Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sock knitting machines, and in particular to a fully computerized double-needle sock knitting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A fully computerized double-needle sock knitting machine is a highly automated sock-knitting device that integrates the essence of modern electronic and mechanical technologies. Its working principle involves precise control of the motor via an electrical control system, which drives the cylinder and shuttle in coordinated knitting motions. During the knitting process, the control system, according to a preset program, directs the needles on the cylinder to move up and down according to a specific pattern, while the shuttle simultaneously guides the yarn into the cylinder, forming the basic texture and pattern of the sock.

[0003] However, in practical applications, the turntable height of fully computerized double-needle sock knitting machines is designed to be a fixed value, which to some extent limits its adaptability to different sock production needs. Factors such as the size, thickness, and material of socks can all affect the adjustment needs during the production process, and the fixed turntable height makes the machine less flexible in the face of these changes.

[0004] While the fixed height of the turntable presents limitations, adjusting it is no easy task. Adjusting the turntable height may involve multiple internal components and complex structures, increasing operational complexity and potentially negatively impacting the machine's overall performance and stability. Furthermore, the adjustment process typically requires the intervention of skilled technicians, which undoubtedly increases production and time costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a fully computerized double-needle sock machine that can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A fully computerized double-needle sock knitting machine includes a rotating shaft, a turntable, a main shaft, a fixed post, and a threading hook. The turntable is located at the upper end of the rotating shaft, the main shaft is located at the lower end of the rotating shaft, and the fixed post is located next to the rotating shaft. A sub-frame is installed at the upper end of the fixed column. From left to right, the upper end of the sub-frame is provided with a bearing assembly, an adjusting screw assembly, a tension spring cylinder assembly, and a threading frame assembly. The tension spring cylinder assembly is located above the threading frame assembly. The turntable end face has multiple through holes. A stabilizing slide rod is inserted into the lower end of the rotating shaft. The stabilizing slide rod has a fixing frame. The fixing frame is installed on the upper part of the shaft hole of the main shaft. An electric push rod is installed at the lower end of the fixing frame. The upper telescopic end of the electric push rod is connected to a stabilizing push plate. The stabilizing push plate contacts the rotating shaft and pushes the rotating shaft to move up and down. A first threading hook and a second threading hook are installed on the sub-frame.

[0007] As an optional solution of this application, the rotating shaft is designed as an integral part of the turntable, and the cross-section of the turntable and the rotating shaft is designed in the shape of a "T". Insertion holes are opened on the two quadrant points of the rotating shaft, the stabilizing slide rod is inserted into the insertion holes, and the stabilizing slide rod and the rotating shaft are connected by a T-key and a T-hole for limiting. As an optional solution of this application, multiple through holes are distributed in a ring on the turntable. The through holes are threaded holes with arc-shaped edges. The rotating shaft is movably designed with the main shaft, and the main shaft and the rotating shaft are connected by a vertical slide groove and a slider for limiting. The upper end of the main shaft is connected with a buffer rubber ring by an adhesive. As an optional solution of this application, the fixing frame is fixed to the main shaft by bolts, the fixing frame is fixed to the electric push rod by bolts, the two stabilizing slide rods are symmetrically distributed in the openings on both sides of the fixing frame, and a bearing is provided between the stabilizing slide rods and the fixing frame; As an optional solution of this application, the electric push rod drives the rotating shaft to realize the up and down movement of the turntable. The telescopic end of the electric push rod passes through the opening on the end face of the fixed frame, and there is a gap between the electric push rod and the fixed frame. The electric push rod is fixed to the stabilizing push plate by bolts, and the edge of the stabilizing push plate is designed with an arc shape. As an optional solution of this application, the stabilizing push plate contacts the rotating shaft and realizes the upward movement of the turntable through the electric push rod. The upper end of the stabilizing slide rod is fitted with a reset spring, which drives the stabilizing push plate to reset downward.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The design of multiple annularly distributed through holes on the end face of the turntable not only ensures the uniformity and stability of the turntable during operation, but also effectively reduces stress concentration and improves the durability of the components through the arc design of the screw hole edges.

[0009] The turntable and the shaft are designed as a single "T"-shaped structure. This design not only provides sufficient strength and stability, but also ensures precise fit between components through the insertion hole on the shaft and the limiting connection of the stabilizing slide rod, further improving the overall stability of the equipment.

[0010] The electric actuator drives the rotating shaft, enabling the turntable to move up and down, thus completing the knitting process of the socks. The arc-shaped design of the electric actuator and the stabilizing push plate reduces wear on the rotating shaft, ensuring the long-term reliability of the equipment. Meanwhile, the return spring design at the upper end of the stabilizing slide allows the stabilizing push plate to return to its original position after each movement, preparing it for the next cycle.

[0011] The combined effect of the turntable and its adjustment mechanism also ensures that the yarn passes through accurately when the machine is knitting socks, thus guaranteeing the quality and efficiency of the sock knitting process. Attached Figure Description
