The present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to fig. 1 to 8. The improved integrated bottom lifting device is used for lifting the bottom of a knitted piece of a computerized flat knitting machine and is installed on the computerized flat knitting machine. As shown in fig. 1 and 3, the bottom raising device comprises a bottom raising comb 16, a locking wire 17, a lifting mechanism and a wire feeding mechanism. The lifting mechanism is fixed with the flat knitting machine body through the first connecting plate 2 and the second connecting plate 3.

The bottom lifting comb 16 is provided with a plurality of bottom lifting needles 18 which are arranged at intervals along a straight line, the top of each bottom lifting needle 18 is provided with a thread passing hole 21, and the blocking thread 17 passes through the thread passing hole 21. The lifting mechanism is fixedly connected with the bottom lifting comb 16 and can drive the bottom lifting comb 16 to move up and down. The wire feeding mechanism is connected with a blocking wire 17, and the blocking wire 17 can be driven by the wire feeding mechanism to penetrate into the wire penetrating hole 21 or be drawn out of the wire penetrating hole. The lock wire 17 may be a metal wire having a certain mechanical strength such as a steel wire, and a spring steel wire is preferably used. The spring steel wire is a superfine and elastic steel wire, the diameter of the spring steel wire is between 0.3 and 0.8mm, the spring steel wire has good tensile strength, elastic limit, toughness and fatigue resistance, the spring steel wire is in a linear state in a natural state, can be bent under the action of the outer edge, and can restore the linear state again after the external force is removed. The spring steel wire can be bent along with the structural distribution of the bottom lifting device and is restored to be in a linear state when the coil is blocked, so that the coil blocking effect is achieved, the space occupied by the locking wire 17 can be saved, and the bottom lifting device occupies less space of the flat knitting machine.

The bottom lifting mechanism according to the present embodiment includes a lifting motor 1, a first timing belt 4, a second timing belt 5, a transmission shaft 9, a first slider 10, a second slider 11, a first linear guide 12, and a second linear guide 13.

The lifting motor 1 is fixed with the first connecting plate 2 through a lifting motor fixing plate 23 and a lifting motor fixing stud 24. The lifting motor fixing plate 23 is fixed with the first connecting plate 2 through the motor fixing stud 24, and the lifting motor 1 is fixed on the lifting motor fixing plate 23, so that a certain distance is reserved between the lifting motor 1 and the first connecting plate 2. The output end of the lifting motor 1 is in transmission connection with the first synchronous belt 4, and the output end of the lifting motor 1 is positioned in the interval between the output end of the lifting motor and the first connecting plate 2. The rotation of the lifting motor 1 drives the rotation of the first synchronous belt through the output end thereof.

The first synchronous belt 4 is in transmission with the transmission shaft 9, and the transmission shaft 9 is in transmission with the second synchronous belt. Specifically, the first synchronous belt 4 drives the first rotating wheel 6 fixed with the transmission shaft 9 to drive the transmission shaft 9 to rotate. Both ends of the transmission shaft 9 are connected with the first connecting plate 2 and the second connecting plate 3 through bearings so that the transmission shaft 9 can rotate. A second rotating wheel 7 is fixed at the other end of the transmission shaft 9, a third rotating wheel 8 is further fixed on the second connecting plate 3, and a second synchronous belt 5 is arranged between the second rotating wheel 7 and the third rotating wheel. The rotation of the transmission shaft 9 drives the second synchronous belt 5 to move through the second rotating wheel 7.

A first slider 10 is fixed to the first timing belt 4, and the first slider 10 is movable up and down along a first linear guide 12. The first slider 10 and the first fixing block 22 are positioned at both sides of the first timing belt 4 and fixed to the first timing belt 4 by bolts. When the first timing belt 4 moves, the first slider 10 is moved up and down along the first linear guide 12. The first timing belt 4 is disposed in parallel with the first linear guide 12.

A second slider 11 is fixed to the second timing belt 5, and the second slider 11 is movable up and down along a second linear guide 13. The second slider 11 and the second fixing block 25 are located on both sides of the second timing belt 5, and are fixed to the second timing belt 5 by bolts. When the second timing belt 5 moves, the second slider 11 is driven to move up and down along the second linear guide 13. The second synchronous belt 5 is arranged in parallel with the second linear guide 13.

Further, a first fixing plate 14 is fixed to the other side of the first slider 10. A second fixing plate 15 is fixed to the other side of the second slider 11. The first and second fixing plates 14 and 15 are fixed to a bottom comb 16.

The whole lifting mechanism works as follows: the rotation of elevator motor 1 drives the motion of first hold-in range 4 through the output, and first hold-in range 4 drives second hold-in range 5 simultaneous equidirectional motion through transmission shaft 9. The movement of the first synchronous belt 4 drives the first fixed block 10 fixed with the first synchronous belt to move along the first linear guide rail 12. The second synchronous belt 5 moves to drive the second slide block 11 fixed with the second synchronous belt to move along the second linear guide rail 13. The first slider 10 and the second slider 11 can drive the first fixing plate 14 and the second fixing plate 15 fixed with the first slider to move up and down, and further drive the bottom-raising comb 16 fixed with the first slider to move up and down, so as to complete the lifting of the bottom-raising comb 16.

One end of the bottom comb 16 is an arc end 20, and a guide hole is arranged at the arc edge of the arc end 20, and the guide hole is similar to the arc end 20 in shape and is arc-shaped. The locking thread 17 is arranged in the guide hole in a penetrating way, and the guide hole plays a guiding role for the locking thread 17, so that the locking thread 17 can more easily penetrate through the thread penetrating hole 21 on the base needle 18. The arc-shaped guide hole can enable the locking wire 17 to be in an arc-shaped state, and excessive bending cannot be generated, so that the wire feeding mechanism can drive the locking wire 17 more smoothly. The locking wire 17 is horizontal when passing out of the guide hole, and can pass through the wire-passing hole 21 more easily.

In the conventional use of the starter needle 18, which has a generally circular cross section, it is difficult to fix the starter needle 18 to the starter comb 16 by aligning the thread passing hole 21 of the starter needle 18 having a circular cross section.

In response to the above problem, the starter needle 18 used comprises a rectangular end 30 of rectangular hole cross section, and a circular arc end 31 exhibiting a circular arc shape. The arc end 1 is provided with a threading hole 21. In particular to a circular arc end 31 obtained by processing one end of a metal strip material with a rectangular section. The distance between the vertex of the edge of the threading hole 21 arranged at the arc end 31 and the vertex of the arc quotient 31 is 0.3mm, the specification of the rectangular section is 0.7 x 1.5mm, namely the thickness is 0.7mm, and the width is 1.5 mm. The length of the whole bottom raising needle is 25-30 mm.

The threading hole 21 is a cylinder having a diameter 1.3 to 1.5 times the diameter of the locking wire 17. Specifically, the diameter of the used locking wire 17 is 0.7mm, and the diameter of the threading hole is 0.9 mm. Through experimental tests, when the diameter of the threading hole 21 is 1.3-1.5 times of that of the blocking wire 17, the blocking wire can be easily threaded into the threading hole 21, and the strength of the arc end of the base needle 18 can be ensured.

Alternatively, the threading hole 21 is frustum-shaped, i.e., one end is a circle with a larger diameter and the other end is a circle with a smaller diameter. The central axis of the threading hole 21 is perpendicular to the plane of the circular arc. The circular arc-shaped arrangement of one end of the bottom raising needle 18 can prevent the bottom raising needle 18 from damaging the yarn when in use. The larger diameter end of the frustoconical threading hole 21 is threaded into the locking thread 17, which makes threading easier. When the locking wire protrudes from the previous wire through hole 21, the locking wire 17 may incline to a certain degree and does not vertically penetrate into the next wire through hole 21, and as the diameter of the penetrating end is larger, as long as the penetrating end of the locking wire 17 is within the diameter range, the locking wire 17 can penetrate out from the end with the smaller diameter of the wire through hole through the side wall of the cone frustum during the penetrating, so that a certain fault tolerance rate is achieved. More specifically, one end of the threading hole 21 is 1.5 to 2 times the diameter of the locking wire 17, and the other end of the threading hole is 1.3 to 1.5 times the diameter of the locking wire 17.

A concave part 19 is arranged on the bottom lifting comb 16, and the concave part 19 is rectangular and is matched with the section of the rectangular end of the bottom lifting needle 18. The threading holes 21 of the knock-up pins 18 are aligned by placing the knock-up pins 18 in the recesses 19. It is easier to seal off the wire 17 when it passes through the wire feed hole 21. When the lock-up needles 18 are fixed to the lock-up comb 16, the side of the thread passing hole 21 having a large area is directed in the direction in which the lock-up thread 17 passes.

In the existing wire feeding mechanism, the same as the lifting mechanism is generally fixed on the flat knitting machine body, in such an arrangement, when the lifting mechanism is lifted, the wire feeding mechanism needs to perform wire feeding and wire returning operations at the same time, the lifting mechanism and the wire feeding mechanism are required to have high synchronism, and if not, the lock wire can be bent or wire returned and separated from the wire penetrating hole 21 of part of the base needle 18. The utility model discloses in, wire feeder and play end comb 16 are fixed mutually, can go up and down along with the lift of play end comb 16, need not consider with elevating system's synchronism.

In this embodiment, the wire feeding mechanism includes two pairs of driving wire feeding wheels 27 and driven wire feeding wheels 28 which are oppositely arranged, the driving wire feeding wheels 27 are driven by the wire feeding motor 25 to rotate, and the driving wire feeding wheels 27 and the driven wire feeding wheels 28 clamp the lock wire 17, when the wire feeding motor 25 rotates, the driving wire feeding wheels 27 rotate to drive the driven wire feeding wheels 28 to rotate in opposite directions, so as to forward convey the lock wire 17. The rotation of the wire feeding motor 27 drives one of the driving wire feeding wheels 27 to rotate, and the two driving wire feeding wheels 27 are in gear transmission. Further, on the surface of the driving wire feeding wheel 27 and/or the driven wire feeding wheel 28, there is provided an annular groove for passing the blocking wire 17, so as to increase the contact area of the blocking wire 17 with the driving wire feeding wheel 27 and the driven wire feeding wheel 28, and to make the movement of the blocking wire 2 more stable. In this embodiment, the driving wire feeding wheel 27 and the driven wire feeding wheel 28 are provided with annular grooves. The wire feeding motor 25 is fixed to the lower portion of the rising comb 16 by a rod having an i-shaped groove. The bar having the i-shaped groove is fixed to the lower portion of the comb 16.

The wire feeder in question also comprises a support tube 29, which is a plastic tube, in which support tube 29 the lock wire 17 moves during use. Further, the support tube 29 passes through a plurality of sensors 26 for detecting the position of the lock wire and providing a signal for rotation of the wire feed motor 25. The sensor 26 is also attached to a rod having an i-slot attached to the wire feed motor 25. The sensor 26 used is an annular proximity sensitive switch sensor.
