AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing knitting needles have a one-piece molded structure with a thickness of 0.35mm, which cannot meet the needs of high-density fabric weaving. Reducing the thickness increases the cost and the needle body is not strong enough, causing the knitting needle to wobble easily during the knitting process, which affects the knitting effect.

Method used

Design a knitting needle with a needle tip thickness along the axis of rotation that is less than that of the needle body. The needle tip and needle body are integrally connected by a gradually narrowing connecting part. The needle hook and locking form a closed structure. The needle tip thickness is 0.21-0.23 mm and the needle body thickness is 0.35-0.40 mm. This design is suitable for weaving fabrics with lower density while maintaining the strength of the needle body.

Benefits of technology

This technology enables knitting needles to pass through loops with smaller pores without affecting needle strength, adapting to the needs of fabrics with lower density and ensuring knitting precision and stability.

[0034] The knitting needle further comprises a needle head 20 connected to the upper end of the needle body 10, the upper end of the needle head 20 being provided with a needle hook 30; and a latch 40 hinged to the needle head 20 through a hinge shaft 50 and capable of forming a closed structure with the needle hook 30; the thickness of the needle head 20 along the hinge shaft 50 is less than the thickness of the needle body 10 along the hinge shaft 50.

[0035] In the knitting process, the guide part 11 of the knitting needle slides along the upper wall surface of the guide groove 71, and when moving upwards along the wall surface, the second yarn 82 above is hooked by the needle hook 30 to form a first loop, and when moving downwards along the wall surface, the needle hook 30 pulls the first loop downwards and through the second loop formed by the first yarn 81 below, and then the knitting needle moves upwards to make the first loop pull the latch 40 to flip downwards to open the latch 40, and the first loop is released through the surface of the latch 40, and the process is repeated to knit the garment.

[0036] As shown in Figure 2 , the thickness a of the needle head 20 along the hinge shaft 50 is designed to be less than the thickness b of the needle body 10 along the hinge shaft 50, so that the needle head 20 can pass through the second loop with smaller pores, and can adapt to the knitting requirement with smaller density, and the thickness b of the needle body 10 remains unchanged, which does not affect the structural strength and ensures the accuracy of knitting.

[0037] Further, as shown in Figure 2 , the thickness a of the needle head 20 along the hinge shaft 50 is 0.21-0.23mm, which can adapt to the knitting requirement with smaller density.

[0038] Further, as shown in Figure 2 , the thickness b of the needle body 10 along the hinge shaft 50 is 0.35-0.40mm, the thickness of the needle body 10 remains the conventional size specification, which is thick and not easy to be deflected or deformed, does not affect the structural strength and can ensure the accuracy of knitting.
