Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computerized flat knitting machines, and in particular to a feeding device for processing guide rails for computerized flat knitting machines. Background Technology

[0002] Computerized flat knitting machines are high-end knitting equipment that integrates computer control, precision mechanical transmission, and automated knitting. They are widely used in clothing, footwear, industrial textiles, and other fields. One of its core components is the needle bed guide, which is used to precisely guide the knitting needles in the horizontal reciprocating motion. Its processing accuracy directly affects the smoothness of the needle movement, the accuracy of positioning, and the overall knitting quality of the machine.

[0003] In the actual processing of guide rails, the feeding process is crucial for achieving continuous, efficient, and precise machining. Currently, most manufacturers still use manual feeding or general-purpose conveying devices for guide rail loading. However, manual operation suffers from high labor intensity, inconsistent feeding rhythm, and large positioning errors, making it difficult to meet the demands of high-precision machining. More importantly, existing general-purpose feeding devices generally lack specialized structural designs for slender, high-precision workpieces like guide rails. They cannot effectively guide and limit the material during the feeding process. Furthermore, existing technologies still rely heavily on manual stacking or simple pallet handling in the receiving stage, lacking automated and orderly sorting functions. After processing, guide rails are randomly stacked, which not only occupies space but also easily causes collision damage, making subsequent material retrieval difficult and hindering batch management and efficient circulation.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a feeding device for the processing of guide rails for computerized flat knitting machines, solving the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing general feeding devices, such as lack of dedicated design, difficulty in effectively guiding and limiting materials, and difficulty in subsequent material picking, this utility model provides a feeding device for the processing of guide rails for computerized flat knitting machines.

[0006] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows: a feeding device for the guide rail processing of a computerized flat knitting machine, comprising a base, a belt conveyor, connecting blocks, a connecting frame, rollers, a baffle, a limiting frame, an electric telescopic rod, and a lifting plate. The belt conveyor is installed on the upper part of the base. Connecting blocks are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the belt conveyor. A connecting frame is fixedly connected to the left side of the belt conveyor. Multiple rollers are rotatably connected inside the connecting frame. A baffle is fixedly connected to the right side of the belt conveyor. A limiting frame is placed on the upper right side of the base. An electric telescopic rod is installed on the upper right side of the base. A lifting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the electric telescopic rod.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes a connecting plate, a bidirectional lead screw, a guide rod and a limiting plate. The connecting plates are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the belt conveyor. The bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected between the front and rear connecting plates on the left side. The guide rod is fixedly connected between the front and rear connecting plates on the right side. The limiting plates are slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the upper part of the belt conveyor. The bidirectional lead screw is threadedly engaged with the limiting plate, and the guide rod is slidably connected with the limiting plate.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes a sponge pad, and the sponge pad is glued to the side of the two limiting plates that are close to each other.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes a connecting rod, and the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the front of the bidirectional lead screw.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the belt on the belt conveyor is made of rubber.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: 1. By setting up a connecting rod, a two-way lead screw, a guide rod and a limiting plate, it can quickly guide and accurately limit materials of different widths, improving the versatility and positioning accuracy of the device; 2. By connecting the left-high and right-low transition roller with the belt conveyor, gravity is used to realize the automatic sliding of materials into the conveyor belt and sliding down in the expected direction, improving the feeding efficiency; 3.

[0019] Example: A feeding device for processing guide rails in a computerized flat knitting machine, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the system includes a base 1, a belt conveyor 2, a connecting block 3, a connecting frame 4, rollers 5, a baffle 6, a limiting frame 7, an electric telescopic rod 8, a lifting plate 9, a connecting plate 10, a two-way lead screw 11, a guide rod 12, a limiting plate 13, a sponge pad 14, and a connecting rod 15. The belt conveyor 2 is mounted on the upper part of the base 1. The belt on the belt conveyor 2 is made of rubber, which has high friction resistance. Connecting blocks 3 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the belt conveyor 2. A connecting frame 4 is fixedly connected to the left side of the belt conveyor 2. Multiple rollers 5 are rotatably connected inside the connecting frame 4. The rollers 5 are made of nylon, which can reduce damage to materials. A baffle 6 is fixedly connected to the right side of the belt conveyor 2. A limiting frame 7 is placed on the upper right side of the base 1. An electric telescopic rod 8 is installed on the upper right side of the belt conveyor 2. A lifting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the electric telescopic rod 8 to realize the stacking and storage of materials for easy retrieval later. Connecting plates 10 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the belt conveyor 2. A bidirectional screw 11 is rotatably connected between the front and rear connecting plates 10 on the left side. A guide rod 12 is fixedly connected between the front and rear connecting plates 10 on the right side. Limiting plates 13 are slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the belt conveyor 2 to accommodate materials of different widths. The bidirectional screw 11 is threadedly engaged with the limiting plate 13. The guide rod 12 is slidably connected to the limiting plate 13. A sponge pad 14 is glued to the side of the two limiting plates 13 that are close to each other to protect the materials. A connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected to the front of the bidirectional screw 11.

[0020] When this device is needed, the operator first uses the connecting blocks 3 on both the front and rear sides to fix it in place at the feed or discharge station of the designated processing equipment. Then, according to the width of the material to be processed, the operator manually rotates the connecting rod 15 to drive the bidirectional lead screw 11 to rotate, thereby driving the limit plates 13 on both sides to move inward or outward synchronously along the guide rod 12 to adjust to a position matching the width of the material. After adjustment, the belt conveyor 2 is started, and the operator places the material to be processed on the upper part of the transition roller 5 at the front end of the device. Due to the inclined structure of the transition section, which is higher on the left and lower on the right, the material moves along the belt conveyor under its own weight. Roller 5 rolls smoothly and slides to the right into the upper part of belt conveyor 2. When the material is conveyed to the right by the belt to the end, it is blocked by baffle 6 and accurately positioned on lifting plate 9, and finally enters the limit frame 7. During the material conveying process, electric telescopic rod 8 is activated. Whenever a piece of material falls completely onto lifting plate 9, electric telescopic rod 8 automatically performs a retraction action, driving lifting plate 9 to descend by a preset height step by step, reserving space for the stacking of the next piece of material. After stacking, the operator can take out the whole stack of material at once, which is convenient for subsequent transfer and processing, significantly improving the material receiving efficiency and the standardization of the operation.

[0021] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the present invention in any way, and all technical solutions obtained by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
