TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a multi-layer pulling device for a flat knitting machine, and belongs to the technical field of flat knitting machines. BACKGROUND
[0002] In order to prevent the loops from floating during the knitting process, a pulling device is usually provided to pull the knitted fabric. For full-form knitting, such pulling is even more important.
[0003] Currently, full-form flat knitting machines usually use roller pulling or pulling rake plus lower roller pulling.
[0004] Roller pulling has single roller or upper and lower double roller pulling methods. Although the structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and low in cost, the use effect is not ideal, the rate of defective and waste products is high, and the effect is even worse for fine-gauge high-count yarn fabrics, and many knitting styles cannot be done.
[0005] The flat knitting machine pulling device using pulling rake (for example, the granted invention patents CN112663218 B, CN113026191 B, and CN112663219 B, etc.) can better complete the pulling action required by the full-form knitting process of the flat knitting machine, and the effect is obviously better than that of the roller device, making it widely used. However, it still has the following shortcomings: first, when the pulling rake completes a pulling stroke, the corresponding fabric will be in a state of no pulling force, at which time the fabric will easily shrink back to the cylinder direction under the action of its own elasticity, thereby affecting the knitting quality; and a basic pulling width is relatively wide, formed by the pulling widths of multiple pulling rakes, which cannot adapt to the local pulling or local non-pulling knitting requirements of the fabric.
[0006] At the same time, the existing pulling device generally also needs to be equipped with a starting plate to realize pulling of the starting knitting fabric. The starting plate is mainly composed of a thin steel plate and a row of starting needle combs uniformly arranged on the thin steel plate. During starting knitting, the row of starting needle combs as a whole performs a pulling action, which cannot meet the local pulling requirements and cannot realize the pulling requirements of local knitted fabrics with inconsistent lengths in full-form knitting, such as the same pulling effect when the sleeve and the body have inconsistent lengths. For flat knitting machines using roller pulling, especially for flat knitting machines using upper and lower double roller pulling, the starting knitting fabric needs to be knitted long enough to be below the lower roller, thereby increasing the amount of starting waste yarn and the invalid knitting time, and thus increasing the cost.
[0007] In addition, the pulling rake acts on the fabric at a position far from the cylinder port, and the initial pulling of the initial knitting requires a base needle comb device and a coordinated opening and closing device of the base needle comb device, and the cooperation of the needle comb and the machine head of the flat knitting machine and the pulling rake, which makes the manufacturing cost high, and all the base needle combs are fixed on a rigid and fixed thin steel plate, and the base needle comb cannot realize the local pulling work requirement, and the pulling force of the base needle comb needs to be strictly controlled, and a torque motor is used, and the position control is not accurate, which may cause misoperation and serious needle collision accident.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0059] The application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0060] The following orientation words: 1) "inner" and "outer" are defined according to the inner cavity of the fixing seat; 2) the transverse direction is consistent with the transverse direction of the flat knitting machine; 3) front and back are consistent with the front and back of the front and back needle bed of the flat knitting machine. Embodiment one
[0061] The flat knitting machine pulling device of the embodiment, as shown in the figure, comprises a plurality of pulling mechanisms B arranged on the front and back sides of the flat knitting machine needle plate A respectively. Figure 1 The pulling mechanisms B are arranged on the front and back sides of the needle plate A respectively, and the pulling mechanisms B are arranged on the front and back sides of the needle plate A respectively. Figures 2-3As shown, the pulling mechanism B includes a fixed seat 91, a fixed panel 92 covering the outer side of the fixed seat 91, a pulling rake rotatably and slidably arranged in the fixed seat 91 through a guide structure, a driving member arranged in the fixed seat 91 and moving up and down, and a pushing member arranged in the fixed seat 91 and moving up and down under the action of the driving member. The pulling rake includes a first group of pulling rakes formed by a plurality of first pulling rakes 11 and a second group of pulling rakes formed by a plurality of second pulling rakes 12. The first pulling rake 11 and the second pulling rake 12 both have a rake handle 102 and a rake head 103 arranged at the upper end of the rake handle 102. The rake head 103 is provided with a rotatable rake tooth 101 disclosed in the prior art (for details, see the published patent 202011120222.9 A pulling rake for a pulling device of a flat knitting machine). The rake handle width is not wider than the rake head, and the symmetry center lines of the rake head and the rake handle coincide. However, the rake handle length of the first pulling rake 11 is longer than that of the second pulling rake 12. The two groups of pulling rakes are arranged in corresponding rake grooves in the fixed seat through the rake handles, and the rake handle width is matched with the rake groove width, and are rotatably and slidably arranged in the fixed seat 91 through the guide structure (for details, see Example Three). In this embodiment, the rake heads of the two groups of rakes are arranged at different height positions by setting different rake handle lengths, forming two layers of rake heads, and the rake heads of the second group of pulling rakes are always below the first group of pulling rakes.
[0062] The two groups of pulling rakes are arranged alternately to form an alternating arrangement unit containing the first group of pulling rakes and the second group of pulling rakes. In this embodiment, one first pulling rake in the first group of pulling rakes and one second pulling rake in the second group of pulling rakes are arranged alternately, and the rake heads of the first pulling rake and the second pulling rake are arranged at two transverse positions at different heights to form a further defined second alternating arrangement unit. According to the present application, the alternating arrangement unit can also have other forms, for example, the alternating sequence is a first pulling rake and a second pulling rake, and the alternating number is two first pulling rakes and one second pulling rake.
[0063] The guiding structure of the present application is composed of the shaft pin and the guiding slot with relative movement. In the embodiment, the shaft pin 43 is arranged on the fixed seat 91, and the shaft pin 43 includes the upper shaft pin and the lower shaft pin which are arranged in parallel from top to bottom and pass through all the rake slots. The guiding slot is the first guiding slot 41 arranged on the rake handle 12, and the first guiding slot 41 includes the first inclined straight slot 411 and the first straight slot 412 arranged from top to bottom. The first inclined straight slot 411 is composed of the straight slot segment and the lower inclined slot segment which is inclined downward and outward of the fixed seat and connected to the lower end of the straight slot segment. The fixed panel 92 which covers the outside of the fixed seat 91 is provided with a plurality of rake slot holes for exposing the rake teeth 11 on the pulling rake. When the upper shaft pin moves from the lower inclined slot segment to the straight slot segment, the pulling rake rotates inward around the lower shaft pin, and presents the retracting state, i.e. the non-pulling state, which retracts inward in the transverse direction of the fixed panel 92. When the upper shaft pin moves from the straight slot segment to the lower inclined slot segment, the pulling rake rotates outward around the lower shaft pin, and presents the extending state which extends outward in the transverse direction of the fixed panel 92.
[0064] In the embodiment, the pushing member is the push rod. As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the push rod includes the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32. The first pulling rake 11 and the second pulling rake 12 in the row of pulling rakes which are arranged in the second interlaced arrangement unit in series in the transverse direction are respectively supported on the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32, that is, the first group of pulling rakes and the second group of pulling rakes are respectively supported on the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32. As shown in Figure 6 , the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 each include the horizontal rod and the vertical rod with the plate-shaped body. The horizontal rod 301 is vertically connected to the upper end of the vertical rod 302. The horizontal rod 301 is provided with a plurality of rectangular teeth 3011 which are arranged in parallel in the transverse direction and used for supporting the lower end of the rake handle of the pulling rake. The first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 are arranged in the fixed seat in sliding mode with the partial opposite surfaces abutting against each other.
[0065] The driving member of the embodiment is two first nuts 51 which can move up and down, and the first nut 51 is provided with a first driving block 511 on at least one lateral side for driving the push rod to move up, and the upper end surface of the first driving block 501 forms a first driving surface 5011. The left side of the vertical rod of the corresponding first push rod 31 and the right side of the vertical rod of the second push rod 32 are respectively provided with a notch which is adapted to the upper end of the first driving block and is downward, and the end surface of the notch towards the lower side forms a driven surface 3025. The two first nuts 51 are respectively screwed on a screw rod 56 provided on the motor shaft of the motor 55, and when the two first nuts 51 are alternately pushed up by the screw rod on the rotating motor shaft, the first driving surface on the upper end of the first driving block 511 respectively pushes against the first driven part of the first push rod and the second push rod, and drives the corresponding push rod to move up alternately, and the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 which move up alternately drive a group of first pulling harrows 11 and a group of second pulling harrows 12 to move up alternately until the highest position, and when moving up to the highest position, they are guided by the self-guiding structure to retract towards the inside of the lateral direction of the fixed seat, and the two nuts 51 move down alternately, and the first push rod 31 and the group of first pulling harrows 11 and the second push rod 32 and the group of second pulling harrows 12 follow the downward movement under the action of gravity, and are guided by the guiding structure to extend outwardly to the lateral direction of the fixed seat, so that the harrow teeth are exposed to the harrow slot hole to hook the woven fabric and pull the woven fabric downward in the downward stroke, and in the process of alternating upward and downward movement of the first pulling harrow 11 and the second pulling harrow 12, the harrow head of the second pulling harrow is always below the harrow head of the first pulling harrow, and the first pulling harrow and the second pulling harrow perform repeated pulling actions of alternating upward and downward movement until the weaving is completed.
[0066] The embodiment also moves the two first nuts 51 up and down simultaneously, so as to drive a group of first pulling harrows 11 and a group of second pulling harrows 12 to move up simultaneously and move down under the action of gravity.
[0067] According to the design of the present application, more push rods can be used to support a row of pulling harrows according to actual needs, which can not only reduce the length of the push rod to increase the rigidity, but also realize different upward driving of a row of pulling harrows. For example, the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 are respectively provided with two, and the first group of first pulling harrows and the second group of second pulling harrows are divided into two parts in the lateral direction, and the first pulling harrow 11 and the second pulling harrow 12 of the two parts are respectively supported on the two first push rods 31 and the two second push rods 32. Embodiment two
[0068] The embodiment is another arrangement of pulling mechanism based on the same mechanism as the above embodiment. The same as embodiment 1 is that there are two groups of pulling harrows with harrow heads at two levels, and the first pulling harrow 11 of the first group and the second pulling harrow 12 of the second group are guided by the guide structure as described in embodiment 1 to slide up and down and rotate in the fixed seat 91. The length of the harrow handle of the first pulling harrow 11 is longer than that of the second pulling harrow 12. The first pulling harrow 11 and the second pulling harrow 12 are arranged alternately to form an alternating arrangement unit.
[0069] But different from embodiment 1, the harrow handle 102 of the first pulling harrow 11 and the second pulling harrow 12 in the same alternating arrangement unit is arranged in the same harrow groove 911, so that the harrow head of one first pulling harrow in the first group of pulling harrows and the harrow head of one second pulling harrow in the second group of pulling harrows are at the same transverse position at different heights to form a further defined first alternating arrangement unit, and the first alternating arrangement units are arranged transversely in series to form a row of pulling harrows, and the first group of pulling harrows and the second group of pulling harrows in the row of pulling harrows are supported on the first push rod and the second push rod respectively.
[0070] The pulling harrow structure of the embodiment is slightly different from that of embodiment 1. The harrow handle 102 of the first pulling harrow 11 and the second pulling harrow 12 is symmetrically arranged in the same harrow groove 911 of the fixed seat 91, respectively deviating to the left and right sides of the harrow head 103. The width of the harrow handle of the first pulling harrow 11 and the second pulling harrow 12 is smaller than the width of the harrow groove and not greater than the width of the harrow head, as shown in Figure 8 The width of the rectangular teeth 311 on the corresponding first push rod 31 and second push rod 32 is reduced to adapt to the reduced width of the harrow handle.
[0071] And in the embodiment, the first push rod 31 and the first push rod 32 are driven by a common driving member. The driving member is also a first nut 51 as in embodiment 1, which is screwed on the rotating shaft of the motor, as shown in Figure 10 The first nut 51 alternately drives the first push rod 31 and the first push rod 32 through the swing of the first switching swing rod 61 and the third switching swing rod 63. The first nut 51 is provided with first driving blocks 501 on the transverse two sides, and the top end face and the bottom end face of the two first driving blocks 501 form the first driving face 5011 and the fourth driving face 5013 respectively. The first switching swing rod and the third switching swing rod are arranged on the inner side of the inner cavity of the fixed seat, as shown in Figure 11 and Figure 12 The first switching swing rod 61 includes a first long arm rod 611 and a first short arm rod 612 rotating on the same axis, and the third switching swing rod 63 includes a driving gear short rod 631 and a driven gear long rod 632 meshing with each other. The first long arm rod and the first short arm rod and the driving gear short rod and the driven gear long rod are arranged staggered in the transverse direction. The vertical rod of the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 is provided with a sliding groove 3022, which is matched withFigure 5 The second push rod is different from the first push rod in that a sliding groove 3022 is arranged at the lower part of the vertical rod to receive the pushing of the third switching swing rod 63; the first short arm rod and the driving gear short rod are respectively in contact with the first driving surface 5011 and the fourth driving surface 5013 of the first nut 51, and the first long arm rod and the driven gear long rod are respectively in sliding connection with the sliding grooves 3022 on the vertical rods of the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32; the first nut 51 moves upward, the first driving surface 5011 pushes the first short arm rod to make the first long arm rod swing upward, the first nut 51 moves downward, the fourth driving surface 5013 pushes the driving gear short rod to rotate and makes the driven gear long rod that is in meshing with each other swing upward, the first switching swing rod and the driven gear long rod swing upward and push the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 to move upward alternately and successively, so that the first pulling rake 11 and the second pulling rake 12 are repeatedly and alternately moved upward and downward, and the pulling action is completed.
[0072] According to the design of the present application, the first phase interval arrangement unit with an odd number and the first phase interval arrangement unit with an even number are not limited to being supported by one push rod, and more push rods can be used to support one row of pulling rakes according to actual needs, so that the length of the push rod can be reduced to increase the rigidity, and different upward pushing of one row of pulling rakes can be realized. For example, as shown in Figure 9 As shown, the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 can be provided in two, and the transverse width of the two first push rods 31 and the two second push rods 32 is half of the push rod in the first embodiment, so that the two first push rods 31 and the two second push rods 32 can be arranged side by side in the fixed seat 91; one group of first pulling rakes 11 and one group of second pulling rakes 12 are divided into two parts in the transverse direction, and the two parts of the one group of first pulling rakes 11 and the one group of second pulling rakes 12 are supported on the two first push rods 31 and the two second push rods 32, respectively, and a first push rod 31 and a second push rod 32 corresponding to each other are driven by a first nut 51 cooperating with a first switching swing rod 61 and a third switching swing rod 63, as shown in Figure 8 As shown, the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 can be provided in two, and the transverse width of the two first push rods 31 and the two second push rods 32 is half of the push rod in the first embodiment, so that the two first push rods 31 and the two second push rods 32 can be arranged side by side in the fixed seat 91; one group of first pulling rakes 11 and one group of second pulling rakes 12 are divided into two parts in the transverse direction, and the two parts of the one group of first pulling rakes 11 and the one group of second pulling rakes 12 are supported on the two first push rods 31 and the two second push rods 32, respectively, and a first push rod 31 and a second push rod 32 corresponding to each other are driven by a first nut 51 cooperating with a first switching swing rod 61 and a third switching swing rod 63, as shown in Embodiment Three

[0082] The fixing base of the present application further includes a fixing plate 8, which is arranged in the inner cavity of the fixing base in parallel with the cavity bottom surface of the middle part of the inner cavity, and forms a space 919 with the cavity bottom surface of the middle part of the inner cavity to accommodate the first push rod and the second push rod, the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 are slidably arranged in the space in a manner that the opposite surfaces of the first push rod and the second push rod are in close contact with each other, and the vertical rod of the first push rod and the vertical rod of the second push rod are respectively arranged in a push rod groove, the outer side of the fixing plate is provided with a sliding guide groove matched with the sliding guide block of the third push rod, and the third push rod slides on the outer side of the fixing plate and between the fixing plate 92 and the fixing panel 93. The inner cavity of the fixing base 91 is provided with a motor groove 918 communicated with the nut groove, the body of the motor driving the second nut is accommodated in the motor groove 918, the motor shaft provided with a screw rod and screw-connected with the nut is accommodated in the nut groove 914, the nut screw-connected with the motor shaft moves up and down along the nut sliding groove, and the moving stroke of the second nut 52 can be controlled by the motor.
[0083] As Figure 27As shown, the second nut 52 is provided with a first driving block 501 and a second driving block 502 on the two sides of the body respectively, the top end surface of the first driving block 501 and the second driving block 502 respectively forms a first driving surface 5011 and a second driving surface 5021, and the first driving surface 5011 is higher than the second driving surface 5021, and the side surface of the first driving block 501 perpendicular to the top end surface forms an abutting surface 5012, which is directed to the inside of the fixed seat 91.
[0084] The driving blocks on the two sides of the second nut 52 are respectively used to drive a first switching swing rod 61 and a second switching swing rod 62 to swing, as shown in Figure 11 and Figure 28 As shown, the first switching swing rod 61 is used to push the first push rod 31 or the second push rod 32, and the structure is the same as that of the second embodiment, and the second switching swing rod 62 is used to push the third push rod 33 and includes a second long arm rod 621 and a second short arm rod 622 which rotate on the same axis, the first long arm rod is shorter than the second long arm rod, the two first switching swing rods 61 and the two second switching swing rods 62 are arranged on the same axis, the first short arm rod 612 of the first switching swing rod 61 and the second short arm rod 622 of the second switching swing rod are used to respectively receive the driving of the first driving block 511 and the second driving block 512 on the second nut 52, when the first switching swing rod 61 swings to make the first short arm rod disengage the first driving surface 5011, the end surface 613 of the first short arm rod is opposite or abuts against the abutting surface 5012 of the first driving block, as shown in Figure 29 In this state, the movement of the second nut 52 is only the sliding of the abutting surface 5012 of the first driving block relative to the end surface 613 of the first short arm rod, and the second nut cannot push the first switching swing rod, so the driving of the first switching swing rod is stopped. One end of the first long arm rod 611 of the two first switching swing rods 61 is used to push the first push rod and the second push rod respectively, and one end of the second long arm rod 621 of the two second switching swing rods 62 is used to push the two contact ends of the third push rod respectively, so that one end of the first long arm rod and the second long arm rod respectively forms a driving end. The driving end of the two long arm rods is slidably connected with the sliding contact groove 3022 of the corresponding push rod, and the side surface of the driving end is provided in an arc shape to reduce the friction force of sliding.
[0085] In combination with the design of the switching swing rod, the more specific design of the push rod can be seen from Figure 6, the long arm of the first switching swing rod 61 is arranged on the vertical rod 302 of the push rod, and the vertical rod of the two push rods is provided with a sliding groove 3022, the first driving end 612 of the two first switching swing rods is arranged in the sliding groove 3022 of the first push rod and the sliding groove 3022 of the second push rod respectively, and because the second long arm of the second switching swing rod 62 is longer than the first long arm of the first switching swing rod 61, the swing amplitude is large, and the sliding length is also increased, so that the moving stroke of the pulling comb 2 is greater than the moving stroke of the pulling rake 1.
[0086] Furthermore, the thickness of the horizontal rod 301 is designed to be 1 / 2 of the thickness of the vertical rod 302, the upper end of the vertical rod 302 is provided with a groove 3021 with a depth suitable for the thickness of the horizontal rod 301, the side surface of the horizontal rod 301 corresponding to the groove is flush with the groove bottom surface of the vertical rod 302, forming a sliding surface 3024 coplanar with the horizontal rod and the vertical rod, the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 are arranged in abutment with the sliding surface 3024, so that the inner and outer side surfaces of the vertical rod 302 of the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 are coplanar, and the horizontal rods 301 of the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 are arranged inside and outside, the horizontal rod of the first push rod is on the inside of the horizontal rod of the second push rod 32, and when the two horizontal rods drive the first pulling rake 11 and the second pulling rake 12 arranged in the interval to move up and down, they will not interfere with each other, and the groove 3021 provides the possibility for the horizontal rods of the two push rods to move up and down in a space with a width of only one vertical rod thickness.
[0087] In this embodiment, at least two sliding protrusions 3023 are arranged on the side of the vertical rod of the push rod corresponding to the push rod groove, the groove width of the push rod groove on the fixed seat 91 is suitable for the width of the sliding protrusion, and the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 move up and down by sliding in the push rod groove through the sliding protrusion, thereby reducing the guide surface and reducing the sliding friction.
[0088] Again, as shown in Figure 15 and Figure 18 , the embodiment further comprises a push rod position adjusting unit 90, the two adjusting units 90 are symmetrically arranged below the fixed seat, and are used for adjusting the lowest position of the two push rods (that is, adjusting the stroke of the push rod), which can be seen from Figure 9Located on both sides of the fixed base, the push rod position adjustment unit 90 includes an adjustment rod 901 for receiving the push rod as it moves downward, a nut seat 902 at one end of the adjustment rod, and an adjustment screw 903 screwed to the nut seat. On the symmetrical sides of the fixed base below the fixed base, there are respectively a placement groove for placing the adjustment rod, a nut seat sliding groove communicating with the placement groove for slidingly connecting the nut seat 902, and a screw groove located below and communicating with the sliding groove. The screw is rotatable but not vertically movable within the screw groove. In this embodiment, the adjustment rod 901 is a horizontally positioned rod. Rotating the adjustment screw 903 causes the nut seat to move vertically along the nut seat sliding groove, thereby causing the horizontally positioned adjustment rod to move vertically. When the push rod moves downward, its position follows the upward or downward movement of the adjustment rod, thus adjusting the stroke of the push rod's vertical movement.
[0089] A further feature of the adjustment unit 90 is that a protruding block is provided at the position of the adjustment rod corresponding to the push rod, so as to reduce the overall upward movement surface of the adjustment rod when the horizontally positioned adjustment rod moves upward, and minimize the interference to other components when the adjustment rod moves upward.
[0090] like Figure 26 As shown, the fixed panel 92 is provided with rake groove holes 921 and needle comb groove holes 922 that are adapted to the traction rake 12 and traction needle comb 22 which are arranged laterally. When the traction rake 12 and traction needle comb 22 are in the "retracted state" and "extended state" respectively, the rake teeth 122 and the traction hook 222 can be retracted and extended relative to the fixed panel through the rake groove holes 921 and the needle comb groove holes 922.
[0091] In this embodiment, both ends of the tension spring 72 are provided with hooks, which are combined with Figure 3 and Figure 16 Both the pull rake and the pull needle comb are provided with hook holes 701 for hooking the tension spring hooks. Each pull rake 1 and each pull needle comb 2 located above the inner cavity of the fixed base respectively receive the hook of the corresponding tension spring at one end through the hook hole; the hooks hooked to the other end of the tension spring of the pull rake 1 and the pull needle comb 2 respectively are hooked to the swing member 71 and the fixed plate 8.
[0092] like Figure 20As shown, the swing member 71 includes two hinged parts 711 with hinge holes and a connecting rod 712 connected to the swing ends of the two hinged parts and arranged laterally. The connecting rod is provided with a plurality of hook holes 701 arranged laterally in parallel. The swing member is hinged to the swing member hinge groove 917 of the fixed base 91 by the hinge holes of the hinged parts. The other end of the tension spring hooked on each pulling rake 1 is hooked to the hook hole 701 at the corresponding position of the connecting rod. Since the two swing member hinge slots 917 are located below the two nut slots 914, and the hinge part has a space 702 through which the screw passes, when the nut moves down to the position corresponding to the hinge part, it can push the hinge part to control the angle of the swing member 71, thereby controlling the tension of the tension spring 72 corresponding to the pulling rake and controlling the pulling force of the pulling rake. Since this embodiment uses the two second nuts to alternately move up and down to push the first pulling rake 11 and the second pulling rake 12 to alternately pull the woven fabric, it is possible to control the two nuts so that one nut is always in the lower position against the swing member 71, so that the swing member 71 maintains a certain angle. The angle of the swing member 71 can be adjusted by controlling the lowest position of the second nut. The pulling force of the pulling rake can be adjusted during the weaving pulling process without stopping the machine for adjustment. When the second nut 52 moves down to the bottom of the corresponding push rod and abuts against the adjusting rod 93 of the position adjusting unit, the push rod reaches the maximum position, and the second nut can continue to move down to push the swing member 71, so that the pulling force of the pulling rake applied by the tension spring reaches the set value.
[0093] like Figure 19 As shown, the lower end of the fixed plate 8 has several parallel spring holes 701. The other end of the spring hooked on the pull needle comb 2 is hooked on the hook hole 701 at the corresponding position of the connecting rod. The fixed plate 8 has a clearance slot hole 81 at the second long arm corresponding to the second switching swing arm to allow the second long arm to pass through, so that the second long arm can extend from the inside of the fixed plate to the outside to push the third push rod 33. The fixed plate 8 has a guide sliding groove 82 on the outer side of the fixed seat 91 for sliding connection of the guide sliding block 331. The third push rod 33 is slidably disposed on the outer side of the fixed plate 8.
[0094] Before starting the knitting process, at least one set of pull rakes 1 and pull needle combs 2 must be pushed to their highest positions, such as... Figure 29 As shown in Figure a, a second nut 52 is moved upward by a motor 32. Since the first driving surface 5011 is higher than the second driving surface 5021, the first driving surface 5011 first pushes the first switching lever 61 to swing upward. The first driven part 611 of the long arm on the lever drives the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 to move upward. The first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 push the first pulling rake 11 and the second pulling rake 12 upward until they reach the highest position. Figure 29Position shown in Fig. b, the position is the same as the retracted position of the first pulling rake 1; the second driving surface 5121 pushes the second switching swing rod 62 to swing upward, the second driven part 621 of the long arm rod pushes the third push rod 33 to move upward, the third push rod 33 pushes the pulling needle comb 2 to move upward until the highest position close to the cylinder mouth, as shown in Fig. c. Figure 29 Position shown in Fig. a, the position is the same as the retracted position of the first pulling rake 1; the first driving surface 5011 pushes the first switching swing rod 61 to swing upward, the first driven part 611 (i.e. one side of the first short arm rod) slides relative to the first driving surface 5011 while the first driven part 611 on the short arm rod is driven upward by the first driving surface 5011 to swing, when the first pulling rake 1 is in the retracted position at the highest position, the first driven part 611 of the first short arm rod slides out of the first driving surface 5011, and the end surface 613 of the first short arm rod is opposite to (abuts against) the abutting surface below the driving surface 5111 as the driving surface 5111 continues to move upward, as shown in Fig. b. Figure 30 Position shown in Fig. b, the end surface 613 is basically in a vertical state, the second nut 52 continues to move upward, the abutting surface 5012 on the second nut 52 slides relative to the end surface 613 of the first short arm rod, the abutting surface 5012 limits the swing of the first switching swing rod 61, and the first pulling rake 1 is maintained at the highest position.
[0095] When the bottom knitting starts, at least one group of the first pulling rake 11 and the pulling needle comb 2 are at the highest position, as shown in Fig. c. Figure 29At the position shown in FIG. 12A, the upper second nut 52 is driven to move downward by the motor 32. At this time, the abutting surface 5012 of the first driving block 501 is opposite to the end surface 613 of the first short arm of the first switching swing rod 61, so the downward movement of the first driving block 501 cannot drive the first switching swing rod 61 to swing downward. At this time, the downward movement of the second driving surface 5021 can drive the second switching swing rod 62 to swing downward, and the pulling comb 2 is driven to move downward under the action of the weight and the tension spring 72. In the initial stage of the downward movement, the pulling comb 2 swings from the retracted state to the extended state, the pulling hook 21 pulls the knitted fabric and pulls it downward. In this process, the first driving block 511 moves downward with the downward movement of the nut until the abutting surface slides out of the end surface of the first short arm of the first switching swing rod 61. At this time, the pulling comb 2 moves downward to the highest working position of the pulling rake 1, and the abutting surface 5012 of the first driving block 501 no longer limits the rotation of the first switching swing rod 61. The first switching swing rod 61 swings downward with the downward movement of the second nut 51, and the first pulling rake 11 starts to move downward under the action of the weight and the tension spring 72, and is guided by the guide structure to swing from the retracted state to the extended state. The tines 11 pull the knitted fabric, and at the same time, the pulling comb 2 is guided by the guide structure to swing from the extended state to the retracted state, and is disengaged from the pulling of the knitted fabric. The pulling comb 2 moves downward to the lowest position, and the bottom knitting pulling is completed. Subsequently, by controlling the highest position of the upward movement of the two nuts, the nuts no longer drive the pulling comb. If the second nut 52 corresponding to the first push rod 31 continues to move downward, the first pulling rake 11 continues to move downward until it is guided by the guide structure to swing from the extended state to the retracted state, and is disengaged from the pulling of the knitted fabric. The first pulling rake 11 moves downward to the lowest position, and completes one stroke of pulling of the knitted fabric. The second nut 52 abuts against the swing member 71, and then the second nut 52 corresponding to the second push rod 32 moves upward to drive the second pulling rake 12 to move upward. Then, the second nut 52 corresponding to the second push rod 32 moves downward to drive the second pulling rake 12 to move downward to pull the knitted fabric. The second nut 52 corresponding to the second push rod 32 abuts against the swing member 71. By controlling the two second nuts 52 by the motor 55, the above-mentioned alternating upward and downward movements of the two second nuts 52 are repeated, so that the first pulling rake and the second pulling rake are alternately moved upward and downward to alternately pull the knitted fabric. By controlling the stroke of the two second nuts 52 by the motor 52, the two second nuts 52 only repeatedly drive the first switching swing rod 61 but not the second switching swing rod 62, so that the first pulling rake and the second pulling rake are repeatedly and alternately moved upward and downward to repeatedly complete one stroke of pulling until the knitting is completed. When the tines 11 of the pulling rake 1 move upward with the pulling of the knitted fabric, the tines 11 rotate downward relative to the rake head 13, the tines 11 are retracted, are disengaged from the knitted fabric, and slide upward along the knitted fabric. When the tines 11 move downward, the tines 11 hook the knitted fabric, and gradually rotate upward relative to the rake head 13, and are supported to effectively pull the knitted fabric.

The present embodiment does not adopt the switching swing rod 61, 62 for switching power as adopted in Embodiment Three, but adopts a third nut separately driven by a motor to push the third push rod, thereby increasing one motor but simplifying the pulling mechanism.
[0098] The structure of the first nut 51 and the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 is the same as that of Embodiment One; as shown in Figure 34 , the third nut 53 is provided with a third driving block 503 extending outward from the fixed plate, the top end surface of the third driving block 503 constitutes a third driving surface 5031, as shown in Figure 33 , the lower end of the third push rod 33 is provided with a touch end 332, and the two touch ends 332 are arranged on both sides of the guide sliding block 331, as shown in Figure 35 , the fixed plate 8 is provided with a clearance slot hole 81 corresponding to the position of the third driving block 503, the third driving block 503 extends outward from the outer side surface of the fixed plate through the clearance slot hole 81 and is attached below the touch end 332, and the third nut 53 pushes the touch end 332 of the third push rod through the third driving surface on the top end of the third driving block to drive the pulling needle comb 2 supported thereby to move upward. The inner cavity of the fixed seat 91 is adaptively provided with three parallel nut slots, the third nut 53 is arranged in the middle nut slot, and the two first nuts 51 are arranged in the nut slots on both sides.
[0099] In the present embodiment, each pulling needle comb 2 is arranged between every two adjacent pulling rakes, and the driving process of the first pulling rake, the second pulling rake and the pulling needle comb during the base knitting is the same as that of Embodiment Three, except that they are separately driven by two first nuts and one third nut. Embodiment Five
[0100] The pulling device of the flat knitting machine of the present embodiment is based on Embodiment Two, and is additionally provided with the pulling needle comb 2 and the corresponding third push rod 53 and the third nut shown in Embodiment Four, as shown in Figure 31As shown, the pull needle comb 2 and the alternating units in the same rake groove 911 are arranged laterally at intervals. The inner cavity of the fixing base 91 is provided with three parallel nut grooves adapted to the corresponding nut positions, wherein: the third nut 53 is set in the middle nut groove, and the two first nuts 51 are set in the nut grooves on both sides. Furthermore, the first nut 51 cooperates with the first switching rocker arm 61 and the third switching rocker arm 63 to alternately drive the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32, and the third nut 53 drives the third push rod alone. Example 6
[0101] The pulling device for the horizontal knitting machine in this embodiment adopts a first pulling rake 11 and a second pulling rake 12 as shown in Embodiment 2. The first pulling rake 11 and the second pulling rake 12 are arranged alternately. The pulling needle comb 13 is arranged at the interval position of the adjacent pulling rakes, and the adjacent first pulling rakes 11 and second pulling rakes 12 form an alternating arrangement unit. In the same alternating arrangement unit, the rake handles 102 of the first pulling rake 11 and the second pulling rake 12 are arranged in the same rake groove 911, forming a further... The first phase arrangement unit is defined in the first step. The first phase arrangement unit is arranged horizontally continuously to form a row of pull rakes. The phase arrangement units of this row of pull rakes are grouped and arranged according to the sequence number of the arrangement. The arrangement is carried out according to the odd sequence number and the even sequence number to form two arrangement groups with odd sequence number and even sequence number. That is, there are two arrangement groups containing the first phase arrangement unit with odd sequence number and the first phase arrangement unit with even sequence number. The pull rakes corresponding to the two arrangement groups are supported on the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 respectively.
[0102] like Figure 36 As shown, in this embodiment, the push rod is driven by a first nut 51 and a third nut 53, which are driven by a motor, and a switching lever. The switching lever includes a first switching lever 61 and a third switching lever 63. The first nut 51 drives the first switching lever 61 and the third switching lever 63 to swing by moving upward and downward, respectively. The swinging first switching lever 61 and the third switching lever 63 push the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 to move upward, so that the first push rod and the second push rod move upward alternately. The third nut 53 is used to drive the third push rod 33 to move upward independently.
[0103] The first nut 51 and the corresponding first switching lever 61 and third switching lever 63 are the same as in Embodiment 2. The third nut 53 and the corresponding third push rod 33 are the same as in Embodiment 5. The fixed base 91 is provided with two nut slots symmetrically at the transverse center. The first nut 51 and the third nut 53 are set in the two nut slots. The corresponding first push rod 31 and second push rod 32 are no longer symmetrically arranged. Instead, the two vertical rods are biased to the left to be driven by the first nut 51. The guide sliding block 331 of the third push rod 33 is no longer set in the middle position. Instead, it is biased to the right to be driven by the third nut 53.
[0104] According to the design of the present application, the number of push rods can also be set to four, including two first push rods 31 and two second push rods 32 arranged side by side, the lateral width of which is half of the push rod in Embodiment One, so that the two first push rods 31 and the two second push rods 32 can be arranged side by side in the fixed seat 91 respectively; the several interlaced arrangement units arranged side by side are divided into two parts in the lateral direction, the odd-numbered interlaced arrangement units and the even-numbered interlaced arrangement units in one part are arranged on a first push rod 31 and a second push rod 32 respectively, and the odd-numbered interlaced arrangement units and the even-numbered interlaced arrangement units in the other part are arranged on another first push rod 31 and another second push rod 32 respectively; a corresponding first push rod 31 and a second push rod 32 are driven by a third nut 53 cooperating with a first switching swing rod 61 and a third switching swing rod 63 as shown in Figure 36 Fig. 6B. Embodiment Seven
[0105] The pulling device of the flat knitting machine of the present embodiment adopts the same first pulling rake 11, second pulling rake 12 and pulling needle comb 2 as well as the same supporting mode of the push rod as Embodiment Six, but the driving of the push rod is different from Embodiment Six, as shown in Figure 37 Fig. 6B.
[0106] The first switching swing rod 61 has the same structure as Embodiment Three, and the third switching swing rod 63 has the same structure as Embodiment Two, as shown in Figure 38 Fig. 6B.
[0107] The basic structure of the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32 is the same as in Embodiment 2. Both vertical rods are provided with sliding grooves 3022, but the position of the vertical rod relative to the horizontal rod varies depending on the contact position of the fourth nut on the first switching rocker arm. The first short arm of the first switching rocker arm 61 and the driving gear short rod of the third switching rocker arm 63 can respectively contact the first driving surface 5011 and the fourth driving surface 5013 of the fourth nut 54. The first long arm and the driven gear long rod are slidably connected to the sliding grooves on the vertical rods of the first push rod 31 and the second push rod 32, respectively. The fourth nut 54 moves upward, pushing the first short arm through the first driving surface to make the first switching rocker arm 61 swing upward. The first switching rocker arm 61 pushes the first pulling rake 11 upward. When the first driven part of the first short arm disengages from the first driving surface 5011, the end face 613 of the first short arm abuts against the abutting surface 5012 of the first driving block. In this state, the fourth nut 54 moves, forming the first driving... The sliding of the abutment surface 5012 of the block relative to the end face 613 of the first short arm prevents the fourth nut 54 from pushing the first switching lever. The fourth nut 54 continues to move upward, pushing the third push rod 33 and the pulling needle comb 2 upward through the third drive surface 5031. The fourth nut 54 moves downward, and the pulling needle comb 2 moves downward under the action of gravity and tension spring. When the abutment surface 5012 of the first drive block disengages from the end face 613 of the first short arm, the fourth nut 54 continues to move downward, and the first pulling rake 11 moves downward under the action of gravity and tension spring. At the same time, it pushes the drive gear short rod to rotate through the fourth drive surface 5013 and causes the driven gear long rod with meshing teeth to swing upward. The upward swinging driven gear long rod pushes the second push rod 32 and the second pulling rake 12 upward.
[0108] During the initial knitting process, the driving process of the first pulling rake, the second pulling rake, and the pulling needle comb is the same as in Example 3, except that they are driven in segments by the fourth nut.
[0109] In this embodiment, the swing element for adjusting the pulling force of the traction rake is a tension spring adjusting plate 73, such as... Figure 39 As shown, the tension spring adjusting plate 73 is adjustable up and down on the outside of the fixed plate 8. Each pulling rake is connected to the tension spring adjusting plate 73 by a tension spring 72, and each pulling needle comb 2 is connected to the fixed plate 8 by a tension spring 72. The pulling rake and the pulling needle comb form a downward pulling force to pull the knitted fabric by their own weight and the tension of the tension spring. Example 8
