What is sock machine?------ A knitting machine that produces socks.
In 1589, the British W. Lee invented the first knitting machine, using hook-knitted forming socks. In 1849, a single-needle round sock machine appeared as a result of the application of the tongue to a small-diameter circular machine. Originally produced tailored socks, it was not until 1857 that socks with pocket-shaped socks and socks were woven. In 1864, the British W. Cottonon invented the Coton Socks (crochet flat knitting machine). In 1900, a double-needle round sock machine and a woven rib socks were produced due to the application of the double-headed needle to the small-diameter circular machine. The sock can be woven by a special mechanism of a sock machine, or manually transferred to a sock machine after completion by other machines. Socks, high heels, stockings, socks (including socks and socks), reinforcements and socks are knitted by a sock machine.
Classification of socks machine
The sock machine can be classified according to the form of a needle bed, the type of knitting needles and the number of syringes (beds). The flat socks machine has a higher machine number, and produces a flat-shaped sock piece that changes the width of each section according to the shape of the foot and the leg, and is stitched to form a seamed sock. The machine range of the sock machine is wide. The production of tubular sock blanks is adapted to the shape of the coils by changing the coil size of each section, or by using elastic yarns or weaving forming sock heads and socks. The toe of the tubular sock blank is closed to form a seamless sock. The flat socks machine has a low production efficiency, and the sock machine is widely used at present. The sock machine structure sock machine is mainly composed of a yarn feeding mechanism, a knitting mechanism, a needle selection mechanism, a control mechanism, a transmission mechanism, a density adjustment mechanism and a pulling mechanism. Some socks machines also have a mouth and a folding mechanism. The flat socks machine still has a transfer mechanism.
The function of the yarn feeding mechanism is to take the yarn out of the bobbin and feed it into the weaving area, which has two types: negative and positive. Negative yarn feeding is caused by tension to pull the yarn out of the bobbin. Although the tensioner and the tension compensating device control the tension and the amount of the yarn, the yarn tension difference is still large. The active yarn is fed by a special device to feed the yarn into the weaving zone at a constant linear velocity with a small difference in yarn tension.
The function of the weaving mechanism is to weave the yarn into a tubular sock blank or a flat sock by working the looping mechanism. The knitting machine of the sock machine has knitting needles, sinkers, yarn guides and triangles. The flat socks machine has knitting needles, curved yarn sheets, split yarn sheets, knock-off sheets, yarn guides and tableting. The knitting needle of the sock machine is arranged on the syringe, and the yarn guide is fixed around the barrel to feed the yarn into the knitting area. There are several incoming lines called several roads, generally 1~12 roads, the more the number of roads, the higher the productivity. When the syringe is rotated, the latch needle is moved up and down by the action of a triangle, and is woven by the yarn guide of the yarn guide. When knitting the heel and the toe, the needle and the needle are engaged by the needle picker and the needle to form a bag shape. The knitting needles of the flat socks machine are fixed on the needle bed and move together with the needle bed. The yarn guide moves along the needle bed to perform the yarn laying, and at the same time, the knitting is performed by the cooperation of the bending piece, the dividing piece and the knocking piece.
The function of the control mechanism is to control the entry or exit of the machine during the process of weaving a sock, and to control the length of the syringe and the speed and steering and the length of the socks. The role of the transmission mechanism is to move the mechanisms in a predetermined pattern. The syringe of the sock machine not only makes one-way rotation, but also makes two-way rotation when weaving the sock and the toe. The function of the needle selection mechanism is to arrange the pre-designed patterns in the needle selection device in accordance with the requirements, and to transmit the knitting needles according to a certain procedure. The function of the density adjusting mechanism is to adjust the density of each section when knitting the socks by adjusting the relative positions of the knitting needles and the sinkers to adjust the bending depth. The function of the pulling mechanism is to take the formed coil out of the woven area by means of a weight, a roller, a gas flow or the like during the weaving process.
The function of the opening and folding mechanism is to start the mouth when the socks start to weave without coils, and fold the mouth when the socks are woven to a certain length, and fold the single layer of socks into double layers to make the socks have a good Elastic, no curling, usually done with a sock hook. The main function of the transfer mechanism is to move the coil from one needle to the other with a transfer mechanism to change the knitting width of the hosiery and shape it.
