[0027] Please see Figures 1-10This utility model provides a knitting machine transfer device, including a hydraulic cart 4. The top surface of the hydraulic cart 4 has a movable groove 12, in which positioning grooves 11 are arrayed. A first mounting plate 3 and a second mounting plate 5 are respectively provided in the movable groove 12. Positioning columns 10 are arrayed and fixed on the bottom surface of the first mounting plate 3, and the positioning columns 10 are movably connected to the positioning grooves 11.

Ball bearings 9 are arrayed on the bottom surface of the second mounting plate 5, and the ball bearings 9 are rotatably connected to the second mounting plate 5. A telescopic plate 8 is fixed on the side of the second mounting plate 5. An electric telescopic rod 6 is fixed in the telescopic groove 7, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod 6 is fixedly connected to the telescopic plate 8. Mounting grooves 13 are respectively provided on the top surfaces of the first mounting plate 3 and the second mounting plate 5, and an extension groove 14 is provided on the side of the second mounting plate 5. It also includes an anti-tipping component 1, which is disposed in the mounting groove 13 to support the crossbeam frame at the bottom of the knitting machine; and a support component 2, which is disposed in the extension groove 14 to support the side of the knitting machine. The anti-tipping assembly 1 includes a support plate 101, which is movably connected to the mounting groove 13. A movable cavity 105 is formed within the support plate 101. Support columns 102 are evenly distributed within the movable cavity 105, penetrating the top surface of the cavity. A limit ring 108 is fixed to the surface of the support column 102. A return spring 107 is fixed between the bottom end of the support column 102 and the movable cavity 105. A locking plate 109 is provided within the movable cavity 105. Locking holes 110 are evenly distributed on the surface of the locking plate 109, penetrating the plate. A [missing information - likely a device or component] is fixed inside the locking holes 110. The locking ring 111 is made of thermoplastic rubber. A locking motor 104 is fixed inside the support plate 101. A locking screw 114 is fixed to the output end of the locking motor 104, and the locking screw 114 is threadedly connected to the locking plate 109. An adjustment groove 103 is provided at the top of the support column 102. A connecting bracket 113 is provided in the adjustment groove 103, and the connecting bracket 113 is rotatably connected to the adjustment groove 103. A connecting spring 112 is fixed between the connecting bracket 113 and the adjustment groove 103. Extrusion columns 106 are fixed at both ends of the connecting bracket 113. The extrusion columns 106 are made of thermoplastic rubber.

[0028] Specifically, the distance between the first mounting plate 3 and the second mounting plate 5 can be adjusted according to the size of the braiding machine, enhancing the adaptability of the device. In the anti-tipping assembly 1, under the action of the return spring 107, the support column 102 can be raised and lowered in the movable cavity 105. When the device contacts the crossbeam frame at the bottom of the braiding machine, the support column 102 in contact with the crossbeam frame will retract into the movable cavity 105 under pressure. The support column 102 on the side of the crossbeam frame supports the side of the crossbeam frame through the compression column 106. When the crossbeam frame of the braiding machine is in full contact with the device, the locking plate 109 fixes the position of the support column 102 by the drive of the locking motor 104. This design increases the contact area between the device and the braiding machine when the device contacts the crossbeam frame at the bottom of the braiding machine, while also supporting the braiding machine frame from the side. This allows the device to lift the braiding machine horizontally in various environments, preventing the braiding machine from tilting due to an unstable center of gravity.

[0029] The support assembly 2 includes an extension plate 203, which is movably connected to the extension groove 14. An extension motor 204 is fixed inside the second mounting plate 5. An extension screw 205 is fixed to the output end of the extension motor 204 and is threadedly connected to the extension plate 203. A limit plate 201 is fixed to the top surface of the extension plate 203. A storage groove 208 is provided on the top surface of the extension plate 203. A stabilizing plate 202 is provided in the storage groove 208 and is rotatably connected to the storage groove 208. A flipping motor 207 is fixed in the extension plate 203 and is fixedly connected to the side of the stabilizing plate 202. An anti-slip plate 206 is fixed to the surface of the stabilizing plate 202. The anti-slip plate 206 is made of thermoplastic rubber.

[0030] Specifically, in support component 2, under the drive of extension motor 204, extension plate 203 moves out of extension slot 14 with stabilizing plate 202. Then, under the drive of flip motor 207, stabilizing plate 202 can be rotated and adjusted. Then, under the rotation of extension screw 205, stabilizing plate 202 can support and adjust the side of the braiding machine. This design enhances the stability of the braiding machine when it is being transported. It has a simple structure, is easy to operate, is convenient for single-person operation, reduces labor during the transport of the braiding machine, and improves the practicality of the device.

[0031] Working principle: Under the action of the electric telescopic rod 6, the distance between the first mounting plate 3 and the second mounting plate 5 can be adjusted according to the size of the weaving machine. The positioning column 10 on the first mounting plate 3 and the positioning groove 11 on the hydraulic carriage 4 facilitate the installation and disassembly of the device and the replacement of hydraulic carriages 4 of different sizes. The ball bearings 9 on the second mounting plate 5 are for the convenience of the second mounting plate 5 moving along the movable groove 12 to reduce friction. In the anti-tipping assembly 1, under the action of the return spring 107, the support column 102 can move in the movable cavity 105. When the device comes into contact with the crossbeam frame at the bottom of the braiding machine, the support column 102 in contact with the crossbeam frame will retract into the movable cavity 105 under pressure. The support column 102 on the side of the crossbeam frame supports the side of the crossbeam frame through the extrusion column 106. After the crossbeam frame of the braiding machine is in full contact with the device, the locking plate 109 increases the friction between the locking ring 111 and the surface of the support column 102 by extruding the locking ring 111 through the drive of the locking motor 104, thereby fixing the position of the support column 102.

[0032] In support assembly 2, driven by extension motor 204, extension plate 203 moves out of extension slot 14 with stabilizing plate 202. Then, driven by flip motor 207, stabilizing plate 202 can be rotated and adjusted. Then, under the rotation of extension screw 205, stabilizing plate 202 can support and adjust the side of the braiding machine. This design enhances the stability of the braiding machine when it is being transported. It has a simple structure, is easy to operate, is convenient for single-person operation, reduces labor during the transport of the braiding machine, and improves the practicality of the device.

[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
