Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to circular knitting machines and in particular to a double knit circular knitting machine having a dial which can be lifted a sufficient distance for facilitating removal and replacement of the needle cylinder.
- It is generally known to construct a double knit circular knitting machine in such a manner to facilitate more ready replacement of the needle cylinder and sinker dial without the necessity of hoisting the dial by a chain block and the like. This known type of knitting machine includes a circular dial supported adjacent the opening in the upper end of the needle cylinder. A rotatable support shaft is supported at the upper end of a frame support member and extends downward to a position adjacent the circular opening in the upper end of the needle cylinder. A vertically extending support sleeve surrounds the support shaft and is supported at the upper end on a frame support member for telescopic vertical movement relative to the support shaft. The lower end of the support sleeve is fixed to the dial for supporting same. A dial control, in the form of a rack and pinion, is provided for lifting and lowering the support sleeve along the support shaft to lift the dial a sufficient distance to permit removal and replacement of the needle cylinder. However, this type of lifting and lowering control makes adjustment between the dial and needle cylinder difficult.
- It has been found desirable to form the dial so that the needle cylinder can be more easily removed through the formed space above the needle cylinder when the dial is raised. Additionally, after removal and replacement of component parts, the dial must be set to exact specifications. Thus, it is desirable to form the dial so that it may not only be more easily removed, but also readily inserted and positioned in an exact and properly adjusted position.
- It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a circular knitting machine which is constructed to facilitate more ready replacement of the needle cylinder and wherein the needle dial can be replaced and reset more exactly than heretofore accomplished.
- These and other objects and advantages of the present invention are accomplished in a circular knitting machine which is constructed for facilitating ready replacement of the needle cylinder and dial with more exact replacement and resetting of the dial.
- The knitting machine includes a frame and a bed plate fixed on the frame. A needle cylinder is supported for rotation on the bed plate and includes needles supported for vertical movement therewithin. The needle cylinder has a circular opening at the upper end. A frame support member extends in spaced relationship above the upper end of the needle cylinder. A vertically extending rotatable support shaft is supported at the upper end on the frame support member and extends downward to a position adjacent the opening in the upper end of the needle cylinder. The shaft has a diametral stepped lower end portion.
- The needle dial is supported adjacent the opening in the upper end of the needle cylinder. The dial has a shaft engaging upper surface and an upper dial cam holder engaging surface lying substantially flush with each other. The needle dial orifice is dimensioned substantially equal to the stepped portion on the support shaft for receiving the stepped portion of the shaft therethrough to aid in positioning same thereat.
- Vertically extending support sleeve means surrounds the support shaft and is supported at the upper end on the frame support member for telescopic vertical movement relative to the support shaft. The lower end of the support sleeve is fixed to the dial for supporting same. Dial control means lifts and lowers the support sleeve means along the support shaft to thereby lift and lower the dial fixed to the support sleeve. Dial control means is operable to lift the dial a sufficient distance to permit removal and replacement of the needle cylinder.
- Sliding removal of the needle dial is facilitated because the shaft engaging upper surface and upper dial cam holder engaging surface lie substantially in the same plane, i.e. flush with each other. Additionally, resetting of the needle dial is facilitated because the needle dial orifice is dimensioned substantially equal to the stepped portion of the shaft to aid in positioning the needle dial thereat.
- In order that the present invention may be more readily understood, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings, in which:-
- Figure 1 is a front, somewhat schematic vertical sectional view of the upper portion of a knitting machine in accordance with the present invention;
- Figure 2 is an enlarged sectional view of component members of the needle cylinder and needle dial;
- Figure 3 is an enlarged somewhat schematic sectional view of the pneumatic air control means which detachably secures to the support shaft; and
- Figure 4 is a horizontal sectional view taken along the line 4-4 in Figure 1 and showing the direction of removal of the needle cylinder and dial laterally therefrom.
- Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to Figure 1, there is illustrated a double knit circular knitting machine in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. A
bed plate 1 is supported on the upper ends of preferably three equally spaced support legs 2 and 3 only two of which are illustrated. A knitting unit, broadly indicated at 12, is affixed on thebed plate 1 and operates to knit tubular fabric which typically is wound flattened onto a roll or other take-up apparatus (not shown) positioned below theknitting unit 12. - A first large, annular driven
gear 4 is rotatably held in thebed plate 1. The needle cylinder 6 is positioned on the upper side of the drivengear 4 and rests on a replaceable intermediate gear 5 positioned between the drivengear 4 andbed plate 1. The provision of the intermediate gear 5 between the drivengear 4 and thebed plate 1 facilitates replacement of the needle cylinder 6. In more conventional knitting machines, several component parts, including the first large driven gear and an intermediate gear are replaced when the needle cylinder 6 is changed. In the structure of the present invention, the needle cylinder 6 and intermediate gear 5 only have to be changed when changing the needle cylinder 6 for changing the diameter of the needle cylinder. In the present invention the large drivengear 4 meshes with a driving gear 8 secured on the knitting machine drive shaft 7. A power source (not shown) conventionally positioned in the knitting machine, provides the necessary force for rotating the drive shaft 7. A second driven gear 10 is positioned at the top of the drive shaft 7 and meshes with a second large annular gear 9. The drive shaft 7 is covered with a cylindrical protective member 11 for protection of the shaft against contaminants and other harmful effects. - As illustrated, the
knitting unit 12 includes acylinder needle area 13,dial needle area 14, and the usual yarn carriers (not shown). Thecylinder needle area 13 includes a plurality of needle groves formed in the outer periphery of the needle cylinder 6 and includes a circular opening at the upper end thereof. Cylinder needles (not shown) are mounted for vertical sliding movement along the formed grooves. Needle activating cams are mounted on the inner surface of acam holder 15 for controlling movement of the needle cylinder 6 during knitting. Thecam holder 15 is supported on the upper part of acircular cam ring 16 which is fixed to thebed plate 1. - The
dial needle area 14 includes dial element means including adial 17 having dial grooves therein. Dial needles (not shown) are mounted in the dial grooves for radially sliding along the formed dial grooves. Dial needle activating cams are supported on the lower surface of adial cam holder 18 and control movement of the dial needles. The needle cylinder 6 anddial 17 are rotated at the same speed. As illustrated in figure 2, thedial 17 is fixed to the planar underside surface of a diametrically enlarged,portion 20a of ahollow support shaft 20 bybolts 21. Thedial 17 includes a shaft engagingupper surface 17a which engages the lower end of the stepped portion 20b on the lower end of thesupport shaft 20 and a dial cam holder engaging surface 17b. Thesurface 17a of theneedle dial 17 which engages the lower portion of thesupport shaft 20 is constructed flush with the upper dial cam holder engaging surface 17b defining the upper surface. This structure facilitates sliding of the dial needles. Precision measurement is maintained even without finite adjustment of theneedle dial 17 when fixing thedial 17 to thesupport shaft 20. In the portion of thesupport shaft 20 fitted into theneedle dial 17, the needle dial orifice is approximately equal to that of the diametrically small stepped portion of thesupport shaft 20. The size of the small stepped portion 20b of thesupport shaft 20 is about 10 mm regardless of nominal size. - As illustrated in Figure 1, the
support shaft 20 is rotatably supported by upper andlower bearing assemblies 22 and 23 which are held on upper and lower portions of vertically extending support sleeve means in the form of a cylindersupport sleeve member 19b which surrounds thesupport shaft 20. The second large gear 9 is fixed at the upper end of thesupport shaft 20 by a lock nut 25 having akey 24 extending therethrough. The upper end of thesupport sleeve 19b member is supported for telescopic vertical movement relative to thesupport shaft 20. The lower end of the support sleeve member 19a is fixed to thedial 17. - As illustrated, the
support sleeve member 19b is vertically slidable in an outer cylinder 27a extending downwardly from aframe support member 27. Theframe support member 27 is diametrically enlarged at an upper portion and is fixed to an outercylinder support frame 28. The outercylinder support frame 28 is held by threesupports bed plate 1, only two of which are shown in Figure 1. - Dial control means for lifting and lowering the
support sleeve member 19b along thesupport shaft 20 and thereby lifting and lowering thedial 17 fixed to thesupport sleeve member 19b is operable to lift thedial 17 a sufficient distance to permit removal and replacement of the needle cylinder 6. The dial control means includes a driving gear 29 which meshes with a gear 26 and avertical shaft 30 supported by theframe support member 27. The gear 26 is supported on the upper end of thesupport sleeve member 19b and operates to raise and lower the support sleeve member. - Power air introducing means indicated generally as 35 (Figure 3) is provided for introducing air into the
support shaft 20. As illustrated, thesupport shaft 20 is hollow and includes a hollow formedportion 20c (Figure 2) in which air can be forced therethrough. As illustrated in greater detail in figure 3, the powerair introducing means 35 comprises a stationaryvertical shaft 36, anupper housing 37 for containing electrical terminals, a bearingassembly 38 positioned at an air introducing-end port, and alower bearing housing 39 having an air introducing-out port. Theshaft 36 is supported at its upper end by the bearingassembly 38. The bearingassembly 38 is fixed to acover 34. Thelower bearing housing 39 includes abearing 40. Theupper housing 37 contains anelectrical terminal member 42 which is biased by a spring 41. Theelectrical terminal member 42 communicates with the top of the stationaryvertical shaft 36. As shown in figure 1, alamp 43 andtransformer 44 are positioned in the lower portion of the stationaryvertical shaft 36. Thetransformer 44 is fixed to the stationaryvertical shaft 36. As thedrive shaft 20 rotates, the bearinghousing 39 rotates around the stationaryvertical shaft 36. Catchingnumber 45, (Figure 3) prevents thevertical shaft 36 from rotating. - When the gauge or nominal size of the knitting machine is to be changed, the
needle dial 17 is raised upward for allowing clearance to remove the needle cylinder. This is accomplished by turning thevertical shaft 30 by means of a tool, such as a hexagonal wrench. As thevertical shaft 30 is turned, it rotatively drives the cylinder gear 26 meshing with the driving gear 29. As the gears turn,needle dial 17 is moved upward about 10 mm and a space is provided above the needle cylinder 6. - The
bolts 21 retaining theneedle dial 17 to thesupport shaft 20 then are removed, and theneedle dial 17 and needle cylinder 6 are removed as one unit (Figure 4). Additionally, theair introduction assembly 35 is removed beforehand by loosening the nut 46 at the air introducing-out port and removing the assembly downward (Figure 3). - The present invention offers several benefits over other prior art apparatus. Not only is the needle cylinder 6 and
needle dial 17 removed without the need of using chain block, but thedial needle 17 can be reset with little difficulty. Because both the shaft engagingupper surface 17a and upper dial cam holder engaging surface 17b are substantially flush with each other, removal of the needle cylinder 6 is facilitated. Additionally, theneedle dial 17 is positioned readily without difficulty during reassembly because the needle dial orifice is dimensioned substantially equal to the stepped portion of thesupport shaft 20 for receiving the stepped portion of theshaft 20 therethrough to aid in positioning theneedle dial 17.
