This invention discloses a knitting
machine for a
thermal insulation and sealing elastic inner support structure for
aerospace vehicles, comprising: a frame, a knitting cylinder, a knitting toothed plate, a needle feed
cam, multiple needles, a gantry, an elastic
structure support, and a drafting mechanism. The drafting mechanism is disposed on the frame and is used to clamp and pull the knitted elastic structure and the mesh sleeve wrapped around the elastic structure. This invention relates to the field of knitting
machine technology. By installing the gantry on the knitting toothed plate and rotating it synchronously, the special
metal wire is fed in a follow-up manner, enabling the special
metal wire to enter the knitting area evenly and stably, effectively solving the problem of uneven knitting of special
metal wire. Through the cooperation of the knitting toothed plate, the needle feed
cam, and the needles, the regular up-and-down
reciprocating motion of the needles on the fixed needle cylinder is achieved. At the same time, the knitting toothed plate drives the gantry to rotate around the elastic
structure support to feed the wire, ensuring that the metal wire is always evenly wrapped around the elastic
structure support during the knitting process.
