For example, it can be fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally constructed; it can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two devices, elements or components.
[0023] For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0024] With regard to the drawings of the present application, it should be clearly understood that the drawings are for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present specification. It should also be understood that the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale.
[0025] The knitting machine comprises a frame 1 and a power system, which comprises a power shaft 2 rotatably arranged on the frame 1 and a power source. The other structures of the knitting machine are not the protection scheme of the present application, and therefore are not described in detail. It is only necessary to know that when the knitting machine is running, the power shaft rotates, and the disc needle rod is driven to rotate up and down and translate left and right at high speed.
[0026] As Figures 1 to 5As shown in the description, a needle disc rod mechanism of a knitting machine is provided, which comprises a needle disc rod 3, a flange bearing seat 4, a ball screw 5, a ball nut 6, a first swing rod 7 and a second swing rod 8. The needle disc rod 3 comprises a linkage shaft part 30, specifically, the two ends of the needle disc rod 3 are the linkage shaft part 30, preferably a round shaft, and the middle part of the needle disc rod 3 is a square rod part, on which a plurality of needle grooves are uniformly arranged. A track seat 15 is arranged on the frame 1 corresponding to the linkage shaft part 30. The linkage shaft part 30 is rotatably and slidably arranged relative to the track seat 15. Simply, the track seat 15 can be a sleeve with a smooth inner ring, and of course, a bearing can be arranged in the sleeve for connection with the linkage shaft part 30.
[0027] The linkage shaft part 30 is connected with the flange bearing seat 4 and the ball screw 5. The linkage shaft part 30 and the ball screw 5 are rotatably arranged relative to the flange bearing seat 4. Specifically, as shown in the description, Figure 5 The flange bearing seat 4 comprises a first flange plate 41 and a second flange plate 42 connected with each other. A plurality of connecting through holes are arranged on the first flange plate 41 and the second flange plate 42 corresponding to each other, by which riveting or bolt connection can be performed. The linkage shaft part 30 is connected with the first flange plate 41 through a bearing. The ball screw 5 comprises a connecting shaft part 50, which is connected with the second flange plate 42 through a bearing. In this way, the needle disc rod 3 and the ball screw 5 can rotate independently.
[0028] Further, the first flange plate 41 and the second flange plate 42 are one circular and the other is a circular with a notch, as shown in the description. Figure 5
[0029] The ball nut 6 is fixed on the frame 1 and cooperates with the ball screw 5. Specifically, a fixing seat 16 is arranged on the frame 1, and the ball nut 6 is arranged on the fixing seat 16.
[0030] The first swing rod 7 is arranged on the linkage shaft part 30 and is used to drive the linkage shaft part 30 to rotate. The second swing rod 8 is arranged on the ball screw 5 and is used to drive the ball screw 5 to rotate. The power shaft 2 is used to drive the first swing rod 7 and the second swing rod 8 to swing respectively, so that the needle disc rod 3 rotates up and down and translates left and right at the same time. Through this mechanism, the needle disc rod 3 realizes high-speed rotation up and down and translation left and right, and the stability and smoothness of the action process are excellent.
[0031] The linkage structure between the power shaft 2 and the disc needle rod 3 is as follows: the power shaft 2 is provided with a first eccentric wheel 9 and a second eccentric wheel 10, the first eccentric wheel 9 is rotatably provided with a first swing arm 11, one end of the first swing arm 11 away from the first eccentric wheel 9 is rotatably connected with the first swing rod 7, the second eccentric wheel 10 is rotatably provided with a second swing arm 12, one end of the second swing arm 12 away from the second eccentric wheel 10 is rotatably connected with the second swing rod 8, as shown in Figure 2 The direction in which the first swing arm 11 is rotatably arranged relative to the first eccentric wheel 9 and the direction in which the second swing arm 12 is rotatably arranged relative to the second eccentric wheel 10 are different from the direction in which the first swing arm 11 and the first swing rod 7 are rotatably arranged and the direction in which the second swing arm 12 and the second swing rod 8 are rotatably arranged. The former can be regarded as rotating in a horizontal plane, but the horizontal plane will change according to the rotation of the corresponding eccentric wheel. The latter is regarded as rotating in a vertical plane. It can be understood that the rotatable arrangement of the former is to avoid interfering with the left and right movement of the disc needle rod 3.
[0032] In some embodiments, the first swing rod 7 and the second swing rod 8 are provided with an oblong connecting hole 13, the first swing arm 11 and the second swing arm 12 are provided with a bearing body 14 at one end close to the disc needle rod 3, the bearing body 14 is provided with a through hole 140 in the center, and the corresponding swing rod and swing arm can be rotatably connected by a fastening assembly and have adjustability.
[0033] The specific working principle of the above mechanism is as follows: when the power shaft 2 rotates, the first eccentric wheel 9 is driven to rotate, the first swing rod 8 is driven to swing back and forth by the first swing arm 11 as required, so that the disc needle rod 3 rotates by a certain angle up and down. At the same time that the power shaft 2 rotates, the second eccentric wheel 10 is also driven to rotate, the second swing rod 8 is driven to swing slightly by the second swing arm 12. At this time, since the ball nut 6 is fixed, the ball screw 5 will rotate and translate left and right at the same time. When the rotating energy reaches the flange bearing seat 4, the disc needle rod 3 and the ball screw 5 can rotate independently, the rotating energy is unloaded, and the rotation of the disc needle rod 3 will not be affected. However, the translation of the ball screw 5 will normally drive the disc needle rod 3 to translate left and right.
