Abstract (en)

A needle bed structure for flat knitting machines that is located at two sides of a needle bed gap (11) includes a plurality of parallel needle plates (22), a plurality of knitting needles (24) and sinkers (25) located between the needle plates (22), and a sinker control portion (31) movable in parallel with the arranged direction of the sinkers (25), and at least one control cam (312) driven by a switching portion (311) to push the sinkers (25) to rotate towards the needle bed gap (11) during the switching movement. The switching portion (311) performs the switching movement according to the moving direction. The needle plates (22) hole at least one needle pressing board (28) to restrict vertical movement of the knitting needles (24). The switching portion (311) has a magnetic attracting portion (313) corresponding to the needle pressing board (28) to form magnetic attraction therewith. A spacer (26) is provided between the needle plates (22) to prevent horizontal movement of the sinkers (25).
