Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of knitting needle technology, and in particular to a knitting needle with high hardness. Background Technology

[0002] Existing knitting needles are specifically designed to weave yarn into loops and connect loops to form knitted fabrics. They are widely used in the knitting industry, including fabric production in clothing, home textiles, and other fields. Their structures are relatively complex and diverse. Common types include latch needles and crochet needles. Latch needles have a latch, which is closed by the old loops causing the latch to rotate during the looping process. Crochet needles have a hook, and some crochet needles also have a groove, which allows the tip of the hook to be inserted to close the needle opening.

[0003] However, when using ordinary knitting needles, the needle angle is fixed. When knitting complex shapes such as the top of a hat or the toe of a sock, the only way to compensate is to change the needle angle or use complex stitches. This results in low flexibility and adaptability. In addition, ordinary knitting needles do not have a cushioning structure. If they are accidentally dropped and the needles are on the ground, the needles will come into direct contact with the ground and are easily deformed or broken due to the impact, causing the knitting needles to be scrapped and increasing the cost of use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a knitting needle with high hardness. By rotating the turntable to drive the lead screw to rotate, the rubber block can be lowered, causing it to loosen the compression and fixation of the ball by the bracket and support plate. After loosening, the ball can be rotated at will, thereby allowing the needle angle to be adjusted at will. When knitting items with special shapes, such as the top of a hat or the toe of a sock, traditional fixed-angle knitting needles may not meet the requirements, requiring frequent tool changes or the use of complex stitches. However, knitting needles with adjustable needle angles can flexibly adjust the angle according to different shape requirements, making the knitting process smoother. Moreover, after being fixed, the rubber block provides the compression force. If the knitting needle is accidentally dropped and the needle tip lands on the ground, the rubber block can provide cushioning. Knitting needle tips are usually relatively fragile. When accidentally dropped and the needle tip lands on the ground, they are easily deformed or broken by impact. The cushioning effect provided by the rubber block can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force, reduce the impact force on the needle tip, and thus reduce the risk of needle tip damage.

[0005] This utility model also provides a knitting needle with high hardness as described above, comprising: a needle bar, a reinforcing sleeve fixedly connected to the outer wall of the needle bar, the reinforcing sleeve being made of tungsten carbide, a connector fixedly connected to the upper end of the needle bar, a lead screw rotatably connected to the inner surface of the connector, a turntable fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw, an opening provided on the connector, the side of the turntable located within the opening, a sleeve threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw, a rubber block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve, a limiting plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connector, a limiting groove provided on the rubber block, the limiting plate located inside the limiting groove, a bracket fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rubber block, a support plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connector, both the support plate and the bracket having round holes, a rotating ball movably connected between the bracket and the support plate, the rotating ball located between two round holes, a connecting seat fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating ball, a needle tip fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting seat, and a needle hook fixedly connected to the upper end of the needle tip.

[0006] According to the present invention, a high-hardness knitting needle is provided on the needle head, and through holes are provided on both sides of the rotating groove.

[0007] According to the present invention, a high-hardness knitting needle is provided, wherein a rotating disk is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the rotating groove, and a needle tongue is fixedly connected to the side surface of the rotating disk.

[0008] According to the present invention, a high-hardness knitting needle is provided, wherein a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the side surface of the rotating disk, and the rotating rod is rotatably connected inside the through hole.

[0009] According to the present invention, a high-hardness knitting needle is provided, wherein a rubber sheet is fixedly connected to the contact surface between the rotating ball and the circular hole.

[0010] According to the present invention, a high-hardness knitting needle is provided with a socket on both the turntable and the connecting head, and a pin is movably connected to the inner surface of the socket.

[0011] Compared to existing technologies, this high-rigidity knitting needle, through a rotating turntable driving the lead screw to rotate, can lower the rubber block, loosening the support and plate's compression of the sphere. Once loosened, the sphere can be rotated freely, allowing for arbitrary adjustment of the needle angle. When knitting items with special shapes, such as the top of a hat or the toe of a sock, traditional fixed-angle knitting needles may be insufficient, requiring frequent tool changes or complex stitches. Adjustable-angle knitting needles, however, can flexibly adjust the angle according to different shape requirements, making the knitting process smoother. Furthermore, after being fixed, the rubber block provides the compressive force. If the needle accidentally falls and lands headfirst, the rubber block provides cushioning. Knitting needles are typically fragile and easily deformed or broken upon impact. The cushioning provided by the rubber block effectively absorbs and disperses the impact force, reducing the impact on the needle and thus lowering the risk of needle damage.

[0019] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model embodiment provides a high-hardness knitting needle, which includes: a needle bar 23, and a reinforcing sleeve 10 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the needle bar 23. The reinforcing sleeve 10 is made of tungsten carbide.

[0021] Specifically, the outer wall of the needle bar 23 is fixedly connected with a reinforcing sleeve 10. The reinforcing sleeve 10 is made of tungsten carbide. Tungsten carbide has the characteristics of high hardness and good wear resistance. It can enhance the overall hardness and wear resistance of the needle bar 23, making the knitting needle more durable during use and able to withstand greater external forces without easily deforming or being damaged.

[0022] A connector 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the needle bar 23. A lead screw 21 is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the connector 9. A turntable 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 21. Both the turntable 14 and the connector 9 are provided with insertion holes 15. A pin 16 is movably connected to the inner surface of the insertion hole 15. An opening is provided on the connector 9, and the side of the turntable 14 is located inside the opening. A sleeve 22 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 21. A rubber block 20 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 22. The inner wall of the connector 9... A limiting plate 13 is fixedly connected, and a limiting groove 12 is provided on the rubber block 20. The limiting plate 13 is located inside the limiting groove 12. A bracket 19 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rubber block 20. A support plate 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connector 9. Both the support plate 11 and the bracket 19 are provided with round holes 18. A rotating ball 17 is movably connected between the bracket 19 and the support plate 11. The rotating ball 17 is located between the two round holes 18. A rubber sheet is fixedly connected to the contact surface between the rotating ball 17 and the round hole 18.

[0023] Specifically: When adjusting the angle of needle 7, first pull pin 16 out of socket 15 to release the fixation of turntable 14. Manually rotate turntable 14. Since lead screw 21 is fixedly connected to turntable 14, lead screw 21 will rotate with turntable 14. The outer wall of lead screw 21 is threadedly connected to sleeve 22. When lead screw 21 rotates, sleeve 22 will move linearly along lead screw 21. According to the principle of thread transmission, sleeve 22 will move downwards, thereby driving the rubber block 20 fixedly connected to it to descend. After the rubber block 20 descends, bracket 19 also descends, causing the squeezing and fixing effect of bracket 19 and support plate 11 on rotating ball 17 to loosen. After rotating ball 17 is loosened, since it is movably connected between bracket 19 and support plate 11 and located between two round holes 18, rotating ball 17 can be rotated freely. 17 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 8, which in turn is fixedly connected to the needle 7. Therefore, the rotation of the ball 17 will drive the needle 7 to rotate, thereby realizing the arbitrary adjustment of the needle 7 angle to adapt to the weaving needs of different shaped items. When the needle 7 is adjusted to the appropriate angle, the turntable 14 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the sleeve 22 to rise and the rubber block 20 to rise. During the rise of the rubber block 20, the bracket 19 also rises. The bracket 19 and the support plate 11 re-expose and fix the ball 17. Since the contact surface between the ball 17 and the round hole 18 is fixedly connected with a rubber sheet, the rubber sheet can increase the friction and ensure that the ball 17 is firmly fixed, thereby keeping the needle 7 at the adjusted angle. Finally, the pin 16 is inserted into the insertion hole 15 to fix the turntable 14 and prevent the screw 21 from rotating accidentally and causing the needle 7 angle to change.

[0024] A connecting seat 8 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating ball 17. A needle 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting seat 8. A needle hook 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the needle 7. A rotating groove 3 is provided on the needle 7. Through holes 6 are provided on both sides of the rotating groove 3. A rotating disk 2 is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the rotating groove 3. A needle tongue 1 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the rotating disk 2. A rotating rod 5 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the rotating disk 2. The rotating rod 5 is rotatably connected inside the through hole 6.

[0025] Working principle: When the angle of the needle 7 needs to be adjusted, first pull the pin 16 out of the socket 15, manually rotate the turntable 14, and the lead screw 21 will rotate with the turntable 14. The sleeve 22 will move downward, thereby causing the rubber block 20 fixedly connected to it to descend. After the rubber block 20 descends, the bracket 19 also descends, so that the squeezing and fixing effect of the bracket 19 and the support plate 11 on the rotating ball 17 is released. After the rotating ball 17 is released, it can be rotated at will. The rotation of the rotating ball 17 will drive the needle 7 to rotate, thereby realizing the arbitrary adjustment of the angle of the needle 7 to adapt to the weaving of items of different shapes. As required, once the needle 7 is adjusted to the appropriate angle, the turntable 14 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the sleeve 22 to rise and the rubber block 20 to rise. During the rise of the rubber block 20, the bracket 19 also rises. The bracket 19 and the support plate 11 re-expose and fix the rotating ball 17. Since the contact surface between the rotating ball 17 and the round hole 18 is fixedly connected with a rubber sheet, the rubber sheet can increase the friction and ensure that the rotating ball 17 is firmly fixed, thereby keeping the needle 7 at the adjusted angle. Finally, the pin 16 is inserted into the insertion hole 15 to fix the turntable 14 and prevent the screw 21 from rotating accidentally and causing the angle of the needle 7 to change.

[0026] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
