Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sock processing technology, specifically to a sock processing shaping and drying integrated machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of socks, a shaping and drying machine is needed to soften the sock fibers with high-temperature steam, thereby shaping them into a specific form and completing the shaping process.

[0003] The existing patent document CN218026753U discloses a shaping and drying integrated machine for sock processing. In this utility model, by setting guide columns, moving rods, moving circular plates and damping circular plates, the device can replace sock support templates in batches during actual use. Moreover, the replacement process is relatively convenient, and the stability of the sock support templates after replacement can be guaranteed. This solves the problems of the original device in terms of inconvenience in batch replacement of sock support templates, the cumbersome replacement process, and the poor overall stability of the replaced sock support templates.

[0004] However, existing shaping and drying machines for socks are not suitable for evenly drying socks from both the inside and outside. This results in low drying efficiency and a significantly longer overall drying time, making it difficult to meet the high-efficiency requirements of large-scale production. Existing shaping and drying machines do not dry the inside of the socks sufficiently, leaving moisture residue that can easily breed bacteria inside the socks, affecting the hygiene quality of the product. Over-drying the outside can damage the fibers, reducing the strength and elasticity of the socks and affecting their lifespan. At the same time, uneven drying causes different parts of the socks to shrink at different rates, making them prone to deformation during subsequent wear, seriously affecting the appearance and wearing comfort of the socks. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a shaping and drying integrated machine for sock processing, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing shaping and drying integrated machine for sock processing is not convenient for drying the processed socks evenly from both the inside and outside.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a shaping and drying integrated machine for sock processing, comprising a base, an integrated machine box disposed above the base, a sock support plate disposed inside the integrated machine box, a hollow mesh cylinder disposed on the upper surface of the sock support plate, a drying mechanism disposed inside the integrated machine box, a driving mechanism disposed above the base, and a support mechanism disposed above the integrated machine box;

[0009] The drying mechanism includes a first pump body located inside an integrated chassis. A first pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first pump body, and an air guide hood is provided at the bottom of the first pipe. A second pump body is located below the first pump body inside the integrated chassis. A second pipe is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the second pump body, and a perforated pipe is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the second pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the end of the lead screw away from the drive motor is connected to the mounting groove via a bearing, and a movable block is connected to the outer surface of the lead screw via a thread. The two sides of the movable block are fully fitted with the mounting groove, and a fixing frame is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable block.

[0012] Preferably, the support mechanism includes a slider, the bottom end of the fixed frame is fixedly connected to the slider, the upper surface of the base is fixedly provided with a sliding groove, and the slider is slidably connected to the sliding groove.

[0013] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the sock support plate, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod, the connecting plate is movably inserted into the fixing frame, and a connecting bolt is movably connected to the upper surface of the fixing frame, the connecting bolt being movably connected to the connecting plate.

[0014] Preferably, an electric push rod is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the integrated chassis, and the transmission end of the bottom of the electric push rod passes through the integrated chassis and is connected to the pump body.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. This integrated drying and shaping machine for socks achieves efficient and comprehensive drying and auxiliary shaping functions through the setting of a drying mechanism. The design of the No. 1 pump and air guide hood can accurately blow a continuous stream of hot air from the outside to the surface of the socks. The resulting airflow covers a large area of ​​the sock's outer contour, causing the moisture in the outer layer of the sock fibers to evaporate rapidly. The design of the No. 2 pump and porous tube can dry the socks from the inside. The combined use of the No. 1 and No. 2 pumps forms a bidirectional and uniform hot air circulation. This unique airflow pattern ensures that the socks receive even heat in all parts, greatly accelerating the drying process and ensuring that the socks reach the ideal dryness in the shortest time. At the same time, the bidirectional hot air flow can help the steam penetrate better into the sock fibers, helping the socks to be heated and shaped evenly, greatly improving the quality and efficiency of sock processing.

[0018] 2. This integrated shaping and drying machine for socks, through its drive mechanism, greatly enhances the equipment's flexibility and ease of operation. The drive motor adjusts the positions of two sets of movable blocks, allowing two sets of sock support plates to alternately enter the core processing area of ​​the integrated machine for efficient shaping and drying. In actual production, while one set of sock support plates is inside the machine undergoing drying and shaping, workers can easily load and unload socks onto the other set of support plates located outside the machine. This alternating operation mode significantly saves time and avoids the time wasted waiting for idle equipment, as is common in traditional equipment. It also reduces the workload of workers and improves work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a shaping and drying integrated machine for sock processing, including a base 1, an integrated machine box 2 above the base 1, a sock support plate 3 inside the integrated machine box 2, a hollow mesh cylinder 4 on the upper surface of the sock support plate 3, a drying mechanism 5 inside the integrated machine box 2, a driving mechanism 6 above the base 1, and a support mechanism 7 above the integrated machine box 2.

[0026] The drying mechanism 5 includes a first pump body 501, which is located inside the integrated casing 2. A first pipe 502 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first pump body 501, and an air guide hood 503 is installed at the bottom end of the first pipe 502. A second pump body 504 is located below the first pump body 501 inside the integrated casing 2. A second pipe 505 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the second pump body 504, and a perforated pipe 506 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the second pipe 505. The first pump body 501 is activated upon startup. Hot air generated by an external heat source is transported to the air guide hood 503 through pipe 502. The air guide hood 503 then evenly directs the hot air to the outside of the socks placed on the hollow mesh cylinder 4 and sock support plate 3, heating and drying the socks from the outside. At the same time, the second pump body 504 draws in the hot air and transmits it to the porous pipe 506 through pipe 505. The numerous small holes on the porous pipe 506 allow the hot air to blow on the socks from the inside in all directions, achieving simultaneous drying of the socks from both the inside and outside.

[0027] The drive mechanism 6 includes a mounting groove 601, which is fixedly disposed on one side of the upper surface of the base 1. A drive motor 602 is fixedly mounted inside the mounting groove 601 on one side. A lead screw 603 is fixedly connected to the transmission end of the drive motor 602. The end of the lead screw 603 away from the drive motor 602 is connected to the mounting groove 601 via a bearing. A movable block 604 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 603. The two sides of the movable block 604 are fully fitted with the mounting groove 601. A fixing frame 605 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable block 604. The support mechanism 7 includes a slider 701. The bottom end of the fixing frame 605 is fixedly connected to the slider 701. A sliding groove 702 is fixedly disposed on the upper surface of the base 1. The slider 701 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 702. A connecting rod 703 is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 3. A connecting plate 704 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 703. The connecting plate 704 is movably inserted into the fixing frame 605. A connecting bolt 705 is movably connected to the upper surface of the fixing frame 605. The connecting bolt 705 is movably connected to the connecting plate 704. A first electric push rod 706 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the integrated housing 2. The transmission end of the first electric push rod 706 passes through the integrated housing 2 and connects to the first pump body 501. A second electric push rod 707 is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the integrated housing 2. The second pump body 504 is located at the transmission end of the second electric push rod 707. A three-way pipe 708 is connected to the outer side of both the first pump body 501 and the second pump body 504. Movable plates 708 are provided on both sides of the integrated housing 2. 09. When using this device for shaping and drying socks, the worker first places the socks onto the hollow mesh cylinder 4. Then, the drive motor 602 is powered on and started, and its transmission end drives the lead screw 603 to rotate within the mounting groove 601. Since the lead screw 603 and the movable block 604 are connected by a thread, and the two sides of the movable block 604 are tightly fitted with the mounting groove 601, the rotation of the movable block 604 is effectively restricted. Therefore, when the lead screw 603 rotates, the movable block 604 can only move horizontally in a straight line along the mounting groove 601. The fixing frame 605, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable block 604, also moves synchronously. The slider 701, which is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixing frame 605, is in a sliding connection with the groove 702 preset on the upper surface of the base 1. This structure provides stable support and precise guidance for the movement of the fixed frame 605 and its connected sock support plate 3. During the movement of the fixed frame 605 driven by the drive mechanism 6, the slider 701 slides smoothly within the groove 702, effectively ensuring the stability of the sock support plate 3 during movement and preventing it from shifting or shaking. This ensures the socks maintain a precise position during movement, laying a good foundation for subsequent shaping and drying operations. Through appropriate operations, the operator moves the sock support plate 3, equipped with the socks, into the integrated housing 2, ensuring that the hollow mesh cylinder 4 precisely aligns with the air guide hood 503 and the porous tube 506. At this point, the first electric push rod 706 applies force to the first pump body 501, causing the air guide hood 503 to be fitted onto the outside of the hollow mesh cylinder 4.To effectively wrap and protect the socks, the second electric push rod 707 pushes the second pump body 504, causing the perforated tube 506 to be inserted into the hollow mesh cylinder 4. Then, the worker connects the other two pipes of the three-way pipe 708 to the steam equipment and drying equipment (heat source can be provided by electric heating elements, gas heating devices, etc., not shown in detail in the diagram) for shaping and drying. After the socks have completed the shaping and drying process, the worker operates the first electric push rod 706 and the second electric push rod 707 to separate the air guide hood 503 from the perforated tube 506 and the hollow mesh cylinder 4. Then, by pulling... The movable plate 709 exposes the sock support plate 3. Under the continuous operation of the drive motor 602, the dried socks are moved out of the integrated casing 2. Simultaneously, another sock support plate 3, equipped with socks, moves into the integrated casing 2, achieving alternating processing of socks and effectively improving production efficiency. When the sock support plate 3 needs to be disassembled for cleaning or replacement, the operator only needs to unscrew the connecting bolt 705 to separate the connecting plate 704 from the fixing frame 605, allowing for convenient and efficient maintenance or replacement of the sock support plate 3. This fully demonstrates the convenience and practicality of the device in actual operation.

[0028] Working Principle: When using this device for shaping and drying socks, the worker first places the socks onto the hollow mesh cylinder 4. Then, the drive motor 602 is energized and started, its transmission end driving the lead screw 603 to rotate within the mounting groove 601. Since the lead screw 603 and the movable block 604 are connected by a thread, and the two sides of the movable block 604 are tightly fitted with the mounting groove 601, effectively restricting the rotation of the movable block 604, when the lead screw 603 rotates, the movable block 604 can only move horizontally along the mounting groove 601. The fixing frame 605, fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable block 604, also moves synchronously. The slider 701, fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixing frame 605, slides in a groove 702 pre-set on the upper surface of the base 1. In this state, this structure provides stable support and precise guidance for the movement of the fixed frame 605 and its connected sock support plate 3. During the movement of the fixed frame 605 driven by the drive mechanism 6, the slider 701 slides smoothly within the groove 702, effectively ensuring the stability of the sock support plate 3 during movement and preventing it from shifting or shaking. This ensures the socks maintain a precise position during movement, laying a good foundation for subsequent shaping and drying operations. Through appropriate operations, the operator moves the sock support plate 3, equipped with socks, into the integrated housing 2, ensuring that the hollow mesh cylinder 4 precisely aligns with the air guide hood 503 and the porous tube 506. At this time, the first electric push rod 706 applies force to the first pump body 501, causing the air guide hood 503 to be fitted onto the hollow mesh cylinder. The outer side of the hollow mesh cylinder 4 effectively wraps and protects the socks. Simultaneously, the second electric push rod 707 pushes the second pump body 504, causing the perforated tube 506 to insert into the hollow mesh cylinder 4. Then, the workers connect the other two pipes of the three-way pipe 708 to the steam equipment and drying equipment (heat source can be provided by electric heating elements, gas heating devices, etc., not shown in detail in the diagram). The first pump body 501 starts working, transporting hot air generated by the external heat source through the first pipe 502 to the air guide hood 503. The air guide hood 503 then evenly guides the hot air to the hollow mesh cylinder 4 and the outer side of the socks placed on the sock support plate 3, heating and drying the socks from the outside. At the same time, the second pump body 504 draws in hot air and transmits it through the second pipe 505 to the perforated tube 506. The numerous small holes densely distributed on the porous tube 506 allow hot air to blow onto the socks from all directions inside, achieving simultaneous drying from both the inside and outside. After the socks have completed the shaping and drying process, the operator uses electric push rods 706 and 707 to separate the air guide hood 503 from the porous tube 506 and the hollow mesh cylinder 4. Then, by pulling the movable plate 709, the sock support plate 3 is exposed. Under the continuous operation of the drive motor 602, the dried socks are moved out of the integrated machine housing 2. At the same time, another sock support plate 3 equipped with socks moves into the integrated machine housing 2, achieving alternating processing of socks and effectively improving production efficiency. When it is necessary to disassemble, clean, or replace the sock support plate 3, the operator only needs to unscrew the connecting bolt 705.This allows the connecting plate 704 to be separated from the fixing frame 605, facilitating convenient and efficient maintenance or replacement of the sock support plate 3, fully demonstrating the convenience and practicality of the device in actual operation.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model do not depart from the essence and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
