Abstract (en)
A directly driven auxiliary yarn guide apparatus for a flat knitting machine which includes a chassis (10), a needle bar (11) on the chassis (10), a slide track (12) above the needle bar (11), a yarn feeder (13) slidably mounted onto the slide track (12) and a yarn delivery device (14). The auxiliary yarn guide apparatus (20) includes a motor (21) located on the chassis (10) that is coupled with a spindle (22) and a plurality of yarn guide wheels (23) mounted on the spindle (22). The motor (21) drives the spindle (22) and the yarn guide wheels (23) spinning to guide yarns via the yarn delivery device (14) to the yarn feeder (13) to be knitted through the needle bar (11). Thereby yarn guiding stability improves and quality of knitting products also is enhanced.
