Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of knitting flat knitting machine technology, specifically relating to an aluminum cover connecting mechanism for the knitting flat knitting machine head. Background Technology
[0002] The knitting head is a crucial component of a flat knitting machine. By precisely positioning itself on the needle plate, the head controls the accurate movement of designated needles according to the pattern requirements. The aluminum cover, as part of the knitting head, not only houses other components but also connects to the track to drive its movement. During normal operation, the fit between the aluminum cover and the track must be absolutely precise, without any looseness or error. Therefore, high accuracy and integrity are required in the connection mechanism between the aluminum cover and the track. To facilitate the disassembly and maintenance of the aluminum cover and ensure consistent fit during each assembly and disassembly, locating pins are often used in the connection mechanism between the aluminum cover and the track to provide a positioning reference.
[0003] Currently, the connection mechanism between the aluminum cover and the track often consists of multiple connecting components, such as the head connector connected to the aluminum cover and the track connector connected to the track, as well as the mating components between the head connector and the track connector. The more connecting components between the aluminum cover and the track, the more complex the mating relationships between the components become, requiring more precision adjustments and positioning pins, and increasing the risk of loosening during operation. Furthermore, more connecting components increase the manufacturing cost of the flat knitting machine. For example, the head connection mechanism of the flat knitting machine disclosed in CN203475078U includes a head connector connected to the aluminum cover of the head and a track connector connected to the track. The mating relationships between the aluminum cover and the head connector, and between the head connector and the track connector, all require adjustment and calibration, and the installation personnel need certain operating experience. During operation, this connection mechanism also has many potential points of loosening.
[0004] Currently, both the aluminum cover of the machine head and the connecting seat have bolt holes for bolts to pass through, achieving a tight connection. However, the machining accuracy of the bolt holes in the aluminum cover and the connecting seat, as well as the bolts themselves, is difficult to guarantee effectively, and the machining errors vary between different batches. This makes it difficult to adjust the fit between the aluminum cover and the connecting seat, resulting in high operational difficulty and slow efficiency. Furthermore, there is a lack of effective positioning reference points between the aluminum cover and the connecting seat. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an aluminum cover connecting mechanism for a flat knitting machine to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0007] The aluminum cover connecting mechanism of a flat knitting machine includes a machine head aluminum cover, a connecting plate, and a track. The machine head aluminum cover is provided with a connecting post. The connecting plate includes an aluminum cover connecting part and a track connecting part. The aluminum cover connecting part includes a connecting post through hole for cooperating with the connecting post. The connecting post is provided with a fastener, which securely connects the connecting plate to the mechanism aluminum cover. The track connecting part is provided with a track clamping plate, which cooperates with the track connecting part to clamp the track.
[0008] The fastener is a nut, and the connecting post is provided with threads for use with the nut.
[0009] The connecting column and the aluminum cover of the machine head are an integral structure.
[0010] A positioning pin is provided between the aluminum cover of the machine head and the connecting plate.
[0011] The track clamp is equipped with clamp teeth that mesh with the track teeth. The clamp teeth and track teeth not only effectively fix the connecting plate at the connection position of the track, but also enable the track to effectively drive the aluminum cover to move.
[0012] A gasket is held between the track clamp and the track connection portion. The gasket includes a first gasket and a second gasket, with the first gasket located on one side of the track and the second gasket located on the other side of the track. By providing the first and second gaskets on both sides of the track, the left and right sides of the track can be limited.
[0013] The track clamp and the track connection are connected by track bolts, and the gasket is provided with track bolt holes for the track bolts to pass through.
[0014] The track bolt holes of the gasket are formed by grooves.
[0015] The track connection section is provided with track bolt through holes for track bolts to pass through. The track bolt through holes are strip-shaped. The strip-shaped through holes facilitate adjustment of the gap between the aluminum cover and the track.
[0016] This invention pre-installs the connecting post on the aluminum cover of the machine head, providing a positioning reference point for the connecting plate to connect to the aluminum cover of the machine head. This facilitates the connecting plate to be fitted onto the connecting post, and the positional relationship between the connecting plate and the aluminum cover of the machine head can be adjusted to achieve the positioning and connection of the connecting plate to the aluminum cover of the machine head. This reduces the difficulty of operation and improves the assembly efficiency.
[0017] This utility model adopts an integrated connecting plate, which reduces the connecting parts between the aluminum cover of the machine head and the track. This not only facilitates assembly and debugging, but also reduces the impact of machining accuracy errors of the parts, the number of positioning pins used, and the risk of loosening. It can also reduce the manufacturing cost of the flat knitting machine. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The aluminum cover connection mechanism of a flat knitting machine, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes an aluminum head cover 1, tracks 2, and connecting plate 3, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the aluminum cover 1 of the machine head is provided with a first connecting post 11 and a second connecting post 12. Both the first connecting post 11 and the second connecting post 12 are fixedly mounted on the aluminum cover 1 of the machine head, forming an integral structure with the aluminum cover 1. The first connecting post 11 is threaded with a first nut, and the second connecting post 12 is threaded with a second nut. Figure 7 As shown, track teeth 21 are fixedly provided at equal intervals on the inner wall of track 2.
[0027] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the connecting plate 3 includes an aluminum cover connecting part and a track connecting part. The aluminum cover connecting part is located at one end of the connecting plate 3 and forms an angle with the track connecting part. The aluminum cover connecting part includes a first connecting post through hole 111 that cooperates with the first connecting post 11 and a second connecting post through hole 112 that cooperates with the second connecting post 12. In use, the first nut of the first connecting post 11 and the second nut of the second connecting post 12 are removed. After the connecting plate 3 is fitted into the first connecting post 11 and the second connecting post through hole 112, the first nut is tightened on the first connecting post 11 and the second nut is tightened on the second connecting post 11, so that the connecting plate 3 is firmly connected to the aluminum cover 1 of the machine head. During the connection process, the position of the connecting plate 3 relative to the aluminum cover 1 of the machine head can be adjusted to achieve the positioning and connection of the connecting plate 3 to the aluminum cover 1 of the machine head. A positioning pin is installed between the aluminum cover 1 of the machine head and the connecting plate 3.
[0028] The track connecting portion of the connecting plate 3 includes four strip-shaped through holes 31, each connected to a track bolt. Each track bolt connects to a track clamping plate 4, which has bolt holes 42 for use with the track bolts. The track 2 is clamped between the track clamping plate 4 and the track connecting portion. The track bolts cause the track clamping plate 4 and the track connecting portion to hold the track 2. The four strip-shaped through holes 31 are all arranged along the length of the connecting plate 3. In use, the track bolts can move within the strip-shaped through holes 31 to adjust the position of the track clamping plate 4 connected to the connecting plate 3, thereby adjusting the distance between the aluminum cover 1 and the track 2.
[0029] The track clamp 4 is provided with clamp teeth 41 that mesh with the track teeth 21. On both sides of the clamp teeth 41, a gasket is provided between the track clamp 4 and the track connection part. The gasket includes a first gasket 5 and a second gasket. The first gasket 5 is located on one side of the track 2, and the second gasket is located on the other side of the track 2. The track 2 is located between the first gasket 5 and the second gasket. The track teeth 21 of the track 2 mesh with the clamp teeth 41 of the track clamp 4.
[0030] Both the first gasket 5 and the second gasket are provided with track bolt holes for track bolts to pass through. The track bolt holes are formed by grooves 51, and the openings of the grooves 51 are all facing the clamping teeth 41, so that the gaskets are fed from one side of the track 2 into the track clamping plate 4 and the connecting plate 3. The track bolts cause the track clamping plate 4 and the track connecting part to clamp the track 2 and the gaskets, so that the connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the track 2, thereby realizing the track 2 driving the head aluminum cover 1.
[0031] The above embodiments do not limit the present invention in any way. All technical solutions obtained by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
