Abstract: A fully automatic method for handling knots in flat knitting continuous knitting process includes a knot alarm detecting knots and triggering 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 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.

Abstract: This application relates to a yarn carrier device with a yarn tension control function for a flat knitting machine, and a yarn tension control method. At the moment a carriage is connected to a yarn carrier device, a fixing frame carrying a bobbin ascends or descends on sliding rails installed on the yarn carrier device. The ascending or descending speed, time and distance of the fixing frame can be calculated directly according to a yarn carrier stop, the quantity of an unknitted portion of the yarn and the speed of the carriage. When the carriage contacts a yarn carrier, the fixing frame is controlled to ascend along the sliding rails. When the carriage drives the yarn carrier to enter a knitting area, the fixing frame is controlled to descend.
