Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of circular knitting machines, specifically a circular knitting machine with an automatic lubrication mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The circular knitting machine, also known as a circular weft knitting machine, is an important production equipment in the textile industry. It consists of a frame, transmission system, and cylinder assembly, and features high output, low noise, and a high safety factor. It knits fabrics through circular motion, enabling the creation of complex patterns and textures to meet diverse product needs. It comes in two types: single-jersey and double-jersey. Single-jersey circular knitting machines are suitable for producing simple knitwear, while double-jersey machines can produce more complex and structurally diverse products. Its applications are wide-ranging, playing a crucial role in the production of various textiles, from knitwear, shirts, and underwear to outerwear. It is also widely used in the production of highly elastic knitted outerwear, underwear, and sportswear, resulting in products that combine comfort, fit, style, and versatility.

[0003] An existing patent (publication number: CN220202157U) describes a circular knitting machine that can reduce the impact of a swaying protective door on workers handling fabrics. However, this circular knitting machine usually requires manual application of lubricating oil to the main shaft when needed. Relying on manual lubrication is prone to oversights, leading to increased wear on the main shaft and equipment damage, resulting in poor performance. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a circular knitting machine with an automatic lubrication mechanism, which effectively solves the problem that existing circular knitting machines usually require manual spraying of lubricating oil on the main shaft when needed. However, relying on manual lubrication is prone to omissions, which leads to increased wear of the main shaft, damage to the equipment, and poor performance.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a circular knitting machine with an automatic lubrication mechanism, comprising a main body of the circular knitting machine, a main shaft fixedly installed at the output end of the main body, a needle plate fixedly installed at the top of the main shaft, an arc-shaped rack fixedly installed on the surface of the main shaft, an oil storage tank fixedly installed on one side of the top of the main body of the circular knitting machine, a feed cylinder fixedly installed at the lower part of one side of the oil storage tank, an oil outlet fixedly installed at the lower part of the circumferential surface of the feed cylinder, a feed plate rotatably installed inside the feed cylinder, a plurality of feed grooves being formed on the circumferential surface of the feed plate, a transmission component being provided on one side of the arc-shaped rack, the transmission component being connected to the feed plate for transmission, and when the arc-shaped rack rotates, the power is output to the feed plate through the transmission component, causing the feed plate to rotate and release lubricating oil to achieve self-lubrication.

[0006] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a first gear, which is meshed with one side of an arc-shaped rack. The top of the first gear is rotatably connected to one side of an oil tank via a positioning bracket. A driving bevel gear is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first gear. A driven bevel gear is meshed with one side of the surface of the driving bevel gear. A shaft is fixedly installed on one side of the driven bevel gear. A bushing is rotatably installed on the surface of the shaft. One side of the bushing is fixedly connected to one side of the oil tank.

[0007] Preferably, a turntable is fixedly installed at one end of the shaft, a pin is rotatably installed on the upper part of one side of the turntable, a hollow strip is sleeved on the surface of the pin, a transmission rack is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom of the hollow strip, a second gear is meshed on one side of the lower end of the transmission rack, a rotating shaft is fixedly installed on one side of the second gear, the surface of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the middle of one side of the feed cylinder through a sealed bearing, and one end of the rotating shaft extends into the interior of the feed cylinder and is fixedly connected to the feed plate.

[0008] Preferably, both ends of the hollow strip are fixedly installed with sliding sleeves, and sliding rods are inserted inside the two sliding sleeves. The bottom ends of the two sliding rods are fixedly connected to the top of the main body of the circular knitting machine.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: when the main body of the circular knitting machine is running, the needle plate is rotated by the main shaft for processing; while the main shaft is rotating, the arc rack intermittently drives the first gear to rotate along the positioning frame; when the first gear rotates, the driven bevel gear is driven to rotate by the active bevel gear; when the driven bevel gear rotates, the shaft is driven to rotate inside the bushing; when the shaft rotates, the pin is driven to rotate by the turntable.

[0010] When the pin rotates, the rotational motion is converted into horizontal motion through the cooperation of the hollow strip, thereby driving the hollow strip to move vertically back and forth. When the hollow strip moves, it causes the two sliding sleeves to slide along the surfaces of the two sliding rods, increasing the stability of the hollow strip's movement. The vertical back and forth movement of the hollow strip drives the transmission rack to move vertically back and forth. When the transmission rack moves vertically back and forth, it drives the rotating shaft to rotate inside the sealed bearing through the second gear. When the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the feeding plate to rotate, thereby intermittently sending the lubricating oil in the oil tank to the oil outlet through the feeding groove, thus achieving a self-lubricating effect on the main shaft. This allows the main shaft of this circular knitting machine to be self-lubricated, eliminating the need for manual lubrication, avoiding omissions, and providing excellent performance.

[0022] When the main body 1 of the circular knitting machine is running, the main shaft 2 drives the needle plate 3 to rotate for processing. At the same time as the main shaft 2 rotates, the arc rack 4 drives the transmission component to rotate intermittently. When the transmission component rotates, it drives the feed plate 8 to rotate, thereby sending the lubricating oil in the oil storage tank 5 to the oil outlet 7 through the feed groove 9, thus achieving the effect of self-lubrication of the main shaft 2. This allows the circular knitting machine to self-lubricate the main shaft 2 without relying on manual lubrication, avoiding omissions and achieving very good performance.

[0023] The transmission assembly includes a first gear 10, which is meshed with one side of the arc-shaped rack 4.

[0024] While the main shaft 2 rotates, it drives the arc rack 4 to intermittently drive the first gear 10 to rotate along the positioning frame 11. When the first gear 10 rotates, it drives the driven bevel gear 13 to rotate through the driving bevel gear 12. When the driven bevel gear 13 rotates, it drives the shaft 14 to rotate inside the bushing 15.
