Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is a fabric rolling machine for a circular knitting machine with a cleaning function, belonging to the field of fabric rolling machines. Background Technology

[0002] The circular knitting machine is a specialized piece of machinery used to produce various knitted fabrics, and it holds an extremely important position in the textile industry.

[0003] Circular knitting machines primarily operate by using needles on a series of cylinders (or needle discs). These needles are arranged in a specific pattern and move up and down to form loops, which are then knitted into fabric. Based on different knitting methods, circular knitting machines can be broadly classified into single-jersey machines and double-jersey machines. Single-jersey machines are mainly used for knitting fabrics with simple structures such as plain weave; while double-jersey machines can knit fabrics with various complex structures such as rib knit and air-layered fabric.

[0004] The core components of the machine include: cylinder, needles, cam system, yarn creel, yarn feeding mechanism, and take-up / winding device. The cylinder is the main component that carries the needles, which are the key elements directly involved in the knitting process. The cam system controls the movement trajectory of the needles, ensuring they accurately complete each knitting motion. The yarn creel and yarn feeding mechanism ensure the yarn smoothly enters the knitting area, while the take-up / winding device smoothly pulls and winds the knitted fabric.

[0005] The fabric winding machine used in circular knitting machines is used to wind up the fabric output from the circular knitting machine.

[0006] When the existing circular knitting machine is winding up, the output fabric is prone to having yarn lint attached. In order to prevent it from affecting the winding operation, a separate cleaning device is often required outside the winding machine, which takes up a lot of space. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a fabric winding machine for a circular knitting machine with a cleaning function, so as to solve the problem that the fabric output by the existing fabric winding machine for the circular knitting machine is prone to the adhesion of yarn lint during winding. In order to prevent the fabric winding operation from being affected, a separate cleaning device is often required outside the fabric winding machine, which takes up a lot of space.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a fabric winding machine for a circular knitting machine with a cleaning function, the structure of which includes a base, a turntable, a fabric winding machine body, and a fabric cleaning and positioning mechanism; the turntable is rotatably located at the center of the top surface of the base; the fabric winding machine body is located on the upper end surface of the turntable; the fabric cleaning and positioning mechanism is detachably located at any point on the periphery of the base, and the position of the fabric cleaning and positioning mechanism is set according to the model, location, and size of the circular knitting machine to facilitate accurate output and positioning of the fabric;

[0009] The base is equipped with a main shaft motor that drives the turntable to rotate, which allows the rotation position of the fabric rolling machine body on the turntable to be adjusted, making it convenient for operators to operate.

[0010] The fabric cleaning and positioning mechanism includes a positioning frame with a fabric channel. One end of the fabric channel protrudes from the top surface of the positioning frame to form a fabric inlet, and the other end protrudes from the positioning frame towards the fabric rolling machine body to form a fabric outlet. A rotating groove is provided on both inner walls of the upper part of the fabric channel, and a cleaning disc is rotatably mounted within the rotating groove. Several brush strips are horizontally mounted on the corresponding end faces of the two cleaning discs. A motor driving the cleaning discs to rotate is located within the positioning frame. A lint-collecting channel is vertically positioned below the middle section of the fabric channel. A recycling trough connected to the lint-collecting channel is located at the bottom rear of the positioning frame. An upward-opening recycling frame slides within the recycling trough to collect yarn lint from the fabric. The recycling frame is then removed and cleaned by staff, making it relatively environmentally friendly.

[0011] Furthermore, for ease of control, the outer wall of the base is equipped with a control panel for controlling the fabric rolling machine body, the main shaft motor, and the operation of the motor.

[0012] Furthermore, to facilitate material feeding, the lower part of the fabric channel has an inclined structure.

[0013] Furthermore, to enhance the strength of the connection, the cleaning disc and the brush strip are integrally molded.

[0014] Furthermore, to prevent fabric wear, the brush strip is made of rubber.

[0015] Furthermore, to facilitate the removal of the recycling bin, a handle is provided at the rear end of the recycling bin.

[0016] Furthermore, to improve the stability of the connection, the positioning frame and the base are connected by one of the following methods: snap-fit ​​or bolt fixing.

[0017] Furthermore, to prevent rust and corrosion, the recycling frame is made of stainless steel.

[0018] Furthermore, to prevent fabric from entering, a positioning mesh plate is provided at the inlet of the chip removal channel.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] The fabric cleaning and positioning mechanism, combined with the fabric rolling machine, not only transports and positions the fabric but also cleans the yarn lint on the fabric surface. This reduces the space required and improves the convenience of operation for staff. The knitted fabric is fed into the fabric inlet on the fabric channel. The front and rear ends of the fabric pass through two cleaning discs on both sides of the inner wall. Driven by the motor, the cleaning discs drive the brush strips to clean the fabric, and the yarn lint falls into the recycling box below during the process. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The positioning frame 51 is provided with a fabric channel 52. One end of the fabric channel 52 protrudes from the top surface of the positioning frame 51 to form a fabric inlet, and the other end protrudes from the end face of the positioning frame 51 facing the fabric rolling machine body 3 to form a fabric outlet. The upper two inner walls of the fabric channel 52 are provided with a rotating groove 53. A cleaning disc 54 is rotatably installed in the rotating groove 53. Several brush strips 55 are horizontally installed on the corresponding end faces of the two cleaning discs 54. The positioning frame 51 is provided with a motor 56 to drive the cleaning discs 54 to rotate. A lint removal channel 57 is vertically provided below the middle section of the fabric channel 52. A recycling trough 58 connected to the lint removal channel 57 is provided at the bottom rear of the positioning frame 51. A recycling frame 59 with an upward opening is slidably installed in the recycling trough 58 to collect yarn lint from the fabric. The recycling frame is then removed and cleaned by the staff, which is relatively environmentally friendly.

[0036] For ease of control, the outer wall of the base 1 is equipped with a control panel for controlling the operation of the fabric rolling machine body 3, the main shaft motor 4, and the motor 56.
