Description

In Flachstrickmaschinen werden die Strickfäden in der Regel von einer Seite der Nadelbetten über Fadenführer den Stricknadeln zugeführt. Dabei ergeben sich unterschiedliche Fadenspannungen, abhängig davon, ob sich der Fadenführer von der Fadenzufuhrseite weg oder auf diese zu bewegt. Zur Verringerung dieses Problems sind an den Flachstrickmaschinen häufig stationäre Fadenaufhol- und Fadenspeichereinrichtungen vorgesehen.In flat knitting machines, the knitting threads are usually fed to the knitting needles from one side of the needle beds via thread guides. This results in different thread tensions, depending on whether the thread guide moves away from the thread feed side or to this. To reduce this problem, stationary thread-retrieving and thread-storing devices are frequently provided on the flat knitting machines.

In der US 3,688,525 ist auch bereits vorgeschlagen worden, mit dem Fadenführer eine Fadenleiteinrichtung mitzubewegen, die eine Fadenschleife vor dem Fadenführer erzeugt. Die Größe der Fadenschleife kann durch den Abstand zwischen der Fadenleiteinrichtung und dem Fadenführer eingestellt werden. Allerdings ist dieser Abstand während des gesamten Schlittenhubes der Maschine konstant und kann nur bei der Schlittenumkehr verändert werden. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass insbesondere bei elastischen Strickfäden oder bei einem Schussfadeneintrag mit der bekannten Maschine die unterschiedlichen Fadenspannungsverhältnisse nicht ausreichend ausgeglichen werden können.In the US 3,688,525 It has also been proposed to move along with the thread guide a Fadenleiteinrichtung that generates a thread loop in front of the yarn guide. The size of the thread loop can be adjusted by the distance between the Fadenleiteinrichtung and the yarn guide. However, this distance is constant during the entire carriage stroke of the machine and can only be changed when the carriage is reversed. It has been shown that, in particular with elastic knitting threads or with a weft insertion with the known machine, the different thread tension ratios can not be sufficiently compensated.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Flachstrickmaschine mit konstanten Fadenspannungsverhältnissen bereitzustellen.The present invention has for its object to provide a flat knitting machine with constant yarn tension ratios.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Flachstrickmaschine mit mindestens einem Nadelbett und mindestens einem Einlege-Fadenführer, der längs des mindestens einen Nadelbetts bewegbar und mit einem Fadenleitorgan zum Einlegen mindestens eines Strickfadens in Nadeln des Nadelbetts versehen ist, und mit mindestens einem Zufuhr-Fadenführer, der den mindestens einen Strickfaden dem mindestens einen Einlege-Fadenführer zuführt, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass die beiden Fadenführer derart gemeinsam längs des mindestens einen Nadelbetts bewegbar sind, dass ihr gegenseitiger Abstand in jeder Bewegungsrichtung der Fadenführer während der gemeinsamen Bewegung entlang des mindestens einen Nadelbetts verstellbar ist.The object is achieved by a flat knitting machine having at least one needle bed and at least one insert yarn guide, which is provided along the at least one needle bed movable and provided with a Fadenleitorgan for inserting at least one knitting yarn in needles of the needle bed, and with at least one feed yarn guide, the the at least one knitting yarn feeds the at least one insertion yarn guide, which is characterized in that the two yarn guides are movable along the at least one needle bed so that their mutual distance in each direction of movement of the yarn guide during the common movement along the at least one needle bed adjustable is.

Mit dieser Maschine lassen sich auch Fadenspannungsänderungen, die durch eine hohe Elastizität des Strickfadens oder das Abbremsen der Fadenführer vor einer Bewegungsrichtungsumkehr verursacht werden, sicher ausgleichen. Es ergeben sich somit selbst bei einem Schussfadeneintrag sehr konstante Fadenspannungen. Dadurch werden die Umkehrkanten des Gestricks qualitativ deutlich verbessert. Außerdem ist bei Eintrag eines Schussfadens gewährleistet, dass die Elastizität des Gestricks über seine gesamte Breite konstant ist. Auch beim Einlegen von Flottfäden aus beliebigen Garnen, beispielsweise aus breiten Bändchengarnen, ergeben sich die gleichen Vorteile.With this machine, even thread tension changes, which are caused by a high elasticity of the knitting thread or the braking of the thread guide before a reversal of direction of movement, compensate for sure. Thus, even with a weft insertion very constant thread tensions arise. As a result, the reversing edges of the knit are significantly improved in quality. In addition, when entering a weft thread ensures that the elasticity of the knitted fabric is constant over its entire width. Even when inserting floats from any yarn, for example, from wide ribbon yarns, the same advantages.

Weitere Vorteile ergeben sich, wenn der Einlege- und der Zufuhr-Fadenführer mit unterschiedlichen und nicht konstanten Geschwindigkeiten entlang des mindestens einen Nadelbetts bewegbar sind. Der gegenseitige Abstand der beiden Fadenführer lässt sich dann während der Bewegung entlang des oder der Nadelbetten beliebig verkürzen oder vergrößern. Eine nicht lineare Änderung des Abstands kann insbesondere kurz vor oder nach der Richtungsumkehr der Bewegung der beiden Fadenführer sinnvoll sein.Further advantages arise when the insertion and the feed yarn guide with different and non-constant speeds along the at least one needle bed are movable. The mutual distance between the two yarn guides can then be arbitrarily shortened or enlarged during the movement along the needle bed (s). A non-linear change of the distance can be useful, in particular, shortly before or after the direction reversal of the movement of the two yarn guides.

Zum Einlegen eines Schussfadens kann der Einlege-Fadenführer in beiden Bewegungsrichtungen mit einer höheren Geschwindigkeit als der voreilende Zufuhr-Fadenführer entlang des mindestens einen Nadelbetts bewegbar sein. Dadurch wird der Schussfaden sozusagen auf den Einlege-Fadenführer zugeschoben, d.h. völlig spannungsfrei diesem zugeführt. Der Zufuhr-Fadenführer kann bereits bei der Schlittenumkehr neu positioniert werden, sodass in beiden Bewegungsrichtungen der Fadenführer diese schiebende Fadenzufuhr zum Einlege-Fadenführer gewährleistet ist.To insert a weft thread, the insertion thread guide can be movable in both directions of movement at a higher speed than the leading feed thread guide along the at least one needle bed. As a result, the weft thread is as it were pushed onto the insertion thread guide, that is supplied completely tension-free this. The feed yarn guide can be repositioned already at the carriage reversal, so that this sliding yarn feed is guaranteed to insert yarn guide in both directions of movement of the yarn guide.

Für die Ausgestaltung des Zufuhr-Fadenführers kommen mehrere Möglichkeiten in Betracht. Der Zufuhr-Fadenführer kann eine Umlenkrolle und/oder eine Fadenbremse und/oder eine Fadenklemme aufweisen. Weist er nur eine Umlenkrolle auf, so wird der Faden durch den Zufuhr-Fadenführer nahezu reibungsfrei dem Einlege-Fadenführer zugeführt. Ein eventuell erforderliches Abbremsen oder Klemmen des Fadens kann von separaten Vorrichtungen an der Strickmaschine vorgenommen werden. Alternativ kann der Zufuhr-Fadenführer bremsen oder klemmen und die Fadenumlenkung erfolgt über separate Elemente. Oder der Zufuhr-Fadenführer kann alle diese Funktionen erfüllen.For the design of the feed yarn guide several possibilities come into consideration. The feed yarn guide may have a deflection roller and / or a thread brake and / or a thread clamp. If it has only one deflection roller, the thread is fed through the feed thread guide almost without friction to the insertion thread guide. Any required braking or jamming of the thread can be made by separate devices on the knitting machine. Alternatively, the feed yarn guide can brake or clamp and the thread deflection takes place via separate elements. Or the feed yarn guide can perform all these functions.

Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung weist der Zufuhr-Fadenführer eine Umlenkrolle auf, zwischen deren Rollenhälften der Strickfaden auch brems- und klemmbar ist. Dieser Fadenführer hat einen kompakten Aufbau und kann dennoch alle drei Funktionen Umlenken, Bremsen und Klemmen des Fadens erfüllen. Dabei kann die Brems- und Klemmwirkung der Umlenkrolle vorzugsweise durch ein Anheben der längs eines Fadenführerarms des Zufuhr-Fadenführers verschiebbar gelagerten Umlenkrolle erzeugbar sein. Die Ansteuerung dieser unterschiedlichen Funktionen lässt sich dann in einer ähnlichen Weise realisieren wie bei herkömmlichen Fadenführern, deren Fadenführernüsschen in der Höhe verstellbar ist, um den Fadenführer zwischen einer aktiven und einer inaktiven Stellung hin und her zu schalten.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the feed yarn guide on a pulley, between the roll halves of the knitting yarn is also braked and clamped. This thread guide has a compact design and yet can perform all three functions deflecting, braking and clamping the thread. In this case, the braking and clamping action of the deflection roller can preferably be generated by lifting the deflection roller displaceably mounted along a thread guide arm of the feed thread guide. The control of these different functions can then be realized in a similar manner as in conventional yarn guides whose Fadenführernüsschen is adjustable in height to switch the yarn guide between an active and an inactive position back and forth.

Weitere Vorteile lassen sich erzielen, wenn vor jeder Bewegungsrichtungsänderung vom Zufuhr-Fadenführer zumindest annähernd so viel Strickfaden von einer Fadenspule abziehbar und zwischen dem Zufuhr-Fadenführer und dem Einlege-Fadenführer speicherbar ist, wie für die nächste Strickreihe benötigt wird. Bei der Richtungsumkehr zieht der Zufuhr-Fadenführer die benötigte Fadenmenge von der Fadenspule ab und klemmt dann den Faden, wodurch die für die nächste Strickreihe zumindest teilweise benötigte Fadenmenge zwischen dem Zufuhr-Fadenführer und dem Einlege-Fadenführer gespeichert ist. Anschließend wird der gespeicherte Faden vom Einlege-Fadenführer den Nadeln zugeführt, während sich beide Fadenführer entlang der Nadelbetten bewegen. Der Abstand zwischen den beiden Fadenführern verringert sich dabei stetig. Durch dieses Vorlegeverfahren wird im Wesentlichen nur der bei der Richtungsumkehr zwischen den Fadenführern vorgelegte Faden verstrickt. Die Fadenspannung kann über die Menge an abgezogenem Faden und über die relative Geschwindigkeit der beiden Fadenführer geregelt werden.Further advantages can be achieved if at least approximately as much knitting thread can be withdrawn from a thread bobbin and stored between the feed thread guide and the insert thread guide before each movement direction change from the feed thread guide, as is required for the next knitting sequence. When reversing direction, the feed thread guide pulls the required amount of thread from the bobbin and then clamps the thread, whereby the amount of yarn at least partially required for the next row of knitting is stored between the feed yarn guide and the loading yarn guide. Subsequently, the stored thread is fed to the needles by the insertion thread guide while both thread guides move along the needle beds. The distance between the two yarn guides is reduced steadily. By this Vorlegeverfahren essentially only submitted during the reversal of direction between the yarn guides thread is entangled. The thread tension can be controlled by the amount of thread withdrawn and the relative speed of the two thread guides.

Um die Vorteile der Erfindung optimal nutzen zu können, sind der mindestens eine Einlege-Fadenführer und der mindestens eine Zufuhr-Fadenführer vorzugsweise von separaten Antriebseinrichtungen angetrieben. Die Bewegungen der beiden Fadenführer lassen sich dann vollkommen unabhängig voneinander steuern.In order to be able to optimally utilize the advantages of the invention, the at least one insertion yarn guide and the at least one supply yarn guide are preferably driven by separate drive devices. The movements of the two yarn guides can then be controlled completely independently of each other.

Im Folgenden wird ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel einer Fadenführeranordnung einer erfindungsgemäßen Flachstrickmaschine mit Bezug auf die Zeichnung näher erläutert.In the following, a preferred embodiment of a yarn guide arrangement of a flat knitting machine according to the invention is explained in more detail with reference to the drawing.

Die einzige Figur zeigt in einer schematischen Darstellung auf der linken Seite einen Zufuhr-Fadenführer 10 und einen Einlege-Fadenführer 11 in Bewegungsrichtung 12 nach links und auf der rechten Seite die beiden Fadenführer 10, 11 in Bewegungsrichtung 13 nach rechts. Die beiden Fadenführer 10, 11 werden dabei über Fadenführerkästen 10.1, 11.1 in unterschiedlichen Spuren einer nicht näher dargestellten Fadenführerschiene in den Richtungen 12, 13 gemeinsam bewegt, wobei die Geschwindigkeiten der Fadenführer 10, 11 jedoch unterschiedlich sein können. Dadurch kann der Abstand A zwischen den Fadenführern 10, 11 auch während eines Schlittenhubs der Flachstrickmaschine verändert werden.The single FIGURE shows in a schematic representation on the left side of a feed yarn guide 10 and an insertion yarn guide 11 in the direction of movement 12 to the left and on the right side, the two yarn guides 10, 11 in the direction of movement 13 to the right. The two yarn guides 10, 11 are thereby moved together via yarn guide boxes 10.1, 11.1 in different tracks of a yarn guide rail not shown in the directions 12, 13, wherein the speeds of the yarn guides 10, 11, however, be different can. As a result, the distance A between the yarn guides 10, 11 can also be changed during a carriage stroke of the flat knitting machine.

Der Zufuhr-Fadenführer 10 weist eine Umlenkrolle 14 auf, die einen Strickfaden 15 einem Fadenführernüsschen 16 des Einlege-Fadenführers 11 zuführt. Vom Fadenführernüsschen 16 wird der Faden 15 dann in Stricknadeln 17 einer ansonsten nicht näher dargestellten Flachstrickmaschine eingelegt.The feed yarn guide 10 has a deflection roller 14, which feeds a knitting yarn 15 to a yarn guide nozzle 16 of the insertion yarn guide 11. From Fadenführernüsschen 16 of the thread 15 is then inserted into knitting needles 17 of a flat knitting machine otherwise not shown.

In beiden Bewegungsrichtungen 12, 13 der Fadenführer 10, 11 erfolgt die Fadenzufuhr von rechts. In beiden Bewegungsrichtungen 12, 13 ist jedoch der Zufuhr-Fadenführer 10 dem Einlege-Fadenführer 11 voreilend, sodass sich in beiden Bewegungsrichtungen 12, 13 gleiche Fadenspannungen erzielen lassen. Es ergibt sich stets eine so genannte schiebende Fadenzufuhr zum Einlege-Fadenführer 11.In both directions of movement 12, 13 of the yarn guide 10, 11, the yarn feed from the right. In both directions of movement 12, 13, however, the supply yarn guide 10 is the lead-in yarn guide 11 leading, so that in both directions of movement 12, 13 can achieve the same yarn tensions. It always results in a so-called sliding thread feed to the insertion yarn guide 11th

Die Umlenkrolle 14 kann auch derart gestaltet sein, dass der Faden 15 durch sie gebremst oder geklemmt werden kann. Dann ist es möglich, vor einer Änderung der Bewegungsrichtung 12, 13 mit dem Zufuhr-Fadenführer 10 so viel Strickfaden 15 von einer hier nicht dargestellten Fadenspule abzuziehen, wie für das Stricken der nächsten Maschenreihe benötigt wird. Der Faden 15 wird dann von der Umlenkrolle 14 geklemmt und zwischen ihr und dem Fadenführernüsschen 16 gespeichert. Anschließend wird während der Bewegung der Fadenführer 10, 11 in eine der Richtungen 12, 13 der Abstand A zwischen den Fadenführern 10, 11 entsprechend dem laufenden Verbrauch an Faden verkürzt.The deflection roller 14 may also be designed such that the thread 15 can be braked or clamped by them. Then it is possible, before changing the direction of movement 12, 13 with the supply yarn guide 10 deduct so much knitting yarn 15 from a yarn package, not shown here, as is needed for the knitting of the next course. The thread 15 is then clamped by the deflection roller 14 and stored between it and the yarn guide 16. Subsequently, during the movement of the yarn guide 10, 11 in one of the directions 12, 13 of the distance A between the yarn guides 10, 11 is shortened according to the current consumption of yarn.
