[0031] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the present utility model provides a technical solution for a circular weft knitting machine sleeve running-in device, which includes:

[0032] Frame 1, the frame 1 serves as the basic support structure of the entire running-in device. A through hole is provided on the left side of the frame 1, and a sleeve 18 is rotatably arranged in the through hole. A support base 11 for support is provided on the right side of the frame 1, and an intermediate bearing seat 14 and a motor base plate seat 15 are provided on the support base 11.

[0034] Transmission device 3, the transmission device 3 includes a pulley assembly, a synchronous pulley assembly and a transmission shaft 141 on the intermediate bearing seat 14. The power provided by the power device 2 is sequentially transmitted to the sleeve 18 through the pulley assembly, the transmission shaft 141 and the synchronous pulley assembly, thereby driving the sleeve 18 to rotate.

[0035] In order to improve the support stability and structural strength, the base of the support base 11 is in an I-shaped shape, and a first support plate 12 extends vertically upward from the middle position. A second support plate 13 is provided on one side of the first support plate 12 close to the sleeve 18, a motor base plate seat 15 is provided on the other side of the first support plate 12, and an intermediate bearing seat 14 is sleeved inside the second support plate 13.

[0036] To optimize the efficiency and precision of power transmission, the pulley assembly is divided into a small pulley 31, a large pulley 32, and a V-belt 36. The synchronous pulley assembly is divided into a small synchronous pulley 33, a large synchronous pulley 34, and a transmission belt 37. The small pulley 31 is drivingly connected to the large pulley 32 through the V-belt 36, and the small synchronous pulley 33 is drivingly connected to the large synchronous pulley 34 through the transmission belt 37.

[0037] To ensure the accurate transmission of the motor power, the small pulley 31 is sleeved on the output end of the motor 21, and the large pulley 32 and the small synchronous pulley 33 are sleeved on the transmission shaft 141 in the order from top to bottom.

[0038] To achieve the stable rotation of the sleeve, a head spindle 35 is sleeved in the middle of the large synchronous pulley 34, and its top end is fixed by a nut and a bearing. The head spindle 35 passes through another bearing and is connected to the sleeve 18, so that the large synchronous pulley 34 can drive the sleeve 18 to rotate stably and precisely through the head spindle 35.

[0039] To avoid vibrations and stress concentrations caused by imbalance during the rotation of the sleeve, a counterweight 4 is also installed on the periphery of the sleeve 18. The counterweight 4 is installed around the sleeve 18 in a detachable manner. The weight and shape of the counterweight 4 are designed according to the size, weight, and moment of inertia of the sleeve 18 to avoid vibrations and stress concentrations caused by imbalance.

[0040] To reduce the wear of the bearings inside the sleeve, multiple counterweights 4 are provided and distributed in the circumferential direction of the sleeve 18 to reduce the wear of the bearings inside the sleeve 18 and extend its service life.

[0041] To achieve precise control and speed regulation of the motor, an electric control box 16 and a frequency converter 17 are respectively provided on the left and right sides at one end of the frame 1 far from the sleeve 18.

The rotation of the large synchronous pulley 34 is transmitted to the sleeve 18 through the head spindle 35, driving the sleeve 18 to perform precise running-in.

[0044] This application adopts a multi-stage transmission system and combines with the frequency converter 17 to achieve stepless speed regulation, enabling the sleeve 18 to be gradually run-in at different speeds. Compared with the traditional single-speed running-in, it can more comprehensively remove the assembly stress, improve the surface finish and fitting accuracy of the bearing, thereby improving the running-in efficiency and significantly shortening the running-in time.

[0045] The overall structure of this application is designed compactly, greatly saving the occupied space, making the workshop layout more reasonable. Moreover, the inclined design and detachable connection method of the motor base seat 15, combined with the adjustment holes 153 at the connection of the bolts 152, make the installation, maintenance and position adjustment of the motor 21 more convenient.

[0049] The V-belt 36 is adopted between the pulleys of the present application. Its cross-section is trapezoidal, generating a large frictional force, suitable for transmitting large torque and power, with a high transmission efficiency, capable of effectively preventing slipping, ensuring stable power output, and is mostly used in occasions where stable transmission is required; the transmission belt 37 adopted between the synchronous pulleys has a rectangular or circular cross-section, with stable transmission, low noise and certain elasticity, capable of buffering vibration and impact, applicable to the transmission links that require buffering and shock absorption, and can reduce the vibration transmission during the transmission process and improve the transmission stability.
