AI Technical Summary
Existing knitting technologies face inefficiencies in knitting fabrics with front and back surfaces, resulting in low efficiency and a lack of flatness, which increases storage volume and limits the ability to stack surfaces flat.
The proposed solution involves arranging the first and second surfaces oppositely, with vertically connected stitch lines and horizontally connected stitches. Yarn connections are made between the edges of adjacent rows to form lock portions, intersecting from inside to outside or outside to inside, to connect the surfaces and enhance flatness.
This method significantly improves knitting efficiency by allowing independent knitting of the first and second surfaces, reducing storage volume, and enabling the knitted fabric to be more easily folded and flattened, such as in the production of gloves.

Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of knitting technology, and in particular to a knitted fabric, a knitting method, and a glove. [Background technology]
[0002] Wearable items such as gloves, socks, and clothing can be made from materials such as yarn, wool, leather, and fabric, and wearable items made by knitting yarn are widely used in various fields due to their low cost. There are many ways to knit yarn, and it can be knitted on equipment such as flat knitting machines, jacquard knitting machines, and circular knitting machines.
[0003] When a flat knitting machine is used to knit a woven fabric having two layers of fabric, when the needle guide head moves from left to right, the needle raising triangle of the needle guide triangular bottom plate in the rear needle guide head pushes up the knitting needle on the rear needle bed, and the yarn in one yarn nozzle is eaten to complete one knitting operation. Correspondingly, when the needle guide head moves from right to left, the needle raising triangle of the needle guide triangular bottom plate in the front needle guide head pushes up the knitting needle on the front needle bed, and the yarn in the same yarn nozzle is relayed and eaten to complete another knitting operation. The completion of the reciprocating movement of the needle guide head moving from left to right and back to left is called the completion of one horizontal needle number, and in this way, the yarn is constantly circulating in a loop and knitted in a spiral. As shown in Figure 1, the left side is the first side and the right side is the second side, and the horizontal needle number knitted in one spiral manner includes multiple knitting units, and the knitting units in the seams of the first and second sides are the same as the other knitting units.
[0004] However, such a knitting structure has certain drawbacks, such as the yarn can only be knitted in a spiral shape, the knitting efficiency is limited, and the front needle guide head or the rear needle guide head of one row of needles may run free. In addition, the knitted fabric knitted in this way does not have a strong sense of boundary between the first and second sides, and the first and second sides cannot be stacked flatly, which leads to problems such as a large storage volume and an uneven knitted fabric. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a knitted fabric, a knitting method and a glove, which solve the problems of low knitting efficiency and insufficient flatness after molding of existing knitted fabrics having a front and back.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0010] Preferably, the first stitch rows or stitches on the first surface are knitted using different yarns.
[0011] Preferably, the second stitch rows on the second face are knitted with the same yarn.
[0012] Preferably, the second stitch rows or stitches on the second face are knitted with different yarns.
[0013] Preferably, the first surface and the second surface are connected at a junction of edges of the first side and the second side, The first stitch row of n rows on the first side and the second stitch row of n rows on the second side have the locking portion at an edge joining portion on a first side, and the first stitch row of n+1 rows on the first side and the second stitch row of n+1 rows on the second side have the locking portion at an edge joining portion on a second side, or The first stitch row of n rows on the first side and the second stitch row of n rows on the second side have the locking portion at an edge joining portion on the second side, and the first stitch row of n+1 rows on the first side and the second stitch row of n+1 rows on the second side have the locking portion at an edge joining portion on the first side.
[0014] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention further adopts the following technical solutions:
[0015] In the knitting region, the first yarn nozzle moves in the first direction following the first needle guide head to knit a first stitch row of n rows on the first surface, the second yarn nozzle moves in the first direction following the second needle guide head to knit a second stitch row of n rows on the second surface, the first needle guide head first reaches an edge junction of the first side of the n rows on the first surface and the second surface, the second needle guide head later reaches an edge junction of the first side of the n rows on the first surface and the second surface, and the first needle guide head first leaves the edge junction of the first side of the n rows on the first surface and the second surface along the second direction, the needle guide head then leaves the edge joint on the first side of the n rows on the first and second sides in a second direction, the first yarn connection part and the second yarn connection part intersect with the edge joint on the first side of the first and second sides to form a lock part, so that the first and second sides are connected; and the first yarn nozzle follows the first needle guide head to knit the first stitch row of the n+1 rows on the first side along the second direction, and the second yarn nozzle follows the second needle guide head to knit the second stitch row of the n+1 rows on the second side along the second direction, the first direction and the second direction being parallel to each other but opposite in direction.
[0016] Preferably, the first surface and the second surface are connected at a first side and a second side edge junction, and the knitting method further comprises: the first needle guide head first reaches the edge junction on the second side of the n+1 row of the first surface and the second surface, and the second needle guide head later reaches the edge junction on the second side of the n+1 row of the first surface and the second surface, and the first needle guide head first moves away from the edge junction on the second side of the n+1 row of the first surface and the second surface along the first direction, while the second needle guide head moves away from the edge junction on the first surface and the second surface along the first direction, and the first thread connection portion and the second thread connection portion form a lock portion at the edge junction on the second side of the first surface and the second surface.
[0017] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention further adopts the following technical solutions: A glove having the above knitted fabric.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The knitted fabric, knitting method and glove according to the above technical solution do not need to knit the stitch rows of the first side first and then knit the stitch rows of the second side using spiral knitting as in the prior art, but knit the first side and the second side independently, and form a locking part at the edge joining part of the first side and the second side through the knitting yarn between the stitch rows of the adjacent rows, so that the first side and the second side are connected to each other, and the knitted fabric is still shaped, and the structure of the locking part is a nested cross structure different from the structure of the first stitch and the second stitch, so that it is easier to form a fold at the edge joining part of the first side and the second side, and therefore the first side and the second side can be more easily bonded to each other, and if the knitted fabric needs to be in a folded state after knitting is completed, it can be made flatter, and for a glove having the above knitted fabric, after knitting is completed, it is naturally formed in a folded state, the glove is flatter and the storage volume is smaller. In addition, since the first and second sides are knitted independently, the needle guide heads corresponding to the first and second sides are always knitted in conjunction with the corresponding yarn nozzles during reciprocating motion, eliminating the phenomenon of free running. Without increasing the movement speed of the needle guide heads, knitting efficiency has been nearly doubled, resulting in a significant increase in productivity.

[0021] The technical aspects of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings, but obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] In describing the present invention, the orientations or positions indicated by the terms "center," "up," "down," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inside," "outside," etc., are based on the orientations or positions indicated in the drawings and are merely for ease and simplicity of description of the present invention, and do not indicate or imply that any device or element is required to be configured or operate in a particular orientation or in a particular direction, and should not be understood as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and do not indicate or imply any relative importance.
[0023] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "attach" and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, they may be fixedly connected, detachably connected, or integrally connected, mechanically connected, electrically connected, directly connected, indirectly connected via an intermediate medium, or internally connected between two elements. Those skilled in the art can specifically understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention.
[0024] As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 5, the embodiment of the present invention provides a knitted fabric including a first surface 1 and a second surface 2 arranged opposite to each other, and the opposite arrangement means that the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 face each other when the knitted fabric is in a knitted state. It should be noted that the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 may maintain the opposite state or may be deployed in a flat state after the knitting is completed. The first surface 1 includes a plurality of first stitch rows 11 connected in a vertical direction, each of the first stitch rows 11 includes a plurality of first stitches 12 connected in a horizontal direction, and the second surface 2 includes a plurality of second stitch rows 21 connected in a vertical direction, each of the second stitch rows 21 includes a plurality of second stitches 22 connected in a horizontal direction. The vertical direction of this embodiment may be perpendicular to the horizontal plane or may not be perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the horizontal direction may be horizontal or may not be horizontal, and the angle between the vertical direction and the horizontal direction may be a right angle or may not be a right angle.
[0025] The first surface 1 and the second surface 2 are knitted independently, and the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 are knitted with different yarn nozzles corresponding to the corresponding needle guide heads. At the edge joining portion of the first surface 1 and the second surface 2, a first yarn connection portion 13 is connected between the first stitch 12 of the first stitch row 11 of the nth row and the first stitch 12 of the first stitch row 11 of the n+1th row. As shown in FIG. 2, the first yarn connection portion 13 is actually a part of the knitting yarn of the first surface, and since the knitting yarn is flexible and deformable, the shape of the first yarn connection portion 13 in the actual product may not match that of FIG. 2, but the knitting yarn connected between the first stitch 12 of the first yarn stitch row 11 of the nth row and the first stitch 12 of the first stitch row 11 of the n+1th row is the first yarn connection portion 13. A second yarn connection portion 23 is connected between the second stitch of the second stitch row 21 of the nth row and the second stitch of the second stitch row 21 of the n+1th row. As shown in Figure 2, the second yarn connection portion 23 is actually part of the knitting yarn of the second surface, and since the knitting yarn is flexibly deformable, the shape of the second yarn connection portion 23 in the actual product may not match that of Figure 2, but the knitting yarn connected between the second stitch of the second knitting row 21 in the nth row and the second stitch of the second knitting row 21 in the n+1th row is the second yarn connection portion 23.
[0026] Taking the first side 1 as an example, the first yarn connection portion 13 is connected between the first stitch 12 on the outermost side (first side 3 or second side 4) of the first stitch row 11 of n rows and the first stitch 12 on the outermost side (first side 3 or second side 4) of the first stitch row 11 of n+1 rows, so that the first stitch row 11 on the first side 1 is knitted continuously. Similarly, the second stitch row 21 on the second side 2 is also knitted continuously, that is, the first side 1 and the second side 2 are knitted independently of each other. As a result, the needle guide heads corresponding to the first side 1 and the second side 2 are always knitted in accordance with the corresponding yarn nozzles during reciprocating motion, and there is no free running phenomenon. Therefore, the knitting efficiency is nearly doubled without increasing the movement speed of the needle guide head, and the productivity can be significantly improved.
[0027] To achieve the connection between the first surface and the second surface, the first thread connection portion 13 and the second thread connection portion 23 intersect to form a lock portion 5 for connecting the first surface 1 and the second surface 2. As shown in Fig. 3, the first thread connection portion 13 and the second thread connection portion 23 are parts of the knitting yarns of the first surface and the second surface, respectively, so that the lock portion 5 is actually a structure in which two knitting yarns are intertwined. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the first thread connection portion 13 forms a lock portion 5 that intersects with the second thread connection portion 23 from the inside to the outside, and since the first thread connection portion 13 is connected to the outermost first stitch 12 of the first stitch row 11 of n rows and the outermost first stitch 12 of the first stitch row 11 of n rows, the first thread connection portion 13 has a snap ring shape. Similarly, the second thread connection portion 23 connected to the outermost second stitch 22 of the second stitch row 21 of n rows and the outermost second stitch 22 of the second stitch row 21 of n rows also has a snap ring shape, and the first thread connection portion 13 and the second thread connection portion 23 engage with each other to tightly connect the first surface 1 and the second surface 2.
[0028] In another embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the first thread connection part 13 intersects with the second thread connection part 23 from the outside to the inside to form the locking part 5.
[0029] Because the knitting yarn is deformable, even after the knitting of the fabric is completed, the first yarn connection portion 13 and the second yarn connection portion 23 may be closer to the corresponding first stitch 12 and second stitch 22, and may not necessarily have a circular shape as shown in the drawings, but the first yarn connection portion 13 and the second yarn connection portion 23 will maintain a locked state.
[0030] The first surface 1 and the second surface 2 have a first side 3 and a second side 4 which are both side edges along the knitting direction of the first surface 1 and the second surface 2. Since the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 are in a relative state during knitting, the first side 3 of the first surface 1 is the first side 3 of the second surface 2, and the second side 4 of the first surface 1 is the second side 4 of the second surface 2. When the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 are connected only on one side, the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 are connected only to the edge joint of the first side 3 or the second side 4 via the locking part 5, and the locking parts 5 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. In the two embodiments shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 have an edge joint only on the first side 3 and are connected via the locking part 5. Of course, in other embodiments, the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 have an edge joint only on the second side 4 and are connected via the locking part 5.
[0031] In another embodiment shown in Figures 4 and 5, both sides of the first side 1 and the second side 2 are connected, i.e., the first side 1 and the second side 2 have edge joints on both the first side 3 and the second side 4, and are both connected via a locking portion 5, and the first stitch row of n rows of the first side 1 and the second stitch row of n rows of the second side 2 have a locking portion 5 at the edge joint of the first side 3, and the first stitch row of n+1 rows of the first side 1 and the second stitch row of n+1 rows of the second side have a locking portion 5 at the edge joint of the second side 4, or the first stitch row of n rows of the first side 1 and the second stitch row of n rows of the second side 2 have a locking portion 5 at the edge joint of the second side 4, and the first stitch row of n+1 rows of the first side 1 and the second stitch row of n+1 rows of the second side have a locking portion 5 at the edge joint of the first side 3.
[0032] Taking the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 as an example, the first stitch row of n rows on the first side 1 and the second stitch row of n rows on the second side 2 have a locking part 5 at the edge joining part of the first side 3, and the first stitch row of n+1 rows on the first side 1 and the second stitch row of n+1 rows on the second side 2 have a locking part 5 at the edge joining part of the second side 4. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a knitted fabric in which the first side 1 is divided into two so that it is easy to show that the first side 1 and the second side 2 are connected to both sides. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the knitted fabric. Specifically, on the first side 3 of the first side 1, the first stitch row 11 and the second stitch row 21 of n rows are connected by the locking part 5, and on the second side 4 of the first side 1, the first stitch row 11 and the second stitch row 21 of n+1 rows are connected by the locking part 5, and the n row and the n+1 row constitute one knitting cycle, which is repeated sequentially until the knitting of that part is completed. In the vertical direction on the first side, the locking portions 5 are provided at intervals such that the first stitch row 11 and the second stitch row 21 of n rows on the first side have the locking portion 5, and the first stitch row 11 and the second stitch row 21 of n+1 rows do not have the locking portion 5. In the vertical direction on the second side, the locking portions 5 are provided at intervals such that the first stitch row 11 and the second stitch row 21 of n rows on the second side do not have the locking portion 5, and the first stitch row 11 and the second stitch row 21 of n+1 rows have the locking portion 5.
[0033] In the above embodiments, the first stitch rows 11 on the first face 1 are knitted with the same yarn, but the same yarn means a yarn extending from the same yarn nozzle, and it is important to note that the yarn may be the same yarn, or multiple yarns may be in contact with each other and extend from the same yarn nozzle and knitted together with the guide head. The yarn may be a single color yarn, and the type of yarn may be pure spun yarn, blended yarn, twisted yarn, mixed twisted yarn, or other normal yarn, or multiple different yarns may be joined to form one yarn.
[0034] In other embodiments, the first stitch rows 11 or the first stitch rows on the first side 1 can be knitted using different types of yarn, where different yarns can refer to different numbers, different materials, and different colors of yarn. Taking the material of the yarn as an example, the type of yarn can be selected from pure spun yarn, blended yarn, tempered yarn, mixed twisted yarn, or other normal yarn, for example, the first few first stitch rows 11 are knitted using pure spun yarn, then the first few first stitch rows 11 are knitted using mixed twisted yarn with special functions, then the first few first stitch rows 11 are knitted using pure spun yarn, and then the remaining first stitch rows 11 are knitted using pure spun yarn again. Taking the number of yarns as an example, several of the first stitch rows 11 are knitted using two yarns, i.e., two yarns are each extended from one yarn nozzle and knitted corresponding to the same needle guide head, that is, one first stitch is knitted together with two yarns, and when knitting several other first stitch rows or several first stitch rows of a certain row, one of the yarns and its corresponding yarn nozzle do not participate in the knitting, and only one yarn and its corresponding yarn nozzle cooperate with the needle guide head to knit, and the first stitches of that part are knitted with one yarn. Taking the color of yarn as an example, the first stitch rows 11 of the first few rows are knitted using white yarn, and then the red yarn is replaced to knit several first stitch rows 11, and then the remaining first stitch rows 11 are knitted using white yarn. Different yarns extend from different yarn nozzles and are knitted under system control in cooperation with the needle guide heads at the same time or at different times to form multiple types of first surfaces.
[0035] The first stitches 12 on the first side 1 can be knitted using the same needle method, either all with normal needles or all with reverse needles, as shown in Figures 2 to 5. Of course, the first stitches 12 on the first side 1 can also be knitted using a combination of normal and reverse needles to produce a variety of knitted fabrics.
[0036] Similarly, in the above embodiments, the second stitch rows 21 on the second face 2 are knitted with the same yarn, but the same yarn refers to a yarn extending from the same yarn nozzle, and it should be noted that the yarn may be the same yarn, or multiple yarns may be in contact with each other and extend from the same yarn nozzle to be knitted together with the needle guide head. The yarn may be a single color yarn, and the type of yarn may be pure spun yarn, blended yarn, twisted yarn, mixed twisted yarn, or other normal yarn, or multiple different yarns may be in contact to form one yarn.
[0037] In other embodiments, the second stitch rows 21 or the second stitch rows on the second side 2 can also be knitted with different kinds of yarns, where different yarns can refer to different numbers, different materials, and different colors of yarns. Taking the material of the yarn as an example, the type of yarn can be selected from pure spun yarn, blended yarn, twisted yarn, mixed twisted yarn, or other normal yarn, for example, the first few second stitch rows 21 adopt pure spun yarn, and later replace it with a mixed twisted yarn with a special function to knit several second stitch rows 21, and then replace it with pure spun yarn to knit the remaining second stitch rows 21. Taking the number of yarns as an example, if several of the second stitch rows 21 are knitted using two yarns, i.e., if two yarns each extend from one yarn nozzle and knit corresponding to the same needle guide head, one second stitch is knitted together with two yarns, and when knitting the first stitch of any of the other several second stitch rows or a certain second stitch row, one of the yarns and its corresponding yarn nozzle do not participate in the knitting, and only one yarn and its corresponding yarn nozzle cooperate with the needle guide head to knit, the second stitch of that part is knitted with one yarn. Taking the color of yarn as an example, the first several second stitch rows 21 are knitted using white yarn, then the red yarn is replaced to knit several second stitch rows 21, and then the remaining second stitch rows 21 are knitted using white yarn. Different yarns extend from different yarn nozzles to form multiple types of second surfaces by knitting different yarn nozzles in cooperation with needle guide heads at the same time or at different times under system control.
[0038] The second stitches 22 on the second side 2 can be knitted using the same needle method, either all with normal needles or all with reverse needles, as shown in Figures 2 to 5. Of course, the second stitches 22 on the second side 2 can also be knitted using a combination of normal and reverse needles to produce a variety of knitted fabrics.
[0039] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the present invention also discloses a knitting method for producing the knitted fabric of the above-mentioned embodiment, in which the first needle guide head and the second needle guide head adopted therein are arranged opposite to each other and can be divided into a front needle guide head and a rear needle guide head. Of course, in actual production, the first needle guide head can be a rear guide head and the second needle guide head can be a front guide head. The first needle guide head corresponds to the first yarn nozzle, and the first yarn nozzle can be always the same yarn nozzle during knitting, or the yarn nozzle can be replaced during knitting, or multiple yarn nozzles can be knitted corresponding to the first needle guide head at the same time, and the yarn nozzle knitted together with the first needle guide head is the first yarn nozzle. Similarly, the second yarn nozzle can be always the same yarn nozzle during knitting, or the yarn nozzle can be replaced during knitting, or multiple yarn nozzles can be knitted corresponding to the second needle guide head at the same time, and the yarn nozzle knitted together with the second needle guide head can be the second yarn nozzle. In Figures 6 and 7, the first yarn nozzle 6 and the first needle guide head 7 shown in solid lines have a corresponding relationship of moving in the same direction, and the second yarn nozzle 8 and the second needle guide head 9 shown in dashed lines have a corresponding relationship of moving in the same direction.
[0040] The knitting method is, as shown in Fig. 6a, a first direction and a second direction are both knitting directions, parallel and opposite to each other, a knitting area corresponds to a knitting needle number, in the knitting area, a first yarn nozzle 6 moves along a first direction following a first needle guide head 7 to knit a first stitch row 11 of n rows on a first side 1, the first yarn nozzle 6 can move synchronously with the first needle guide head 7 under systematic control, and does not have to be synchronous with the first needle guide head 7 in a specific knitting method. Similarly, in the knitting area, a second yarn nozzle 8 moves along a first direction following a second needle guide head 9 to knit a second stitch row 21 of n rows on a second side 2, the second yarn nozzle 8 can move synchronously with the second needle guide head 9 under systematic control, and does not have to be synchronous with the second needle guide head 9 in a specific knitting method. Then, as shown in FIG. 6b, the first needle guide head 7 reaches the edge joint of the first side 3 of the n-th row on the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 first, and the second needle guide head 9 reaches the edge joint of the first side 3 of the n-th row on the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 second, and the second yarn nozzle 8 and the first yarn nozzle 6 are provided in a positionally offset manner at the edge joint of the first side 3 of the n-th row on the first surface 1 and the second surface 2, and the first yarn nozzle 6 is located outside the knitting direction of the second yarn nozzle 8. Then, as shown in FIG. 6c, the first needle guide head 7 moves away from the edge joint of the first side 3 of the n-th row on the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 first in the second direction, thereby forming the first yarn connection portion 13. The second needle guide head 9 moves away from the edge joint of the first side of the n-th row on the second surface 1 and the second surface 2 second in the second direction, thereby forming the second yarn connection portion 23. Because the first needle guide head 7 reaches the first side 3 before the second needle guide head 9 and leaves the first side 3 before the second needle guide head 9, the first thread connection portion 13 and the second thread connection portion 23 intersect at the edge junction of the first side 3 of the first surface 1 and the second surface 2, and after knitting of the first and second stitch rows of n+1 rows begins, the intersecting first thread connection portion 13 and second thread connection portion 23 each form a snap ring and further form a lock portion 5, so that the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 are connected.As shown in Fig. 6, the first yarn nozzle 6 corresponds to the first needle guide head 7, and the second yarn nozzle 8 corresponds to the second needle guide head 9, and on the first side 3 and the second side 4, the first yarn nozzle 6 and the second yarn nozzle 8 may be provided relatively, or the first yarn nozzle 6 and the second yarn nozzle 8 may be provided in a shifted position, and the first yarn nozzle 6 may be located outside the second yarn nozzle 8. As shown in Fig. 7, the first yarn nozzle 6 may be located inside the second yarn nozzle 7, and it is sufficient that the first yarn nozzle 6 maintains a corresponding relationship with the first needle guide head, and the second yarn nozzle is similar.
[0041] When the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 are connected on one side, only the first side 3 is connected, and has an edge joint, the first yarn nozzle 6 and the first needle guide head 7 move to the second side 4 first, and the second yarn nozzle 8 and the second needle guide head 9 move to the second side 4 later, and then the second yarn nozzle 8 and the second needle guide head 9 move away from each other in the first direction first, and then the first yarn nozzle 6 and the first needle guide head 7 move away from each other in the first direction, so that the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 do not have the first yarn joint portion 13 and the second yarn joint portion 23 that intersect at the edge joint of the second side 4, i.e., the lock portion 5 is not formed, and the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 are not connected at the edge of the second side 4. Then, the first yarn nozzle 6, the first needle guide head 7, the second yarn nozzle 8 and the second needle guide head 9 reciprocate in the first direction and the second direction according to the knitting method described above, and continue knitting until the knitting is completed. The nth row and the n+1th row constitute one knitting cycle, the first side 3 of the nth row has a locking portion 5, the locking portions 5 perpendicular to the knitting direction are spaced apart, and the first side 3 of the n+1th row does not have a locking portion 5, and n≧1.
[0042] In an actual product, the first side 3 may be the left side of the folded knitted fabric and the second side 4 may be the right side of the folded knitted fabric, or the first side 3 may be the right side of the folded knitted fabric and the second side 4 may be the left side of the folded knitted fabric, or the first side 3 may be the top side of the folded knitted fabric and the second side 4 may be the bottom side of the folded knitted fabric, or the first side 3 may be the bottom side of the folded knitted fabric and the second side 4 may be the top side of the folded knitted fabric, and the first side 3 and the second side 4 may be both sides of the knitted fabric. The folded knitted fabric means that the first surface and the second surface are bonded together relative to each other.
[0043] For example, when the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 are connected on both sides and connected to both the first side 3 and the second side 4, as shown in FIG. 6a, the first direction and the second direction are parallel and opposite knitting directions, the knitting area corresponds to the knitting needle number, and in the knitting area, the first yarn nozzle 6 moves along the first direction following the first needle guide head 7 to knit the first stitch row 11 of n rows of the first surface 1. The first yarn nozzle 6 may move synchronously with the first needle guide head 7 by systematic control, or may not be synchronous with the first needle guide head 7 in a specific knitting manner. Similarly, in the knitting area, the second yarn nozzle 8 moves along the first direction following the second needle guide head 9 to knit the second stitch row 21 of n rows of the second surface 2, and the second yarn nozzle 8 may move synchronously with the second needle guide head 9 by systematic control, or may not be synchronous with the second needle guide head 9 in a specific knitting manner. As shown in FIG. 6b, the first needle guide head 7 first reaches the edge joint of the first side 3 of the nth row on the first surface 1 and the second surface 2, and the second needle guide head 9 later reaches the edge joint of the first side 3 of the nth row on the first surface 1 and the second surface 2, the second yarn nozzle 8 and the first yarn nozzle 6 are positioned offset from the edge joint of the first side 3 of the nth row on the first surface 1 and the second surface 2, and the first yarn nozzle 6 is located outside the knitting direction of the second yarn nozzle 8, and as shown in FIG. 6c, the first needle guide head 7 first moves away from the edge joint of the first side 3 of the nth row on the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 in the second direction, thereby forming a first yarn connection portion 13, and the second needle guide head 9 later moves away from the edge joint of the first side of the nth row on the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 in the second direction, thereby forming a second yarn connection portion 23. Since the first needle guide head 7 reaches the first side 3 before the second needle guide head 9 and leaves the first side 3 before the second needle guide head 9, the first thread connection portion 13 and the second thread connection portion 23 intersect at the edge junction of the first side 3 between the first surface 1 and the second surface 2, and after knitting of the first and second stitch rows of n+1 rows begins, the intersecting first thread connection portion 13 and second thread connection portion 23 each form a snap ring and further form a lock portion 5, so that the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 are connected.Then, the first yarn nozzle and the first needle guide head knit the first stitch row of n+1 rows, and the second yarn nozzle and the second needle guide head knit the second stitch row of n+1 rows. As shown in Fig. 6d, the first needle guide head 7 first reaches the edge joint of the second side 4 of the n+1 rows between the first surface 1 and the second surface 2, and the second needle guide head 9 later reaches the edge joint of the second side 4 of the n+1 rows between the first surface 1 and the second surface 2, and the second yarn nozzle 8 and the first yarn nozzle 6 are offset from each other at the edge joint of the second side 4 of the n+1 rows between the first surface 1 and the second surface 2, and the first yarn nozzle 6 is located outside the knitting direction of the second yarn nozzle 8, and then, as shown in Fig. 6a, the first needle guide head 7 , the second needle guide head 9 first moves away from the edge junction of the second side 4 of the n+1 row between the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 in the first direction, and the second needle guide head 9 then moves away from the edge junction of the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 in the first direction, and the first yarn connection portion 13 and the second yarn connection portion 23 intersect at the edge junction of the second side 4 between the first surface 1 and the second surface 2, and when knitting of the next row begins, the intersecting first yarn connection portion 13 and second yarn connection portion 23 each form a snap ring and further form a lock portion 5, and the first surface 1 and the second surface 2 are connected on the second side 4. Rows n and n+1 constitute one knitting cycle, where n≧1, and the locking sections 5 perpendicular to the knitting direction are distributed at intervals, with the first side 3 of row n having a locking section 5, the first side 3 of row n+1 not having a locking section 5, the second side 4 of row n+1 having a locking section 5, and the second side 4 of row n not having a locking section 5, thereby realizing the connection of both sides of the first surface 1 and the second surface 2.
