[0044] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0045] Refer to the attached Figures 1-4 , a nozzle for a water jet knitting machine, comprising a spray needle 1, a spray body 2, a flow guide ring 3, an adjusting ring 4, an end cover 5, and a guide ring 6;

[0046] The spray needle 1 is installed in the spray body 2, and the needle tip 11 of the spray needle 1 penetrates through the flow guide ring 3. Specifically, the spray needle 1 includes a needle tip 11 and a needle body 12. The needle tip 11 is thinner, and its outer diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the needle body 12. The needle tip 11 penetrates through the flow guide ring 3. Both ends of the needle body 12 are hermetically fitted with the spray body 2 through a first sealing ring. An annular plug 7 is adhesively fixed to the outside of the end of the needle body 12 away from the needle tip 11, and the outer wall of the plug 7 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the spray body 2;

[0047] The spray body 2 is located between the annular base 31 and the needle body 12 and is spaced apart from the needle head 11 to form a water inlet chamber 21. A plurality of spaced water inlet holes 22 are provided on the side wall of the water inlet chamber 21. The axis of the water inlet hole 22 is inclined relative to the axis of the spray body 2, that is, it is inclined relative to the direction of movement of the weft (the central axis hole of the spray needle 1 is the inlet hole for the weft to pass through), thereby increasing the pressure of the water outlet, increasing the weft bundling force and improving the spray distance of the weft;

[0048] The guide ring 3 includes an annular base 31 and a plurality of elastic petals 32 spaced apart along the annular base 31, wherein the annular base 31 is made of rubber, and the elastic petals 32 are made of metal. The outer wall of the annular base 31 is coaxially bonded and fixed to the inner wall of the spray body 2, and the annular base 31 is vulcanized and bonded to the elastic petals 32. The elastic petals 32 extend out of the spray body 2 and are inclined toward the spray needle 1. The gap 33 between adjacent elastic petals 32 is filled with an elastic membrane 34, and the elastic membrane 34 is made of rubber. Both sides of the elastic membrane 34 are vulcanized and bonded to the elastic petals 32, and the root thereof can be integrally formed with the annular base. The thickness of the elastic membrane 34 is generally the thickness of the elastic petals 32, so as to have good elasticity to adapt to the change in the size of the gap 33 when the elastic petals 32 are retracted or loosened;

[0049] The outer ring 41 of the adjustment ring 4 is coaxially fixed to the inner wall of the end cover 5, and the inner ring 42 thereof is sleeved outside all the elastic petals 32 of the guide ring 3 and presses against each elastic petal 32, and the end cover 5 is a structure with openings at both ends;

[0050] The end cap 5 has a guide ring 6 embedded in one end and the inner wall of the other end is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the spray body 2. By screwing the end cap 5, the adjustment ring 4 is driven to rotate synchronously and move axially, thereby closing or loosening each elastic petal 32 to adjust the size of the gap 33 between the guide ring 3 and the needle 11.

[0051] In this embodiment, the inner hole of the annular base 31 gradually contracts from the side of the spray needle 1 to the side of the end cover 5 , and the hole wall of the inner hole is a curved surface.

[0052] In this embodiment, the adjustment ring 4 includes an inner ring and an outer ring, and the inner ring and the outer ring are connected by a rib plate 43. The inner ring is conical, which increases the fitting area between the inner ring and the elastic petal 32 to a certain extent and improves stability.

[0053] In this embodiment, the spray needle 1 and the guide ring 6 are both made of ceramic material, preferably oxidized ceramic material, to improve the wear resistance and stability of the components.

[0054] The nozzle generally further includes a flow straightening ring (not shown in the figure). The flow straightening ring is disposed in the water inlet cavity and located between the water inlet holes and the annular base body. The outer wall of the flow straightening ring is adhesively fixed to the inner wall of the spray body. The flow straightening ring is provided with flow straightening holes or flow straightening comb teeth distributed in a ring shape, and a flow straightening gap with an opening at the end (the end facing the center side) is formed between adjacent flow straightening comb teeth.

Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variation thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "including a..." does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the said element.

[0056] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
