Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of knitting needle treatment technology, and in particular to a surface treatment structure for improving the wear resistance of knitting needle heels. Background Technology

[0002] In modern production processes, knitting needles and other mechanical components often face high-frequency movement and friction. Especially in the textile industry, the wear resistance of knitting needles directly affects production efficiency and product quality. When knitting needles operate at high speeds, their heels are easily subjected to greater frictional forces, leading to accelerated wear and consequently affecting the service life of the needles and the quality of the fabric.

[0003] Currently, improving the abrasion resistance of knitting needle surfaces mainly involves surface treatment methods such as carburizing, nitriding, or coating. However, these surface treatment methods often suffer from problems in practical applications, including complex operation, inconsistent results, and high energy consumption. Furthermore, existing knitting needle processing equipment mostly employs traditional grinding methods.

[0004] However, during the polishing process, a large number of knitting needles enter the polishing equipment simultaneously, which can easily cause the equipment to jam, making it difficult to ensure the smoothness of the processing and leading to unevenness in the process, thus affecting the final wear resistance. Therefore, this utility model proposes a surface treatment structure to improve the wear resistance of knitting needle heels in order to meet the need for smoothness in the process of polishing knitting needles and thus improving their wear resistance. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a surface treatment structure to improve the wear resistance of knitting needle heels, so as to solve the problem that when a large number of knitting needles enter the grinding equipment at the same time, the grinding equipment is easily jammed, which makes it difficult to ensure the smoothness of processing and easily leads to unevenness in the processing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a surface treatment structure for improving the wear resistance of knitting needle heels. The structure includes a mounting base, with protective shells on both sides of the top of the mounting base. A drive motor is mounted on each protective shell, and one end of a synchronous belt is fitted onto the output end of the drive motor. Multiple drive shafts are rotatably mounted on the protective shell, with one end of each drive shaft fitted onto the other end of the synchronous belt. A polishing belt is fitted onto the drive shaft. A feed plate is located on one side of the top of the protective shell, and a moving component is located within the feed plate. A discharge component is located at the bottom of the feed plate. The moving component reduces the accumulation and jamming of knitting needles within the feed plate. The discharge component guides the knitting needles out of the feed plate.

[0007] Preferably, the moving component includes a telescopic plate disposed on the inner wall of the feed plate, one end of the telescopic plate being a telescopic structure, a spring disposed inside the telescopic plate, a fixed seat disposed on one side of the top of the telescopic plate, a fixed rod disposed inside the fixed seat, a connecting rod rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the feed plate, a deflection plate disposed on the connecting rod, a telescopic arm disposed at the bottom of the deflection plate, the telescopic arm being a telescopic structure, and one end of the telescopic arm being rotatably sleeved on the fixed rod.

[0008] Preferably, the discharge assembly includes a rotating shaft rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the feed plate. One end of the rotating shaft is connected to the drive shaft via a synchronous belt. Multiple loading troughs are provided on the rotating shaft. The loading troughs are trapezoidal in shape with their height increasing from one side to the other. A trigger plate is provided on one side of the loading trough.

[0009] Preferably, the deflection plate is a plate that deflects to one side, and one side surface of the deflection plate is made of rubber.

[0010] Preferably, a protrusion is provided at the bottom of the retractable end of the telescopic plate, and the trigger plate can contact the protrusion.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the protective shell is provided with splash guards of gradually increasing height, and a receiving hopper is provided on one side of the protective shell.

[0012] Preferably, a limiting rod is provided through one side of the protective shell, and first connectors are provided at both ends of the limiting rod. The grinding belt is attached to the synchronous shaft, and a telescopic spring is provided at the first connector. The other end of the telescopic spring is rotatably connected to the synchronous shaft. Both ends of the synchronous shaft pass through the protective shell, and both ends of the synchronous shaft are provided with threaded structures to adjust the tightness between them and the protective shell. The protective shell is provided with a groove for the synchronous shaft to slide.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. A drive motor drives a synchronous belt to rotate multiple drive shafts. A polishing belt fitted on the drive shaft polishes the needle heels. Splash guards on both sides of the top of the protective housing prevent splashes generated during polishing from affecting the working environment. These splash guards effectively protect the working environment, ensuring the safety of the equipment and operators. Moving components inside the feed plate effectively prevent needles from accumulating or jamming during feeding, ensuring that the needles enter the subsequent processing stages stably and orderly. The discharge components at the bottom smoothly guide the needles to the next processing position, ensuring a smooth and efficient entire process. The entire system is easy to operate and maintain, significantly improving production efficiency.

[0015] 2. The drive motor drives the synchronous belt to rotate, which in turn drives the drive shaft to rotate, causing the grinding belt to rotate. Simultaneously, the drive shaft rotates, causing the rotating shaft to rotate as well. Multiple loading slots are mounted on the rotating shaft. These slots are trapezoidal in shape, with their height gradually increasing from one side to the other. This effectively guides the knitting needles in the feed plate, ensuring they enter the subsequent processing stages evenly, avoiding accumulation or jamming. This ensures smooth flow of the knitting needles and prevents jamming or stagnation, further improving the stability and automation level of the equipment. A trigger plate is located on one side of the loading slot. The trigger plate contacts a protrusion on the bottom of the telescopic plate. Therefore, as the rotating shaft rotates, the telescopic plate retracts, allowing the knitting needles in the feed plate to enter the loading slot. When the trigger plate contacts the protrusion, it actuates, further pushing the knitting needles smoothly out of the loading slot, ensuring smooth needle discharge. This simplifies the discharge process and improves the overall efficiency and safety of the production line.

[0016] 3. During the extension and retraction of the telescopic plate, the fixed base moves synchronously. This allows the telescopic arm to rotate around the axis of the fixed rod. Since the telescopic arm is a telescopic structure, as it rotates with the telescopic plate, it also drives the deflection plate to deflect around the axis of the connecting rod. This effectively prevents the knitting needles from getting stuck or accumulating in the feed plate, ensuring smooth needle flow and avoiding blockages. This improves the stability and efficiency of feeding, and the operation is simple and highly reliable, helping to enhance the automation level and processing efficiency of the production line.

[0017] 4. The combination of the limiting rod and the telescopic spring ensures the smooth operation of the synchronous shaft within the protective housing, and allows for adjustment of its tension and tightness as needed. The threaded structure of the synchronous shaft provides more flexible adjustment space, effectively controlling the tension of the grinding belt and preventing excessive looseness or tightness from adversely affecting the grinding effect. The sliding groove structure of the protective housing makes the adjustment of the synchronous shaft smoother, reducing friction and wear, improving the stability and efficiency of the system, ensuring the high efficiency and consistency of the surface treatment process, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0026] like Figures 1-4As shown, a surface treatment structure for improving the wear resistance of knitting needle heels includes a mounting base 1. Protective shells 2 are provided on both sides of the top of the mounting base 1. A drive motor 5 is mounted on the protective shell 2, and a synchronous belt 6 is fitted onto the output end of the drive motor 5. Multiple drive shafts 7 are rotatably mounted on the protective shell 2, with one end of one drive shaft 7 fitted onto the other end of the synchronous belt 6. A polishing belt 8 is fitted onto the drive shaft 7. A feed plate 3 is provided on one side of the top of the protective shell 2. Splash guards 4 of gradually increasing height are provided on the top of the protective shell 2. A receiving hopper is provided on one side of the protective shell 2. A moving component is provided inside the feed plate 3. A discharge component is provided at the bottom of the feed plate 3. The moving component is used to reduce the phenomenon of knitting needles accumulating and jamming inside the feed plate 3. The discharge component is used to guide the knitting needles out of the feed plate 3.

[0027] The drive motor 5 drives the synchronous belt 6, which in turn drives multiple drive shafts 7 to rotate. The abrasion belt 8 fitted on the drive shaft 7 abrades the needle heels of the knitting needles. The splash guards 4 on both sides of the top of the protective shell 2 prevent splashes generated during the abrasion process from affecting the working environment. The splash guards 4 effectively protect the working environment and ensure the safety of the equipment and the operators. The moving components in the feed plate 3 can effectively prevent the knitting needles from accumulating or jamming during the feeding process, ensuring that the knitting needles enter the subsequent processing stage stably and orderly. The discharge components at the bottom smoothly guide the knitting needles to the subsequent processing position, ensuring that the entire working process is smooth and efficient. The whole system is easy to operate and maintain, and can significantly improve production efficiency.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the discharge assembly includes a rotating shaft 15 rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the feed plate 3. One end of the rotating shaft 15 is connected to the drive shaft 7 via a synchronous belt 6. Multiple loading troughs 16 are provided on the rotating shaft 15. The loading troughs 16 are trapezoidal in shape with their height increasing from one side to the other. A trigger plate 17 is provided on one side of the loading trough 16. A protrusion is provided at the bottom of the retractable end of the telescopic plate 11, and the trigger plate 17 can contact the protrusion.

[0029] The drive motor 5 drives the synchronous belt 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive shaft 7 to rotate, causing the grinding belt 8 to rotate. Simultaneously, the rotation of the drive shaft 7 causes the rotating shaft 15 to rotate. Multiple loading slots 16 are mounted on the rotating shaft 15. These slots are trapezoidal in shape, with their height gradually increasing from one side to the other. This effectively guides the knitting needles within the feed plate 3, ensuring they enter the subsequent processing stages evenly and preventing accumulation or jamming. This ensures smooth flow of the knitting needles and avoids jamming or stagnation. This further enhances the stability and automation level of the equipment. A trigger plate 17 is provided on one side of the loading trough 16. The trigger plate 17 can contact the protrusion at the bottom of the telescopic plate 11. Therefore, when the rotating shaft 15 rotates, the telescopic plate 11 can be retracted, allowing the knitting needles in the feed plate 3 to enter the loading trough 16. When the trigger plate 17 contacts the protrusion, it will generate an action, further pushing the knitting needles to flow smoothly out of the loading trough 16, ensuring smooth material discharge of the knitting needles; simplifying the material discharge process and improving the overall efficiency and safety of the production line.

[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the moving assembly includes a telescopic plate 11 disposed on the inner wall of the feed plate 3. One end of the telescopic plate 11 is telescopic. A spring is disposed inside the telescopic plate 11. A fixed seat 13 is disposed on one side of the top of the telescopic plate 11. A fixed rod 14 is disposed inside the fixed seat 13. A connecting rod 9 is rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the feed plate 3. A deflection plate 10 is disposed on the connecting rod 9. A telescopic arm 12 is disposed at the bottom of the deflection plate 10. The telescopic arm 12 is telescopic. One end of the telescopic arm 12 is rotatably sleeved on the fixed rod 14. The deflection plate 10 is a plate that deflects to one side. One side surface of the deflection plate 10 is made of rubber.

[0031] During the extension and retraction of the telescopic plate 11, the fixed base 13 can move synchronously. At this time, the telescopic arm 12 can rotate around the axis of the fixed rod 14. Since the telescopic arm 12 is a telescopic structure, as the telescopic arm 12 rotates with the telescopic plate 11, it can drive the deflection plate 10 to deflect around the axis of the connecting rod 9. This can effectively prevent the knitting needles from getting stuck or accumulating in the feed plate 3, ensuring smooth flow of the knitting needles, avoiding blockage, improving the stability and efficiency of feeding, and is simple to operate and highly reliable. It helps to improve the automation level and processing efficiency of the production line.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a limiting rod 18 is provided through one side of the protective shell 2, and a first connector 19 is provided at both ends of the limiting rod 18. The grinding belt 8 is attached to the synchronous shaft 21. A telescopic spring 20 is provided on the first connector 19. The other end of the telescopic spring 20 is rotatably connected to the synchronous shaft 21. Both ends of the synchronous shaft 21 pass through the protective shell 2. Both ends of the synchronous shaft 21 are provided with threaded structures to adjust the tightness between it and the protective shell 2. The protective shell 2 is provided with a groove for the synchronous shaft 21 to slide.

[0033] The cooperation of the limiting rod 18 and the telescopic spring 20 ensures the smooth operation of the synchronous shaft 21 within the protective shell 2, and allows for adjustment of its tension and tightness as needed. The threaded structure of the synchronous shaft 21 provides more flexible adjustment space, effectively controlling the tension of the grinding belt 8 and preventing excessive looseness or tightness from adversely affecting the grinding effect. The sliding groove structure of the protective shell 2 makes the adjustment of the synchronous shaft 21 smoother, reducing friction and wear, improving the stability and efficiency of the system, ensuring the high efficiency and consistency of the surface treatment process, and extending the service life of the equipment.
