Method of knitting warp knitted fabric and warp knitting machine
A double raschel warp knitting machine including: a pair of frontside jacquard bars JB 2, 3 and a pair of backside jacquard bars JB 4, 5 as jacquard bars, in which each of the frontside jacquard bars JB 2, 3 and the backside jacquard bars JB 4, 5 is a half-gauge jacquard bar; and at least one frontside ground guide bar GB 1 provided on the front side of the frontside jacquard bars JB 2, 3 and at least one backside ground guide bar GB 6, 7, 8 provided on the back side of the backside jacquard bars JB 4, 5 , as ground guide bars. The double raschel warp knitting machine is characterized in that the four half-gauge jacquard bars have jacquard guides at the same positions in the width direction of the knitting machine.
1 . A method of knitting a double raschel warp knitted fabric with a double raschel warp knitting machine, the double raschel warp knitting machine comprising: a frontside knitting needle row and a backside knitting needle row as a plurality of knitting needle rows; a pair of frontside jacquard bars and a pair of backside jacquard bars as jacquard bars in which jacquard guides are arranged, the jacquard guides of the pair of frontside jacquard bars and the pair of backside jacquard bars forming four jacquard bars, wherein the four jacquard bars are arranged in rows in a front-rear direction of the knitting machine, in which each of the frontside jacquard bars and the backside jacquard bars is a half-gauge jacquard bar; and at least one frontside ground guide bar provided on a front side of the frontside jacquard bars and at least one backside ground guide bar provided on a back side of the backside jacquard bars, as ground guide bars in which guides are arranged, wherein in the double raschel warp knitting machine, the half-gauge jacquard bars of each of the frontside jacquard bars and the backside jacquard bars form four half-gauge jacquard bars, wherein the four half-gauge jacquard bars have the jacquard guides at the same positions in a width direction of the knitting machine, the method comprising:
supplying different colors of yarns to the four half-gauge jacquard bars, respectively,
knitting a frontside base fabric by the at least one frontside ground guide bar,
knitting a backside base fabric by the at least one backside ground guide bar,
wherein at a predetermined place, at least four places are present, and the half-gauge jacquard bars are selected for the predetermined places, respectively, wherein one of the four half-gauge jacquard bars is selected, and the selected half-gauge jacquard bar knits a knit structure where a yarn extends over two or more wales of the backside base fabric and forms stitches on the backside base fabric, and
at the same predetermined place, each of unselected three of the half-gauge jacquard bars knits a knit structure where a different yarn is inserted into the frontside base fabric.
2 . The double raschel warp knitted fabric knitting method according to claim 1 , wherein the yarn from the knit structure formed from the selected half-gauge jacquard bar further forms stitches on the frontside base fabric and the backside base fabric.
3 . The double raschel warp knitted fabric knitting method according to claim 1 , wherein the yarn from the knit structure formed from the selected half-gauge jacquard bar further forms stitches on only the backside base fabric, and a portion of the yarn is between stitches inserted into the frontside base fabric.
4 . The double raschel warp knitted fabric knitting method according to claim 1 , wherein the yarn from the knit structure formed from the selected half-gauge jacquard bar overlaps with the backside base fabric by two needles.
5 . The double raschel warp knitted fabric knitting method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one backside ground guide bar is provided in the double raschel warp knitting machine, and stitches are formed on the frontside base fabric by the at least one backside ground guide bar.
