Yarn carrier device with yarn tension control function for flat knitting machine, and yarn tension control method

A yarn tension control method of a yarn carrier device for a flat knitting machine, comprising:

• (1) connecting a carriage and a carriage connector, and outputting, by a contact sensor, a contact signal of the carriage and a yarn carrier module to a carriage control system;
• (2) after the carriage drives the yarn carrier device to knit one line of yarn, driving, by the carriage, the yarn carrier device to move from a knitting area to a yarn carrier stop, separating the carriage from the yarn carrier device, and at this moment, stopping the yarn carrier device from moving;
• (3) when the carriage turns, connecting the carriage to the yarn carrier device again, such that the yarn carrier device is driven by the carriage to enter the knitting area again;
• feeding, by the contact sensor, a contact signal of the carriage and the yarn carrier module back to the carriage control system, emitting, by a signal emitter, an ascending instruction of a fixing frame, and after a signal receiver on the fixing frame receives the ascending instruction emitted by the signal emitter, driving, by the fixing frame, a bobbin to ascend along vertical sliding grooves to tension redundant yarn;
• and
• (4) after the carriage turns to enter the knitting area again, driving the fixing frame to descend along the vertical sliding grooves to enable the redundant yarn to be uniformly distributed on knitting needles participating in knitting;
• wherein, the yarn carrier device for a flat knitting machine comprises the carriage connector, and the carriage connector is connected to the carriage, such that the carriage is able to drive the yarn carrier device for a flat knitting machine to move leftwards and rightwards;
• the carriage connector is installed on a Uz seat, a yarn carrier sliding rod is fixed on the Uz seat, and a lower portion of the yarn carrier sliding rod is connected to a yarn carrier;
• the fixing frame is slidably disposed on the yarn carrier sliding rod, the bobbin and the signal receiver are installed on the fixing frame, and the signal receiver is used for receiving a control signal for controlling the fixing frame to ascend or descend;
• the contact sensor is disposed on the carriage connector, a signal output end of the contact sensor is connected to the carriage control system, and the contact sensor is used for outputting the contact signal of the carriage and the yarn carrier module;
• and the carriage control system comprises the signal emitter, which transmits the ascending or descending instruction of the fixing frame to the signal receiver, and after the signal receiver receives the ascending or descending instruction, the fixing frame ascends or descends along the vertical sliding grooves.
