Description
Technical Field

[0002] Computerized flat knitting machines are automated knitting equipment controlled by computers, mainly used to produce various knitted fabrics and finished garments. Compared with traditional manual or mechanical flat knitting machines, computerized flat knitting machines achieve efficient, precise, and complex pattern knitting through digital programming. They are widely used in the textile and apparel industry. During the knitting process of computerized flat knitting machines, the quality of the yarn directly affects the quality of the fabric. If there are knots or thick knots in the yarn, it can easily lead to yarn breakage, missed needles, or fabric defects, affecting production efficiency and product qualification rate.

To solve the above problems, we provide an antenna platform for computerized flat knitting machines. Utility Model Content

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Example 1:
[0023] refer to Figure 1-7 An antenna platform for a computerized flat knitting machine includes a first housing 1, a second housing 2, a manual reset detection mechanism 3, an automatic reset detection mechanism 4, and a yarn breakage detection mechanism 5. The manual reset detection mechanism 3 includes a first adjusting bolt 301, one end of which is rotatably connected to the first housing 1. A first push block 302 is threadedly connected to the surface of the first adjusting bolt 301. The first push block 302 is slidably connected to the interior of the first housing 1. A first rotating block 303 is rotatably connected to the interior of the first housing 1. A first lever 304 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first rotating block 303. A first slider 305 is engaged on one side of the first rotating block 303. A limit block 307 is slidably connected inside the first housing 1. A first spring 308 is sleeved on one side of the limit block 307. One side of the first rotating block 303 abuts against the limit block 307. A limit groove adapted to the first rotating block 303 is opened on one side of the limit block 307.
[0024] Specifically, the first rotating block 303 rotates inside the first housing 1 via the first pin, and can also slide on the surface of the first pin. The first push block 302 can slide longitudinally inside the first housing 1 via a sliding rod, facilitating the sliding of the first rotating block 303. One end of the first rotating block 303 can slide longitudinally inside the first slider 305. The user passes a yarn between the first lever 304 and the conductive plate 6, and then turns the first adjusting bolt 301, causing the first push block 302 to move on the surface of the first adjusting bolt 301. Simultaneously, the first push block 302 pushes the first rotating block 303 and the first lever 304 to move, causing one end of the first rotating block 303 to move inside the first slider 305. The first slider 305 does not move longitudinally, thus adjusting the distance between the first lever 304 and the conductive plate 6 according to the diameter of the yarn. A circuit board is fixedly connected to the back of the second housing 2, and three Hall sensors are fixedly connected to the back of the circuit board for use with the manual reset detection mechanism 3, the automatic reset detection mechanism 4, and the yarn breakage detection mechanism 5.
[0025] refer to Figure 3The first slider 305 is fixedly connected to the front of the first magnetic block 306. The inside of the first housing 1 is slidably connected to the first slider 305. The inside of the first housing 1 is provided with a first arc-shaped groove that matches the first slider 305. The back of the first slider 305 is integrally machined with protrusions to reduce the friction between the first slider 305 and the first arc-shaped groove, so that the first slider 305 can slide smoothly inside the first arc-shaped groove. The bottom of the first push block 302 is engaged with the first rotating block 303. The top of the first rotating block 303 is provided with a first slot that matches the first push block 302. Through the first slot, the first rotating block 303 will not be affected by the first push block 302 in its rotation. By setting the limiting groove, the first slider 305 can be effectively limited.
[0026] refer to Figure 4 The automatic reset detection mechanism 4 includes a second adjusting bolt 401, one end of which is rotatably connected to the first housing 1. A second push block 402 is threaded onto the surface of the second adjusting bolt 401. The interior of the first housing 1 is slidably connected to the second push block 402. A second rotating block 403 is rotatably connected to the interior of the first housing 1. The bottom of the second push block 402 is engaged with the second rotating block 403. A second slot adapted to the second push block 402 is provided on the top of the second rotating block 403. A second lever 404 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second rotating block 403. A second slider 405 is engaged on one side of the second rotating block 403. A second magnet 406 is fixedly connected to the front of the second slider 405. The bottom of the moving block 403 is fixedly connected to the second slider 405. The interior of the first housing 1 is slidably connected to the second slider 405. The interior of the first housing 1 is provided with a second arc-shaped groove that matches the second slider 405. A second spring 407 is fixedly connected to one side of the second rotating block 403. The other end of the second spring 407 is fixedly connected to the first housing 1. The working principle of the automatic reset detection mechanism 4 and the manual reset detection mechanism 3 is the same, and will not be described again here. The difference is that the knot drives the second rotating block 403 to rotate, so that the second rotating block 403 drives the second spring 407 to stretch. After the knot passes, the second spring 407 drives the second rotating block 403 to reset, and a second detection can be performed.
[0027] refer to Figure 5The yarn breakage detection mechanism 5 includes a lifting rod 501, one end of which is rotatably connected to the first housing 1. A third rotating block 502 is fixedly connected to one end of the lifting rod 501. A third magnetic block 503 is fixedly connected to the front of the third rotating block 502. An adjusting plate 504 is slidably connected inside the first housing 1. A third spring 505 is fixedly connected to the front of the adjusting plate 504. The other end of the third spring 505 is fixedly connected to the third rotating block 502. A first thread guide ring 506 is fixedly connected to one end of the lifting rod 501. One end of the third spring 505 is fixed around the third rotating block 502, serving the same function as a torsion spring. The yarn passes through the first thread guide ring 506. The inside of the first housing 1 is through which the toothed groove is formed on the top of the adjusting plate 504. The first housing 1 has an integrally machined locking block that matches the toothed groove. When the adjusting plate 504 slides, the locking block limits the adjusting plate 504 through the toothed groove. At the same time, the adjusting plate 504 stretches the third spring 505 and can adjust the tension of the third spring 505 on the third rotating block 502. When a yarn breakage occurs, the third spring 505 drives the third rotating block 502 to rotate. At the same time, the third rotating block 502 drives the lifting rod 501 to swing downward. Simultaneously, the third rotating block 502 drives the third magnetic block 503 to rotate to the detection area of the Hall sensor, and yarn breakage detection can be performed.
[0028] refer to Figure 6 The second housing 2 is fitted with mounting bolts, one end of which is threaded to the first housing 1. A connecting rod 7 is fixedly fitted to one end of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. One end of the connecting rod 7 is bent with a threading ring for guiding the yarn through. The other end of the connecting rod 7 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped block 8. A second thread guide ring is fixedly connected inside the U-shaped block 8. Both the second thread guide ring and the first thread guide ring 506 are made of ceramic material, which improves durability. A conductive plate 6 is fixedly connected to the front of the first housing 1. A wire 9 is snapped into the inside of the first housing 1. One end of the wire 9 abuts against the conductive plate 6, and the other end of the wire 9 abuts against the connecting rod 7. A discharge terminal is fixedly connected to the back of the circuit board, so that the surface of the wire 9 abuts against the discharge terminal, which is used to discharge the static electricity of the connecting rod 7 and the conductive plate 6, thereby preventing the adsorption of yarn lint.
[0029] refer to Figure 1 The front of the first housing 1 is fixedly connected to a screw 10 for installing two clips and a yarn adjusting spring. The surface of the screw 10 is threaded with an adjusting nut 11. By turning the adjusting nut 11, the yarn adjusting spring is compressed and reset, and the yarn tension can be adjusted. The top of the first housing 1 is fixedly connected to two warning lights 12 for indicating knots and broken yarn.
[0030] Brief description of the usage process: The user passes yarn through the first lever 304 and the conductive plate 6. When the yarn has a knot, the knot causes the first lever 304 to rotate, making one side of the first rotating block 303 disengage from the limiting groove of the limiting block 307. At the same time, the limiting block 307 slides inside the first housing 1, causing the limiting block 307 to compress and reset the first spring 308. Then, the first rotating block 303 drives the first slider 305 to slide inside the first arc-shaped groove. When the first slider 305 moves the first magnetic block 306 to the detection position of the Hall sensor on the circuit board, it controls the computer flat knitting machine to stop. After the worker processes the yarn, they manually turn back the first lever 304, causing the first lever 304 to rotate the first rotating block 303, making one end of the first rotating block 303 engage with the limiting groove of the limiting block 307. After that, the machine can be restarted. This device can effectively improve the sensitivity of yarn knot detection and improve product quality.
