DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] Please refer to Figs. 1 to 4 The aluminum cover mounting device for the computer flat knitting machine bridge in the embodiment comprises a base 1, a sliding block 2 slidingly installed on the base 1, and a bridge 5 installed on the sliding block 2 and an aluminum cover 6 buckled on the bridge 5.

[0024] The base 1 is selected to be a long strip structure with a trapezoidal longitudinal section, and the inclination of the two sides of the base 1 is 100°. The surface of the base 1 is provided with a guide strip 3. The sliding block 2 and the guide strip 3 are slidingly connected, so that the sliding block 2 can be stably adjusted relative to the base 1.

[0025] Preferably, a driving mechanism is installed on one side of the bridge 5 for controlling the movement of the sliding block 2 on the base 1.

[0026] In the embodiment, an L-shaped along strip 21 is integrally connected to the lower end surface of the sliding block 2. An adjusting block 4 is slidingly installed on the surface of the sliding block 2. The number of the adjusting blocks 4 is two. Both of the adjusting blocks 4 are sliding relative to the sliding block 2 and are used to provide a foot connecting space of the bridge 5.

[0027] It should be noted that the side surface of the adjusting block 4 facing the along strip 21 is fixedly installed with a limiting strip 7 with a trapezoidal cross section. The limiting strip 7 is embedded in the along strip 21 and is slidingly connected to the along strip 21.

[0028] In this way, the sliding of the adjusting block 4 relative to the sliding block 2 is guided, and the sliding stability of the adjusting block 4 is improved.

[0029] In order to increase the sliding stability of the adjusting block 4, a guide strip 10 is further fixedly installed on the surface of the sliding block 2 in the embodiment. A guide groove 11 corresponding to the guide strip 10 is formed on the side surface of the sliding block 2. The guide strip 10 is slidingly connected to the guide groove 11.

[0030] Further, the guide strip 10 is broken in the middle of the slider 2 into two sections, and the end of the guide strip 10 at both ends is T-shaped for limiting the sliding adjustment limit position of the slider 2 relative to the adjusting block 4.

[0031] Through such design, the sliding accuracy of the adjusting block 4 is improved, and it is ensured that the sliding adjustment position of the adjusting block 4 meets the installation reference.

[0032] In the embodiment, the top of the slider 2 is further provided with a centering mechanism between the two adjusting blocks 4, the centering mechanism comprising a connecting shaft 12 fixedly installed in the middle of the slider 2, an adjusting plate 14 rotatably installed outside the connecting shaft 12, and a connecting rod connected to the adjusting plate 14 and the adjusting block 4.

[0033] Preferably, the surface of the adjusting block 4 is fixedly provided with a connecting plate 8, and a plurality of connecting holes 9 of various sizes are arranged in series on the left and right of the connecting plate 8, so as to adapt to the installation of the catwalk 5 of a conventional size.

[0034] It should be noted that a groove 15 is formed on the opposite side surface of the adjusting block 4, and the connecting rod comprises a connecting head 16 rotatably installed on both ends of the groove 15 and the adjusting plate 14, and a threaded sleeve 17 threadedly connected between the two connecting heads 16.

[0035] The two connecting heads 16 are connected by the threaded sleeve 17, so that the length of the connecting rod is adjustable.

[0036] In order to lock the rotation of the adjusting plate 14, in the embodiment, the top of the connecting shaft 12 is further integrally connected with a disc 121, the bottom of the adjusting plate 14 is attached to the disc 121, a threaded shaft 122 is integrally extended on the top end of the disc 121, the adjusting plate 14 is rotatably connected relative to the threaded shaft 122, and an end cap 13 is threadedly installed on the outside of the threaded shaft 122 for locking the adjusting plate 14.

[0037] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows:

[0038] After the slider 2 is slid to the appropriate position on the base 1, the end cap 13 is rotated and loosened, at this time the adjusting plate 14 can be rotated relative to the slider 2, the adjusting plate 14 drives the two connecting heads 16 at both ends to rotate and adjust the position relative to the two adjusting blocks 4, at this time the two adjusting blocks 4 are supported and pushed to adjust the position relative to the connecting shaft 12 in the middle of the adjusting plate 14, after the positions of the two connecting plates 8 on the adjusting block 4 are determined, the four supporting legs of the catwalk 5 and the four adjusting blocks 4 are connected and fixed by using bolts, then the position of the adjusting plate 14 is locked by rotating the end cap 13, thereby completing the movable installation of the catwalk 5 relative to the base 1, and the adjustment can be adaptively adjusted, finally the aluminum cover 6 is installed on the catwalk 5.
