[0002] Computerized flat knitting machine is a double-needle plate latch needle weft knitting loom. Compared with ordinary knitting machines, computerized flat knitting machine is an automated machine with higher technical content in the knitting machine industry. It integrates computer digital control, electronic drive, mechanical design and other technologies. The sinker is an important component in the computerized flat knitting machine. Its function is to press down the fabric being knitted to assist the knitting needle in withdrawing the loop.

[0003] However, when the existing sinker is used in the flat knitting machine for de-looping or needle turning, although the sinker can suppress the fabric on this side, the knitting needle will lift the fabric on this side too high when de-looping or needle turning, resulting in a large lifting angle, which will cause the de-looping to fail. The tension between the coil and the knitting needle is relatively loose and insufficient, so that the fabric still remains on the knitting needle, or when the needle is turned, the knitting needle on the opposite side hooks the coil below the coil that needs to be hooked, which will make the fabric scrapped, which also increases the cost of the factory in disguised form and reduces the production efficiency of the factory.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope is not limited to this embodiment. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention should belong to the protection scope of the present invention. At the same time, it should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a sinker for a 3.5-needle computerized flat knitting machine includes a rod portion 1, a connecting portion 2 located below the rod portion 1, a pressing portion 3 is provided on one side of the connecting portion 2, and a mounting portion 4 is located below the connecting portion 2, and an arc groove 5 is opened between the pressing portion 3 and the connecting portion 2.

[0018] The pressing portion 3 includes a transition surface 1 6, an arc surface 7, a concave surface 8, an inclined surface 9 and a transition surface 2 10 in sequence. The left end of the transition surface 1 6 is tangent to the arc groove 5, the right end of the transition surface 2 10 is tangent to the left end of the arc surface 7, the right end of the arc surface 7 is tangent to the left end of the concave surface 8, the right end of the concave surface 8 is tangent to the left end of the inclined surface 9, the right end of the inclined surface 9 is tangent to the left end of the transition surface 2 10, and the right end of the transition surface 2 is tangent to the connecting portion 2.

[0019] Furthermore, the horizontal distance between the rightmost end of transition surface 1 6 and the rightmost end of transition surface 2 10 is 3.2-3.5 mm, the vertical distance between the lowest end of transition surface 1 6 and the topmost end of transition surface 2 10 is 4.5-5 mm, the radius of concave surface 8 is R0.2-R0.6, the radius of transition surface 1 6 is R0.5-R1, the radius of arc surface 7 is R5-R6, the radius of transition surface 2 10 is R0.5-R1, and with rod portion 1 as the vertical direction, in the vertical state, the angle between inclined surface 9 and rod portion 1 is 85-90°.

[0020] The arc groove 5 includes a transition surface three 11, an anti-slip surface one 12, an anti-slip surface two 13 and an anti-slip surface three 14 in sequence. The left end of the transition surface three 11 is tangent to the mounting portion 4, the right end of the transition surface three 11 is tangent to the left end of the anti-slip surface one 12, the right end of the anti-slip surface one 12 is tangent to the left end of the anti-slip surface two 13, the right end of the anti-slip surface two 13 is tangent to the left end of the anti-slip surface three 14, and the right end of the anti-slip surface three 14 is tangent to the left end of the transition surface one 6.

[0021] Furthermore, the radius of the transition surface three 11 is R1-R2, the radius of the anti-slip surface one 12 is R11-R11.5, the radius of the anti-slip surface two 13 is R1.5-R2, and the radius of the anti-slip surface three 14 is R6-R6.5.

[0022] The mounting portion 4 is inclined at a tangent plane to the transition surface 6, with the rod 1 being the vertical direction. In the vertical state, the angle between the mounting portion 4 and the rod 1 is 74-75°, and a mounting hole 15 is also provided on the mounting portion 4.

[0023] Through the above technical scheme, a pressing part 3 for pressing the opposite needle plate is arranged at the front end of the sinker. In this embodiment, the horizontal distance between the rightmost end of the transition surface 1 6 of the sinker and the rightmost end of the transition surface 2 10 and the vertical distance between the lowest end of the transition surface 1 6 and the top end of the transition surface 2 10 can just make the concave surface 8 on the pressing part 3 be stuck into the fabric of the opposite needle plate, and play an auxiliary pressing role on the fabric on the opposite side. The inclined surface 9 and the arc surface 7 of the pressing part 3 can well prevent the pressed fabric from moving left and right or the pressed fabric from escaping during the process of withdrawing or turning the needle. When the knitting needles of the computer flat knitting machine withdraw the loop or turn the needle, the sinker on this side presses the fabric on this side into the arc groove 5, and the sinker on the opposite side presses down at the same time, and the setting is utilized. The pressing part 3 at the front end of the sinker presses the fabric on the opposite side, and due to the computer flat knitting machine, the position of the sinker on the opposite side of the fabric is just in the middle of the sinker on this side and the knitting needle. When withdrawing the loop or turning the needle, if there is no assistance from the sinker on the opposite side, the knitting needle on this side will be lifted at a large angle, which will lead to failure in withdrawing the loop or when turning the needle, the knitting needle on the opposite side will hook the coil below the coil that needs to be hooked, thereby resulting in waste. With the assistance of the sinker on the opposite side, the lifting angle of the knitting needle on this side is greatly reduced, and the fabric is kept close to the knitting needle when withdrawing the loop, and the tension is sufficient, thereby increasing the success rate of withdrawing the loop. When turning the needle, due to the small lifting angle, the coil below the coil that needs to be hooked is lifted to a small extent, and it is easier to hook the required coil with the knitting needle, thereby increasing the success rate of turning the needle.

[0024] In addition, the anti-slip surface 1 12, the anti-slip surface 2 13 and the anti-slip surface 3 14 of the arc groove 5 are all in the form of arcs, which can enable the sinker to better press the fabric on this side when pressing down. Since they are all in the form of arcs, the fabric can also be better prevented from slipping out of the arc groove 5 during the process of retracting or turning the needle of the flat knitting machine.
