Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of knitting needle production technology for computerized flat knitting machines, and more specifically to an improved multifunctional knitting needle. Background Technology

[0002] Computerized flat knitting machine needles are used to knit yarn into loops and connect the loops into fabric. They are an important component of computerized flat knitting machines for loop formation. They drive the needles on both sides to move through a triangular block to complete the knitting of the fabric.

[0003] According to the utility model patent application previously disclosed by the inventor, publication number CN217869379U, publication date 2022-11-22, an improved structure for a flat knitting needle is specifically disclosed, including a needle hook, a needle tongue, a needle shank, and a spring plate. The side wall of the needle shank has a groove, and the spring plate is located in the groove. The needle shank is composed of a needle bar and a needle body. The spring plate is composed of a first arc-shaped segment, a horizontal segment, a second arc-shaped segment, and a fixed segment from front to back. The head of the first arc-shaped segment, the horizontal segment, and the fixed segment are all attached to the bottom wall of the groove. The outermost bulge of the second arc-shaped segment is lower than the side wall surface of the needle shank. A cavity is formed between the first arc-shaped segment and the needle shank. The tail of the first arc-shaped segment has an outward protrusion along its own width direction. The bending line formed between the tail of the first arc-shaped segment and the head of the horizontal segment is inclined and parallel to the inclined direction of another needle inserted into the cavity. Its main technical effect is that there is only one real knitting cavity, which can minimize the height of the second arc segment bulge during the stitch turning and shifting process, effectively avoid friction between the spring sheet and the toothed sheet, and fully improve the service life of the spring sheet and the toothed sheet.

[0004] While existing knitting needles can drive the tabs of opposing needles to open during needle flipping, in some special cases, the tabs of opposing needles may fail to open. This can be addressed manually to ensure that the tabs of each needle can open. However, when adjusting these needles, workers need to consider the needle flipping position and the accuracy of the knitting process, making the adjustment difficult, especially for multi-system knitting. Therefore, an improved multi-functional knitting needle is proposed to solve the problem of occasional tab failure during knitting in existing knitting needles, which requires repeated adjustments and is very difficult to perform. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an improved multifunctional knitting needle, which aims to solve the problem in the prior art where the needle tab sometimes fails to open during the knitting process, requiring repeated adjustments that are difficult to make.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An improved multifunctional knitting needle includes a needle body with a mounting groove and a needle-turning spring. The needle-turning spring has a connecting bend that divides it into an arc-shaped segment and a flat segment. The needle-turning spring is riveted to the mounting groove via the flat segment. An abutment piece is provided in the mounting groove and positioned between the needle body and the needle-turning spring. The abutment piece drives the front end of the needle-turning spring to separate from the needle body, forming a needle-turning cavity. The needle-turning spring has a needle-turning protrusion.

[0008] Preferably, the flipping needle protrusion is bent and is inclined, forming an angle A between the flipping needle protrusion and the bottom edge of the flipping needle spring.

[0009] Preferably, the included angle A is 70°-88°.

[0010] Preferably, the included angle A is 95°-115°.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes an abutment protrusion, which is disposed on the abutment piece.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes an abutment protrusion, which is disposed on the needle body.

[0013] Preferably, the flip-pin spring is provided with a connecting bend, and the flip-pin spring is riveted to the mounting groove through the connecting bend. The flip-pin spring is located between the abutment piece and the mounting groove. The abutment piece is provided with an arc-shaped abutment part, and the arc-shaped abutment part abuts against the outer wall of the flip-pin spring.

[0014] Preferably, the end of the abutment piece is provided with an insertion part, and the insertion part is provided with an insertion groove. One end of the abutment piece is riveted to the mounting groove, and the other end is inserted into the flip-pin spring through the insertion part.

[0015] Preferably, the end of the abutment piece is provided with an insertion part, and the flip-pin spring is provided with an insertion groove. One end of the abutment piece is riveted to the mounting groove, and the other end is inserted into the insertion groove through the insertion part.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the improved multifunctional knitting needle provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This utility model, during needle flipping, allows the needle flipping protrusion on the needle flipping spring to abut against the needle tongue on the opposite needle body as the opposing needle body moves to one side, thereby driving the needle tongue to open. Furthermore, during the movement of the opposing needle body, the abutting piece abuts against the outer side of the opposing needle body, providing guidance for the opposing needle body. Simultaneously, the abutting piece prevents the needle flipping spring from adhering to the needle body during needle flipping, thus preventing the formation of a needle flipping cavity and ensuring sufficient space for needle flipping. Using the improved multi-functional needle provided by this utility model, needle flipping effectively ensures the smooth opening of the needle tongue of the opposing needle, reducing the adjustment effort for the operator. During knitting, it improves the accuracy of needle path positioning between opposing needles. The positioning effect of the abutting piece on the opposing needles slightly corrects knitting combination errors between the two opposing needles, preventing the needle flipping spring from being squeezed and deformed during knitting, making knitting easier.

[0039] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 — Figure 18 An improved multifunctional knitting needle includes a knitting needle body 1 and a needle-turning spring 2. The knitting needle body 1 has an installation groove 11. The needle-turning spring 2 has a connecting bend 21, which divides the needle-turning spring 2 into an arc-shaped segment 22 and a flat segment 23. The needle-turning spring 2 is riveted to the installation groove 11 through the flat segment 23. An abutment piece 3 is provided in the installation groove 11. The abutment piece 3 is located between the knitting needle body 1 and the needle-turning spring 2. The abutment piece 3 drives the front end of the needle-turning spring 2 to separate from the knitting needle body 1 to form a needle-turning cavity 4. The needle-turning spring 2 has a needle-turning protrusion 24.

[0041] Specifically, the needle body 1 is a conventional needle in the prior art. An installation groove 11 is provided on the outer wall of the needle body 1. One end of the needle flipping spring 2 is riveted to the installation groove 11 by a rivet. An abutment piece 3 is provided between the needle flipping spring 2 and the needle body 1. As the first embodiment of the abutment piece 3 provided by this utility model, the end of the abutment piece 3 is a planar structure, and the end of the abutment piece 3 is bent toward the needle flipping spring 2 and abuts against the needle flipping spring 2, so that a needle flipping cavity 4 is formed between the needle flipping spring 2 and the needle body 1 to accommodate the opposing needle body 1.

[0042] In this invention, during needle flipping, when the opposing needle body 1 moves to one side, the needle flipping protrusion 24 on the needle flipping spring 2 can abut against the needle tongue on the opposing needle body 1, thereby driving the needle tongue to open. Furthermore, during the movement of the opposing needle body 1, the abutting piece 3 can abut against the outer side of the opposing needle body 1, providing guidance for the opposing needle body 1. Simultaneously, the abutting piece 3 prevents the needle flipping spring 2 from sticking to the needle body 1 during needle flipping, forming a needle flipping cavity 4, which ensures... With a certain needle-turning space, the improved multi-functional needle provided in this embodiment of the invention can effectively ensure that the needle tongue of the opposite needle opens smoothly during needle turning, reducing the adjustment intensity of the adjustment personnel. Through the cooperation of the needle-turning protrusion 24 and the abutment piece 3, the positioning accuracy of the knitting needle path between the opposite needle and the needle on this side is improved during knitting. Through the positioning function of the abutment piece 3 on the opposite needle, the knitting combination error of the two opposite needles can be slightly corrected during knitting, avoiding the compression deformation of the needle-turning spring 2 during knitting, making knitting easier.

[0043] It can reduce the adjustment requirements of operators for different knitting needles and reduce the workload of adjustment. Only simple adjustment is needed to meet the requirements of dense knitting for turning needles.

[0044] As an embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 5As shown, the flipping needle protrusion 24 is specifically formed by bending. The flipping needle protrusion 24 is inclinedly set on the flipping needle spring 2, and an angle A is formed between the flipping needle protrusion 24 and the bottom of the flipping needle spring 2.

[0045] As a first embodiment of the needle-turning protrusion 24 provided by this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the included angle A is 70°-88°. In this embodiment, the needle flipping protrusion 24 is inclined towards the front end of the needle flipping spring 2. The needle tongue of the opposing needle body 1 first abuts against the end of the needle flipping protrusion 24 near the needle tongue of the needle body 1 on its own side. When flipping the needle, the end of the needle flipping protrusion 24 moves into the needle hook of the opposing needle body 1 and abuts against the needle tongue, driving it to open to meet the needle flipping requirements. At the same time, when the opposing needle body 1 abuts against the abutting piece 3, the abutting piece 3 can provide guidance for the opposing needle body 1.

[0046] As an embodiment provided by this utility model, the included angle A can be 70°, 80° or 88°.

[0047] As a second embodiment of the needle-turning protrusion 24 provided by this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the included angle A is 95°-115°. In this embodiment, the needle flipping protrusion 24 is inclined towards the rear end of the needle flipping spring 2. The needle tongue of the opposing needle body 1 first abuts against the end of the needle flipping protrusion 24 away from the needle tongue of the needle body 1 on its own side. When flipping the needle, one end of the needle flipping protrusion 24 moves into the needle hook of the opposing needle body 1 and abuts against the needle tongue, driving it to open to meet the needle flipping requirements. At the same time, when the opposing needle body 1 abuts against the abutting piece 3, the abutting piece 3 can provide guidance for the opposing needle body 1.

[0048] As an embodiment provided by this utility model, the included angle A can be 95°, 100° or 115°.

[0049] It should be noted that in the actual production process, the needle-turning protrusion 24 on the needle-turning spring 2 can be produced in either of the two embodiments described above, in order to ensure the needle-turning effect in the actual production process.

[0050] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figures 6-11 As shown, it also includes an abutment protrusion 5. Specifically, the abutment protrusion 5 has an arc-shaped structure. As the first embodiment of the abutment protrusion 5 provided by this utility model, as shown... Figure 6 As shown, the abutting protrusion 5 is provided on the needle body 1 and is positioned towards the needle flipping spring 2. The front end of the abutting piece 3 is bent towards the needle flipping spring 2 and abuts against the abutting protrusion 5. By abutting the front end of the abutting protrusion 5 against the needle flipping spring 2, the abutting piece 3 is guaranteed to have sufficient supporting force to abut against the needle flipping spring 2, thus ensuring the space of the needle flipping cavity 4 and ensuring successful needle flipping.

[0051] As a second embodiment of the abutting protrusion 5 provided by this utility model, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the abutting protrusion 5 is provided at the front end of the abutting piece 3 and the abutting protrusion 5 is set towards the needle body 1. The abutting piece 3 abuts against the outer wall of the needle body 1 through the abutting protrusion 5 provided on one side of its outer wall, and the front end of its other side of its outer wall abuts against the needle flipping spring 2 to ensure that the abutting piece 3 has sufficient supporting force to abut against the needle flipping spring 2, to ensure the space of the needle flipping cavity 4, and to ensure successful needle flipping.

[0052] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the needle-turning spring 2 is located between the abutment piece 3 and the mounting groove 11. In this embodiment, the length of the needle-turning spring 2 is less than that of the abutment piece 3. An arc-shaped abutment part 31 is provided on the abutment piece 3. One end of the abutment piece 3 is riveted to the mounting groove 11 of the knitting needle body 1, and the other end abuts against the outer wall of the needle-turning spring 2 through the arc-shaped abutment part 31.

[0053] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, an abutment position 311 is provided on the arc-shaped abutment part 31. The abutment position 311 of the arc-shaped abutment part 31 can abut against any position of the flat section 23 on the needle flipping spring 2. The actual abutment position 311 can be adjusted according to production needs to ensure the best needle flipping effect. The needle flipping spring 2 is pressed down a second time by the abutment position 311 to ensure that the flat section 23 of the needle flipping spring 2 can be tightly attached to the knitting needle body 1. It should be noted that the abutment position 311 of the arc-shaped abutment part 31 can be set at the connecting bend 21, thereby ensuring that the flat section 23 of the needle flipping spring 2 can be tightly attached to the knitting needle body 1, and the end of the arc-shaped section 22 can be close to the knitting needle body 1 to ensure the elasticity of the arc-shaped section 22.

[0054] As a second embodiment of the abutment piece 3 provided by this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, an insertion part 32 is provided at the end of the abutment piece 3, and an insertion groove 6 is provided on the insertion part 32. Preferably, the insertion groove 6 is provided along the width direction of the abutment piece 3. The insertion groove 6 can be inserted into the flip needle spring 2, so that the abutment piece 3 is located inside the flip needle spring 2 and abuts against the inner wall of the flip needle spring 2 to form a flip needle cavity 4.

[0055] The needle-turning spring 2 is connected to the insertion part 32 on the abutment piece 3, so that the arc-shaped section 22 and the flat section 23 of the needle-turning spring 2 are located on both sides of the insertion groove 6. The front end of the insertion groove 6 abuts against the inner wall of the needle-turning spring 2, which can ensure that there is a certain distance between the needle-turning spring 2 and the knitting needle body 1. The rear end of the insertion groove 6 abuts against the flat section 23 or the connecting bend 21, which is used to prevent the needle-turning spring 2 from being over-deformed during the needle-turning process, thus preventing the needle from turning.

[0056] As a third embodiment of the abutment piece 3 provided by this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the end of the abutment piece 3 is provided with an insertion part 32, and the insertion groove 6 is opened on the needle flipping spring 2. One end of the abutment piece 3 is riveted to the mounting groove 11, and the other end is inserted into the insertion groove 6 through the insertion part 32. That is, the insertion part 32 abuts against the inner wall of the needle flipping spring 2. Preferably, the insertion part 32 is roughly in the shape of a "V" shape. The bottom of the "V" shape abuts against the needle body 1, and the end of the "V" shape away from the abutment piece 3 abuts against the inner wall of the needle flipping spring 2.
