Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a stable circular knitting machine, belonging to the technical field of circular knitting machines. Background Technology
[0002] The circular knitting machine, also known as a circular weft knitting machine, is commonly referred to as a circular weft knitting machine in the industry. It has achieved rapid development in the textile field due to its many significant advantages. Its rich loop-forming system, often referred to as the number of yarn feed paths or loop formation paths, or simply "paths," allows the circular knitting machine to complete more knitting actions per unit time. Simultaneously, its high-speed characteristics, combined with its multi-loop-forming system, greatly increase output. In terms of pattern design, the circular knitting machine exhibits high flexibility, with rapid pattern changes, meeting the market's demand for diverse fabric patterns. The fabrics produced are of excellent quality, the process is more streamlined compared to traditional knitting equipment, and the products are highly adaptable, suitable for knitting various types of yarns, and can be processed into a wide variety of fabrics.
[0003] In terms of type, circular knitting machines can be broadly divided into two categories: single-jersey and double-jersey. Further subdivisions can be made based on the specific type of fabric they process, academically known as woven fabric (commonly referred to as greige fabric in factories). Different types of circular knitting machines differ in structural design and functional characteristics to meet the production requirements of various fabrics.
[0004] However, existing circular knitting machines face several pressing issues during actual knitting operations. The yarn tension is closely related to the machine's winding speed. When the winding speed is too slow, the yarn becomes loose. Loose yarn can easily lead to a series of problems in subsequent knitting processes, such as frequent knotting. Once the yarn knots, operators not only need to spend extra time dealing with it, interrupting the normal knitting process, but it can also cause defects in the knitted pattern, affecting fabric quality. In severe cases, repeated yarn knotting can significantly reduce production efficiency, increase production costs, and fail to meet the demands for high-efficiency, high-quality production.
[0005] Given the aforementioned challenges in controlling yarn tension in existing circular knitting machines, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of stable circular knitting machine to effectively solve the production problems caused by yarn tension issues, in order to ensure the stability and efficiency of the knitting process and improve fabric quality. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stable circular knitting machine to solve the above problems. The adjustable components can be adjusted by moving them, so that the tension of the yarn can be adjusted during knitting, thereby alleviating the problem of the yarn being too loose during knitting.
[0007] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a stable circular knitting machine, including a circular knitting machine body, support feet and a circular top plate, and also including an adjustment component and a fixing component. The support feet are fixedly installed on the lower part of the circular knitting machine body, the circular top plate is installed on the upper part of the circular knitting machine body, the adjustment component is set on the upper part of the circular top plate, and the fixing component is installed on the outside of the support feet.
[0008] Preferably, the first guide wheel is provided to assist in the yarn guiding function, so that the yarn can be woven in a regular manner during weaving. The adjustment component includes a mounting side plate fixedly installed on the outside of the circular top plate, a shaft is rotatably connected between the mounting side plates, and the first guide wheel is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the shaft.
[0009] Preferably, the motor is designed to drive the rotating shaft to rotate after being turned on. As the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the gear disk to rotate, and as the gear disk rotates, it drives the bevel gear to rotate. The circular top plate has a placement slot inside, and the motor is installed inside the placement slot. The rotating shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor, and the gear disk is fixedly installed at the top of the rotating shaft.
[0010] Preferably, the bevel gear rotates to drive the lead screw to rotate, and the lead screw rotates to drive the L-shaped moving rod to move. As the L-shaped moving rod moves, it drives the concave frame to move, and as the concave frame moves, it drives the second guide wheel to move for adjustment, so that the tension of the yarn can be adjusted as it expands outward. A mounting side plate is fixedly installed on the top of the circular top plate, and a lead screw is rotatably connected between the inner and outer walls of the mounting side plate. A bevel gear is fixedly installed at one end of the lead screw, and the bevel gear meshes with the gear disc.
[0011] Preferably, the groove makes the slide rod move more smoothly and prevents the L-shaped moving rod from rotating during movement. The top of the circular top plate has a groove, and the slide rod slides inside the groove. The outer surface of the lead screw is screwed with an L-shaped moving rod. The outside of the L-shaped moving rod is fixedly connected to one end of the slide rod. A concave plate is fixedly installed at one end of the L-shaped moving rod, and a second guide wheel is rotatably connected inside the concave plate.
[0012] Preferably, when the mounting nails are in the ground, the base plate and connecting rod can be limited, so that the large circular machine body can reduce swaying and other phenomena. The fixing components include mounting side plates fixedly installed on the outside of the support feet, connecting rods hinged between the mounting side plates, one end of the connecting rods hinged to the base plate, and mounting nails provided between the base plates.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. The adjustable component allows for adjustment of yarn tension by movement, alleviating the problem of loose yarn during weaving. This addresses the issue of loose yarn caused by slow machine weaving speed, which can lead to knots and other problems that affect subsequent weaving progress.
[0015] 2. The fixed components are designed to make the large circular knitting machine body more stable during operation, reducing shaking and other phenomena, and making the whole machine more stable. Attached Figure Description

Circular top plate. Detailed Implementation
[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, a stable circular knitting machine includes a circular knitting machine body 1, support feet 4, and a circular top plate 5. It also includes an adjustment component 2 and a fixing component 3. The support feet 4 are fixedly installed on the lower part of the circular knitting machine body 1, and the circular top plate 5 is installed on the upper part of the circular knitting machine body 1. The adjustment component 2 is located on the upper part of the circular top plate 5, and the fixing component 3 is installed on the outside of the support feet 4. The adjustment component 2 can be adjusted by moving, so that the tension of the yarn can be adjusted during knitting, thereby alleviating the phenomenon of the yarn being too loose during knitting.
[0023] like Figures 1-5As shown, the adjustment assembly 2 includes a connecting side plate 201 fixedly installed on the outside of the circular top plate 5. A shaft 202 is rotatably connected between the connecting side plates 201. A first guide wheel 203 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the shaft 202. A placement groove is opened inside the circular top plate 5. A motor 204 is installed inside the placement groove. A rotating shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 204. A gear disk 205 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating shaft. An installation side plate is fixedly installed on the top of the circular top plate 5. A lead screw 206 is rotatably connected between the inner and outer walls of the installation side plate. A bevel gear 207 is fixedly installed at one end of the lead screw 206. The bevel gear 207 meshes with the gear disk 205. A sliding groove is opened on the top of the circular top plate 5. A sliding rod slides inside the sliding groove. An L-shaped moving rod 208 is screwed to the outer surface of the lead screw 206. The outer side of the L-shaped moving rod 208 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod. A concave plate 209 is fixedly installed at one end of the L-shaped moving rod 208. The machine is rotatably connected to a second guide wheel 210. The user passes the yarn through the first guide wheel 203 and the second guide wheel 210, and finally winds it around the weaving section of the circular knitting machine body 1. If the yarn is too loose during weaving, the motor 204 is turned on to drive the rotating shaft to rotate. As the rotating shaft rotates, the gear disk 205 rotates, which in turn drives the bevel gear 207 to rotate. The bevel gear 207 rotates, which in turn drives the lead screw 206 to rotate. The lead screw 206 rotates, which in turn drives the L-shaped moving rod 208 to move. The L-shaped moving rod 208 moves, which in turn drives the concave frame to move. The concave frame moves, which in turn drives the second guide wheel 210 to adjust its movement. This allows the yarn to expand outward and adjust its tension, thus alleviating the problem of the yarn being too loose during weaving. This also helps to prevent the yarn from becoming too loose due to the machine winding and weaving speed being too slow, which can lead to knots and other problems that affect the subsequent weaving progress.
[0024] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the fixing component 3 includes a mounting side plate fixedly installed on the outside of the support foot 4. A connecting rod 301 is hinged between the mounting side plates. One end of the connecting rod 301 is hinged to a base plate 302. A mounting nail 303 is provided between the base plates 302. By hammering the mounting nail 303 into the ground, the base plate 302 is limited as the mounting nail 303 is hammered. As the base plate 302 is limited, the connecting rod 301 is limited. As the connecting rod 301 is limited, the shaking phenomenon of the large circular knitting machine body 1 during operation is alleviated, making the large circular knitting machine body 1 more stable during operation.
[0025] In use, this utility model involves hammering the mounting nail 303 into the ground. As the mounting nail 303 is hammered, the base plate 302 is limited, which in turn limits the connecting rod 301. This limitation of the connecting rod 301 alleviates the shaking and other phenomena that occur when the circular knitting machine body 1 is working, making the machine body 1 more stable. The user passes the yarn through the first guide wheel 203 and the second guide wheel 210 and finally winds it around the weaving section of the circular knitting machine body 1. If the yarn is too loose during weaving, the motor 204 is turned on, driving the rotating shaft to rotate. As the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the gear disc 205 to rotate. The rotation of the gear disk 205 drives the bevel gear 207 to rotate. As the bevel gear 207 rotates, it drives the lead screw 206 to rotate. As the lead screw 206 rotates, it drives the L-shaped moving rod 208 to move. As the L-shaped moving rod 208 moves, it drives the concave frame to move. As the concave frame moves, it drives the second guide wheel 210 to adjust and move, so that the tension of the yarn can be adjusted as it expands outward. This allows the tension of the yarn to be adjusted during weaving, which alleviates the phenomenon of the yarn being too loose during weaving. This also alleviates the problem of the yarn being too loose when the machine is winding and weaving too slowly. Loose yarn will increase the risk of knotting and affect the subsequent weaving progress.
