[0002] Flat weft knitting machines are a type of automatic knitting equipment commonly used in the textile field. Towels, blankets, etc. used in daily life are all woven from wool and yarn using warp knitting machines and weft knitting machines.

[0003] The existing weft knitting machine can refer to the Chinese patent document with the announcement number CN214193682U. The above patent document discloses a fully automatic square scarf weft knitting machine, which includes a cloth feeding mechanism, a cloth pulling mechanism, a cloth cutting mechanism and a sewing machine. The cloth feeding mechanism uses a roller group to transport the cloth to the processing table, the cloth pulling mechanism pulls the fixed length of cloth and then cuts it by the cloth cutting mechanism, and finally the sewing machine locks the edge to obtain a single square scarf.

[0004] However, in the process of cooperation between the cloth feeding mechanism and the cloth pulling mechanism, in order to ensure smooth cloth pulling, the cloth feeding mechanism should not generate resistance with the cloth pulling mechanism, which will cause the cloth to be unevenly spread on the surface of the processing table during cutting, which may easily cause an increase in product size error.

The fixing effect of the clamp makes the cloth not easy to fall off, which facilitates the cloth to face the cloth pressing assembly and improves the cloth pulling efficiency.

[0025] Furthermore, the clamp includes two electromagnets facing each other, and the electromagnets generate magnetic force when energized to attract and fix each other.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, two electromagnets facing each other are set as clamps, and the cloth is fixed by magnetic attraction. The structure is simple, and the cloth can be conveniently fixed or released by controlling the on and off of the circuit.

[0037] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 The technical solution of this application is described clearly and completely.

[0038] The embodiment of the present application discloses a conveying mechanism of a flat weft knitting machine.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Reference Figure 1 A conveying mechanism of a flat weft knitting machine is provided with a built-in numerical control system, including a processing table 1, a frame 2 is provided directly above the processing table 1, a reeling roller group 3 for fixing a cloth 10 is provided on one side of the processing table 1, a cutting knife 4 is provided at one end of the reeling roller group 3 close to the processing table 1, a cloth pressing component 5 facing the processing table 1 is provided at the bottom center of the frame 2, and a cloth pulling component 6 is slidably provided on the frame 2 and arranged opposite to the reeling roller group 3.

[0041] The unwinding roller group 3 unwinds the rolled cloth 10 onto the processing table 1, the cloth pulling assembly 6 pulls the end of the cloth 10 to make the cloth 10 flat on the processing table 1, the cloth pressing assembly 5 first flattens the cloth 10 on the processing table 1, and the cutter 4 then cuts the cloth 10, thereby reducing the size error of the towel product and improving the cutting accuracy.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 The processing table 1 is square, and the frame 2 includes a welded crossbeam 21, a longitudinal beam 22 and a support frame 23. The bottom of the support frame 23 is welded and fixed to the processing table 1, and the crossbeam 21 and the longitudinal beam 22 are perpendicular to each other and parallel to the processing table 1. A first electric slide rail 211 is provided on the crossbeam 21, and a second electric slide rail 221 is provided on the longitudinal beam 22. The cloth pulling assembly 6 is slidably connected to the first electric slide rail 211, and the cloth pressing assembly 5 is slidably connected to the second electric slide rail 221. The sewing station is selected to be set at the end of the longitudinal beam 22 away from the crossbeam 21. After the shearing is completed, the cloth pressing assembly 5 presses against the cloth 10 and slides along the second electric slide rail 221 to directly move the cloth 10 to the sewing station. At the same time, the cloth pulling assembly 6 continues to pull the next section of cloth 10, thereby expanding the use function of the cloth pressing assembly 5.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 The cloth pressing assembly 5 includes a third electric slide 51, a telescopic rod 52 and a pair of cloth pressing members 53. One end of the telescopic rod 52 is fixedly connected to the center of the third electric slide 51. One end of the telescopic rod 52 away from the third electric slide 51 is slidably connected to the second electric slide 221. The third electric slide 51 is vertically and slidably connected to the second electric slide 221. The two ends of the third electric slide 51 are slidably connected to a cloth pressing member 53. The telescopic rod 52 is extended to make the cloth pressing member 53 close to the processing table 1. The two cloth pressing members 53 slide away from each other to flatten the cloth 10. The cloth pressing member 53 is a strip counterweight 531, and the length of the strip counterweight 531 matches the width of the cloth 10. The strip counterweight 531 is preferably made of steel. The cloth pressing member 53 is set as a strip counterweight 531 that matches the width of the cloth 10. In addition to increasing the effective area, the cloth pressing effect can also be improved by using its own weight, making the cloth 10 smoother. The strip-shaped counterweight block 531 is also connected to an electric heater. The electric heater can increase the temperature of the strip-shaped counterweight block 531, thereby playing the role of ironing and shaping the cloth 10. Compared with other materials such as plastic and wood, the strip-shaped counterweight block 531 made of metal has better thermal conductivity.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 The cloth pulling assembly 6 includes a fixedly connected connection portion 61 and a clamp 62. One end of the connection portion 61 away from the clamp 62 is slidably connected to the first electric slide rail 211. The clamp 62 is used to fix the cloth 10. The clamp 62 includes two electromagnets 621 facing each other. The electromagnets 621 are energized to generate magnetic force to attract and fix each other. The connection portion 61 with the clamp 62 is slidably connected to the first electric slide rail 211, so that the cloth 10 can be pulled along the length direction of the cloth 10. The fixing effect of the clamp 62 makes it difficult for the cloth 10 to fall off, which facilitates the cloth 10 to face the cloth pressing assembly 5, thereby improving the cloth pulling efficiency. The cloth 10 is fixed by magnetic attraction, and the structure is simple. The cloth 10 can be conveniently fixed or released by controlling the on and off of the circuit.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the structure of the cloth pressing member 53 is different.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 The cloth pressing member 53 is a roller 532. The cloth pressing member 53 is set as a roller 532 to make the cloth pressing process smoother, reduce the load of the third electric slide 51 driving the cloth pressing member 53 to slide, and avoid the sharp edge of the cloth pressing member 53 surface from damaging the surface of the cloth 10 as much as possible.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] The difference between the embodiment 3 and the embodiment 1 is that the structure of the cloth pressing member 53 is different.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 The cloth pressing member 53 has a hollow cavity inside, and a plurality of air holes 533 are opened at the bottom of the cloth pressing member 53 to communicate with the hollow cavity, and the hollow cavity is communicated with an external steam generator. During the moving cloth pressing process, steam is sprayed onto the surface of the cloth 10 through the air holes 533, which can wet the cloth 10 and protect the fabric from being burned during ironing.

[0051] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described above are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made by ordinary technicians in this field based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application without making any creative work should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
