Detailed Implementation

[0023] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a circular knitting machine, which includes a circular knitting machine body 1 and a lint treatment mechanism 2, wherein the lint treatment mechanism 2 is sleeved in the middle of the circular knitting machine body 1.

[0025] The lint treatment mechanism 2 includes a receiving tray 209, several absorption components, and a dust blowing component. The receiving tray 209 is fitted in the middle of the large circular machine. A dust sliding platform 210 is provided on the receiving tray 209. A material collection trough 208 is provided on the outer side of the receiving tray 209. The dust sliding platform 210 is connected to the material collection trough 208. Several dust discharge ports 213 are arranged around the material collection trough 208. One of the absorption components is connected to one of the dust discharge ports 213. The dust blowing component is located above the dust sliding platform 210 and is connected to the middle of the receiving tray 209.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to deal with the lint and dust generated during the use of the circular knitting machine, the lint in the yarn will fall onto the collecting tray 209 for collection. In order to be better absorbed by the absorption component, the dust blowing component can be operated to blow the lint away from the working weaving center and slide it into the collection trough 208 through the dust sliding table 210. Then the absorption component is operated to absorb the lint in the collection trough 208.

[0027] Furthermore, the dust blowing assembly includes a fan 211, an air intake pipe 212, a fixing member 207, an annular air inlet pipe 203, a first air outlet pipe 206, and a second air outlet pipe 205. The annular air inlet pipe 203 is disposed above the dust sliding platform 210. The annular air inlet pipe 203 is detachably connected to the receiving tray 209 through several fixing members 207. The annular air inlet pipe 203 is connected to the fan 211 through the air intake pipe 212. Several first air outlets are arranged around the lower part of the annular air inlet pipe 203. One air outlet pipe is connected to one of the first air outlets. The first air outlet pipe 206 is horizontally arranged with the dust sliding surface of the dust sliding platform 210. Several second air outlets are arranged around the upper part of the annular air inlet pipe 203. One second air outlet pipe 205 is connected to one of the second air outlets.

[0028] As can be seen from the above description, when it is necessary to process the lint, the blower 211 can be operated to introduce air into the annular air inlet pipe 203 through the air inlet pipe 212. Then, the air in the annular air inlet pipe 203 blows towards the dust sliding table 210 through the first air outlet pipe 206, causing the lint on the dust sliding table 210 to be blown into the collection trough 208. At the same time, it blows towards the outside of the working weaving center through the second air outlet pipe 205, causing the lint to be blown away from the working weaving center.

[0029] Furthermore, the absorption assembly includes a dust inlet pipe 204, a dust collection box 202, a vacuum motor 201, and a filter element. The top of the dust collection box 202 is provided with a mounting hole adapted to the vacuum motor 201. The vacuum motor 201 is detachably connected to the mounting hole. The filter element is detachably connected inside the mounting hole. The upper part of the dust collection box 202 is provided with a dust inlet, which is connected to the dust outlet 213 through the dust inlet pipe 204.

[0030] As can be seen from the above description, when it is necessary to collect the lint in the collection trough 208, the dust suction motor 201 can be operated so that the dust suction motor 201 can suck the lint in the collection trough 208 into the dust collection box 202 for collection through the dust inlet pipe 204.

[0031] Furthermore, the absorption assembly also includes a sealing door, and a cleaning port is provided at the lower part of the dust collection box 202, with the sealing door detachably connected to the cleaning port.

[0032] As can be seen from the above description, it is beneficial to seal the cleaning port through the sealing door, so that the vacuum motor 201 can operate better. When it is necessary to clean the dust collection box 202, the sealing door can be opened so that the collected lint can be discharged from the cleaning port to the outside of the dust collection box 202.

[0033] Furthermore, a graphene coating is provided on the dust-slipping surface of the dust-slipping stage 210.

[0034] As can be seen from the above description, the properties of the graphene coating are beneficial to reduce the friction between lint and the dust-slipping surface, allowing the lint to slide off the dust-slipping surface more easily into the collection trough 208 for discharge.

[0035] Furthermore, it also includes a PLC controller, which is electrically connected to the large circular knitting machine body 1 and the lint processing mechanism 2 respectively.

[0036] As can be seen from the above description, it is beneficial to adjust the parameters of the circular knitting machine through the PLC controller, and makes it more convenient for operators to operate the circular knitting machine. Example 1
