Dynamic loads in the glove machine due to the carriages reciprocating motion and the dynamic load reduction

Abstract

This research is devoted to analyzing the dynamic loads generated in the glove machine at reciprocating motion of knitting and intermediate carriages. Proposed is a method for determining the maximum dynamic loads in the glove machine carriages’ drive. It is noted that the dynamic loads reduction can be achieved by equipping the drive with energy accumulation and compensation units, in which quality it is expedient to use the cylindrical compression springs. The obtained dependence allows to determine the necessary stiffness of compression springs (energy accumulating and compensating units), at which the dynamic loads due to the carriages masses’ inertia can be almost completely eliminated.
