[0002] A circular knitting machine is a professional mechanical device used for producing various knitted fabrics, and it plays an extremely important role in the textile industry.

[0003] The development history of knitting machines is long, but the development of circular knitting machines, as a kind of efficient knitting production equipment, mainly concentrated in the 20th century. The early hand-operated knitting machines were low in efficiency, and with the advent of the industrial revolution and the progress of science and technology, electrically driven circular knitting machines gradually replaced hand-operated knitting machines. In the mid-to-late 20th century, with the development of computer technology, computer-controlled circular knitting machines with higher automation began to appear and quickly spread, greatly improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0004] A circular knitting machine mainly performs knitting work through a series of needles on needle cylinders (or needle discs). These needles are arranged in a specific way and can move up and down to form loops and then knit fabric. According to different knitting methods, circular knitting machines can be divided into two categories: single-face machines and double-face machines. Among them, single-face machines are mainly used for knitting single-structure fabrics such as plain fabrics; while double-face machines can knit various complex-structure fabrics such as rib fabrics and air-layer fabrics.

[0005] The core components of the machine include: needle cylinder, needle, cam system, yarn rack, yarn feeding mechanism, pulling and winding device, etc. The needle cylinder is the main component that carries the needles, and the needle is the key element that directly participates in the knitting process. The cam system is responsible for controlling the motion trajectory of the needle, ensuring that the needle can accurately complete each knitting action. The yarn rack and yarn feeding mechanism ensure that the yarn can smoothly enter the knitting area, while the pulling and winding device is responsible for smoothly pulling and winding the knitted fabric.

[0006] The protective structure of the circular knitting machine plays a crucial role in the safe operation of the equipment, prolonging the service life, and protecting the safety of the operators. These protective measures not only help prevent mechanical failures and accidents, but also reduce the impact of external environments on the internal components of the machine.

[0007] To prevent objects or people from entering the discharge port below the circular knitting machine during operation, existing circular knitting machines are equipped with protective structures on the base of the machine. These protective structures are generally fixed with bolts, making them inconvenient to disassemble and assemble. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0009] In order to achieve the above object, the utility model is through the following technical scheme to realize: a protection structure for a circular knitting machine, which comprises a circular knitting machine base and a protection belt wrapped outside the base.

[0010] The protection belt comprises two positioning strips arranged at intervals, and a protection mesh is arranged between the two positioning strips to effectively improve the positioning effect.

[0011] Further, in order to facilitate the clamping of the elastic clamping ball 16, the clamping groove is in an arcuate structure.

[0012] Further, in order to provide shock absorption and noise reduction, the shock absorption strip is made of sponge material.

[0013] Further, in order to facilitate deformation, the positioning strip and the elastic clamping ball are both made of rubber material.

[0029] EMBODIMENT

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The utility model provides a kind of protection structure technical scheme for circular knitting machine:

[0031] As shown in Figure 1 , its structure includes protection band 1, circular knitting machine base 2;

[0032] Circular knitting machine base 2 is installed in the bottom of circular knitting machine, and circular knitting machine is mainly woven by a series of needle cylinder (or needle disc) on needle.

[0033] These needles are arranged according to a specific mode, and can move up and down to form loops, and then weave into cloth.

[0034] According to different knitting methods, the circular knitting machine can be divided into two categories of single-sided machine and double-sided machine. Among them, the single-sided machine is mainly used for knitting single structure such as plain fabric; and the double-sided machine can knit a variety of complex structure fabrics such as rib fabric, air layer fabric and the like.

[0035] The bottom 2 of the circular knitting machine is provided with an operation notch for preventing a series of winding mechanisms such as a cloth winding machine;

[0036] The protective belt 1 is wrapped outside the bottom 2 of the circular knitting machine and covers the lower part of the operation notch, so as to prevent the staff or objects from accidentally entering the lower part of the circular knitting machine during the operation of the equipment, thereby affecting the normal work of the circular knitting machine;

[0037] The protective belt 1 comprises two positioning strips 11 arranged at an interval between upper and lower positions;

[0038] The two positioning strips 11 are provided with a protective mesh 12 therebetween for protection;

[0039] The end surface of the positioning strip 11 towards the bottom 2 of the circular knitting machine is provided with an assembly groove 13, the assembly groove 13 is provided with a shock-absorbing strip 14, the end surface of the shock-absorbing strip 14 towards the bottom 2 of the circular knitting machine is provided with a plurality of connecting blocks 15, and the end of the connecting block 15 is provided with an elastic clamping ball 16; the outer wall of the bottom 2 of the circular knitting machine is provided with a clamping groove 21 clamped with the elastic clamping ball 16, and the elastic clamping ball can be directly pulled out of the clamping groove by slightly exerting force during subsequent disassembly, so that the device has the advantages of convenient disassembly.

[0040] In order to facilitate the clamping of the elastic clamping ball 16, the clamping groove 21 is in an arc structure, and the elastic clamping ball 16 can be deformed and squeezed into the clamping groove 21 during clamping to complete the clamping and limiting work.

[0041] In order to perform shock absorption and noise reduction, the shock-absorbing strip 14 is made of sponge material, however, the utility model is not limited thereto, and the shock-absorbing strip 14 can also be made of other materials with shock absorption and noise reduction, such as rubber, PU and the like.
