What Product Categories Does The Socks Machine Have?

Classification of hosiery machines Hosiery machines can be classified according to the form of needle bed, type of knitting needle and number of needle cylinders (beds). The flat sock machine has a higher machine size, and produces flat sock pieces that change the width of each section according to the shape of the feet and legs, and are sewn into sewn socks. The round sock machine has a wide range of machine numbers. The production of tubular sock blanks is based on changing the coil size of each section, or using elastic yarn, or weaving and forming the toe and heel to adapt to the shape of the foot. The toe of the tubular sock blank is closed to form a seamless sock. The production efficiency of the flat sock machine is low, and the round sock machine is widely used later. Socks Machine Structure The circular 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 sock machines also have opening and folding mechanisms. The flat socks machine still has a transfer mechanism.

The function of the yarn feeding mechanism is to lead the yarn from the bobbin to the weaving area, and there are two types: passive type and active type. Passive yarn feeding uses tension to pull the yarn out of the bobbin. Although there are tensioners and tension compensation devices to control the tension and output, the difference in yarn tension is still large. Active yarn feeding uses a special device to feed the yarn into the knitting area at a constant linear speed, and the difference in yarn tension is small.

The function of the knitting mechanism is to knit the yarn into a tubular stocking blank or a flat stocking piece through the work of the loop-forming machine. The knitting parts of the circular socks machine include knitting needles, sinkers, yarn guides and triangles. The flat socks machine has knitting needles, yarn bending pieces, yarn splitting pieces, looping pieces, yarn guides and pressing pieces. The knitting needle of the circular sock machine is arranged on the needle cylinder, and the yarn guide is fixed around the needle cylinder to send the yarn into the knitting area. There are several incoming lines called several routes, generally 1 to 12 routes. The more routes, the higher the productivity. When the needle cylinder rotates, the latch needle moves up and down under the action of the triangle, and is woven by the yarn feeder. When knitting the heel and toe of the socks, the needle picker and the needle presser are used to narrow and release the knitting needles participating in the knitting to form a bag shape. The knitting needles of the flat sock machine are fixed in a row on the needle bed and move with the needle bed. The yarn guide moves along the needle bed to lay the yarn, and at the same time, knitting is carried out through the cooperation of the yarn bending piece, the yarn splitting piece and the stripping piece.

The function of the control mechanism is to control the entry or exit of the relevant parts in the process of knitting a sock, and to control the needle cylinder, rotation speed and steering, as well as the length of the sock. The function of the transmission mechanism is to make each mechanism move according to a predetermined law. The needle cylinder of the circular socks machine not only rotates in one direction, but also rotates in two directions when knitting the heel and toe of the socks. The function of the needle selection mechanism is to arrange the pre-designed patterns in the needle selection device in sequence according to the requirements. The function of the density adjustment mechanism is to adjust the density of each section when knitting socks, which is done by changing the relative positions of the knitting needle and the sinker to adjust the bending depth. The function of the pulling mechanism is to draw out the formed loops from the knitting area by means of weights, rollers, air flow, etc. during the knitting process.

The function of the opening and folding mechanism is to start the sock when there is no coil at the beginning of knitting, and when the sock is knitted to a certain length, the sock is folded, and the single-layer sock is folded into a double layer, so that the sock has a good quality. Elastic, no curling, usually done with sock hooks. The main function of the transfer mechanism is to use the transfer mechanism to move the loop from one needle to another, so as to change the knitting width of the sock and make it shape.
