Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for circular knitting at least one wire to a tube section with multiple courses. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for circular knitting and a hose section of wire mesh.
  • the at least one wire of the circular knitting machine is fed continuously, wherein the guided in a common needle carrier needles to form the new stitches of a course pull the wire through the stitches of the previously formed course, while the needles strip the previously held stitches of the previously formed row of stitches and release them in sections.
  • needles is understood in this context knitting needles, which are particularly well suited for the entanglement of wires.
  • the finished knitted tube must be continuously conveyed away by means of a so-called withdrawal device, since otherwise the previously formed courses will not be transported away from the needles and the knitting process would be interrupted.
  • withdrawal device As a take-off often come two intermeshing toothed rollers used, between which the finished knitted hose is guided and capture the hose with the help of their teeth and pull away with high force from the knitting machine.
  • the tube is cut by means of a separator, such as a cutting knife, in hose sections of defined length. Since the courses at the Circular knitting show a helical course, it is impossible in the cutting process, especially in very fine-meshed wire knit to separate the courses so that not sections of several courses are cut simultaneously. This has the consequence that immediately after the cutting of the knitted wire a plurality of separated stitch residues, the so-called chaff, remain in the tube section. Since the use of hose sections with chaff hanging in it is undesirable, the chaff hanging in the hose section must be removed with great effort, either mechanically for example by everting or manually as completely as possible.
  • Another major disadvantage of the known method is the very high loss of material.
  • the material content of chaff is related to the total amount of entangled wire at up to 10%, so that a material loss of 10% must be taken into account, which especially in wires made of very high quality materials, such as precious metals, the cost of the final product additionally increased.
  • Another problem with the known knitting method is that neither a clearly defined length of the tube section nor a clearly defined weight of the tube section can be predetermined by the inaccurate cutting process. Rather, relatively large tolerances must be specified so that the manufactured tube sections can be used at all to a sufficient extent.
  • this object is achieved by a method having the features of claim 1. Furthermore, the object is achieved by a device having the features according to claim 7 and by a hose section made of wire mesh with the features of claim 11.
  • An essential idea of the invention is that, unlike previously customary, already the first row of stitches as well as all other subsequent rows of stitches which are produced during the knitting process are grasped with the aid of conveying elements arranged between the needles and conveyed away inwards from the needles. This makes it possible, on the one hand, to end the knitting process by separating or capping the wire at any time and to promote the knitted tube section from the circular knitting machine, on the other hand, the knitting process can be restarted again without much effort. So only a loose end of the Detected wire from one of the needles of the circular knitting machine and the wire from the other needles to a meandering first row of stitches are transformed.
  • the further fed wire is entangled by the needles with the previously formed first course to a subsequent course of stitches, as usual, pulling the needles to form the new stitches of the subsequent course the wire through the stitches of the previously formed first course.
  • the needles strip the previously held stitches of the previously formed first row of stitches and release them in sections, the respective released portion of the previously formed first row of stitches being grasped by the conveying elements arranged between the needles and being conveyed inwardly away from the needles.
  • This process is also continued in the other courses to be formed, wherein the already knitted hose section is continuously transported away by the conveying elements from the region of the needles.
  • the first time it is possible for the first time to dispense with the withdrawal device customary in the prior art. Furthermore, it is possible for the first time to dispense with the problematic cutting of the tube made of wire mesh, as is usual and necessary in the prior art. Also eliminates the usual in the art elaborate Anstricken.
  • no chaff is produced.
  • the length of the tube section is determined only by capping the wire at a predetermined length and continuing the knitting operation. In this way, it is possible for the first time by the invention to manufacture tube sections with a precisely defined length or precisely defined weight in hitherto unreachable tolerance ranges. The mentioned material loss of up to 10% of the wire material to be entangled is completely eliminated. Even complex extraction devices or cutting devices are obsolete.
  • the conveying elements release the previously conveyed previously formed row of stitches only when they grip the row of stitches formed below and convey it inwards away from the needles. This ensures that due to the stiffness of the wire material already formed and from the conveyor elements wegge redesignte stitch row does not jump back and hinders the knitting process.
  • wires with a comparatively thick wire cross-section is also proposed to preform the supplied wire to support the stitch formation, for example by the wire is passed immediately before the entanglement through a corresponding preforming device and then handed over to the needles for entangling.
  • a handling device for example, a robot is suitable.
  • the invention relates to a device for the deduction-free circular knitting of at least one wire to a Drahtgestrickschlauch.
  • the device comprises a needle carrier on which a plurality of identical needles are guided, which are controlled by means of a needle control according to a predetermined knitting movement.
  • a feed device for feeding the at least one wire and a device for removing the hose is provided.
  • the device for removing the hose as a discharge device is formed of a plurality of conveying elements movably guided between the knitting needles on the needle carrier, which for detecting the respectively immediately before released from the knitting needles of the previously formed course and for conveying away the released sections inwardly away from the Serve knitting needles.
  • the conveying elements are preferably moved by a control device coupled to the needle control of the needles in accordance with a predetermined sequence of movements.
  • the needle control is designed so that the conveying elements detect the respectively released sections according to the knitting movements of the needles and transport them away inwards into the needle carrier.
  • the conveying elements are preferably actuated by a respective actuator associated with each conveying element. It is also conceivable, however, a common control by a common actuator, such as a control disc with control grooves.
  • each have a conveyor element is provided so that each web mesh between each two shared mesh can be detected by a conveyor element.
  • Each conveyor element is advantageously designed in each case as at least one at least approximately at right angles with respect to the direction of movement of the knitting needles movable slider.
  • the invention relates to a tubular section made of knitted wire, which is knitted from at least one wire section, wherein the tube section has a predetermined defined length, which results exclusively by capping the wire section during the feeding of the wire section during knitting.
  • the hose section is chopper-free immediately after the knitting process and has only one separate permanent wire end open at each of its two ends per wire section.
  • the wire of the wire knit forming the tube section is deformed at least in sections between the stitches. This deformation is generated in particular by the conveying elements, which detect the wire mesh during the circular knitting defined.
  • the hose section may consist of a monoform wire, a multi-filament wire, a stranded wire or stranded wires depending on the application.
  • the wire section may have a round, oval, flat or even polygonal cross-sectional shape.
  • the tube section produced in this way can be converted into any type of molded part, for example in filter inserts for gas generators of airbags.
  • Fig.1 shows a sectional side view of an apparatus 10 according to the invention for the trigger-free circular knitting of wires.
  • the device 10 has a substantially hollow cylindrical needle carrier 12 having on its outer peripheral surface 14 a plurality of straight, identical guide grooves (not shown).
  • the guide grooves are uniformly spaced from one another on the outer peripheral surface 14 and extend parallel to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the needle carrier 12.
  • a needle 16 for entangling wires is guided longitudinally displaceable.
  • the needles 16 are controlled in a known manner by a needle control 18, which is in the form of a pushed onto the needle carrier 12, rotatable relative to this control cylinder 20, in its peripheral surface corresponding control grooves (not shown) are formed, which cooperate with the needles 16 ,
  • each have an adjusting groove 22 is formed between each two guide grooves on the in Fig. 1 shown upper end face of the needle carrier 12 .
  • Fig. 2 shows, in which a portion of the device 10 is shown in a perspective view, the parking grooves 22 extend radially with respect to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the needle carrier 12 and serve to guide each of a slide 24 formed as a conveying element.
  • Each slide 24 has on its the needle carrier 12 end facing a gripping portion 26, whose function will be explained later.
  • the slides 24 are actuated by a slide control 28 designed in the form of a control ring provided with control grooves and coupled to the needle control 18 of the needles 16.
  • a slide control 28 designed in the form of a control ring provided with control grooves and coupled to the needle control 18 of the needles 16.
  • Each slider 24 is, depending on the position of each adjacently arranged needles 16 by means of the slider control 28 between a radially outwardly disposed position in which the slider 24 is arranged with its gripping portion 26 radially further out than the respectively adjacent needles 16, and a radially inwardly disposed position in which the slider 24 protrudes with its gripping portion 26 in the needle carrier 12, displaced in the adjusting groove 22.
  • the free end of the wire is fed to the needle carrier 12 by means of a feeding device, not shown, until one of the needles 16 detects the wire. Subsequently, the wire is continuously supplied in a conventional manner by either the feeder is rotated about the needle carrier 12 or the Needle carrier 12 rotates about its longitudinal axis of symmetry, the other needles 16 detect the wire in a conventional manner, while forming the wire to a meandering course row due to the shape of the needle carrier 12 and the shape of the needles 16.
  • the actual knitting operation begins, in which the needles 16 entangle the further fed wire with the previously formed first course to form a subsequent course of stitches. This is done by the needles 16 to form the new stitches of the subsequent courses pull the wire through the stitches of the previously formed first course, while the needles 16 strip the previously held stitches of the previously formed first courses and continuously release the previously formed first course series sections , The respective released portion of the previously formed course is now continuously detected by the sliders 24 by the slides 24 are moved from its radially outer position to the radially inner position, wherein the gripping portions 26 detect the released portions and inwardly of the needles 16 away in the hollow cylindrical needle carrier 12 promote.
  • the sequence described above is repeated, whereby the released sections of the previously formed stitch row are respectively grasped by the slides 24 and conveyed inwards into the needle carrier 12 during stitch formation of the following row of stitches.
  • the portion held by the slides 24, which has already been conveyed away beforehand is released and pressed downwards into the needle carrier 12 by the section subsequently detected.
  • This stripping movement is additionally assisted by a rounded edge 30 extending over the entire circumference, which forms the transition of the end face of the needle carrier 12 into the inner peripheral surface of the hollow cylinder of the needle carrier 12.
  • the method according to the invention and the device 10 according to the invention it is possible for the first time to easily apply wires, since the hitherto required removal of the already knitted tube section is completely eliminated. Furthermore, with the method according to the invention and the device 10 according to the invention, it is possible for the first time to produce a hose section of defined length and defined weight in very tight manufacturing tolerances, without the hose section having to be shortened to the desired length after knitting by appropriate cutting devices. Rather, to form a defined length of a hose section only the supplied wire must be cut and the knitting process continued until the fabricated tube section of the device 10 can be removed or falls out of this by its own weight.
