Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of textiles, and in particular relates to a tassel forming and knitting method. Background Art

[0002] Tassels (yarn) on knitted fabrics are woven into the main fabric at one end, while the other end hangs down. These loose, ear-like ornaments sway and flutter in the wind. Traditionally, they are crocheted by hand, which is labor-intensive and results in inconsistent tightness and poor uniformity.

[0003] At present, the Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN112553756B discloses a process for preventing tassels from falling apart when knitting sweaters. When knitting the tassel structure, the first needle bed and the second needle bed simultaneously knit the coils, and then the knitting needles knitted into loops on the second needle bed are transferred to the first needle bed to form a surrounding coil on the coil of the first needle bed at the edge of the tassel structure.

[0004] The above process describes the closed-needle knitting of a part of the weft flat fabric where no needles are pulled out. During knitting, the knitting yarn passes through this part, forming a discontinuous knitting of horizontal knitting yarns. It is a traditional floating line knitting process, which is completely different from tassel knitting.

[0005] A Chinese patent with authorization publication number CN113550057B discloses a knitting method and a knitted fabric for knitted tassels, the method comprising: knitting the knitted yarn into a base fabric by a computerized flat knitting machine according to a preset knitting scheme, and then preparing the tassels according to method a or method b; wherein method a comprises: preparing a virtual jacquard fabric on the surface of the base fabric, and then cutting the floating threads in the virtual jacquard fabric according to a preset length of the tassel so that the two floating threads after cutting naturally droop to form a tassel; method b comprises: knitting an alanhua fabric or a cable knit on the surface of the base fabric, and then knitting a jacquard pattern on the basis of the alanhua fabric or the cable knit as needed, and then knitting the tassels around the jacquard pattern.

[0006] The above process describes a traditional process for adding a floating yarn structure to jacquard or cable knitted on a computerized flat knitting machine. From the start of knitting to the end of the fabric drop, no woven tassels are present. The tassels are formed by the natural drooping of two floating yarn segments after the floating yarns are cut off from the computerized flat knitting machine (through an external non-woven process). The tassels produced by this process have limitations in their placement, direction, and length. Furthermore, the base of the knitted fabric can become unraveled and rippled, damaging the main fabric structure at the junction. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In order to improve the problem that the braided structure at the root of the tassel is easily damaged, the present invention provides a tassel forming and braiding method, and the specific technical solution is as follows:

[0008] A tassel forming and knitting method, the specific steps are as follows:

[0009] (1) Computerized flat knitting machine weaves weft flat fabrics. The flat knitting machine head drives the yarn guide to move from right to left, and the yarn is hung on the front needle bed and the back needle bed with one needle between them.

[0010] (2) The flat knitting machine head drives the yarn guide to move from left to right. Two of the knitting needles on the front needle bed are knitting needle 1 and knitting needle 2, and one of the knitting needles on the rear needle bed is knitting needle 2. Knitting needle 1, knitting needle 2 and knitting needle 2 participate in knitting;

[0011] (3) Rock the bed to the left, align the needle 1 on the front needle bed with the second needle on the back needle bed, and turn the loop on the needle 1 onto the second needle;

[0012] (4) Rock the bed to the right, align the second needle on the front needle bed with the first needle on the back needle bed and turn the loop on the second needle onto the first needle; this creates an overlapping loop at the base of the tassel, and the knitting is locked;

[0013] (5) The front needle bed and the rear needle bed are reset, and the flat knitting machine head drives the yarn guide to move from right to left. The yarn guide guides the yarn of the weft flat fabric to be fed and hooked on several empty knitting needles 3 on the front needle bed to form tassels. The several empty knitting needles 3 are all located on the side of knitting needle 2 away from knitting needle 1, and the several empty knitting needles 3 are arranged at intervals;

[0014] (6) The head of the flat knitting machine drives the yarn guide to move from left to right, and the yarn guide guides the yarn to be fed and hooked on a plurality of vacant knitting needles (four) on the front needle bed to form the first tassel. The plurality of vacant knitting needles (four) are arranged at intervals, and each vacant knitting needle (four) is arranged adjacent to each vacant knitting needle (three); when knitting the tassel, the knitting yarn and the coil are pressed and pulled from top to bottom, such as by using a presser foot to press and pull the knitting yarn and the coil from top to bottom, and the presser foot is driven by a press ring device to press and pull the knitting yarn and the coil from top to bottom;

[0015] (7) Repeat steps (2) to (6) until the tassel weaving is completed.

[0016] In the above steps, if the weft flat fabric is knitted on the front needle bed, the fabric loops gradually turned into the rear needle bed during the tassel knitting process are turned back to the corresponding needle bed needles, and the weft flat knitting is continued. After the weft flat knitting is completed, the fabric is completed;

[0017] If the weft plain fabric is knitted on the rear needle bed, after the tassel is knitted, the rear needle bed continues to knit the weft plain fabric until the fabric is knitted, so that the tassel appears on the purl side of the weft plain fabric.

[0018] Through the above steps, tassels can be woven on the original fabric, and the coils at the roots of the tassels are staggered and overlapped, and the weaving is locked, which can reduce the damage to the weaving structure at the roots of the tassels; and the tassels are pressed and pulled by the presser foot to achieve smooth yarn dropping of the tassels.

[0019] In step (6), the machine head moves from left to right, and while the yarn is hung on the empty needle four, the needles five and six on the front needle bed and the fourth needle on the rear needle bed are knitting at the same time. The needle five is located between the needles two and six, and the second tassel continues to be knitted, which can improve the efficiency of knitting tassels.

[0020] Beneficial technical effects of the present invention:

[0021] 1. By weaving tassels on the original fabric, the coils at the base of the tassels are staggered and overlapped, and the weaving is locked to avoid the woven structure at the base of the tassels being easily damaged; and it can be applied to fabrics with different main structures and a variety of yarn types;

[0022] 2. Use the presser foot to press and pull the yarn and coil to achieve smooth tassel dropping. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
