[0002] The warp knitting machine groove needle is a key component of the warp knitting machine and is used to guide the yarn for knitting. After long-term use, the existing warp knitting machine groove needles often affect the knitting quality and efficiency due to wear. Therefore, improving the wear resistance and strength of the groove needles has become an urgent need in the industry.

[0003] At present, in order to improve the wear resistance of the groove needles, common methods include manufacturing the groove needles with high-hardness materials or coating the surface of the groove needles with wear-resistant coatings. However, while these methods improve the wear resistance, they often sacrifice the toughness of the groove needles, making the groove needles prone to wear or breakage during high-speed knitting, which affects the stability and service life of the warp knitting machine.

[0004] Therefore, a high-strength and wear-resistant warp knitting machine groove needle is now proposed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to improve the problem that the prior art fails to well balance the wear resistance and strength of the groove needles, making the groove needles prone to wear or breakage during high-speed knitting, which affects the stability and service life of the warp knitting machine, the utility model provides a high-strength and wear-resistant warp knitting machine groove needle.

This characteristic helps to reduce the friction coefficient between the yarn and the surface of the grooved needle during high-speed knitting, thereby improving the knitting efficiency and quality.

[0015] Optionally, the transition layer is a gradient material layer, and its hardness gradually increases from the side of the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part to the side of the high-hardness needle tip part.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, it helps to alleviate the stress concentration problem that may be caused by the material hardness difference between the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part and the high-hardness needle tip part, thereby improving the reliability of the grooved needle in a complex knitting environment and enhancing the structural strength and service life of the grooved needle.

[0017] Optionally, the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part and the high-hardness needle tip part are firmly combined through a precision casting process.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability and durability of the grooved needle during use are ensured, thereby extending the service life of the grooved needle.

Moreover, when the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part accidentally breaks, under the connection action of the reinforcing wires, it is not easy for the broken part to fly.

[0023] Optionally, positioning parts are integrally connected to both sides of the end of the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part far from the high-hardness needle tip part, and the two positioning parts and the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part form a Z-shaped structure.

The high-strength alloy steel ensures that the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part 1 has excellent toughness and impact resistance, thereby enhancing the overall structural strength of the sinker. The high-hardness needle tip part 2 adopts a cemented carbide needle tip. Cemented carbide has the advantages of high hardness and excellent wear resistance, etc., and can effectively resist the friction and wear generated by the yarn on the high-hardness needle tip part 2 during the knitting process. At the same time, further, the cemented carbide material that the high-hardness needle tip part 2 can adopt can be replaced with other super-hard materials according to actual needs, such as cubic boron nitride or diamond, etc. These materials have higher hardness and wear resistance, and can further improve the durability of the needle tip. The high-hardness needle tip part 2 is of a streamline design. The design of this structure not only reduces the frictional resistance of the contact surface between the yarn and the sinker, but also improves the knitting efficiency. The high-hardness needle tip part 2 is fixedly installed at one end of the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part 1. The high-strength and high-toughness needle body part 1 and the high-hardness needle tip part 2 are firmly combined through a precision casting process, ensuring the stability and durability of the sinker during use, and thus extending the service life of the sinker.

[0038] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the surface of the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part 1 is coated with a self-lubricating coating 3, and the self-lubricating coating 3 is a nano-ceramic coating. The nano-ceramic coating not only has excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and can protect the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part 1 from damage in harsh working environments, but also has a self-lubricating function. This characteristic helps to reduce the friction coefficient between the yarn and the surface of the groove needle during high-speed knitting, thereby improving the knitting efficiency and quality. Further, the self-lubricating coating 3 can also be replaced with other types of wear-resistant coatings according to specific circumstances, such as cermet coatings or polymer composite coatings, etc., to meet different knitting environments and process requirements. A transition layer 4 is provided on the surface of the connection between the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part 1 and the high-hardness needle tip part 2. The transition layer 4 is a gradient material layer, and its hardness gradually increases from the side of the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part 1 to the side of the high-hardness needle tip part 2. This design helps to relieve the stress concentration problem that may be caused by the material hardness difference between the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part 1 and the high-hardness needle tip part 2, thereby improving the reliability of the groove needle in complex knitting environments and enhancing the structural strength and service life of the groove needle.

The reinforcing wires 5 are titanium alloy wires, and the titanium alloy wires have the advantages of high strength and high toughness. A number of X-shaped connectors 6 are fixedly installed between two adjacent reinforcing wires 5. The X-shaped connectors 6 and the reinforcing wires 5 are of an integral structure, and the X-shaped connectors 6 strengthen the connection between two adjacent reinforcing wires 5. By arranging a number of high-strength and high-toughness reinforcing wires 5 inside the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part 1, it helps to improve the overall strength and toughness of the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part 1. Moreover, when the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part 1 accidentally breaks, under the connection action of the reinforcing wires 5, it is not easy for the broken part to fly out.

[0040] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , on both sides of one end of the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part 1 far from the high-hardness needle tip part 2, positioning parts 7 are integrally connected. The two positioning parts 7 and the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part 1 form a Z-shaped structure. Through the design of the two positioning parts 7, compared with the design of a single positioning part 7 in the prior art, it is beneficial to reduce the force at the positioning part 7, thereby improving the stability during the installation of the groove needle. Moreover, the two positioning parts 7 and the high-strength and high-toughness needle body part 1 form a Z-shaped structure, improving the positioning effect during the installation of the groove needle, and helping to improve the problem of poor positioning effect between a single positioning part 7 and the groove needle connecting seat and inconvenient installation in the prior art.
