[0025] When the knitting density needs to be adjusted, the two synchronous motors 4 are started in this embodiment. The synchronous motors 4 are operated to drive the worm gears 5 connected thereto to rotate. Since the worm gears 5 are externally meshed with the worm wheels 9, the rotation of the worm gears 5 drives the worm wheels 9 to rotate. When the worm wheels 9 rotate, the half-threaded columns 7 fixedly connected thereto rotate.

The front sides of the triangular dense blocks 12 are in contact with the rear ends of the left and right sides of the bottom plate 1. By changing the positions of the triangular dense blocks 12, the spacing parameters of the needle beds during the knitting process can be adjusted, so as to realize accurate adjustment of the knitting density.
