Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of knitting flat knitting machine technology, specifically to a top-mounted roller structure for a computer-controlled knitting flat knitting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A computerized flat knitting machine is a double-needle plate needle weft knitting machine. Its cam mechanism acts like a set of planar cams; the needle feet enter the grooves of the cams, and by moving the cams, the needles are forced to move up and down rhythmically within the needle grooves of the needle plate. Through the action of the needle hook and the needle tongue, the yarn is knitted into fabric. The roller mechanism is an important component of the computerized flat knitting machine, used for taking and pulling the fabric.

[0003] Chinese Patent Application No. CN202321154389.6 discloses a roller device for a computerized flat knitting machine, relating to the field of computerized flat knitting machines. The device includes a base with support frames symmetrically fixed to both sides of the top of the base. Fixed rollers are installed on the bottom of opposite sides of the two support frames. This device can adjust the spacing between the rollers. However, in practical use, when the knitting material is transported through the rollers, its transport position needs to be at the center of the roller structure for convenient subsequent knitting. This device, however, adjusts the roller spacing by moving one set of rollers while keeping the other fixed, causing the center position to change, thus affecting the transport position and hindering subsequent processing.

[0004] Based on this, this utility model designs an upper roller structure for a computer-controlled flat knitting machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] In this embodiment of the utility model, the servo motor 5 is started to drive the screw 4 to rotate. Under the threaded engagement of the screw 4 and the slide plate 3, the two sets of slide plates 3 are driven to move on the slide rail 2, so that the two sets of rollers 9 move synchronously close to each other or far apart. During the process, the distance is controlled by the cooperation of the red light rangefinder 10 and the range measuring plate 11. When the spacing of the rollers 9 is adjusted according to actual needs, the center position of the two sets of rollers 9 remains unchanged, which facilitates the conveying of the woven material.

[0028] In this embodiment of the invention, a slide rail 2, a slide plate 3, a screw 4, and a servo motor 5 are provided. The servo motor 5 drives the screw 4 to rotate. Under the threaded engagement of the screw 4 and the slide plate 3, the two sets of slide plates 3 move on the slide rail 2, thereby enabling the two sets of rollers 9 to move synchronously close to or far apart. When the spacing of the rollers 9 is adjusted according to actual needs, the center position of the two sets of rollers 9 remains unchanged, which facilitates the conveying of the woven material. By providing a red light rangefinder 10 and a distance measuring plate 11, the distance is controlled when the rollers 9 move.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, a mounting plate 12 is fixed to the side of the slide rail 2. The mounting plate 12 is threadedly fixed to the side of the upright plate 1 to facilitate the installation of the slide rail 2. The connecting plate 6 is a T-shaped plate. The connecting plate 6 is threadedly fixed to the side of the slide plate 3. The red light rangefinder 10 and the measuring plate 11 are installed on the connecting plate 6. The center line of the upper roller 9 and the center line of the upper slide plate 3 are on the same horizontal plane. The center line of the lower roller 9 and the center line of the lower slide plate 3 are on the same horizontal plane. The bottom end of the red light rangefinder 10 and the center line of the upper slide plate 3 are on the same horizontal plane. The top end of the measuring plate 11 and the center line of the lower slide plate 3 are on the same horizontal plane. The distance from the red light rangefinder 10 to the measuring plate 11 is the distance between the centers of the two sets of rollers 9. The difference between this distance and the height of the end face of the roller 9 is the spacing between the two sets of rollers 9.

[0030] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a through groove 13 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 6. The output shaft of the rotating motor 7 passes through the through groove 13. Sliding parts are symmetrically provided on both sides of the through groove 13. The sliding parts include a sliding groove 14, a slider 15, a mounting frame 16, a through hole 17, a positioning hole 18, and a positioning rod 19. The sliding groove 14 is symmetrically provided on both sides of the through groove 13 and passes through the side of the connecting plate 6. The slider 15 slides in the sliding groove 14. The end face of the slider 15 is flush with the opening face of the sliding groove 14. The mounting frame 16 is fixed to the side of the slider 15. The rotating motor 7 is installed in the mounting frame 16. The through hole 17 is provided on the side of the mounting frame 16 and the slider 15.

[0031] In this embodiment of the utility model, when in use, with the cooperation of the connecting plate 20, the roller 9 is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 8. According to specific needs, the servo motor 5 is started first to drive the screw 4 to rotate. With the threaded cooperation between the screw 4 and the slide plate 3, the two sets of slide plates 3 are driven to move on the slide rail 2, so that the two sets of rollers 9 move synchronously close or far apart. During the process, the distance is controlled with the cooperation of the red light rangefinder 10 and the measuring plate 11. When the spacing of the rollers 9 is adjusted according to actual needs, the center position of the two sets of rollers 9 remains unchanged, which facilitates the conveying of the woven material. After the spacing is adjusted, the positioning hole 18 is selected at a suitable position, the slider 15 is moved to the position in the slide groove 16, and the positioning rod 19 is inserted into the positioning hole 18 and the through hole 17 to fix the mounting frame 16, thereby realizing the adjustment of the horizontal position of the roller 9, which further facilitates the conveying of the woven material.
