It is used to control the trajectory of the knitting needles and realize the actions of yarn padding, closing, looping, bending, looping and looping, so as to complete the knitting. At present, the structure design of the needle turning cam assembly on the cam base is complex, which not only increases the production cost, but also increases the failure rate. It is also inconvenient to assemble and easily affects the knitting quality. In particular, the needle turning cam assembly is prone to needle collision, which increases the production cost; and after the needle is hit, it is not easy to repair.

[0003] For example, CN115387015A discloses a needle pushing, weaving and loop shifting control mechanism for a knitting needle flat knitting machine, comprising a triangle bottom plate and a driver mounted on the triangle bottom plate, a needle pushing triangle assembly and a loop shifting triangle assembly are arranged on the triangle bottom plate, the needle pushing triangle assembly comprises a left needle pushing triangle and a right needle pushing triangle which are arranged along the vertical surface of the triangle bottom plate, the loop shifting triangle assembly (the same as the needle turning triangle assembly) comprises a left switching triangle, a right switching triangle and a loop shifting triangle which are arranged along the vertical surface of the triangle bottom plate, and the two ends of the driver respectively drive the needle pushing triangle assembly and the loop shifting triangle assembly to move along the vertical surface of the triangle bottom plate, so as to realize that the needle pushing triangle assembly and the loop shifting triangle assembly protrude or retract into the triangle. Base plate; the surface of the triangular base plate is provided with a transfer ring support and a transfer ring transmission assembly connected to the driver transmission, the transfer ring triangle seat is provided with a transfer ring guide post hole for the left switching triangle, the right switching triangle and the transfer ring triangle to slide, and the transfer ring transmission assembly is respectively connected to the left switching triangle, the right switching triangle and the transfer ring triangle; the transfer ring transmission assembly includes a lifting slide that moves back and forth horizontally along the triangular base plate, and the lifting slide is provided with a slide groove, and the slide groove guides the left switching triangle, the right switching triangle and the transfer ring triangle to move along the vertical surface of the triangular base plate respectively; the left switching triangle, the right switching triangle and the transfer ring triangle are all provided with a connecting rod that cooperates with the slide groove along the triangular base plate, and the middle part of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the transfer ring support.
