Abstract (en)

A yarn conveying system for a circular knitting machine (10), includes at least one yarn conveying tray (20) and a control unit (40) electrically connected to the circular knitting machine (10) and the yarn conveying tray (20). The circular knitting machine (10) has a needle cylinder (11) and at least one yarn feeder (12) arranged annularly on the needle cylinder (11). The yarn conveying tray (20) is wound by at least two separate yarns (30) and includes a driving device (23) to drive the yarn conveying tray (20) rotating so that the yarns (30) are supplied via a yarn conveying path (R) to the yarn feeder (12). The control unit (40) generates a yarn feeding signal (S1) to the circular knitting machine (10) to control yarn feeding speed and a driving signal (S2) to the driving device (23) to control rotational speed of the yarn conveying tray (20). Thus users can operate the control unit (40) to control speed of the yarns supplied from the yarn conveying tray (20) to the yarn feeder (12).
