The described small fluted disc (1) and large fluted disc (3) are coaxially fixed on the both sides of main shaft hole of knotter rack (201). The described knotter jaw and bill hook combined mechanism (R) and the rope gripper driving mechanism (Q) are installed on both sides of the knotter rack (2). The knotting driving incomplete bevel gear (5) is arranged on the outer circumference of the described large fluted disc (3), and the knotting driven bevel gear (9) is fixed with the bill hook combined mechanism (R). The knotting driven bevel gear (9) meshes with the knotting driving incomplete bevel gear (5).

(29) As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 12, the described cutter arm (7) is hinged into the cutter arm shaft hole (202) on the knotter rack (2) by the cutter arm shaft (8). The grooved cam (4) is arranged in the inner of the large fluted disc (3), and the cutter arm roller (6) matches up with the grooved cant (4).

(30) As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 20, the described grooved cam (4) has space contour curved surface, which is an enveloping surface as described below in the line of P point and Q point in the static coordinate system O.sub.-xyz. The establishing processes of the described space theoretic contour cursed surface are as follows:

(31) Assumed that the center point of the upper surface of the cutter arm roller (6) is marked with P, and the center point of the lower surface oldie cutter arm roller (6) is marked with is Q. The vertical line PO.sub.1 is derived from the center point P of the upper surface of the cutter arm roller (6) to the axis line of cutter arm shaft (8) along the direction of rotational central shaft of the large fluted disc (3). Their intersection point is regarded as O.sub.1, which is the center of the dynamic coordinate system. The dynamic coordinate system is established and represented as O.sub.1-x.sub.1y.sub.1z.sub.1 according to the right-hand rule, its x.sub.1 axis is along the direction of the vertical line PO.sub.1, and its y.sub.1 axis is defined as the swing central axis of the cutter arm roller (6). The vertical line is set up through the point O.sub.1, which is perpendicular to rotational center shaft of the large fluted disc (3). Their vertical intersection is the center of the static coordinate system, which is marked with, point O. In the static coordinate system, its x axis is parallel to x.sub.1 axis, and its y axis is parallel to y.sub.1 axis. The static coordinate system is also represented as O-xyz according to the right-hand rule. In the initial position, the dynamic coordinate system may be obtained by translating the static coordinate system 22 mm along the negative direction of z axis and 58 mm along the negative direction of y axis. Assumed that the angle between the line PO.sub.1 and the x.sub.1 axis is .sub.0 degree in the initial position, and the value of .sub.0 is 5/36; the swing angle oldie cutter arm is degree in the initial position; the length of the line PO.sub.1 is 1, and the value of 1 is 64 mm; the distance between point P and point Q is f, and the value of f is 17 mm. Therefore, the coordinate of point P and point Q in the dynamic coordinate system may be expressed as (64 cos(+5/36), 64 sin(+5/36), 0) and (47 cos(+5/36), 47 sin(+5/36), 0) respectively.

(32) Assumed that the angle is the rotation angle between the dynamic coordinate system and the static coordinate system around x axis in clockwise at any time. The coordinate of any point between the static coordinate system and the dynamic coordinate system may be derived from below transformation relation

(33) $\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\ y\\ z\\ 1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1& 0& 0& 0\\ 0& 1& 0& -n\\ 0& 0& 1& -m\\ 0& 0& 0& 1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1& 0& 0& 0\\ 0& \cos & -\sin & 0\\ 0& \sin & \cos & 0\\ 0& 0& 0& 1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1& 0& 0& 0\\ 0& 1& 0& n\\ 0& 0& 1& m\\ 0& 0& 0& 1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{c}x1\\ y1\\ z1\\ 1\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}x1\\ \left(y1+n\right)\cos -\left(z1+m\right)\sin -n\\ \left(y1+n\right)\sin +\left(z1+m\right)\cos -m\\ 1\end{array}\right].$
Where, x1, y1 and z1 are three coordinates of any point in the dynamic coordinate system, and x, y and z are three coordinates of any point in the static coordinate system. Thus, the homogeneous coordinates of point P in the static coordinate system may be expressed as

(34) $\left[\begin{array}{c}l\cos \left(-{}_0\right)\\ -l\sin \left(-{}_0\right)\cos +n\cos -m\sin -n\\ -l\sin \left(-{}_0\right)\sin +n\sin +m\cos -m\\ 1\end{array}\right].$
In the same way, the homogeneous coordinates of point Q in the static coordinate system may be expressed as

(35) $\left[\begin{array}{c}\left(l-f\right)\cos \left(-{}_0\right)\\ -\left(l-f\right)\sin \left(-{}_0\right)\cos +n\cos -m\sin -n\\ -\left(l-f\right)\sin \left(-{}_0\right)\sin +n\sin +m\cos -m\\ 1\end{array}\right].$
Where, the turning angle of the cutter arm (7) at rise travel phase [0, /3] of the grooved cam (4) may be determined by

(36) $=-\frac{{}_1}{2}\sin \left[\frac{2\left(-\right)}{-}\right]+\frac{{}_1}{-}\left(-\right),$
and the turning angle of the cutter arm (7) at return stroke phase [/3, 2/3] of the grooved cam (4) may be determined by

(37) 0$={}_1+\frac{{}_1}{2}\sin \left[\frac{2\left(-\right)}{}\right]-\frac{{}_1}{}\left(-\right)$

(38) As shown in FIG. 3, actual contour of the grooved cam (4) is derived from above-mentioned theoretic contour of the grooved cam (4) according to the rule of normal-direction isometry.

(39) As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 8, the rope-gripping driving incomplete bevel gear (20) is arranged on the outer circumference of the described small fluted disc (1), and the rope-gripping driven bevel gear (19) is fixed with the rope gripper driving mechanism (Q). The rope-gripping driven bevel gear (19) meshes with the rope-gripping driving incomplete bevel gear (20). The described rope gripper driving mechanism (Q) also comprises the spiral gear (26), and the spiral gear (26) is fixedly connected with the rope gripper (1) by the rope-gripping plate shall (27).

(40) As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 1, the described cutter arm (7) is hinged into the cutter arm shaft hole (202) on the knotter rack (2) by the cutter arm shaft (8). The described grooved cam (4) drives the cutter arm roller (6) and makes the described cutter arm (7) swing back and forth around the cutter arm shaft (8).

(41) As shown in FIG. 4, the cutter arm roller (6) is cylindrical, and it rolls in the form of line contact along space contour curved surface of the grooved cam (4).

The both ends of the cutter arm shaft (8) are connected and fixed by bolts. So, the composite structure of plain bearing (29) and thrust ball bearing (28) makes the end face of the cutter arm shaft hole (202) prevent friction from the end face of the axle hole on the cutter arm shaft (8), which both ensures strictly the installation position of the cutter arm (7) and makes the cutter arm (7) rotate flexibly.

(43) As shown in FIG. 6, the described knotter jaw and bill hook combined mechanism (R) comprises a knotter jaw (13), a bill hook (14), a pressure plate of bill hook (10) and a cylinder cam (12) on the knotter rack (2).

The pressure plate of bill hook (10) is hinged into the axle hole of pressure plate of bill hook (207) on the knotter rack (2) by a pressure plate shat of bill hook (1001). The pressure plate shaft of bill hook (1001) is sheathed the compression spring (11), and the end of the compression spring (11) is fixed by a bolt. So, the compression force imposed by the pressure plate of bill hook (10) may be adjusted. The contour of the cylinder cam (12) is Archimedes spiral, and matches up with the roller fastened to the axle head of the bill hook (14). When the knotter jaw (13) rotates a circle, the bill hook (14) will open and close under the control of the cylinder cam (12), and finishes the action of rope-hooking.

The rope-gripping moving plate (21) is hinged into the swing shaft hole of rope-gripping moving plate (206) by the swing shaft of rope-gripping moving plate (23). The backside of the rope-gripping moving plate (21) is pressed by the pressure plate of rope-gripping moving plate (22). The pressure plate of rope-gripping moving plate (22) is hinged into the axle hole of pressure plate of rope-gripping moving plate (208) on the knotter rack (2) by a hinge pin. When the rope-gripping plate (16) rotates, the rope-gripping moving plate (21) may swing around the swing shall of rope-gripping moving plate (23).

The rope-gripping driven bevel gear (19) and the involute worm (25) are fixed on both sides of the worm shaft (18) respectively. The spiral gear (26) and the rope-gripping plate (16) are fixed by the rope-gripping plate shaft (27). The involute worm (25) meshes with the spiral gear (26). The nut boss (2501) is set up at the end of the involute worm (25), which is greatly convenient installing and dismantling the involute worm (25).

(46) As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the bosses (209) are set up among the end surface of the rope-gripping plate (16), the end surface of the spiral gear (26) and the end surface of rope-gripping plate axle hole (205), which reduce frictions in the working process of the described knotter and makes for transmission. The second thrust ball bearing (31) may also be installed between the spiral gear (26) and the rope-gripping plate shaft hole (205), instead of the boss (209), as shown in FIG. 11.

(47) As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 8, the knotter jaw (13) will be driven to wind the rope when the knotting driven bevel gear (9) meshes with the knotting driving incomplete bevel gear (5). At the same time, the bill hook (14) opens and closes to hook the rope under the control of the cylinder cam (12). The involute worm (25) drives the spiral gear (26) to rotate when the rope-gripping driven bevel gear (19) meshes with the rope-gripping driving incomplete bevel gear (20), and the rope-gripping plate (16) fixed with the spiral gear (26) is driven to rotate. The described knotter jaw and bill hook combined mechanism (R) and rope gripper driving mechanism (Q) are installed on both sides of the knotter rack (2), which fully utilizes the installation space of the knotter rack (2) and makes structure parameters matching of the knotter rack (2) more flexible. The transmission ratio of the involute worm gear (25) and the spiral gear (26) is 3. The thread number of the optimized described involute worm (25) is 2, and the teeth number of the described spiral gear (26) is 6. Three grooves of rope-gripping plate (24) are evenly distributed along the edge of the rope-gripping plate (16), in each cycle of knotting, when the described small fluted disc (1) rotates a cycle, three grooves (24) of rope-gripping plate (16) will rotate 120 degrees by the rope gripper driving mechanism (Q). So, the rope can reach the middle position of the rope-cutting knife (15) when the rope-gripping plate (16) rotates from initial position to end position of rope-gripping, and the length of slip-cutting the rope can be prolonged and rope-cutting action of the knotter becomes more reliable.

(48) As shown FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, the described knotter rack (2) also comprises main shaft hole of knotter rack (201), the cutter arm shaft hole (202), the worm shaft hole (203), the knotter jaw axle hole (204) and the rope-gripping plate axle hole (205). In order to reduce the manufacture difficulty of above-mentioned axle holes on the knotter rack (2) and ensure processing precision of the axle holes, axial lead d of the knotter jaw axle hole (204) and axial lead a of main shall hole of knotter rack (201) are set up with the type of non-orthogonal intersecting axis. Axial lead c of the worm shaft hole (203) is perpendicular to axial lead a of main shaft hole of knotter rack (201). Axial lead b of the cutter arm shaft hole (202) is vertical in space with axial lead d of the knotter jaw axle hole (204). Axial lead b of the cutter arm shalt hole (202) and axial lead e of the rope-gripping plate axle hole (205) is perpendicular in space to axial lead of main shaft hole of knotter rack (201). The head face of main shalt hole of knotter rack (201) is regarded as projection plane of a main view, and angle relation of the axle holes on the knotter rack (2) is shown in FIG. 14, FIG. 15 and FIG. 16. The worm shaft hole (203) is set up on one side of the knotter rack (2), and the worm shaft (18) is installed in the worm shaft hole (203). The rope-gripping driven bevel gear (19) fixed with the worm shaft (18) meshes with the rope-gripping driving incomplete bevel gear (20).

(49) The shaft angle between axial lead d of knotter jaw axle hole (204) and axial lead a of main shaft hole of knotter rack (201) is 98 degrees, the shaft angle between axial lead c of worm shaft hole (203) and axial lead a of main shaft hole of knotter rack (201) is 90 degrees, the shaft angle between axial lead d of knotter jaw axle hole (204) and axial lead c of worm shaft hole (203) is 30 degrees, the shaft angle between axial lead e of rope-gripping plate axle hole (205) and axial lead c of worm shaft hole (203) is 72 degrees, and the shaft angle between axial lead b of the cutter arm shaft hole (202) and axial lead d of knotter jaw axle hole (204) is 90 degrees. By the above-mentioned optimized arrangement of the axis lines angle of the described knotter rack (2), the power drive of knotting motions is realized and the space of the knotter rack (2) is fully used, which makes structure parameters matching of the knotter more reasonable and is convenient for processing the axle holes on the knotter rack (2).

(50) From the above, the knotter invented by the patent is different from D-knotter shown in FIG. 18 and FIG. 19, which differences lie in the spatial structure and transmission arrangement of two types of knotter. When the knotter driven by double fluted disc works, the small fluted disc (1) and the large fluted disc (3) are synchronously driven to rotate by main shalt of the knotter, and the rope is firstly carried to the rope-gripping groove (24) by a rope-conveying needle. The rope-gripping driving incomplete bevel gear (20) on the small fluted disc (1), which can control the action of the rope gripper (J), meshes with the rope-gripping driven bevel gear (19) fixed on one end of the worm shaft (18). The involute worm gear (25) fixed on another end of the worm shaft (18) meshes with the spiral gear (26), and the rope-gripping plate (16) is driven to rotate. The rope is gripped between the rope-gripping moving plate (21) and the rope-gripping plate (16) as the rope-gripping plate (16) rotates, and the rope overlaps on the surface of the knotter jaw (13). After the small fluted disc (1) rotates a phase angle, the knotting driving incomplete bevel gear (5) on the large fluted disc (3), which can control the rotation of the knotter jaw (13), meshes with the knotting driven bevel gear (9) fixed on the end of the blotter jaw (13) as the large fluted disc (3) rotates, and the knotter jaw (13) is driven to rotate. The rope with a ring is twined on the surface of the knotter jaw (13). Meanwhile, under the control of the cylinder cam (12) on the knotter rack (2), the bill hook (14) opens to hook the rope and closes to clamp the rope between the knotter jaw (13) and the bill hook (14). After the large fluted disc (3) continues to rotate a phase angle, the grooved cam (4) controls the cutter arm (5) to swing, and the rope-cutting knife (15) installed on the cutter arm (5) cuts off the rope under the rope gripper (J). And next, the arcuate gap of cutter arm (30) forcibly trips off the knot twined on the surface of the knotter jaw (13). Finally, a fast knot is finished. When the large fluted disc (3) rotates to its initial position, the cutter arm (7) swings back to its initial position in reverse. So, a whole knotting process is over, and the described knotter will prepare to start next knotting.

(51) FIG. 20 is the coordinate system of establishing space theoretic contour curved surface of the grooved cam (4).
