Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of knitting machine technology, specifically to a yarn tension adjustment device for a knitting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A knitting machine is an industrial device used to mechanically interweave yarns or other fibrous materials into fabrics. It forms a fabric structure by interweaving the warp and weft yarns according to their regularity.

[0003] Chinese patent discloses a yarn tension adjusting device (publication number: CN222743770U), including an operating table. A pressure plate is provided at the upper end of the first connecting rod, and a locking tip is provided at the upper end of the second connecting rod. The gear matches the locking tip. A spiral spring is provided on the surface of the gear near the second roller. The ends of two spiral springs away from the gear are connected to the second roller. Multiple fixing rods are provided on the surface of the second roller, and each fixing rod has a V-shaped notch at its upper end. This invention first draws the yarn under the pressure plate, then presses the yarn onto the left first roller, then passes the yarn under the right first roller, and finally presses the yarn into the V-shaped notch of the fixing rod. Then, the gear is rotated to engage the second connecting rod with the gear. Under the action of the second spring, the gear is firmly locked in place; there is no threading operation, reducing operation time.

[0004] However, the following drawbacks still exist: roving requires greater tension to prevent loosening, while fine yarn requires gentler handling to prevent breakage. If the equipment cannot adjust the tension, it may cause fine yarn breakage, requiring machine shutdown, or roving to become loose, affecting the quality of the finished textile product. Fine yarn usually requires lower processing speeds to reduce wear, while roving can withstand higher speeds. However, a fixed speed may lead to frequent yarn breakage during fine yarn processing or low efficiency in roving processing.

[0005] To address this issue, we propose a yarn tension adjustment device for knitting machines. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a yarn tension adjustment device for a knitting machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

The feed roller is used to hold the yarn, while the movable roller assists in moving the yarn.

[0011] The adjustment assembly includes a first motor, the side of which is fixedly connected to the side of an L-shaped plate. The top surface of the L-shaped plate has a first through groove and a second through groove running from right to left. A first reciprocating threaded rod is rotatably provided on the inner wall of the first through groove through a bearing seat. The outer surface of the first reciprocating threaded rod penetrates the inner wall of the first through groove and the inner wall of the second through groove and extends into the second through groove. The end face of the output rod of the first motor is fixedly fitted with the first threaded rod. The outer surface of the first threaded rod penetrates the side of the L-shaped plate and the inner wall of the second through groove and extends into the second through groove. The knitting machine body is a double-sided circular knitting machine structure, and its adjustment device is installed at the upper yarn roller.

[0012] A further improvement is that the moving mechanism includes a dual-axis motor, the bottom surface of which is fixedly connected to the top surface of the L-shaped plate. Two pulleys are fitted onto the upper end of the output rod of the dual-axis motor. The upper end of the output rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pulley located on the left side. Two third through slots are formed through the side of the L-shaped plate. The inner walls of the two third through slots are respectively provided with second reciprocating threaded rods via bearing seats. These second reciprocating threaded rods drive the movement of the second U-shaped plates on both sides. The detachable bolt design facilitates replacement and maintenance.

[0013] A further improvement is that a first bevel gear is fixedly sleeved on the front end face of the first threaded rod, and a second bevel gear is fixedly sleeved on the left end face of the first reciprocating threaded rod. The side of the first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear. A first slider is threadedly sleeved on the outer surface of the first reciprocating threaded rod. A first U-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the top surface of the first slider. A fourth through groove is opened through the side of the first U-shaped plate. A first hydraulic rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of each of the two fourth through grooves. By setting the first hydraulic rod to move up and down, the tension of the yarn can be effectively adjusted.

[0014] A further improvement is that a movable plate is slidably arranged on the inner wall of the two fourth channels, the lower end face of the two first hydraulic rod output rods is fixedly connected to the top surface of the movable plate, and a first extrusion roller is rotatably arranged on the top surface of the movable plate through a bearing seat.

[0015] A further improvement is that the outer surfaces of the two second reciprocating threaded rods respectively penetrate the inner top surface of the L-shaped plate and extend to the top surface of the L-shaped plate. The upper end face of the second reciprocating threaded rod on the left is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the output rod of the dual-axis motor, and the upper end face of the second reciprocating threaded rod on the right is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pulley on the right. By setting the second reciprocating threaded rods, the second U-shaped plate is driven to move up and down.

[0016] A further improvement is that a third slider is threaded onto the outer surface of each of the two second reciprocating threaded rods, a support block is fixedly installed on the side of each of the two third sliders, a second U-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the side of each of the two support blocks by bolts, and a second extrusion roller is rotatably mounted on the inner side of each of the two second U-shaped plates by bearing seats.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the yarn tension adjustment device of the knitting machine, by setting an adjustment mechanism, by setting a first motor to drive the first threaded rod to rotate, so that the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear mesh, thereby driving the first reciprocating threaded rod to rotate, so that the first U-shaped plate moves, and effectively adjusts the tension according to different yarn types, thereby adapting to the needs of different yarn varieties and fabric structures, and improving the reliability and stability of yarn tension adjustment;

[0018] By setting up a moving mechanism, a dual-axis motor drives a pulley to rotate, which in turn drives the second reciprocating threaded rods on both sides to rotate, thereby moving the second U-shaped plates on both sides up and down. This ensures stable yarn flow during the weaving process and reduces unevenness in the coil structure. At the same time, a first hydraulic rod moves the first squeezing roller up and down, thereby adjusting the yarn transport speed of the knitting machine according to the value displayed above the tension sensor. Unlike the fixed speed of existing knitting machines, this allows for a smoother fabric surface when using yarns of different thicknesses, thus improving the quality of the fabric weaving.
