Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flat knitting machine technology, specifically to a knitting flat knitting machine thread feeding mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] A flat knitting machine is a specialized machine for manufacturing knitted fabrics. It typically consists of a needle bed, needle bar, shuttle, feeding system, drive unit, and control system. Through computer programs or manual adjustments, it controls needle insertion, parallel or staggered arrangement, loop formation, and knitting density. Its core principle is to continuously transform yarn into an elastic and structurally stable fabric through the up-and-down movement of needles, the transfer of yarn on the shuttle or warp, and the simultaneous winding and interlacing of multiple yarns. Currently, during operation, flat knitting machines require yarn loading. Due to the elasticity of the yarn, it is prone to slack during loading. Without proper handling, this can easily lead to yarn tangling, knotting, or stagnation. This necessitates assistance from technical personnel, increasing their workload and impacting the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the flat knitting machine.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new thread feeding mechanism for flat knitting machines. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a yarn feeding mechanism for a flat knitting machine to solve the problem of yarn slack during the yarn feeding process mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a knitting flat knitting machine thread feeding mechanism, including a base plate, a mounting frame installed on the top of the base plate, a bracket installed at the top of the inner side of the mounting frame, screws provided on the outer walls of both sides of the bracket, and a thread feeding roller rotatably connected to the lower inner side of the bracket;
[0006] The end face of the bracket is equipped with an online auxiliary component, which includes an adjustment frame, and a guide groove is provided on one side of the surface of the adjustment frame.
[0007] Preferably, a washer is slidably connected to one side of the outer wall of the screw, and a knob A is threadedly connected to the other side of the outer wall of the screw.
[0008] Preferably, the interior of the adjusting frame is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the screw, and a guide plate is provided on one side of the outer wall of the adjusting frame.
[0009] Preferably, a T-shaped guide post is installed inside the guide plate, and the outer wall of the T-shaped guide post is slidably connected to the inside of the guide plate.
[0010] Preferably, a knob B is threadedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the T-shaped guide post, and a spring is provided on the other side of the outer wall of the T-shaped guide post.
[0011] Preferably, a movable seat is installed between the knob B and the opposite side of the spring, and the interior of the movable seat is slidably connected to the outer wall of the T-shaped guide post.
[0012] Preferably, a guide seat is installed on one outer wall of the movable seat, and the outer wall of the guide seat is slidably connected to the inside of the guide groove.
[0013] Preferably, an auxiliary roller is installed between the opposite sides of the two sets of guide seats, and the shaft inside the auxiliary roller is rotatably connected to the inside of the guide seat.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] By sliding the guide seat in the guide groove on the adjusting frame and sliding the moving seat on the outer wall of the T-shaped guide column, and utilizing the spring fitted on the outer wall of the T-shaped guide column with its elastic reaction force, the yarn on the upper roller only needs to be wound around the auxiliary roller during the winding operation. The auxiliary roller, combined with the spring's reaction force, can achieve yarn tensioning, minimizing the possibility of the elastic yarn becoming loose during winding, causing tangling, knotting, or stagnation. This eliminates the need for personnel to assist with maintenance and supervision, reducing workload and stress. Furthermore, by adjusting the angle of the adjusting frame, the angle of the auxiliary roller can be flexibly adjusted to meet tensioning requirements at different angles during winding, effectively improving the overall working efficiency and performance of the flat knitting machine.

A guide groove 401 is opened on one side of the surface of the adjustment frame 4. The interior of the adjustment frame 4 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the screw 301. Two sets of adjustment frames 4 are rotatably connected and set on the outer wall of the screw 301 on the bracket 3. After rotating the adjustment frame 4 to the required angle according to the installation angle requirements, the knob A304 is turned to tighten it. With the help of the washer 303 on the outer wall of the screw 301, the angle of the adjustment frame 4 is adjusted and then fixed. Furthermore, the gasket 303 has a certain locking and anti-slip effect, ensuring that the adjustment frame 4 does not change after adjustment.

By setting two sets of adjusting frames 4 on the outer wall of the screw 301 on the bracket 3 in a rotatable connection, and adjusting the adjusting frame 4 to the required angle according to the installation angle requirements, the adjusting frame 4 is rotated to the required angle, and then the knob A304 is turned to tighten it. With the help of the washer 303 on the outer wall of the screw 301, the angle of the adjusting frame 4 is adjusted and then fixed. The washer 303 has a certain locking and anti-slip effect, which can keep the adjusting frame 4 from changing after adjustment. The shaft on the auxiliary roller 408 is rotatably connected between the guide seats 407 on the two sets of moving seats 406, and the guide seats 407 are slidably set on the guide of the adjusting frame 4. Inside the slot 401, the movable seat 406 is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the T-shaped guide post 403. A spring 405 is fitted onto the outer wall of the T-shaped guide post 403, and the spring 405 has a certain elastic reaction force. When the yarn on the upper roller 302 is being threaded, the yarn only needs to be wound around the auxiliary roller 408. The auxiliary roller 408, combined with the reaction force of the spring 405, can achieve tensioning of the yarn, minimizing the possibility of the elastic yarn becoming loose during the threading process, causing tangling, knotting, or stagnation. This eliminates the need for personnel to assist with maintenance and supervision, reducing the workload and stress on personnel. Furthermore, by adjusting the angle of the adjusting frame 4, the angle of the auxiliary roller 408 can be flexibly adjusted to meet the tensioning requirements at different angles during the threading process, effectively improving the overall working efficiency and performance of the flat knitting machine.
