Definitions

  • the invention relates to a preassembled thread guide unit, a flat knitting machine with a preassembled thread guide rail unit arranged thereon and a method for equipping a flat knitting machine with independently driven thread guides.
  • the EP 0 415 512 A1 discloses a flat knitting machine with independent from the carriage by means of servo motors drivable yarn guides, which are movable on a corresponding yarn guide rail in the longitudinal direction of the needle beds.
  • the drive motors are attached as separate components on the machine frame. For operation, all components must first be attached to the individual thread guide rails. Then the drive motor is mounted on the machine frame and then the connection between the motor and the thread guide has to be attached.
  • From the GB 2 269 826 A is a machine known in which working elements are connected to a rail, which in turn is positively connected to a rack.
  • a toothed belt engages in the teeth of the rod, wherein a roller simultaneously forms the drive wheel of the servomotor.
  • rollers and a servo motor are arranged, wherein the toothed belt is driven to drive the rack via the rollers.
  • the GB 2 176 213 A discloses a weft knitting machine with yarn guides mounted on mounting bars. These in turn are slidably guided on supports. Below the needle bar is arranged, which is vertically movable and are attached to which needles. The horizontal movement of the yarn guides and the Kulierkurven is initiated by means of hydraulic cylinders, which are connected to mounting rods.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a way to reduce the assembly times of a flat knitting machine and to increase service friendliness.
  • a preassembled yarn guide rail unit with the features of claim 1.
  • a new module of a flat knitting machine is provided, namely a preassembled yarn guide rail unit.
  • This yarn guide rail unit can be assembled, adjusted, tested and tested outside the flat knitting machine.
  • the preassembled thread guide rail unit can be fully functional inserted into the flat knitting machine and the flat knitting machine can be put into operation immediately.
  • At least one servomotor may be provided for moving a yarn guide blade. Also, the corresponding servo motor can be pre-assembled on the thread guide rail unit.
  • sensors may be provided on the yarn guide rail unit, which are necessary for the proper operation of the self-propelled yarn guide. These sensors can also be preassembled and tested on the thread guide rail unit.
  • At least one electrical interface is provided.
  • a preassembled thread guide rail unit can be connected particularly simply and quickly to the flat knitting machine.
  • the interface may be formed as a plug.
  • the interface may for example be provided on a thread guide drive which therefore only has to be electrically connected via a plug.
  • the yarn guide rail unit has all the components that are necessary to drive the thread guide arranged on it. Thus, the thread guide rail unit is ready for use immediately after insertion into the flat knitting machine.
  • fastening pieces fastened to the thread guide rail are provided in the two end regions of the yarn guide rail unit for fastening yarn guide drives, wherein the yarn guide drives fastened to the mounting pieces have a different distance from the yarn guide rails in one end region of the yarn guide rail unit than in the opposite end region.
  • This makes it possible to incorporate yarn guide rail units, which are arranged side by side, in a different orientation on a flat knitting machine.
  • the yarn guide drives arranged in the end regions are offset relative to one another.
  • the yarn guide drives of a yarn guide rail unit are arranged in the gap which is provided in the adjacent yarn guide rail unit between the yarn guide rail and the first yarn guide drive. This makes it possible to arrange the yarn guide rail units closer to each other on a flat knitting machine. This in turn means that more yarn guide rail units can be installed on a flat knitting machine.
  • the thread guide rail of the preassembled thread guide rail unit is formed of aluminum. This results in a lightweight construction for the preassembled thread guide rail unit so that it can be easily handled by a fitter.
  • the change of a yarn guide rail unit can be done without a crane.
  • the scope of the invention also includes a flat knitting machine having a preassembled thread guide rail unit according to the invention arranged thereon.
  • Such a flat knitting machine can be constructed with low assembly times.
  • the flat knitting machine may have two opposing bearings for at least one preassembled yarn guide rail unit, wherein the yarn guide rail unit is loosely mounted on a bearing.
  • the smooth operation of the flat knitting machine is ensured. It may be mentioned at this point that the thread guide rail unit is preferably connected and fixed to the flat knitting machine at only two or three points. As a result, the assembly and service times can be further reduced.
  • An embodiment of a flat knitting machine can be characterized in that a plurality of preassembled yarn guide rail units are provided, wherein the yarn guide rail units are arranged in a fan-like manner. This makes it possible to provide more yarn guide rail units on a flat knitting machine. In principle, however, it is also conceivable that preassembled thread guide rail units are arranged in exactly parallel alignment next to one another on the flat knitting machine.
  • a yarn guide rail unit according to the invention is first completely pre-assembled, the components set to each other and the operation of the Thread guide rail unit tested outside the flat knitting machine. Only then the yarn guide rail unit is inserted into the flat knitting machine and electrically connected thereto. The yarn guide rail unit is thus first preassembled and tested as a function-terminated unit. Only then will it be installed on the flat knitting machine. It is also possible to make yarn guide rail units in stock and to keep them in the vicinity of a flat knitting machine, so that in case of failure quickly a yarn guide rail unit can be removed from the flat knitting machine and replaced by a vorhaltene yarn guide rail unit.
  • the Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a single preassembled yarn guide rail unit 10 in a ready state, in which it can be used in a flat knitting machine.
  • the yarn guide rail unit 10 comprises a yarn guide rail 11, on which yarn guides 12 - 15 are arranged to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the yarn guide rail 11.
  • the yarn guides 12 - 15 are so-called self-propelled yarn guides. This means that each thread guide 12 - 15 is assigned its own thread guide drive.
  • the thread guide drives 16-19 are coupled to the thread guides 12-15, respectively via a drive means, wherein in the exemplary embodiment, only one drive belt 20 designed as a drive belt is provided with a reference number.
  • 10 servomotors 21-24 are arranged on the yarn guide rail unit, via which the yarn guide blades 25-28 can be moved.
  • thread guide drives 16 - 19 are attached. It is conspicuous that the thread guide drives 16, 17 are further away from the end of the thread guide rail 11 than the drives 18, 19, which adjoin directly to the opposite end of the thread guide rail 11. Between the yarn guide drive 17 and the end 31 of the yarn guide rail 11 thus remains a gap.
  • the components of the completely pre-assembled yarn guide rail unit 10 according to the Fig. 1 can each other can be adjusted and then the operation of the yarn guide rail unit 10 can be tested and checked. If it has been determined that the yarn guide rail unit 10 is fully functional, this can completely, as in the Fig. 1 is shown used in a flat knitting machine. This is in the Fig. 2 shown.
  • the flat knitting machine 100 has a base frame 50, a needle bed support 60, mounted thereon supports or bearings 70, 71 for receiving thread guide rail units 10.1 - 10.8.
  • the thread guide rail units 10.1-10.8 here show a fan-like arrangement.
  • the thread guide units 10.1 - 10.8 are radially aligned.
  • the yarn guide drives 18.1, 19.1 and 16.2, 17.2 are arranged offset to one another.
  • the yarn guide rail units 10.1, 10.2 have been installed in a different orientation so that the yarn guide drives 18.1, 19.1 are arranged where the adjacent yarn guide rail unit 10.2 has a gap between the yarn guide drives 16.2, 17.2 and the end of the yarn guide rail. If, accordingly, a thread guide drive should be somewhat wider than the thread guide rail, this would have no influence on the installation space required for the thread guide rail unit 10.1-10.8.
  • the yarn guide rail units 10.1 - 10.8 can therefore be arranged closer to each other. In principle, it would also be conceivable not to arrange the yarn guide rail units 10.1 - 10.8 in a fan-like manner, but in a parallel orientation.
  • Each of the yarn guide rail units 10.1 - 10.8 can be removed separately without affecting the other yarn guide rail units 10.1-10.8. A faulty yarn guide rail unit 10.1 - 10.8 can thus be exchanged particularly easily. After a new installation of a thread guide rail unit 10.1 - 10.8, this does not have to be tested and adjusted first, but can be put into operation immediately.
