Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Flachstrickmaschine mit mindestens zwei Nadelbetten, mit mindestens einem über die Nadelbetten hinweg bewegbaren, mit Strickschlössern besetzten Schlitten und einer Fadenzuführvorrichtung mit oberhalb der Nadelbetten angeordneten Fadenführerschienen, in denen durch den mindestens einen Schlitten mitbewegbare Fadenführer angeordnet sind.The invention relates to a flat knitting machine with at least two needle beds, with at least one movable over the needle beds away, occupied with knitting scooters and a yarn feeding with arranged above the needle beds yarn guide rails, in which are arranged by the at least one slide mitbewegbare yarn guide.

Solche Flachstrickmaschinen entsprechen dem seit vielen Jahren üblichen Stand der Technik. Zunehmend werden jedoch immer höhere Ansprüche an die Musterung und das Design von Gestrickstücken gestellt. Damit steigen auch die Anforderungen an die Maschinen zur Herstellung solcher Gestricke, insbesondere von Intarsia-Gestricken oder von plattierten Gestricken.Such flat knitting machines correspond to the usual state of the art for many years. Increasingly, however, higher demands are placed on the patterning and the design of knitted pieces. Thus, the demands on the machines for the production of such knits, in particular of intarsia crocheted or of clad knitted fabrics, are also increasing.

Es wurden daher auch schon Verbesserungen hinsichtlich der Fadenzufuhr vorgeschlagen, die helfen, die erhöhten Anforderungen zu befriedigen. So sind bereits autark angetriebene Fadenführer eingesetzt worden, die während des Strickprozesses jede beliebige Position im Nadelraum einer Strickmaschine einnehmen können. Weiter sind Vorrichtungen zur Fadeneinlage bekannt geworden, die oberhalb und separat von den eigentlichen Fadenführern den Stricknadeln Fäden zuführen können.Therefore, improvements have already been proposed in terms of yarn feeding, which help to meet the increased requirements. Thus, self-propelled yarn guides have been used, which can take any position in the needle room of a knitting machine during the knitting process. Next devices for thread insertion have become known, which can supply the knitting needles above and separately from the actual thread guides.

Aus der DE 43 08 251 A1 , der DE 695 08 696 T2 , der EP 872 587 B1 und der DE 695 03 831 T2 sind außerdem Strickmaschinen bekannt, die unabhängig vom Schlitten bewegbare Fadenführer aufweisen, die zeitweilig mit dem Schlitten gekoppelt werden können, oder die vom Schlitten bewegbare Fadenführer aufweisen, die zeitweilig autark angetrieben werden können. Diese Lösungen sind jedoch mechanisch und steuerungstechnisch aufwändig.From the DE 43 08 251 A1 , of the DE 695 08 696 T2 , of the EP 872 587 B1 and the DE 695 03 831 T2 In addition knitting machines are known which have independently of the carriage movable thread guides that can be temporarily coupled to the carriage, or have the carriage movable thread guides that can be temporarily driven independently. However, these solutions are mechanically and control technically complex.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Flachstrickmaschine bereitzustellen, mit der konventionelle Gestricke und Gestricke mit aufwändigen Mustern oder plattierte Gestricke auf rationelle Weise hergestellt werden können.The present invention has for its object to provide a flat knitting machine can be produced with the conventional knitted fabrics and knits with elaborate patterns or plated knitwear in a rational manner.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Flachstrickmaschine der eingangs genannten Art, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass die Fadenzuführvorrichtung außerdem mindestens einen unabhängig vom Schlitten antreibbaren, autarken Fadenführer aufweist.The object is achieved by a flat knitting machine of the type mentioned, which is characterized in that Fadenzuführvorrichtung also has at least one independently driven by the carriage, self-sufficient yarn guide.

Die erfindungsgemäße Flachstrickmaschine stellt somit eine Kombination aus einer konventionellen Fadenzufuhr, bei der die Fadenführer durch geeignete Mittel vom Schlitten mitgenommen werden, und schlittenunabhängig angetriebene Fadenführer bereit, wobei beide Konzepte der Fadenzufuhr ihre volle Funktionsfähigkeit behalten. Dies ist neu gegenüber den oben erwähnten Vorrichtungen zur Fadenzufuhr, die einen Kompromiss zwischen den beiden Arten der Fadenzufuhr darstellen.The flat knitting machine according to the invention thus provides a combination of a conventional thread feed, in which the thread guides are taken by suitable means of the carriage, and carriage-independently driven thread guide, both concepts of thread feed retain their full functionality. This is novel over the yarn feeding devices mentioned above, which are a compromise between the two types of yarn feeding.

Die Vorteile einer solchen Kombination der Antriebskonzepte der Fadenführer in einer einzigen Maschine liegen darin, dass komplizierte Muster wie Intarsia- oder Plattiermuster mit den autarken Fadenführern wirtschaftlich produziert werden können, da diese Fadenführer jederzeit jede beliebige Position im Nadelraum einnehmen können, während Gestricke oder Gestrickabschnitte mit konventionellen Mustern mit den vom Schlitten angetriebenen Fadenführern rationell produziert werden können.The advantages of such a combination of the drive concepts of yarn guides in a single machine are that complicated patterns such as intarsia or plating can be produced economically with the self-sufficient yarn guides, as these yarn guides can take any position in the needle room at any time, while knitted or knitted sections with conventional patterns can be efficiently produced with the sled-driven yarn guides.

Zweckmäßigerweise kann dabei jeder autarke Fadenführer eine eigene Antriebsvorrichtung aufweisen, um die Variabilität der Fadenzufuhr voll ausschöpfen zu können. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, zwei oder mehrere autarke Fadenführer mit einer gemeinsamen Antriebsvorrichtung zu versehen.Conveniently, each self-sufficient thread guide can have its own drive device in order to fully exploit the variability of the thread feed can. However, it is also possible to provide two or more self-sufficient thread guide with a common drive device.

Weitere Vorteile ergeben sich, wenn der oder die autarken Fadenführer in einer oder mehreren separaten Fadenführerschienen längs verschiebbar angeordnet sind. Sie können in diesen Schienen über die gesamte Länge verschoben werden, ohne mögliche Kollisionen mit einem vom Schlitten mitbewegten Fadenführer berücksichtigen zu müssen.Further advantages arise when the one or more self-sufficient thread guides are arranged longitudinally displaceable in one or more separate yarn guide rails. You can in these rails over the entire length be moved without having to consider possible collisions with a co-moved by the carriage yarn guide.

Dabei können die Fadenführerschienen mit vom Schlitten mitbewegbaren Fadenführern und die Fadenführerschienen mit autarken Fadenführern vorzugsweise im Wechsel parallel zueinander oberhalb der Nadelbetten angeordnet sein, um für beide Fadenführerarten ähnliche Bedingungen für die Fadenzufuhr zu den Nadeln schaffen zu können.In this case, the yarn guide rails with the mitbewegbaren with the carriage yarn guides and the yarn guide rails with autarkic yarn guides preferably alternately be arranged in parallel alternately above the needle beds to create similar conditions for the thread feed to the needles for both yarn guide types.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Flachstrickmaschine sind dabei in den Fadenführerschienen für autarke Fadenführer jeweils vier Fadenführer angeordnet.In a preferred embodiment of the flat knitting machine, four yarn guides are arranged in the yarn guide rails for self-sufficient yarn guides.

In den Fadenführerschienen für vom Schlitten mitbewegbaren Fadenführer können jeweils acht Fadenführer angeordnet sein.In the yarn guide rails for the carriage mitbewegbaren yarn guide eight yarn guides can be arranged in each case.

Mit dieser Anzahl von Fadenführern lassen sich auch vielfarbige Muster oder Muster mit unterschiedlichen Fadenqualitäten rationell fertigen.With this number of yarn guides also multi-colored patterns or patterns with different yarn qualities can be produced efficiently.

Bei einer alternativen Ausgestaltung der Flachstrickmaschine, können die autarken Fadenführer und die vom Schlitten mitbewegbaren Fadenführer in gemeinsamen Fadenführerschienen angeordnet werden. Es sind dann weniger Schienen erforderlich als bei einer Ausgestaltung mit separaten Schienen für die autarken Fadenführer.In an alternative embodiment of the flat knitting machine, the self-sufficient thread guides and the co-moving with the slide yarn guide can be arranged in common thread guide rails. There are then fewer rails required than in a design with separate rails for the autarkic thread guide.

Dabei können die autarken Fadenführer jeweils in der einen Hälfte einer Schiene und die vom Schlitten mitbewegbaren Fadenführer in der anderen Hälfte der Schiene angeordnet sein. Alternativ können die autarken Fadenführer und die vom Schlitten mitbewegbaren Fadenführer in zumindest einer der Hälften der Fadenführerschiene gemeinsam angeordnet sein.In this case, the self-sufficient yarn guide can be arranged in each case in one half of a rail and the movable mitführbaren by the carriage yarn guide in the other half of the rail. Alternatively, the self-sufficient yarn guide and be moved by the carriage with movable yarn guide in at least one of the halves of the yarn guide rail together.

Eine weitere Alternative besteht darin, dass zumindest eine Hälfte einer oder mehrerer Fadenführerschienen zwei übereinander angeordnete Spuren aufweist, wobei in einer der Spuren ein oder mehrere autarke Fadenführer und in der anderen Spur ein oder mehrere vom Schlitten mitbewegte Fadenführer angeordnet sind. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Fadenführer beider Antriebskonzepte die vollständige Länge der Fadenführerschiene ausnutzen können.A further alternative consists in that at least one half of one or more thread guide rails has two superimposed tracks, one or more independent thread guides being arranged in one of the tracks and one or more thread guides being moved by the carriage in the other track. This has the advantage that the thread guides of both drive concepts can exploit the full length of the thread guide rail.

Auch für die Anordnung der Fadenführerschienen oberhalb der Nadelbetten gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten. Bei einer ersten Ausgestaltung sind die Fadenführerschienen zumindest teilweise in einer gemeinsamen horizontalen Ebene oberhalb der Nadelbetten angeordnet. Es kann jedoch auch von Vorteil sein, die Fadenführerschienen zumindest teilweise auf einem Ausschnitt einer gedachten Zylinderoberfläche oberhalb der Nadelbetten anzuordnen. Die Fadenführerarme sind bei einer solchen Anordnung der Schienen radial ausgerichtet und besitzen alle dieselbe Form und Länge, was einen einfacheren Austausch ermöglicht und eine zeit- und kostengünstigere Fertigung erlaubt.Also for the arrangement of the yarn guide rails above the needle beds there are various possibilities. In a first embodiment, the yarn guide rails are at least partially disposed in a common horizontal plane above the needle beds. However, it may also be advantageous to arrange the yarn guide rails at least partially on a section of an imaginary cylinder surface above the needle beds. The yarn guide arms are radially aligned with such an arrangement of the rails and all have the same shape and length, which allows for easier replacement and allows a more cost-effective and time-saving production.

Die beschriebenen Anordnungen der Fadenführerschienen müssen nicht zwangsläufig symmetrisch zur Mittelachse der Strickmaschine sein. Auch asymmetrische Anordnungen sind denkbar.The arrangements of the yarn guide rails described need not necessarily be symmetrical to the central axis of the knitting machine. Also asymmetric arrangements are conceivable.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Flachstrickmaschine können die Fäden wie allgemein üblich seitlich zugeführt werden. Die Flachstrickmaschine kann jedoch auch einen Schlitten aufweisen, der auf der Oberseite eine Öffnung aufweist, durch die Fäden zu den Fadenführern und weiter zu den Nadeln in den Nadelbetten zuführbar sind. Bei dieser Lösung kann auf eine ganze Reihe von Fadenleit- und Fadenspannelementen verzichtet werden, die bei einer seitlichen Zuführung der Fäden erforderlich sind. Ferner wird durch die Verringerung der Reibstellen bei einer solchen Fadenzufuhr die Fadenspannung reduziert.In the flat knitting machine according to the invention, the threads can be fed laterally as is usual. However, the flat knitting machine may also have a carriage having an opening on the top has, are fed through the threads to the thread guides and further to the needles in the needle beds. In this solution can be dispensed with a whole series of Fadenleit- and thread tensioning elements, which are required for a lateral feed of the threads. Furthermore, the thread tension is reduced by reducing the friction points in such a thread feed.

Nachfolgend werden verschiedene Ausführungsbeispiele der Fadenzuführung von erfindungsgemäßen Flachstrickmaschinen mit Bezug auf die Zeichnung näher beschrieben.Various embodiments of the yarn feeding of flat knitting machines according to the invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawing.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Flachstrickmaschine 100 mit einem vorderen Nadelbett 10 und einem hinteren Nadelbett 10' im Querschnitt. Über die Nadelbetten 10, 10' ist ein Schlitten 20 bewegbar, an dem vordere und hintere Strickschlösser 30, 30' befestigt sind, mit dem hier nicht näher dargestellte Strickwerkzeuge, die in den Nadelbetten 10, 10' gelagert sind, angesteuert und bewegt werden können. Die beiden Nadelbetten schließen einen Kammspalt KS zwischen sich ein. Dieser befindet sich auf einer Mittelachse M der Flachstrickmaschine 100. Fig. 1 shows a flat knitting machine 100 with a front needle bed 10 and a rear needle bed 10 'in cross section. About the needle beds 10, 10 ', a carriage 20 is movable, are attached to the front and rear knitting locks 30, 30', with the knitting tools not shown here, which are stored in the needle beds 10, 10 ', driven and can be moved , The two needle beds include a comb gap KS between them. This is located on a central axis M of the flat knitting machine 100.

Oberhalb der Nadelbetten 10, 10' und des Kammspaltes KS sind Fadenführer 40, 40' und 50, 50' angebracht. Die äußeren, von der Maschinenachse M weiter entfernten Fadenführer 40, 40' sind konventionelle Fadenführer, die vom Schlitten 20 über hier nicht gezeigte Mitnehmereinrichtungen mitbewegbar sind. Die inneren Fadenführer 50, 50' sind dagegen autark angetrieben Fadenführer, die somit vom Schlitten 20 unabhängig bewegt werden können. Auch eine Auf- und Abbewegung des Fadenführerarms bzw. des Fadenführernüsschens ist möglich. Die Anordnung der Fadenführer 40, 40' und 50, 50' in Bezug auf die Maschenachse M ist lediglich beispielhaft. Die Fadenführer 50, 50' könnten auch außen oder im Wechsel mit den Fadenführern 40, 40' angeordnet sein. Im dargestellten Beispiel sind die Fadenführer 40, 40' und 50, 50' außerdem auf einem Kreisbogen um den Kammspalt angeordnet. Sie könnten jedoch auch in einer gemeinsamen Horizontalen eben über dem Kammspalt angeordnet sein, wie später mit Bezug auf Fig. 4 verdeutlicht wird.Above the needle beds 10, 10 'and the comb gap KS yarn guide 40, 40' and 50, 50 'are mounted. The outer thread guides 40, 40 ', which are further away from the machine axis M, are conventional thread guides which can be moved by the carriage 20 via catching means, not shown here. The inner thread guides 50, 50 ', however, are self-propelled thread guides, which can thus be moved independently of the carriage 20. An up and down movement of the Fadenführerarms or the Fadenführernüsschen is possible. The arrangement of the yarn guides 40, 40 'and 50, 50' with respect to the stitch axis M is merely exemplary. The thread guides 50, 50 'could also be arranged outside or in alternation with the thread guides 40, 40'. In the illustrated example, the yarn guides 40, 40 'and 50, 50' are also arranged on a circular arc around the comb gap. However, they could also be in a common Horizontal just above the comb gap be arranged, as later with respect to Fig. 4 is clarified.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine der Fig. 1 entsprechende Schnittdarstellung durch eine zweite Flachstrickmaschine 100'. Die Maschine 100' unterscheidet sich von der Maschine 100 in der Gestaltung des Schlittens 20', der im Gegensatz zum Schlitten 20 an seiner Oberseite eine Öffnung 21 aufweist, durch die Fäden von oben den Fadenführern 40, 40', 50, 50' direkt zugeführt werden können. Auch eine vollständig nach oben offene Bauweise des Schlittens 20' ist denkbar. Die Zuführung der Fäden von oben hat den Vorteil, dass auf Fadenumlenkeinrichtungen, Fadenleitelemente und Fadenspannelemente verzichtet werden kann, die bei einer seitlichen Zuführung der Fäden zu den Fadenführern 40, 40', 50, 50' nötig sind. Ferner wird durch die Verringerung der Reibstellen bei einer solchen Fadenzufuhr die Fadenspannung reduziert. Fig. 2 shows one of the Fig. 1 corresponding sectional view through a second flat knitting machine 100 '. The machine 100 'differs from the machine 100 in the design of the carriage 20', which in contrast to the carriage 20 on its upper side has an opening 21, fed directly through the threads from above the yarn guides 40, 40 ', 50, 50' can be. A completely open top construction of the carriage 20 'is conceivable. The supply of the threads from above has the advantage that it is possible to dispense with thread deflection devices, thread guide elements and thread tension elements which are necessary when the threads are fed laterally to the thread guides 40, 40 ', 50, 50'. Furthermore, the thread tension is reduced by reducing the friction points in such a thread feed.
