Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circular knitting machines, in particular to a circular knitting machine with convenient needle replacement. Background Art

[0002] Circular knitting machine, scientifically known as circular weft knitting machine (or circular weft knitting machine); due to the large loop forming system (called yarn feeding path or loop forming path in enterprises, referred to as path) of the large circular knitting machine, high speed, high output, fast pattern change, good fabric quality, few processes and strong product adaptability, it has developed rapidly. At present, many textile enterprises have adopted large circular knitting machines for production operations; large circular knitting machines are currently widely used, but the current large circular knitting machines are more cumbersome when replacing the needle cylinder, which affects the efficiency of replacing the needle cylinder and affects the operating efficiency of the large circular knitting machine. When replacing the needle cylinder, complicated disassembly and installation are required. At present, disassembly is mostly carried out by hoisting, which requires the use of external devices during disassembly. At the same time, the problem of falling off is also prone to occur during the hoisting process. For this reason, we propose a large circular knitting machine that is convenient for needle replacement. Utility Model Content
