Eight spindles are provided on the common track 3. The spindles are arranged as follows: along the circular woven track, two spindles are arranged every two second grooves 8. The specific arrangement is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the spindle with the spindle seat plate diameter on the left front of the second dial 7 is 1 / 4 larger than the spindle seat plate diameter of the other spindles. This spindle is defined as a special spindle, and the other spindles are defined as ordinary spindles.

[0053] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first transmission component includes: a secondary motor 14, which is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the lower plate 1, and the output end of the secondary motor 14 extends into the gear chamber; a secondary gear 15, which is disposed in the gear chamber, and is connected to the output end of the secondary motor 14 and meshes with the first dial gear 9.

[0054] During the operation of the device, the secondary motor 14 drives the secondary gear 15 to rotate, the rotation of the secondary gear 15 drives the first dial gear 9 to rotate, and the rotation of the first dial gear 9 drives the first dial 5 to rotate.

[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the second transmission component includes a main motor 11, which is mounted on the upper surface of the upper plate 2, and the output end of the main motor 11 extends through the upper plate 2 into the gear cavity; a first main gear 12 is disposed in the gear cavity and is fixedly connected to the output end of the main motor 11; and a second main gear 13 is rotatably connected in the gear cavity and meshes with the first main gear 12 and one of the second dial gears 10.

[0056] During the operation of the device, the main motor 11 drives the first main gear 12 to rotate, the first main gear 12 drives the second main gear 13 to rotate, and the second main gear 13 drives one of the second dial gears 10 to rotate. Since the adjacent second dial gears 10 mesh with each other, the second dial gears 10 will rotate together, and the rotation of the second dial gear 10 will drive the second dial 7 to rotate.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the reversing assembly includes two variable track blocks 16. A first dial 5 is located at the front end of the common track 3. A first variable track block 16 is located inside a groove 4 between the first dial 5 and the first second dial 7. A second variable track block 16 is located inside a groove 4 between the first dial 5 and the seventh second dial 7. Two intersecting first straight track grooves 17 are formed on the upper surfaces of the first and second variable track blocks 16. Two arc track grooves 18 are formed on the first and second variable track blocks 16, located on either side of the intersection of the two first straight track grooves 17. When the opening of the first straight track groove 17 connects to the opening of the common track 3, the opening of the first straight track groove 17 is tangent to the opening of the common track 3, while the arc track groove 18 is not connected to the common track 3. When the opening of the arc track groove 18 is tangent to the opening of the common track 3, the first straight track groove 17 is not connected to the common track 3.

[0058] A fixed track block 19 is placed inside the remaining sink 4. The lower surface of the fixed track block 19 is provided with two limiting rods, which pass through the upper plate 2. The limiting rods can limit the fixed track block 19 and prevent it from rotating. Two intersecting second straight track grooves 20 are opened on the fixed track block 19. The groove openings at both ends of the second straight track grooves 20 are tangent to the groove openings of the common track 3.

[0059] The variable track block 16 and the fixed track block 19 are cylindrical in shape to fit the sink 4. The upper ends of the variable track block 16 and the fixed track block 19 are flush with the upper surface of the upper plate 2.

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the control component includes a first limit switch 21, a second limit switch 21, a third limit switch 21, and a fourth limit switch 21.

The arc of the first arc-shaped hole 22 and the second arc-shaped hole 22 is 90 degrees. The bottom of the first variable track block 16 and the top of the second variable track block 16 are respectively fixedly connected with a first pin 23 and a second pin 23. The first pin 23 and the second pin 23 pass through the first arc-shaped hole 22 and the second arc-shaped hole 22, respectively. When the first pin 23 is located at one end of the first arc-shaped hole 22, the groove opening of the first straight track groove 17 on the first variable track block 16 is connected to and tangent to the groove opening of the common track 3. When the first pin 23 is located at the other end of the first arc-shaped hole 22, the groove opening of the arc-shaped track groove 18 on the first variable track block 16 is connected to and tangent to the groove opening of the common track 3.

When the second pin 23 is located at the other end of the second arc-shaped hole 22, the groove of the arc track groove 18 on the second variable track block 16 is connected to and tangent to the groove of the common track 3.

[0062] like Figure 6and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, two swing cylinders 24 are installed on the lower surface of the lower plate 1. The right side is the first swing cylinder 24, and the left side is the second swing cylinder 24. The upper ends of both the first and second swing cylinders 24 penetrate the lower plate 1 and extend into the gear chamber. The upper ends of the first and second swing cylinders 24 are respectively fixedly connected to a first drive shaft 25 and a second drive shaft 25. One end of a first connecting rod 26 and one end of a second connecting rod 26 are respectively fixedly connected to the first and second drive shafts 25. The other ends of the first and second connecting rods 26 are respectively connected to a first pin 23 and a second pin 23. The upper end of the first swing cylinder 24 and the output end of the second swing cylinder 24 are respectively connected to the first arc-shaped hole 22 and the second arc-shaped hole. At the center of arc 22, the first drive shaft 25 and the second drive shaft 25 are also located at the center of the arc of the first arc hole 22 and the arc of the second arc hole 22, respectively. The first swing cylinder 24 is provided with a first air inlet and a first air outlet. A first solenoid valve 27 is provided at the first air inlet. A first air supply pipe is connected between the first air inlet and one end of the first solenoid valve 27. The other end of the first solenoid valve 27 is connected to a first air supply pipe. The other end of the first air supply pipe is connected to a first air compressor. The second swing cylinder 24 is provided with a second air inlet and a second air outlet. A second solenoid valve 27 is provided at the second air inlet. A second air supply pipe is connected between the second air inlet and one end of the second solenoid valve 27. The other end of the second solenoid valve 27 is connected to a second air supply pipe. The other end of the second air supply pipe is connected to a second air compressor.

[0063] When weaving the circular thread, the first limit switch 21, the second limit switch 21, the third limit switch 21, and the fourth limit switch 21 are de-energized, preventing the variable track block 16 from rotating. At this time, the variable track block 16 is tangent to the groove opening of the first linear track groove 17 and the groove opening of the common track 3. The common track 3, the first linear track groove 17 on the variable track block 16, and the second linear track groove 20 on the fixed track block 19 form a closed circular track, on which the spindle reciprocates. In the initial state, the spindle is stuck in the second groove 8, with two spindles arranged every two second grooves 8, as shown in the specific arrangement. Figure 2As shown. During the subsequent weaving of the circular yarn, the control box issues a command, and the main motor 11 and secondary motor 14 begin to work, thereby driving the first dial 5 and the second dial 7 to move. Taking the spindle on the first second dial 7 as an example, when the spindle on the first second dial 7 contacts the second groove 8 on the second second dial 7, the spindle on the first second dial 7 is transferred to the second groove 8 on the second second dial 7. Subsequently, the spindle is sequentially transferred to the third second dial 7, the fourth second dial 7, the fifth second dial 7, the sixth second dial 7, the seventh second dial 7, and the first dial 5, until it is transferred back to the first second dial 7. The above actions are repeated. The direction of rotation of the first dial 5 and the seven second dials 7, as well as the trajectory of the spindle, are shown below. Figure 12 As shown. The specific working principle is existing technology and will not be elaborated on here.

[0064] When the fabric needs to be changed from round yarn to flat yarn, the control box issues a command, energizing the first, second, third, and fourth limit switches 21. A special spindle will collide with the first limit switch 21. The signal generated by the first limit switch 21 serves as the start signal for the variable track block 16 to change track, switching the track from round yarn weaving to flat yarn weaving. The diameter of the special spindle's spindle holder plate is 1 / 4 larger than that of the ordinary spindle's spindle holder plate, ensuring that only the spindle holder plate on the special spindle can trigger the various limit switches 21, while the ordinary spindle cannot. Since the positions of the special and ordinary spindles are constantly changing, the above-described positional relationship between the special and ordinary spindles only illustrates the working principle based on the positions of the special and ordinary spindles in the attached diagram.

[0065] When braiding flat yarn, the special spindle is the starting spindle, and all other ordinary spindles follow the special spindle along the same trajectory. The special spindle enters the first dial 5 from the second dial 7 along the first linear track groove 17 on the second variable track block 16. During this process, the spindle seat plate on the special spindle first collides with the first limit switch 21. The first limit switch 21 sends a signal to the control box. After processing, the control box sends an air supply command to the first solenoid valve 27. The compressed gas generated by the first air compressor passes through the first air supply pipe, the first solenoid valve 27, and the first air delivery pipe into the first swing cylinder 24. Then, the first swing cylinder 24 is activated, driving the first drive shaft 25 to rotate. The rotation of the first drive shaft 25 drives the first connecting rod 26 to rotate, and the rotation of the first connecting rod 26 drives... The first pin 23 slides inside the first arc-shaped hole 22, causing the first variable track block 16 to rotate. The first variable track block 16 changes from having its groove tangent to the groove of the common track 3 at the opening of the first straight track groove 17 to having its groove tangent to the groove of the common track 3 at the opening of the arc track groove 18. Then, the special spindle moves along the arc track groove 18 on the first variable track block 16 and is transmitted back to the first dial 5. During rotation, the special spindle will collide with the third limit switch 21. The third limit switch 21 sends a signal to the control box. After processing, the control box does not send an air supply command to the first solenoid valve 27, and the first swing cylinder 24 does not operate. The special spindle then passes through the second... The first linear track groove 17 on the variable track block moves to the seventh second dial 7, and then sequentially passes through the sixth second dial 7, the fifth second dial 7, the fourth second dial 7, the third second dial 7, and the second second dial 7. When the special spindle passes the second second dial 7, the special spindle collides with the second limit switch 21. The second limit switch 21 sends a signal to the control box. After processing, the control box sends an air supply command to the first solenoid valve 27, and the first swing cylinder 24 actuates, driving the first variable track block 16 to rotate. The first variable track block 16 changes from the groove opening of the arc track groove 18 being tangent to the groove opening of the common track 3 to the groove opening of the first linear track groove 17 being tangent to the groove opening of the common track 3. The openings are tangent; then the special spindle will move from the second dial 7 to the first dial 7, and then from the first dial 7 through the first linear track groove 17 on the first variable track block into the first dial 5. During the rotation of the special spindle on the first dial 5, the special spindle collides with the third limit switch 21. The third limit switch 21 sends a signal to the control box. After processing, the control box sends a gas supply command to the second solenoid valve 27. The second swing cylinder 24 is activated, driving the second variable track block 16 to rotate. The second variable track block 16 changes from the opening of the first linear track groove 17 being tangent to the opening of the common track 3 to the opening of the arc track groove 18 being tangent to the opening of the common track 3.The special spindle then moves along the arc track groove 18 on the second variable track block 16, completes one revolution around the first dial 5, and then enters the first second dial 7 along the first straight track groove 17 on the first variable track block 16. Subsequently, it passes through the second second dial 7, the third second dial 7, the fourth second dial 7, the fifth second dial 7, and the sixth second dial 7 in sequence. When the special spindle passes the sixth second dial 7, it collides with the fourth limit switch 21. The fourth limit switch 21 sends a signal to the control box. After processing, the control box sends an air supply command to the second solenoid valve 27, and the second swing cylinder 24 is activated, driving the second variable track block 16 to rotate. The second variable track block 16 changes from being tangent to the groove of the common track 3 by the groove of the arc track groove 18 to being tangent to the groove of the common track 3 by the groove of the first straight track groove 17. Then, the special spindle moves back to the initial position and continues to reciprocate along the above trajectory. The first variable track block and the second variable track block 16 switch back and forth according to the switching control principle described above, thus realizing flat wire weaving.

[0066] When the fabric needs to be changed from flat yarn to round yarn, the signal generated by the collision of the special spindle with the first limit switch 21 is used as the signal to de-energize the first limit switch 21, the second limit switch 21, the third limit switch 21 and the fourth limit switch 21. After the limit switch 21 is de-energized by the control box, the first variable track block 16 and the second variable track block 16 stop changing track. At this time, the track is the round yarn weaving track, so the switching from flat yarn weaving to round yarn weaving can be realized.

[0067] In this way, it is possible to switch between three weaving modes without stopping the machine: round yarn weaving, flat yarn weaving, and alternating round and flat yarn weaving.

[0068] The above working principle describes the process of the spindle being transferred on the first dial 5 and the second dial 7, as well as the process of the spindle weaving circular and flat fabrics. These are existing technologies and will not be elaborated on here.

[0069] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0070] 1. The entire weaving process can be completed with only one first dial 5 and seven second dials 7, without increasing the number of dials, which simplifies the equipment structure and reduces manufacturing and maintenance costs;

[0071] 2. Through the cooperation of the electrical control box and four limit switches 21, the three modes of round wire braiding, flat wire braiding and alternating round and flat wire braiding can be quickly switched without stopping the machine to change the braiding mode, thus improving work efficiency.
