Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a circular knitting machine that is easy to maintain, and belongs to the field of circular knitting machine technology. Background Technology
[0002] A circular knitting machine, also known as a circular weft knitting machine, is an industrial piece of equipment used to produce knitted fabrics. Due to its numerous loop-forming systems, high speed, high output, rapid pattern changes, good fabric quality, fewer processing steps, and strong product adaptability, the circular knitting machine has experienced rapid development. Before starting and after turning off the machine each day, wipe the surface of the machine with a clean, soft cloth to remove dust and yarn debris. Pay special attention to cleaning key parts such as the cylinder, cam seat, and yarn feeder to prevent impurities from accumulating and affecting machine operation.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218404626U, which discloses a knitting circular knitting machine that is easy to maintain. This includes a frame door for easy access to the fabric inside the machine and for maintenance of internal parts; a first filter screen that slides between mounting slots, allowing the user to easily remove or install the first filter screen from the mounting slots, thus preventing dust from entering the machine through ventilation holes; and a first spring that uses its elasticity to press the top plate against the first filter screen, thereby improving the position of the first filter screen within the mounting slots.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors discovered the following drawbacks: the filter screen is difficult to clean. If the filter screen is not cleaned, knitting debris will continuously accumulate on it, gradually clogging the yarn channels. This hinders the yarn during operation, leading to unstable yarn tension, which in turn affects the fabric weaving quality, resulting in problems such as uneven fabric density and tension bands.
