Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fiber yarn production technology, specifically to a yarn guide structure for a flat knitting machine for fiber yarn production. Background Technology
[0002] Computerized flat knitting machine is a double-needle plate-latch needle weft knitting machine. Its cam device is like a set of flat cams. The needle feet can enter the groove of the cam. Moving the cam forces the needle to make regular up-and-down movements in the needle groove of the needle plate. Through the action of the needle hook and the needle tongue, the yarn can be knitted into a knitted fabric.
[0003] The patent publication number CN204023124U discloses a yarn feeding guide for a computerized flat knitting machine, which includes a yarn guide hole bracket, a yarn guide nozzle support, and a yarn guide nozzle. The yarn guide nozzle is located at the lower part of the yarn guide nozzle support, and a U-shaped groove is provided at the upper part of the yarn guide nozzle support. The yarn guide nozzle is fixed by the yarn guide nozzle support and the U-shaped groove. The yarn guide nozzle has a yarn guide hole one for passing through the ground yarn and a yarn guide hole two for passing through the face yarn through it longitudinally.
[0004] As shown in the above technology, the yarn guide structure uses a positioning cylinder to position and guide the yarn. The yarn moves in the positioning cylinder and comes into contact with the inner wall of the positioning cylinder and generates friction. After long-term use, the inner wall of the positioning cylinder wears down, which causes the positioning to change and affects the positional accuracy of the yarn guide. Existing positioning cylinders are usually fixed and inconvenient to disassemble. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 The yarn guide structure of this fiber yarn production flat knitting machine offers two technical solutions:
[0024] The first embodiment includes a yarn guide bracket 1 and a yarn guide nozzle 2. The yarn guide bracket 1 is divided into an upper part, a middle part and a lower part. A positioning mechanism 3 is provided in the middle part of the yarn guide bracket 1, and the yarn guide nozzle 2 is installed in the lower part of the yarn guide bracket 1.
[0025] The positioning mechanism 3 includes a connecting frame 31, which is fixed to the middle of the yarn guide bracket 1 by bolts and nuts. Both ends of the connecting frame 31 are fixedly connected to connecting plates 32 by bolts and nuts. A mounting cylinder 33 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 32, and a positioning cylinder 38 is installed inside the mounting cylinder 33. The mounting cylinder 33 has two L-shaped grooves 34, one in front and one behind. A fixing ring 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the mounting cylinder 33, and a movable ring 36 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting cylinder 33. A limit spring 37 is fixedly connected between the opposite sides of the fixing ring 35 and the movable ring 36, and the limit spring 37 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting cylinder 33. The L-shaped grooves 34 have a vertical part and a horizontal arc part. Two mounting rods 39 are fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning cylinder 38. The positioning cylinder 38 is inserted into the inside of the mounting cylinder 33 and rotated so that the mounting rods 39 enter the horizontal arc part of the L-shaped groove 34 to complete the installation of the positioning cylinder 38.
[0026] The positioning cylinder 38 in the positioning mechanism 3 is installed in the mounting cylinder 33. When the positioning cylinder 38 is severely worn, it can be replaced. When replacing it, you only need to rotate the positioning cylinder 38 so that the mounting rod 39 is aligned with the vertical part of the L-shaped groove 34 to remove it, which improves the practicality of the device during operation.
[0027] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the length of the yarn guide nozzle 2 can be adjusted, and the position is locked by the sliding locking assembly 4 after the length is adjusted. The sliding locking assembly includes a groove 41 opened in the yarn guide bracket 1. The yarn guide nozzle 2 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the groove 41. A T-shaped groove 42 is opened on the front of the yarn guide nozzle 2. A slide rod 43 is slidably connected to the front of the lower part of the yarn guide bracket 1. A pressure plate 44 is fixedly connected to one end of the slide rod 43 located in the T-shaped groove 42. The slide rod 43 passes through the yarn guide bracket 1 and is rotatably connected to a cam handle 45 at the end extending to the rear of the yarn guide bracket 1. The slide rod 43 and the pressure plate 44 form a T-shape. The cam handle 45 rotates and drives the pressure plate 44 to move through the slide rod 43, so that the pressure plate 44 presses against the yarn guide nozzle 2 to lock and fix the adjusted position of the yarn guide nozzle 2.
[0028] The length of the yarn guide nozzle 2 can be adjusted, and after adjustment, the adjusted position of the yarn guide nozzle 2 can be quickly locked by rotating the cam handle 45, which improves the convenience of using the device.
[0029] When installing the positioning cylinder 38, insert the positioning cylinder 38 into the mounting cylinder 33. During insertion, align the mounting rod 39 with the vertical part of the L-shaped groove 34. During insertion, the mounting rod 39 contacts the movable ring 36, pushing the movable ring 36 to move. When the mounting rod 39 aligns with the horizontal arc-shaped part of the L-shaped groove 34, rotate the positioning cylinder 38 so that the mounting rod 39 enters the horizontal arc-shaped part. The elastic force of the limit spring 37 stabilizes the position of the positioning cylinder 38 after installation. In addition, when adjusting the length of the yarn guide 2, rotate the cam handle 45 to disengage the pressure plate 44 from pressing the yarn guide 2. Then move the yarn guide 2 up and down. After adjustment, rotate the cam handle 45 in the opposite direction to lock the adjusted position.
