Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sock machine needle technology, and in particular to an automatic cleaning device for sock machine needles. Background Technology

[0002] In the textile industry, sock knitting machines are the core equipment in sock production, and their operational stability and cleanliness directly affect product quality. The needle grooves of the sock knitting machine cylinder are the key tracks for the movement of the needles during the knitting process. After long-term use, they are prone to accumulating debris such as lint, yarn scraps, and oil stains. With the continuous improvement of sock quality requirements in the modern textile industry, cylinder cleaning has become an important link in ensuring production efficiency and product qualification rate.

[0003] Existing sock machine needle cleaning methods typically rely on manual cleaning. Operators need to wear magnifying glasses and other auxiliary tools, hold long, thin brushes or hooks, visually inspect the debris in the positioning needle grooves, and then use the physical scraping and picking motions of the tools to remove residual lint, debris and other impurities one by one.

[0004] However, existing sock machine needle cleaning methods, which mainly rely on manual cleaning, generally have the problem of failing to completely remove residual impurities from the needle groove, leading to needle jamming and a decline in sock knitting quality. During manual cleaning, it is difficult to accurately identify tiny debris at the bottom and corners of the needle groove with the naked eye. In addition, the size of the brush and hook is limited by the structure of the needle groove, making it difficult to remove stubborn impurities such as deep-seated lint and sticky oil stains. Therefore, an automatic sock machine needle cleaning device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an automatic cleaning device for sock knitting machine cylinders, which aims to improve the problem in the prior art that it is difficult to completely remove residual impurities in the needle groove, resulting in needle jamming and a decline in the quality of sock knitting.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic cleaning device for sock machine syringes includes a support base and a syringe body. The syringe body has a needle groove inside. A support frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support base. A slide rail is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame. A sliding block is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail. An electric push rod is fixedly connected to the top of the support base. The output end of the electric push rod is connected to the sliding block. A support rod is provided on one side of the sliding block. A cleaning component is provided at one end of the support rod. A fixing component is provided on one side of the sliding block.

[0008] The cleaning component includes a cleaning ring, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to one end of the support rod, the inner wall of which is in contact with the outer wall of the cylinder, and a plurality of cleaning brushes are provided on the inner wall of the cleaning ring. The plurality of cleaning brushes are evenly distributed in a ring array on the inner wall of the cleaning ring, and the cleaning brushes are slidably connected inside the needle groove.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The fixing component includes a cleaning brush and a clamping block. One side of the cleaning brush is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding block, and the clamping block is slidably connected inside the cleaning brush.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The cleaning brush has a sliding column inside, and the top of the support base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping block.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The top of the clamping block is provided with an anti-slip block, which is in contact with the support rod.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] A spring is fitted on the outer wall of the sliding column, and the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the inside of the cleaning brush and the clamping block, respectively.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The cleaning brush has a hollow groove inside, and the support rod is slidably connected inside the hollow groove.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] A retaining ring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding column, and a pull ring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the retaining ring.

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. In this utility model, the sliding block is driven by an electric push rod to make linear reciprocating motion along the slide rail, which drives the cleaning ring and the internal cleaning brush to slide synchronously in the needle groove. These structures work together to achieve the effect of continuous frictional contact between the cleaning brush and the inner wall of the needle groove, and deep cleaning of debris. This solves the problem of difficulty in completely removing residual impurities in the needle groove, which leads to needle jamming and reduced sock knitting quality, thereby improving the service life of the sock machine cylinder.

[0023] 2. In this utility model, by pulling the bottom retaining ring of the sliding column, the sliding column is moved downward, causing the clamping block to compress the spring and disengage from the support rod. Then, the support rod is rotated to achieve disassembly. During installation, the support rod squeezes the clamping block, and the spring force resets and locks the support rod. These structures work together to achieve the effect of quick disassembly and assembly of the cleaning components, solving the problems of complex fixing and long maintenance time of traditional cleaning devices, thereby improving the maintenance convenience of the cleaning device.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-4An embodiment of this utility model provides an automatic cleaning device for sock machine cylinders, including a support base 1 and a cylinder 2. The cylinder 2 has a needle groove 3 inside. A support frame 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support base 1. A slide rail 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 4. A sliding block 6 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail 5. The function of the slide rail 5 is to provide a stable guide path so that the sliding block 6 can move smoothly in a straight line. An electric push rod 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the support base 1. The output end of the electric push rod 7 is connected to the sliding block 6. It is responsible for pushing the cleaning component to slide and clean in the needle groove 3 of the cylinder 2 through the connection between the output end and the sliding block 6. A support rod 8 is provided on one side of the sliding block 6. A cleaning component is provided at one end of the support rod 8. A fixing component is provided on one side of the sliding block 6.

[0033] The cleaning assembly includes a cleaning ring 9, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to one end of a support rod 8. The inner wall of the cleaning ring 9 is in contact with the outer wall of the cylinder 2. Multiple cleaning brushes 10 are provided on the inner wall of the cleaning ring 9. The multiple cleaning brushes 10 are evenly distributed in a ring array on the inner wall of the cleaning ring 9, ensuring that the cleaning brushes 10 can cover more areas on the outer wall of the cylinder 2, improving the uniformity and efficiency of cleaning. The cleaning brushes 10 are slidably connected inside the needle groove 3. The cleaning brushes 10 are made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity, which can effectively remove dirt from the outer wall of the cylinder 2 without damaging the cylinder 2.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The fixing components include a cleaning brush 10 and a clamping block 12. One side of the cleaning brush 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding block 6. The clamping block 12 is slidably connected inside the cleaning brush 10. A sliding column 11 is slidably connected inside the cleaning brush 10. The top of the support base 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping block 12. An anti-slip block 13 is provided on the top of the clamping block 12. The anti-slip block 13 is in contact with the support rod 8. A spring 14 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding column 11. The two ends of the spring 14 are fixedly connected to the inside of the cleaning brush 10 and the clamping block 12, respectively. The spring 14 pushes the clamping block 12 upward through the reverse elastic force, thereby realizing a stable connection between the clamping block 12 and the support rod 8. A slot 15 is opened inside the cleaning brush 10. The support rod 8 is slidably connected inside the slot 15. A retaining ring 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding column 11. A pull ring 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the retaining ring 16. The design of the retaining ring 16 ensures that the sliding column 11 can move freely within a certain range and will not loosen or fall off accidentally during disassembly.

[0035] Working principle: When using the automatic cleaning device for sock knitting cylinders, first start the electric push rod 7, which pushes the sliding block 6 to move linearly back and forth along the slide rail 5 on one side of the support frame 4. When the sliding block 6 moves under the drive of the electric push rod 7, it will drive the cleaning ring 9 to move synchronously. The cleaning brush 10 inside the cleaning ring 9 slides in the needle groove 3 of the cylinder 2. The cleaning brush 10 rubs against the inner wall of the needle groove 3, which can gradually sweep out the residual lint, debris and other debris in the needle groove 3, thereby cleaning the cylinder and avoiding the impact of debris jamming on the knitting quality of socks.

[0036] When it is necessary to disassemble or replace the cleaning component, pull the retaining ring 16 at the bottom of the slide column 11 to move the slide column 11 down. The clamping block 12 compresses the spring 14 and disengages from the support rod 8. Then rotate the support rod 8 to slide it out of the slot 15 to complete the disassembly. When installing the support rod 8, slide it into the slot 15 of the cleaning brush 10. The support rod 8 presses the anti-slip block 13 on the top of the clamping block 12, causing the clamping block 12 to compress the spring 14 and slide down. When the support rod 8 is in place, the spring 14 pushes the clamping block 12 up. The anti-slip block 13 fits tightly with the support rod 8. With the structure of the slide column 11 and the clamping block 12, the support rod 8 is firmly locked, ensuring a stable connection between the cleaning ring 9 and the sliding block 6. This achieves the effect of facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the cleaning component.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
