Definitions

  • the invention relates to a knitting machine needle and a needle set containing at least one such knitting machine needle.
  • a needle is known whose needle body between the foot and the hook is formed by a double-deflected web. Parts of the bridge have a changing height.
  • the needle body has generously sized openings, so that only after the needle back and after the needle top each have a narrow web remains. Even such needles have proven to some extent. However, all needles have limits that come to light especially at high speeds. There are then broken hooks. In the case of needle sets containing knitting machine needles with different foot positions, the hook breaks tend to accumulate, particularly in needles whose feet are particularly close to the hook.
  • the knitting machine needle according to the invention has a needle body with a web-like, extending between the foot and the hook portion which is provided with a deflection, which is also referred to as a meandering bow. In the region of this deflection at least one recess is formed. This recess gives the deflection a special flexibility and damping effect. It has been found that the required stability of the needle shank can be obtained with this measure and, on the other hand, the tendency to hook fractures is drastically reduced even in the case of strong impact loads on the needle. It can thereby significantly increase the life of the affected knitting machine needles. This is especially true for needle families or needle sets, in which individual needles have low foot-hook spacing. Especially with such needles where only a single meander arc, i. a single deflection between the foot and the needle is present, the recess proves to be particularly positive in terms of durability and shock resistance.
  • the deflection can be formed by a shaft-shaped shaft section or also by adjoining respective straight-formed sections (first, second and third sections) which enclose an obtuse or a right angle with one another.
  • the respective sections have mismatched heights, with the height of the first and third sections perpendicular to the back of the needle and the height of the second section preferably approximately parallel to it.
  • the height of the needle body is preferably three to five times the height of the individual sections.
  • the recess is formed as a slot and extends interrupted or uninterrupted over the entire deflection.
  • the recess may be longer than the z-shaped deflected area, i. it may extend beyond the deflected area to one or both sides, in particular it may extend into or under the area of the foot.
  • the recess can also be provided from a series of circular recesses or otherwise shaped recesses. It is possible to form the slot as a complete, open breakthrough as well as to fill it with a damping (energy-depleting) material. Alternatively, it is possible not to form the slot as a complete breakthrough but only as a one- or two-sided countersink or gutter. Such embodiments result in slightly higher shaft stiffness than full penetration embodiments.
  • Filling the apertures or slot recesses (one-sided or two-sided recess with bottom) with damping material also has the advantage that the slot does not fill with foreign matter such as oil and dirt, which may affect the vibration characteristics of the shaft.
  • the properties of the knitting machine needle then remain unchanged over the operating time of the same, at least as far as they are determined by the properties of the shaft.
  • the needle according to the invention can have a plurality of deflections or meanders and a plurality of feet. It has proven to be advantageous that, depending on the parameters in the knitting machine and the knitting conditions individual deflections are provided regardless of their position to the foot with recesses according to the invention. In other cases, all deflections may be provided with recesses according to the invention. As a result, needles of a needle family are provided with recesses according to the invention at different points.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a knitting machine needle 1, as can be used in particular for high-speed knitting machines. It has a flat needle body 2, which is followed by a foot 3 of equal thickness, which protrudes at right angles from a narrow, the needle top firmly laying strip-shaped surface 4 away. Parallel to this, a narrow strip-shaped needle back 5 is formed on the opposite side of the needle body 2. Both the surface 4 and the needle back 5 are interrupted by recesses 6, 7, 8, 9 in such a way that the needle body 2 in a sense by meandering adjoining webs 11, 12, 13, 14 is formed. The height NH of the needle body extends from the surface 4 to the needle back 5.
  • the needle body 2 To the needle body 2 includes a shaft 15 which carries a hook 16 at the end.
  • the shaft 15 is formed straight straight and tapers at its end to the hook 16 back.
  • a pivotally mounted tongue 17 may be provided between the needle body 2 and the shaft 15.
  • a deflection 18 (meander) is formed, which connects the web 11 with the shaft 15 offset parallel to it.
  • the diverter includes a first section 21, a second section 22 and a third section 23, the section 21 being part of the shaft 15 and the section 23 being part of the web 11.
  • the sections 21, 22, 23 each enclose each other at about a right angle and they have, as is apparent from Figure 3, approximately the same height H.
  • the height H is to be measured for the first portion 21 and for the third portion 23 perpendicular to the needle back 5 and for the second portion 22 approximately parallel to the needle back 5.
  • the length of the portion 22, between the surface 4 and the needle back 5 is to be measured, is preferably three to five times the height H of the needle shaft 15th
  • the recess 24 may be formed as a slot which completely breaks through the needle body. This is illustrated, for example, in FIG. 6, which illustrates a vertical section through the section 23.
  • the recess 24 opens here on both flat sides 25, 26 of the needle body 2. Similarly, the section through the sections 21 and 22 looks.
  • the recess 24 forming slot may, as Figure 3 illustrates, be formed S-shaped.
  • the slot ends preferably connect to circular openings 27, 28 which are intended to avoid stress concentration at the slot end.
  • the slot In the region of the transitions between the sections 21, 22 and 22 and 23, the slot may be formed rounded S-shaped.
  • the rounding radii R are preferably greater than the width of the parallel-sided limited slot.
  • the width of the slot is also preferably smaller than the width of the webs 31, 32 provided above and below the slot. It is possible to reduce the slot width to such an extent that the slot becomes a joint at which the webs 31, 32 abut one another issue. However, it is preferred that these, as illustrated in Figure 3, leave a gap between each other.
  • the circular openings 27, 28 each have a radius whose size coincides with half the width of the recess 24.
  • the knitting machine needle 1 described so far operates as follows:
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a needle family 33 to which different knitting machine needles 1, 34, 35, 36 belong. While the knitting machine needle 1 coincides with the above-described knitting machine needle, the knitting machine needles 34, 35, 36 have no slotted deflection. Rather, their needle bodies are provided only with closed deflections, so that they are formed overall meandering.
  • the knitting machine needles 34, 35, 36 differ from the knitting machine needle 1 by the number of deflections between the respective foot 3 and the respective hook 16.
  • the needle family 33 thus has at least that knitting machine needle 1, in which only a deflection 18 between the foot third and the hook 16 is provided, a corresponding, extending over the deflection 18 recess 24.
  • the other knitting machine needles 34, 35, 36 may, but need not, be provided with recesses.
  • a needle set formed from such a needle family 33 has a high load capacity and service life.
  • the life of the knitting machine needle 1 in which the foot 3 is closest to the hook 16 in comparison with the other knitting machine needles 34, 35, 36 is by no means less than the life of the remaining knitting machine needles 34, 35, 36.
  • Figure 4 illustrates a modified embodiment of the knitting machine needle 1.
  • the web 11 connects to the deflection 18, in which in addition to the recess 24 further recesses 37, 38 are provided.
  • All recesses 24, 37, 38 are each formed as a slot, wherein they are arranged longitudinally in the respective section 21, 22, 23. Between the straight slots 37, 24, 38 is in each case a distance which is approximately as large as a slot width.
  • the recesses 37, 24, 38 can also be arranged across sections.
  • the recess 38 may protrude from the portion 23 into the portion 22 and the recess 37 from the portion 21 may protrude into the portion 22.
  • the recess 24 may protrude from section 21 via the section 22 into the section 23.
  • the corresponding recesses are arranged correspondingly at a distance from each other.
  • this includes the section 22 with the adjacent sections 21, 23 each have an obtuse angle.
  • the recess 24 is predominantly as preferably straighter Slot arranged in the section 22. It can also extend with curved ends in the sections 21, 23 in.
  • 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46 for example in the form of circular openings are formed, the diameter of which approximately coincides with the slot width of the recess 24.
  • This knitting machine needle has in the region of its deflection 18 an improved compliance and it tends to a lesser extent to hard breaks than comparable knitting machine needles without formed in the region of the deflection 18 recesses.
  • All recesses of the above-described knitting machine needles may be open as shown in FIG. However, it is also possible to provide these completely or partially according to Figure 7 with a filling 47, which consists of damping material.
  • a filling 47 which consists of damping material.
  • This may be a plastic, a natural material, elastomer, rubber or even a metal that is different from the metal from which the rest of the knitting machine needle is formed. It may, for example, have a different internal damping, mass, strength, etc.
  • the damping material contributes to the absorption of impact energy, which can be introduced to the foot 3 in the knitting machine needle 1. In particular, it prevents the transmission of the impact energy to the hook 16.
  • the recess 24, 37, 38 and 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46 may also be formed according to Figure 8 or Figure 9 as a non-continuous recess. This is illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9 using the example of the recess 24, which has a bottom 48 there. The bottom 48 in turn contributes to the stiffening. It makes it possible to leave on both sides of the recess 24 particularly narrow webs 31, 32, without the Knitting machine needle thereby too weak in terms of their stability. Similar to FIG. 7, a damping material filling the respective recess 24 can be arranged on the base 48.
  • a knitting machine needle 1 with a foot 3 protruding from its needle body 2 and a shank 15 extending from the needle body to a hook 16 has a deflector 18 which is arranged between the hook 16 and the foot 3.
  • the deflection 18 is provided with at least one recess 24 which changes the characteristic impedance of the deflection 18 locally and leads to the reduction of hook fractures on impact on the foot 3.
