Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of textiles, and in particular relates to a flat knitting machine with compatible yarn feeding. Background Art

[0002] The yarn feeder porcelain eye bracket is used for each yarn feeder. The yarn first passes through the porcelain eye and then is introduced into the yarn feeder. The bottom of the yarn feeder is fixed on the mounting bracket, and the upper part of the yarn feeder is not fixed, which is easy to shake.

[0003] In actual application, multiple yarn feeders are often fixed in parallel on a flat knitting machine, but they are only fixed through the bottom and the mounting bracket. The upper part of the yarn feeder has to pass the yarn and is not fixed by a structure. This results in different postures of multiple porcelain eye brackets between the yarn feeders carried on the flat knitting machine, poor fixation and yarn feeding orderliness of the multiple yarn feeders in parallel, and the upper part of the yarn feeder is prone to shaking.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention and the technical solutions in the prior art, the specific implementation methods of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work. In addition, the design orientation only represents the relative position relationship between the components, not the absolute position relationship.

[0026] The embodiment of the present invention provides a flat knitting machine with compatible yarn feeding, see Figure 1-Figure 6, mainly comprising a yarn feeding structure 3, a side door 5 of a horizontal machine, and a plurality of yarn feeders 1 arranged in parallel above the side door 5 of the horizontal machine, the yarn feeding structure 3 comprises a yarn feeding plate equipped with a plurality of ceramic eyes, a plurality of mounting holes are opened on one side of the yarn feeding plate, the yarn feeding plate is fixedly connected to the upper parts of the plurality of yarn feeders 1 arranged in parallel through the plurality of mounting holes, so that the upper parts of the plurality of yarn feeders 1 are interlocked and fixed with the yarn feeding plate; A first array of porcelain eyes is provided on one side of the yarn feeding plate close to the mounting hole, and the yarn feeding ends of the plurality of yarn feeders 1 are located below the first array of porcelain eyes; A second array of porcelain eyes is provided on the side of the yarn feeding plate away from the mounting hole, and a plurality of through holes 52 aligned with the second array of porcelain eyes are opened on the top plate 51 of the flat knitting machine side door 5, and the plurality of through holes 52 are located directly below the second array of porcelain eyes, and the plurality of through holes 52 are located below the front end of the buffer rod 13 carried by the yarn feeding end of the yarn feeder 1, so that the yarn 7 passing through the yarn feeder 1 and / or the yarn feeding structure 3 is introduced into the interior of the flat knitting machine 9 through the through holes 52.

[0027] In the present application, the yarn 7 on the flat knitting machine 9 can have a variety of introduction paths, one of which is: the yarn 7 first enters the yarn feeder 1 through the yarn feeding structure 3, and then is introduced into the yarn guide structure 4 through the through hole 52 on the flat knitting machine side door 5, and finally the yarn 7 is introduced into the textile structure carried on the textile frame 2 via the yarn guide structure 4, and then the textile operation is carried out; the second is: the yarn 7 is directly introduced into the yarn guide structure 4 through the through hole 52 through the yarn feeding structure 3, and then introduced into the textile structure through the yarn guide structure 4 for textile operation.

[0028] The above two yarn feeding methods of the yarn 7 can be selected by the user according to actual needs, rather than being forced by the manufacturer of the flat knitting machine 9.

[0029] Since the flat knitting machine 9 is equipped with a plurality of yarn feeders 1 and a yarn feeding structure 3 with a plurality of ceramic eyes, the flat knitting machine 9 can simultaneously adopt the above-mentioned two yarn feeding methods when feeding the yarn.

[0030] It is understandable that the flat knitting machine 9 also has other structures, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 Other conventional configurations may also be used, in which the introduction end of the yarn 7 is selected on the flat knitting machine 9, and the flat knitting machine side door 5 and the yarn feeding structure 3 and the yarn feeder 1 are set based on the solution disclosed in this application.

[0031] In the present application, a base plate 6 is set between the side door 5 of the flat knitting machine and the cross beam plate of the flat knitting machine 9, and a yarn shuttle and a corresponding support structure are set on the cross beam plate, such as Figure 2 As shown in; the base plate 6 is mounted at the joint between the horizontal machine side door 5 and the beam plate, for example, Figure 2Taking the perspective of as an example, the front end of the base plate 6 is located on the rear side of the top plate 51, and an extension structure is provided at the left end, which is fixed to the top plate 51 through the extension structure, and the fixed position can be located at the left end of the top plate 51; the right end of the base plate 6 is bracketed and hung on the crossbeam plate and fixed to it, providing a fixed position for multiple yarn feeders 1. When the bottoms of multiple yarn feeders 1 are fixed in parallel on the base plate 6, the yarn feeding ends of the multiple yarn feeders 1 are all facing the outside of the side door 5 of the horizontal machine, toward the space above the top plate 51, so that the introduction of the yarn 7 is completed in this space.

[0032] The yarn entry of the yarn feeding structure 3 and the yarn feeder 1 is completed in this space, and is introduced downward into the through hole 52 on the top plate 51, enters the inner space of the flat knitting machine side door 5 through the through hole 52, and is then turned and guided by the yarn guide structure 4, and finally introduced into the textile structure on the textile frame 2.

[0033] For example, a yarn guide structure 4 may be provided on the inner side of the side door 5 of the flat knitting machine. The yarn guide structure 4 is provided between the spinning frame 2 and the side door 5 of the flat knitting machine, and the yarn guide structure 4 is located below the top plate 51. The yarn guide structure 4 may be provided corresponding to the array where the through holes 52 are located, so that the direction of the yarn guide structure 4 is consistent with the direction of the array formed by the plurality of through holes 52. Figure 4 as shown in .

[0034] As preferred, the yarn guide structure 4 can be equipped with a plurality of yarn guide porcelain eyes 41 and a plurality of yarn guide wheels 42, and the yarn guide porcelain eyes 41 and the yarn guide wheels 42 are alternately arranged, wherein the alternating number of porcelain eyes can be one or more. Of course, the alternating number of the yarn guide wheels 42 can also be selected independently.

[0035] When introducing the yarn, the yarn guide wheel 42 or the yarn guide eye 41 can be selected according to the actual needs of the user. Different yarns on the same flat knitting machine 9 can be guided by the yarn guide wheel 42 or the yarn guide eye 41.

[0036] Preferably, the yarn 7 passing through the yarn feeder 1 is guided by the yarn guide wheel 42, and the yarn 7 passing through only the yarn feed porcelain eye 37 can be guided by the yarn guide porcelain eye 41; it can be adjusted according to the friction force of the yarn 7 itself, actual needs, etc.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the yarn feeding plate is an integrated full-length structural plate, and multiple yarn feeders 1 on the base plate 6 are fixed synchronously at the same time. The mounting hole 34 for fixing can be arranged on one side of the long side of the yarn feeding plate, which is close to the yarn feeding end of the yarn feeder 1. Therefore, a first array of porcelain eyes corresponding to the yarn feeding end can be opened; on the opposite side, a second array of porcelain eyes can be opened, and the porcelain eyes of the two arrays do not affect each other when guiding the yarn 7.

[0038] At the same time, the distance between the two arrays of porcelain eyes is adjusted according to the distance between the top plate 51 of the side door 5 of the horizontal machine and the yarn feeder 1. It is best to make the second array of porcelain eyes just above the top plate 51, and open a plurality of through holes 52 on the top plate 51 so that the direction of the hole array formed by the plurality of through holes 52 is consistent with the direction of the second array of porcelain eyes, and they can correspond one to one up and down. Each porcelain eye in the second array of porcelain eyes corresponds to at least one through hole 52.

[0039] Specifically, the yarn feeding end of the yarn feeder 1 can be equipped with a yarn wheel 11, a guide wheel 12, and a buffer rod 13 according to the path of the yarn 7. The yarn 7 is introduced from the first array of porcelain eyes to the yarn wheel 11, and is turned and guided to the front end of the buffer rod 13 through the guide wheel 12. The front end of the buffer rod 13 is provided with a guide ring, and the guide ring is located above the through hole 52. The installation spacing between the yarn feeder 1 and the top plate 51 can be adjusted according to the length of the buffer rod 13, so that the second array of porcelain eyes, the guide ring, and the through hole can be roughly in the same vertical position, such as Figure 1 as shown in .

[0040] It should be clear that the buffer rod 13 is located on the side of the yarn feeder 1, and the mountable part 15 is located in the middle of the yarn feeder 1, which causes the buffer rod 13 to be misaligned with the positions of the porcelain eyes in the first array. Correspondingly, when using the second array of porcelain eyes, the first array of porcelain eyes can be used as a basis to stagger the position of the buffer rod 13 as much as possible.

[0041] It is feasible that the buffer rod 13 of the yarn feeder 1 is offset in the horizontal direction with the porcelain eyes in the second array (mainly used), so that the buffer rod is located between the two porcelain eyes; or it is offset front to back, with the front end of the buffer rod located behind the porcelain eye, so that the front end of the buffer rod 13 does not affect the normal operation of the yarn in the second array porcelain eye.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, the yarn feeding plate includes a mounting plate 31 and a carrier plate 32 for carrying a yarn feeding porcelain eye 37. A plurality of mounting holes are provided on the mounting plate. At least one yarn feeding porcelain eye 37 is carried corresponding to each mounting hole on the carrier plate. The plurality of yarn feeding porcelain eyes 37 constitute a first array of porcelain eyes.

[0043] The carrier plate 32 is a plate structure close to the side of the mounting hole 34, and a first array of ceramic eyes can be opened on it. Specifically, a yarn feeding hole 35 can be opened on the carrier plate 32, and a yarn feeding ceramic eye 37 can be installed in the yarn feeding hole 35. The mounting hole 34 is opened on the mounting plate 31, and the number of the yarn feeding ceramic eyes 37 in the first array of ceramic eyes can be consistent with the number of the yarn feeders 1, and each yarn feeding ceramic eye 37 serves one yarn feeder 1.

[0044] For the fixed connection between the mounting plate 31 and the yarn feeder 1, a mounting portion 15 can be provided at the top end of the upper portion of the yarn feeder 1. The mounting portion 15 is provided close to the yarn feeding end of the yarn feeder 1. A fixing hole is provided in the mounting portion 15, and the yarn feeding plate is fixed to the yarn feeder 1 through the mounting hole.

[0045] Exemplarily, a mounting hole 34 may be provided on the mounting plate 31 corresponding to the position of each yarn feeder 1, and the spacing of the mounting holes 34 matches the array spacing of the yarn feeders 1, so that one yarn feeding plate can synchronously interlock and fix multiple yarn feeders 1.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment, the top surface of the mounting portion 15 is tilted toward the yarn feed end, the carrier plate is horizontal, and an angle is formed between the mounting plate and the carrier plate, so that the inclination of the mounting plate is the same as the inclination of the top surface, so that after the mounting plate is fixed to the mounting portion, the carrier plate 32 is suspended above the yarn feed end in a horizontal state.

[0047] Specifically, the angle between the mounting plate 31 and the carrier plate 32 may be an obtuse angle, and the mounting plate 31 and the carrier plate 32 are located on both sides of the butt fold, such as Figure 6 It can also be an acute angle, the mounting plate 31 and the carrier plate 32 are located on the same side of the butt fold; the above two methods can make the carrier plate 32 suspended in a horizontal state.

[0048] In a specific embodiment, the yarn feeding plate also includes an expansion plate 33, the mounting plate 31 is arranged on the inner side of the carrier plate 32, and the expansion plate is horizontally arranged on the outer end of the carrier plate 32, so that the expansion plate 33 is away from the mounting hole, and a plurality of yarn feeding porcelain eyes 37 are mounted on the expansion plate 33, and the plurality of yarn feeding porcelain eyes 37 constitute a second array of porcelain eyes.

[0049] The expansion plate 33 is a plate structure away from the mounting hole 34. A yarn inlet hole 35 can be opened on it, and a yarn inlet porcelain eye 37 can be installed in the yarn inlet hole 35. Multiple yarn inlet porcelain eyes 37 can be mounted on the expansion plate 33 to form a second array porcelain eye.

[0050] Preferably, a row of yarn inlet holes 35 are evenly spaced on the outer edge of the expansion plate 33 , and a yarn inlet porcelain eye 37 is installed in each yarn inlet hole 35 .

[0051] A plurality of horizontal ribs 36 are arranged between the expansion board 33 and the carrier board 32, so that the second array ceramic eyes carried on the expansion board are translated in a direction away from the mounting hole, so that the second array ceramic eyes are suspended directly above the plurality of through holes 52. The plurality of ribs 36 are evenly spaced between the carrier board 32 and the expansion board 33, and a gap is formed between two adjacent ribs 36.

[0052] In the present application, multiple yarn feeders are installed in parallel with the same spacing, and the basic conditions for installing an integrated yarn feed plate are met. The yarn feed plate can be fixedly installed based on the existing mounting position on the upper part of the yarn feeder, and one yarn feed plate can be fixed to multiple yarn feeders at the same time, thereby realizing interlocking fixation of multiple yarn feeders. Combined with the bottom fixed connection of the yarn feeder, the installation stability of multiple yarn feeders can be ensured, making it less likely to shake and having strong consistency.

[0053] It can be understood that, when the yarn feed plate of the present application is used, after installation, multiple yarn feeders maintain a relatively consistent posture, the porcelain eyes carried by the yarn feed plate correspond to the yarn feeders, and the consistency is strong. The positions of the yarn feed plate and the yarn feeders are fixed and do not change.

[0054] It should be noted that at least two yarn feeders should be interlocked and fixed with the yarn feeding plate, so as to enhance the stability of the overall installation structure of the yarn feeder to prevent it from shaking, while meeting the yarn feeding guiding requirements of the yarn feeder.

[0055] It can be understood that the mounting hole is a long through hole, and the fixing hole can be a screw hole. The mounting plate can be fixed to the top of the yarn feeder by screws, and a certain mounting posture should be met to facilitate the introduction of the yarn.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the carrier plate can be used to carry the dedicated ceramic eye (first array ceramic eye), and the spare ceramic eye (second array ceramic eye) can be carried on the expansion structure, which does not correspond to the yarn feeder one-to-one, but can be matched with a similar yarn feeder. When the dedicated ceramic eye needs to be replaced, the spare ceramic eye can be directly used nearby without waiting, stopping, and delaying production.

[0057] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the statement "comprise a ..." do not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising the elements.

[0058] The above contents are further detailed descriptions of the present invention in combination with specific preferred implementation modes, and it cannot be determined that the specific embodiments of the present invention are limited to these descriptions. For ordinary technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which should be regarded as belonging to the protection scope of the present invention.
