Abstract
The invention provides a circular knitting machine for prompting a knitting machine status instantaneously based on a cloth surface status of a fabric, comprising a needle cylinder, a camera module capable of photographing the fabric during doffing, an information processing unit, and an encoder. A camera lens of the camera module does not rotate with the needle cylinder, and a shooting timing of the camera lens is controlled by photographing signals. The information processing unit receives image data generated by the camera module, and compares the images, when there is a difference between the two consecutive image data on a same vertical line, a knitting machine status is prompted. The encoder generates pulse signals when the needle cylinder rotates, the encoder outputs the pulse signals to the camera module or the information processing unit, and the receiver counts the pulse signals to generate the photographing signals.
