Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of five-toed sock manufacturing technology, and more specifically to an apparatus for manufacturing five-toed socks. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the hosiery industry, closed-toe socks and open-toe socks have been designed. Like regular socks, five-toe socks need to go through production steps such as testing and shaping.

[0003] In existing technologies, before the shaping and testing of five-toed socks, it is often necessary to inspect the socks for holes to improve the pass rate of the socks entering the shaping machine and prevent the shaping machine from shaping socks that already have holes, thus wasting resources. However, due to the complexity of the structure of five-toed socks, it is inconvenient to stretch the toe part of the five-toed socks, which makes it difficult to inspect the holes in the toe part of the five-toed socks, resulting in the hole inspection effect of five-toed socks not meeting expectations. Therefore, a device for the production of five-toed socks is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a device for producing five-toed socks, which solves the problem of inconvenience in stretching the toe portion of five-toed socks.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] This invention includes a first supporting body and a plurality of second supporting bodies;

[0009] The second support body is cylindrical, and the diameter of the second support body is larger than the diameter of the toe.

[0010] Multiple second expansion bodies are slidably connected to the interior of the first expansion body via a pusher.

[0011] Furthermore, a limiting member is installed at the end of the second support body away from the first support body, and the diameter of the end of the limiting member away from the second support body is smaller than the diameter of the sock toe.

[0012] Furthermore, a lead screw is installed inside the first supporting body, and the pusher is threaded onto the lead screw. The lead screw is rotatably connected to the first supporting body, and the pusher is slidably connected to the first supporting body through a groove. The pusher moves along the vertical direction of the first supporting body via the lead screw.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a base, on which the first supporting body is mounted. Sliding members are mounted on both sides of the base, and both sliding members are slidably connected to the base through limiting grooves. Clamping members are mounted on the ends of the sliding members located outside the first supporting body. A bidirectional threaded rod is mounted on the base, and the sliding members are threaded onto the bidirectional threaded rod. The two sliding members are symmetrically arranged about the vertical line of the first supporting body.

[0014] Furthermore, a rack is installed on one of the sliding members near the first supporting body, and a cylindrical gear is sleeved on the lead screw. The rack and cylindrical gear are in two states:

[0015] Before the clamping component clamps the sock, the rack and the cylindrical gear do not contact each other;

[0016] After the clamping device grips the sock, the rack and pinion mesh with the cylindrical gear.

[0017] Furthermore, the clamping member is rotatably connected to the sliding member via a rotating shaft, and the clamping member is inclined.

[0018] Furthermore, a torsion spring is fitted onto the outer surface of the rotating shaft.

[0019] Furthermore, a sponge block is installed at one end of the clamping member near the first support body.

[0020] Furthermore, the bidirectional threaded rod is driven by a drive motor.

[0021] Furthermore, the limiting member is shaped like a frustum.

[0022] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0023] This invention provides an apparatus for producing five-toed socks. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0024] 1. By setting the second stretcher, the diameter of the second stretcher is larger than the diameter of the toe in the normal state. When the second stretcher moves upward, it stretches the corresponding toe. The stretched toe can be easily observed. At the same time, setting the second stretcher in the form of a cylinder can achieve uniform force on the toe, reduce the probability of sock damage, and make it easy to show the hole on the second stretcher when there is a hole on the toe.

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] This application provides an apparatus for producing five-toed socks, which solves the problem that the toe portion of five-toed socks is difficult to stretch, thus hindering the detection of holes in the toe portion of the socks, and makes the detection of holes in the toe portion of the socks more convenient.

[0034] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0035] like Figures 1-4As shown, a device for producing five-toed socks is used to detect holes in socks. The socks include a sock body 30 and a plurality of sock toes 301. The end of the sock toe 301 away from the sock body 30 is open. The socks being detected here are five-toed socks with openings. The device for production includes a first stretching body 10 and a plurality of second stretching bodies 13.

[0036] The distribution of the second stretching body 13 on the first stretching body 10 corresponds one-to-one with the toe 301;

[0037] The second support body 13 is cylindrical, and the diameter of the second support body 13 is larger than the diameter of the toe 301;

[0038] Multiple second supporting bodies 13 are slidably connected to the interior of the first supporting body 10 via pushers 12;

[0039] In the initial state, such as Figure 1 As shown, at this time, the second supporting body 13 is located inside the first supporting body 10.

[0040] By setting the second stretching body 13, the diameter of the second stretching body 13 is larger than the diameter of the toe 301 in its normal state. When the second stretching body 13 moves upward, it stretches the corresponding toe 301. It should be noted that the diameter of the second stretching body 13 is smaller than the maximum stretching diameter of the toe 301. The stretched toe 301 is easier to observe. At the same time, setting the second stretching body 13 in the form of a cylinder enables the toe 301 to be evenly stressed, reducing the probability of sock damage. It also makes it easier to display holes in the toe 301 on the second stretching body 13. The setting of the pusher 12 enables the simultaneous stretching of multiple toes 301, improving the detection efficiency of the toe 301.

[0041] Furthermore, a limiting member 14 is installed at the end of the second supporting body 13 that is away from the first supporting body 10;

[0042] The limiting member 14 is arranged in the shape of a frustum;

[0043] The diameter of the end of the limiting member 14 away from the second spreading body 13 is smaller than the diameter of the toe 301;

[0044] In the initial state, such as Figure 1 As shown, the smaller diameter end of the limiting member 14 is located on the outside of the first spreading body 10, and the toe 301 is fitted onto the corresponding limiting member 14.

[0045] By setting the limiting member 14, when the sock is initially put on the first stretching body 10, the limiting member 14 can limit the corresponding toe 301, thereby facilitating the subsequent stretching operation of the second stretching body 13 on the toe 301. Moreover, the diameter of the end of the limiting member 14 away from the second stretching body 13 is smaller than the diameter of the toe 301, reducing the resistance of the limiting member 14 on the toe 301 when the sock is put on the limiting member 14, and facilitating the limiting of the toe 301 by the limiting member 14.

[0046] Furthermore, a lead screw 11 is installed inside the first support body 10, and the pusher 12 is threaded onto the lead screw 11;

[0047] The lead screw 11 is rotatably connected to the first support body 10;

[0048] The pusher 12 is slidably connected to the first support body 10 via a sliding groove, and the pusher 12 moves along the vertical direction of the first support body 10 via a lead screw 11.

[0049] By rotating the lead screw 11, the pusher 12 is controlled to move along the vertical direction of the first spreading body 10, thereby realizing the movement of the second spreading body 13 and completing the spreading of the second spreading body 13 on the toe 301.

[0050] Furthermore, the production apparatus also includes a base 20, on which the first support body 10 is mounted;

[0051] Sliding members 22 are installed on both sides of the base 20, and both sliding members 22 are slidably connected to the base 20 through limiting grooves;

[0052] The end of the sliding member 22 located outside the first supporting body 10 is equipped with a clamping member 24;

[0053] A bidirectional threaded rod 211 is installed on the base 20, and the sliding member 22 is threadedly sleeved on the bidirectional threaded rod 211.

[0054] The two sliding members 22 are symmetrically arranged about the vertical line of the first supporting body 10;

[0055] The bidirectional threaded rod 211 is driven by a drive motor 21.

[0056] By using the clamping member 24 to hold the sock body 30, after the sock is put on the first stretching body 10 and before the second stretching body 13 stretches the toe 301, the clamping member 24 holds the sock body 30, thereby preventing the second stretching body 13 from pushing the toe 301 upward, thus preventing the sock from moving when the toe 301 is stretched open, which would make it difficult for the toe 301 to be stretched open.

[0057] Furthermore, a rack 23 is installed on one of the sliding members 22 near the first supporting body 10, and a cylindrical gear 111 is sleeved on the lead screw 11. The rack 23 and the cylindrical gear 111 are in two states, respectively as follows: Figures 2-3 As shown;

[0058] exist Figure 2 In the state where the clamping member 24 clamps the socks, the rack 23 and the cylindrical gear 111 are not in contact;

[0059] exist Figure 3 In the state where the clamping member 24 clamps the socks, the rack 23 meshes with the cylindrical gear 111.

[0060] By setting the rack 23 and the cylindrical gear 111 in two states, the drive motor 21 provides driving force to the bidirectional threaded rod 211, controlling the clamping member 24 to move towards each other, thereby realizing the clamping member 24 clamping the socks fitted on the first spreading body 10. Since the rack 23 and the cylindrical gear 111 are not in contact at this time, the screw 11 does not rotate before the clamping member 24 clamps the socks, and the second spreading body 13 has not yet spread the toe 301.

[0061] After the clamping member 24 clamps the sock fitted on the first spreading body 10, the rack 23 meshes with the cylindrical gear 111. The further movement of the rack 23 drives the rotation of the lead screw 11, thereby controlling the pusher 12 to drive the second spreading body 13 to spread the sock toe 301, completing the hole detection of the sock toe 301. This solves the problem in the prior art that during the sock spreading process, the sock is pushed upwards, causing it to run upwards and making it difficult to spread the sock.

[0062] Furthermore, the clamping member 24 is rotatably connected to the sliding member 22 via a rotating shaft 241;

[0063] The clamping member 24 is inclined;

[0064] A torsion spring 242 is sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 241. Under the action of the torsion spring 242, the clamping member 24 is initially in the following state: Figure 1 As shown.

[0065] By setting the torsion spring 242, the clamping force of the clamping member 24 on the sock is achieved when the high end of the clamping member 24 clamps the sock.

[0066] Furthermore, a sponge block 25 is installed at one end of the clamping member 24 near the first supporting body 10.

[0067] By setting the sponge block 25, after the sock is clamped at the high end of the clamping member 24, the distance that the clamping member 24 can continue to move towards the first spreading body 10 can be further increased, which makes it easier to control the two states of the rack 23 and the cylindrical gear 111.

[0068] When the toe 301 of the sock is stretched open using the production equipment to complete the hole detection, in the initial state, the sock is put on the first stretching body 10. At this time, the second stretching body 13 is located inside the first stretching body 10, and the limiting member 14 is located on the outside of the first stretching body 10. When putting on the sock, the toe 301 on the sock is aligned with the limiting member 14. At this time, the limiting member 14 realizes the limiting of the toe 301.

[0069] After the socks are put on, the drive motor 21 controls the bidirectional threaded rod 211 to rotate, controlling the two clamping members 24 to move towards the first spreading body 10, until the high end of the inclined clamping member 24 clamps the sock body 30. At this time, the state of the clamping member 24 changes from... Figure 1 Convert to Figure 2 In the state, Figure 1 In this state, there is a certain distance between the clamping member 24 and the first spreading body 10, so that the sock can be put on the first spreading body 10 at the beginning, and the clamping member 24 can be prevented from obstructing the sock putting process.

[0070] After the clamping member 24 clamps the sock at its high end, the clamping member 24, through the action of the torsion spring 242, increases the clamping force of the clamping member 24 on the sock body 30. Due to the inclined arrangement of the clamping member 24 and the placement of the sponge block 25, the clamping member 24 can continue to move towards the first spreading body 10, achieving the meshing of the rack 23 and the cylindrical gear 111. This allows the lead screw 11 to drive the pushing member 12 upwards. As the pushing member 12 moves upwards, it drives the second spreading body 13 to push the toe 301, facilitating the detection of the toe 301. At this point, the entire device changes state from... Figure 2 Convert to Figure 3 .

[0071] It should be noted that, under normal conditions, the lead screw 11 can maintain its stability through a return spring, gear, or other conventional self-locking means.

[0072] For example, see below:

[0073] When setting the first stretching body 10, the length of the first stretching body 10 is set to be longer than the length of a regular sock. For example, the length of the first stretching body 10 is set to M1, and the length of the second stretching body 13 is set to M2, which is used to fit socks with a body length 30 shorter than M1 and a toe length 301 shorter than M2.

[0074] For example: Suppose that the length of the sock body 30 to be tested is 250mm, and the length of the toe 301 is 40mm;

[0075] The length of the first support body 10 is set to M1 = 300mm;

[0076] Set the length of the second support body 13 to M2 = 1 / 6M1 = 50mm;

[0077] like Figures 1-4 As shown, from the moment the rack 23 begins to contact the cylindrical gear 111 until the toe 301 is opened by the second opening body 13, the second opening body 13 needs to move upward a distance M3 of at least 40mm, which is the length of the toe 301, in order to achieve the complete opening of the toe 301.

[0078] After the high end of the clamping member 24 contacts the sock body 30 to clamp the sock, the maximum distance Lmax that the rack 23 can move is the horizontal distance from the low end of the inclined clamping member 24 to the center of the rotating shaft 241 and the distance that the sponge block 25 can compress, such as... Figure 4 The horizontal distance from the lower end of the clamping member 24 to the center of the rotating shaft 241 is L1;

[0079] The compressible distance of the sponge block 25 is set to 5 / 6 of the thickness of the sponge block 25. Here, the thickness of the sponge block 25 is set to 12mm, so the compressible distance L2 of the sponge block 25 is 10mm.

[0080] Assuming the length of clamping member 24 is 150mm, the rotating shaft 241 is located at the center of clamping member 24, and the tilt angle of clamping member 24 is 30°, then L1 = 120mm can be obtained;

[0081] We can further obtain Lmax = L1 + L2 = 10 + 120 = 130 mm;

[0082] The number of revolutions of cylindrical gear 111 is C = Lmax / 3.14d, where d is the diameter of cylindrical gear 111;

[0083] The distance L3 that the pusher 12 drives the second support body 13 to move is the pitch D of the lead screw 11 and the number of rotations C of the cylindrical gear 111, i.e., D·C;

[0084] Assuming the diameter of cylindrical gear 111 is 10mm, C = Lmax / 3.14d is approximately 5 revolutions;

[0085] We can obtain D = M3 / C = 40 / 5. Therefore, setting the pitch D of the lead screw 11 to be 8mm or more is sufficient to allow the second support body 13 to move upward to achieve the opening of the toe 301.

[0086] In summary, compared with existing technologies, it has the following beneficial effects:

[0087] 1. By setting the second stretching body, the diameter of the second stretching body is larger than the diameter of the sock toe in its normal state. When the second stretching body moves upward, it stretches the corresponding sock toe. It should be noted that the diameter of the second stretching body is smaller than the maximum stretching diameter of the sock toe. The stretched sock toe can be easily observed. At the same time, setting the second stretching body in the shape of a cylinder can achieve uniform force on the sock toe, reduce the probability of sock damage, and make it easier to display holes on the second stretching body when there are holes on the sock toe. The setting of the pushing component can realize the synchronous stretching of multiple sock toes, improving the detection efficiency of sock toes.

[0088] 2. By setting the limiting component, when the sock is initially put on the first stretching body, the limiting component can limit the corresponding toe, thereby facilitating the subsequent stretching operation of the second stretching body on the toe. In addition, the diameter of the end of the limiting component away from the second stretching body is smaller than the diameter of the toe, reducing the resistance of the limiting component on the toe when the sock is put on the limiting component, and facilitating the limiting of the toe by the limiting component.

[0089] 3. By using the clamping device, the sock body is clamped, so that after the sock is put on the first stretching body and before the second stretching body stretches the toe, the sock body is clamped by the clamping device, thereby preventing the second stretching body from pushing the toe upward, thus solving the problem of the sock moving and making it difficult to stretch the toe when it is stretched.

[0090] 4. By tilting the clamping member and adding a sponge block, the distance the clamping member can move towards the first expanding body is increased after clamping the sock at its high end. This facilitates control of both rack and pinion states. In the initial state, there is a certain distance between the clamping member and the first expanding body, which makes it easier to put the sock on the first expanding body initially. This prevents the clamping member from obstructing the sock during the putting-on process and ensures that the sock is clamped before it expands, preventing the sock from moving during the expansion process and causing poor expansion effect.
