Among them, the needle selection device is provided with a two-way layered needle selection structure as shown in Figure 1 The two-way layered needle selection structure includes a mounting seat 1, a cylinder 2, an L-shaped slider 3', and a needle selection triangular base plate 4. The needle selection triangular base plate 4 is provided with threaded through holes and is fixedly connected to the slider 3' through bolts. The cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 1 and is connected to the slider 3'. The slider 3' moves up and down in the mounting seat 1 to drive the up and down position change of the needle selection triangular base plate 4. Although the double cylinders 2 can control the distance between the up and down positions of the needle selection triangular base plate 4, due to the fitting clearance of the threaded through holes and the structure of the cylinder 2 without adjustable stroke, it causes the needle selection triangular base plate 4 to not reach the required position accurately. Therefore, a structure that can accurately move the needle selection triangular base plate 4 needs to be designed. Summary of the Utility Model:

[0021] Example: As shown in Figures 2 to 6 A two-way layered needle selection structure device for a small circular knitting machine includes a "C"-shaped mounting seat 1. Two groups of cylinders 2 distributed vertically up and down are inserted into the mounting seat 1. A T-shaped connecting block 3 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 2. A vertical guide groove 11 is formed in the middle of the mounting seat 1. The connecting block 3 is inserted into the guide groove 11 of the mounting seat 1, and the cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the mounting seat 1. A vertical needle selection triangular bottom plate 4 is provided on one side of the mounting seat 1. Two groups of positioning card slots 41 distributed vertically up and down are formed on the needle selection triangular bottom plate 4. A positioning block 6 is inserted into the positioning card slot 41. A fastening screw 8 is inserted into the middle of the positioning block 6, and the fastening screw 8 is screwed and fixed on the connecting block 3. The structure of the needle selection triangular bottom plate 4 itself is relatively auxiliary, and it is more troublesome to open pin holes and positioning holes. Therefore, a structure of the positioning card slot 41 cooperating with the positioning block 6 is designed. The positioning card slot 41 is convenient to process. When installing different needle selection triangular bottom plates 4, the positioning block 6 can be used in combination. The positioning blocks 6 are respectively pressed against the connecting block 3 and the needle selection triangular bottom plate 4. Positioning pins 7 are inserted into the positioning blocks 6 on the upper and lower sides of the fastening screw 8, and the positioning pins 7 are inserted and fixed on the connecting block 3;

[0022] On one side of the upper cylinder body of the cylinder 2, a vertical step hole 21 is formed. A limit adjusting column 5 is inserted into the lower part of the step hole 21. A stud 51 is formed at the lower end of the limit adjusting column 5, and the stud 51 is screwed on the connecting block 3.

[0023] The step hole 21 on the cylinder 2 is composed of an upper small hole and a lower large hole. The length of the small hole is less than the length of the large hole;

[0024] The limit adjusting column 5 is a cylinder. The diameter of the limit adjusting column 5 is equal to the aperture of the large hole on the step hole 21. A "-" shaped limit card slot 22 is formed on the upper end surface of the limit adjusting column 5. A screwdriver can pass through the small hole to drive the limit adjusting column 5 to rotate to limit the height of the upper end of the limit adjusting column 5, so as to accurately adjust the stroke of the cylinder 2.

[0025] The length of the limiting adjustment column 5 is less than the length of the piston rod on the cylinder 2. An inverted bottom bolt is inserted into the connecting block 3. The upper end of the bottom bolt extends out of the connecting block 3 and is screwed into the piston rod of the cylinder 2. The piston rod of the cylinder 2 abuts against the connecting block 3. The connecting block 3 has a connecting hole 34 opposite to the bottom bolt, and a threaded through hole 33 opposite to the stud 51 is opened in the connecting block 3.

[0026] Several threaded holes are formed on the inner sidewalls of the mounting seats 1 on both sides of the guide groove 11. Ear seats are formed on both sides of the cylinder body of the cylinder 2. Fastening bolts are inserted into the ear seats and screwed into the threaded holes of the mounting seats 1.

[0027] The connecting block 3 has a bottom threaded hole 32 formed on its side wall, which is opposite to the fastening screw 8. The connecting block 3 on the upper and lower sides of the bottom threaded hole 32 has a first pin hole 31 formed. The positioning block 6 has a stepped positioning hole 61 formed in the middle. The fastening screw 8 is inserted into the positioning hole 61 of the positioning block 6. The positioning block 6 on the upper and lower sides of the positioning hole 61 has a second pin hole 62 formed. The positioning pin 7 is inserted into the first pin hole 31 and the second pin hole 62 respectively. The positioning pin 7 is used to improve the installation accuracy between the connecting block 3 and the selection pin triangular base plate 4.

[0028] The guide groove 11 on the mounting base 1 passes through the lower end face of the mounting base 1. The width of the guide groove 11 is equal to the width of the connecting block 3. Thus, the guide groove 11 can restrict the left and right movement of the connecting block 3. In addition, the cylinder 2, together with the limit adjustment column 5, can not only adjust the stroke, but also ensure that the connecting block 3 only moves up and down.

[0029] Working principle: This structure is a two-way layered needle selection structure device for a small circular knitting machine. Its technical points are reflected in two aspects. One is the connection structure between the connecting block 3 and the needle selection triangle base plate 4. During the connection process, a positioning pin 7 is added. The positioning pin 7 can eliminate the original problem of gap fit between the bolt through hole and the bolt, and can achieve precise control of the position of the needle selection triangle base plate 4 on the connecting block 3.

[0030] Another point is that a stepped hole 21 is opened on the cylinder body of cylinder 2, and the stroke of cylinder 2 is precisely adjusted by the height-adjustable limit adjustment column 5. In summary, this bidirectional layered needle selection structure is compact and highly accurate.

[0031] The embodiments described above are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify the embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be as set forth in the claims.
