Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of knitting machines, specifically a lint removal device for knitting machines. Background Technology
[0002] Knitting machine: A machine for knitting "knitted fabrics". In 1589, William Lee, an English clergyman, invented the first hand-cranked knitting machine. In the 1870s, with the invention of the electric motor, the hand-cranked knitting machine was replaced by the high-speed electric knitting machine. There are many types of knitting machines, including flat knitting machines, circular knitting machines and others, which are suitable for different processing techniques.
[0003] In the existing technology, when the color changer and the knitting parts are knitting during actual operation of the knitting machine, a large amount of lint will be generated due to the friction between the yarns. This lint will then float in the air and adhere to the circular knitting machine, which can easily affect the normal operation of the circular knitting machine. Furthermore, the workers can suffer health problems if they inhale the lint while working.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a lint removal device for knitting machines. Utility Model Content

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a lint removal device for a knitting machine includes a first gear 1; a set of fixed columns 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the first gear 1; circular grooves 3 are provided at the top and bottom of the first gear 1; sliders 4 are slidably connected in the pair of circular grooves 3; a rotating component is provided inside the sliders 4; a large circular knitting machine body 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the first gear 1; an absorbent component is provided at the top of the sliders 4. During operation, the first gear 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the large circular knitting machine body 5, and the first gear 1 has circular grooves 3 and sliders slidably connected to it. The rotating component drives the sliders 4 to rotate around the large circular knitting machine body, and the rotating component drives the absorbent component to absorb lint around the large circular knitting machine body 5. The absorbent component absorbs the lint attached to the large circular knitting machine body 5.
[0023] The absorber includes a fixing plate 6; the fixing plate 6 is fixed to the top of the slider 4; a placement ring 7 is fixed to the top of the fixing plate 6; a collection bucket 8 is placed inside the placement ring 7, and the collection bucket 8 contains water; a fixing rod 9 is fixed to the top of the fixing plate 6; a lint-removing hopper 10 is fixed to the top of the fixing rod 9; a lint-removing fan 11 is installed inside the lint-removing hopper 10; a connecting pipe 12 is fixed to one end of the lint-removing fan 11, and the connecting pipe 12 extends into the collection bucket 8. During operation, the lint is fixed to the top of the slider 4 by the fixing plate 6, and the slider 4 is rotated by the rotating block inside the slider 4, which in turn rotates the fixing plate 6. At the same time, the lint-removing hopper 10 rotates around the large circular machine body 5 to absorb the lint. The lint is then absorbed into the collection bucket 8 through the connecting pipe 12. The water in the collection bucket 8 wets the lint, preventing it from floating.
[0024] The rotating component includes a second gear 13; the second gear 13 is rotatably connected between opposite side walls of the slider 4 via a first rotating rod 14, and the first rotating rod 14 passes through the slider 4; the second gear 13 meshes with one side of the first gear 1; a motor 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 4 via a pair of L-shaped rods 15; the output end of the motor 16 is driven and connected to the first rotating rod 14. During operation, the first motor 16 drives the first rotating rod 14 to rotate, thereby the first rotating rod 14 drives the second gear 13 to transmit power. The second gear 13 is positioned between the sliders 4, and by rotating itself around the meshing first gear 1, it drives the absorbent to absorb lint.
[0025] A cleaning plate 17 is fixedly attached to the top of the slider 4; a brush 18 is fixedly attached to the cleaning plate 17 near the side of the large circular machine body 5. During operation, the cleaning plate 17 and the brush 18 are used to clean the lint attached to the holes on the large circular machine body 5, which allows the absorbent to absorb better.
[0026] The bottom of the fixed column 2 is equipped with a rubber pad. During operation, the rubber pad at the bottom of the fixed column 2 can reduce the vibration of the entire equipment.
[0027] The brush 18 is a soft brush. During operation, the soft brush 18 can clean the lint attached to the body 5 of the large circular knitting machine, and can allow the soft brush 18 to enter the holes on the body 5 of the large circular knitting machine.
[0028] Working principle: A first gear 1 is fixed to the bottom of the large circular knitting machine body 5. A circular groove 3 is provided on the first gear 1, and a slider 4 is slidably connected to it. A rotating component drives the slider 4 to rotate around the large circular knitting machine body 5, which in turn drives the absorption component to absorb the lint adhering to the machine body 5. The absorption component absorbs the lint attached to the machine body 5. A fixing plate 6 is fixed to the top of the machine. The internal rotating block of the slider 4 drives the slider 4 to rotate, simultaneously driving the fixing plate 6 to rotate, and also causing the lint discharge hopper 10 to rotate around the machine body 5, absorbing the lint. The lint is then collected into a collection bucket 8 through a connecting pipe 12. The collection bucket 8 contains water, which wets the lint, preventing it from falling off. The first motor 16 drives the first rotating rod 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 13. The second gear 13 is positioned between the sliders 4. By rotating itself around the meshing first gear 1, it drives the absorber to clean the lint. The cleaning plate 17 and the brush 18 clean the lint attached to the holes on the large circular machine body 5, allowing the absorber to absorb better. The bottom of the fixed column 2 is equipped with a rubber pad, which can reduce the vibration of the entire equipment. The soft brush 18 can clean the lint attached to the large circular machine body 5 and can enter the holes on the large circular machine body 5.
