[0028] The existing needle selection roller includes a roller 1 and a needle selection pin area disposed on the roller 1. The needle selection pin area contains a needle selection pin, which cooperates with the needle pick to select needles. The existing needle selection pin area includes a little finger area, a ring finger area 3, a middle finger area 4, an index finger area 5, a three-finger palm area 6, a second little finger area 7, a four-finger palm area 8, a thumb area 9, and a five-finger palm and crease area 10. In order to meet the requirement that the same needle selection roller 1 can be used for knitting both flat-fork gloves and low-fork gloves, this utility model embodiment provides a needle selection roller, such as... Figure 1As shown, the device includes a roller 1 and a needle selection pin area disposed on the roller 1. The needle selection pin area includes not only the ring finger area 3, middle finger area 4, index finger area 5, three-finger palm area 6, four-finger palm area 8, thumb area 9, and five-finger palm and ribbed area 10, but also the first little finger area 2 and the second little finger area 7. The first little finger area 2 is used to participate in the knitting of the flat-fork glove, that is, when knitting the flat-fork glove, the first little finger area 2, ring finger area 3, middle finger area 4, index finger area 5, four-finger palm area 8, thumb area 9, and five-finger palm and ribbed area 10 are used in combination. The second little finger area 7 is used to participate in the knitting of the low-fork glove, that is, the ring finger area 3, middle finger area 4, index finger area 5, three-finger palm area 6, second little finger area 7, four-finger palm area 8, thumb area 9, and five-finger palm and ribbed area 10 are used in combination. In summary, by setting a first little finger area 2 for knitting flat gloves and a second little finger area 7 for knitting low-cut gloves on the roller 1, the same needle selection roller 1 can switch between knitting needles for both low-cut and regular gloves.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first little finger area 2, ring finger area 3, middle finger area 4, index finger area 5, three-finger palm area 6, second little finger area 7, four-finger palm area 8, thumb area 9, and five-finger palm and ribbed area 10 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom on the unfolded roller 1. Therefore, in the actual knitting process, it is only necessary to knit according to the order of the areas from top to bottom. Specifically, when knitting a flat-fork glove, the first little finger area 2, ring finger area 3, middle finger area 4, index finger area 5, four-finger palm area 8, thumb area 9, and five-finger palm and ribbed area 10 can be selected for needle selection in the following order. Specifically, when knitting a low-fork glove, the ring finger area 3, middle finger area 4, index finger area 5, three-finger palm area 6, second little finger area 7, four-finger palm area 8, thumb area 9, and five-finger palm and ribbed area 10 can be selected for needle selection in the following order. In summary, the needle selection areas are set sequentially. During knitting, roller 1 rotates clockwise and selects each needle selection area in the knitting sequence, eliminating the need for roller 1 to rotate counterclockwise to change to the next needle selection area during the knitting process. This sequentially merges the needle selection areas for low-cut and regular gloves, enabling switching between the two types of gloves while maintaining efficiency. It's important to note that when knitting regular gloves, after completing the index finger area 5, roller 1 will continuously rotate, skipping the three-finger palm area 6 and the second little finger area 7, and rotating to the four-finger palm area 8 for needle selection. Similarly, when knitting low-cut gloves, the topmost little finger area 2 is skipped, starting from the ring finger area 3, and then roller 1 rotates sequentially.

[0030] It should be noted that the key feature of the needle selection roller 1 mentioned above is the addition of a little finger area for selecting needles when knitting low-cut gloves. The specific arrangement and length of the needle selection pins in each needle selection area are existing technologies and will not be described in detail.

[0031] Specifically, the first little finger area 2, ring finger area 3, middle finger area 4, index finger area 5, second little finger area 7, and thumb area 9 all include a needle selection pin group 100. The needle selection pin group 100 includes a sewing pin 101, a knitting pin group, and a transition pin 103. The sewing pin 101, knitting pin group, and transition pin 103 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom on the unfolded roller 1. The sewing pin 101 is used to select needles for sewing the fingertips. The knitting pin group is used for knitting the fingers. The transition pin 103 makes it easier for the hook knife to catch the thread and makes it easier for the thread to come loose at the shared needle points of the glove, preventing yarn snagging (existing technology). The knitting pin group includes at least one knitting pin 102. In this embodiment, there are five knitting pins 102. The curvature of the knitted finger can be changed by setting the length of each knitting pin 102. The lengths of the five knitting pins 102 are as follows: Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the bottommost braiding pin 102 is the longest, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail. It should be noted that the pins in the above-mentioned seam pin 101, braiding pin 102 and transition pin 103 each correspond to multiple needle selection pins, that is, they correspond to driving multiple needle plates.

[0032] Preferably, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, a dot pin 104 is added to the existing needle selection pin group 100. The dot pin 104 is formed by multiple short pins spaced apart. On the unfolded roller 1, the dot pin 104 is located between the seam pin 101 and the uppermost knitting pin 102, or between two knitting pins 102, for knitting half-finger gloves. Specifically, when the dot pin 104 is located between the seam pin 101 and the uppermost knitting pin 102, during half-finger glove knitting, in each needle selection area, the roller 1 will first skip the seam pin 101 and use the dot pin 104 as the first needle selection position, thus forming the open end of the finger. Then, the roller 1 will rotate and jump directly to the longest knitting pin at the bottom. At pin 102, the physical part of the finger is knitted. Finally, the transition pin 103 allows for changing to the next needle selection area. Specifically, when the knitting pin group includes at least two knitting pins 102, the dot pin 104 can be located between two adjacent knitting pins 102. When knitting a half-finger glove, in each needle selection area, roller 1 will first skip the seam pin 101 and the knitting pin 102 above it, using dot pin 104 as the first needle selection position to form the open end of the finger. Then, roller 1 will rotate directly to the longest knitting pin 102 at the bottom to knit the physical part of the finger. Finally, the transition pin 103 is used to select the needle and remove the thread, allowing for changing to the next needle selection area. It is important to note that in actual operation, the overall length of dot pin 104 should be consistent with the length of the longest knitting pin 102 to ensure a consistent width for the half-finger.

[0033] This utility model embodiment also provides a glove machine, including a frame and a front needle selection roller and a rear needle selection roller symmetrically arranged on the frame in a front-to-back direction, capable of bidirectional knitting needle selection. Specifically, both the front and rear needle selection rollers adopt the aforementioned needle selection roller 1, and both can switch between low-fork and flat-fork needle selection. It should be noted that both the front and rear needle selection rollers select needle selection rollers 1 having a first little finger area 2, ring finger area 3, middle finger area 4, index finger area 5, three-finger palm area 6, second little finger area 7, four-finger palm area 8, thumb area 9, and five-finger palm and welt area 10. The specific arrangement of the pins in the first little finger area 2, ring finger area 3, middle finger area 4, index finger area 5, three-finger palm area 6, second little finger area 7, four-finger palm area 8, thumb area 9, and five-finger palm and welt area 10 of each of the front and rear needle selection rollers can adopt existing technology to complete the knitting of gloves, which will not be described in detail here.

[0034] Specifically, in order to switch between low-fork and flat-fork glove knitting, the glove machine uses two fork blades 110 located on the frame, both front and rear, fork blades 110 used for knitting low-fork gloves. For example... Figure 4 As shown, both the left and right sides of the same fork 110 are provided with notches 111 for forking. The shape of these notches 111 can be specifically determined by... Figure 4 As shown, the notch 111 of the fork knife 110 used in the existing low-cut glove knitting is shown. Specifically, when knitting a flat-cut glove, since the little finger, ring finger, middle finger and index finger are knitted in sequence, the notch 111 on the left end of the fork knife 110 is sufficient for glove knitting. However, when knitting a low-cut glove, both the left and right notches 111 of the fork knife 110 are required. The left notch 111 is sufficient for knitting the ring finger, middle finger and index finger, and the right notch 111 is sufficient for knitting the little finger.

[0035] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
