Dynamic simulation of driving mechanism of the full-automatic flat knitting machine for glove

The driving mechanism of a full-automatic flat knitting machine for glove is a kind of combined mechanism in series,which drives the carriage to reciprocate.The parameters of the mechanism influences the main function parameters and performance of machine.Based on the kinematics analysis of the mechanism and the mathematical model established,a dynamic simulation software was programmed by Visual Basic 6.0.With the software the dynamic simulation and analysis of the main driving mechanism with different parameters can be performed.The simulation results which included the graph,data and the curve of the movement were verified by the high-speed photography.This provides a useful tool and sound theoretic basis for the design and improvement of the driving mechanism of the full-automatic flat knitting machine for glove.
