Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of textile machinery automation, and in particular to a needle selection and sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Needle selectors are key functional components in customers' textile equipment, enabling precise needle selection control during the knitting process. Based on customized customer needs, a complete needle selector assembly typically consists of various needle selectors of different specifications arranged in a specific process order. The arrangement of these selectors directly impacts the equipment's performance and the quality of the fabric.

[0003] In existing technologies, the assembly and sorting of needle selection pieces generally relies on manual operation. Operators must manually select and arrange needle selection pieces of various specifications according to drawings or process instructions, and then install them as a whole into the corresponding station of the textile equipment. This method is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, significantly increasing the customer's assembly workload and resulting in low overall production efficiency; at the same time, because manual operation is susceptible to factors such as fatigue, fluctuations in attention, and environmental interference, assembly defects such as misselection of needle selection piece specifications, incorrect arrangement, missing quantities, or inconsistent combinations often occur, which in turn lead to abnormal equipment operation or fluctuations in product quality.

[0004] Given the aforementioned problems, the existing assembly method relying on manual sorting can no longer meet the production demands for high precision, high efficiency, and high reliability, severely impacting customer satisfaction with product delivery quality and indirectly leading to a decline in supplier market competitiveness and order loss. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a needle combination sorting and selection device to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, the needle feeding assembly includes several upright plates, which are spaced apart along the length of the workbench and are vertically positioned on the upper surface of the workbench. Several knitting needles are provided inside the upright plates, and a needle feeding platform is provided below the upright plates. A needle feeding hole for storing knitting needles is provided between the needle feeding platform and the upright plates.

[0009] Preferably, the needle-pushing device includes a pushing cylinder and a pushing platform. The pushing cylinder is disposed on the pushing platform, and a pushing block is fixedly connected to one end of the pushing cylinder. The pushing block is directly opposite the needle feeding hole.

[0010] Preferably, the needle receiving assembly includes a needle receiving platform with a needle receiving hole. A support plate is provided below the needle receiving hole. A movable block is provided on the side of the needle receiving platform away from the needle feeding assembly. A movable cylinder is provided on the worktable. One end of the movable cylinder is fixedly connected to the movable block. A lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the movable block. The lifting cylinder is vertically arranged. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the needle receiving platform. The needle receiving platform and the movable block are slidably connected.

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] This embodiment discloses a needle selection and sorting device, including a workbench 1, which is a rectangular metal platform used to support various functional components. Several needle feeding assemblies 2 are spaced apart along the length of the upper surface of the workbench 1. Each needle feeding assembly 2 consists of a vertically arranged upright plate 21 and a needle feeding platform 22 located below it. Multiple needle feeding holes 23 are formed between the upright plate 21 and the needle feeding platform 22 for storing knitting needles of different specifications. A needle receiving assembly 3 is provided on one side of each needle feeding assembly 2, and a needle pushing device 4 is provided on the other side. The needle pushing device 4 includes a pushing cylinder 41 fixed to a pushing platform. The piston rod of the pushing cylinder 41 is connected to a pushing block 42, which faces the needle feeding holes 23 and is used to push the knitting needles out of the needle feeding holes 23. The needle receiving assembly 3 includes a needle receiving platform 31, on which needle receiving holes 32 corresponding to the needle feeding holes 23 are opened. A support plate 33 is provided below the needle receiving holes 32 for receiving the knitting needles. The needle receiving platform 31 is slidably connected to the moving block 34. The moving block 34 is driven by the moving cylinder 35 on the worktable 1 to move along the slide rail. Simultaneously, a lifting cylinder 36 is installed on the moving block 34, whose piston rod is connected to the needle receiving platform 31, enabling the needle receiving platform 31 to rise and fall vertically. The worktable 1 also has a vertical connecting rod 37, with a visual touchscreen 38 mounted at its top for setting the needle selection program. A work box 39 is located on the lower surface of the worktable 1 to house electrical control components. This structure achieves automatic needle selection, precise positioning, and orderly arrangement.

[0024] The implementation principle of Example 1 is as follows: First, the operator inputs the required needle specifications and arrangement order through the visual touchscreen 38. The control system activates the push cylinder 41 of the corresponding needle feeding assembly 2 according to the instruction. The push block 42 moves forward under air pressure, pushing the designated needle out of the needle feeding hole 23. Simultaneously, the moving cylinder 35 drives the moving block 34 to move along the slide rail, moving the needle receiving platform 31 to the predetermined receiving position. The lifting cylinder 36 adjusts the height of the needle receiving platform 31, aligning its needle receiving hole 32 with the push path. After the needle is pushed to the needle receiving hole 32, it is supported by the lower support plate 33, completing one needle selection action. Repeating the above process allows for the combination and sorting of multiple needles. The entire process is highly automated, with precise positioning, effectively avoiding human error and improving production efficiency and system reliability.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] The difference in this embodiment is that the pusher block 42 is made of wear-resistant polyurethane material, and its front end has an arc-shaped guide surface. This material has good elasticity and wear resistance, and the arc-shaped guide surface allows the pusher block 42 to make a smooth transition when contacting the knitting needle, reducing frictional resistance and preventing needle tip scratches or jamming. In addition, the shock absorption properties of polyurethane material help reduce pushing impact and protect the structural integrity of the knitting needle. After replacement, the pushing process is more stable, the equipment operating noise is reduced, and it is suitable for high-end knitting equipment assembly scenarios with higher requirements for knitting needle precision.

[0027] Example 3

[0028] The difference in this embodiment is that the support plate 33 is designed as a detachable structure, fixed to the bottom of the needle receiving table 31 by clips or bolts. The support plate 33 integrates an elastic clamping mechanism, such as a spring clip or rubber clamp, which automatically clamps the needle after it falls into the needle receiving hole 32, preventing it from shifting due to vibration or movement. This structure improves the stability of the needle receiving process, and is especially suitable for high-speed needle selection or multi-layer stacking applications. The detachable design facilitates maintenance and replacement of clamping modules of different specifications, enhancing the versatility of the equipment.

[0029] Example 4

[0030] The difference in this embodiment is that an anti-rust coating (such as zinc or nickel plating) is added to the surface of the slide rail, and a self-lubricating wear-resistant strip (such as polytetrafluoroethylene or bronze-based composite material) is embedded in the slide groove. This improvement significantly enhances the smoothness and durability of the sliding of the moving block 34, reduces the frequency of daily maintenance, and extends the service life of the equipment. Especially in humid or dusty industrial environments, this structure exhibits superior operational stability.

[0031] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
