[0033] This embodiment provides a knitting loop transfer needle, such as Figures 1-10 As shown, it includes a needle rod 14 and a mounting portion, and the mounting portion is connected to the top end of the needle rod 14.

[0034] The mounting portion includes a transverse connecting portion 15 and a vertical clamping portion 16. The transverse connecting portion 15 is connected to the top end of the needle rod 14 and extends laterally to one side thereof. The vertical clamping portion 16 is connected to the transverse connecting portion 15 and extends toward the rear end of the needle rod 14, forming a constricted groove 17 between the vertical clamping portion 16, the transverse connecting portion 15, and the needle rod 14. The transverse connecting portion 15 is perpendicular to the needle rod 14. The vertical clamping portion 16 and the transverse connecting portion 15 are arranged at an acute angle.

[0035] When the knitting stitch transfer needle in this embodiment is mounted on the needle seat, Figure 10 As shown, the mounting portion is inserted into the needle seat 7, the card slot 17 is locked on the needle seat 7, the needle seat 7 has a mounting slot 71, the vertical clamping portion 16 is locked in the mounting slot 71, and due to the constricted structure of the card slot 17, it can be firmly clamped in the needle seat, so that the transfer needle is firmly installed and not easy to loosen, ensuring the accuracy of the needle, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of missing needles, hanging threads, etc. in the knitted coils.

[0036] For the convenience of description, the upper side and the top in this embodiment refer to the side close to the transverse connecting portion 15 , and the tail and the lower side refer to the side close to the tip of the needle rod 14 .

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, the needle rod 14 and the mounting portion are an integrated structure, and the mounting portion is made of elastic metal material, so that the transfer needle has good strength and flexibility and a long service life.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment, the cross-section of the needle bar 14 is rectangular. The cross-section of the needle bar 14 can be in the shape of a square. The rectangular needle bar has greater resistance than the round needle bar.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment, a needle slot 18 is provided at the tip of the needle rod 14 . The needle slot 18 is opened toward the inside and has a U-shaped cross section.

[0040] As shown in FIG8 , the needle head groove 18 is used to dock with the hook portion of the needle body 2 to facilitate the transfer of the knitted loop 4 on the needle body 2 to the needle shaft 14 of the transfer needle.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the tail end of the needle rod 14 has a tip, and the tip has a first inclined surface 181 inclined toward the inner side, and the needle head groove 18 extends to the upper side of the first inclined surface 181. The tip can be easily connected to the hook portion of the needle body 2 and guide the knitted coil 4.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the outer side of the tip of the needle rod 14 is provided with a second inclined surface 19. The length of the second inclined surface 19 is less than the length of the first inclined surface 181.

[0043] like Figure 8g As shown, when the needle head groove 18 is docked with the hook part of the needle body 2, the needle tongue corresponds to the second inclined surface 19, and the needle tongue covers the transfer needle on a flat surface. The needle tongue is not easy to swing left and right, which protects the needle tongue from being damaged, so that the knitted coil on the needle bar can be smoothly transferred to the transfer needle.

[0044] As a preferred embodiment, the knitted loop transfer needle in this embodiment includes a first transfer needle 11 and a second transfer needle 12. Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the tip of the second transfer needle 12 can be inserted into the needle groove 18 of the first transfer needle 12. The needle groove 18 of the first transfer needle 11 is larger than the needle groove 18 on the second transfer needle 12. The tip of the second transfer needle 12 is adapted to the needle groove 18 of the first transfer needle 11.

[0045] Specifically, a third bevel 122 is respectively provided on the left and right sides of the tip of the second transfer needle 12. The setting of the third bevel 122 makes the left and right sides of the tip of the second transfer needle 12 narrow toward the middle, and the width of the tip of the second transfer needle 12 is reduced, so that the tip of the second transfer needle 12 can be more conveniently inserted into the needle head groove 18 of the first transfer needle 11.

[0046] When the half-circle needle seat is turned over, Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the tip of the second transfer needle 12 is connected to the needle groove 18 of the first transfer needle 11 and inserted into the first transfer needle 11 to facilitate the transfer of the knitted loop 4 from one transfer needle to another.

[0047] As a preferred embodiment, a sewing needle guide groove 121 is provided on the outer side of the second transfer needle 12.

[0053] like Figure 8c As shown, the hook portion of the needle body 2 is docked in the needle head groove of the knitting coil transfer needle 1, and the needle body 2 and the needle shaft 14 of the knitting coil transfer needle 1 are both arranged vertically;

[0054] like Figure 8d As shown, the three-purpose insert 5 is moved onto the needle bar 14 of the knitting stitch transfer needle 1;

[0055] like Figure 8eAs shown, the three-purpose insert 5 is moved from top to bottom close to the needle body 2 to the lower side of the needle tongue 3 of the needle body 2, and the knitted coil 4 is driven to move to the lower side of the needle tongue 3 of the needle body 2;

[0056] like Figure 8f As shown, move the three-purpose insert 5 to the lower side of the knitted loop 4;

[0057] like Figure 8g and Figure 8h As shown, the three-purpose insert 5 is moved close to the needle body 2 and the knitted loop 4 is pushed from the needle body 2 to the needle shaft 14 of the knitted loop transfer needle 1.

[0058] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 The sewing device has two semicircular needle seats, which can be spliced ​​into a circular shape. Multiple first transfer needles are installed on one semicircular needle seat, and a corresponding number of second transfer needles are installed on the other semicircular needle seat. After the knitted coils are transferred to the first transfer needle and the second transfer needle, the needle seat with the second transfer needle on one side is flipped 180 degrees to the lower side with the first transfer needle, and the first transfer needle is made to correspond to the second transfer needle. The tip of the first transfer needle 11 is connected to the needle head groove 18 of the second transfer needle 12, so that the knitted coil on the first transfer needle is moved to the second transfer needle. When the two knitted coils are on the second transfer needle 12, the sewing needle of the sewing machine can be used to pass through the knitted coil to start sewing the sock toe.

[0059] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with this technical field can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
