Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of glove machine technology, and in particular to a glove machine assembly method and a glove machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing and assembly of glove machines, the overall mechanical precision and long-term operational stability are the core factors determining the quality of knitted products, production efficiency, and equipment maintenance costs. As a key component forming the knitting benchmark, the needle plate needs to be precisely and stably mounted on the left and right side panels. The flatness of the needle plate mounting plane and the consistency of its spatial orientation (i.e., coplanarity) are the geometric basis of the entire equipment's precision chain.

[0003] The current industry standard assembly method involves first installing the left and right side panels onto the frame, then installing the needle plate onto the side panels, and finally mounting the machine head onto the guide rail between the left and right side panels. However, this existing assembly technology has a significant drawback: the lack of a dedicated inspection tool capable of quickly, on-site, and with high precision directly inspecting the congruence of the needle plate mounting surfaces on the left and right side panels already installed on the frame. This makes the assessment of assembly quality heavily reliant on subjective experience, resulting in unquantifiable precision control and delayed problem detection.

[0004] Typically, after assembling the machine head, testing the distance between the machine head and the needle plate reveals that the distance does not meet requirements (i.e., the concentricity of the needle plate mounting surface on the wall panel is not satisfactory), leading to an unacceptable gap between the needle plate and the machine head. To solve this problem, the existing technical solution involves sequentially removing the machine head, needle plate, and other assembled components, readjusting the wall panel's mounting posture, and then reinstalling the needle plate and machine head. This process often requires multiple cycles of disassembly and reassembly, repeated trial and error, until the distance between the machine head and the needle plate meets the requirements (i.e., the concentricity of the needle plate mounting surface on the wall panel is satisfactory). This significantly prolongs the assembly cycle, reduces assembly efficiency, and substantially increases labor and time costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a glove assembly method and a glove machine. The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A glove machine assembly method includes the following steps: Step 1, Preparation of each unit component: Assemble the frame, wall panel assembly, needle plate assembly, and head unit separately; Step 2, Install the wall panel: Based on Step 1, fix the wall panel assembly onto the frame; Step 3, coplanarity test: Based on step 2, use a flatness gauge to test the coplanarity of the mounting surface of the pin plate in the wall panel assembly; Step 4, Analysis and processing of coplanarity test results: Based on the analysis and processing of the coplanarity of the pin plate mounting surface in the wall panel assembly in Step 3; Step 4.1: If the concentricity of the mounting surface of the needle plate in the wall panel assembly meets the requirements, then the needle plate assembly is fixedly installed on the mounting surface of the needle plate in the wall panel assembly. Step 4.2: If the concentricity of the mounting surface of the pin plate in the wall panel assembly does not meet the requirements, adjust the wall panel assembly using the adjusting component, and then repeat steps 3 and 4. Step 5, Install the head unit: Based on step 4, install the head unit on the wall panel assembly, wherein the head unit is installed above the needle plate assembly; Step 6, Adjust the spacing: Based on step 5, adjust the spacing between the machine head and the needle plate assembly in the machine head unit.

[0006] Further, step 2 includes: Step 2.1: Securely install the oil pan onto the frame; Step 2.2: Based on step 2.1, the wall panel assembly is fixedly installed on the oil pan.

[0007] Further, step 3 includes: Step 3.1: Install the flatness gauge on the pin plate mounting surface of the wall panel assembly; Step 3.2: Determine whether the requirements are met by checking whether a feeler gauge can be inserted into the gap between the flatness gauge and the mounting surface of the wall panel assembly pin plate.

[0008] Furthermore, if the feeler gauge can be inserted into the gap, the concentricity of the mounting surface of the needle plate in the wall panel assembly does not meet the requirements; if the feeler gauge cannot be inserted into the gap, the concentricity of the mounting surface of the needle plate in the wall panel assembly meets the requirements.

[0009] Furthermore, the specific steps for adjusting the wall panel assembly using the adjusting component in step 4.2 are as follows: by adding a compensating shim between the wall panel assembly and the oil pan, the concentricity of the needle plate mounting surface in the wall panel assembly is adjusted.

[0010] A glove-making machine, comprising: frame; A wall panel assembly, which is fixedly connected to the frame; A needle plate assembly, which is fixedly connected to a wall panel assembly; The head unit is slidably connected to the wall panel assembly and is positioned above the needle plate assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, an oil pan is provided between the wall panel assembly and the frame, and the wall panel assembly is fixedly connected to the frame through the oil pan.

[0012] Furthermore, the wall panel assembly includes a left wall panel and a right wall panel, both of which are fixedly connected to the oil pan; the needle plate assembly includes a front needle plate and a rear needle plate, both of which are fixedly disposed between the left and right wall panels.

[0013] Furthermore, the left wall panel is provided with a needle plate mounting surface A and a needle plate mounting surface C, and the right wall panel is provided with a needle plate mounting surface B and a needle plate mounting surface D; the front needle plate is fixedly mounted on the needle plate mounting surface A and the needle plate mounting surface B, and the rear needle plate is fixedly mounted on the needle plate mounting surface C and the needle plate mounting surface D.

[0014] Furthermore, the machine head unit includes a machine head shaft and a machine head, the machine head being slidably connected to the machine head shaft, and the two ends of the machine head shaft being fixedly connected to the left wall panel and the right wall panel, respectively.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: By adding a step of using a flatness gauge to check the concentricity of the pin plate mounting surface of the wall panel assembly after the wall panel assembly is installed and before the pin plate assembly is installed, and then using an adjusting component to adjust the wall panel assembly, the following advantages are achieved: The core benchmark accuracy, which was originally dependent on experience and difficult to control, has been transformed into a rapid, quantifiable, and on-site determination using flatness gauges and feeler gauges, thus ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the needle plate installation benchmark at the source of assembly.

[0016] It changes the inefficient mode of repeated disassembly and reassembly of some components in traditional assembly, significantly improves assembly efficiency, shortens the assembly cycle, and reduces labor and time costs.

[0017] It provides a simple, cost-effective, and efficient on-site solution. The flatness gauge and feeler gauge combination used in the assembly process is simple to use, easy to operate, and provides intuitive judgment. It does not require complex instruments or advanced skills and is easy to promote and implement on the production line. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the following embodiments, so that the public can better understand the implementation method of this invention. The specific implementation scheme of this invention is as follows: A glove machine assembly method includes the following steps: Step 1, Preparation of Each Unit Component: Assemble the frame 1, wall panel assembly, needle plate assembly, and head unit separately. This step prepares the basic unit components that make up the glove machine to facilitate the subsequent assembly of each unit component. The wall panel assembly includes the left wall panel 2 and the right wall panel 3, which need to be assembled independently; the needle plate assembly includes the front needle plate 4 and the rear needle plate 5, which also need to be assembled independently.

[0024] Step 2, Install the wall panels: Based on Step 1, fix the wall panel assembly onto the frame 1; this step involves installing the already assembled left wall panel 2 and right wall panel 3 onto the frame 1 respectively using bolts.

[0025] Preferably, the frame 1 is a sheet metal frame.

[0026] Step 3, coplanarity test: Based on step 2, use flatness gauge 7 to perform coplanarity test on the mounting surfaces of the pin plates in the wall panel assembly; this step is to perform coplanarity test on the mounting surfaces of the pin plates of the left wall panel 2 and the right wall panel 3 installed on the frame 1.

[0027] Step 3.1: Install the flatness gauge 7 on the pin plate mounting surface of the wall panel assembly; Step 3.2: Determine whether the requirements are met by checking whether a feeler gauge can be inserted into the gap between the flatness gauge 7 and the mounting surface of the pin plate of the wall panel assembly.

[0028] Furthermore, if the feeler gauge can be inserted into the gap, the concentricity of the mounting surface of the needle plate in the wall panel assembly does not meet the requirements; if the feeler gauge cannot be inserted into the gap, the concentricity of the mounting surface of the needle plate in the wall panel assembly meets the requirements.

[0029] In the specific operation process, the flatness gauge 7 is placed on the needle plate mounting surfaces of the left wall panel 2 and the right wall panel 3, respectively, with a gap between the bottom surface of the flatness gauge 7 and the needle plate mounting surface. A feeler gauge of a specific thickness is used to compare the gap between the bottom surface of the flatness gauge 7 and the needle plate mounting surface. If any feeler gauge can be inserted into the gap between the bottom surface of the flatness gauge 7 and the needle plate mounting surface, then the coplanarity of the left wall panel 2 and the right wall panel 3 does not meet the requirements; if neither feeler gauge can be inserted into the gap between the bottom surface of the flatness gauge 7 and the needle plate mounting surface, then the coplanarity of the left wall panel 2 and the right wall panel 3 meets the requirements.

[0030] It should be noted that the flatness gauge 7 has a sufficiently long reference span, which can simultaneously cover the needle plate mounting surfaces on the same plane on the left wall panel 2 and the right wall panel 3, and directly detect the relative height difference between the two.

[0031] Preferably, the thickness of the feeler gauge is 0.01 mm.

[0032] Step 4, Analysis and processing of coplanarity test results: Based on the analysis and processing of the coplanarity of the pin plate mounting surface in the wall panel assembly in Step 3; Step 4.1: If the concentricity of the mounting surface of the needle plate in the wall panel assembly meets the requirements, then the needle plate assembly is fixedly installed on the mounting surface of the needle plate in the wall panel assembly.

[0033] In the specific operation process, the front needle plate 4 of the needle plate assembly is fixedly installed on the needle plate mounting surfaces of the left wall plate 2 and the right wall plate 3 on the same plane using bolts; then the rear needle plate 5 of the needle plate assembly is also fixedly installed on the needle plate mounting surfaces of another left wall plate 2 and the right wall plate 3 on the same plane using bolts.

[0034] Step 4.2: If the concentricity of the mounting surface of the needle plate in the wall panel assembly does not meet the requirements, adjust the wall panel assembly using an adjusting member, and then repeat steps 3 and 4. The specific steps for adjusting the wall panel assembly using the adjusting member in step 4.2 are as follows: adjust the concentricity of the mounting surface of the needle plate in the wall panel assembly by adding a compensating shim between the wall panel assembly and the oil pan 6.

[0035] The specific operation process involves using the flatness gauge 7 and feeler gauge together. Based on the insertion position and thickness of the feeler gauge, it is determined which wall panel and which pin plate mounting surface is too high or too low. Then, an adjusting element is added at the corresponding position between the wall panel (left wall panel 2 or right wall panel 3) and the corresponding oil pan 6 to individually adjust the spatial orientation of that wall panel, ensuring it is coplanar with the corresponding mounting surface of the other wall panel. After this operation, the coplanarity of the pin plate mounting surfaces is checked again using the flatness gauge 7 and feeler gauge. If the coplanarity meets the requirements, step 4.1 is repeated. If the coplanarity still does not meet the requirements, step 4.2 is repeated. This cycle continues until the coplanarity of the pin plate mounting surfaces meets the requirements.

[0036] Preferably, the adjusting element is a compensation shim, and the thickness of the compensation shim is 0.01 mm.

[0037] Step 5, Install the head unit: Based on step 4, install the head unit on the wall panel assembly, the head unit being installed above the needle plate assembly.

[0038] In the specific operation process, the head shaft 9 of the head unit is fixedly installed between the left wall plate 2 and the right wall plate 3, and then the head 8 of the head unit is installed on the head shaft 9 in a sliding structure. The head 8 is located above the needle plate assembly.

[0039] Step 6, Adjusting the Spacing: Based on Step 5, adjust the spacing between the machine head 8 and the needle plate assembly in the machine head unit. Specifically, use a dedicated adjustment tool to adjust the distance between the machine head 8 and the needle plate assembly to ensure a suitable spacing.

[0040] It should be noted that step 2 specifically includes: Step 2.1: Fix the oil pan 6 onto the frame 1; the oil pan 6 is independent and is fixed onto the frame 1 by bolts.

[0041] Step 2.2: Based on step 2.1, the wall panel assembly is fixedly installed on the oil pan 6; the left wall panel 2 and the right wall panel 3 of the wall panel assembly are respectively fixedly installed on different independent oil pans 6.

[0042] By introducing the oil pan 6 as a key connector between the wall panel assembly and the frame 1, the following advantages are achieved: First, the oil pan 6 sets the installation reference of the wall panel assembly on an independent, easily precision-machined intermediate component, reducing the reliance on excessively high precision of the frame 1 body; second, the mating surface between the oil pan 6 and the wall panel forms an interface that facilitates precision compensation, providing convenience for fine-tuning the spatial orientation of the wall panel assembly (i.e., the concentricity of the mounting surface of the same plane needle plate) by adding compensation shims; in addition, the oil pan 6 facilitates the collection of oil droplets dripping from the machine head 8 during operation, avoiding direct oil contamination on the frame 1.

[0043] A glove machine includes a frame 1; a wall panel assembly is fixedly connected to the upper end of the frame 1, a needle plate assembly is fixedly connected to the wall panel assembly, a machine head unit is disposed above the needle plate assembly, and the machine head unit is slidably connected to the wall panel assembly.

[0044] It should be noted that an oil pan 6 is provided between the wall panel assembly and the frame 1, and the wall panel assembly is fixedly connected to the frame 1 through the oil pan 6.

[0045] It should be noted that the wall panel assembly includes a left wall panel 2 and a right wall panel 3, both of which are fixedly connected to the oil pan 6; the needle plate assembly includes a front needle plate 4 and a rear needle plate 5, both of which are fixedly disposed between the left wall panel 2 and the right wall panel 3.

[0046] Furthermore, the left wall panel 2 is provided with a needle plate mounting surface A10 and a needle plate mounting surface C12, and the right wall panel 3 is provided with a needle plate mounting surface B11 and a needle plate mounting surface D13; the front needle plate 4 is fixedly mounted on the needle plate mounting surfaces A10 and B11, and the rear needle plate 5 is fixedly mounted on the needle plate mounting surfaces C12 and D13. The needle plate mounting surfaces A10 and B11 are coplanar, and the needle plate mounting surfaces C12 and D13 are coplanar.

[0047] The flatness gauge 7 measures the coplanarity of the needle plate mounting surface A10 and the needle plate mounting surface B11, and the coplanarity of the needle plate mounting surface C12 and the needle plate mounting surface D13.

[0048] It should be noted that the machine head unit includes a machine head shaft 9 and a machine head 8. The machine head 8 is slidably connected to the machine head shaft 9, and the two ends of the machine head shaft 9 are fixedly connected to the left wall plate 2 and the right wall plate 3, respectively.

[0049] The working principle and process of this invention are as follows: By adding a flatness gauge 7 to check the concentricity of the pin plate mounting surface of the wall panel assembly after the wall panel assembly is installed and before the pin plate assembly is installed, and by using an adjusting component to adjust the wall panel assembly, the system achieves on-site, quantifiable, and rapid judgment, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the pin plate installation benchmark at the source of assembly. The system adopts a pre-installation inspection and fine-tuning mode instead of the overall rework mode after installation, significantly shortening the assembly cycle and improving assembly efficiency.

[0050] In the description of the invention, although the invention has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand from the foregoing description that other embodiments may be conceived within the scope of the invention thus described.
