[0002] A circular knitting machine is a common piece of equipment in the textile industry, primarily used for weaving cylindrical knitted fabrics. Unlike traditional flat looms, circular knitting machines employ a circular weaving method. The fabric is woven through a rotating cylinder. The basic working principle of a circular knitting machine is that a set of needle plates and needles, rotating, drives the yarn through the weaving mechanism to form a knitted structure. The circular structure of the machine can continuously produce ring-shaped or cylindrical fabrics. Specifically, the yarn undergoes a series of knitting actions, such as purl stitches, knitting, and crocheting, to form the desired fabric.

[0003] Current roller-type circular looms require multiple sets of bobbins to operate. When the yarn on the bobbins runs out, manual replacement is usually necessary. This involves manually inserting the bobbins into the bobbin surface, then installing a baffle on the front of the bobbin to prevent the bobbins from detaching. The entire installation process requires replacing multiple bobbins, is time-consuming, and impacts the equipment's processing efficiency. To address these issues, we provide a roller-type circular loom feeding system. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model is a roller-type circular loom feeding system, including a base 1, a storage rack 2 installed on the top of the base 1, and a robotic arm body 3 installed on the front side of the storage rack 2; a conveying assembly is installed inside the base 1, the conveying assembly includes a drive motor 4, the drive motor 4 is installed on one side of the storage rack 2, the output end of the drive motor 4 is fixedly connected to a conveying roller 5, a conveyor belt 6 is sleeved on the surface of the conveyor roller 5, and a support rod 7 is installed on the surface of the conveyor belt 6; a snap-fit ​​assembly is installed inside the support rod 7, the snap-fit ​​assembly includes a snap-fit ​​groove 8, the snap-fit ​​groove 8 is opened at the top of the support rod 7, a snap-fit ​​block 9 is installed inside the snap-fit ​​groove 8, an adjusting rod 10 is movably connected inside the snap-fit ​​block 9, and a movable sleeve 11 is movably connected to the other end of the adjusting rod 10.

[0027] Specifically: The movement of the robotic arm is controlled by a drive system. The drive device usually uses an electric motor, hydraulic system, or pneumatic system. The electric motor provides power and transmits the motion through a transmission system such as gears and belts. Compressed air drives the cylinder, which drives the movement of the robotic arm joints. Multiple sets of pulleys are installed on the surface of the conveyor roller 5, and the conveyor belt 6 is installed inside the pulleys. When the drive motor 4 drives the conveyor roller 5, it can convey multiple sets of support rods 7 while keeping multiple sets of support rods 7 at the same horizontal position. The snap-fit ​​block 9 is movably connected to the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 8 through a pin. One side of the snap-fit ​​block 9 is designed to be inclined. When the spool is sleeved onto the surface of the support rod 7, the inner wall of the spool can be used to push the snap-fit ​​block 9.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Please see Figure 1-6 Based on Embodiment 1, the snap-fit ​​assembly further includes a movable rod 12, which is slidably connected inside the movable sleeve 11. A push block 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable rod 12. One end of the movable rod 12 extends through to the outside of the support rod 7 and is fixedly connected to a knob 14. A support seat 15 is fitted on the surface of the movable rod 12. The bottom of the support seat 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support rod 7. A first spring 16 is fitted on the surface of the movable rod 12. One end of the first spring 16 is fixedly connected to the movable sleeve 11. A limit block 17 is fixedly connected to the other end of the movable rod 12. A movable hole is opened on the front side of the support rod 7. A movable shell 18 is installed at the output end of the robot body 3. Electric push rods 19 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the movable shell 18. The output end of the electric push rod 19 extends through the movable shell 18 and is fixedly connected to a clamping plate 20. A pressure rod 21 is provided through one side of the movable shell 18. A pressure block 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the pressure rod 21. A second spring 23 is fitted on the surface of the pressure rod 21. One end of the second spring 23 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable shell 18.

[0030] Specifically: The adjusting rod 10 is movably connected between the movable sleeve 11 and the locking block 9. The locking block 9 has an inclined groove inside, so that when the locking block 9 rotates into the support rod 7, it will not conflict with the movable rod 12. The first spring 16 and the second spring 23 both have the function of compression and energy storage. The first spring 16 can elastically reset the movable sleeve 11, and the second spring 23 can elastically reset the pressure block 22. The second spring 23 can drive the pressure block 22 to continuously squeeze the knob 14.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to install the spool, the robot arm body 3 can be used to drive the moving shell 18 to move. The electric push rod 19 drives the two sets of clamping plates 20 to move relative to each other to clamp the spool on the top of the workbench. Then, the robot arm body 3 drives the spool to align with the support rod 7 on the surface of the conveyor belt 6 and pushes the spool so that the spool is sleeved on the surface of the support rod 7. When the spool moves, it pushes the snap-fit ​​block 9. After the snap-fit ​​block 9 is pushed, it drives the adjusting rod 10 and the moving sleeve 11 to move and squeezes the first spring 16.

[0032] Once the spool is fully inserted into the surface of the support rod 7, the first spring 16 resets the locking block 9, which limits the spool and prevents it from detaching from the support rod 7. Then, the drive motor 4 is started. The drive motor 4, together with the conveyor roller 5, drives the conveyor belt 6 and the support rod 7 to rotate in a cycle. The robot arm 3 then installs multiple sets of spools onto the surface of the support rod 7 in stages, achieving automatic feeding. After the wire is used up, the spool can also be circulated to the bottom of the storage rack 2 by the rotation of the conveyor belt 6, making it easy to pick up and unload the wire and improve the processing efficiency of the equipment.

[0033] When the wire on the surface of the spool is used up, the robotic arm body 3 can be used again to move the movable shell 18, aligning the pressure block 22 with the knob 14. Then, the movable shell 18 is moved closer to the support rod 7. After the knob 14 contacts the pressure block 22, it will compress the second spring 23. Figure 6 As shown, continue to push the knob 14. The knob 14, together with the moving rod 12, drives the push block 13 to push the moving sleeve 11. The moving sleeve 11, together with the adjusting rod 10, drives the locking block 9 to tilt downward and rotate into the support rod 7, thus canceling the limit on the spool. Then, control the electric push rod 19 to drive the clamping plate 20 to clamp and fix the spool. After that, control the moving shell 18 to separate from the support rod 7, so that the spool can be removed, completing the rapid unloading and improving the processing efficiency of the equipment.

[0034] All standard parts used in this invention can be purchased from the market, and can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. The control method is automatic control through the control unit. The control circuit of the control unit can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art, which is common knowledge in the field. Therefore, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail in this invention.

[0035] The preferred embodiments of the present utility model disclosed above are only used to help illustrate the present utility model. The preferred embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor do they limit the present utility model to the specific implementation methods described. The present specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments in order to better explain the principle and practical application of the present utility model, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and utilize the present utility model.
