[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garment production technology, and in particular to a self-correcting computer flat knitting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Correctable computerized flat knitting machines are high-precision, high-efficiency knitting equipment that combines electronic, computer, and mechanical technologies to automate and intelligently knitting processes. They can knit flat or three-dimensional garment pieces and other products with specific shapes. With continuous technological advancements and increasing consumer demands for higher quality knitwear, correctable computerized flat knitting machines have a promising future. In the future, these machines will focus more on intelligent, automated, and personalized customization to meet diverse market demands. Furthermore, the application of new materials and technologies will further enhance the variety and quality of knitwear.

[0003] While traditional computerized flat knitting machines offer high knitting precision and a high degree of intelligence and automation, some lint and debris inevitably fall during machine knitting production due to the interlacing of yarn. The confined space inside the machine makes manual cleaning difficult, leading to lint remaining inside and being unable to be removed promptly. This residual lint easily mixes into the finished knitted product, affecting its precision and cleanliness. Furthermore, excessive lint accumulation inside the machine can clog machine parts, impacting its performance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing technology has the disadvantage that lint is not easy to clean and can easily clog the inside of the machine, affecting the operation of the machine. To this end, we propose a correctable computer flat knitting machine.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a self-correcting computer flat knitting machine, comprising a base, a knitting machine body fixedly connected to the top of the base, three cabinet doors installed on one side of the knitting machine body, two knitting machines installed inside the knitting machine body, two circular frames installed on one side of the knitting machine body, a turbine fan fixedly connected inside the circular frames, a vacuum cleaner fixedly connected to the top of the base, a vacuum suction duct installed on one side of the vacuum cleaner, one end of the vacuum suction duct fixedly connected to one side of the knitting machine body, and the other end of the vacuum suction duct communicating with the interior of the knitting machine body.

[0006] Preferably, an extension frame is fixedly connected to one side of the knitting machine, and a brush is fixedly connected to one end of the extension frame, with the bottom of the brush abutting against the surface of the inner wall of the knitting machine body.

[0007] Preferably, four fan-shaped filters are fixedly connected inside the circular frame, and the fan-shaped filters are placed on the air intake surface of the turbine fan.

[0008] Preferably, the base is fixedly connected to support legs on all four sides, and the bottom of the two support legs on the left side is provided with circular arc grooves, and rollers are embedded in the inner wall of the circular arc grooves.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the base is threaded with two lead screws, and the bottom of the lead screws is fixedly connected to a support plate, which is made of hard rubber.

[0010] Preferably, the turbine fans are located at both ends of the rear side of the knitting machine body, and the dust suction duct is located between the two turbine fans.

[0011] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] In this invention, the operator starts two turbine fans to generate high-intensity airflow into the knitting machine body. This airflow blows up the debris and lint generated during knitting inside the machine, causing the lint to disperse within the machine body. Simultaneously, a vacuum cleaner is activated to generate high-intensity suction, drawing the dispersed lint through a suction duct into the vacuum cleaner. This effectively cleans the dust and debris from inside the knitting machine. By controlling the positions of the three cabinet doors to create an outlet, the turbine fans generate forward high-intensity airflow, expelling dust from inside the knitting machine through this outlet. This facilitates the operator's cleaning of dust and lint from inside the knitting machine, preventing lint from adhering to machine parts and affecting their normal operation. It also prevents excessive lint from remaining inside the machine and mixing into the finished knitted product, affecting its quality and cleanliness. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0019] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a self-correcting computerized flat knitting machine, including a base 1, a knitting machine body 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, three cabinet doors 3 installed on one side of the knitting machine body 2, two knitting machines 4 installed inside the knitting machine body 2, two circular frames 5 installed on one side of the knitting machine body 2, turbine fans 6 fixedly connected inside the circular frames 5, a vacuum cleaner 7 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a vacuum suction duct 8 installed on one side of the vacuum cleaner 7, one end of the vacuum suction duct 8 fixedly connected to one side of the knitting machine body 2, and the other end of the vacuum suction duct 8 communicating with the inside of the knitting machine body 2. When the operator starts the two turbine fans 6, a high-intensity airflow is generated into the knitting machine body 2, causing the airflow to blow away the knitting debris generated by the knitting inside the knitting machine body 2. Dust and lint cause lint to scatter inside the knitting machine body 2. At this time, the vacuum cleaner 7 is activated to generate high-intensity suction, which draws the lint scattered inside the knitting machine body 2 through the suction pipe 8 and into the vacuum cleaner 7, thus cleaning the dust and debris inside the knitting machine body 2. At the same time, by controlling the position of the three cabinet doors 3 to form an outlet, the turbine fan 6 is activated to generate high-intensity forward airflow, which can expel the dust inside the knitting machine body 2 forward through the outlet formed by the cabinet doors 3, so that the staff can clean the dust and lint inside the knitting machine body 2. This prevents lint from adhering to the machine parts and affecting the normal operation of the components, and also prevents too much lint remaining inside the machine from mixing into the knitted finished product, affecting the quality and cleanliness of the finished product.

[0020] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in this embodiment: an extension frame 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the knitting machine 4, and a brush 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the extension frame 9. The bottom of the brush 10 abuts against the surface of the inner wall of the knitting machine body 2. It is fixed to one side of the knitting machine 4 by the extension frame 9. When the knitting machine 4 moves left and right to knit, the knitting machine 4 drives the extension frame 9 to make the brush 10 stick tightly to the bottom of the inner wall of the knitting machine body 2, and cleans the dust and lint attached to the surface of the knitting machine body 2, preventing the dust from sticking to the surface of the knitting machine body 2 and being effectively blown away by the wind.

[0021] Reference Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: four fan-shaped filters 11 are fixedly connected inside the circular frame 5. The fan-shaped filters 11 are placed on the air intake surface of the turbine fan 6. By placing the fan-shaped filters 11 on the air intake surface of the turbine fan 6, when the turbine fan 6 generates wind, the air inlet is protected by the fan-shaped filters 11, which filters the dust and lint in the intake air and prevents the turbine fan 6 from sucking in external lint into the knitting machine body 2.

[0022] Reference Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: support legs 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1 around the perimeter. The bottom of the two support legs 12 on the left side is provided with circular arc grooves 13. Rollers 14 are embedded in the inner wall of the circular arc grooves 13. The rollers 14 slide in the circular arc grooves 13, so that when the base 1 is placed on the ground, the two rollers 14 can contact the ground and roll inside the circular arc grooves 13. This allows the staff to lift one side of the base 1 so that the rollers 14 on the other side can roll on the ground, which makes it easier for the staff to move and relocate the device.

[0023] Reference Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: one end of the base 1 is threaded with two lead screws 15, and the bottom of the lead screws 15 is fixedly connected to a support plate 16. The support plate 16 is made of hard rubber. When the operator screws the lead screws 15 downwards, the lead screws 15 move and drive the support plate 16 downwards, so that the bottom of the support plate 16 contacts the ground. Then, by slightly lifting one side of the base 1, the rollers 14 are moved away from the ground and no longer roll in contact with the ground. This allows the support leg 12 on one side of the base 1 to contact the ground, and the other side to contact the ground through the support plate 16. This stabilizes the base 1 on the ground, and the hard rubber material of the support plate 16 increases the friction between the support plate 16 and the ground, preventing the support plate 16 from slipping on the ground.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown in this embodiment: the turbine fans 6 are placed at both ends of the rear side of the knitting machine body 2, and the dust suction duct 8 is placed in the middle of the two turbine fans 6. The turbine fans 6 and the dust suction duct 8 form a circulating air duct, so that the airflow circulates inside the knitting machine body 2. The natural wind generated by the turbine fans 6 cools down the machine components inside the knitting machine body 2. Then, the suction force of the dust suction duct 8 draws out the heat from inside the knitting machine body 2, improving the heat dissipation effect inside the knitting machine body 2 and preventing the heat generated by the machine operation from coming into contact with the inside of the knitting machine body 2, causing the machine to overheat and overload, which would affect the service life of the machine.

[0025] Working principle: The operator activates two turbine fans 6, generating high-intensity airflow into the knitting machine body 2. This airflow blows up the knitting debris and lint generated inside the machine body 2, scattering the lint inside. Simultaneously, the vacuum cleaner 7 is activated, generating high-intensity suction that draws the scattered lint through the suction duct 8 into the vacuum cleaner 7, thus cleaning the dust and debris inside the knitting machine body 2. By controlling the position of the three cabinet doors 3, an outlet is created. Activating the turbine fans 6 again generates high-intensity forward airflow, expelling the dust from inside the knitting machine body 2 through the outlet formed by the cabinet doors 3, facilitating the operation of the operator. The operator cleans the dust and lint inside the knitting machine body 2 to prevent lint from adhering to the machine parts and affecting the normal operation of the components. This also prevents excessive lint from remaining inside the machine and mixing into the finished knitted product, affecting its quality and cleanliness. An extension frame 9 is fixed to one side of the knitting machine 4. When the knitting machine 4 moves left and right, it drives the extension frame 9, causing the brush 10 to adhere tightly to the bottom of the inner wall of the knitting machine body 2, cleaning the dust and lint adhering to the surface of the knitting machine body 2. This prevents dust from sticking to the surface of the knitting machine body 2 and being effectively blown away by the airflow. A fan-shaped filter 11 is placed on the suction side of the turbine fan 6, so that when the turbine fan 6 generates airflow, the air inlet is protected by the fan-shaped filter 11. The system filters dust and lint from the intake air, preventing external lint from being drawn into the knitting machine body 2 by the turbine fan 6. Rollers 14 slide within the circular arc groove 13, allowing the two rollers 14 to contact the ground and roll within the groove 13 when the base 1 is placed on the ground. This allows workers to lift one side of the base 1 to make the other roller 14 roll on the ground, facilitating the movement and relocation of the device. By turning the screw 15 downwards, the support plate 16 moves downwards, bringing its bottom into contact with the ground. Slightly lifting one side of the base 1 further removes the rollers 14 from contact with the ground, allowing the base 1 to roll smoothly. One side of the support leg 12 contacts the ground, while the other side contacts the ground via the support plate 16, thus firmly placing the base 1 on the ground. The hard rubber material of the support plate 16 increases the friction between the support plate 16 and the ground, preventing the support plate 16 from slipping on the ground. The turbine fan 6 and the dust suction duct 8 form a circulating air duct, allowing the air to circulate inside the knitting machine body 2. The natural wind generated by the turbine fan 6 cools the internal machine components of the knitting machine body 2, and the suction of the dust suction duct 8 removes the heat from inside the knitting machine body 2, improving the heat dissipation effect inside the knitting machine body 2 and preventing the heat generated by the machine from coming into contact with the inside of the knitting machine body 2, which would cause the machine to overheat and overload, affecting the service life of the machine.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
