TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of textile equipment, in particular to a needle bed driving structure with improved movement accuracy. BACKGROUND
[0002] The needle bed is an important unit of the loop forming section of the high-speed warp knitting machine. The needle bed comprises a needle bed body and a driving structure for driving the needle bed body to move up and down according to a certain rule. The needle bed body is provided with a needle bed seat, a needle rail, a knitting needle and a sliding seat for controlling the up and down sliding of the needle bed seat. The needle bed can be divided into a single needle bed and a double needle bed. At present, the double needle bed is widely used. The double needle bed is composed of two symmetrical front and rear single needle beds. The driving structure type of the needle bed is mostly a crank connecting rod type or a cam connecting rod type. However, the connecting rod and the hinge connecting member of the driving structure of the crank connecting rod type are generally in a large number. For example, the utility model patent of the double needle warp knitting machine with the authorization announcement number CN203320243U is described as follows: "... the front and rear needle bed transmission mechanisms each have a needle bed crank. The needle bed crank and the tongue needle bed are connected by a first needle bed connecting rod, a second needle bed connecting rod, a third needle bed connecting rod, a fourth needle bed connecting rod, a fifth needle bed connecting rod, a sixth needle bed connecting rod, a seventh needle bed connecting rod and an eighth needle bed connecting rod...". "... the needle bed crank of the front and rear needle bed transmission mechanisms is connected with the first needle bed connecting rod through a bearing roller. The first needle bed connecting rod and the second needle bed connecting rod are connected with a pin shaft on the first support. The first support is connected with the machine frame. The second needle bed connecting rod and the third needle bed connecting rod are connected with a pin shaft on the second support. The second support is connected with the machine frame. The third needle bed connecting rod and the fourth needle bed connecting rod are connected with a pin shaft. The fourth needle bed connecting rod is connected with the machine frame through a fixed shaft. The fourth needle bed connecting rod and the fifth needle bed connecting rod are connected with a pin shaft. The sixth needle bed connecting rod and the seventh needle bed connecting rod are connected with a pin shaft on the needle bed swing arm. The needle bed swing arm is connected with the machine frame. The seventh needle bed connecting rod and the eighth needle bed connecting rod are directly connected...". As can be seen, the driving structure of the crank connecting rod type needs too many connecting rods and hinge connecting members. Too many connecting rods and hinge connecting members can easily increase the accumulated error and failure rate of the driving structure, affect the transmission efficiency and the movement precision of the needle bed body, and further affect the product quality. In addition, it is difficult for the crank connecting rod mechanism to realize the variable curve motion trajectory. It is also difficult to meet the requirements of the complex motion process required by the needle bed body of the modern high-speed warp knitting machine. Since the cam surface form is easy to design and process, the cam connecting rod type needle bed driving structure is more suitable for the complex motion needs of the needle bed body of the modern high-speed warp knitting machine. However, the cam connecting rod mechanism realizes the connecting rod movement through the friction between the cam and the roller rotatingly connected with the end of the connecting rod. The friction between the high-speed rotating cam and the roller can easily increase the temperature of the cam and the roller. If the temperature cannot be lowered in time, the cam or the roller will be thermally deformed, which will affect the cam surface trajectory and further affect the movement precision of the needle bed body. In addition, many fibers and dust on the yarn will fall from above to the cam during the operation of the warp knitting machine. If the floating dust cannot be cleaned in time, it will also be easily crushed by the roller and adhered to the cam, which will change the size of the cam surface and affect the movement precision of the needle bed body. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a needle bed driving structure that can improve the movement precision to solve the existing problems. In view of this, the present case arises. SUMMARY

An annular air guide groove 214 is provided in the middle of the wheel body between the outer curved surface 211 and the inner curved surface 212 of the cam body 21.

Sealing elements are provided between the protruding edge of the end plate 22 and the groove of the air inlet plate 51, and between the through hole in the center of the air inlet plate 51 and the drive shaft of the transmission assembly 1.
[0035] like Figure 3 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the cleaning component 6 of the present invention includes a cleaning shovel 61, a sliding sleeve 62, a spring 63, a fixing ring 64, and a suction connector 65. The cleaning component 6 is slidably connected to the connecting rod assembly 4, and its cleaning shovel 61 can elastically abut against the outer curved surface 211 of the cam body 21. The cleaning component 6 can scrape the outer curved surface 211 of the cam body 21 and can suck up floating dust. The cleaning shovel 61 is a shovel-shaped cavity component with an internal dust collection air duct 611 and an open bottom. The lower part of the cleaning shovel 61 is inclined and increases in its width direction while gradually thinning in its thickness direction to form a scraping surface 612. The upper end of the cleaning shovel 61 is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve 62. The sliding sleeve 62 is slidably connected to the connecting rod of the connecting rod assembly 4 and restricts the sliding sleeve 62 from rotating around the connecting rod. There are two springs 63 and two fixing rings 64. The two springs 63 are movably sleeved on the connecting rod of the connecting rod assembly 4 and are respectively placed at both ends of the sliding sleeve 62.

One end of the exhaust connector 65 is connected to the cleaning shovel 61 and communicates with the dust collection duct 611 of the cleaning shovel 61. The other end of the exhaust connector 65 is connected to the suction pipe of an external vacuum cleaner.
[0036] The method of using the needle bed drive structure that improves motion accuracy is as follows:
[0037] When the warp knitting machine is working, the transmission component 1 of this drive structure drives the cam body 21 of the cam assembly 2 to rotate at high speed; the upper roller 31 and the lower roller 32 of the roller assembly 3 abut and rub against the outer curved surface 211 and the inner curved surface 212 of the cam body 21 respectively. At this time, the cam body 21 of the cam assembly 2 drives the upper roller 31 and the lower roller 32 of the roller assembly 3 and the roller frame 33 to swing up and down around the support shaft 34, so that the connecting rod of the connecting rod assembly 4 moves up and down to drive the needle bed body 900 to move up and down. Because the friction between the upper roller 31 and the lower roller 32 and the cam body 21 generates a lot of heat, the cam body 21 is prone to thermal deformation. Therefore, the cold air source connected to the external air supply assembly 5 can be turned on. The cold air can be sent into the air outlet 215 through the air cavity 213 and the air guide groove 214 of the cam body 21, and diffused to the outside of the outer curved surface 211 and the inner curved surface 212 of the cam body 21 through several corrugated air outlets 215 to form a cold air flow layer for cooling and dust isolation, thus avoiding the influence of thermal deformation on the curved surface dimensions of the cam body 21. In addition, due to the damping effect of the corrugated hole wall of the air outlet 215, the flow speed of the cold air in the air outlet 215 is slowed down, which prolongs the residence time of the cold air inside the cam body 21, thereby improving the cooling effect and ensuring the stability of the curved surface dimensions of the cam body 21. The airflow layer pressure formed by the blown cold air is also reduced, which can keep the airflow layer at a low pressure to isolate floating dust and prevent the floating dust falling from above from accumulating on the surface of the cam body 21 and being rolled into the contact point between the upper roller 31 and the cam body 21 and then accumulating and adhering to the cam body 21. It can also prevent the floating dust from being blown around by the cold air. Meanwhile, when the connecting rod of the linkage assembly 4 moves up and down, it can drive the cleaning shovel 61 of the cleaning assembly 6 to move up and down together. Under the elastic force of the spring 63, the scraping surface 612 of the cleaning shovel 61 always elastically contacts the outer curved surface 211 of the cam body 21. When the cam body 21 rotates, the cleaning shovel 61 can scrape the outer curved surface 211 of the cam body 21. At the same time, the vacuum cleaner connected to the outside of the cleaning assembly 6 is turned on. The floating dust and scraped material isolated by the airflow layer on the periphery of the cam body 21 can be sucked in through the opening at the bottom of the dust collection duct 611 and sucked away by the external vacuum cleaner, which can avoid the floating dust from accumulating and crushing and affecting the curved surface size of the cam body 21.
[0038] This invention utilizes a plurality of air outlets 215 arranged in a radiating double layer on the cam body 21 of the cam assembly 2, with corrugated hole walls, to blow the cold air provided by the air supply assembly 5 to the outside of the outer curved surface 211 and inner curved surface 212 of the cam body 21, forming a cold airflow layer to cool the cam assembly 2 and the roller assembly 3 and isolate floating dust, so as to avoid thermal deformation of the cam or roller causing changes in the cam surface dimensions and affecting its curved trajectory. The cleaning shovel 61 of the cleaning assembly 6 scrapes the outer curved surface 211 of the cam body 21 and sucks up the floating dust, so as to avoid the floating dust from continuously adhering and accumulating on the cam and being crushed by the rollers of the roller assembly 3, which would change the cam surface dimensions and affect its curved trajectory. This can improve the motion accuracy of the needle bed body and improve product quality.
[0039] The above is only one specific embodiment of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present invention using this concept shall be considered as infringing the protection scope of the present invention.
