[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a weft knitting circular knitting machine with a protective structure, including a base 1, an organic body 2 disposed on the inner side of the base 1, a dust suction cover 3 installed on the top of the base 1, three protective frames 4 distributed in a ring on the outer side of the base 1, and operation buttons 5 disposed on the surface of the base 1.
[0025] The surface of the operation button 5 is provided with a protective plate 6, and the two ends of the protective plate 6 are connected to connecting blocks 7. One end of the connecting block 7 is connected to a slider 8. The outer wall of the base 1 is connected to a slide rail 9. The top of the base 1 is connected to a connecting frame 10. One end of the connecting frame 10 is provided with a first magnetic block 11, and the top of the protective plate 6 is provided with a second magnetic block 12.
[0026] Preferably, the protective plate 6 can form a sliding connection structure with the base 1 through the connecting block 7, the slider 8, and the slide rail 9, the second magnetic block 12 is located directly below the first magnetic block 11, and the protective plate 6 is in contact with the outer wall of the base 1.
[0027] In practical use, through the sliding connection structure between the protective plate 6 and the base 1, after the operation button 5 is used, the protective plate 6 is slid upward. At this time, the sliders 8 at both ends of the protective plate 6 will slide upward along the slide rail 9. When the protective plate 6 completely covers the operation button 5, the second magnetic block 12 at its top will attract and fix the first magnetic block 11, so that the protective plate 6 can protect the operation button 5 and prevent accidental touch.
[0028] Conversely, it can be opened by pulling down the protective panel 6.
[0029] Preferably, each of the three protective frames 4 has two fixed blocks 13 connected to its two ends. The outer walls of the two fixed blocks 13 are provided with slots 14.
