Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for removing one or more stitches from a knitted manufactured product, weaving needles of a textile machine and for their transfer and placement on other textile organs, in the same way machine or another.
  • cover we conceive a condition conceived by a momentary coupling between the head of a punch and that of a needle, one on the extension of the other, with no solution of continuity, such as to allow transfer of a needle stitch to the punches, and / or vice versa, without obstacle.
  • Said punches are in an even number to the number of weaving needles loaded with the meshes to be taken, shaped so as to be able to be hooked by the head on the hook of the needles, and grouped in blocks, usually called "combs", each of which comprises a predetermined number punches.
  • combs each of which comprises a predetermined number punches.
  • the movement of said combs is very difficult and most often manual, it requires good experience in handling these textile organs, and therefore requires the use of specialized labor and involves a high cost of manufacturing the finished product.
  • their application to circular machines is difficult to achieve given the complexity of managing the mechanical organs necessary for the automatic conduct of said operations.
  • the main purpose of the present invention is to eliminate said drawbacks.
  • the number of meshes thus removed is indifferent, in a manner compatible with the structural characteristics of the manufactured product and of the textile machine in charge of its formation: said meshes can also be sampled by adjacent mesh groups, each group being formed by a predetermined number of meshes.

  • Fig. 16 shows the means of FIG. 13 in the final phase of pre
  • FIG. 19 schematically represents the means for removing the mesh with the respective movement members, according to another embodiment
  • Fig. 20 schematically represents the means used to control the means of FIG. 16
  • Fig. 21 schematically represents a group of sampling members with means of movement in two directions orthogonal to each other.
  • the device for carrying out said operational process comprises cam means, per se already known, for the movement of said needles (1), and further comprises means for the removal and transfer of said meshes (3), one by one, with a fundamentally flat element (6), called “punch", for each mesh (3) to be sampled and transferred, which is below provided with a groove (60) with a concavity fundamentally turned towards the head of a needle (1) loaded with the mesh (3) to allow the narrow approach to the hook of the needle (1) corresponding so as to achieve the cover of the needle (1) and the element (6) by closing the valve (5): said punch (6) being expediently supported by a member (61) to which it is connected so as to result in fixed or otherwise longitudinally sliding action against it.
  • each of the punches (6) is provided with a heel (64) slaved to an external control organ for activate the movement, such as a cam (63) or a control bar (65) to obtain the movement of the punches (6) in sequence or all together.
  • the downward movement of the punch (6) can be exploited to obtain the corresponding lowering of the respective needle (1) after contact between the punch (6) and the needle (1).
  • Each punch (6) can be provided with any member for interfacing the punch with a corresponding control member.
  • the distance between two adjacent punches (6) is equal to the pitch or center distance between said needles (1) or a multiple of said pitch.
  • Said punches (6) are all of the same length or of a different length, in relation to the type of processing of the meshes (3) to be executed. More precisely, with reference to FIGS. 15A and 15B of the appended drawings, if intended to carry out the simultaneous removal of all the meshes (3) of the manufactured product, said punches (6) are all of the same length, so that the respective ends free (7), that is to say those intended for the coupling of cover with the respective needles (1), always result at the same level with respect to the felling plane (4) of the machine.
  • the punches (6) adjacent to each other are of a different length, so that the free ends (7) of the punches (6) operating the removal meshes (3) result at a different level, compared to the felling plane (4) of the machine, from that of the other punches (6) of the group. This avoids an'eccessive expansion of the meshes (3) thus treated.
  • said punches (6) are fixed to the support (61).
  • the movement of the punches (6) is obtained with the corresponding movement of the support (61), which is actionable, in turn, by means of producing cylinders and guided on corresponding or similar rails.
  • said punches (6) are housed one by one in corresponding fundamentally rectilinear grooves (62) of the support (61), so as to allow bidirectional movement in the respective longitudinal direction relative to the support (61).
  • the movement of the punches (6) relative to the support (61) is obtainable with cam means (63) or with a control bar (65), acting on the relative heels (64) or equivalent bodies, according to whether one wishes to carry out the movement of the punches (6) one by one, in sequence, or their simultaneous translation from and to the textile head of the machine.
  • said grooves (62) can have different shape and development from those illustrated in the figures of the accompanying drawings.
  • the movement of the punches (6) for carrying out the removal and transfer of the meshes (3) is achievable by combining the movement of the support (61), for the displacements of major amplitude, with that of the punches (6) relative to the support (61), for displacements of minor amplitude. In this way it is also possible to differentiate the relative displacements between the different punches of the support and / or to select the punches to be moved.
  • said support (61) is subdivided into several separate sections, each of which with a predetermined number of punches (6), so as to further differentiate the movement of the punches (6) of the device and thus enlarge subsequently the range of mesh withdrawals (3) that can be carried out, in order to obtain a greater number of possible machining operations.
  • Each of said punches (6) can also be shaped so as to present a rod with the axis inclined relative to the portion of the anterior end (7), as illustrated in Figg. 13 and 14 of the accompanying drawings.
  • means are provided for retaining each of said meshes (3) in a fixed and predetermined position on the corresponding punch (6).
  • Said means are shaped, according to a first embodiment, by a recess (9) which is provided on each of said punches (6) at a predetermined distance from the respective free end (7) and it is intended to retain the corresponding mesh (3) removed by the effect of the inherent elasticity of this one.
  • said means for retaining the mesh (3) on the punch (6) are formed by a blade (8) placed, on command, below the mesh (3) invested on the respective punch (6) so as to prevent spontaneous release.
  • Said blade (8) can be associated with a corresponding control member which consists, for example, of a pile (80) intended to cause rotation thereof around a pivot (81) for connecting the blade (8 ) to a corresponding support member (82).
  • the function performed by the aforementioned pile (80) can otherwise be performed by a cam pivoting about an axis parallel to that of the punch (6), or by a realizing cylinder, acting on the blade (8). This makes it possible to prevent the fabric from slipping out of the punches (6) during the mesh transfer operations (3). Means are also advantageously provided for releasing each mesh (3) from the respective punch (6).
  • Said mesh release means (3) consist, according to a first embodiment, by a flat element (13) acting on the mesh (3) invested on the punch (6), so as to cause the movement thereof. pushed towards the free end of the punch (6), and thus the transfer to the textile member where it is intended, such as for example the needle (10) or the tip (11) illustrated in the figures of the appended drawings.
  • a pile (12) pivoting around a pivot (92) for connecting the pile (12) is provided.
  • said mesh release means (3) consist of a pile with a basically straight axis (14) in the free end is intended to slide adjacent to the corresponding end of the punch (6), which is conveniently shaped with a rectilinear groove (96) to allow the approach of the pile (14) so as to provide the covering, respectively the uncovering, of the respective recess (9) and so as to be inserted inside the mesh (3) by expanding it, thus allowing unloading.
  • the free end of said pile (14) is wedge-shaped and folded laterally so as to result oriented towards the punch (6).
