Abstract

The invention relates to a flat knitting machine with a lighting device, in particular to a flat knitting machine with at least two opposite needle beds (4,5) and a machine slide (30) which can move over the needle beds (4,5) and is used for controlling at least the movement of the needles, wherein at least one lighting device (33) is arranged at the slide (30) and is used for lighting a knitting space below the slide (30).

Description

With the flatbed knitting machine of lighting device

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of flatbed knitting machine with lighting device.

Background technology

Modern flatbed knitting machine (Flachstrickmaschnie) is equipped with lighting device for illuminating the working space of machine in the region of slide (Schlitten) top, and is equipped with lighting device in the region of the knitted fabric groove (Gestrickwanne) of knitting that has held.

But the Lighting Division (Beleuchtung) that is arranged in slide top can not illuminate the working space of slide below, for example, because be furnished with parts and other the member (yarn guide) of slide between Lighting Division and working space. In the time that slide stops at abort situation top due to the fracture of yarn breakage or pin heel (Nadelfu) or pusher jack heel (Platinenfu), this is especially very inconvenient in the time of trouble shoot. The shade that slide and other parts project on the pin space (Nadelraum) that is positioned at below makes to need to consider additional outside Lighting Division. Before can starting trouble shoot, first this Lighting Division must be positioned and connect.

Summary of the invention

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of flatbed knitting machine with improved lighting condition.

This object by the needle-bars relatively put with at least two and can cross needle-bar motion, solve for controlling at least flatbed knitting machine of the machine slide of needle movement (Nadelbewegung), it is characterized in that, be furnished with at least one lighting device at slide place for illuminating the knitting space below slide. This lighting device shines directly in pin space and not and is hidden by slide parts or yarn guide. If slide, because the fault detecting is stopped, can start trouble shoot immediately, and illuminating device that needn't Provision in advance outside.

At this, this at least one lighting device can manually and/or by machinery be controlled and/or switch by knitting program. If slide, because the fault detecting stops, can for example automatically being connected Lighting Division so. In addition,, if complete knitting, can realize and automatically activate lighting device. So this lighting device makes machine be adapted to new knitting and becomes easy.

Advantageously, this at least one lighting device can comprise one or more luminous laths (Lichtleiste). Luminous lath can be arranged to the relative very wide region of the working space that is parallel to needle-bar and therefore illuminates knitting machine.

If this at least one lighting device is arranged in to slide place adjustably, obtains other advantage. In the time using luminous lath, luminous plaque bar for example can be rotated to can optimally illuminate the region arousing attention of machine.

In a favourable design, this at least one lighting device is arranged in to machine slide place above front needle-bar and/or rear needle-bar. Therefore will first optimally illuminate pin and pusher jack (Platine). But self-evident, lighting device also can medially be arranged in slide place in pectination gap (Kammspalt) top.

If this at least one lighting device is equipped with the LED as illuminating device, lighting device only needs very little electric current and sends very bright and cold light (it does not have additionally heating stylus and pusher jack) simultaneously so. At this, LED can preferably have the radiation angle (Abstrahlwinkel) matching with illuminated area.

This at least one lighting device also can be used to the function for other. Therefore also can utilize this at least one lighting device that state and/or fault message are shown. For this reason, this at least one lighting device can for example move with different flicker frequencies and/or with different glow colors according to the form of information.

In addition, can manually or automatically make the illumination intensity of this at least one lighting device and/or the illuminating position of glow color and environment (Lichtverh ltnisse) and/or match with the illumination functions of expecting. This ensures to draw all the time the working space that illuminates best machine.

Brief description of the drawings

Further illustrate the preferred design according to flatbed knitting machine of the present invention below with reference to accompanying drawing. Wherein:

Fig. 1 a, 1b have shown according to the view of the flatbed knitting machine of prior art and its machine slide;

Fig. 2 a has shown according to the side view of the machine slide of flatbed knitting machine of the present invention;

Fig. 2 b has shown the front view of the machine slide of Fig. 2 a.

Detailed description of the invention

Fig. 1 a has shown a kind of flatbed knitting machine 100, its band organic frame 10 and front needle-bar and rear needle-bar 20. In needle-bar 20, introduce the guiding groove that is useful on knitting elements (for example pin or pusher jack). Knitting elements can vertically move by means of the Triangulum (Strickschloss) (invisible herein) that is arranged on machine slide 30 places in its guiding groove. In addition, machine slide 30 is moved back and forth along needle-bar 20. For the manufacture of the required line 41 of knitted fabric from yarn spool-holder tube 40 by yarn control module 50 and fournisseur (Fournisseur) stretch yarn guide 70 (its equally after corresponding selection by cross that the slide 30 of needle-bar 20 makes it motion and therefore to selected pin supply line 41). At this, yarn guide 70 is upper slip of lever jack 80 (it extends on it is longitudinal on needle-bar 20).

As shown in Fig. 1 a, above lever jack 80, be furnished with lighting device 90, the common working space of its illumination flatbed knitting machine 100.

In the cross section of the amplification of the flatbed knitting machine 100 in Fig. 1 b, can find out two needle-bars 20, clamping-cutting bed vise (Klemm-Schneidbett) 21, slide 30 and yarn guide 70 and lever jack 80 and they layout about lighting device 90. Be apparent that, only before slide 30 is not located immediately at lighting device 90 time, lighting device 90 can be brought into play it for illuminating the effect completely of working space. The knitting elements that is arranged in needle-bar 20 or needle-bar 20 places below slide 30 can not be distinguished (erfassen) or only partly be distinguished due to the shadow-casting of slide. Additionally, because making illuminating of these elements, lever jack 80 and yarn guide 70 become difficulty.

In contrast to this, in Fig. 2 a, 2b, show, itself there is lighting device 33 according to the machine slide 3 of flatbed knitting machine of the present invention, its after being arranged in the example illustrating above needle-bar 4 and so orientation the whole working space in the region of slide 30 is illuminated, as in Fig. 2 a, 2b, the region A by shade shows. Alternatively, lighting device 33 also can be arranged on front needle-bar 5 tops. Or lighting device can be arranged on to two needle-bars, 4,5 tops. Can find out at this, when slide 3 is for example owing to crossing the fault occurring in the motion of needle-bar 4,5 while stopping at it, all knitting elements below slide, in needle-bar 4,5 can throw light on by this lighting device.

The lighting device 33 that is apparent that the lath that is configured to single-piece from Fig. 2 b is equipped with single illuminating device 33a, 33b. In the example illustrating, this illuminating device 33a, 33b are LED.
