Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of flat knitting machines, in particular to a guide rail adjustment device for flat knitting machines. Background Art

[0002] A flat knitting machine, also known as a flat knitting machine, is a type of knitting machinery. It generally refers to a horizontal knitting machine, that is, a machine that uses a horizontal knitting needle bed for knitting. The guide rail is installed on the frame, generally divided into two parts, front and back, which are the tracks for the machine head to travel. There is also a yarn mouth guide rail above the rear guide rail, which is mainly used for the yarn mouth to move smoothly left and right with the random head or to replace the yarn mouth.

[0003] The guide rails of a knitting machine are generally wedge-shaped structures, with the guide rails on both sides inclined. When the knitting machine is inspected and repaired, the guide rails need to be adjusted. Existing guide rail adjustment generally only supports the guide rails from below through a support mechanism, so that when the guide rails are supported, only the lower track is subjected to force, making the lower track easily compressed and bent, which is inconvenient for guide rail adjustment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to solve the shortcomings in the prior art and proposes a guide rail adjustment device for a flat knitting machine.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a guide rail adjustment device for a knitting machine, comprising a base plate, a support column is movably connected to the base plate, a rotating groove is provided on the top of the support column, a first connecting hole is provided on the side wall of the support column, a rotating column is movably connected inside the first connecting hole, a gear is movably connected to the surface of the rotating column, a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove, a connecting block is movably connected to the rotating shaft, teeth are provided on the lower surface of the connecting block, the side edge of the gear is meshed with the side edge of the connecting block, and the top of the connecting block is fixedly connected to the support plate.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] A moving groove is provided on the surface of the bottom plate, and a moving block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support column, and the moving block is located inside the moving groove.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] A protrusion is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating column, and the gear is located on the protrusion.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] A second connection hole is formed on the other side wall of the support column, and one end of the rotating column is located inside the second connection hole.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The structure of the second connection hole is a "rice" - shaped structure.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] A connection groove is provided on the surface of the support plate, and a limiting plate is movably connected inside the connection groove.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The limiting plate is installed on the support plate by screws.

[0018] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. Compared with the prior art, for this rail installation and adjustment device for a knitting flat knitting machine, through the support column, rotating column, gear, connection block, and support plate, when in use, the support plate is placed below the rail to be installed and adjusted. The inclination angle of the support plate can be adjusted by rotating the rotating column, so that the support plate can support the rail inside the rail in an inclined state, increasing the contact area with the rail. In contrast, the conventional rail installation and adjustment device generally only supports the rail from below through a support mechanism, resulting in only the lower rail being stressed when the rail is supported, making the lower rail prone to being pressed and bent, and not facilitating the installation and adjustment of the rail. This rail installation and adjustment device for a knitting flat knitting machine can adjust the inclination angle of the support plate to better support the rail, facilitating the installation and adjustment of the rail of the knitting flat knitting machine.

[0020] 2. Compared with the prior art, for this rail installation and adjustment device for a knitting flat knitting machine, through the bottom plate, moving groove, support column, and moving block, the position of the support column on the bottom plate can be adjusted by moving the support column during use, enabling the support plate to better support the rail, so that this rail installation and adjustment device for a knitting flat knitting machine can be applicable to the installation and adjustment of rails with different spacings, facilitating use.
