[0024] In order to make the technical means, creative features, purposes and effects of the present application easy to understand, the present application will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0025] Embodiment 1
[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The present application provides a cloth cutting structure of an intelligent circular knitting machine technical scheme:
[0027] As shown in Figure 1 , the position of the line cutting type cloth cutting structure 2 according to the embodiment 1 of the present application will be described in detail.
[0028] The structure includes a circular knitting machine base 1 and a line cutting type cloth cutting structure 2.
[0029] The circular knitting machine base 1 is installed at the bottom of the circular knitting machine. The circular knitting machine mainly performs knitting work through a series of needles on the needle cylinder (or needle disc).
[0030] These needles are arranged in a specific way and can move up and down to form loops and then knit into cloth. According to different knitting methods, the circular knitting machine can be divided into two categories: single-sided machine and double-sided machine.
[0031] Among them, single-face machines are mainly used to weave fabrics with a single structure such as plain weave; while double-face machines can weave fabrics with a variety of complex structures such as rib knit and air layer fabric.
[0032] The wire cutting fabric cutting structure 2 is located on the top inner side of the base 1 of the circular knitting machine, and performs wire cutting on the output fabric to ensure the flatness of the fabric cutting.
[0033] The inner top of the base 1 of the circular knitting machine is provided with a material outlet seat 11, and the middle part of the material outlet seat 11 is provided with a fabric output channel 12. The fabric output channel 12 is used to position the fabric output, effectively preventing the fabric output from being skewed and affecting the fabric winding work.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the detailed structure of the wire cutting fabric structure 2 according to Embodiment 1 of this utility model will be described in detail.
[0035] The wire cutting fabric cutting structure 2 includes a cutting seat 21 attached to the bottom surface of the feed seat 11. The cutting seat 21 has an output port 22 in the middle that is connected to the fabric output channel 12. There is an assembly groove 23 on both sides of the inner wall of the output port 22. The assembly groove 23 has a drive cylinder 24 with the output end pointing forward. A heater 25 is connected to the output end of the drive cylinder 24. A cutting line 26 is horizontally connected between the output ends of the two heaters 25. There are several insertion rods 27 on the top edge of the cutting seat 21. There are several elastic retaining rings 28 on the outer wall of the insertion rods 27 from top to bottom.
[0036] The bottom edge of the discharge seat 11 is provided with a plug groove 13 that is fitted with the plug rod 27, and the inner wall of the plug groove 13 is provided with an annular groove 14 that engages with the elastic retaining ring 28.
[0037] For ease of operation, the outer wall of the cutting seat 21 is equipped with a control panel for controlling the operation of the drive cylinder 24 and the heater 25. The operator can extend or retract the output end of the drive cylinder 24 by operating the control panel, so that the heater 25 can generate heat.
[0038] A control panel is an interface used to operate, monitor, and control system functions. It provides users with an intuitive and efficient way to manage and control the functions of related systems or devices. With technological advancements, control panels are becoming increasingly intelligent and user-friendly, and are increasingly adopting advanced technologies such as touchscreens and voice recognition to enhance the user experience.
[0039] To improve the efficiency of the drive, the drive cylinder 24 is one of an electric cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder, with an electric cylinder being preferred, as electric cylinders are easy to inspect and maintain.
[0040] like Figure 3As shown, the position of the cleaving line 26 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described in detail.
[0041] In order to accurately cut the fabric, when the output end of the drive cylinder 24 is fully extended, the cutting line 26 is close to the inner wall of the output port 22. During cutting, the output end of the drive cylinder 24 drives the cutting line 26 to squeeze the fabric to the inner wall of the output port 22. Under the action of force and heat, the cutting is completed.
[0042] To improve the stability of the connection, the plug rod 27 and the cutting seat 21 are connected by an integral molding method. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The connection method between the plug rod 27 and the cutting seat 21 only needs to ensure that the connection is fixed.
[0043] For thermally conductive cutting, the cutting wire 26 is specifically a heating wire; however, the present invention is not limited to this, and the cutting wire 26 only needs to be thermally conductive and wear-resistant.
[0044] A heating wire is a resistive material used to convert electrical energy into heat energy. It is usually made of high resistivity alloys, such as nickel-chromium alloys (NiCr) and iron-chromium-aluminum alloys (FeCrAl). These materials can generate heat when an electric current passes through them because the current encounters resistance when passing through a conductor with resistance. This resistance causes some of the electrical energy to be converted into heat energy, a phenomenon known as the Joule heating effect.
[0045] To facilitate disassembly and maintenance, the discharge seat 11 is connected to the base 1 of the circular knitting machine by bolts. However, this utility model is not limited to this. The connection between the discharge seat 11 and the base 1 of the circular knitting machine only needs to be detachable.
[0046] To prevent rust and corrosion, the cutting seat 21 is made of stainless steel. However, this utility model is not limited to this. The cutting seat 21 can also be protected against rust and corrosion by applying anti-rust paint.
[0047] In order for the drive cylinder 24 and heater 25 to work normally, the cutting seat 21 is externally connected to a wire that supplies power to the drive cylinder 24 and heater 25.
[0048] For ease of insertion, the insertion rod 27 is cylindrical. However, this invention is not limited to this. The insertion rod 27 can also be a cuboid, cube, or other structures that facilitate insertion.
[0049] The intelligent circular knitting machine adopts a quick-release wire cutting structure 2 on the feed seat 11, which effectively improves the convenience of inspection and maintenance, and also helps to reduce noise. During operation, the knitted fabric enters the fabric output channel 12 and is finally output from the output port 22. When the fabric is in the output port 22, it is located in front of the cutting line 26. When cutting is required, the operator operates the control panel to make the heater 25 input heat into the cutting line 26. At the same time, the output end of the drive cylinder 24 extends forward, and the heater 25 drives the cutting line 26 to perform thermal cutting on the fabric. The operation is simple and the process is quiet.
[0050] Variations of the embodiments
[0051] For the sake of brevity, the parts that are the same as those in other embodiments will not be described again. The main description is of the structure that is different from other embodiments of this utility model. The plug rod 27 and the cutting seat 21 can also be connected by welding. This connection method can make the plug rod 27 more durable and wear-resistant by using plug rods 27 made of different materials to connect with the cutting seat 21.
[0052] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model.
