Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine mehrsystemige Rundstrickmaschine mit elektromagnetischer Nadelauswahl, wobei den Nadeln zugeordnete, längsverstellbare und verschwenkbare Auswahlplatinen an jeder Auswahlstelle gegen die Kraft einer Rückstellfeder durch ein Druckschloßteil einem Auswahlmagneten angeboten werden.
Bei Rundstrickmaschinen mit elektromagnetischer Nadelauswahl ergeben sich mit der Erhöhung der Maschinendrehzahlen auch Probleme bezüglich der sicheren Funktion der Nadelauswahleinrichtung. Hierbei haben sich Betriebsverschleißerscheinungen an den Auswahlplatinen und Auswahlschloßteilen als Störgefahrquelle herausgestellt. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Rundstrickmaschinen der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß Verschleißerscheinungen der Auswahlplatinen, welche die Funktionsfähigkeit der elektromagnetischen Nadelauswahleinrichtung beeinflussen könnten, vermindert und ihr negativer Einfluß verringert wird.
The invention relates to a multi-system circular knitting machine with electromagnetic needle selection, wherein the needles, longitudinally adjustable and pivotable selection boards are offered at each selection point against the force of a return spring by a pressure lock part to a selection magnet.
In circular knitting machines with electromagnetic needle selection, problems with the safe functioning of the needle selection device also arise with the increase in the machine speeds. Signs of operational wear on the selection boards and selection lock parts have emerged as a source of interference. The invention is based on the object of designing circular knitting machines of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that there are signs of wear and tear on the selection boards, which affect the functionality could affect the electromagnetic needle selection device, and its negative influence is reduced.

Vorschläge zur Lösung dieses Problems sind in Verbindung mit Maschinen des zuvor genannten Typs bereits aus der DE-A 2 453 275 in Form einstellbarer Schloßteile zur axialen Einstellung der Auswahlplatinen sowie aus der FR-A 2 179 414 durch elastische Deformation der Auswahlplatine während des Anbietens der Auswahlplatine an den Auswahlmagneten bekannt geworden.Proposals for solving this problem are already in connection with machines of the aforementioned type from DE-A 2 453 275 in the form of adjustable lock parts for the axial adjustment of the selection boards and from FR-A 2 179 414 by elastic deformation of the selection board during the offering of Selection board on the selection magnet become known.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Nadelschlösser und die Platinenschlösser aller Systeme übereinander auf einem gemeinsamen Tragring angeordnet sind, der über einzelnen Rippen auf einer Schloßträgerplatte des Maschinengestelles ruht, daß die Auswahlmagnete durch den zwischen den Rippen gebildeten Freiraum zwischen dem Tragring und der Schloßträgerplatte in einen radial innerhalb der Auswahlplatinen liegenden Bereich einsetzbar sind und der Magnethalter am Tragring verankerbar ist und daß die Platinenschlösser für jede Nadelauswahlstelle zwei auf die Auswahlplatinen einwirkende, in Axialrichtung der Maschine gegeneinander versetzte Druckschloßteile zum Anbieten aufweisen.The object is achieved in that the needle locks and the circuit board locks of all systems are arranged one above the other on a common support ring which rests on individual ribs on a lock carrier plate of the machine frame that the selection magnets through the space between the ribs formed between the support ring and the The lock carrier plate can be inserted into a region lying radially within the selection boards and the magnet holder can be anchored to the support ring and that the board locks for each needle selection point have two pressure lock parts acting on the selection boards and offset with respect to one another in the axial direction of the machine.

Bei der erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Rundstrickmaschine können die Auswahlmagnete ohne Abbau der zugehörigen Systemschlösser eingesetzt, ausgewechselt und vor allen Dingen nachjustiert werden. Von den beiden Druckschloßteilen bewirkt eines die Hauptverschwenkbewegung der Auswahlplatinen in Richtung auf den Auswahlmagneten. Der zweite Nocken, der zweckmäßig feineinstellbar angeordnet ist, bewirkt dann das genaue Anbieten durch Andrücken der Auswahlplatine an den Auswahlmagneten, wobei vorteilhafterweise ein leichtes Überdrücken erfolgen kann, so daß ein elastisches Durchbiegen der an ihrem Schwenkpunkt am Nutgrund und an ihrem freien Ende am Auswahlmagneten abgestützten Auswahlplatinen erfolgt. Vorteilhafterweise wirkt das erste Druckschloßteil auf den geradlinigen Endbereich des Schaftes der Auswahlplatine ein, die auf der entgegengesetzten Seite im Endbereich die Magnetankerfläche aufweist. Dabei kann die gleichzeitig als Nadelstößer dienende Auswahlplatine während ihrer durch das erste Druckschloßteil ausgelösten Schwenkbewegung ungehindert auch eine Längsbewegung ausführen. Das zweite Druckschloßteil wirkt dann vorteilhafterweise auf den mit Abstand vom Auswahlplatinenende angeordneten Austriebsfuß der Auswahlplatine ein, wodurch das elastische Durchbiegen der Auswahlplatine beim leichten Überdrücken stattfinden kann.In the circular knitting machine designed according to the invention, the selection magnets can be used, removed and, above all, readjusted without removing the associated system locks. One of the two pressure lock parts effects the main pivoting movement of the selection boards in the direction of the selection magnet. The second cam, which is expediently arranged so that it can be adjusted, then brings about the precise offer by pressing the selection board onto the selection magnet, whereby a slight overpressure can advantageously be carried out, so that elastic deflection of those supported at their pivot point on the groove base and at their free end on the selection magnet Selection boards done. Advantageously, the first pressure lock part acts on the rectilinear end region of the shaft of the selection board, which on the opposite side in the end region has the magnetic armature surface. The selection board, which also serves as a needle pusher, can also perform a longitudinal movement unhindered during its pivoting movement triggered by the first pressure lock part. The second pressure lock part then advantageously acts on the expulsion foot of the selection board, which is arranged at a distance from the end of the selection board, as a result of which the selection board can bend elastically when slightly pressed over.

Der Hauptverschleiß an der Auswahlplatine findet am Schaftbereich der Auswahlplatine statt, wo das erste Druckschloßteil angreift. Dagegen bleibt der Verschleiß am Austriebsfuß und an dem dort einwirkenden zweiten Nocken gering, also an den Teilen, welche letztlich die Andrückstellung der Auswahlplatine bestimmen.The main wear on the selection board takes place on the shaft area of the selection board, where the first pressure lock part engages. In contrast, the wear on the output foot and on the second cam acting there remains low, that is to say on the parts which ultimately determine the pressing position of the selection board.

Die Führungsstege des Nadelzylinders können auf der Höhe des ersten Druckschloßteiles der Nadelauswahlstellen auf ihrer Außenseite eine Aussparung aufweisen, in welche das erste Druckschloßteil eintauchen kann. Somit besteht an dieser Stelle noch keine Belastung des Platinenfußes, die Auswahlplatinen können zwischen den Stegen seitlich nicht verkanten und sie sind zwischen den Stegen voll geführt. Trifft der Platinenfuß auf das zweite Druckschloßteil, ist er bereits teilweise zwischen die Stege eingetaucht. Auch bei feinen Maschinenteilungen und dünnen Platinenstegen muß kein seitliches Wegbiegen der Auswahlplatinen befürchtet werden. Auch entsteht durch die Ausbildung der beiden Druckschloßteile eine Platzeinsparung am Umfang der Systeme, weil sich das Verschwenken und die Längsverschiebung der Auswahlplatinen teilweise überlappen lassen.At the level of the first pressure lock part of the needle selection points, the guide webs of the needle cylinder can have a recess on their outside into which the first pressure lock part can be immersed. This means that there is no load on the board base at this point, the selection boards cannot tilt laterally between the webs and they are fully guided between the webs. If the board foot meets the second pressure lock part, it is already partially immersed between the webs. Even with fine machine divisions and thin board bars, there is no need to fear bending the selection boards sideways. The formation of the two pressure lock parts also saves space on the circumference of the systems because the pivoting and the longitudinal displacement of the selection boards can be partially overlapped.

Die Betriebssicherheit der Nadelauswahl bei der erfin-dungsgemäß ausgebildeten Rundstrickmaschine kann zusätzlich dadurch erhöht werden, daß der von den radial innerhalb der Auswahlplatinenenden angeordneten Auswahlmagneten eingenommene Umfangsbereich der Maschine nach innen durch einen am Nadelzylinder befestigten Ringmantel aus magnetisch nichtleitendem Material abgeschlossen wird. Dadurch werden magnetische Rückschlußnebenkreise über den Nadelzylinder vermieden, und die gesamte Magnetenergie steht an den Magnetpolen zur Einwirkung auf die Auswahlplatinen zur Verfügung.The operational reliability of the needle selection in the circular knitting machine designed according to the invention can be additionally increased in that the circumferential area of the machine, which is occupied by the selection magnets arranged radially inside the selection board ends, is closed inwards by an annular jacket made of magnetically non-conductive material attached to the needle cylinder. This avoids secondary magnetic return circuits via the needle cylinder, and the entire magnetic energy is available at the magnetic poles to act on the selection boards.

Bei der Magnetanordnung gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es auch möglich, die durch die unvermeidliche Erwärmung der Maschine während des Betriebes auftretenden Abmessungsveränderungen im Bereich der wichtigen und einjustierten Nadelauswahlstellen zu kompensieren. Hierzu kann erfindungsgemäß der am Tragring verankerbare Magnethalter aus einem, insbesondere auf einer Justierplatte radialverstellbar und kippbar angeordneten Steg bestehen, auf dessen inneres Ende ein magnetisch nichtleitendes Teil mit dem Auswahlmagneten aufgesetzt ist, der radial nach außen gerichtete Weicheisen-Polschuhe aufweist. Die Wärmeausdehnung, die der am Tragring verankerte Steg erfährt und die radial nach innen erfolgt, wird durch die Wärmedehnung, welche die Weicheisen-Polschuhe in entgegengesetzter Richtung radial nach außen erfahren, praktisch aufgehoben.With the magnet arrangement according to the present invention, it is also possible to compensate for the dimensional changes occurring in the area of the important and adjusted needle selection points due to the inevitable heating of the machine during operation. For this purpose, according to the invention, the magnet holder which can be anchored to the support ring can consist of a web, in particular arranged radially adjustable and tiltable on an adjusting plate, on the inner end of which a magnetically non-conductive part with the selection magnet is placed, which has radially outwardly directed soft iron pole shoes. The thermal expansion experienced by the web anchored to the support ring and which takes place radially inward is practically canceled out by the thermal expansion which the soft iron pole shoes experience radially outward in the opposite direction.

Nachfolgend werden die wesentlichen Teile einer erfindungsgemäß ausgebildeten Rundstrickmaschine anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnung näher erläutert.The essential parts of a circular knitting machine designed according to the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawing.

Der Radialschnitt nach Fig. 1 zeigt von einer Rundstrickmaschine den Nadelzylinder 10 mit einem umlaufenden Zylindertragring 11 mit äußerem Antriebszahnkranz 12 und ein Maschinengestellteil 13 mit aufgesetzter stationärer Schloßplatte 14, über welcher sich mit Abstand ein Tragring 15 befindet, der über in Abständen angeordnete Rippen 16 mit der Schloßplatte 14 verbunden ist. Auf dem Tragring 15 sind für jedes System der Rundstrickmaschine ein unterer Platinenschloßträger 17 und ein oberer Nadelschloßträger 18 befestigt, die einzeln abgenommen werden können. Beide Schloßträger können aber auch zu einer einzelnen Baueinheit zusammengefaßt sein. Der Nadelschloßträger 18 ist mittels einer Befestigungsschraube 19 am Platinenschloßträger 17 befestigt, während der Platinenschloßträger 17 über eine Befestigungsschraube 20 am Tragring 15 verankert ist.The radial section according to FIG. 1 shows the needle cylinder 10 of a circular knitting machine with a circumferential cylinder support ring 11 with an external drive ring gear 12 and a machine frame part 13 with a stationary lock plate 14, over which there is a support ring 15 at a distance, which also has ribs 16 arranged at intervals the lock plate 14 is connected. For each system of the circular knitting machine, a lower plate lock carrier 17 and an upper needle lock carrier 18 are fastened on the support ring 15, which can be removed individually. Both lock carriers can also be combined into a single structural unit. The needle lock carrier 18 is fastened to the circuit board lock carrier 17 by means of a fastening screw 19, while the circuit board lock carrier 17 is anchored to the supporting ring 15 via a fastening screw 20.

Im Nadelzylinder 10 sind zwischen eingesetzten Stegen 23 Nadeln 21 und als Nadelstößer wirkende Auswahlplatinen 22 geführt, die in Fig. 2 vergrößert dargestellt sind. Der Nadelzylinder 10 endet unten auf der Höhe des Tragringes 15, wo im umlaufenden Maschinenteil radial innerhalb der durch die Führungsstege 23 gebildeten Führungsnuten für die Nadeln 21 und die Auswahlplatinen 22 befindlicher Freiraum 24 geschaffen ist, der über die zwischen den Rippen 16 befindlichen Freiräume zugänglich ist und in welchem die Auswahlmagnete 25 der Nadelauswahlstellen angeordnet sind. Der Freiraum 24 ist nach innen durch einen Ringmantel 26 aus magnetisch nichtleitendem Material begrenzt, der zwischen dem Nadelzylinder 10 und dem Zylindertragring 11 befestigt ist und der ein magnetisches Kurzschließen der Auswahlmagnete 25 über den Nadelzylinder ausschließt. Die Auswahlmagnete 25 sind am Ende eines stegartigen Magnethalters 27 angeordnet der über eine Justierplatte 28 auf der Unterseite des stationären Tragringes 15 mittels zweier Stellschrauben 29.1 und 29.2 in Radialrichtung einstellbar und kippbar und mittels einer Klemmschraube 30 feststellbar angeordnet ist, wobei die beiden Stellschrauben 29.1, 29.2 in einer am Tragring 15 befestigten Halteplatte 31 gelagert sind.In needle cylinder 10, needles 21 and selection boards 22, which act as needle pushers, are guided between inserted webs 23 and are shown enlarged in FIG. 2. The needle cylinder 10 ends at the level of the support ring 15, where in the rotating machine part radially inside the guide grooves formed by the guide webs 23 for the needles 21 and the selection boards 22, free space 24 is created which is accessible via the free spaces located between the ribs 16 and in which the selection magnets 25 of the needle selection points are arranged. The free space 24 is delimited on the inside by an annular jacket 26 made of magnetically non-conductive material, which is fastened between the needle cylinder 10 and the cylinder support ring 11 and which excludes a magnetic short-circuiting of the selection magnets 25 via the needle cylinder. The selection magnets 25 are one at the end web-like magnet holder 27 arranged via an adjusting plate 28 on the underside of the stationary support ring 15 by means of two setscrews 29.1 and 29.2 adjustable and tiltable in the radial direction and lockable by means of a clamping screw 30, the two setscrews 29.1, 29.2 in a holding plate fastened to the support ring 15 31 are stored.

Fig. 2 zeigt die Schloßteile des Platinenschloßträgers 17 und des Nadelschloßträgers 18 von zwei benachbarten Systemen der Rundstrickmaschine. Am Platinenschloßträger 17 ist in einer Ringnut ein Platinensicherungsring 32 angeordnet, der beim Abnehmen des Platinenschloßträgers 17 ein Herausfallen der Auswahlplatinen 22 aus ihren Führungsnuten im Nadelzylinder 10 verhindert. Das Nadelschloß weist in bekannter Weise ein Kulierschloßteil 33 mit einem Gegenschloßteil 34 auf, die gemeinsam über eine aus Fig. 1 ersichtliche Stellscheibe 35 verstellbar sind. Die Nadelschloßteile wirken auf einen Fuß 21.1 der Nadeln 21 ein. Die als Nadelstößer wirkenden Auswahlplatinen 22 sind mit einem Kopf 22.1, einem Austriebsfuß 22.2, einem Schwenkpunkt 22.3 und mit einer Rückstellfeder 35 versehen. Am unteren Ende der Auswahlplatine 22 ist auf der Rückseite eine Ankerfläche 22.4 und auf der entgegengesetzten Vorderseite eine geradlinige Auflauffläche 22.5 am Schaft der Auswahlplatine 22 ausgebildet, die eine gleichzeitige Längs- und Schwenkbewegung der Auswahlplatine 22 erlaubt. Am Austriebsfuß 22.2 befindet sich eine zweite Auflauffläche 22.6.Fig. 2 shows the lock parts of the blank lock carrier 17 and the needle lock carrier 18 of two adjacent systems of the circular knitting machine. On the circuit board lock carrier 17, a circuit board retaining ring 32 is arranged in an annular groove, which prevents the selection boards 22 from falling out of their guide grooves in the needle cylinder 10 when the circuit board lock carrier 17 is removed. In a known manner, the needle lock has a wedge lock part 33 with a counter-lock part 34, which can be adjusted together via an adjusting disc 35 shown in FIG. 1. The needle lock parts act on a foot 21.1 of the needles 21. The selection boards 22, which act as needle pushers, are provided with a head 22.1, an expulsion foot 22.2, a pivot point 22.3 and a return spring 35. At the lower end of the selection board 22, an anchor surface 22.4 is formed on the rear side and a rectilinear run-up surface 22.5 on the shaft of the selection board 22 on the opposite front side, which permits a simultaneous longitudinal and pivoting movement of the selection board 22. A second run-up surface 22.6 is located on the output foot 22.2.

Der Platinenschloßträger 17 weist ein Austriebsschloßteil 36 für den Austriebsfuß 22.2 und zwei gegeneinander versetzte Druckschloßteile, nämlich ein erstes Druckschloßteil 37 und ein zweites Druckschloßteil 38 auf, deren Wirkung nachfolgend in Verbindung mit den Fig. 3 - 8 näher erläutert wird. Die beiden Druckschloßteile 37 und 38 befinden sich in der durch einen Pfeil 39 angezeigten Durchlaufrichtung der Auswahlplatinen 22 jeweils vor dem Auswahlbereich A des Auswahlmagneten 25 der dem betreffenden System zugeordneten Nadelauswahlstelle. Weitere Schloßteile 40 und 41 dienen zur Einwirkung auf den Platinenkopf 22.1 oder zur Sicherung des Platinenschaftes im Bereich seines Schwenkpunktes 22.3. Die Schloßteile 40 geben den Weg für eine Austriebsbewegung der Auswahlplatinen 22 nach oben frei und führen sie am Platinenkopf 22.1 wieder nach unten in den Durchlaufkanal 40.1, auf dessen Höhe an den Nadelauswahlstellen die Nadelauswahl stattfindet. Zwischen dem Schloßteil 41 und dem Schaft der Auswahlplatinen 22 besteht ein bestimmtes Spiel. Das Schloßteil 41 wirkt also nicht als Druckschloßteil.The circuit board lock carrier 17 has an expulsion lock part 36 for the expulsion foot 22.2 and two mutually offset pressure lock parts, namely a first pressure lock part 37 and a second pressure lock part 38, the effect of which is explained in more detail below in connection with FIGS. 3-8. The two pressure lock parts 37 and 38 are each in the direction of passage of the selection boards 22 indicated by an arrow 39 in front of the selection area A of the selection magnet 25 of the needle selection point assigned to the system in question. Further lock parts 40 and 41 serve to act on the board head 22.1 or to secure the board shaft in the region of its pivot point 22.3. The lock parts 40 clear the way for an expulsion movement of the selection boards 22 upward and guide them downward again on the board head 22.1 into the passageway 40.1, at the height of which the needle selection takes place at the needle selection points. There is a certain play between the lock part 41 and the shaft of the selection boards 22. The lock part 41 thus does not act as a pressure lock part.

In der vergrößerten Darstellung nach Fig. 3 und 4 des Platinenaustriebsschloßteiles 36 mit seiner Austriebskante 36.1 für den Austriebsfuß 22.2 der Auswahlplatinen 22 ist dieser Austriebsfuß 22.2 in mehreren Durchlaufstellungen im Bereich des ersten Druckschloßteiles 37 und des zweiten Druckschloßteiles 38 gezeigt. Vier der Durchlaufstellungen sind mit den Ziffern V, VI, VII, VIII bezeichnet. In Fig. 4 ist zusätzlich zu den Platinenschloßteilen noch der Endabschnitt einer Auswahlplatine 22 dargestellt. Aus Fig. 4 ist gut erkennbar, daß die Auswahlplatinen 22 in der Durchlaufrichtung 39 zunächst mit ihrer Auflauffläche 22.5 auf das relativ flach ansteigende erste Druckschloßteil 37 auftreffen und durch dieses Druckschloßteil 37 verschwenkt werden, bis in der Stellung VII der Austriebsfuß 22.2 mit seiner Auflauffläche 22.6 auf das zweite Druckschloßteil 38 trifft, das durch ein Zwischenstück 42 in seiner Lage genau justierbar ist und das weitere Verschwenken der Auswahlplatine 22 bis zum Anbieten an einen Auswahlmagneten 25 besorgt. Das zweite Druckschloßteil 38 endet in Durchlaufrichtung in einer Abwurfkante 38.1, die ein Rückverschwenken der vom Auswahlmagneten 25 losgelassenen Platinen 22 unter der Rückstellwirkung ihrer Feder 35 erlaubt. Aus Fig. 3 ist noch eine Ausnehmung 43 im Austriebsschloßteil 36 ersichtlich, in welche die Austriebsfüße 22.2 von in Rundlaufstellung befindlichen, also nicht auf die Austriebskante 36.1 des Austriebsschloßteiles 36 auflaufenden Auswahlplatinen 22 einschwenken können, so daß ihre Schäfte frühzeitig vom ersten Druckschloßteil 37 erfaßt werden.3 and 4 of the plate drive-out lock part 36 with its drive-out edge 36.1 for the drive-out foot 22.2 of the selection boards 22, this drive-out foot 22.2 is shown in several pass-through positions in the area of the first pressure lock part 37 and the second pressure lock part 38. Four of the through positions are marked with the numbers V, VI, VII, VIII. 4 shows the end section of a selection board 22 in addition to the board lock parts. From FIG. 4 it can be clearly seen that the selection boards 22 in the direction of passage 39 initially with their contact surface 22.5 onto the first pressure lock part 37 rising relatively flat meet and be pivoted by this pressure lock part 37 until in position VII the expulsion foot 22.2 meets with its contact surface 22.6 on the second pressure lock part 38, the position of which can be precisely adjusted by an intermediate piece 42 and the further pivoting of the selection plate 22 until it is offered a selection magnet 25 worried. The second pressure lock part 38 ends in the direction of passage in a discharge edge 38.1, which allows the plates 22 released by the selection magnet 25 to be pivoted back under the restoring action of their spring 35. From Fig. 3 is still a recess 43 in the drive lock part 36 can be seen, in which the drive feet 22.2 can be swung in from the rotary position, i.e. not on the drive edge 36.1 of the drive lock part 36 selection plates 22, so that their shafts are detected early by the first pressure lock part 37 .

Fig. 5 zeigt eine Gesamtansicht einer Auswahlplatine 22 in der Stellung V nach Fig. 3 und 4, die als an einer vorhergehenden Nadelauswahlstelle ausgewählte Platine mit ihrem Austriebsfuß 22.2 auf die Austriebskante 36.1 des Austriebsschloßteiles 36 aufgelaufen ist und die zugeordnete Nadel 21 in ihre Strickstellung gebracht hat. Der Schaftendbereich befindet sich kurz vor dem Auflaufen auf das erste Druckschloßteil 37. Die Fig. 5 - 8 zeigen, daß die Führungsstege 23 auf der Höhe der ersten Druckschloßteile 37 eine Aussparung 44 aufweisen, in welche das Druckschloßteil 37 eintauchen kann. Das untere Ende 23.1 der Führungsstege 23 ragt über den unteren Rand des Nadelzylinders 10 hinaus in den von den Auswahlmagneten 25 eingenommenen Freiraum 24. Das überstehende Ende 23.1 der Führungsstege 23 ist auf der Rückseite radial vom unteren Ende einwärts mit einer Abschrägung 45 versehen, so daß die Auswahlmagnete 25 nicht über die Führungsstege kurzgeschlossen werden.5 shows an overall view of a selection board 22 in position V according to FIGS. 3 and 4, which, as a board selected at a previous needle selection point, has run up with its drive-out foot 22.2 onto the drive-out edge 36.1 of the drive-out lock part 36 and has brought the associated needle 21 into its knitting position Has. The shaft end area is located shortly before it strikes the first pressure lock part 37. FIGS. 5-8 show that the guide webs 23 have a recess 44 at the level of the first pressure lock parts 37, into which the pressure lock part 37 can be immersed. The lower end 23.1 of the guide webs 23 projects beyond the lower edge of the needle cylinder 10 into the space 24 occupied by the selection magnet 25. The projecting end 23.1 of the Guide webs 23 are provided on the rear radially inward from the lower end with a bevel 45 so that the selection magnets 25 are not short-circuited via the guide webs.

Fig. 6 zeigt eine in Rundlaufstellung verbliebene Auswahlplatine 22 in der Position VI nach Fig. 3 und 4. Ihr Austriebsfuß 22.2 verläßt die Ausnehmung 43 des Austriebsschloßteiles 36 und ihre Auflauffläche 22.5 beginnt, auf das erste Druckschloßteil 37 aufzulaufen.FIG. 6 shows a selection plate 22 remaining in the concentric position in position VI according to FIGS. 3 and 4. Its expulsion foot 22.2 leaves the recess 43 of the expulsion lock part 36 and its contact surface 22.5 begins to run onto the first pressure lock part 37.

Fig. 7 zeigt eine Auswahlplatine 22 in der Stellung VII nach Fig. 3 und 4. Sie ist mit ihrer Auflauffläche 22.5 auf das erste Druckschloßteil 37 bereits eine Strecke weit aufgelaufen und entsprechend um ihren Schwenkpunkt 22.3 verschwenkt worden, und sie hat jetzt die Stelle erreicht, wo ihr Austriebsfuß 22.2 mit seiner Auflauffläche 22.6 auf das zweite Druckschloßteil 38 trifft. Der höchste Punkt des ersten Druckschloßteiles 37 ist erreicht, und die weitere Schwenkbewegung der Auswahlplatine 22 wird durch das zweite Druckschloßteil 38 über den Austriebsfuß 22.2 bewirkt.Fig. 7 shows a selection board 22 in the position VII of Fig. 3 and 4. It has already run a distance with its contact surface 22.5 on the first pressure lock part 37 and has been pivoted accordingly about its pivot point 22.3, and it has now reached the point , where their outlet foot 22.2 meets the second pressure lock part 38 with its run-up surface 22.6. The highest point of the first pressure lock part 37 has been reached, and the further pivoting movement of the selection board 22 is brought about by the second pressure lock part 38 via the output foot 22.2.

Fig. 8 zeigt die Platine 22 in der Stellung VIII nach Fig. 3 und 4. Der Austriebsfuß 22.2 hat die höchste Stelle des zweiten Druckschloßteiles 38 erreicht. In dieser maximalen Schwenklage ist das Platinenende mit seiner Ankerfläche 22.4 gegen den Auswahlmagnet 25 gedrückt, wobei zweckmäßig ein leichtes Überdrücken und damit ein leichtes Durchbiegen des Platinenschaftes zwischen seinem Schwenkpunkt 22.3 und seiner anliegenden Ankerfläche 22.4 erfolgt, um Fertigungstoleranzen und Verschleiß auszugleichen. Die Platine 22 wird über die aus Fig. 4 ersichtliche Abwurfkante 38.1 des zweiten Druckschloßteiles 38 hinausbewegt und dort entweder vom Elektromagneten 25 in dieser Stellung gehalten, was im nächsten System der Maschine die Einnahme einer Rundlaufstellung bedeutet, oder aber vom Elektromagneten 25 losgelassen und dadurch durch ihre Feder 35 in eine Stellung zurückverschwenkt, in welcher sie am nächstfolgenden System mit ihrem Austriebsfuß 22.2 vom Austriebsschloßteil 36 erfaßt wird.8 shows the circuit board 22 in the position VIII according to FIGS. 3 and 4. The expulsion foot 22.2 has reached the highest point of the second pressure lock part 38. In this maximum swivel position, the plate end is pressed with its anchor surface 22.4 against the selection magnet 25, with a slight overpressure and thus a slight bending of the board shaft advantageously taking place between its pivot point 22.3 and its adjacent anchor surface 22.4 in order to compensate for manufacturing tolerances and wear. The board 22 is moved beyond the shedding edge 38. 1 of the second pressure lock part 38 shown in FIG. 4 and there either held by the electromagnet 25 in this position, which means taking up a concentric position in the next system of the machine, or let go of the electromagnet 25 and thereby pivoted back by its spring 35 into a position in which it can be used on the next system with its expander 22.2 is detected by the drive lock part 36.

Fig. 9 zeigt den Aufbau der Auswahlmagnete 25. Sie weisen in bekannter Weise zwei Weicheisen-Polschenkel 46 und 47 auf, zwischen deren einen und in einem magnetisch nichtleitenden Teil 48 verankerten Enden ein Permanentmagnet 49 angeordnet ist, während zwischen den beiden anderen und freien Enden der Weicheisen-Polschuhe 46 und 47 eine als Gleitleiste dienende Saphirleiste 50 angeordnet ist, gegen welche die Ankerfläche 22.4 der Auswahlplatinen 22 zur Anlage gelangt. Auf den Weicheisen-Polschuhen 46 und 47 ist eine Abwurfwicklung 51, 51.1 angeordnet, die Stromimpulse erhält, welche die vom Permanentmagneten 49 ausgeübte Anziehungskraft aufheben und durch eine Magnetfeldumpolung ein Loslassen des Endabschnitts der Platinen 22 bewirkt. Das magnetisch nichtleitende Teil 48 ist auf einem Magnethalter 27 befestigt, der am Tragring 15 verankert ist, wie bereits in Verbindung mit Fig. 1 beschrieben worden ist. Sowohl der Magnethalter 27 als auch die Polschuhe 46, 47 sind radialgerichtet. Die bei einer Erwärmung des Magnethalters 27 erfolgende Längenausdehnung in Richtung des eingezeichneten Pfeiles 53 wird durch eine entgegengesetzte Ausdehnungsbewegung der Weicheisen-Polschuhe in Richtung des eingezeichneten Pfeiles 52 kompensiert, so daß die einjustierte Stellung des Auswahlmagneten 25 zur Umlaufbahn der Auswahlplatinen 22 konstant gehalten bleibt. Ansonsten erlaubt der Maschinenaufbau jederzeit eine Nachjustierung der Auswahlmagnete 25 oder das Auswechseln einzelner Magnete ohne den vorherigen Abbau der Schloßträger eines Systems.Fig. 9 shows the structure of the selection magnets 25. They have in a known manner two soft iron pole legs 46 and 47, between their ends and anchored in a magnetically non-conductive part 48, a permanent magnet 49 is arranged, while between the other two and free ends the soft iron pole shoes 46 and 47 a sapphire bar 50 serving as a sliding bar is arranged, against which the anchor surface 22.4 of the selection boards 22 comes to rest. On the soft iron pole pieces 46 and 47, a discharge winding 51, 51.1 is arranged, which receives current pulses which cancel the attraction force exerted by the permanent magnet 49 and causes a release of the end section of the plates 22 by reversing the magnetic field. The magnetically non-conductive part 48 is fastened on a magnet holder 27 which is anchored to the support ring 15, as has already been described in connection with FIG. 1. Both the magnet holder 27 and the pole shoes 46, 47 are directed radially. The longitudinal expansion in the direction of the arrow 53 shown when the magnet holder 27 is heated is compensated for by an opposite expansion movement of the soft iron pole shoes in the direction of the arrow 52 shown, so that the adjusted position of the selection magnet 25 relative to the orbit of the selection boards 22 is constant remains held. Otherwise, the machine structure permits readjustment of the selection magnets 25 or the replacement of individual magnets at any time without the prior removal of the lock carrier of a system.
