Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of horizontal knitting machines, and in particular to a fully formed knitting needle that can accurately flip needles. Background Technology

[0002] Knitting needles are essential tools used in textile and knitting processes, whether by hand or using knitting machines. Depending on the knitting method and technique, the shape, size, and design of knitting needles vary. They are primarily used to interweave yarns or fibers in a specific way to form fabric.

[0003] In textile craftsmanship, especially in hand or machine knitting, "stitch turning" is a fundamental technique. It involves transferring a loop from one needle to another, or repositioning a loop on the same needle, to create specific patterns, textures, or structural variations. Stitch turning is crucial for creating complex patterns and adjusting the elasticity and appearance of fabrics. Traditionally, stitch turning is controlled by cams; by adjusting the position and shape of the cams, the movement of the needles can be precisely controlled, thus achieving complex patterns and structural changes.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, when the weaving speed increases, traditional triangular needles cannot achieve precise control over the needle turning position. The needle tongue often fails to open during needle turning, resulting in missed needle turning during the knitting process and increasing the scrap rate. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a fully formed knitting needle that can accurately turn needles to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to reduce the scrap rate of textile products, this utility model provides a fully formed knitting needle that can accurately turn the needle.

[0006] This utility model provides a fully formed knitting needle with precise needle flipping, using the following technical solution:

[0007] A fully formed knitting needle capable of precise needle flipping includes a needle bar and a needle tip connected to one end of the needle bar. The needle bar is characterized by having a spring plate installed on it to facilitate positioning the needle flipping position. The spring plate has a first groove and a second groove, with the second groove located at the end of the spring plate near the needle tip. The angle of the second groove is obtuse to the angle between it and the needle bar, while the angle of the first groove is acute to the angle between it and the needle bar.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when a needle flipping is required, another needle moves onto the spring plate, and the second groove opens the needle tongue of the other needle, allowing the needle head to move to the position of the first groove. The first groove positions the needle head to prevent it from moving, thus achieving precise needle flipping. The second groove opens the needle tongue and can also gather the yarn, thereby making the loop smaller and improving the knitting tightness. Furthermore, the setting of the first and second grooves further increases the support force of the spring plate.

[0009] Optionally, the needle tip is also provided with a needle tongue on one side to control the release and retention of the yarn. When the needle tip hooks the yarn, the needle tongue closes; when a new loop needs to be formed, the needle tongue opens.

[0010] By employing the above technical solution, the needle hook is located at the top of the knitting needle and is hook-shaped, making it easy to grasp the yarn and guide it to the correct position to form a new loop. When the needle hook grasps the yarn and begins to form a new loop, the needle latch temporarily closes to prevent the yarn from slipping, ensuring that the yarn remains firmly on the needle hook until the necessary knitting action is completed. Once a new loop is formed, the needle latch opens again to make room for the next operation, which helps to improve the stability of the yarn during the knitting process.

[0011] Optionally, the spring sheet has a space between the end near the needle tip and the needle bar to allow for the formation of a new coil when the needle is turned.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the knitting needle performs a turn-over action, the needle hook needs to accurately grasp the yarn and form a new loop. If there is insufficient space for movement between the spring plate and the needle bar, it may restrict the movement of the needle hook, affecting its efficiency and accuracy in grasping the yarn. Allowing space for movement increases the flexibility of the needle hook operation, enabling it to more freely perform the actions of grasping and releasing the yarn. Furthermore, in the process of forming a new loop, the needle hook needs to first grasp the yarn and then complete the loop formation by moving up and down. During this process, the spring plate provides the necessary elasticity and restoring force, allowing the needle hook to perform the action accurately at the correct time. The sufficient space for movement helps the spring plate better fulfill its function, thereby helping the needle hook smoothly complete the process of forming a new loop.

[0013] Optionally, the needle bar is provided with an installation groove and a placement groove. The placement groove is located at the end of the needle bar near the needle tip, and the installation groove is located at the end of the needle bar away from the needle tip. The end of the spring sheet away from the needle tip is engaged with the installation groove of the needle bar, and the other end is in contact with the installation groove.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the spring sheet is reliably fixed by opening the mounting groove, which prevents it from loosening during operation. One end of the spring sheet is fixed and the other end is movable, which can provide stable elasticity to control the movement of the needle hook or needle tongue. The rebound performance of the spring sheet helps the needle hook or needle tongue to reset at the correct time, improving the knitting accuracy.

[0015] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] 1. By setting up the needle bar, needle, spring plate, groove one and groove two, when a needle flip is required, another needle moves onto the spring plate, groove two opens the needle tongue of the other needle, and the needle moves to the position of groove one. Groove one positions the needle to prevent it from moving, thus achieving precise needle flip. Groove two opens the needle tongue and can also gather the yarn, thereby making the loop smaller and improving the knitting tightness. Furthermore, the setting of groove one and groove two further increases the support force of the spring plate.

[0017] 2. The spring sheet is reliably fixed by opening the mounting slot, which prevents it from loosening during operation. One end of the spring sheet is fixed and the other end is movable, which can provide stable elasticity to control the movement of the needle hook or needle tongue. The rebound performance of the spring sheet helps the needle hook or needle tongue to reset at the correct time, improving the knitting accuracy. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.

[0022] This utility model discloses a fully formed knitting needle that can accurately flip needles.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A fully formed knitting needle capable of precise needle turning includes a knitting section 1 and a stabilizing section 2. The knitting section 1 realizes the knitting of the yarn, and the stabilizing section 2 ensures the stability of subsequent needle turning.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The knitting part 1 includes a needle bar 11 and a needle head 12. The needle head 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the needle bar 11. A needle tongue 13 is also provided on one side of the needle head 12 to control the release and retention of the yarn. When the needle head 12 hooks the yarn, the needle tongue 13 closes; when a new loop needs to be formed, the needle tongue 13 opens.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The needle hook, located at the top of the knitting needle, is hook-shaped and facilitates the gripping of the yarn and its guidance to the correct position for forming a new loop. When the needle hook grips the yarn and begins to form a new loop, the needle latch 13 temporarily closes to prevent the yarn from slipping, ensuring the yarn remains securely on the needle hook until the necessary knitting action is completed. Once a new loop is formed, the needle latch 13 reopens to make room for the next operation, which helps improve the stability of the yarn during the knitting process.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The stabilizing part 2 includes a spring plate 21. The needle bar 11 has an installation groove 22 and a placement groove 23. The placement groove 23 is located at the end of the needle bar 11 near the needle tip 12, and the installation groove 22 is located at the end of the needle bar 11 away from the needle tip 12. The end of the spring plate 21 away from the needle tip 12 is engaged with the installation groove 22 of the needle bar 11, and the other end is in contact with the installation groove 22. The spring plate 21 has a first groove 24 and a second groove 25. The second groove 25 is located at the end of the spring plate 21 near the needle tip 12. The opening angle of the second groove 25 is an obtuse angle with the angle of the needle bar 11, and the opening angle of the first groove 24 is an acute angle with the angle of the needle bar 11.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The spring plate 21 is reliably fixed by the installation groove 22, preventing it from loosening during operation. The spring plate 21 is fixed at one end and movable at the other, providing stable elasticity to control the movement of the needle hook or needle tongue 13. The rebound performance of the spring plate 21 helps the needle hook or needle tongue 13 to reset at the correct time, improving the knitting accuracy. When a needle flip is required, another needle moves onto the spring plate 21, and the second groove 25 opens the needle tongue 13 of the other needle. The needle head 12 moves to the position of the first groove 24. The first groove 24 positions the needle head 12 to prevent it from moving, achieving precise needle flipping. The second groove 25 opens the needle tongue 13 and can also gather the yarn, thereby making the loop smaller and improving the knitting tightness. Furthermore, the setting of the first groove 24 and the second groove 25 further increases the support force of the spring plate 21.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A space 26 is provided between the end of the spring plate 21 near the needle tip 12 and the needle bar 11 to allow for the formation of new loops during needle flipping. When the knitting needle flips, the needle hook needs to accurately grasp the yarn and form new loops. If there is no adequate space 26 between the spring plate 21 and the needle bar 11, it may restrict the movement of the needle hook, affecting its efficiency and accuracy in grasping the yarn. The space 26 increases the flexibility of the needle hook operation, allowing it to more freely perform the actions of grasping and releasing the yarn. During the formation of a new loop, the needle hook needs to first grasp the yarn and then move up and down to complete the loop formation. In this process, the role of the spring plate 21 is to provide the necessary elasticity and restoring force, enabling the needle hook to perform the action accurately at the right time. The provided space 26 helps the spring plate 21 to better perform its function, thereby helping the needle hook to smoothly complete the process of forming new loops.

[0029] The implementation principle of a fully formed knitting needle with precise needle flipping in this embodiment of the present invention is as follows: when needle flipping is required, another knitting needle is moved to the needle flipping position, the second groove 25 will open the needle tongue 13 of the other needle, and the first groove 24 will position the needle head 12, which helps to ensure the accuracy of the needle flipping position and improve the yield.

[0030] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
