[0020] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installation", "connection" and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the internal connection of two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-4, an embodiment provided by the utility model: a cotton cleaning device for a knitting machine, including a frame 1 and a fabric surface 2 passing through the internal space of the frame 1. The fabric surface 2 is formed by knitting various raw materials and yarns of different varieties into coils with knitting needles and then connecting them by stringing. After passing through the cotton cleaning in the frame 1, it is then rolled up by a fabric roller, and the knitting process of the knitting machine is completed. The upper and lower ends of the frame 1 are connected to the inside of a filter integration box 3 through an external connecting pipe 5. The left end of the filter integration box 3 is conductively connected to the right end of an exhaust fan 4. The exhaust fan 4, through the filter integration box 3 and the external connecting pipe 5, sucks floating objects such as cotton fluffs and flying yarn hairs inside the frame 1. The filter integration box 3 filters the extracted floating objects such as cotton fluffs and flying yarn hairs. Inside the frame 1, there are an upper cotton cleaning chamber and a lower cotton cleaning chamber. The internal structures of the upper cotton cleaning chamber and the lower cotton cleaning chamber are the same and are symmetrically distributed with the fabric surface 2 as the symmetry axis. The upper cotton cleaning chamber cleans the upper part of the fabric surface 2, and the lower cotton cleaning chamber cleans the lower part of the fabric surface 2. Inside the lower cotton cleaning chamber, there are a first fixed cavity 11 and a second fixed cavity 13. Inside the first fixed cavity 11, there is a first rotating roller 12, and inside the second fixed cavity 13, there is a second rotating roller 14. The rear ends of the rotating rods of the first rotating roller 12 and the second rotating roller 14 are fixedly connected to the output end of a motor. An annular brush 15 is sleeved outside the first rotating roller 12 and the second rotating roller 14. The top side of the annular brush 15 is in contact connection with the bottom side of the fabric surface 2. When the motor drives the first rotating roller 12 and the second rotating roller 14 to rotate, when the first rotating roller 12 and the second rotating roller 14 rotate, the annular brush 15 can roll up floating objects such as cotton fluffs and flying yarn hairs attached to the fabric surface 2. The bottom hole slots of the first fixed cavity 11 and the second fixed cavity 13 face the air suction port of an air suction pipe 16, and the air outlet of the air suction pipe 16 is conductively connected to the external connecting pipe 5. The air suction pipe 16 can suck away floating objects such as cotton fluffs and flying yarn hairs on the annular brush 15.

[0022] The right side of the first fixed cavity 11 is fixedly connected to the left side of the second fixed cavity 13. The inner side walls of the first fixed cavity 11 and the second fixed cavity 13 are of an arc structure. When the air suction pipe 16 sucks air, the air will flow along the arc-shaped channel between the annular brush 15 and the second fixed cavity 13, reducing the extra space and enhancing the suction force on the floating objects attached to the annular brush 15.

[0023] Inside the filter integration box 3, there is a detachable collection frame 31. Inside the left wall of the collection frame 31, there is a filter net 32. The filter net 32 can filter floating objects in the air. On the right side of the top end of the collection frame 31, there is a first collar 34, and on the right side of the top end of the filter integration box 3, there is a second collar 35. A positioning rod 36 is inserted into the first collar 34 and the second collar 35. Inserting the positioning rod 36 into the first collar 34 and the second collar 35 can fix the collection frame 31 inside the filter integration box 3. Pulling out the positioning rod 36, the collection frame 31 can be taken out from inside the filter integration box 3.

[0024] In the middle of the collection box 31, there is a filter screen 33. The filter screen 33 divides the collection box 31 into two collection spaces on the left and right. Each collection space corresponds to the discharge port of an external connecting pipe 5 respectively, so that the floating objects sucked by the external connecting pipe 5 can be collected separately.

[0025] At the bottom of the collection box 31, there are rollers 37. The sides of the rollers 37 roll along the chute 38. The chute 38 is arranged inside the bottom end of the filter integration box 3. The rollers 37 can rotate inside the chute 38, saving the force for pulling out the collection box 31.

[0026] When in use, the cloth surface 2 is fixed between the upper floc removal chamber and the lower floc removal chamber. The motor drives the first rotating roller 12 and the second rotating roller 14 to rotate. When the first rotating roller 12 and the second rotating roller 14 rotate, the annular brush 15 can roll up the floating objects such as floating cotton, flying yarn and hair attached to the upper and lower surfaces of the cloth surface 2. The exhaust fan 4 is started, and the suction pipe 16 sucks away the floating objects such as floating cotton, flying yarn and hair on the annular brush 15. The floating objects such as floating cotton, flying yarn and hair are filtered by the filter screen 32 and accumulate inside the collection box 31. The clamping rod 36 is pulled out, and the collection box 31 can be taken out from the inside of the filter integration box 3. This device can automatically clean the floating objects on both sides of the knitted cloth surface of the knitting machine, reducing the workload of the staff, greatly improving the production efficiency, and effectively ensuring the quality of the cloth surface.
