[0002] A safety door is installed on the frame of the circular knitting machine to effectively prevent accidents. At present, the safety door is usually opened and closed manually. The manual switch not only brings inconvenience to the staff, but also reduces the working efficiency of the machine, which cannot keep up with the development needs of machine automation. Nowadays, some companies have explored the automatic control of safety doors. The design scheme includes installing a telescopic mechanism, which is mainly placed between the safety door and the three-pronged base through the front and rear connecting components, and a pivot connection is established with the safety door and the three-pronged base, and then the safety door is controlled by a pneumatic or hydraulic push rod. The disadvantage is that the pneumatic device is located between the safety door and the three-pronged base during the opening and closing process, which requires a large space, and the pivot connection is located on the front and rear sides of the pneumatic device, which makes it easy for the safety door to open and close unsmoothly.

[0016] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following embodiments are described in detail in conjunction with the attached drawings. Figure 1-3 , the utility model is further described in detail.

[0017] An automatic opening and closing device for a circular knitting machine safety door comprises a three-pronged base plate 4, a tripod frame, a safety door 3 and a telescopic device 5. The telescopic device 5 comprises a cylinder 501, a connecting rod 508 and a mounting plate 510. The cylinder 501 is fixed to the three-pronged base plate 5, the mounting plate 510 is fixed to the safety door 3, and one end of the cylinder 501 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 508.

[0018] The tripod frame is composed of three lower legs 2 and a large plate 1. The lower legs 2 are fixed by a three-pronged base plate 4 below.

[0019] The safety door 3 is arranged between the two lower legs 2, and the safety door 3 is rotatably connected to the lower legs 2.

[0020] The front and rear ends of the cylinder 501 are fixed with a cylinder fixing block 502 by a first screw 504 , and the cylinder fixing block 502 is fixed by a second screw 503 and the three-pronged bottom plate 4 .

[0021] One end of the connecting rod 508 is connected to the cylinder 501 via a Y-type joint 505. The cylinder 501 includes a cylinder rod, one end of which is threadedly connected to the Y-type joint 505. The Y-type joint 505 is connected to the connecting rod 508 via a third screw 506 and a nut 507.

[0022] One end of the connecting rod 508 is connected to the mounting plate 510 via a joint 509 , the joint 509 and the connecting rod 508 are connected via a third screw 506 and a nut 507 , and the joint 509 is connected to the mounting plate 510 via a fourth screw 511 .

[0023] The mounting plate 510 is fixed to the mounting door 3 by the fifth screw 512, and a long slot is provided on the mounting plate 510, and the fifth screw 512 is located in the long slot. The mounting plate 510 is fixed to the safety door 3 by screws, and the height of the mounting plate 510 on the safety door 3 (the position of the fifth screw 512 in the long slot) can be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0024] The safety door 3 is divided into two leaves, which are opened in an eight-shaped pattern. The two safety doors are respectively installed on the left and right feet and rotate with the rotation axis as the center of the circle. A cylinder telescopic device 5 is installed under the three-pronged bottom plate 4 on the corresponding side of each safety door 3.
