AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing automatic sock-turning devices are insufficient to meet the high-efficiency requirements of sock knitting machines, with low turning efficiency and inadequate automation.

Method used

The device employs a rotary automatic sock-turning mechanism, which includes a vertical plate, sock-turning arrows, sock-turning rubber roller assembly, and a rotating bottom ring. Through the circumferential rotation of multiple sock-turning arrows and the synchronous rubber roller drive, the socks can be turned quickly. It is also equipped with automatic feeding, sock removal, turning and finishing, and limiting components, simplifying the mechanical structure to reduce costs.

Benefits of technology

It significantly improves the efficiency of sock turning, shortens the interval between turning two adjacent socks to less than 3 seconds, improves the degree of automation and production efficiency, and reduces the manufacturing cost of the device.

Abstract

This invention provides a rotary automatic sock-turning device, belonging to the field of textile technology. It solves the problem of insufficient efficiency in the sock-turning process of existing automatic sock-turning machines. This rotary automatic sock-turning device includes a vertical plate, sock-turning arrows, and a rotating base ring. A sock-turning rubber roller assembly is installed on the vertical plate. The rotating base ring is connected to the vertical plate by a rotary drive structure that allows the rotating base ring to rotate circumferentially around a set horizontal line. Multiple sock-turning arrows are arranged in an arc shape, evenly around the set horizontal line. One end of each arrow is used for sock placement, and the other end is fixedly connected to the rotating base ring. When the rotating base ring rotates, the sock-turning arrows pass between two sock-turning rubber rollers. This rotary automatic sock-turning device allows for simultaneous feeding or sock-turning and sock-removal, thereby shortening the interval between the start of sock-turning operations for adjacent socks and improving the sock-turning efficiency of the automatic sock-turning device.
