iron core of the electromagnet attracts the spring needle through the action of the permanent magnet 4. If the spring needle is not needed at that location, the electromagnet only needs to be energized in one direction to activate the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 4, and the spring needle returns to its original position as the triangular pressing mechanism moves.

[0054] To facilitate the control of all electromagnets through the same control board 19 and simplify the structure of the control unit, a connector 25 is installed at the lower end of the control board 19. The connector 25 is used to connect each electromagnet accordingly.

[0055] The edges of the fixed cover 11 and the fixed base 12 are both formed with fixed frame ramps 29.

[0056] The assembly method for the above-mentioned pattern-changeable glove machine includes the following steps: Step 1: Connect the glove machine controller to the electromagnet of the iron core needle selector, and use a magnetic flux detector to detect the magnetic flux of the electromagnet in the energized state. Adjust the magnetic flux of each electromagnet to a certain range. First, test the electromagnet in the energized state to ensure that each electromagnet is in a qualified state before installation, which saves the trouble of repeatedly disassembling and assembling the electromagnet if quality problems are found after installation. Step 2: Assemble the iron core needle selector. After the iron core needle selector is assembled, adjust the iron core needle selector and the adsorption status of the spring needle in the unpowered state to ensure that the spring needle can be attracted to the electromagnet in the unpowered state. Step 3: Install the iron core needle selectors symmetrically on the needle selector mounting base to ensure the working efficiency of this glove machine; Step 4: Install the triangular pressure needle mechanism above the iron core needle selector, and adjust the position of the triangular pressure needle mechanism by adjusting the component to ensure that the spring needles can be attracted to the electromagnet when not powered, thereby improving the attraction stability of the spring needles. Step 5: Install the needle selector mounting base on the frame, connect the electromagnet controller to the electromagnet, and connect the glove machine control panel to the synchronous motor.

[0057] Step two includes the following steps: (2.1) Assemble the electromagnet and the modular mounting base; (2.2) Fix the needle plate of the glove machine onto the modular mounting base; (2.3) String multiple spring needles together on the same connecting rod and fix the spring needles to the needle plate of the glove machine through the connecting rod, so as to make it easier to adjust all the spring needles at the same time and improve the assembly and debugging efficiency; (2.4) Separate multiple spring needles so that each spring needle corresponds to a needle groove for installing spring needles. Install the support foot of the spring needle into the needle groove for installing spring needles on the glove machine needle plate. Then, pre-fix the connecting rod on the glove machine needle plate so that each spring needle can work independently. (2.5) In the unpowered state, vibrate the needle selector slightly (simulating the vibration generated by the operation of the glove machine) and observe whether the spring needle is attracted to the electromagnet. If no spring needle is attracted to the electromagnet, proceed to the next step. If the spring needle is attracted to the electromagnet, adjust the relative position of the connecting rod used to connect the spring needle and repeat this operation to eliminate the hidden danger of the spring needle being accidentally attracted due to the vibration generated by the operation of the glove machine. In this embodiment, the relative position of the connecting rod is adjusted by using fixed bases of different heights to adjust the installation position of the connecting rod.

[0058] (2.6) In the unpowered state, press the spring pins in sequence. If all the spring pins can be attracted to the electromagnet, tighten the connecting rod. If some spring pins cannot be attracted to the electromagnet, adjust the position of the connecting rod until all the spring pins can be attracted to the electromagnet, ensuring that the spring pins can be attracted to the electromagnet in the unpowered state.

[0059] In this assembly method, the position of all spring pins is changed simultaneously by altering the relative position of the connecting rod used to connect each spring pin in series, thereby improving adjustment efficiency.

[0060] Because a permanent magnet is installed below the electromagnet, the iron core is magnetized by the permanent magnet, which makes the iron core have a certain magnetism, thereby attracting and fixing the spring needle.

[0061] There are two ways to attach the spring needle to the electromagnet: (1) By energizing the electromagnet, the magnetism of the electromagnet is enhanced, thereby attracting the suspended spring needle to the electromagnet. This method of attraction requires a large magnetism of the electromagnet and has poor stability; (2) By moving the spring needle, the spring needle is attracted to the electromagnet, ensuring the stability of the electromagnet in attracting the spring needle. Therefore, in this assembly method, the method of manual pressing is used to test whether the spring needle can be attracted to the electromagnet without power, so as to ensure the working stability of the needle selector.

[0062] Step (2.1) also includes the following steps: (2.1.1) Install the electromagnet in the modular mounting base and install a permanent magnet below the modular mounting base to magnetize the core of the electromagnet; (2.1.2) Vibration-fitting fixed base, ensuring that the iron core of the electromagnet inside the fixed base is attracted to the permanent magnet; (2.1.3) Fix the modular fixing base.

[0063] Step (2.2) also includes the following steps to ensure that the installation position of the spring pin corresponds to the position of the electromagnet, and to ensure that the spring pin is attracted to the electromagnet. (2.2.1) Pre-tighten the needle plate of the glove machine onto the connecting seat of the modular fixing base; (2.2.2) Align the needle slots on the needle plate of the glove machine for installing spring needles with the electromagnets on the modular mounting base one by one; (2.2.3) Lock the glove machine needle plate and the modular fixing seat.

[0064] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment method of the connecting rod in steps (2.5) and (2.6) includes adjustment along the length direction of the needle groove used to install the spring needle and adjustment along the direction perpendicular to the needle plate of the glove machine.

[0065] The glove machine needle selector is fixedly mounted on the glove machine needle plate 21 via a modular mounting base 1. During the magnetization process of the electromagnet 3, the spring needle 20 of the glove machine is fixedly attracted to the electromagnet 3 by the magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic coil. During the demagnetization process of the electromagnet 3, the current direction in the electromagnet 3 is opposite to the magnetization direction, so that the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet 3 cancels out the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet 4, thereby demagnetizing and separating the spring needle 20 from the electromagnet.

[0066] To improve the adjustment efficiency of the triangular pressure needle mechanism, step four also includes the following steps: (4.1) The triangular pressure needle mechanism is manually or electrically driven to move in one direction to complete one pressure needle operation; (4.2) Observe whether all the spring needles are attracted to the electromagnet (the electromagnet without power); (4.3) If all the magnets are attracted to the electromagnet, there is no need to adjust the adjustment components. (4.4) If there are spring needles that are not attracted to the electromagnet, control the driving cylinder on the side that is not attracted to adjust the adjusting rod, and repeat steps (4.1)-(4.2) until all spring needles can be attracted to the electromagnet.

[0067] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the invention.
