Yarn nozzle driving device and flat knitting machine

Technical Field

The utility model relates to a flat knitting machine technical field especially relates to a yarn mouth drive arrangement, in addition, the utility model discloses still relate to the flat knitting machine who adopts this kind of yarn mouth drive arrangement.

Background

A flat knitting machine is one of knitting machines, generally refers to a machine which uses a transverse knitting needle bed to perform knitting, and is an automatic knitting machine with high technical content in the knitting machines. Among them, the yarn feeder is an important member of a flat knitting machine for guiding a yarn into knitting.

Among the current flat knitting machine, the removal of yarn mouth needs to rely on the aircraft nose to the cooperation yarn mouth electro-magnet open and shut and accomplish, the aircraft nose need move earlier to yarn mouth position department when weaving, then lays down the cooperation that realizes yarn mouth and aircraft nose through the yarn mouth electro-magnet, and the aircraft nose passes through the yarn mouth electro-magnet and drives yarn mouth synchronous motion. When the yarn nozzle moves out of the knitting area, the yarn nozzle electromagnet acts to separate the yarn nozzle from the yarn nozzle, so that the yarn nozzle is separated from the machine head. In the yarn nozzle driving structure, the movement of the yarn nozzle completely depends on the driving of the machine head, and the yarn nozzle driving structure is not suitable for weaving inlaid fabrics in batches. In addition, when the machine head drives the yarn nozzle, the machine head generally needs to move to the position of the yarn nozzle in an idle stroke, so that the weaving efficiency is reduced.

In order to solve the problem of efficiency of intarsia knitting, a technology of driving a yarn nozzle to move by using a servo motor is developed in the industry in recent years. Chinese patent publication No. CN 105970463B discloses a flat knitting machine with a self-propelled yarn feeder, in which a motor for driving the yarn feeder is horizontally disposed, the power output direction of the motor is changed by a pair of meshed bevel gears, and then the yarn feeder is driven to move by a synchronous belt structure. In the structure, the requirements on the machining and assembling precision of the bevel gear and the gear box body are high, the machining difficulty is high, and the production cost is high. In addition, because the motor is arranged horizontally, the motor occupies a large space in the running direction of the machine head, and the length of the whole machine is greatly lengthened.

Chinese patent publication No. CN 208501217U discloses a yarn feeder driving mechanism, in which a motor for driving a yarn feeder is disposed at one end of a frame in a stepped structure, and the motor drives the yarn feeder to move back and forth by a synchronous belt structure. However, since the motors are centrally disposed at one end of the frame, the handpiece can be removed only from the end where the motors are not disposed when the handpiece needs to be disassembled for maintenance. Under some conditions, the machine head can only be moved out along the running direction of the machine head but not be moved backwards when the machine head is in failure, if the machine head moves towards the direction of the motor, the motor is vertically arranged, the motor shaft is downward, the local part of the motor is higher than the top surface of the top rod, the motor can block the movement of the machine head, the machine head can only be detached from the flat knitting machine by detaching all the motors or directly detaching the machine head, and the maintenance workload is greatly increased.
