[0002] Computerized flat knitting machines, also known as flat knitting machines, are used for fabric weaving. During the manufacturing process, a pulling device is needed to pull the woven fabric. Currently, rollers or pulling rakes are commonly used for pulling. The pulling rake hooks the woven fabric with a hook and pulls it down. After completing one pulling action, the pulling hook retracts and returns to its original position for the next pulling action.
[0003] Chinese patent CN113026191B discloses a pulling mechanism for a horizontal knitting machine, which uses a motor to drive a rack to rise, thereby pushing the pulling rake to rise and fall, thus pulling the knitted fabric.
[0004] However, the aforementioned patents are not convenient for pulling specific parts of the woven fabric, and when it is necessary to gradually pull from a certain direction, multiple sets of drive devices are required for separate control, which is inconvenient to use.

[0021] To better achieve the objectives of this invention, the present invention also provides a method for using the pull-down device of a computerized flat knitting machine, comprising the following steps:
[0022] Step 1: When it is necessary to gradually pull the fabric in a certain direction, start the lifting motor of the lifting component drive assembly. The lifting motor pushes the lifting slider through the synchronous belt assembly. The lifting slider slides along the lifting guide rail through the lifting pulley. During the sliding process, the push wheel on the support rod of the push wheel assembly makes oblique contact with the bottom of the inclined bottom block and rolls along the inclined side to lift the inclined bottom block. This drives the pulling slider of the sliding component of the pulling assembly to slide upward along the pulling guide rail, thereby driving the swing arm of the pressing component to move upward. When the swing arm moves upward, the sliding shaft slides along the guide plate, the spring extends, and drives the swing arm to rotate, thereby driving the pulling rake head to extend out of the pulling groove to pull the woven fabric.
[0023] Step 2: The push wheel then continues to move away from the sloping bottom block. The sloping bottom block is driven by gravity to reset the swing arm. The swing arm pulls the fabric and, under the limit of the guide plate, drives the pulling rake head to retract into the outer shell. After pulling a certain distance, it separates from the woven fabric. At this time, the push wheel continues to lift another set of adjacent sloping bottom blocks and continues to pull the woven fabric.
[0024] Step 3: When it is necessary to retract the swing arm, the limit motor drives the transmission shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the cam to rotate, causing the cam to press the swing arm inward. Each set of swing arms retracts inward and drives the pulling rake head to retract into the pulling groove.
[0025] The present invention has the following technical effects:
[0026] 1. This invention can achieve partial material pulling by pushing the wheel to lift the inclined bottom block, and by driving the lifting slider to slide through the lifting motor, the inclined bottom block can be pushed and lowered one by one, which can achieve gradual material pulling in a certain direction. By setting multiple sets of lifting motors and lifting sliders, material pulling in multiple areas can be achieved separately, which is convenient for more complex material pulling operations.
[0027] 2. This invention uses a spring to push the swing arm, which allows the swing arm to extend the pulling rake head during its upward movement, thereby automatically pulling. The structure is simpler and easier to use.
[0028] 3. When the swing arm is retracted, the limit motor drives the transmission shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the cam to rotate, causing the cam to press the swing arm inward. Each set of swing arms retracts inward and drives the pulling rake head to retract into the pulling groove. When it is necessary to stop pulling, it quickly disengages from the woven fabric, reducing deviation. Attached Figure Description

[0044] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1-8 A pull-down device for a computerized flat knitting machine, comprising a support 1;
[0045] The lower end of the support 1 is equipped with a lifting component 2 for lifting a single pulling rake, and the upper end of the support 1 is equipped with a pulling component 3 for pulling the woven fabric and a limiting component 4 for limiting the opening and closing of the lifting component 2.
[0046] The bottom of the bracket 1 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the outer shell 5. The bracket 1, the lifting component 2, the pulling component 3 and the limiting component 4 are all located inside the outer shell 5. Multiple sets of pulling grooves 6 are opened at the upper end of the side wall of the outer shell 5.
[0047] The lifting assembly 2 includes a drive assembly 21 and a pusher assembly 22; the lower end of the support 1 is equipped with the drive assembly 21, and the movable end of the drive assembly 21 is connected to the pusher assembly 22; the top block end of the pusher assembly 22 is connected to the traction assembly 3.
[0048] The drive assembly 21 includes a lifting motor 211, a synchronous belt assembly 212, a lifting guide rail 213, a lifting slider 214, and lifting pulleys 215. At least one set of lifting motors 211 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the bracket 1, and each lifting motor 211 is connected to a set of synchronous belt assemblies 212. The pulleys at one end of the synchronous belt assembly 212 are fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting motor 211, and the pulleys at the other end of the synchronous belt assembly 212 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the bracket 1. The synchronous belt side wall of the synchronous belt assembly 212 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lifting slider 214. A lifting guide rail 213 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the side wall of the bracket 1. Multiple sets of lifting pulleys 215 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the lifting slider 214, and the lifting pulleys 215 are rollingly connected to the lifting guide rail 213. The lifting slider 214 is connected to the push wheel assembly 22.
[0049] Preferably, there are three sets of lifting motors 211, two sets of lifting motors 211 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the bracket 1, and the output end of the other set of lifting motors 211 is higher than the other two sets.
[0050] Preferably, each set of lifting sliders 214 is connected to four sets of lifting pulleys 215, and the four sets of lifting pulleys 215 are distributed in a rectangular array.
[0051] The pusher assembly 22 includes a support rod 221, a pusher wheel 222, and a sloping bottom block 223; the side walls of the lifting slider 214 are each fixedly connected to the support rod 221, the top of the support rod 221 is connected to the pusher wheel 222, and the upper end of the pusher wheel 222 is in contact with the bottom of the sloping bottom block 223; the sloping bottom block 223 is connected to the traction assembly 3.
[0052] Preferably, the push wheel 222 is rotatably connected to the top of the support rod 221.
[0053] Preferably, the bottom shape of the sloping bottom block 223 is an isosceles triangle.
[0054] When the present invention is in operation, if it is necessary to gradually pull the fabric in a certain direction, the lifting motor 211 of the drive assembly 21 of the lifting assembly 2 is activated. The lifting motor 211 pushes the lifting slider 214 through the synchronous belt assembly 212. The lifting slider 214 slides along the lifting guide rail 213 through the lifting pulley 215. During the sliding process, the push wheel 222 on the support rod 221 of the push wheel assembly 22 makes oblique contact with the bottom of the inclined bottom block 223 and rolls along the inclined side to lift the inclined bottom block 223, driving the pulling assembly 3 to rise and hooking the fabric after being lifted to the highest point. Then the push wheel 222 continues to... As the material continues to move away from the inclined bottom block 223, the inclined bottom block 223 is pulled down by gravity, causing the traction component 3 to fall. At this time, the push wheel 222 continues to lift another set of adjacent inclined bottom blocks 223, continuing to pull the woven fabric. By lifting the inclined bottom block 223 with the push wheel 222, partial material pulling can be achieved. Furthermore, by driving the lifting slider 214 to slide through the lifting motor 211, the inclined bottom blocks 223 can be pushed and lowered one by one, thus achieving gradual material pulling in one direction. By setting multiple sets of lifting motors 211 and lifting sliders 214, material pulling in multiple areas can be achieved separately, facilitating more complex material pulling actions.
[0055] Example 2
[0056] like Figure 1-8 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the traction component 3 includes a sliding component 31 and a pressing component 32; multiple sets of sliding components 31 are installed on the upper side wall of the bracket 1, and the movable ends of the sliding components 31 are respectively connected to the pressing components 32; the movable end of the pressing component 32 is connected to the limiting component 4.
[0057] Preferably, the sliding components 31 are evenly arranged in the horizontal direction.
[0058] The sliding component 31 includes a pull guide rail 311 and a pull slider 312; the pull guide rail 311 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the side wall of the bracket 1; the pull slider 312 is slidably connected to the upper limit of the side wall of the pull guide rail 311; the lower end of the side wall of the pull slider 312 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the side wall of the inclined bottom block 223; the pull slider 312 is connected to the pressing component 32.
[0059] The pressing assembly 32 includes ear plates 321, slide grooves 322, slide shafts 323, swing arms 324, springs 325, and pulling rake heads 326. Multiple sets of ear plates 321 are fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the pulling slider 312, and each ear plate 321 has a slide groove 322. The side wall of the slide shaft 323 is slidably connected to the slide groove 322, and the side wall of the slide shaft 323 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the swing arm 324. The lower end of the swing arm 324 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the pulling slider 312, and the upper end of the swing arm 324 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the pulling rake head 326. The front and rear ends of the spring 325 are respectively connected to the rear side wall of the swing arm 324 and the front side wall of the pulling slider 312.
[0060] Multiple sets of guide plates 327 are installed on the upper side wall of the bracket 1, and one end of each set of sliding shafts 323 is slidably connected to the side wall of one set of guide plates 327.

[0063] When the fabric needs to be gradually pulled in a certain direction during operation, the inclined bottom block 223 of the pusher assembly 22 of the lifting assembly 2 drives the pulling slider 312 of the sliding assembly 31 of the pulling assembly 3 to slide upward along the pulling guide rail 311, thereby driving the swing arm 324 of the pressing assembly 32 to move upward; when the swing arm 324 moves upward, the sliding shaft 323 slides along the guide plate 327, the spring 325 extends, driving the swing arm 324 to rotate, thereby driving the pulling rake head 326 from the pulling position. The puller extends from the groove 6 to pull the woven fabric; then the inclined bottom block 223 descends, driving the swing arm 324 to reset. The swing arm 324 pulls the fabric and, under the limit of the guide plate 327, drives the pulling rake head 326 to retract into the outer shell 5, separating from the woven fabric after pulling a certain distance; the swing arm 324 is pushed by the spring 325, so that the swing arm 324 can drive the pulling rake head 326 to extend during the upward movement, thereby automatically pulling. The structure is simpler and easier to use.
[0064] Example 3
[0065] like Figure 1-8 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the limiting component 4 includes a limiting motor 41, a transmission shaft 42, and cams 43; the limiting motor 41 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the side wall of the bracket 1; one end of the transmission shaft 42 is connected to the output end of the limiting motor 41 via a synchronous belt, and the other end of the transmission shaft 42 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the bracket 1; multiple sets of cams 43 are fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 42, the number of cams 43 is the same as the number of swing arms 324, and each set of cams 43 is located in front of a set of swing arms.
[0066] Preferably, the cams 43 are evenly arranged along the drive shaft 42.
[0067] Preferably, multiple sets of drive shaft brackets 44 are fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the bracket 1, and the side walls of the drive shaft brackets 44 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the drive shaft 42.
[0068] When the present invention is in operation, when it is necessary to retract the swing arm 324, the limit motor 41 drives the transmission shaft 42 to rotate, thereby driving the cam 43 to rotate, so that the cam 43 presses the swing arm 324 inward. Each set of swing arms 324 retracts inward and drives the pulling rake head 326 to retract into the pulling groove 6. When it is necessary to stop pulling, it quickly disengages from the woven fabric and reduces deviation.
[0069] Example 4
[0070] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1-8 A method for using the pull-down device of a computerized flat knitting machine includes the following steps:
[0071] Step 1: When it is necessary to gradually pull the fabric in a certain direction, start the lifting motor 211 of the drive component 21 of the lifting assembly 2. The lifting motor 211 pushes the lifting slider 214 through the synchronous belt assembly 212. The lifting slider 214 slides along the lifting guide rail 213 through the lifting pulley 215. During the sliding process, the push wheel 222 on the support rod 221 of the push wheel assembly 22 makes oblique contact with the bottom of the inclined bottom block 223 and rolls along the inclined side to lift the inclined bottom block 223. This drives the pulling slider 312 of the sliding component 31 of the pulling assembly 3 to slide upward along the pulling guide rail 311, thereby driving the swing arm 324 of the pressing assembly 32 to move upward. When the swing arm 324 moves upward, the sliding shaft 323 slides along the guide plate 327, the spring 325 extends, and the swing arm 324 rotates, thereby driving the pulling rake head 326 to extend out from the pulling groove 6 to pull the woven fabric.
[0072] Step 2: Then, the push wheel 222 continues to move away from the inclined bottom block 223. The inclined bottom block 223 is driven by gravity to reset the swing arm 324. The swing arm 324 pulls the fabric and, under the limit of the guide plate 327, drives the pulling rake head 326 to retract into the outer shell 5. After pulling a certain distance, it separates from the woven fabric. At this time, the push wheel 222 continues to lift another set of adjacent inclined bottom blocks 223 and continues to pull the woven fabric.
[0073] Step 3: When it is necessary to retract the swing arm 324, the limit motor 41 drives the transmission shaft 42 to rotate, thereby driving the cam 43 to rotate, so that the cam 43 presses the swing arm 324 inward, and each set of swing arms 324 retracts inward and drives the pulling rake head 326 to retract into the pulling groove 6.
[0074] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.

The front and rear ends of the spring (325) are respectively connected to the rear side wall of the swing arm (324) and the front side wall of the pulling slider (312).
6. The pull-down device of the computerized flat knitting machine as described in claim 5, characterized in that, The bracket (1) has multiple sets of guide plates (327) installed on the upper side wall. One end of each set of sliding shafts (323) is slidably connected to the side wall of one set of guide plates (327).
7. The pull-down device of the computerized flat knitting machine as described in claim 6, characterized in that, The rear sidewall of the swing arm (324) and the front sidewall of the traction slider (312) are both provided with grooves for embedding springs (325). The front and rear ends of the springs (325) are respectively in contact with the inner walls of the grooves on the rear sidewall of the swing arm (324) and the front sidewall of the traction slider (312).
8. A method of using the pull-down device of a computerized flat knitting machine as described in claim 7, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 1: When it is necessary to gradually pull the fabric in a certain direction, start the lifting motor (211) of the drive assembly (21) of the lifting assembly (2). The lifting motor (211) pushes the lifting slider (214) through the synchronous belt assembly (212). The lifting slider (214) slides along the lifting guide rail (213) through the lifting pulley (215). During the sliding process, the push wheel (222) on the support rod (221) of the push wheel assembly (22) makes oblique contact with the bottom of the inclined bottom block (223) and moves along the... The inclined side rolls up the inclined bottom block (223), which drives the sliding component (31) of the traction component (3) to slide the traction slider (312) upward along the traction guide rail (311), thereby driving the swing arm (324) of the pressing component (32) to move upward; when the swing arm (324) moves upward, the sliding shaft (323) slides along the guide plate (327), the spring (325) extends, driving the swing arm (324) to rotate, thereby driving the traction rake head (326) to extend out from the traction groove (6) to pull the woven fabric; Step 2: The push wheel (222) then continues to move away from the inclined bottom block (223). The inclined bottom block (223) is driven by gravity to reset the swing arm (324). The swing arm (324) pulls the fabric and, under the limit of the guide plate (327), drives the pulling rake head (326) to retract back into the outer shell (5). After pulling a certain distance, it separates from the woven fabric. At this time, the push wheel (222) continues to lift another set of adjacent inclined bottom blocks (223) and continues to pull the woven fabric. Step 3: When it is necessary to retract the swing arm (324), the limit motor (41) drives the transmission shaft (42) to rotate, thereby driving the cam (43) to rotate, so that the cam (43) presses the swing arm (324) inward. Each set of swing arms (324) retracts inward and drives the pulling rake head (326) to retract into the pulling groove (6).
