Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of sock knitting machines, and particularly relates to a bearded needle dial device for a sock knitting machine. Background Art

[0002] There is a problem with the bearded needles, also known as transfer needles, used on existing integrated sock knitting machines to transfer fabrics or socks from the needle cylinder of the knitting equipment. When a bearded needle is damaged and needs to be replaced, multiple spare parts and the needle dial for installing the bearded needle need to be removed. After each replacement, the positions of the bearded needle and the needle cylinder need to be repositioned, which is troublesome for maintenance. If the positioning is inaccurate, it will cause machine failures and produce defective socks. How to improve the convenience of replacing bearded needles is the research object of those skilled in the art.

[0003] In addition, the driving structure of the existing bearded needle dial is extremely complex during rotation. How to improve the convenience of the driving structure is also the research object of those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a bearded needle dial device for a sock knitting machine with a simple structure and convenient loading and unloading of bearded needles.

[0005] A bearded needle dial device for a sock knitting machine includes a bearded needle dial, and the bearded needle dial includes a first semi-circular bearded needle disc assembly and a second semi-circular bearded needle disc assembly. Both the first semi-circular bearded needle disc assembly and the second semi-circular bearded needle disc assembly include a semi-circular needle disc. An installation ring is installed on the upper side of the semi-circular needle disc. Vertical needle grooves are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the semi-circular needle disc, and card slots are transversely provided in the needle grooves. The needle grooves are embedded with installation bearded needles. A protrusion is provided on the inner side of the bearded needle, and the protrusion cooperates with the card slot. An elastic body is provided on the outer side of the bearded needle, an outer pressing tile is provided on the outer side of the elastic body, the outer pressing tile is connected to the semi-circular needle disc, and an inclined surface for cooperating with the bearded needle is provided on the inner side of the outer pressing tile. For the bearded needle of the present invention, when it is dialed outwards to cooperate with the inclined surface, the protrusion is disengaged from the card slot, and the damaged bearded needle can be disengaged from the bearded needle dial. When installing a new bearded needle, it only needs to insert the bearded needle inside the elastic body, press and connect it through the outer pressing tile, and the protrusion cooperates and is embedded in the card slot to complete the installation of the new bearded needle, and the loading and unloading are convenient.
