The end of the rebound foot 16 is a protrusion 19 with an arc, and the protrusion 19 of the rebound foot 16 is just located on the slide rail of the low-profile insert 4. The pushing part 11 has a limiting slide groove 18, and the limiting slide groove 18 located above the rebound foot 16 is formed by being recessed from bottom to top. The bending position of the limiting slide groove 18 adopts an arc design to ensure that the limiting cylinder 53 of the knitting needle pressure block 5 can slide smoothly along the path.

[0028] The heel 14 of the elastic sinker 1 is pushed forward by the skewer of the mountain board. At this time, the rebound foot 16 exerts an upward force on the end of the elastic sinker 1 through its own elastic force. Under the restriction of the sliding cylinder 52, the front end of the elastic sinker 1 swings downward, the straight slot hole 17 moves forward along the sliding cylinder 52, and the limiting cylinder 53 moves to the limiting slide groove 18 to balance the force direction of the entire elastic sinker 1. When the coil passes by, the elastic sinker 1 has a range of upward swinging while ensuring sufficient downward pressure, and the force of pressing the wire is more flexible to avoid damage to the coil.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a needle plate device with the elastic sinker 1 comprises: front and rear needle plates 2, an elastic sinker 1, a high-profile plug-in 3, a low-profile plug-in 4, and a knitting needle pressure block 5, the front and rear needle plates 2 are provided with a plug-in stopper 6 at both ends, the front and rear needle plates 2 are provided with a plurality of high-profile plug-ins 3 at intervals along the width direction, and two knitting needle pressure blocks 5 are inserted between adjacent high-profile plug-ins 3, the elastic sinker 1 and the low-profile plug-in 4 are arranged between the two knitting needle pressure blocks 5, the elastic sinker 1 is located above the low-profile plug-in 4, the knitting needle 7 is arranged below the knitting needle pressure block 5, a short tooth piece 101 is arranged below the front end of the high-profile plug-in 3, a tooth piece 102 is arranged below the front end of the elastic sinker 1, the short tooth piece 101 and the tooth piece 102 are spaced apart and laterally distributed, the knitting needle pressure block 5 extends the length of the bottom area, increases the contact surface with the knitting needle 7, limits the knitting needle 7, and improves the stability of the knitting needle 7 when it is displaced. An arc-shaped protrusion is provided above the low-profile insert 4, and a slide rail is formed behind the arc-shaped protrusion for the end of the rebound foot 16 to slide. The end of the rebound foot 16 of the elastic sinker 1 moves forward and backward along the slide rail. The arc-shaped protrusion can resist the protrusion 19 at the end of the rebound foot 16, playing a certain blocking role, preventing the rebound foot 16 from leaving its range.

The insert block 6 supports the entire row of needle groups and the two ends of the insert, improving the overall stability of the device, and the sliding baffle 8 can be installed by the baffle screw 81 on the side, and the sliding baffle 8 can slide forward and backward. When it is necessary to pull out the inserted needle ruler 10 and the steel wire 9, the sliding baffle 8 is pushed backward to release the blocking on both sides, and then it can be pulled out. On the contrary, the position of the upper edge of the insert block 6 is used to block it to prevent the inserted needle ruler 10 and the steel wire 9 from easily falling off. Example

[0032] In the above scheme, the end of the knitting needle pressing block 5 is provided with a slot 54 for inserting the steel wire 9, the slot 54 is a round hole and is opened outward at one time, which is convenient for pulling out from the steel wire 9, and is convenient for replacement and maintenance.
