Circular knitting machine with real-time prompt of knitting machine status

A circular knitting machine with real-time prompt of a knitting machine status. The circular knitting machine includes a base, a cloth rolling machine that rotates relative to the base during knitting operation process, a main camera module fixed on the base, and an auxiliary camera module fixed on the base and disposed close to the main camera module. The main camera module includes a first central axis, and the main camera module takes pictures of a tubular fabric knitted by the circular knitting machine. The auxiliary camera module includes a second central axis intersecting with the first central axis. The auxiliary camera module and the main camera module face a same side of the tubular fabric. A startup timing of the auxiliary camera module only occurs when one of the plurality of connecting rods passes between the main camera module and the tubular fabric.

Fully automatic method for handling yarn knots in a continuous flat knitting process

The method includes the following steps: A knot alarm detects knots and triggers an alarm; the machine automatically loads and runs a preset knot handling program; the machine pulls out the yarn segment containing the knot from the knitting area and secures the knot; the machine reinserts the subsequent yarn back into the knitting area, returning to the knitting position before the alarm; the machine cuts off the excess yarn segment containing the knot and continues knitting. The process method of the present invention utilizes a knot alarm set on the flat knitting machine to automatically detect knots on the yarn in advance. Once a knot is detected, the yarn segment containing the knot is pulled out and cut off, thereby removing the knot while hiding the yarn breaks and preventing yarn ladder.
