AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing computerized flat knitting machines lack self-locking damping function in both working and non-working states, which can easily cause the sinker to move within the sinker mounting groove, affecting the stability of the knitted fabric.

Method used

Spring plates are installed on the settling plates to increase damping. The damping force generated by the spring plates when they run in the groove ensures the stability of the settling plates in both working and non-working states.

Benefits of technology

By increasing the damping force, abnormal movement of the settling plates was prevented, thereby improving the stability and quality of the woven fabric.
