Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a weaving machine for forming knitted fabrics (such as sweaters and plackets), and belongs to the field of textile machinery technology. Background Technology
[0002] As a small-scale ribbon weaving machine, the ribbon loom has evolved from its initial manual, hand-cranked form to the current motor-driven, left-right oscillating weaving mechanism. Whether single-head, double-head, or multi-head, the transmission mechanism of the ribbon loom is located at the front or rear of the machine, resulting in a large overall size. This makes it inconvenient for operators to adjust fabrics and perform loom maintenance. Due to the structure of this transmission mechanism, its yarn guiding method can easily cause defects in special woven fabrics. For example, if the yarn guide is mounted on the loom head and feeds yarn through a back-and-forth oscillation, the disadvantage is that the angle of the yarn guide during feeding is unfavorable for products where different types and colors of yarn are interwoven (embedding), resulting in a messy and mottled fabric surface. Another example is when the yarn guide rail is installed on the rear side of the loom, and the slider on the rail has a long shuttle shaft and shuttle handle, connected to the yarn guide at a distance. This results in significant shaking during yarn feeding, leading to the same defects in the woven material. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ribbon weaving machine that is small in size, has good yarn guiding effect, fast weaving speed, and good fabric quality.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A ribbon weaving machine includes a symmetrically arranged front needle bed and a rear needle bed, as well as symmetrically arranged front and rear guide rails. The front guide rail is outside the front needle bed, and the rear guide rail is outside the rear needle bed. A machine head is mounted on the front and rear guide rails, and the machine head moves left and right along the front and rear guide rails. A left slide rail bracket and a right slide rail bracket are respectively arranged on both sides of the machine body at the front of the ribbon weaving machine. The left and right slide rail brackets extend from the front to the rear of the ribbon weaving machine, and the ends of the left and right slide rail brackets are connected to a transverse yarn guide slide rail. The yarn guide slide rail is located above the teeth of the front and rear needle beds and is parallel to the front and rear needle beds. A yarn guide is mounted on the yarn guide slide rail via a yarn guide slider.
[0006] Traditional ribbon looms have transmission components for the movement of the loom head connected at the front and rear sides, resulting in a large overall size that is inconvenient for daily use and operation.
[0007] The support brackets of the yarn guiding system slide rails are installed on the front guide rails, that is, on the left and right outer sides of the needle bed. The left and right slide rail brackets extend backward to free up space for the weaving machine head to move. The yarn guide slide rails are installed at the ends of the left and right slide rail brackets. The slide rails are equipped with sliders for the movement of the yarn guide. The operation is simple, the yarn feeding is convenient, the use is stable, and it is beneficial for weaving interlaced (embedded wool) products.
[0008] Specifically, the left and right slide rail brackets are arc-shaped. The head ends of the left and right slide rail brackets are respectively installed on both sides of the front guide rail.
[0009] In order to drive the yarn guide slider, a driving part is provided at the lower part (or the upper part or both sides) of the yarn guide slider, and a driving mechanism is provided on the rear triangular seat of the machine head. The driving mechanism drives the yarn guide slider to move through the driving part of the yarn guide slider.
[0010] The ribbon weaving machine is equipped with a protective cover, which is installed on the left slide rail bracket and the right slide rail bracket.
[0011] This utility model features a compact design, low material consumption, and is safe and convenient. The yarn guide slide rail is parallel to the teeth of the front and rear needle beds. The yarn guide slider with the yarn guide has a short feeding distance and accurate angle positioning when moving left and right to feed yarn. The yarn guide is not prone to vibration and can also improve knitting speed. It can knit special fabrics with different types and colors of interwoven (feathered) yarns with stable quality and clear coverage. The left and right slide rail brackets can also be used as brackets for the safety operation guard. Attached Figure Description
[0012] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0013] Figure 1 This is a left view of a ribbon weaving machine.
[0014] Figure 2 This is a front view of a ribbon weaving machine.
[0015] Figure 3 This is a rear view of the ribbon weaving machine. Detailed Implementation
[0016] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the ribbon weaving machine includes a front needle bed 8 and a rear needle bed 8' arranged symmetrically, as well as a front guide rail 4 and a rear guide rail 4' arranged symmetrically. The front guide rail 4 is outside the front needle bed 8, and the rear guide rail 4' is outside the rear needle bed 8'. A machine head 1 is provided on the front guide rail 4 and the rear guide rail 4'. The machine head 1 is located on the needle bed and moves along the front guide rail 4 and the rear guide rail 4'.
[0017] On the front side of the ribbon weaving machine, the head ends of the left slide rail bracket 2 and the right slide rail bracket 2' are respectively installed on both sides of the front guide rail 4. The left slide rail bracket 2 and the right slide rail bracket 2' are perpendicular to the front guide rail 4 and the rear guide rail 4' (not perpendicular is also acceptable). The left slide rail bracket 2 and the right slide rail bracket 2' are arc-shaped and extend from the front side to the rear side of the ribbon weaving machine.
[0018] The ends of the left slide rail bracket 2 and the right slide rail bracket 2' are connected to the transverse yarn guide slide rail 5. The yarn guide slide rail 5 is located above the teeth of the front needle bed 8 and the rear needle bed 8' and is parallel to the front needle bed 8 and the rear needle bed 8'. A yarn guide 7 is installed on the yarn guide slide rail 5 through the yarn guide slider 6.
[0019] The lower part (or the upper or rear part) of the yarn guide slider 5 is provided with a driving part (e.g., an adjustable cavity or groove). A driving mechanism 10 (such as the motor-driven color-changing structure described in patent document CN204491139U, and the most common electromagnet-driven color-changing structure) is provided on the rear triangular seat 9 of the machine head 1 on the front guide rail 4 and rear guide rail 4'. The driving mechanism 10 drives the yarn guide slider 6 to move through the driving part of the yarn guide slider 6. The structure of the driving part for moving the yarn guide slider 6 can be located on the upper or lower part of the slider, depending on the machine model.
[0020] Meanwhile, protective covers can be installed on the left slide rail bracket 2 and the right slide rail bracket 2'.
[0021] This utility model of a ribbon weaving machine simplifies the traditional head drive components, sprockets, chain rods, and head movement link components, installing them on the rear side of the loom to make room for the installation of the left and right slide rail brackets 2 and 2'. The left and right slide rail brackets 2 and 2' are installed on the front side of the knitting machine, specifically at the front guide rail 4. They support the yarn guide slide rail 5, which is higher than the movement space of the head 1, ensuring it can support the movement of the yarn guide slider 6. The upper structural component of the drive mechanism 10 is inserted into the driving part of the yarn guide slider 6 (such as an adjustable cavity or groove) at the front of the weaving machine. As the head reciprocates, it drives the yarn guide slider 6 to move parallel downwards to feed yarn for weaving.
[0022] The above embodiments do not limit the present invention in any way. All technical solutions obtained by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
