Abstract:

Aining at problems of exiating sweater production on incapable of integrally forming and needing of linking and stitching, the paper studied a whole garment knitting process of the four-bed computerized flat knitting machine. Based on the working principles of the needle bed, the machine head cam system, the tension device and the yarn feeding and guiding device, the paper analyzed the forming knitting princepoes of the flat stitch, the ribbed stitch and the open end, uses chassic sweater as example, and discusses its structure forming method on the four-bed comprterized flat knitting machine. Tt is found that the computerized flat dnitting machine configures based on four bed can perform all-needles tubular knitting on the sweater; and the basis of the whole garment knitting process on the four-bed computerized flat knitting machine is tubular knitting, including tubular poain knitting, tubular rib knitting and open-end knitting. Finally, it is found that typical whole garments such as sweater with long sleeve and turtle neck, long sleeve cardigan and sleeveless sweaters can be knitted on the four-bed computerized flat knitting machine by properly choosing the dnitting direction and configuring the yarn feeder.
