Definitions

  • Such barrier cooperates with a sensing device at the end of each slur coclt stroke across the width of the material being knit so that, if the relationship between a sensing device and the light barrier at the end of one slur cock stroke changes, a signal will be generated by such sensing device for effecting adjustment of the slur cock travel to produce a new working margin of the material being knit corresponding to the differently adjusted position of the yarn guide and the sensing device connected to it.
  • Drive mechanism for adjusting the length of slur cock stroke is actuated in response to the sensing device signal by a cam rotated in synchronism with the slur cock reciprocating mechanism.
  • the present invention relates to devices for the automatic adaptation of the draw travel of the slur cocks in straight bar knitting machines so as to suit different working widths. More particularly the invention relates to a separately driven adjusting device for altering the slur cock draw travel and a control mechanism which is operated in accordance with the setting means for limiting the yarn guide travel.
  • One object of the present invention is therefore to provide a simple device for the automatic stepless adaptation of slur cock travel to different working widths both for narrowing and also for widening.
  • the device should also operate securely and reliably even at high working speeds and large widths of material with the lowest possible power requirement.
  • the present invention consists in a device for the automatic adaptation of the draw travel of the slur cock in a straight bar knitting machine so as to suit different working widths, comprising a separately driven setting device for changing the draw travel, a control mechanism arranged to be operated in accordance with the setting means for limiting yarn guide travel, sensing means coupled with the setting means, for limiting the travel of the yarn guide, and at least one mark which is adapted to indicate the draw travel of the slur cock and which is arranged to be sensed by the sensing means at least at one end ofits travel over an extent equal to the sum of the greatest widening step and the greatest narrowing step.
  • the sensing means can have one sensing element for each size change in the yarn guide travel on increasing and decreasing respectively in order to allow for different changes in size of travel, for instance by one or by two needles.
  • the device comprises a sensing device with a single-sensing element, and such a mark whose length is equal to the extent which is to be sensed and which corresponds to the sum of the greatest increasing and the greatest narrowing step in the change in travel of the yarn guide, and furthermore has subdivisions corresponding to the step.
  • the mark is arranged to be sensed selectively at both ends or only at one end of its travel. This allows a substantial adaptation of the draw travel of the slur cock or cocks to the required working width, for example for the production of asymmetrical pieces of knitted fabric.
  • FIG. I shows part of a straight bar knitting machine with a sensing device forming part of the invention, in perspective view.
  • P16. 2 shows a setting device for setting the draw spindle, in perspective view.

  • the adaptation of the draw travel of the slur cocks 32 to suit the width of the article being knit is in accordance with the setting means for the limitation of the yarn guide travel, which, as shown in FIG. 1, is set by means of the left-hand yarn guide lead screw or spindle l0 and its nut 100, and by the right-hand yarn guide lead screw or spindle 11 and its nut 110.
  • Other means can be used for limiting the travel of the yarn guide so that instead of the abutments shown it is also possible to use sprocket chain wheels, adjustable ramps or the like.
  • each of the two nuts which are prevented from rotating by a common guide shaft 1, comprises a lug 101, 111 which serves for carrying one or more vertically sliding yarn guide abutments or stops l2 and 120.

  • the nut 100 is coupled with the sensing device 2 by means of a connecting rod 103 which is attached by means of a holding means 102 with the nut 100.
  • the nut 110 is coupled with the sensing device 2 via a connecting rod 113 which is connected with the nut 110 by means of an attachment means 112 which simultaneously serves for supporting the connecting rod 103 so as to allow longitudinal movement.
  • the sensing device 2 consists of two sensing elements 20 and 21 for the sensing of the left-hand end of the draw path of the slur cock 32, and of the two sensing elements 22 and 23 for sensing the right-hand end of the draw travel or path of the slur cock 32.
  • the sensing elements 20 and 23 are for responding to or detecting a narrowing action while the sensing elements 21 and 22 respond to or detect an increase in the work ing width.
  • the sensing elements 20 and 21 are carried by a holding means 104, by means of which they are connected with the connecting rod 103 and thus with the nut 100.
  • the sensing elements 22 and 23 are in a similar manner connected with a holding means 114 and thus connected via the connecting rod 113 with the nut 110.
  • Both holding means 104 and 114 are mounted on a support rail so as to be able to slide.
  • the sensing elements can be in various forms, such as photoelectric detecting means with light beams, magnetic detecting means, pneumatic detecting means or as electrical sensing switches.
  • the invention is described with reference to an embodiment using photoelectric sensing elements, each sensing element 20, 21, and 22, 23 being provided with a light source 200, 210, and 220, 230 and a photocell 201, 211, and 221, 231, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3.
  • a mark 34 in the form of a light barrier is sensed at the end of its travel.
  • the mark is attached to an arm 33 and is constructed for cooperation with the photoelectric sensing elements.
  • the mark 34 is connected with the slur cock connecting, rail 30 or a similar part participating in the slur cock or draw movement.
  • the movement of this part can be stepped up or stepped down in relation to the movement of the slur cock connecting rail 30 so that the mark 34 connected with this part performs, for in stance, only a movement which is half that of the movement of the rail 30 connecting the slur cock.
  • the same velocity ratio must also be provided for the drive of the sensing device 2.
  • the adaptation of the travel of the slur cock 32 to the working width set by means of the nuts 100 and 110 acting as setting means is carried out by means of a conventional ratchet drive whose pawls 41 and 43 are controlled by means of stops 404 and 421.
  • the stop 404 is actuated by means of an electromagnet 40 (FIG. 2) via a Iinage 400 so that the pawl 41 engages one ratchet wheel 410.
  • an electromagnet 42 operates the stop 421 via a linkage 420 so that the pawl 43 can engage the ratchet wheel 430.
  • the pawls 41 and 43 are driven via a linkage 414, 434 by a roller follower lever 440 which cooperates with a driving eccentric 44.
  • the eccentric is fixed on the main eccentric shaft 4 and rotates with it. Since the actuating shaft 46, which is responsible for the setting of the draw lever drive ratio, takes part in the drawing movement, the shaft 46 has a longitudinal keyway and can be moved axially in relation to the ratchet drive.
  • the sensing of the draw travel can be carried out in two different manners by means of the sensing device 2 in accordance with whether the switching pulse for setting the draw travel is generated by interruption of the light beam of the photoelectric detecting means or by the light beam ceasing to be interrupted.
  • the arrangement of the sensing elements is set for narrowing or for widening with respect to the draw mark. It is'firstly assumed that the setting magnitude is the same both from narrowing and also widening; for example a widening by one needle and a narrowing by one needle should take place.
  • FIG. 4 Such a construction is shown in FIG. 4, the switching pulse being generated by interruption of the light beam between the light source 200 and 210 and the photocell 201 and 211.
  • two sensing elements 22 and 23 are arranged for sensing the draw travel on the right-hand side so that the draw travel is sensed on both sides and can be immediately adjusted. If the draw travel agrees with the working width, the mark 34, for example in the lefthand end position, assumes a central position between the sensing element 20 and the sensing element 21. The two light beams are not interrupted and consequently no setting or adjusting pulse is generated. The same applies for the two sensing elements 22 and 23 on the right-hand side.
  • the sensing elements 20 and 21 are moved to the right by the connecting rod 103 through this narrowing step. Consequently the mark 34 interrupts the light beam of the sensing element 20 in the lefthand end position.
  • the pulse generated causes an adjustment or setting so that the draw travel is decreased by this narrowing step.
  • the sensing elements 20 and 21 are moved to the left by the connecting rod 103 a distance equal to this widening step so that the mark 34 remains in its terminal position adjacent to the sensing element 21.
  • the light beam is interrupted and thus the actuating pulse is generated for increasing the slur cock or draw travel.
  • the mark can thus be sensed over a distance of two needles, resulting from the sum of the narrowing step equal to one needle and the increasing or widening step equal to one needle. If the breadth of the mark is less than this distance of two needle pitches, the distance S between the sensing elements 20 and 21 amounts to two needle pitches; if the breadth of the mark is, on the other hand, greater, the path S must also be increased by the amount by which the mark breadth is greater than these two needle pitches.
  • the manner of operation of the sensing elements 22 and 23 on the right-hand side is similar.
  • the distance of the sensing elements and 21 is so chosen that the mark 34 interrupts both light beams in the central position between the two sensing elements. If the working width is decreased, the sensing elements 20 and 21 are also displaced to the right through a distance equal to the size of the narrowing step. Since, however, the draw travel as indicated by mark 34 is greater, the right-hand sensing element is released so that a pulse is generated for decreasing the draw travel.
  • the sensing element 20 is arranged for decreasing the draw path towards the middle of the bed, while the sensing element 21 is arranged for increasing the draw path towards the end of the bed.
  • the sensing elements 22 and 23 at the right-hand end of the draw path which have positions opposite to those shown in FIG. 4.
  • the sensing device 2 can have one sensing element for each desired step size in the change of the path of the yarn guide both for narrowing and also for widening.
  • a sensing device is shown in principle in FIGS. 6 and 7. In the case of the embodiment of FIG.
  • the switching pulse for the draw path adjustment is generated by interruption of the light beam, while in the case of the construction in accordance with FIG. 7 the switching pulse is produced by beam ceasing to be interrupted.
  • the connecting rod 103 for the left-hand sensing elements 20, 21 24, and 25 for sensing the draw path is shown.
  • the sensing element 21, arranged nearest the middle of the needle bed, generates the pulse for widening by one needle, the sensing element 20 the pulse for narrowing by one needle, the sensing element 24 the pulse for narrowing by two needles, and the sensing element 25 for narrowing by four needles.
  • the distance between the sensing elements 20 and 21 can be chosen as desired and only the breadth of the mark 34 need be adapted to suit this distance, the distance between the sensing elements 20 and 21 must amount to one needle pitch while the distance between the sensing elements 24 and 25 must amount to two needle pitches. If the mark 34 is not driven directly from the slur cock connecting rail 30 but is stepped up, the distances between the sensing elements 20 and 24 and 24 and 25 change in accordance with the velocity ratio.
  • the distance between the sensing elements 20 and 21 is so chosen that the mark does not cover both sensing elements in the central position. If a narrowing operation equal to two needles is to be carried out, the four sensing elements are moved to the right by the connecting rod by a distance corresponding to two needle pitches so that the mark 34 comes into its left-hand end position and is adjacent to the sensing element 24 and also the sensing element 20.
  • the photoelectric sensing means are connected electrically with each other in such a manner that only the photoelectric sensing element 24 can be effective and the draw path is shortened by two needles. If the narrowing by four needles is to take place, the light beam of the sensing element 25 is interrupted and a draw path reduction takes place corresponding to four needles.
  • FIG. 7 the arrangement of the same sensing elements is changed over in accordance with the other mode of operation, that is to say the sensing element 21 for increasing by one needle is arranged nearest the outer edge of the needle bed, while the sensing element 20 for decreasing by one needle is arranged nearest the middle of the bed. From inwards in an outward direction the sensing elements 24 and 25 follow. Otherwise this device operates in a manner similar to that shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the manner of operation is as follows: Since the sensing element 21 detects the left-hand end of the draw path and reacts to an increase by one needle, when the draw path agrees with the working width the switching lug 341 stops in a position to the left of the light beam of the sensing element by a distance equal to one needle pitch.
  • the switching lug 340 on the other hand is two needle pitches to the right of the sensing element 24. If a widening by one needle is to be carried out, the sensing element 21 is displaced by one needle pitch to the left and the light beam is interrupted by the switching lug 341, thus creating the generation of the switching pulse forthe setting of the draw path.
  • the distance of the switching lug 340 from the sensing element 24 has, however, been increased up to three needle pitches.
  • the sensing element 24 is moved by two needle pitches to the right, so that the light beam is interrupted by the switching lug 340.
  • the distance of the switching lug 341 to the sensing element 21 is increased up to three needle pitches. In this position the switching pulse is generated for setting or adjusting the draw path.
  • the arrangement of.the sensing elements can be varied in accordance with how the pulse for the setting or adjustment of the draw path is generated.
  • the mark indicating the draw travel can be made of several switching lugs or switching cams so that for example a separate lug is used for the increasing sensing elements and decreasing sensing elements.
  • FIGS. 4 to 8 only indicate principles given by way of example and can be exchanged one for the other.
  • FIG. 3 The electrical arrangement of the devices described, for ex' ample in accordance with FIG. 5 is shown in FIG. 3.

  • the relay 602 has a contact 602 in circuit with the magnet 42 and the relay 603 has contact, 603 in circuit with the electromagnet 40.
  • the light sources 200, 210, 220 and 230 are connected with the source of voltage, while the electromagnets 40 and 42 are disconnected from the source of voltage owing to the contacts 602' and 603' being opened. It", for example, the yarn guide path is diminished, one of the outer light beams, for example the light beam of the sensing element 23 is interrupted and a pulse is generated in the corresponding amplifier 232.
  • the switch contacts 601-601 are only closed when the mark 34 has reached its terminal position. In this manner the relay 602, for example, cannot be excited when the mark 34 interrupts the light beam of the sensing element 22 during its travel before reaching its final position.
  • the switch contacts 601-601 are closed by the cam disc 600 on the main eccentric shaft 60. In the example given the relay 603 is thus excited and closes its contact 603.
  • the electromagnet 40 is energized and thus releases the pawl 41 by operating the stop 404.
  • the light beams of the other sensing elements 20, 21, and 22 are operated in a similar manner so that it is not necessary to described their manner of operation as well.
