[0004] The applicant believes the following defects exist:

[0005] Pressing the wax disc down will increase the resistance when the yarn passes through, and will also affect the number of turns of the yarn.

[0006] After the motor is driven, the speed is relatively slow at both the start and end, which can lead to uneven waxing.

[0007] When the yarn is threaded and transmitted, the yarn may become tangled and twisted together.

[0008] To address the above problems, a solution is proposed below. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a yarn guiding mechanism for a flat knitting machine. When the waxing component applies wax, the liquid wax effectively reduces the resistance of the yarn during the yarn passing process, and at the same time solves the problem of uneven waxing. The yarn guiding unit, the twisting unit, and the clamping component can effectively prevent the yarn from tangling and twisting together during the transmission process.

[0010] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0011] A flat knitting machine yarn guiding mechanism includes a frame, a yarn guiding unit, a twist-reducing unit, and a yarn feeding unit;

[0012] The yarn guiding unit is arranged on the frame and is used to guide the yarn through; the twist reducing unit is arranged on the frame and is used to reduce the yarn twist; the yarn conveying unit is arranged on the frame and is used to control the yarn transmission length to remain consistent; wherein, the yarn conveying unit includes a yarn storage device, a waxing component, and a pressing component; the yarn storage device is installed on the frame and is used to convey the yarn to the weaving area;

[0013] The waxing component is installed on the output of the yarn feeder to reduce resistance during transmission after the yarn comes into contact with the liquid wax; the clamping component is installed on the frame to limit the yarn transmitted from the twisting unit to the yarn feeding unit.

[0014] Using the above technical solution, when the yarn is being conducted, it first passes through the yarn guiding unit, which effectively prevents the yarn from tangling during this process. Next, it enters the twist-reducing unit, which reduces the yarn's twist and prevents it from twisting. Finally, it enters the yarn conveying unit, passing through the pressing component. The pressing component orderly winds the yarn onto the yarn storage device, which controls the yarn length, ensuring that the conveyed yarn reaches the weaving area with consistent length. When the yarn passes through the waxing component, the yarn and the waxing component come into contact, reducing the resistance during yarn conduction and ensuring thorough and even contact with the liquid wax, while also preventing yarn breakage.

[0015] Preferably, the waxing component includes a bracket, an adjusting member, and a mating member; the bracket is mounted on the output section of the yarn storer; the mating member is mounted on the bracket and is used to store the wax required for the yarn; the adjusting member is mounted on the bracket and is used to adjust the degree of contact when the yarn is waxed.

[0016] Using the above technical solution, the adjustment component is manually controlled to ensure that the liquid wax and yarn are in full contact, reducing resistance during transmission. The liquid wax can be manually replenished on the adjustment component as needed.

[0017] Preferably, the adjusting component includes a knob, a worm gear, a worm, a rotating shaft, a screw, a connecting block, and an elastic plate. The worm is rotatably arranged on the bracket, and the worm gear and the worm mesh with each other for transmission. The knob is fixed to the worm, the rotating shaft is fixed to the worm gear, the connecting block is fixed to the rotating shaft, one end of the elastic plate contacts the connecting block, the other end of the elastic plate contacts the yarn, and the screw passes through the elastic plate and is threadedly engaged with the connecting block.

[0018] Using the above technical solution, when the knob is manually adjusted, the knob will drive the worm gear transmission, which in turn drives the meshing worm wheel to rotate. The worm wheel, shaft, and connecting block are all fixed as one unit. Therefore, the connecting block also rotates with the worm wheel, and the rotation angle is relatively small. Since the elastic plate is fastened to the connecting block by screws, the angle between the elastic plate and the support platform becomes smaller as the connecting block rotates. The end of the elastic plate away from the screw fastening will continue to squeeze the yarn and the support. Thus, the rotation angle of the knob controls the pressure of the elastic plate on the yarn and the support. The worm gear has strong self-locking properties, and the structure of their cooperation is compact. After manually adjusting the knob, the elastic plate can be kept from rebounding or rotating.

[0019] Preferably, the fitting includes a wax storage tank and a sponge, the wax storage tank and the bracket are threaded together and installed at the bottom of the bracket; one end of the sponge is immersed in the wax storage tank, and the other end of the sponge is located on the bracket and in contact with the yarn.

[0020] Using the above technical solution, liquid wax is placed in the wax storage tank. The wax storage tank is colorless and transparent, making it easy to observe the liquid wax level inside. Part of the sponge is immersed in the liquid wax, and part of it is exposed on the support. The sponge absorbs the liquid wax. When the yarn is being conducted, the elastic sheet presses the yarn against the sponge. Due to the different forces exerted by the elastic sheet on the yarn, the greater the force, the more closely the yarn adheres to the sponge, and the higher the degree of waxing; the smaller the force exerted by the elastic sheet, the less liquid wax the yarn contacts on the sponge.

[0021] Preferably, the yarn guiding unit includes a yarn guide base, a pressure plate, and a clamping component. The yarn guide base is mounted on the frame, and the pressure plate is movably mounted on the yarn guide base. The clamping component is installed between the yarn guide base and the pressure plate to lock the yarn during the transmission process.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressure plate is removed from the yarn guide, the fastening effect of the clamping device on the pressure plate and the base of the yarn guide is released, the yarn passes through the middle of the clamping device, and passes through the through hole at one end of the base of the yarn guide to the other end. The fastening effect of the clamping device locks the pressure plate and the base of the yarn guide after the yarn is passed through, preventing the yarn from coming out of the pressure plate during the transmission process.

[0023] Preferably, the clamping component includes a sleeve and a rod, the sleeve being mounted on the pressure plate and the rod being mounted on the yarn guide base, the sleeve and the rod being engaged in a clamping fit.

[0024] Using the above technical solution, the sleeve and the sleeve rod cooperate with each other, the sleeve and the sleeve rod are arranged in a circle, and the number of both is the same. After clamping, the sleeve and the sleeve rod correspond one-to-one.

[0025] Preferably, the twist-reducing unit includes a twist-reducing disc and a twist-reducing roller. The twist-reducing disc is mounted on the frame and arranged at both ends of the twist-reducing roller. The twist-reducing roller has a threaded groove, and a sealing plate for sealing yarn conduction is installed in the threaded groove. The sealing plate and the twist-reducing roller are engaged by a magnetic attraction component.

[0026] Using the above technical solution, the twisting disc is provided with threading holes. During the threading process, the yarn enters through the threading hole at one end, winds along the thread groove onto the twisting roller, and exits through the threading hole at the other end. The thread groove is sealed by the sealing plate section through magnetic attraction. The magnetic attraction component uses magnetic strips and iron strips. The magnetic strip is embedded in one side of the sealing plate, and the iron strip is embedded in one side of the thread groove. The sealing plate is arranged along the thread groove. Moving the sealing plate will secure the sealing plate and the other end of the thread groove together through magnetic attraction.

[0027] Preferably, the clamping component includes a pull rod, a mounting bracket, a first locking gear, a second locking gear, a guide wheel, and a spring. The mounting bracket is mounted on the machine frame, and the guide wheels are respectively mounted on the first and second locking gears that are close to each other. The gap formed between adjacent guide wheels is used to conduct yarn. The pull rod passes through the mounting bracket and is fixed to the second locking gear. One end of the spring is fixed to the mounting bracket, and the other end of the spring is fixed to the second locking gear. The spring is sleeved on the pull rod.

[0028] Using the above technical solution, when the yarn is threaded, the pull rod is manually pulled, and the pull rod drives the second locking gear and the guide wheel located on the second locking gear to move towards the side of force application. The yarn is threaded between the guide wheel between the first locking gear and the second locking gear, and is reset by the elastic force. The second locking gear moves closer to the first locking gear and fits together.

[0029] Preferably, the bracket is also equipped with a clamping component, which includes a torsion spring, a connecting roller, and a clamping plate. The clamping plate is hinged to the bracket, the connecting roller and the clamping plate are rotatably engaged, the torsion spring is sleeved on the connecting roller, one end of the torsion spring is fixed to the clamping plate, the other end of the torsion spring is fixed to the connecting roller, and the end of the sponge is clamped between the clamping plate and the bracket.

[0030] Using the above technical solution, when the sponge is placed on the bracket, the clamping plate is flipped over, and one end of the sponge is clamped to the side of the bracket through the clamping plate. At the same time, the clamping plate and the bracket are kept in a clamping state for the sponge by the action of the torsion spring.

[0031] Beneficial effects: 1. In this invention, when the yarn passes through the waxing component, the yarn and liquid wax come into full contact, reducing the resistance of the yarn when passing through the waxing component;

[0032] The elastic sheet presses the yarn and sponge together, ensuring that the yarn remains uniform during waxing.

[0033] The yarn guiding unit, twist reducing unit, and clamping component play a good role in limiting and guiding the yarn during transmission, preventing the yarn from tangling and twisting during transmission. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0047] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0048] This embodiment provides a yarn guiding mechanism for a flat knitting machine. See Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the machine includes a frame 1, a yarn guiding unit 2, a twist-reducing unit 3, and a yarn feeding unit 4. The yarn guiding unit 2 is arranged on the frame 1 to guide the yarn through the machine. The twist-reducing unit 3 is arranged on the frame 1 to reduce the twist of the yarn. The yarn feeding unit 4 is arranged on the frame 1 to control the yarn transmission length to remain consistent. The yarn feeding unit 4 includes a yarn storage device 41, a waxing component 42, and a clamping component 43. The yarn storage device 41 is installed on the frame 1 to transport the yarn to the weaving area. The waxing component 42 is installed on the output part of the yarn storage device 41 to reduce the resistance during transmission after the yarn comes into contact with the liquid wax. The clamping component 43 is installed on the frame 1 to limit the yarn transmitted from the twist-reducing unit 3 to the yarn feeding unit 4.

[0049] See Figure 5As shown, the waxing component 42 includes a bracket 421, an adjusting member 422, and a mating member 423. The bracket 421 is mounted on the output section of the yarn feeder 41. The mating member 423 is mounted on the bracket 421 and is used to store the wax required for the yarn. The adjusting member 422 is mounted on the bracket 421 and is used to adjust the degree of contact between the yarn and the wax during waxing. The adjusting member 422 is manually controlled to ensure that the liquid wax and the yarn are in full contact, reducing resistance during transmission. The mating member 423 can be manually replenished with the required amount of liquid wax as needed.

[0050] See Figure 8 As shown, the adjusting component 422 includes a knob 4221, a worm gear, a worm 4222, a rotating shaft 4223, a screw 4224, a connecting block 4226, and an elastic plate 4225. The worm 4222 is rotatably arranged on the bracket 421. The worm gear and the worm 4222 mesh with each other for transmission. The knob 4221 is fixed on the worm 4222. The rotating shaft 4223 is fixed to the worm gear. The connecting block 4226 is fixed to the rotating shaft 4223. One end of the elastic plate 4225 contacts the connecting block 4226, and the other end of the elastic plate 4225 contacts the yarn. The screw 4224 passes through the elastic plate 4225 and the connecting block 4226 for threaded engagement.

[0051] When the knob 4221 is manually adjusted, it drives the worm gear 4222, which in turn drives the meshing worm wheel to rotate. The worm wheel, shaft 4223, and connecting block 4226 are all fixed together. Therefore, the connecting block 4226 also rotates with the worm wheel, but the rotation angle is relatively small. Since the elastic plate 4225 is fastened to the connecting block 4226 by screws 4224, the angle between the elastic plate 4225 and the platform of the bracket 421 becomes smaller as the connecting block 4226 rotates. The end of the elastic plate 4225 that is away from the screw 4224 will continue to squeeze the yarn and the bracket 421. Thus, the rotation angle of the knob 4221 controls the pressure of the elastic plate 4225 on the yarn and the bracket 421. The worm gear and worm wheel 4222 have strong self-locking properties and a compact structure. After manually adjusting the knob 4221, the elastic plate 4225 can be kept from rebounding or rotating.

[0052] See Figure 8 As shown, the mating part 423 includes a wax storage tank 4231 and a sponge 4232. The wax storage tank 4231 is threadedly engaged with the bracket 421 and is installed at the bottom of the bracket 421. One end of the sponge 4232 is immersed in the wax storage tank 4231, and the other end of the sponge 4232 is located on the bracket 421 and in contact with the yarn.

[0053] Liquid wax is placed inside the wax storage tank 4231. The wax storage tank 4231 is colorless and transparent, making it easy to observe the liquid wax level inside. The sponge 4232 is partially immersed in the liquid wax and partially exposed on the support 421. The sponge 4232 absorbs the liquid wax. When the yarn is being conducted, the elastic sheet 4225 presses the yarn against the sponge 4232. Due to the different forces exerted by the elastic sheet 4225 on the yarn, the greater the force exerted, the more closely the yarn adheres to the sponge 4232, and the higher the degree of waxing. The smaller the force exerted by the elastic sheet 4225, the less liquid wax the yarn contacts on the sponge 4232.

[0054] See Figure 4 As shown, the yarn guiding unit 2 includes a yarn guide base 21, a pressure plate 22, and a clamping member 23. The yarn guide base 21 is mounted on the frame 1, and the pressure plate 22 is movably mounted on the yarn guide base 21. The clamping member 23 is installed between the yarn guide base 21 and the pressure plate 22 to lock the yarn during the transmission process.

[0055] Remove the pressure plate 22 from the yarn guide. The fastening effect of the clamping member 23 on the pressure plate 22 and the yarn guide base 21 is released. The yarn passes through the middle of the clamping member 23 and through the through hole at one end of the yarn guide base 21 to the through hole at the other end. The fastening effect of the clamping member 23 locks the pressure plate 22 and the yarn guide base 21 after the yarn is passed through, preventing the yarn from coming out of the pressure plate 22 during the transmission process.

[0056] See Figure 4 As shown, the clamping component 23 includes a sleeve 231 and a rod 232. The sleeve 231 is mounted on the pressure plate 22, and the rod 232 is mounted on the yarn guide base 21. The sleeve 231 and the rod 232 are engaged. The sleeve 231 and the rod 232 cooperate with each other, and the sleeve 231 and the rod 232 are arranged in a circle, and the number of both is the same. After clamping, the sleeve 231 and the rod 232 correspond one-to-one.

[0057] See Figure 2 As shown, the twisting unit 3 includes a twisting disc 31 and a twisting roller 32. The twisting disc 31 is mounted on the frame 1 and arranged at both ends of the twisting roller. The twisting roller 32 has a threaded groove, and a sealing plate for sealing the yarn conduction is installed in the threaded groove. The sealing plate and the twisting roller 32 are engaged by a magnetic attraction component.

[0058] The anti-twist disc 31 has a threading hole. During the threading process, the yarn enters through the threading hole at one end, winds along the thread groove onto the anti-twist roller 32, and exits through the threading hole at the other end. The thread groove is sealed by the sealing plate section through magnetic attraction. The magnetic attraction component uses magnetic strips and iron strips. The magnetic strip is embedded in one side of the sealing plate, and the iron strip is embedded in one side of the thread groove. The sealing plate is arranged along the thread groove. Moving the sealing plate will secure the sealing plate and the other end of the thread groove together through magnetic attraction.

[0059] See Figure 7 As shown, the clamping component 43 includes a pull rod 431, a mounting bracket 432, a locking gear one, a locking gear two, a guide wheel 435, and a spring 436. The mounting bracket 432 is mounted on the frame 1. The guide wheels 435 are respectively mounted on the locking gear one and locking gear two, which are close to each other. The gap formed between adjacent guide wheels 435 is used to conduct the yarn. The pull rod 431 passes through the mounting bracket 432 and is fixed to the locking gear two. One end of the spring 436 is fixed to the mounting bracket 432, and the other end of the spring 436 is fixed to the locking gear two. The spring 436 is sleeved on the pull rod 431. When the yarn is threaded, the pull rod 431 is manually pulled. The pull rod 431 drives the locking gear two and the guide wheel 435 located on the locking gear two to move towards the side of the applied force. The yarn is threaded between the guide wheels 435 between the locking gear one and the locking gear two. It returns to its original position by the elastic force, and the locking gear two moves closer to the locking gear one and fits together.

[0060] See Figure 9 As shown, a clamping component 4211 is also installed on the bracket 421. The clamping component 4211 includes a torsion spring 42111, a connecting roller 42112, and a clamping plate 42113. The clamping plate 42113 is hinged to the bracket 421. The connecting roller 42112 and the clamping plate 42113 are rotatably engaged. The torsion spring 42111 is sleeved on the connecting roller 42112. One end of the torsion spring 42111 is fixed to the clamping plate 42113, and the other end of the torsion spring 42111 is fixed to the connecting roller 42112. The end of the sponge 4232 is clamped between the clamping plate 42113 and the bracket 421. When the sponge 4232 is placed on the bracket 421, the clamping plate 42113 is flipped over, and one end of the sponge 4232 is clamped to the side of the bracket 421 through the clamping plate 42113. At the same time, the clamping plate 42113 and the bracket 421 always keep the sponge 4232 in a clamping state by the torsion spring 42111.

[0061] During the yarn transmission process, the yarn first passes through the yarn guiding unit 2, which effectively prevents the yarn from tangling during this process. Next, it enters the twist reducing unit 3, which reduces the twist of the yarn and prevents the yarn from twisting. Finally, it enters the yarn conveying unit 4 and passes through the pressing component 43. The pressing component 43 guides the orderly transmission of the yarn and winds it onto the yarn storage device 41. The yarn storage device 41 can control the length of the yarn, ensuring that the conveyed yarn is delivered to the weaving area and that the conveyed length remains consistent. When the yarn passes through the waxing component 42, the yarn and the waxing component 42 come into contact with each other. The waxing component 42 reduces the resistance during the yarn transmission process and ensures that the yarn comes into full and even contact with the liquid wax, while also preventing the yarn from breaking.

[0062] When the yarn passes through the waxing component 42, the yarn and liquid wax come into full contact, reducing the resistance of the yarn during the process. The elastic sheet 4225 presses the yarn and sponge 4232 together, ensuring that the yarn is always evenly waxed. The yarn guiding unit 2, the twist-reducing unit 3, and the pressing component 43 provide good limiting and guiding for the yarn during transmission, preventing the yarn from tangling and twisting.

[0063] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
