The present invention discloses a needle turning mechanism for an intelligent flat knitting
machine, comprising a needle
bed for the intelligent flat knitting
machine, a substrate fixedly connected to one side of the needle
bed, a needle turning
cam adjustable on the upper part of the substrate, a plurality of needle grooves provided on the upper part of the needle
bed, a hook needle slidably installed inside the needle groove; a main
airway provided inside the substrate, a plurality of
branch airways provided in a vertical direction of the main
airway of the substrate, the plurality of
branch airways respectively connected and connected with the main
airway; a pneumatic rod slidably installed inside the
branch airway, the hook needle fixedly installed at one end of the pneumatic rod away from the substrate. The air pressure of the branch airway is affected by the needle turning
cam to perform pressurization or
decompression operation, and the hook needle is affected by the negative pressure of the branch airway to perform retraction action. In the present invention, when the needle turning
cam moves to drive the hook needle to move synchronously, the air pressure regulating device in the airway
system will be triggered, so that the air pressure in the bronchial passage will change accordingly. When the hook needle completes the needle
turning action, the hook needle is no longer constrained by the needle turning cam, and the air pressure in the bronchial passage sucks the pneumatic rod and the hook needle to retract quickly to the initial position.
