Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Flachstrickmaschine mit mindestens einem Nadelbett und mindestens einem längs des mindestens einen Nadelbetts bewegbaren Schlitten sowie mindestens einem längs des mindestens einen Nadelbetts bewegbaren Funktionselement, insbesondere einem Fadenführer (s.EP-A-709506).The invention relates to a flat knitting machine with at least a needle bed and at least one along the minimum a movable needle bed and at least one functional element movable along the at least one needle bed, especially a thread guide (see EP-A-709506).

Bei Flachstrickmaschinen werden die Fadenführer und andere Funktionselemente wie Einstreifer oder dergleichen in der Regel durch starre, mit dem Schlitten verbundene Mitnahmeeinrichtungen angetrieben. Diese Mitnahmeeinrichtungen weisen angesteuerte Klinken auf, die an den Funktionselementen angreifen und diese in der gleichen Richtung und mit derselben Geschwindigkeit wie der Schlitten mit diesem mitbewegen. Diese Mitnahmeeinrichtungen am Schlitten behindern jedoch den Zugang von oben zum Nadelraum, sodass sie nicht überall einsetzbar sind.In flat knitting machines, the thread guides and others Functional elements such as strippers or the like in the As a rule by rigid entrainment devices connected to the sled driven. These takeaways point controlled pawls that attack the functional elements and this in the same direction and with the same Move speed like the sled with it. This Lifting devices on the sledge, however, hinder access from above to the needle chamber, so that they cannot be used everywhere are.

Es sind außerdem Flachstrickmaschinen bekannt, die selbständig angetriebene Fadenführer aufweisen. Bei diesen bekannten Maschinen gleiten die Fadenführer ebenfalls auf den bekannten Fadenführungsschienen, sind aber mit einem Zahnriemen verbunden, der über einen Elektromotor angetrieben wird. Da ein Fadenführer der Strickschlossmitte in jeder Strickrichtung um einen genau definierten Abstand nachlaufen muss, ist bei diesen Flachstrickmaschinen eine aufwendige Steuerung der Elektromotoren für die Fadenführer notwendig. Die Motoren selbst müssen sehr schnell beschleunigen können und sind daher teuer.Flat knitting machines are also known which operate independently have driven thread guides. In these known machines the thread guides also slide onto the known one Thread guide rails, but are connected with a toothed belt, which is driven by an electric motor. There a Thread guide around the middle of the knitting lock in every knitting direction has to follow a precisely defined distance Flat knitting machines a complex control of the electric motors necessary for the thread guides. The engines themselves have to be able to accelerate very quickly and are therefore expensive.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Flachstrickmaschine mit einem Antrieb für Funktionselemente wie Fadenführer zu schaffen, der keine zusätzlichen Motoren benötigt, aber auch keine starr mit dem Schlitten verbundene Mitnahmeeinrichtungen erfordert.The present invention has for its object a Flat knitting machine with a drive for functional elements how to create thread guides that have no additional motors required, but also not rigidly connected to the sled Driving equipment required.

Die Aufgabe wird mit einer Flachstrickmaschine der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass das mindestens eine Funktionselement durch den Schlittenantrieb synchron zu dem mindestens einen Schlitten antreibbar ist. Der Schlittenantrieb treibt nun also auch ein oder mehrere Funktionselemente an, ohne dass dazu eine direkte Verbindung zwischen dem Schlitten und dem Funktionselement hergestellt werden muss.The task is started with a flat knitting machine mentioned type according to the invention solved in that the at least one functional element by the slide drive can be driven synchronously with the at least one slide. The The slide drive now also drives one or more functional elements without a direct connection between the slide and the functional element are manufactured got to.

Vorzugsweise kann der Schlittenantrieb mindestens ein Mitnehmerelement synchron zu dem mindestens einen Schlitten antreiben, das mit dem mindestens einen Funktionselement in Eingriff bringbar ist. Dieses Mitnehmerelement ist nicht mit dem Schlitten verbunden, sondern kann beispielsweise in einer Schiene parallel zu dem mindestens einen Nadelbett geführt sein. Das mindestens eine Mitnehmerelement kann beispielsweise mittels einer mit dem Schlittenantrieb gekoppelten Kette, eines Riemens oder eines Seils antreibbar sein. Dabei kann das Mitnehmerelement zweckmäßigerweise an einer über zwei Umlenkrollen geführten Endloskette oder einem Endloszahnriemen angeordnet sein, wobei mindestens eine der Umlenkrollen von der Motorwelle des Schlittenantriebs antreibbar ist. Dies stellt eine konstruktiv äußerst einfache synchrone Antriebsmöglichkeit eines oder mehrerer Mitnehmerelemente dar. The carriage drive can preferably have at least one driver element drive synchronously to the at least one sled, that engages with the at least one functional element is feasible. This driver element is not with the Connected sled, but can for example in one Rail guided parallel to the at least one needle bed his. The at least one driver element can, for example by means of a chain coupled to the slide drive, a belt or a rope can be driven. It can Driving element expediently on one over two deflection rollers guided endless chain or an endless toothed belt arranged be, with at least one of the pulleys of the Motor shaft of the carriage drive can be driven. This poses a structurally extremely simple synchronous drive option one or more driver elements.

Insbesondere wenn es sich bei dem Funktionselement um einen Fadenführer handelt, kann das mindestens eine Mitnehmerelement derart synchron zu dem mindestens einen Schlitten antreibbar sein, dass seine senkrechte Mittelachse mit der senkrechten Mittelachse des Stricksystems des mindestens einen Schlittens zusammenfällt. Dadurch kann das erforderliche Nachlaufen des Fadenführers um einen definierten Abstand zur Schlittenmitte auf herkömmliche Weise durch eine entsprechend breite Mitnahmeaussparung des Fadenführerkastens gewährleistet werden.Especially if the functional element is a Thread guide is at least one driver element can be driven in synchronism with the at least one carriage be that its vertical central axis is aligned with the vertical Central axis of the knitting system of the at least one carriage coincides. This allows the required after-running of the Thread guide by a defined distance from the center of the slide in the conventional way thanks to a correspondingly wide cut-out of the thread guide box are guaranteed.

Das mindestens eine Mitnehmerelement kann auch mit mehreren Funktionselementen in Eingriff bringbar sein. Hierzu kann es beispielsweise einen oder mehrere verstellbar gelagerte und ansteuerbare Schieber aufweisen, die in ihrer Funktionsstellung an Anschlagflächen an dem mindestens einen Funktionselement angreifen.The at least one driver element can also have several Functional elements can be brought into engagement. It can do this for example one or more adjustable and controllable slide have in their functional position on stop surfaces on the at least one functional element attack.

Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Antrieb können nicht nur Mitnehmerelemente, sondern auch andere Funktionselemente einer Flachstrickmaschine, wie beispielsweise eine Schere, verstellbare Anschlagelemente, Einstreifer oder auch Kulier- oder Kuliersteuerelemente synchron zum Schlitten bewegt werden.Not only driver elements, but also other functional elements of a flat knitting machine, such as scissors, adjustable Stop elements, scraper or also Kulier- or Kulier control elements be moved synchronously with the slide.

Im Folgenden wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer Antriebsvorrichtung für einen Fadenführer einer erfindungsgemäßen Flachstrickmaschine anhand der Zeichnung näher beschrieben.The following is an embodiment of a drive device for a thread guide of a flat knitting machine according to the invention described in more detail with reference to the drawing.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Fadenführerschiene 1 in der Seitenansicht, die parallel und mit Abstand über dem Scheitel eines oder mehrerer, hier nicht dargestellter Nadelbetten angeordnet ist. Wie die Schnittansicht aus Fig. 3 zeigt, weist sie auf ihrer Vorder- und Rückseite Schwalbenschwanzführungen 12 und 13 als Führungsbahnen für Fadenführerkästen auf, die hier nicht näher dargestellt sind. Zusätzlich weist die Führungsschiene 1 eine Führungsbahn 14 für ein Mitnehmerelement 2, hier einen Fadenführermitnehmer, auf, die im dargestellten Beispiel eine Flachführung ist. Diese Führung 14 kann jedoch auch jede andere geeignete Form aufweisen. Auf der Unterseite ist eine Ausnehmung 15 für einen Treibriemen 3 für den Mitnehmer 2 angeordnet. Der Mitnehmer 2 ist dabei fest mit dem Treibriemen 3 verbunden, der als Endlosriemen ausgeführt und über zwei Umlenkräder 6 und 7 geführt ist, wie Fig. 1 zeigt.1 shows a thread guide rail 1 in a side view, which are parallel and spaced above the apex of one or several needle beds, not shown here, is arranged. As the sectional view of Fig. 3 shows, it points to hers Front and back dovetail guides 12 and 13 as Guideways for thread guide boxes, which are not described here are shown. In addition, the guide rail 1 has a Guideway 14 for a driver element 2, here a thread guide driver, on the one in the example shown Flat guide is. However, this guide 14 can also be any other have a suitable shape. There is a recess on the bottom 15 arranged for a drive belt 3 for the driver 2. The driver 2 is fixed to the drive belt 3 connected, which is designed as an endless belt and via two deflection wheels 6 and 7 is guided, as shown in FIG. 1.

Der Mitnehmer 2 ist so ausgebildet, dass er die Führungsfläche 14 der Fadenführerschiene 1 umschließt und längsverschieblich auf dieser angeordnet ist. Wie Fig. 3 zeigt, weist er zwei seitliche Schieber 21 und 22 auf, wobei der Schieber 21 in seiner Außer-Tätigkeit-Stellung und der Schieber 22 in Tätigkeit-Stellung dargestellt ist. Beide Schieber werden durch eine nicht dargestellte Schalteinrichtung in oder außer Tätigkeit gebracht. In Tätigkeit-Stellung greifen die Schieber 21 und 22 in den Fadenführerkasten ein und führen diesen dadurch mit, wenn der Treibriemen 3 bewegt wird. The driver 2 is designed so that it the guide surface 14 of the thread guide rail 1 encloses and longitudinally displaceable is arranged on this. As Fig. 3 shows, he points two side slides 21 and 22, the slider 21 in its inactive position and the slide 22 in Activity position is shown. Both sliders will by a switching device, not shown, in or outside Brought activity. In the activity position, the slides engage 21 and 22 into the thread guide box and guide it thereby with when the drive belt 3 is moved.

Der Antrieb des Treibriemens 3 erfolgt über das Antriebsrad 6, das über einen weiteren Treibriemen oder über eine Kette 9 mit der Welle 30 eines nicht näher dargestellten Antriebsmotors für einen Schlitten 50 (Fig. 1) verbunden ist. Der Schlitten 50 selbst wird ebenfalls über einen Antriebsriemen 51 angetrieben, der als endloser Riemen ausgebildet ist. Wie Fig. 2 zeigt, sind der Schlittentreibriemen 51 und der Treibriemen 3 des Mitnehmers 2 in unterschiedlichen vertikalen Ebenen angeordnet. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass der Verbindungsriemen 9 zwischen dem Antrieb für den Schlitten 50 und dem Antrieb für den Mitnehmer 2 über ein auf der Motorwelle 30 angeordnetes Zahnrad 31 geführt ist, das seitlich zum Zahnrad 32 versetzt ist, über das der Schlittentreibriemen 51 geführt ist. Auf der Mitnehmerseite ist der Verbindungsriemen 9 über ein Riemenrad 8 geführt, das auf der gleichen Welle 4 wie das Riemenrad 6 sitzt, über das der Treibriemen 3 für den Mitnehmer 2 geführt ist. Um einen synchronen Antrieb zwischen Schlitten und Mitnehmer 2 zu gewährleisten, müssen die Räder 32 und 6 sowie die Räder 31 und 8 jeweils den gleichen Wirkdurchmesser aufweisen. Der Mitnehmer 2 ist dabei derart am Treibriemen 3 angeordnet, dass seine senkrechte Mittelachse 55 mit der senkrechten Mittelachse 55 des Stricksystems des Schlittens 50 zusammenfällt. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass sich bei Bewegung des Schlittens 50 um eine Distanz A in eine Position 50' auch der Mitnehmer 2 und ein durch ihn beaufschlagter Fadenführer um die Strecke A in die Position 2' weiterbewegt.The drive belt 3 is driven by the drive wheel 6, with another drive belt or chain 9 the shaft 30 of a drive motor, not shown for a carriage 50 (Fig. 1) is connected. The sled 50 itself is also via a drive belt 51st driven, which is designed as an endless belt. How 2 shows the carriage drive belt 51 and the drive belt 3 of the driver 2 in different vertical Layers arranged. This is achieved in that the connecting strap 9 between the drive for the carriage 50 and the drive for the driver 2 via a on the motor shaft 30 arranged gear 31 is guided laterally to the gear 32 is offset, over which the carriage drive belt 51 is guided is. The connecting belt 9 is on the driver side guided over a pulley 8, which on the same shaft 4 as the pulley 6 sits over which the drive belt 3 for the Carrier 2 is guided. To a synchronous drive between To ensure the carriage and carrier 2, the wheels 32 and 6 and the wheels 31 and 8 each the same Have effective diameter. The driver 2 is so on Driving belt 3 arranged that its vertical central axis 55th with the vertical central axis 55 of the knitting system of the Sled 50 falls together. This ensures that when the carriage 50 moves a distance A into one Position 50 'also the driver 2 and one acted upon by him Thread guide around route A to position 2 ' advanced.

Selbstverständlich können auf diese Weise auch mehrere Mitnehmerelemente 2 angetrieben werden, die entweder alle auf der Schiene 1 oder auf dazu parallelen weiteren Schienen geführt sein können. Der Mitnehmer 2 kann mindestens soviele Schieber 21, 22 aufweisen, wie Stricksysteme an der Maschine vorhanden sind. Dies bedingt dann einen relativ langen Mitnehmer 2. Alternativ dazu können auch mehrere kürzere Mitnehmerelemente 2 am Treibriemen 3 befestigt sein, die dann jeweils nur zwei Schieber 21, 22 aufweisen.Of course, several driver elements can also be used in this way 2 powered, either all on the Rail 1 or guided on further parallel rails could be. The driver 2 can at least as many sliders 21, 22 have knitting systems on the machine are. This then requires a relatively long driver 2. Alternatively, several shorter driver elements can also be used 2 be attached to the drive belt 3, each of which have only two slides 21, 22.

Anstelle der Riemenkopplung 9 zwischen dem Schlitten 50 und dem Mitnehmer 2 könnte auch eine Kettenkopplung oder Getriebekopplung vorgesehen sein. Außerdem ist es nicht notwendig, den Antrieb für den Schlitten 50 und den Mitnehmer 2 in Form von Endlosriemen auszubilden. Der Antrieb lässt sich beispielsweise auch mittels eines endlichen Seils oder einer Kette durch Auf- und Abwickeln erreichen.Instead of the belt coupling 9 between the carriage 50 and the carrier 2 could also be a chain coupling or gear coupling be provided. Besides, it is not necessary that Drive for the carriage 50 and the driver 2 in the form of Form endless belts. The drive can be, for example also by means of a finite rope or a chain by winding and unwinding.
