Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of knitting needle detector installation, and particularly to a mounting bracket for a knitting needle detector. Background Art

[0002] A circular knitting machine, scientifically named a circular weft knitting machine, has developed rapidly because it has many loop-forming systems, high rotational speed, high output, fast pattern change, good fabric quality, few processes, and strong product adaptability. A knitting needle is a main loop-forming part on a knitting machine, which is used to knit yarns into loops and connect the loops in series to form a knitted fabric. The structure and shape of the knitting needle affect the knitting loop-forming process, the productivity of the knitting machine, and the quality of the product, and are an important basis for the design of the knitting machine. Therefore, on existing circular knitting machines, a knitting needle detector is set to monitor in real time whether the knitting needle is bent, broken, damaged, etc.

[0003] Since the detector needs a certain angle and height to align with the knitting needle, in the prior art, the knitting needle detector for detection is generally fixed by a mounting bracket, and then a portal bracket is set to connect with the mounting bracket, so as to install the knitting needle detector on the fixed table of the knitting machine through the portal bracket.

[0004] The existing mounting bracket is generally composed of a fixed sleeve and a lower bracket. By splicing the fixed sleeve and the lower bracket with each other, and then using bolts to connect the fixed sleeve and the lower bracket to clamp and fix the knitting needle detector. At the same time, some adjustment structures and fine-tuning structures are provided at the fixed sleeve and the lower bracket to adjust the knitting needle detector. This structure has a very high adjustment accuracy. In the case of some fine needles, it can effectively ensure that the knitting needle detector accurately aligns with the fine needle for monitoring.

[0005] However, this structure is relatively complex. Although the adjustment accuracy is very high, when detecting some thick needles, it is not necessary to adjust the knitting needle detector so precisely. It only needs to simply align the knitting needle detector with the knitting needle. At present, most of the knitting machines on the market use thick needles. If such a high-precision mounting bracket is still used, although it can meet the requirements, the cost of this bracket is too high, which will cause waste of resources and too high cost. At the same time, it is also relatively laborious for the staff to install and subsequently adjust the knitting needle detector with this bracket, and the work efficiency is low. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a mounting bracket for a knitting needle detector, which solves the problems that the existing bracket for installing the knitting needle detector has a complex structure, and if this kind of bracket is still used for monitoring the work of thick needles, it will waste a lot of costs and the subsequent installation and adjustment processes are also relatively laborious.

[0007] To achieve the above object, in a first aspect of the present disclosure, a mounting bracket for a knitting needle detector is provided, including:

[0008] A mounting block;

[0009] Arc-shaped clamping plates, two of which are provided, and the two arc-shaped clamping plates are connected to both sides of the mounting block for clamping the knitting needle detector;

[0010] A locking mechanism is provided on the mounting block and connected to the two arc-shaped clamping plates to lock and fix the knitting needle detector to the two arc-shaped clamping plates.

[0011] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism includes:

[0012] A connecting piece, one end of which is connected to the mounting block and the other end is disposed opposite to the mounting block, and a threaded hole is provided on the connecting piece;

[0013] An adjusting bolt is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, and the end of the adjusting bolt penetrates through the mounting block and abuts against the knitting needle detector.

[0014] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism further includes a pressing block;

[0015] A slotted groove is provided on the mounting block, the pressing block is disposed in the slotted groove, and one side of the pressing block away from the bottom of the slotted groove abuts against the knitting needle detector;

[0016] The adjusting bolt penetrates through the mounting block and is rotatably connected to the pressing block.

[0017] In some embodiments, the width of the pressing block is the same as the width of the slotted groove.

[0018] In some embodiments, cutting grooves are provided on both sides of the pressing block to form clamping portions on both sides of the pressing block;

[0019] Limiting blocks are provided at positions on both sides of the slotted groove close to the arc-shaped clamping plates;

[0020] When the side of the pressing block away from the arc-shaped clamping plate fits against the bottom of the slotted groove, there is a gap between the clamping portion and the limiting block, and after the clamping portion contacts the limiting block, the end of the pressing block away from the bottom of the slotted groove can extend into the space formed by the two arc-shaped clamping plates.

[0021] In some embodiments, opposite sides of the knitting needle detector are provided as planar to form planar portions, and the linear distance between the two planar portions is the same as the linear distance between the ends of the two arc-shaped clamping plates away from the mounting plate.

[0022] In some embodiments, the connecting member includes an arc-shaped connecting portion and a transverse connecting portion that are integrally connected. One end of the arc-shaped connecting portion is connected to the mounting block, and the transverse connecting portion is disposed opposite to the mounting block;

[0023] The threaded hole is disposed on the transverse connecting portion.

[0024] In some embodiments, mounting holes are provided on the transverse connecting portion.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, through the arrangement of the mounting block, the arc-shaped clamping plate and the locking mechanism, when installing the knitting needle detector, the knitting needle detector can be directly inserted into the two arc-shaped clamping plates, and the knitting needle detector can be locked between the two arc-shaped clamping plates by using the locking structure, so as to realize the fixation of the knitting needle detector. The overall structure of this kind of mounting bracket is relatively simple, the manufacturing cost is low, which greatly improves the economic benefit. At the same time, it is more convenient to operate, improves the work efficiency of the staff. In addition, since this mounting bracket is for monitoring thick needles on the knitting machine, there is no need to perform complex fine-tuning on the knitting needle detector. After being fixed in this way, the monitoring of the knitting needles can be completely realized.

[0035] The following will describe the detailed implementation manners of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed implementation manners described herein are only for explaining and illustrating the present disclosure, and are not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0036] The present disclosure provides a mounting bracket for a knitting needle detector, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown. The mounting bracket for the knitting needle detector includes a mounting block 1, arc-shaped clamping plates 2 and a locking mechanism 3. Among them, there are two arc-shaped clamping plates 2, and the two arc-shaped clamping plates 2 are connected to both sides of the mounting block 1 for clamping the knitting needle detector 4. The locking mechanism 3 is arranged on the mounting block 1 and connected to the two arc-shaped clamping plates 2 to lock and fix the knitting needle detector 4 to the two arc-shaped clamping plates 2.

[0037] Through the setting of such a structure, when installing the knitting needle detector 4, the knitting needle detector 4 can be directly inserted into the two arc-shaped clamping plates 2, and then the knitting needle detector 4 can be locked into the space formed by the two arc-shaped clamping plates 2 by using the locking structure to fix the knitting needle detector 4. Then, other brackets can be used to fix this mounting bracket to complete the installation. The overall structure of such a mounting bracket is relatively simple, the manufacturing cost is low, and the operation is more convenient. In addition, since this mounting bracket is for monitoring the thick needles on the knitting machine, there is no need to perform complex fine-tuning on the knitting needle detector 4. After being fixed in this way, the monitoring of the knitting needles can be completely realized.

[0038] It should be noted that the above-mentioned arc-shaped clamping plates 2 can be made of metal materials and have a certain elasticity. After pressing the knitting needle detector 4 onto the two arc-shaped clamping plates 2, the fixation of the knitting needle detector 4 can be effectively realized.

[0039] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the above-mentioned locking mechanism 3 includes a connecting piece 31 and an adjusting bolt 32. Among them, one end of the connecting piece 31 is connected to the mounting block 1, and the other end is disposed opposite to the mounting block. At the same time, a threaded hole is provided on the connecting piece 31. The adjusting bolt 32 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, and the end of the adjusting bolt 32 penetrates through the mounting block and abuts against the knitting needle detector 4.

[0040] Thus, after the knitting needle detector 4 is inserted between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 2, the adjusting bolt 32 can be tightened relatively, and the end of the adjusting bolt 32 is abutted against the knitting needle detector 4. Then, the adjusting bolt 32 is further tightened to press the knitting needle detector 4 against the two arc-shaped clamping plates 2, thereby realizing the fixation of the knitting needle detector 4. During the pressing process, although the arc-shaped clamping plate 2 has a certain elasticity, due to its material properties and thickness, the knitting needle detector 4 will relatively push the two arc-shaped clamping plates 2 apart by a certain distance, but not too much. In this way, the knitting needle detector 4 can be stably fixed between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 2.

[0041] Further, the locking mechanism 3 further includes a pressing block 33. A slot 11 is provided on the mounting block 1. The pressing block 33 is disposed in the slot 11, and one side of the pressing block 33 away from the bottom of the slot 11 is abutted against the knitting needle detector 4. The adjusting bolt 32 passes through the mounting block 1 and is rotatably connected to the pressing block 33. Wherein, both ends of the slot 11 penetrate through the mounting block 1, and the length of the pressing block 33 is the same as the length of the slot 11.

[0042] In this way, by the arrangement of the pressing block 33, the knitting needle detector 4 can be more comprehensively pressed, changing the original local point contact to the current surface contact, so that the knitting needle detector 4 can be more stably fixed between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 2. At the same time, this also reduces the situation where the knitting needle detector 4 is locally flattened.

[0043] As Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the width of the pressing block 33 is the same as the width of the slot 11.

[0044] In this way, the slot 11 can form a certain limit on the movement of the pressing block 33, avoiding the situation of offset during the movement of the pressing block 33, and ensuring that the pressing block 33 can stably press against the knitting needle detector 4.

[0045] In a further embodiment, as Figures 1-4 shown, cutting grooves are provided on both sides of the pressing block 33 to form clamping portions 331 on both sides of the pressing block 33, that is, the cutting grooves are formed by cutting the two side edges of the pressing block 33 to form the clamping portions 331. In addition, limiting blocks 12 are integrally connected to the positions of both sides of the slot 11 close to the arc-shaped clamping plate 2.

[0046] When the side of the pressing block 33 away from the arc-shaped clamping plate 2 fits against the bottom of the slot 11, there is a gap between the clamping portion 331 and the limiting block 12, and after the clamping portion 331 contacts the limiting block 12, the end of the pressing block 33 away from the bottom of the slot 11 can extend into the space formed by the two arc-shaped clamping plates 2.

[0047] In this way, when the driving pressing block 33 presses the knitting needle detector 4, the limiting block 12 can limit the movement of the pressing block 33 to a certain extent, preventing the pressing block 33 from moving too far and damaging the knitting needle detector 4. At the same time, it also ensures that the pressing block 33 can extend into the space formed by the two arc-shaped clamping plates 2 to fix the knitting needle detector 4.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the above-mentioned knitting needle detector 4 is generally circular as a whole. Then, two opposite sides of the knitting needle detector 4 are set to be planar to form planar portions 41. The linear distance between the two planar portions 41 is the same as the linear distance between the ends of the two arc-shaped clamping plates 2 far from the mounting plate.

[0049] In this way, when installing the knitting needle detector 4, the positions of the two planar portions 41 of the knitting needle detector 4 can be aligned with the two arc-shaped clamping plates 2, and then the knitting needle detector 4 can be inserted between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 2. After that, the knitting needle detector 4 is rotated so that the planar portions 41 of the knitting needle detector 4 face the opening directions of the two arc-shaped clamping plates 2. In this way, when the pressing block 33 presses the knitting needle detector 4, the pressing block 33 can fully fit onto one planar portion 41 of the knitting needle detector 4. At the same time, the knitting needle detector 4 in this state will not fall out between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 2, so that the knitting needle detector 4 can be fixed more stably. At the same time, it is also more convenient for the staff to install this knitting needle detector 4.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 shown, the above-mentioned connecting member 31 includes an arc-shaped connecting portion 311 and a transverse connecting portion 312 that are integrally connected. One end of the arc-shaped connecting portion 311 is connected to the mounting block 1, and the transverse connecting portion 312 is disposed opposite to the mounting block 1. The above-mentioned threaded hole is provided on the transverse connecting portion 312.

[0051] In this way, the connecting member 31 is stably fixed to the mounting block 1, and at the same time, the position where the threaded hole is provided can meet the movement of driving the pressing block 33.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, a mounting hole is provided on the transverse connecting portion 312.

[0053] By using the setting of the mounting hole, other rods can be installed on the transverse connecting portion 312 through bolts to realize the connection between the mounting bracket and other auxiliary brackets, so as to finally fix the knitting needle detector 4 to the knitting machine.

However, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments.
