Tubular double-needle bed warp knitting machine

Abstract

A tubular double-needle bed warp knitting machine includes a let-off mechanism, a knitting element, and a take-up and batching device. The knitting element includes guide needles in a circular pattern, two circular needle beds arranged internally and externally, knitting needles in a circular pattern along the internal and external needle beds, and knitting components that move in coordination with the knitting needles. Some of the guide needles form loops on the internal and external circular needle beds, while other guide needles alternately form loops on the internal and external circular needle beds to connect sections of the two fabric pieces to create a three-dimensional tubular fabric. The formed three-dimensional tubular fabric exits the knitting area through the traction of the take-up and batching device. The tubular double-needle warp knitting machine simplifies production processes of tubular double-needle warp knitted fabrics and leverages the advantages of tubular fabrics to optimize product performance.
