[0040] Refer to Figures 1-6, A circular knitting machine with an adjustable yarn rack, comprising a frame 1, a large plate base 11 and a pedestal 12. The large plate base 11 is arranged on the frame 1. The large plate base 11 is provided with several brackets 13 and is connected to the pedestal 12. A rod component 2 is arranged on the bracket 13. The top of the rod component 2 is connected with a yarn supply component 3, and several rod components 2 support the yarn supply component 3;

[0041] The yarn supply component 3 includes a base 31, a first carrier plate 32, a second carrier plate 33, a yarn rack rod 34 and a driving gear 35. The base 31 is arranged within the placement area formed by several support components 5. Both the first carrier plate 32 and the second carrier plate 33 are arranged on the base 31. The first carrier plate 32 is located within the second carrier plate 33. The first carrier plate 32 has several evenly distributed openings 321. One end of the opening 321 extends to the outside of the second carrier plate 33. Several yarn rack rods 34 are respectively movably arranged on the openings 321. The width of the opening 321 is greater than the width of the yarn rack rod 34. The yarn rack rod 34 is supported by the first carrier plate 32 and the second carrier plate 33 during movement;

[0042] Several tooth grooves 341 are arranged at one side of the yarn rack rod 34 at intervals. A placement groove 331 is arranged in the inner ring of the second carrier plate 33. A gear disk 332 is arranged in the placement groove 331. The driving gear 35 is rotatably arranged on the base 31. The tooth part of the driving gear 35 meshes with the tooth grooves 341, and the other part meshes with the gear disk 332, so as to realize the movement of the yarn rack rod 34 in a gear transmission manner;

[0043] When one group of driving gears 35 rotates, with the cooperation of the gear disk 332, the rest of the driving gears 35 rotate synchronously. With the cooperation of the tooth grooves 341 and the driving gears 35, the yarn rack rod 34 can move relatively along the opening 321, and the synchronous movement of several yarn rack rods 34 is realized through the cooperation of the gear disk 332 and the driving gears 35;

[0044] A groove 342 for placing a yarn loop bracket is arranged on the yarn rack rod 34. The arrangement of the groove 342 is used to carry the yarn loop bracket.

[0045] Based on the above structure, since the driving gear 35 meshes with the tooth groove 341 provided on the yarn rack rod 34, when the driving gear 35 rotates, the yarn rack rod 34 moves along the rotation direction of the driving gear 35 under the cooperation of the tooth groove 341, so that the yarn rack rod 34 extends or retracts. Moreover, since a part of the driving gear 35 meshes with the gear disk 332 located in the second bearing disk 33, when one set of driving gears 35 rotates and drives the gear disk 332 to rotate, the gear disk 332 will drive the remaining driving gears 35 to rotate, causing the remaining yarn rack rods 34 to move, thereby changing the overall size of the yarn rack and facilitating the adjustment of the yarn rack size according to the actual situation. By changing the position of the yarn rack rod 34 through the gear transmission method, it is avoided that enterprises need to equip yarn racks of different sizes, resulting in space accumulation, and the problem that the existing circular knitting machine cannot adjust the size of the yarn rack according to the actual situation is solved.

[0046] In one of the embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 , it further includes a spraying assembly 4. The spraying assembly 4 includes a water mist nozzle 41 and a water tank 42. A flow groove 121 is provided on the pedestal 12, and a water inlet interface 122 is provided on the pedestal 12. One end of the water inlet interface 122 is communicated with the flow groove 121. The water tank 42 is arranged on the frame 1. The water tank 42 is connected to the water inlet interface 122 through a pipeline, and the water tank 42 is connected to an external water source. A pressurizing component is arranged in the water tank 42;

[0047] The water mist nozzle 41 is arranged on the pedestal 12. Several water mist nozzles 41 are arranged and evenly distributed on the pedestal 12. The liquid in the water tank 42 enters the pedestal 12 through the water inlet interface 122 and is sprayed out through the water mist nozzle 41, thereby increasing the humidity of the air. The arrangement of several water mist nozzles 41 can increase the water mist area and can cover the circular knitting machine. The output end of the water mist nozzle 41 faces the yarn rack rod 34, and there is yarn on the yarn rack rod 34. By contacting the water mist with the yarn, the dryness of the yarn is reduced, and it is avoided that the dryness of the yarn causes static electricity during the processing of the circular knitting machine, thereby affecting the product quality of the fabric.

[0048] In one of the embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6, the yarn supply assembly 3 further includes a driving motor 36. The driving motor 36 is arranged at the bottom of the base 31. The output end of the driving motor 36 is installed with a shaft rod 361 through a coupling. The driving motor 36 is a servo driving motor in the prior art, which provides power for the rotation of the shaft rod 361. One end of the shaft rod 361 passes through the base 31 and is connected to one set of driving gears 35. By connecting the shaft rod 361 with the driving gears 35, when the shaft rod 361 rotates, the driving gears 35 are driven to rotate. By adjusting the rotation direction of the driving motor 36, the telescopic movement of the yarn rack rod 34 is realized.

[0049] In one implementation, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , a receiving groove 3421 is arranged on one side of the groove 342. A supporting component 5 is arranged in the receiving groove 3421. The supporting component 5 includes an elastic component 51 and a clamping plate 52. One end of the elastic component 51 is connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove 3421, and the other end is connected to the clamping plate 52. The elastic component 51 is a telescopic spring, a compression spring or a torsion spring in the prior art. When the yarn coil bracket is located in the groove 342, the clamping plate 52 abuts against the outer circumference of the yarn coil bracket. Since the sizes of different-sized yarn coil brackets are different, the clamping plate 52 in the supporting component 5 abuts against the yarn coil bracket, so that the fixing of the yarn coil bracket can be realized. And because the clamping plate 52 is connected to the elastic component 51, the position of the clamping plate 52 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the yarn coil bracket.

[0050] In one implementation, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the support rod component 2 includes a fixed seat 21, a movable frame 22 and a bolt 23. The fixed seat 21 is arranged on the frame 1. The fixed seat 21 has a sliding groove 211. One end of the movable frame 22 is movably arranged in the sliding groove 211, and the other end of the movable frame 22 is connected to the base 31. The overall height of the support rod component 2 is composed of the part of the movable frame 22 located in the sliding groove 211 and the height of the fixed seat 21. By moving the movable frame 22 in the sliding groove 211, the position of the base 31 changes synchronously. By changing the position of the base 31, the distance between the yarn and the large disc seat 11 is changed, so as to adjust the tension of the yarn during movement, so as to be applicable to different types of yarns;

[0051] The fixed seat 21 is provided with a through hole 212 penetrating into the sliding groove 211. The movable frame 22 has mounting holes 221. There are several mounting holes 221, which are evenly distributed along the length direction of the movable frame 22. When the through hole 212 is aligned with a set of mounting holes 221, the pin 23 is passed through the through hole 212 and the mounting hole 221. The fixed seat 21 and the movable frame 22 are supported by the pin 23, and the pin 23 limits the movable frame 22 to prevent the movable frame 22 from shaking during movement, thereby improving the stability of the yarn feeding assembly 3 during operation.

[0052] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 , a protective pad 521 is provided on the side of the engaging plate 52 away from the elastic member 51. The protective pad 521 is made of rubber material. When the engaging plate 52 approaches the yarn bobbin bracket, the protective pad 521 abuts against its outer peripheral surface, thereby preventing the engaging plate 52 from wearing the outer peripheral surface of the yarn bobbin bracket and avoiding increasing the friction when contacting the yarn bobbin bracket.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present disclosure.

[0054] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are only for clearly illustrating the present disclosure, rather than limiting the scope of the present disclosure. For those skilled in the art, other changes or modifications can be made on the basis of the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications are still within the scope of the present disclosure.
