The present invention relates to an automatic sock knitting machine, and more particularly, to an automatic sock knitting machine capable of organizing various pile patterns.

As consumers' tastes are diversified due to the improvement of living standards, socks are gradually advanced as well as general textile products, requiring more complex functions in addition to basic functions, and tend to place importance on design. In accordance with this trend, computerized automatic hosiery knitting machines are used to produce various patterns by using yarns of various colors and by changing the knitting organization.

One of them is a high-quality socks that give the design three-dimensional change along with special functions to the socks by forming piles on the front and back to protect the feet and improve the aesthetics by shocks during warming and exercise. It is organized and marketed.

 The pile is formed on the front and back to form the pattern, and the pile is formed on the bottom or back of the socks to vary the thickness with other parts, or to organize the whole sock that will be the inside into a pile structure. Thereafter, there is a so-called double socks that squeeze the normal socks to be outwards in succession and then turn them upside down and suture at the toes to form piles on both sides of the front and back, and partially form the pattern by knitting the piles in straight or diagonal stripes. Doing.

However, in the case of normal computerized automatic hosiery knitting machine, it is impossible to express more sophisticated patterns such as circles or curves on the part of the surface of the knitting tissue as pile tissue along with the organization of other tissues. Patterns of various shapes are formed through a pile knitting or embroidery process. So the socks with such a good design were expensive because the manufacturing process was cumbersome and expensive.

The present invention has been made in view of this situation in the generalized computer sock knitting machine, and an automatic sock capable of expressing a variety of desired patterns on the surface of the sock by forming a pile together with the overall portion of the sock and at the required portion. The purpose is to provide knitting.

In other words, in the present invention, the structure of the sinker in the automatic hosiery knitting machine can be improved so as to be individually controlled by mutual interaction with the operation means coupled thereto. To provide a simple sock knitting machine of a simple structure.

The automatic hosiery knitting machine according to the present invention is connected to the knitting needle butt of the lower end, and is installed on the knitting needle which moves the knitting needle groove of the cylinder up and down by a jack moving up and down, the sinker bed located at the top of the cylinder, and its butt is a sinker cap. In the computerized automatic sock knitting machine consisting of a sinker coupled to the groove of the left and right to move material to form a ring with the needle and a drive means for properly operating the needle and the sinker according to the input information,

A protrusion is provided at its rear end such that the sinker can be advanced further than its normal operating position to form a loop;

The sinkers are mounted on the sinker bed in groups of three to eight different projection positions, and are characterized in that one or more of them are individually controlled to move forward at the same time.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings illustrating a specific example in order to more easily understand the features of the automatic sock knitting machine according to the present invention will be described in detail.

As shown in FIG. 1, the automatic sock knitting machine according to the present invention is inserted into the needle needle groove 11 of the rotating cylinder 1 so as to move up and down in the same manner as a conventional computerized sock knitting machine. Although not shown in detail in FIG. 1 for the sake of simplicity, the cylinder 1 is surrounded by a cylinder cam ring in which a cam for raising and lowering the needle 2 is fixed as usual. In addition, the needle 2 is connected to the jack 12 of the butt 7 at the lower end thereof, and is suitably pinched along the knitting cam of the cylinder cam ring to operate up and down.

On the other hand, the sinker 3, which cooperates with the knitting needle 2 and forms a ring-shape, is installed in an annular sinker bed 6 located above the cylinder 1, and the butt 8 is formed of the sinker cap 4. It is coupled to the groove 14, and the sinker bed (6) is provided with sinker cams (not shown) to move in accordance with the movement of the needle (2) while moving forward and backward.

The sinker 3 is a looping part 3a for bending the knitting yarn to form a loop, pushing out the looping escaped from the knitting needle 2, and separating the old loop and the new looping loop to escape from the knitting needle 2 A nip (3b) portion which does not re-penetrate, and holds a second knitting yarn such as an elastic yarn or the like between the holding portion 3a and a knitting fabric when the knitting needle 2 descends for the next knitting course. A throat 3c and a belly 3d to assist when the guruop escapes from the needle 2, and is coupled to the groove 14 of the sink cap 4 The butt 8 is located at the top.

The sinkers 3 are installed in the sink bed 6 in a group of three to eight pieces, and each set of sinkers 3 forms a pile pattern at one end of the rear side of the butt 8 above the sinker 3. Each of the protrusions 9a, 9b, 9c, ... is formed.

As shown in enlarged views in FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C, each of the sinkers 3 has the same structure, but only different positions of protrusions 9a, 9b, 9c, ..., and the protrusions 9a. ) 9b and 9c are precisely provided so as not to overlap each other. In this way, by forming different positions of the protrusions 9a, 9b, 9c, ..., the operation can be made precisely because the minimum angle is formed on the sinker bed 6 of the sock knitting machine to give a time difference in operation.

In addition, the number of sinkers 3 having different positions of the protrusions 9a, 9b, and 9c of the sinker 3 is basically set to three. There is no particular limitation on the number. However, as the number of sinkers 3 increases, the number of revolutions per minute (rpm) of the hosiery knitting machine is faster, which may contribute to an increase in production. That is, the angle between one sinker 3 and the other sinker 3 becomes 2.5 °, so for example, when three sinkers 3 are combined into one group, the angle is controlled within the 7.5 ° angle, and six groups into one group. If the number of sinkers 3 is larger, the number of sets of sinkers 3 can be increased, so that the production speed can be increased and the spacing between the rings can be easily adjusted. Therefore, up to eight are suitable.

The actuator 5, which advances the required number of sinkers 3 to form the pile, may be configured to be operated by piezoelectric, electronic or other known means and is limited to a particular manner. It doesn't work. In addition, the actuator 5 is suitable for acting to push forward by individually contacting each protrusion 9a, 9b, 9c, ... of each set of sinkers 3 as shown in FIG. And the movable rods 10a, 10b, 10c, ... which are equal to the number of protrusions 9a, 9b, 9c, ... of the jaw sinker 3.

Each of the movable rods 10a, 10b, 10c of the actuator 5 is projected 9a, 9b, 9c of each sinker 3 in accordance with the operation of the encoder set according to the program. Individually controlled to advance more than one at a time.

In addition, the basic operation of the knitting needle (1) and sinker (3) of the automatic sock knitting machine according to the present invention and the operation of each component that operates them are appropriately operated in accordance with the information input by the computer system, and is exchanged. It is configured to form.

The automatic sock knitting machine according to the present invention having such a configuration forms a ring by knitting the needle 2 and the sinker 3 according to a planned program to produce a sock having a desired shape, thereby knitting the sock. At this time, if you want to partially display the file of the specific pattern on the appearance of the socks, the actuator (5) provided at the rear of the sinker (3) by the operation of the encoder (not shown) set according to the program is the movable rod (10a) ( 10b) (10c) ... and the corresponding sinker (3) of one set of sinkers (3) advances to form one or more files, thereby varying the desired file pattern regardless of the basic organization Can be formed.

That is, when forming a general flat tissue, the sinker 3 advances to the normal position A as shown in FIG. 3 to form a circular ring with the knitting needle 2, and in particular, to form a pile structure, the sinker ( 3) advances forward to the forward position B as many times as necessary to form one or more piles. Therefore, since the pair of sinkers 3 can be individually controlled to form the required number of piles simultaneously, a curved pile pattern of circles or rounds can be formed during the knitting process of the socks.

The automatic sock knitting machine according to the present invention as described above is simple but structured so that a plurality of sinkers can be moved forward individually by the operation of the encoder set according to the program to form one or more files simultaneously or sequentially. Sophisticated pile patterns of flower shapes or various curved shapes can be formed during the sock knitting process.

Therefore, according to the automatic sock knitting machine according to the present invention, unlike a special pattern was formed on the part of the neck or instep of the sock through a separate working procedure by embroidery, etc., the structure of the socks and the pile structure at the same time The pattern can be expressed in various ways by repeating partly, so that a high-quality socks with colorful designs can be organized in a single process by a simple procedure.

Therefore, according to the automatic sock knitting machine according to the present invention can manufacture a high value-added socks in a simple knitting process can greatly reduce the production cost of socks has the advantage of producing internationally competitive products.
