Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circular knitting machine technology, specifically a support frame for a circular knitting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Circular knitting machines, also known as circular weft knitting machines or circular knitting loop knitting machines, are widely used in various textile enterprises due to their multiple loop-forming systems, high speed, high output, rapid pattern changes, good fabric quality, fewer processes, and strong product adaptability. The frame of a circular knitting machine is usually in rigid contact with the ground. When the needle plate shakes, the frame will inevitably vibrate, which can easily lead to fatigue damage to the structure of the circular knitting machine, affecting its service life, and generating more noise, which will affect the working environment of the workshop.

[0003] Although current large circular knitting machines have rubber pads at the bottom of the frame's legs, the placement of these pads on each leg is limited, resulting in a relatively small range of vibration amplitude and frequency that can be absorbed. This leads to poor shock absorption, relatively high noise levels, and the inability to provide stable support and cushioning for the middle of the frame. Consequently, the overall shock absorption and operational stability of the frame are affected. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a support for a circular knitting machine, which solves the problems mentioned in the background.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a support for a circular knitting machine, comprising: multiple fixed columns and a first connecting plate connecting the multiple fixed columns, and further comprising: a second connecting plate arranged parallel to the bottom of the first connecting plate, and multiple fixed columns fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second connecting plate respectively, and multiple shock-absorbing support units arranged between the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, and the multiple shock-absorbing support units being arranged correspondingly with respect to the multiple fixed columns;

[0006] The shock-absorbing support unit includes a connecting block, which is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first connecting plate. The connecting block is rotatably connected to a first movable shaft, and a movable plate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first movable shaft. The bottom of the movable plate is fixedly connected to a second movable shaft, and an adjusting block is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the second movable shaft. The adjusting block is slidably connected to the surface of the second connecting plate. A return spring is fixedly installed on one side of the adjusting block, and the other end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed column.

[0007] A column is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first connecting plate, and a bottom support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the column. The bottom support plate is located below the second connecting plate, and the column is installed through the interior of the second connecting plate.

[0008] Furthermore, three fixing columns are equidistantly arranged in a ring on the outer wall of the first connecting plate, and the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are arranged in parallel in a "human" shape.

[0009] Furthermore, the surface of the second connecting plate is provided with a groove that can accommodate the sliding of the adjusting block.

[0010] Furthermore, a telescopic spring is fitted on the outer wall of the column, and the telescopic spring is located between the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a first damping ring is fitted into the bottom end of the bottom support plate, and an outer ring is fitted into the outer wall of the bottom end of the first damping ring.

[0012] The outer ring has an "L"-shaped ring structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom end face of the bottom support plate is on the same horizontal plane as the bottom end face of the fixed column, and the bottom end of the bottom support plate is provided with an installation groove that can accommodate the installation of the first shock absorber ring.

[0014] Furthermore, a collar is fitted around the bottom outer wall of the fixed column, and a second shock absorber ring is fitted around the bottom of the fixed column. A connecting groove for accommodating the installation of the second shock absorber ring is also provided at the bottom of the fixed column.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, by setting a shock-absorbing support unit between the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, the surface of the first connecting plate is subjected to vibration, and the reset spring is buffered by the movable plate. This allows the adjusting plate to achieve shock absorption by squeezing the reset spring, thus avoiding the impact of the impact force on the first connecting plate and affecting the overall stability of the large circular machine. The vibration is effectively buffered between the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, achieving good shock absorption for the frame. Furthermore, the structure is simple and ensures the firmness and balance between multiple fixed columns.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, the fixed connection of the column at the bottom of the first connecting plate provides good support for the middle of the large circular knitting machine. Furthermore, by installing a telescopic spring on the outer wall of the column, the telescopic spring effectively buffers and dampens shocks between the first and second connecting plates, improving the buffering effect in the middle of the large circular knitting machine frame. Moreover, by setting shock-absorbing rings and collars at the bottom of the bottom support plate and the fixed column, the bottom of the bottom support plate and the fixed column have a double shock-absorbing effect, which helps to buffer the impact force of the bottom support plate and the fixed column on the ground during operation, reduces the working noise of the large circular knitting machine, improves the working stability of the large circular knitting machine, and helps to extend the service life of the large circular knitting machine.

[0025] 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.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-6A support frame for a circular knitting machine includes: multiple fixed columns 1, a first connecting plate 2, a second connecting plate 3, a connecting block 4, a first movable shaft 5, a movable plate 6, a second movable shaft 7, an adjusting block 8, a return spring 9, a column 10, a bottom support plate 11, a telescopic spring 12, a first shock absorber ring 13, an outer ring 14, a mounting groove 15, a collar 16, a second shock absorber ring 17, and a connecting groove 18. It also includes: a second connecting plate 3 arranged parallel to the bottom of the first connecting plate 2, and multiple fixed columns 1 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second connecting plate 3. Specifically, three fixed columns 1 are arranged equidistantly in a ring on the outer wall of the first connecting plate 2, and the first connecting plate 2 and the second connecting plate 3 are arranged parallel to each other in a "human" shape to facilitate synchronous support of the three fixed columns 1. Furthermore, three shock-absorbing support units are arranged between the first connecting plate 2 and the second connecting plate 3, and the three shock-absorbing support units are correspondingly arranged about the three fixed columns 1.

[0027] Furthermore, the shock-absorbing support unit includes a connecting block 4, which is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first connecting plate 2. A first movable shaft 5 is rotatably connected inside the connecting block 4, and a movable plate 6 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first movable shaft 5. A second movable shaft 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 6, and an adjusting block 8 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the second movable shaft 7. The adjusting block 8 is slidably connected to the surface of the second connecting plate 3. Considering the movement effect of the adjusting block 8 on the surface of the second connecting plate 3, a groove is provided on the surface of the second connecting plate 3 to accommodate the sliding of the adjusting block 8. A return spring 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the adjusting block 8, and the other end of the return spring 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed column 1. With this arrangement, the movable plate 6 can achieve buffering between the first connecting plate 2 and the second connecting plate 3 by pressing the return spring 9 with the adjusting block 8, ensuring the stability between the three fixed columns 1. The structure is simple and has high stability.

[0028] Considering the support effect on the middle of the large circular knitting machine, a column 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first connecting plate 2, and a bottom support plate 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the column 10. The bottom support plate 11 is set in a frustum shape to facilitate the support of the middle of the frame. The bottom support plate 11 is set below the second connecting plate 3, and the column 10 is set through the interior of the second connecting plate 3, which realizes the stable support of the first connecting plate 2. In order to realize the shock absorption and limiting of the column 10, a telescopic spring 12 is sleeved on the outer wall of the column 10, and the telescopic spring 12 is located between the first connecting plate 2 and the second connecting plate 3. Through this setting, the telescopic spring 12 buffers and absorbs shock at the bottom of the first connecting plate 2, ensuring the stability between the first connecting plate 2 and the second connecting plate 3, and further improving the overall shock absorption of the large circular knitting machine.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-6Considering the buffering and shock absorption of the large circular knitting machine when working on the ground, a first shock-absorbing ring 13 is also fitted into the bottom end of the base support plate 11. The first shock-absorbing ring 13 is located inside the bottom end of the base support plate 11, and the bottom end of the base support plate 11 has an installation groove 15 to accommodate the first shock-absorbing ring 13, facilitating buffering and shock absorption of the ground near the center of the base support plate 11. Simultaneously, an outer ring 14 is fitted into the outer wall of the bottom end of the first shock-absorbing ring 13, and the outer ring 14 has an "L"-shaped annular structure. This arrangement provides a dual shock absorption effect at the bottom end of the base support plate 11, which is beneficial for buffering and shock absorption. The impact force between the bottom support plate 11 and the ground reduces the operating noise of the large circular knitting machine and improves its working stability. At the same time, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the large circular knitting machine, the bottom end face of the bottom support plate 11 and the bottom end face of the fixed column 1 are on the same horizontal plane. A collar 16 is fitted and sleeved on the outer wall of the bottom end of the fixed column 1, and a second shock-absorbing ring 17 is fitted and connected to the bottom end of the fixed column 1. A connecting groove 18 is opened at the bottom end of the fixed column 1 to accommodate the installation of the second shock-absorbing ring 17. Through this arrangement, the bottom ends of the three fixed columns 1 simultaneously have a double shock-absorbing effect, realizing the stable shock absorption of the large circular knitting machine.
