Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a computerized flat knitting machine needle plate assembly that maintains stable needle output. Background Technology
[0002] Computerized flat knitting machines require a reasonable needle plate structure configuration and a reasonable toothed sinker structure during knitting. However, the design of the needle plate with a slightly larger groove size at the needle opening than at the rear end makes it difficult to control the groove size accuracy. The traditional straight groove structure of the needle plate insert can easily cause the needle to wobble and become unstable when the needle is working, due to the large gap between the needle groove and the needle at the front needle exit of the needle plate. This leads to a decrease in the reliability of the needle rejoining. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and design a computer flat knitting machine needle plate assembly that maintains stable needle output.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a computer flat knitting machine needle plate assembly for maintaining stable needle output, comprising a needle plate, wherein a plurality of insert slots are equally spaced on the needle plate, inserts are installed in the insert slots to form needle grooves, and each needle assembly is placed in the needle groove. A sinker pad, a toothed plate, and an insert are sequentially arranged at the upper opening of the insert slot. The sinker is installed on the sinker pad, and one side of the sinker pad has a first protrusion that fits the needle, and the other side of the sinker pad fits one side of the toothed plate; one side of the insert fits the other side of the toothed plate, and the other side of the insert has a second protrusion that fits the needle.
[0005] Furthermore, there is a gap between the lower end face of the first and second protrusions and the upper surface of the needle plate.
[0006] Furthermore, there is a gap between the lower end face of the first and second protrusions and the upper surface of the needle plate.
[0007] Furthermore, any one of the first protrusion and the second protrusion is individually disposed within the needle groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the first protrusion and the second protrusion are symmetrically arranged within the needle groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the upper end of the insert is provided with a needle ruler groove for installing a needle ruler. The needle ruler is installed in the needle ruler groove. A spacer plate groove is also provided on one side of the needle ruler groove at a height lower than the needle ruler. The spacer plate is installed in the spacer plate groove, and the other side of the spacer plate is held in place by the needle ruler.
[0010] Furthermore, several corresponding insert grooves begin on one side of the partition plate, and the wall thickness between adjacent grooves is the same as that of a pin groove.
[0011] Furthermore, the front section of the tank wall is rounded.
[0012] Furthermore, the needle groove is a dovetail groove.
[0013] Furthermore, the cross-section of the needle ruler is trapezoidal.
[0014] Furthermore, the first and second protrusions have the same thickness on both sides.
[0015] Furthermore, the first protrusion and the second protrusion protrude from the front end of the needle groove.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: simple structure, stable needle movement during needle exit; the design of the first and second protrusions prevents the needle from wobbling left and right, further improving accuracy and maintaining needle stability; reduced friction between the needle and the needle groove wall, narrowing the front width of the needle groove, and reducing the gap between the needle and one side of the sinker pad and the other side of the insert; the design of the spacer plate prevents the insert from wobbling left and right, improving accuracy, stability, and firmness.
