Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of knitting equipment technology, specifically a quick yarn change device for a circular knitting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Circular knitting machines, also known as circular weft knitting machines, have seen rapid development due to their numerous loop-forming systems, high speed, high output, rapid pattern changes, good fabric quality, fewer processes, and strong product adaptability. In knitting production, the yarn feeder is indispensable, mainly providing yarn to the circular knitting machine to ensure its normal spinning production. The yarn feeder, as the basic component of yarn transport, directly affects production efficiency and fabric quality.
[0003] Currently, most mainstream pay-off devices use a yarn drum attached to the outer wall of the pay-off roller and fix it with bolts, clips, or other means. The drum is replaced when the yarn on it is exhausted. However, when the yarn is used up and the drum needs to be replaced, the disassembly of the fixing parts takes a long time, which significantly increases the downtime of the circular knitting machine and seriously affects the continuity of production.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Example 1, by Figure 1 The present invention relates to a quick yarn changing device for a circular knitting machine, comprising a mounting plate 1, a changing mechanism 2 on the outer side of the mounting plate 1, and a limiting mechanism 3 on the changing mechanism 2.
[0025] Specifically, by Figure 2-4The replacement mechanism 2 includes a turntable 201 located outside the mounting plate 1. A drive shaft 203 is fixedly connected to the side of the turntable 201 near the mounting plate 1. A drive motor 204 is fixedly connected to the end of the drive shaft 203 away from the turntable 201. The drive motor 204 is fixed to the mounting plate 1. Multiple support columns 206 are fixedly connected to the turntable 201 at equal angles. A side shaft 209 is rotatably connected to the end of the support column 206 away from the mounting plate 1. A mounting plate 207 and a sleeve block 2018 are fixedly sleeved on the outside of the side shaft 209. The sleeve block 2018 is fixed to the side of the mounting plate 207 away from the support column 206. A cable reel 208 is movably sleeved on the outside of the side shaft 209. The cable reel 208 abuts against the sleeve block 2018. A positioning groove 2012 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 207 near the cable reel 208. A positioning block 2010 is fixedly connected to one side of 07. The positioning block 2010 is inserted into the positioning groove 2012. A ball bearing 205 is provided at the end of the support column 206 away from the side shaft 209. An installation ring 202 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate 1 near the turntable 201. The ball bearing 205 abuts against the installation ring 202. A screw 2015 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the sleeve block 2018. A handwheel 2014 is fixedly connected to the end of the screw 2015 away from the sleeve block 2018. A screw sleeve 2017 is threaded onto the outer side of the screw 2015. An insertion rod 2013 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the screw sleeve 2017. A sliding groove 2016 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 207 near the winding drum 208. The screw sleeve 2017 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 2016. An insertion hole 2011 is provided on the outer side of the positioning block 2010. The insertion rod 2013 is inserted into the insertion hole 2011.
[0026] In use, the drive motor 204 is first started, which drives the drive shaft 203 to rotate and the turntable 201 to rotate. At the same time, each support column 206 rotates circumferentially, and each ball bearing 205 rolls on the mounting ring 202 to ensure the stability of the turntable 201 during rotation. This also drives each cable reel 208 to rotate circumferentially, allowing for the switching of used or unused cable reels 208. When the handwheel 2014 is rotated, the screw 2015 rotates, causing the screw sleeve 2017 to slide along the slide groove 2016. Simultaneously, the insertion rod 2013 moves until it disengages from the insertion hole 2011, allowing the cable reel 208 to be disassembled. When the handwheel 2014 is rotated again to insert the insertion rod 2013 into the insertion hole 2011, the cable reel 208 can be fixed in place. Finally, the cable reel 208 can be quickly replaced.
[0027] Specifically, by Figure 5The limiting mechanism 3 includes a side block 301 fixed to the side of the mounting ring 202 away from the mounting plate 1. An L-shaped rod 302 is fixedly connected between the side block 301 and the mounting ring 202. A slider 305 is movably sleeved on the outside of the L-shaped rod 302. A cylinder 306 is fixedly installed between the slider 305 and the side block 301. An abutment plate 304 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 305. The abutment plate 304 abuts against one of the support columns 206. An abutment ring 303 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the L-shaped rod 302. The side of the slider 305 away from the side block 301 abuts against the abutment ring 303.
[0028] In operation, the cylinder 306 is first activated, which drives the slider 305 to slide along the L-shaped rod 302 and moves the abutment plate 304 until the slider 305 abuts against the abutment ring 303. When the turntable 201 rotates, it drives each support column 206 to rotate circumferentially, so that the corresponding support column 206 abuts against the abutment plate 304, thereby controlling the rotation angle of the turntable 201, and finally causing the required winding drum 208 to rotate to the required position.
