Definitions
- the invention relates to a circular knitting machine with a needle cylinder arranged on a carrier of the needle cylinder with coaxially arranged toothed rim of the drive of the carrier of the needle cylinder and with a bearing body arranged on a machine bed surrounding the needle cylinder carrier in which the bearing body comprises four in pairs mutually opposite situated bearing races, two of which are situated on the needle cylinder carrier, and the other two, on the bearing body, with bearing balls situated between the bearing races, and with a part of the bearing races mounted radially and/or axially displaceably in relation to the machine bed and/or to the needle cylinder carrier.
- Knitting machines of this kind are known for instance from the patent DE 2829678 where one of the bearing races is mounted, and adapted axially to move, on a radially arranged resilient flange.
- two axially adjacent bearing races are resiliently seated, each of them on a separate radially or axially arranged flange so as to permit the bearing races to move axially or radially.
- the invention intends to remove or at least to minimize the drawbacks of the background art.
- the goal of the invention has been reached by a circular knitting machine with a heat-compensated bearing whose principle consists in that the bearing body is equipped with a pair of outer bearing races situated in a bearing ring and is situated over the toothed rim of the drive for the needle cylinder carrier and that the bearing ring is to a limited extent movable in the radial direction.
- This arrangement provides for the positioning of the bearing on an easily accessible place and for its easy exchangeability.
- the radially movable seating also permits the heat expansion of the outer bearing races with all the positive effects.
- the bearing is seated at the narrowest place of the machine bed and its seating is therefore very exact and stable.
- Another advantage of the invention consists in the possibility of arranging the bearing body so as to reduce heat transfer into the machine bed.
- the preload of the bearing and due to this also the heat generated by rolling-contact forces in the bearing increases and thus heats the outer bearing body which increases its extension and thus reduces the preload of the bearing.
- the outer bearing body automatically keeps the preload of the bearing and compensates the heat extension of the needle cylinder carrier.
- the bearing body has a pair of inner bearing races arranged in the bearing ring and is situated over the toothed rim of the needle cylinder carrier drive.
- the bearing ring is to a limited extent movable in a radial direction.
- Fig. 1 is a cross section through the machine bed with the needle cylinder carrier with the bearing, through the needle cam block carrier, needle cylinder and needle cam blocks, with the bearing body with radially arranged flange with guide grooves on its circumference
- Fig. 2 is a view from above of a guide member consisting of a pin and a cube with a circular aperture
- Fig. 3a is a detail of a horizontal section through a guide member of the Fig. 3a
- Fig. 4 is a cross section through the machine bed of the Fig. 1 with the bearing body consisting of a bearing ring, an attachment flange, and a resilient connection between these members.
- the circular knitting machine comprises a needle cylinder ⁇ carrying knitting means and fixed on a carrier 2 of the needle cylinder !.
- Coaxially arranged on the carrier 2 is a toothed rim 5 of a drive of the carrier 2 of the needle cylinder 1 and a bearing body 6 arranged on a machine bed 7 surrounding the carrier 2 of the needle cylinder 1 with four mutually opposite positioned bearing races 8a, 8b, 9a, and 9b, out of which those designed with 8a and 8b are inner bearing races whereas the other two, designed with 9a and 9b, are outer bearing races.
- the inner bearing races 8a and 8b are situated on the carrier 2 of the needle cylinder ⁇ t and the outer bearing races 9a and 9b are situated on the bearing body 6. Between the bearing races 8a, 8b, 9a, and 9b, bearing balls 6a are inserted The outer bearing races 9a and 9b are seated radially movable in relation to the bed 7 in a bearing ring 16 on the bearing ring 6 situated over the toothed rim 5 of the drive of the carrier 2 of the needle cylinder 1..
- the bearing body 6 carrying in the bearing ring 1j6 the outer bearing races 9a and 9b is by guide means connected with the bed 7 in a radially movable way. In a preferred embodiment shown in Fig.
- the guide means consist of grooves 12 provided on the circumference of the flange 17 of the bearing body 6 and cooperating with guide members inserted in them such as exactly mating cubes 3 arranged on pins 14 pressed in parallel with the machine axis in the contact surface of the bed 7 of the machine for the machine flange 17.
- the flange 17 is free to move radially in relation to the bed 7 of the knitting machine.
- the guide grooves 12 and the cubes 13 are so arranged that they have in the radial direction the play required for the mutual motion of the bearing body 6 and of the needle cylinder 1 while their play in the tangential direction is a minimal one as required for exact guiding.
- the bearing body 6 can radially expand while maintaining exact coaxial position with a carrier 3 of needle cam blocks of the needle cylinder ⁇ with the needle cam system 4.
- the axial position of the carrier 3 of needle cam blocks is adjusted by a nut 1 for the central adjustment of the stitch length which is on its inner side fitted with a thread 11a, and on its outer side with a gearing 11b into which a not represented pinion serving to adjust the stitch length enters.
- the nut 11. preferably leans against the upper surface of the flange 17 of the bearing body 6 and so achieves a more exact parallelism of the axes of the carrier 3 of needle cam blocks and of the carrier 2 of the needle cylinder ⁇ .
- Fig. 2 is a view from above on the guide means consisting of the groove 12 on the circumference of the flange 17 with the inserted cube 13 on the pin 14.
- the exact position of each cube 13 on the bed 7 can be obtained for instance by flushed boring and pinning after the adjustment of the position of the carrier 2 of the needle cylinder !
- Another preferred embodiment of the guide means in which the flushing boring is not necessary is shown in Figs. 3a, 3b.
- the pin 14 carries an eccentric 15 on which the cube 13 is set.
- Fig. 3b shows the cross section through the embodiment of Fig. 3a.
- the tangential play can be adjusted to an extent sufficient to do away with the need for flushing boring of the cube 13 with the machine bed 7.
- the play is preferably adjusted by means of the eccentric 15 in the neighbouring grooves 12 alternately on the remote side of the grooves 12 in such a manner that the bearing body 6 is free radially to expand but locked against the shifting and tangential rotary displacements.
- the eccentrics 15 can conveniently adjust also the position of the bearing body 6 in relation to the bed 7 of the knitting machine.
- the flange 17 leans against the machine bed 7 only in the area of the recess 17a. This reduces the heat transfer from the bearing body 6 into the machine bed 7, and the temperature of the bearing body 6 comes near to the temperature of the carrier 2 of the needle cylinder JL Due to this, the radial extension of the inner bearing races 8a, 8b is practically the same as that of the bearing ring 16 with the outer bearing races 9a, 9b, and the bearing shows no increased load in heated machine. An analogical mutual approach exists in the heat extension of the nut V ⁇ _ and the bearing body 6 so that the nut 1J. then can be led more exactly by the guide recess 11c which improves the precision of the stitch length setting. Fig.
- FIG. 4 shows another preferred example of embodiment of the knitting machine with the heat-compensated bearing according to the invention.
- the function is identical with the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 but for the fact that the bearing body 6 consists of the bearing ring 16 connected by a resilient connecting member 18 with the flange 17 fixed by bolts 19 with the machine bed 7.
- the connecting member 18 is resilient in the radial direction and permits the heat extension of the bearing ring 16. Its reduced cross section and height considerably cut the heat transfer from the bearing ring 16 into the machine bed 7 so that the extension of the bearing ring 16 equals that of the inner bearing races 8a, 8b.
- the increased heat resistance of the connecting member 8 further increases the self-adjusting function of the bearing load.
- the bearing ring 16 increases its temperature and extends, thus reducing the preload.
- the heat and operation conditions can be conveniently proposed so as to ensure a constant preload of the bearing regardless of the variations in the machine temperature.
- the carrier 3 of needle cam blocks is shown without the setting nut. This embodiment will be used as a rule in double-bed knitting machines. It is self-evident that the arrangement with the bearing body 6 shown in Fig. 4 admits the use of the carrier 2 of the needle bed 1 with the setting nut 11
- a part of the carrier 2 of the needle bed 1 is made as radially resilient compensation member, preferably U-shaped.
- This compensation member has resilient arms 20 and a connecting annulus 21 The elasticity of the compensation member limits both radial and torsional heat deformations of the carrier 2 of the needle cylinder 1
- the bearing can be so arranged that the bearing body, situated over the toothed rim of the drive for the needle cylinder carrier, has a pair of inner bearing races situated in a bearing ring and that the bearing ring is to a limited extent radially movable.
- the bearing body is mounted on the needle cylinder carrier by means of a member with reduced cross section so as to limit the heat transfer from the needle cylinder carrier into the bearing ring and into the machine bed.
- the bearing body also comprises a substantially radial flange fitted on its ' inner circumference with grooves into which guide members mounted on the needle cylinder carrier enter.
- the guide members are made equivalently to those of the shown embodiment.
- the radial flange of the bearing body is equipped with a recess by means of which it is mounted on the needle cylinder carrier.
- the contact surface between the needle cylinder carrier and the recess of the radial flange of the bearing body is shaped as an annulus, and a gap exists between the remaining surface of the radial flange and the needle cylinder carrier.
- the bearing ring fitted with a pair of inner bearing races is connected by means of a resilient connecting member with a flange fixed on the needle cylinder carrier, and the bearing ring is an integral part of the bearing body.
- the resilient connecting means is made as a thin-walled cylinder coaxial with the axis of the machine.
