Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of splicing and sealing technology, specifically to a method for integrated knitting of a sweater cylinder. Background Technology

[0002] A flat knitting machine, also known as a flat knitting machine or computerized flat knitting machine, is a double-needle plate-latch weft knitting machine primarily used to knit yarn into fabrics. Its cam mechanism resembles a set of planar cams. The needle feet can enter the grooves of the cams, and by moving the cams, the needles are forced to move up and down rhythmically within the needle grooves of the needle plate. Through the action of the needle hook and the needle latch, the yarn is knitted into fabric. During the upward movement of the needle, the loops gradually exit the needle hook, the needle latch opens, and the needle latch is removed and hooked onto the needle bar. During the downward movement of the needle, the needle hook catches newly placed yarn and pulls it to bend into a loop. Simultaneously, the existing loops exit the needle hook, and the new loops pass through the old loops, connecting in series. Numerous loops are interconnected to form the knitted fabric, as disclosed in application number CN201380006792.7, which describes a knitting method for a flat knitting machine and the flat knitting machine itself. However, when sewing the seams of knitted fabrics such as the hem, cuffs, and collar of a sweater, conventional splicing methods often result in thick seam allowances, making sewing difficult and unsightly. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for integrated knitting of sweaters in a cylindrical shape. This method solves the problems of difficulty in sewing and unsightly appearance caused by the thick edges of the cylindrical parts (hem, cuffs, collar), making the overall appearance of the garment more exquisite and beautiful.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A method for integrated circular knitting of a sweater, using a flat knitting machine having at least a front needle bed and a rear needle bed and capable of loop transfer between the front and rear needle beds, the flat knitting machine having a first knitting system and a second knitting system, and equipped with a first yarn feeder and a second yarn feeder, with the front facing the front needle bed as the reference direction, includes the following steps: Step 1: In the initial state, both the machine head and the yarn feeder are stopped on the right side, and the front and rear needle beds are loops; Step 2: The machine head moves from right to left. The first knitting system with the first yarn feeder knits one row from right to left using double loop stitches. Then, it knits one row from left to right using non-flipping loop stitches on the front needle bed. The second knitting system, with the second yarn feeder, starts from the back needle bed and knits one row from left to right using the back needle bed non-turning loop stitch. Then, it cycles through the front needle bed non-turning loop stitch and the back needle bed non-turning loop stitch, with openings on both sides. Step 3: One turn before the end of the knitting, the first knitting system with the first yarn feeder knits the front needle bed without turning the stitches until the edge of the garment piece. The second knitting system with the second yarn feeder knits the back needle bed without turning the stitches until the edge of the garment piece. The stitches on both the front and back needle beds need to be loosened on the last turn. Step 4: Sew the front needle beds together and the back needle beds together, with all stops facing inwards.

The first knitting system, with the first yarn feeder, knits one row from right to left using double loop stitches. Then, it knits one row from left to right using non-flipping loop stitches on the front needle bed. The second knitting system flips the first stitch on both sides of the rear needle bed from back to front. The second knitting system, with the second yarn feeder, starts from the back needle bed and knits one row from left to right using the back needle bed without turning the needle loops. The first stitch on each side of the back needle bed is then gathered together with the front needle bed. The first knitting system, with the first yarn feeder, starts knitting one row from left to right using the front needle bed non-turning loop stitch, followed by a cycle of the front needle bed non-turning loop stitch and the back needle bed non-turning loop stitch. Step 3: One turn before the end of the knitting, the first knitting system with the first yarn feeder knits the front needle bed without turning the stitches until the edge of the garment piece. The second knitting system with the second yarn feeder knits the back needle bed without turning the stitches until the edge of the garment piece. The stitches on both the front and back needle beds need to be loosened on the last turn. Step 4: Sew the first stitch of the front needle bed, with all stops facing inwards.

[0006] Preferably, the method is applied to the splicing of the hem, cuffs, and collar edges.
