[0016] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the automatic reset sinker for a knitting machine is provided with a mounting hole, a clamping groove, a square groove, a connecting hole, a placement groove and a connecting assembly. When the automatic reset sinker is disassembled and assembled, the traction block is pulled to drive the clamping block to rise through the connecting rope, so that the mounting hole and the clamping groove are exposed, and the fixing steel wire passes through the clamping groove and enters the mounting hole. Then, the hand is released to make the elastic member rebound, push the clamping block down, and make the lower end of the clamping block enter the fixing groove, so that the fixing steel wire is connected to the automatic reset sinker. Compared with the prior art, since the knitting machine is in use, Collisions may occur between the internal mechanism and the automatic reset sinker, causing damage to the automatic reset sinker. The automatic reset sinkers are usually uniformly installed inside the knitting machine. When replacing them, all the automatic reset sinkers need to be released from the limit fixation at the same time, and then uniformly restored to the fixation after replacement, making the replacement of the automatic reset sinker cumbersome and time-consuming, and inconvenient to replace. The automatic reset sinker for a knitting machine can be disassembled and assembled separately when damaged, without affecting the installation and fixation of other automatic reset sinkers. It is simple and convenient and easy to replace. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
