Abstract

To mix pile knitting and plain knitting by switching the knitting.SOLUTION: Both of a foundation yarn 10 and a pile yarn 11 are hooked on a hook claw 13d for foundation yarn so as to make a sinker loop of a new loop 40 in plain knitting at a stitch deciding position A and come out of the hook claw 13d for foundation yarn before a re-advance position B of a sinker 13. When a hook 12a is advanced to a tooth port 3 in an old loop 41, the old loop is transferred to a needle stem side by opening a latch 12b and is cleared. When a knitting needle 12 is led from the tooth port 3, the old loop is relatively advanced to the tooth port 3 side, gets over the hook 12a while closing the latch 12b, and is knocked over to the tooth port 3 side. Even if the old loop 41 knocked over stay in the vicinity of the tooth port, the old loop can be pushed to a lower side of the tooth port 3 by a pushing section 13g of the sinker 13 before the re-advance position B. In pile knitting, the foundation yarn 10 and the old loop 41 can be pushed by pushing the pile yarn 11 hooked on the hook claw 13d for foundation yarn at the re-advance position B.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

Description

The present invention relates to a flat knitting machine and a sinker for pile knitting, and a pile knitting method with the flat knitting machine, which are capable of pile knitting with base yarn and pile yarn.

Conventionally, a weft knitting machine capable of pile knitting forms a pile knitted fabric by feeding ground yarns and pile yarns to knitting needles and sorting the ground yarns and pile yarns at the tip of a movable sinker. The tip of the sinker has hooks for hooking the base yarn and the pile yarn, respectively. The yarns are sorted by hooking them on hooks for pile yarns and locking them. Such a sinker can form a pile loop by forming a sinker loop of pile yarn longer than a sinker loop of base yarn. Pile-knitted gloves (see, for example, Patent Document 1) are knitted with pile knitting from the fingertips to the wrists, with rubber threads inserted into the wrists with tucks and pile loops protruding inward. Such gloves are coated with latex on the outside to provide waterproof and cold protection, or use aramid fiber etc. for the pile thread to provide cut resistance and heat resistance with the pile on the outside. can be done. The pile knitted fabric can also be formed as a sock, and for example, by placing the pile loops inside, it is possible to provide cold protection.

A flat knitting machine that performs pile knitting using a movable sinker can efficiently perform only pile knitting, and if only base yarns are used without using pile yarns, sections for jersey knitting can be mixed. However, if the jersey knitting is performed only with the base yarn, the pile yarn will not be knitted into the knitted fabric from the end of the pile knitting section to the beginning of the next pile knitting section.

FIG. 6 is a drawing-substituting photograph showing the appearance of a glove 50 knitted by the pile knitting flat knitting machine 1 of FIG.

1 to 6 show the configuration and operation of a flat knitting machine 1 for pile knitting according to an embodiment of the present invention. Corresponding parts in each figure are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description may be omitted. Also, for convenience of explanation, parts not shown in the drawings to be explained may be referred to by attaching reference numerals shown in other drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a simplified configuration of the principal parts of a flat knitting machine 1 for pile knitting, which is an embodiment of the present invention. A flat knitting machine 1 for pile knitting has needle beds 2 at the front and rear. The front and rear needle beds 2 face each other across the needle bed 3 and are arranged to be plane-symmetrical with respect to the needle bed central plane 3a. A portion sandwiched between the front and rear needle beds 2 at the needle bed 3 has a rectangular shape elongated in the depth direction of the drawing when viewed from above. This depth direction is hereinafter referred to as the longitudinal direction. Each needle bed 2 has a substrate 4 and needle plates 5 erected at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the substrate 4 . A stitch restraining rod 6 is arranged on the needle bed 3 side of the substrate 4 . The stitch restraining rod 6 is used for knitting the finger stalls of the glove while the crotch is overlapped, as described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-019062, for example. A sinker bed 7 is arranged above each needle bed 2 on the needle bed 3 side. Yarn feeders 8 and 9 are arranged above the needle bed 3 to feed base yarns 10 and pile yarns 11 for pile knitting, respectively. Above the yarn feeders 8 and 9, longitudinally extending yarn guide rails are installed. A track is provided on the yarn guide rail and supports the carrier so as to be able to travel in the longitudinal direction. Yarn feeders 8 and 9 are provided at the lower ends of the yarn feeders hanging down from the carrier, respectively.

Needle grooves are formed between the needle plates 5 of the needle bed 2, and the knitting needles 12 are accommodated in a slidable state. The knitting needle 12 has a hook 12a at the tip on the needle bed 3 side. The knitting needle 12 is a latch needle, and a hook 12a opens and closes the opening on the side away from the needle bed 3 with a latch 12b. The knitting needle 12 is slid in an inclined direction such that the hook 12a rises while advancing into the needle bed gap 3 and descends while retreating. A sinker 13 is arranged on the sinker floor 7 so as to be intermediate between adjacent knitting needles 12 . The sinker 13 has an advancing surface 13a and a retracting surface 13b, and is driven by a sinker cam 30, which will be described later, such that the tip thereof having the pile yarn hooking claw 13c and the base yarn hooking claw 13d advances and retreats toward the tooth gap 3. be. Sliding of the sinker 13 by this drive is performed in an inclined direction such that it descends while advancing into the tooth gap 3 and ascends while retreating. A thin dashed line indicates a state in which the tip extends most into the tooth gap 3 .

FIG. 2 shows the arrangement of a knitting cam 20 and a sinker cam 30 that serve as drive mechanisms for driving the knitting needle 12 and the sinker 13 . Such a cam arrangement is basically described in Japanese Patent No. 5079682 and the like, and is provided on a carriage that reciprocates in the longitudinal direction of the needle bed 2 . The carriage has cam plates facing the needle bed 2 and the sinker bed 7 respectively, and a knitting cam 20 is mounted on the cam plate facing the needle bed 2 . The knitting cam 20 includes a guide cam 21 , a rubber cam 22 , a set-up cam 23 , a needle raising cam 24 , a center cam 25 , a top cam 26 , a set-up cam 27 , a stitch cam 28 , and a guide cam 29 . The knitting cam 20 acts on the butt of the knitting needle 12 to drive as indicated by a locus 12c when the carriage runs leftward in the figure and performs pile knitting or jersey knitting. The hook 12a advances and retreats to the tooth gap 3 along a locus obtained by shifting the locus 12c toward the tooth gap 3 by the distance between the butt and the hook 12a.

A sinker cam 30 is mounted on the cam plate facing the sinker floor 7. - 特許庁The sinker cam 30 has an advancing cam surface 30a and a retracting cam surface 30b. As indicated by broken lines on the right side of the drawing, the advancing cam surface 30a and the retracting cam surface 30b press the advancing surface 13a and the retracting surface 13b of the sinker 13, respectively. Attached to the sinker cam 30, movable cams 31 and 32 are provided. The movable cam 31 is a butt-shaped portion of the sinker 13 on which the retracting surface 13 b is provided, and presses the surface facing the retracting surface 13 b in the direction of advancing into the tooth gap 3 . By this pressing, the sinker 13 becomes a crest that advances toward the tooth gap 3 side, and the sinker 13 becomes a valley that retreats from the tooth gap 3 to the sinker floor 7 on the subsequent withdrawal cam surface 30b. The movable cam 32 is hidden inside the sinker cam 30 and does not act when the carriage travels to the left. Therefore, the sinker 13 is driven by a combination of driving in the advancing direction toward the tooth gap 3 by the advancing cam surface 30a and the movable cam 31 and driving in the retracting direction from the tooth gap 3 by the retracting cam surface 30b. will be This drive causes the tip and tail ends of the sinker 13 to pass through the trajectories 13e and 13f.

Yarn feeding positions 8a, 8b, 8c; 9a, 9b, 9c of the base yarn 10 and the pile yarn 11 by the yarn feeders 8, 9 are set at positions indicated by triangles based on the arrangement of the knitting cam 20. FIG. Regarding the yarn feeding positions 8a and 9a during pile knitting, the yarn feeding position 8a of the ground yarn 10 precedes and the yarn feeding position 9a of the pile yarn 11 follows with an interval, as in conventional pile knitting. is. In this embodiment, the yarn feeding position 8b of the base yarn 10 is set to be the same as the yarn feeding position 8a, and the yarn feeding position 9b of the pile yarn 11 is brought closer to the yarn feeding position 8b than the yarn feeding position 9a. Perform the jersey knitting. The ground yarn 10 and the pile yarn 11 supplied from the yarn supplying positions 8b and 9b are not sorted by the ground yarn hook 13d and the pile yarn hook 13c at the tip of the sinker 13, and both are used for the ground yarn. The jersey knitting without pile loops becomes possible by hooking on the hook 13d. The jersey knitting is possible not only at the yarn feeding positions 8b and 9b, but also within a certain allowable range L, even if the yarn feeding position 9c of the yarn feeder 9 precedes the yarn feeding position 8c of the yarn feeder 8. . The permissible range L is a range in which neither the base yarn 10 nor the pile yarn 11 is caught by the pile yarn hook 13c, both are hooked by the ground yarn hook 13d, and both are caught by the hook 12a. be. Within this allowable range L, either of the yarn feeders 8 and 9 for the base yarn 10 and the pile yarn 11 may precede or be in the same phase.

In this embodiment, the carriers of the yarn feeders 8 and 9 are of a self-propelled type that can run independently of the carriage, so that the yarn feeding positions 8a and 9a for pile knitting and the yarn feeding positions 8b and 9b for jersey knitting are arranged. can be easily switched. The action of the sinker 13 on pile knitting and jersey knitting is characterized by positions A and B in the figure. Position A is a position where a new loop is formed by a needle loop hooked on the hook 12a of the knitting needle 12 retracted from the needle bed 3 by retraction by the stitch cam 28 and a sinker loop received by the tip of the sinker 13. is. Position B is a re-advancing position after position A where the sinker 13 retreats from the tooth gap 3 to the sinker bed 7 side at position C, advances again to the tooth gap 3 side, and pushes the sinker loop. The flat knitting machine 1 for pile knitting pushes the sinker loops below the hook 3 with the sinker 13 at least when re-advancing at the position B, so that the knocked-over old loops easily move to the lower side of the hook 3. are doing.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show pile knitting and jersey knitting by operating the sinkers 13 at positions A and B in FIG. 2, respectively. As shown in FIG. 3, at the stitch-setting position A, the base yarn 10 and the pile yarn 11 are hooked on the base yarn hook 13d and the pile yarn hook 13c in pile knitting, respectively, and sorted. It becomes the sinker loop of loop 40 . As shown in FIG. 4, at the stitching position A, in the case of jersey knitting, both of them are hooked on the ground thread hook 13d to form a needle loop of the new loop 40, and are not hooked on the pile thread hook 13c. The needle loop held by the hook 12 a before the new loop 40 is formed becomes the old loop 41 . When the needle raising cam 24 and the central cam 25 drive the hook 12a into the needle gap 3 in order to receive the ground yarn 10 and the pile yarn 11, the needle loop of the old loop 41 is moved relative to the knitting needle 12. When moved, the latch 12b is opened and moved to the side of the needle stem to be cleared from the hook 12a. When the knitting needle 12 is pulled in by the stitch cam 28, the cleared old loop 41 relatively advances toward the needle bed 3 side, crosses over the hook 12a while closing the latch 12b, and is knocked over to the tooth bed 3 side. be.

As shown in FIG. 2, the sinker 13 once retracts from the tooth gap 3 to the sinker bed 7 side at a position C between the degree setting position A and the re-advance position B. As shown in FIG. At this time, the pile yarn 11 held by the pile yarn hook 13c in the pile knitting of FIG. It is also pulled out from the ground thread hook 13d. When the sinker 13 starts advancing again from the position C, the pile yarns 11 that have moved to the base yarn hooking hook 13d are pushed up to the position B while being hooked. The pile yarns 11 that have once come off are also pierced by the re-advancing base yarn hook 13d, are hooked on the base yarn hook 13, and are pushed up to the position B.例文帳に追加By this pushing, the ground thread 10 and the old loop 41 are pushed under the needle gap 3 . When the sinker 13 is retracted after the position B, the pile yarn 11 hooked on the base yarn hook 13d is removed from the tip of the sinker 13 to form a pile loop. In the jersey knitting shown in FIG. 4, both the base yarn 10 and the pile yarn 11 are pulled out of the base yarn hook 13d at the position C, and do not remain at the tip of the sinker 13 even when re-advancing to the position B, and the pile loop is formed. It becomes a stitch of tenjiku knitting which is not formed. As shown in FIG. 4, the sinker 13 of this embodiment protrudes downward in the vicinity of the tip, and can push the ground thread 10 and the pile thread 11 on the advancing/retreating path to the side of the tooth gap 3 by advancing to the tooth gap 3. It has a push-in portion 13g.

FIG. 5 shows the pushing portion 13g provided in the sinker 13. As shown in FIG. For convenience of explanation, the advancing direction to the tooth gap 3, which is inclined downward in FIG. 1, is changed to a horizontal rightward direction in FIG. The push-in portion 13g is provided at a position at a distance H from the tip of the base yarn hooking claw 13d. The push-in portion 13g of the present embodiment has a stepped shape that protrudes downward by a height G while being inclined downward in the figure, but it may be formed in other shapes such as a vertical shape, a curved shape, or a hook shape. be. By providing the push-in portion 13g, the ground thread 10 and the pile thread 11 on the advancing/retreating path can be pushed toward the tooth gap 3 when the sinker 13 advances to the needle gap 3 again. The shape of the push-in portion 13g is selected so as not to interfere with pile knitting, and may vary depending on the ground yarn 10 and the pile yarn 11 used.

In the flat knitting machine 1 for pile knitting of the present embodiment, the stitch restraining rod 6 is used on the needle bed 3 side of the needle bed 2, so the upper end of the stitch restraining rod 6 on the needle bed 3 side acts as a top tooth 6a to knock. The knitted fabric connected to the overlaid old loop 41 is bent downward. Depending on the configuration of the needle bed 2, a wire or the like passing through in the longitudinal direction may serve as the top tooth. As shown in FIG. 4B, in the jersey knitting, both the base yarn 10 and the pile yarn 11 are detached from the base yarn hook 13d of the sinker 13. The needle loop of the loop 41 may stay ahead of the hook 12a in the advance direction without passing over the top tooth 6a. The retained old loop 41 is pushed up by the top of the hook 12a or caught again in the hook 12a when the hook 12a advances into the tooth gap 3 in the next knitting operation and rises. cause defects. Even if the old loop 41 stays, the push-in part 13g can push it under the tooth gap 3 at the re-advancing position B to eliminate the stay. In order to reliably push the tooth gap 3 downward, the sinker 13 is pushed down so that the push-in portion 13g is positioned at a depth D below the position of the top tooth 6a. It should be noted that even if pile knitting is performed while sorting at the leading end of the sinker 13, not in a linear direction as in the present embodiment, but in a forward/retreat manner including rocking, if a push-in portion is provided, it is possible to form a jersey knit. stagnation of the old loop can be eliminated.

FIG. 6 shows the appearance of a glove 50 knitted as a sample. The glove 50 is knitted by using the same type of yarn as the base yarn 10 and the pile yarn 11, and has a finger pocket for each of the thumb 51, the index finger 52, the middle finger 53, the ring finger 54 and the little finger 55, the palm 56 and the wrist 57. . The thumb 51, the index finger 52 and the palm 56 alternately repeat the pile knitting and the jersey knitting in two courses each in the wale direction to form an uneven striped pattern, which is expected to have an anti-slip effect. In the jersey knitting, both the ground yarn 10 and the pile yarn are knitted, so that the jump yarn of the pile 11 does not occur. All courses of the middle finger 53, ring finger 54, little finger 55 and wrist 57 are pile-knitted, and a rubber thread is inserted into the wrist 57 using the rubber cam 22 shown in FIG. The instep side of the glove 50 can be similarly mixed with the pile knitting and the jersey knitting, or can be entirely pile knitting. By using different yarns for the base yarn 10 and the pile yarn 11, the appearance and functions of gloves and socks can be diversified. Mixing jersey knitting with pile knitting also has the effect of reducing the consumption of the pile yarn 11 .

In the present embodiment, the yarn feeder 8 for the ground yarn 10 and the yarn feeder 9 for the pile yarn 11 are moved by self-propelled carriers, respectively, so that switching between pile knitting and jersey knitting according to the difference in the yarn feeding position can be easily performed. be able to. This switching can be performed even during one course by temporarily stopping the carriage and carrier and changing the yarn feeding position. In order to mix pile knitting and jersey knitting in the wale direction on a course-by-course basis, the yarn feeding position should be switched when the running direction of the carriage and carrier is reversed at the end of the knitting width. The control unit of the flat knitting machine 1 for pile knitting serves as a switching means for controlling the running of the carriage and carrier to switch between pile knitting and jersey knitting. Even in the entraining type in which the carrier is entrained by the carriage to move, it is possible to switch between pile knitting and jersey knitting by switching the entraining position of the carriage. However, it is necessary to provide two positions for carrying the carrier by the carriage, one for pile knitting and one for jersey knitting. As a result, the knitting efficiency decreases. When a carriage type carrier is used, the switching means is the control section of the flat knitting machine that controls the switching between running of the carriage and carriage of the carrier.

As described above, the pile knitting flat knitting machine 1 of this embodiment includes the knitting needle 12 that advances into the needle bed 3 while ascending, and the sinker 13 that advances into the needle bed 3 while descending. The sinker 13 has a ground thread hook 13d and a pile thread hook 13c at its tip. The knitting needle 12 catches the base yarn 10 that is fed earlier above the needle bed 3 and the pile yarn 11 that is fed later by hooks 12 a that are withdrawn from the needle bed 3 . In pile knitting, sinker loops of ground yarns 10 and pile loops of pile yarns 11 are formed while sorting ground yarns 10 and pile yarns 11 at the tips of sinkers 13 . In the knitting that forms pile loops, the yarn feeder 8 for the ground yarn 10 precedes the yarn feeder 9 for the pile yarn 11 with a space between them. Make it follow. In the knitting that does not form pile loops, the yarn feeder 8 for the base yarn 10 and the yarn feeder 9 for the pile yarn 11 are replaced with the yarn feeder 9 for the pile yarn 11 that precedes the yarn feeder 9 for the pile yarn 11 that followed during pile knitting. Move it to the side of 9 and switch the position so that the tip of the sinker 13 cannot be sorted. In knitting that does not form a pile loop, the ground yarn 10 and the pile yarn 11 are captured by the hook 12a of the knitting needle 12 to form a needle loop, and are hooked to the ground yarn hooking claw 13d of the sinker 13 to form a sinker loop. Therefore, jersey knitting without pile loops becomes possible.

The base yarn that is fed in advance above the needle bed and the pile yarn that is fed subsequently are caught by the hook of the knitting needle that is retracted from the needle bed,
Forming a sinker loop of the base yarn and a pile loop of the pile yarn while sorting the base yarn and the pile yarn at the tip of the sinker,
In the pile knitting method with a flat knitting machine,
The yarn feeding position of the base yarn and the pile yarn above the tuft is
In the pile knitting that forms pile loops, the yarn feeder for the ground yarn leads and the yarn feeder for the pile yarn follows with a gap between them.
In knitting that does not form pile loops, the yarn feeder of the trailing pile yarn during pile knitting is moved to the yarn feeder side of the preceding base yarn so that it is positioned in a range where it cannot be sorted at the tip of the sinker.
switch respectively,
In knitting that does not form a pile loop, the ground yarn and the pile yarn are captured by the hooks of the knitting needles to form a needle loop, and both the ground yarn and the pile yarn are hooked on the ground yarn hanging hook of the sinker to form the sinker loop. can be formed, and jersey knitting without pile loops is possible,
A pile knitting method with a flat knitting machine characterized by:
