Background

From the document US6176107B 1a circular knitting machine is known which has replaceable parts for limiting the vertical movement of the sinkers. The circular knitting machine has a cylinder arrangement with a pretensioned limiting member. A pre-tensioned restraining member is positioned in the compound receiving channel and is used to provide a bearing-like surface that engages the sinker, thereby restraining the sinker from undesired vertical movement. Each sinker has a lower nose having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a leading edge. Each sinker also has an upper nose having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a leading edge. The top surface of the lower nose portion and the bottom surface of the upper nose portion define a gap. The sinker also has a pressing projection.

DE3325103a1 discloses a press sinker for a knitting or warp knitting machine, the front part of which has at least one stitch looping-off edge, the press sinker engaging with its front part in a longitudinally displaceable manner in a groove, for guiding and provided with control feet for control in the sinker support by means of a sinker lock, wherein the area of the underside of the control foot in contact with the recess is bounded on both sides by sharp-edged steps and has a length which is less than the sinker stroke, wherein the step belongs to an edge recess which extends to the control foot in the central area and, on the upper side, the edge recess is assigned an edge recess of the top side of the sinker, which edge recess of the top side extends from the control leg of the central area to the inner end of the front part of the sinker, so that between the two edge recesses there is a narrower web of the sinker, which gives the control foot of the central region resilience in the direction of longitudinal displacement.

In the pressing sinker according to DE3325103a1, the contact area of the pressing sinker is delimited with a sharp edge and is dimensioned such that during the longitudinal adjusting movement of the pressing sinker, the two adjusting paths delimiting the steps overlap, ensuring that in the guide groove of the front part interacting with the needle during stitch formation dirt does not settle, but is pushed by the sharp edge step towards one or the other end of the groove.

From EP1793023a1, a knitting machine is known, which has: a needle bed having a plurality of channels for receiving knitting tools; a plurality of knitting tools arranged longitudinally displaceably in a channel of the needle bed and having working parts; a knitting cam box provided to drive the knitting tool and disposed adjacent to the needle bed such that at least one air guide space is defined between the needle bed and the knitting cam box; and an air delivery device connected to the air guiding space so as to guide the air flow to the working member.

Document GB2177125A relates to a knockover sinker for circular knitting machines. The compression sinker has a head with two hooks and two knockover edges. The hook and the knockover edge form a first recess and the hook and the knockover edge form a second recess. When the knockover sinkers are arranged in the guide channels of the comb ring, the two recesses are located above the comb ring.

Document GB2066861A shows a sinker for circular knitting machines having a front portion with a lower edge rising obliquely, a nose portion and an upper edge rising obliquely. Below the nose, the lower edge is continued by an exit radius. The sinkers are mounted in a sinker ring, which is not shown and is not specified either.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 shows a stitch forming element 100 designed as a hold-down knockover sinker. The stitch-forming element 100 is intended for a stitch-forming textile machine designed as a knitting machine and can be guided and displaced in a guide channel.

Stitch-forming element 100 has a longitudinal axis 102 and a vertical axis 104, a first head section 106, a second head section 107, a first shaft section 108, and a second shaft section 110. The stitch-forming element 100 has a smaller width at the second head section 107 than at the first head section 106 and at the shaft sections 108, 110. The stitch forming element 100 has a drive section 112, a drive edge 113, a knockover edge 115, a yarn guide section 114 with a yarn guide edge 117, and a guide section 116. The drive section 112 and the drive edge 113 serve to introduce a drive force in order to displace the stitch forming element 100 in the longitudinal direction. The drive edge 113 extends in height direction between the head section 106 and the first shaft section 108. The drive section 112 is arranged between the first shaft section 108 and the second shaft section 110. The yarn guiding section 114 with the yarn guiding edge 117 serves for pressing the yarn and is assigned to the head section 106. The guide section 116 serves to guide the stitch forming element 100 such that it can be displaced in the longitudinal direction in the guide channel and is assigned to the head section 106.

Stitch forming element 100 has stitch forming recess 144. The stitch forming recess 144 is used to grip and/or guide the thread to form a stitch. The stitch-forming recess 144 is arranged vertically above the guide section 116 and has an open first end 120 and a closed second end 122 in the longitudinal direction and a lower edge 115 and an upper edge 117 in the vertical direction. Lower edge 115 and upper edge 117 are both straight and are arranged parallel to each other and to longitudinal axis 102. The stitch-forming recess 144 closes at the second end 122 in an arc of relatively small radius.

Stitch forming element 100 has a cleaning recess 118. The cleaning recess 118 serves to remove dirt, for example abraded fibres, from the guide channel during operation of the textile machine. The cleaning recess 118 is arranged on the guide section 116 and has an open first end 120 and a closed second end 122 in the longitudinal direction and a lower edge 124 and an upper edge 126 in the vertical direction.

The lower edge 124 and the upper edge 126 are both straight and at the first end 120 at a larger distance from each other in the vertical direction and at the second end 122 at a smaller distance from each other in the vertical direction, and the lower edge 124 and the upper edge 126 are arranged to be open towards each other and have an opening angle α of about 12 ° towards the first end 120, so that the cleaning recess 118 widens continuously from the second end 122 to the first end. The cleaning recess 118 is closed at the second end 122 in an arc of relatively large radius. Lower edge 124 is disposed at an angle to longitudinal axis 102 and upper edge 126 is disposed parallel to longitudinal axis 102. The second end 122 is located upstream of the yarn guiding section 114 in the longitudinal direction 102 in the direction towards the first end 120.

Fig. 2 shows a stitch forming element 100 in a stitch forming textile machine 128 designed as a knitting machine, the stitch forming textile machine 128 having a stitch forming element carrier 130. Stitch-forming element carrier 130 has a comb-like loop with guide channels (e.g., 132). The stitch forming element 100 is displaceably guided in a guide channel in a longitudinal direction 102. The guide channels 132 are arranged at the top of the comb ring at the front and extend radially with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stitch forming element carrier 130.

The guide channels 132 each have a bottom section and two wall sections and are open to the top of the bottom section. The stitch forming element 100 is guided with its guide section 116 on the bottom section and between the wall sections of the guide channel. The longitudinal axis 102 of the stitch forming element 100 and the longitudinal guide channel axis correspond to each other. The height of the guide section 116 of the stitch forming element 100 and the height of the guide channel correspond to each other. The knockover edge 115 and the yarn guiding section 114 with the yarn guiding edge 117 project in the vertical direction 104 above the guide channel 132, and a cleaning recess 118 with a lower edge 124 and an upper edge 126 is arranged in the guide channel 132.

During operation, stitch-forming element 100 is displaced between an extended first end position and a retracted second end position. As shown in FIG. 2, dirt 134 (e.g., abraded fibers) collects in the cleaning recess 118. Further, reference is made in particular to fig. 1 and the related description.

In the first end position, the cleaning recess 118 projects with its first end 120 inwardly in the longitudinal direction 102 from the guide channel 132. As can be seen from fig. 3, dirt 134 is conveyed inward by means of the cleaning recess 118 when the stitch forming element 100 is displaced in the direction of the arrow 136 in the direction of the projecting first end position, and, as shown in fig. 4, dirt 134 is discharged from the cleaning recess 118 when the stitch forming element 100 is displaced in the direction of the arrow 138 in the direction of the second end position. The angled arrangement of the lower edge 124 facilitates downward drainage. Further, reference is made in particular to fig. 1 to 2 and the related description.

The second end 122 of the cleaning recess 118 is arranged in the second end position in front of the guide channel 132 in the longitudinal direction 102, so that the cleaning recess 118 is accessible to the guide channel 132 in the second end position of the stitch forming element 100. In this way, the guide channel 132 can be acted upon and cleaned, for example, by the cleaning air 140 at the second end position of the stitch forming element 100. Fig. 5 shows the blowing of the guide channel 132 from the outside when the stitch forming element 100 is displaced into the second end position, and fig. 6 shows the blowing of the guide channel 132 from the inside when the stitch forming element 100 is displaced into the second end position. Fig. 5 and 6 also show the stitch forming element 142 having been displaced to a first end position. Further, reference is made in particular to fig. 1 to 4 and the related description.

The word "may" particularly denote optional features of the invention. There are therefore further developments and/or exemplary embodiments of the invention, which additionally or alternatively have individual features or individual characteristics.

Individual features may also be selected from combinations of features disclosed herein, if desired, and these individual features may be used in combination with other features to define the subject matter of the claims, while resolving structural and/or functional relationships that exist between features.
