Definitions
- Modern flat knitting machines are equipped with a lighting device in the area above the carriage for illuminating the working space of the machine as well as in the area of the knit pan, which receives the finished knitted pieces.
- the lighting arranged above the carriage is not able to illuminate the working space below the carriage, since parts of the carriage and other components such as yarn guides between the lighting and the working space are arranged. This is very hindering especially when troubleshooting when the carriage stops due to a broken thread or a breakage of a needle or Platinenfußes over the fault. Shadow casting of the carriage and other components on the underlying needle space makes it necessary to provide additional external lighting. This must first be positioned and turned on before troubleshooting can begin.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a flat knitting machine with improved lighting conditions.
- the object is achieved by a flat knitting machine with at least two opposing needle beds and with a machine carriage movable over the needle beds for controlling at least the needle movements, which is characterized in that at least one illumination device for illuminating the knitting space is arranged below the slide on the carriage. This lighting device radiates directly into the needle room and is not covered by carriage parts or thread guides. If the carriage stops due to a detected fault, troubleshooting can be started immediately without having to provide external illumination means.
- the at least one illumination device can be switched manually and / or by the machine control and / or by a knitting program.
- the lighting may turn on automatically when the carriage stops due to a detected fault.
- an automatic activation of the illumination device can take place when a knitted piece is completed. The lighting device then facilitates the setting of the machine on a new piece of knitted fabric.
- the at least one illumination device may consist of one or more light strips. These light strips can be arranged parallel to the needle beds and thus illuminate a relatively wide area of the working space of the knitting machine. Further advantages result if the at least one illumination device is arranged adjustably on the carriage. When using light strips, for example, these can be rotated in order to optimally illuminate the area of interest of the machine.
- the at least one illumination device is arranged above the front and / or the rear needle bed on the machine carriage.
- the needles and boards are optimally illuminated.
- a central arrangement of the lighting device on the carriage above the comb gap is possible.
- the lighting device requires only little power and at the same time dispenses a very bright and cold light which does not additionally heat the needles and circuit boards.
- the LEDs may preferably have a radiation angle adapted to the illumination range.
- the at least one illumination device can also be used for other functions.
- status and / or error messages can also be displayed with the at least one illumination device.
- the at least one illumination device can be operated, for example, with different flashing frequencies and / or in different light colors, depending on the type of message.
- the luminous intensity and / or the light color of the at least one illumination device can be adapted manually or automatically to the lighting conditions of the environment and / or to the desired illumination function. This ensures that there is always an optimal illumination of the working space of the machine.
- Fig. 1a shows a flat knitting machine 100 with a machine frame 10 and a front and a rear needle bed 20.
- the needle beds 20 guide grooves for knitting elements such as needles or sinkers are introduced.
- the knitting elements are longitudinally displaceable in their guide grooves by means of a knitting lock (not shown here), which is attached to a machine slide 30.
- the machine carriage 30 is moved back and forth along the needle beds 20.
- the thread 41 required for knit production runs from yarn packages 40 via thread control units 50 and feeders to yarn guides 70, which also after appropriate selection by the Carriage 30 are moved over the needle beds 20 and so selected needles feed the thread 41.
- the thread guides 70 slide on thread guide rods 80 which extend above the needle beds 20 in the longitudinal direction thereof.
- a lighting device 90 is arranged, which illuminates the general working space of the flat knitting machine 100.
- FIG. 1b In the enlarged section of the flat knitting machine 100 in FIG Fig. 1b are the two needle beds 20, a clamping cutting bed 21, the carriage 30, and yarn guide 70 and yarn guide rods 80 and their arrangement with respect to the illumination device 90 can be seen. It is clear that the illumination device 90 can only fully develop its effect for illuminating the working space if the carriage 30 is not located directly in front of the illumination device 90.
- the knitting elements, which are located below the carriage 30 in or on one of the needle beds 20, can not or only partially be detected due to the shadow of the carriage. The illumination of these elements is further complicated by the yarn guide rods 80 and the yarn guide 70.
- the machine carriage 3 of a flat knitting machine itself has a lighting device 33, which in the example shown is arranged above the rear needle bed 4 and oriented so that the entire working space in the area of the carriage 30 is illuminated, as in FIG Fig. 2a . 2 B is indicated by the hatched area A.
- the illumination device 33 can also be attached over the front needle bed 5.
- there may be lighting devices above Both needle beds 4, 5 are provided. It can be seen here that all the knitting elements in the needle beds 4, 5 below the slide can be illuminated by the proceedingsseicardietticardi when the carriage 3 is stopped for example by an error occurring in its movement via the needle beds 4, 5.
- the illumination device 33 formed as a one-piece strip is equipped with individual light sources 33a, 33b. These bulbs 33a, 33b are LEDs in the illustrated example.

Description
Moderne Flachstrickmaschinen sind mit einer Beleuchtungseinrichtung im Bereich oberhalb des Schlittens zur Ausleuchtung des Arbeitsraums der Maschine sowie im Bereich der Gestrickwanne, die die fertigen Gestrickstücke aufnimmt, ausgestattet.Modern flat knitting machines are equipped with a lighting device in the area above the carriage for illuminating the working space of the machine as well as in the area of the knit pan, which receives the finished knitted pieces.
Die oberhalb des Schlittens angeordnete Beleuchtung ist jedoch nicht in der Lage, den Arbeitsraum unterhalb des Schlittens auszuleuchten, da Teile des Schlittens sowie andere Bauteile wie Fadenführer zwischen der Beleuchtung und dem Arbeitsraum angeordnet sind. Dies ist insbesondere bei einer Fehlersuche sehr hinderlich, wenn der Schlitten aufgrund eines Fadenbruchs oder eines Bruchs eines Nadel- oder Platinenfußes über der Fehlerstelle stoppt. Der Schattenwurf des Schlittens und der anderen Bauteile auf den darunter liegenden Nadelraum macht es erforderlich, für eine zusätzliche externe Beleuchtung zu sorgen. Diese muss zuerst positioniert und eingeschaltet werden, bevor mit der Fehlersuche begonnen werden kann.However, the lighting arranged above the carriage is not able to illuminate the working space below the carriage, since parts of the carriage and other components such as yarn guides between the lighting and the working space are arranged. This is very hindering especially when troubleshooting when the carriage stops due to a broken thread or a breakage of a needle or Platinenfußes over the fault. Shadow casting of the carriage and other components on the underlying needle space makes it necessary to provide additional external lighting. This must first be positioned and turned on before troubleshooting can begin.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Flachstrickmaschine mit verbesserten Beleuchtungsverhältnissen zu schaffen.The present invention is therefore based on the object to provide a flat knitting machine with improved lighting conditions.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Flachstrickmaschine mit mindestens zwei gegenüberliegenden Nadelbetten und mit einem über die Nadelbetten hinweg bewegbaren Maschinenschlitten zur Steuerung mindestens der Nadelbewegungen, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass am Schlitten mindestens eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung zur Ausleuchtung des Strickraums unterhalb des Schlittens angeordnet ist. Diese Beleuchtungseinrichtung strahlt direkt in den Nadelraum und wird nicht durch Schlittenteile oder Fadenführer verdeckt. Hält der Schlitten aufgrund eines detektierten Fehlers an, kann sofort mit der Fehlersuche begonnen werden, ohne zuvor externe Beleuchtungsmittel bereitstellen zu müssen.The object is achieved by a flat knitting machine with at least two opposing needle beds and with a machine carriage movable over the needle beds for controlling at least the needle movements, which is characterized in that at least one illumination device for illuminating the knitting space is arranged below the slide on the carriage. This lighting device radiates directly into the needle room and is not covered by carriage parts or thread guides. If the carriage stops due to a detected fault, troubleshooting can be started immediately without having to provide external illumination means.
Dabei kann die mindestens eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung manuell und/oder durch die Maschinensteuerung und/oder durch ein Strickprogramm schaltbar sein. So kann die Beleuchtung beispielsweise automatisch einschalten, wenn der Schlitten aufgrund eines detektierten Fehlers stoppt. Weiter kann eine automatische Aktivierung der Beleuchtungseinrichtung erfolgen, wenn ein Gestrickstück fertiggestellt ist. Die Beleuchtungseinrichtung erleichtert dann das Einstellen der Maschine auf ein neues Gestrickstück.In this case, the at least one illumination device can be switched manually and / or by the machine control and / or by a knitting program. For example, the lighting may turn on automatically when the carriage stops due to a detected fault. Furthermore, an automatic activation of the illumination device can take place when a knitted piece is completed. The lighting device then facilitates the setting of the machine on a new piece of knitted fabric.
Vorteilhafterweise kann die mindestens eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung aus einer oder mehreren Lichtleisten bestehen. Diese Lichtleisten können parallel zu den Nadelbetten angeordnet werden und damit einen relativ breiten Bereich des Arbeitsraums der Strickmaschine ausleuchten. Weitere Vorteile ergeben sich, wenn die mindestens eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung verstellbar am Schlitten angeordnet ist. Bei Verwendung von Lichtleisten können diese beispielsweise gedreht werden, um den interessierenden Bereich der Maschine optimal ausleuchten zu können.Advantageously, the at least one illumination device may consist of one or more light strips. These light strips can be arranged parallel to the needle beds and thus illuminate a relatively wide area of the working space of the knitting machine. Further advantages result if the at least one illumination device is arranged adjustably on the carriage. When using light strips, for example, these can be rotated in order to optimally illuminate the area of interest of the machine.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist die mindestens eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung über dem vorderen und/oder dem hinteren Nadelbett am Maschinenschlitten angeordnet. Damit werden vor allem die Nadeln und Platinen optimal angeleuchtet. Selbstverständlich ist jedoch auch eine zentrale Anordnung der Beleuchtungseinrichtung am Schlitten oberhalb des Kammspalts möglich.In an advantageous embodiment, the at least one illumination device is arranged above the front and / or the rear needle bed on the machine carriage. Thus, especially the needles and boards are optimally illuminated. Of course, however, a central arrangement of the lighting device on the carriage above the comb gap is possible.
Wird die mindestens eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung mit LEDs als Leuchtmittel ausgerüstet, so benötigt die Beleuchtungseinrichtung nur wenig Strom und spendet gleichzeitig ein sehr helles und kaltes Licht, das die Nadeln und Platinen nicht zusätzlich erwärmt. Dabei können die LEDs vorzugsweise einen dem Ausleuchtungsbereich angepassten Abstrahlwinkel aufweisen.If the at least one lighting device is equipped with LEDs as lighting means, then the lighting device requires only little power and at the same time dispenses a very bright and cold light which does not additionally heat the needles and circuit boards. In this case, the LEDs may preferably have a radiation angle adapted to the illumination range.
Die mindestens eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung kann auch für weitere Funktionen genutzt werden. So können mit der mindestens einen Beleuchtungseinrichtung auch Status- und/oder Fehlermeldungen dargestellt werden. Dazu kann die mindestens eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung je nach Art der Meldung beispielsweise mit unterschiedlichen Blinkfrequenzen und/oder in unterschiedlichen Lichtfarben betrieben werden.The at least one illumination device can also be used for other functions. Thus, status and / or error messages can also be displayed with the at least one illumination device. For this purpose, the at least one illumination device can be operated, for example, with different flashing frequencies and / or in different light colors, depending on the type of message.
Außerdem kann die Leuchtstärke und/oder die Lichtfarbe der mindestens einen Beleuchtungseinrichtung manuell oder automatisch an die Lichtverhältnisse der Umgebung und/oder an die gewünschte Beleuchtungsfunktion angepasst werden. Dies gewährleistet, dass stets eine optimale Ausleuchtung des Arbeitsraums der Maschine gegeben ist.In addition, the luminous intensity and / or the light color of the at least one illumination device can be adapted manually or automatically to the lighting conditions of the environment and / or to the desired illumination function. This ensures that there is always an optimal illumination of the working space of the machine.
