Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of sock manufacturing, in particular to a conveying method, a conveying system, a device and a medium for socks. BACKGROUND

[0002] Sock machines are used to prepare socks, and a large number of sock machines need to be placed in industrial production. Due to the space limitation of the production site, only a relatively small operation space is left in the production site. After the sock machine prepares the socks, the socks are directly conveyed to the sock collecting box beside the sock machine. The sock collecting box for collecting socks occupies the production site which is originally small in space. This not only makes the operation space small, but also makes it inconvenient to take the socks because all the socks are not placed in a centralized manner, and the operation personnel need to manually arrange and transport the socks.

[0003] The existing Chinese invention patent with the patent number CN114084679A discloses a long-distance intelligent conveying system for socks. The invention patent includes a conveying pipe, a sock falling cylinder, a sensor and a suction assembly. One end of the conveying pipe is located at the upper part of the sock machine and the conveying pipe is in communication with the output end of the sock machine. The other end of the conveying pipe is fixedly connected with the sock falling cylinder and both are in communication. The sock falling cylinder is located directly above the sock collecting box. The suction assembly is arranged at the sock falling cylinder. The sensor is close to the sock machine. When the sensor senses that there are socks in the conveying pipe, the suction assembly can be opened. Through the suction assembly, the socks in the conveying pipe can be stably input into the sock falling cylinder.

[0004] The invention patent stably completes the process of conveying socks from the sock machine to the sock collecting box. However, in the actual sock production process, multiple sock machines simultaneously produce socks. The relationship between the sock machine and the sock collecting box is not one-to-one, but many-to-many. Therefore, it is urgent to have a control method to effectively control the conveying system, so as to ensure the conveying efficiency of the socks produced by multiple sock machines. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to realize the efficient conveying of socks produced by multiple sock machines to the sock collecting box, the present application provides a conveying method, a conveying system, a device and a medium for socks.

[0006] In the first aspect, the present application provides a conveying method for socks. The method includes the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: determining the stacking information, which is used to describe the sock stacking state of each temporary sock placing table;

[0008] Step 2: generating first control information to open the first electromagnetic valve arranged in the upper sock channel corresponding to any temporary sock placing table;

[0009] Step 3: generating second control information to open the second electromagnetic valve arranged in the lower sock channel corresponding to the sock collecting box;

[0010] Step 4: determining the opening time of the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve according to the stacking information;

[0011] Step 5: closing the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve which are currently opened when the opening time ends;

[0012] Step 6: opening the first electromagnetic valve set in the hosiery channel corresponding to the temporary hosiery table and the second electromagnetic valve set in the hosiery channel corresponding to the hosiery collecting box according to the stacking information, and repeating steps 2-5 to transport the hosiery on the plurality of temporary hosiery tables.

[0013] By adopting the above technical scheme, the opening and closing of a plurality of hosiery channels is controlled by controlling the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve, so that the hosiery produced by a plurality of hosiery machines is transported through the path of temporary hosiery table-hosiery channel-main conveying pipe-hosiery channel-hosiery collecting box, which is different from the one-to-one hosiery transportation method. The plurality of hosiery channels saves the construction cost of the channels, and the plurality of hosiery channels rotate to transport the hosiery, which effectively improves the transportation efficiency of the hosiery produced by a plurality of hosiery machines.

[0014] Optionally, the stacking information includes first stacking information and second stacking information, the first stacking information is used to describe the hosiery stacking state of the temporary hosiery table when the first electromagnetic valve set in the hosiery channel corresponding to the temporary hosiery table is opened, and the second stacking information is used to describe the hosiery stacking state of the temporary hosiery table when the first electromagnetic valve set in the hosiery channel corresponding to the temporary hosiery table is closed.

[0015] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the first electromagnetic valve set in the hosiery channel corresponding to the temporary hosiery table is opened, the stacking state of the temporary hosiery table is affected by the conveying efficiency of the fan and the production efficiency of the hosiery machine, and when the first electromagnetic valve set in the hosiery channel corresponding to the temporary hosiery table is closed, the stacking state of the temporary hosiery table is only affected by the production efficiency of the hosiery machine. The first stacking information and the second stacking information are used to describe two different stacking states.

[0016] Optionally, the first stacking information determination process is included in step 1, and the first stacking information determination process specifically includes:

[0017] The hosiery machine running parameters of the hosiery machine are obtained, the unit time hosiery production amount α of the hosiery machine is calculated according to the hosiery machine running parameters, the fan running parameters of the fan are obtained, the fan is used to provide conveying power for hosiery transportation, and the unit time hosiery conveying amount β of the fan is calculated according to the fan running parameters;

[0018] acquiring an initial sock setting amount A on the temporary sock setting table;

[0019] calculating the first stacking information D1=A+(α-β)t according to the unit time sock production amount α, the unit time sock feeding amount β and the initial sock setting amount A.

[0020] By adopting the technical scheme, the stacking state when the first electromagnetic valve arranged in the corresponding sock feeding channel of the temporary sock setting table is opened is described.

[0026] calculating the full load time of each temporary sock setting table according to the threshold stacking amount of each temporary sock setting table and the stacking information; and taking the minimum full load time as the opening time.

[0027] By adopting the technical scheme, when the socks in a temporary sock setting table are being transported, the socks in other temporary sock setting tables are in a continuous stacking state. By calculating the full load time of other temporary sock setting tables and taking the minimum full load time as the opening time of the temporary sock setting table being currently transported, the socks in other temporary sock setting tables are prevented from being stacked too full, so that the hosiery machine cannot continue to generate, resulting in a decline in overall production efficiency.

[0028] In a second aspect of the present application, a conveying system for socks is provided, which is arranged between a plurality of temporary sock placement tables and a plurality of sock collecting boxes, the temporary sock placement tables are connected to sock machines, and the temporary sock placement tables are used for temporarily storing socks produced by the sock machines.

The first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve are coupled to the intelligent device to be controlled by the intelligent device to open and close. The suction port of the blower communicates with one end of the total conveying pipe to provide conveying power, so that the socks can be conveyed from the temporary sock placement tables to the sock collecting boxes in sequence through the sock conveying pipes, the total conveying pipe, and the sock conveying pipes.

[0029] Optionally, a weight sensor is arranged on each of the temporary sock placement tables, the weight sensor is used to detect weight information of the socks temporarily stored on the temporary sock placement table, and the weight sensor and the intelligent device are in communication connection to send the weight information to the intelligent device.

[0030] Optionally, the blower and the intelligent device are in communication connection, so that the intelligent device can obtain the running parameters of the blower in real time, and the intelligent device can control the blower based on the established communication connection.

[0031] In a third aspect of the present application, an intelligent device is provided.

[0032] The intelligent device comprises a processor, a memory, a user interface, and a network interface.

[0033] In a fourth aspect of the present application, a computer readable storage medium is provided.

[0034] The computer readable storage medium stores instructions, and when the instructions are executed, a conveying method for socks is executed.

[0046] Referring to Figure 1 The present application provides a conveying system for socks, which is arranged between a plurality of temporary sock placing tables 201 and a plurality of sock collecting boxes 202, the temporary sock placing tables 201 are connected to sock machines 203, and the temporary sock placing tables 201 are used for temporarily storing socks produced by the sock machines 203. The system comprises a blower 204, a general conveying pipe 205, a plurality of sock conveying pipes 206, a plurality of sock conveying pipes 207 and an intelligent device 208. One end of each of the sock conveying pipes 206 is located above the plurality of temporary sock placing tables 201, the other end of each of the sock conveying pipes 206 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the side wall of the general conveying pipe 205, one end of each of the sock conveying pipes 207 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the side wall of the general conveying pipe 205, and the other end of each of the sock conveying pipes 207 is located above the plurality of sock collecting boxes 202. A first electromagnetic valve 209 is arranged in each of the sock conveying pipes 206, and a second electromagnetic valve 210 is arranged in each of the sock conveying pipes 207. The first electromagnetic valves 209 and the second electromagnetic valves 210 are coupled to the intelligent device 208 to be controlled by the intelligent device 208 to open and close. The suction port of the blower 204 communicates with one end of the general conveying pipe 205 to provide conveying power, so that the socks can be conveyed from the temporary sock placing tables 201 to the sock collecting boxes 202 in sequence through the sock conveying pipes 206, the general conveying pipe 205 and the sock conveying pipes 207.

[0047] Specifically, multiple hosiery machines 203 continuously produce socks, and the socks are transported from the sock outlets of the hosiery machines 203 to the corresponding temporary sock placement tables 201 by the conveying device, one hosiery machine 203 corresponding to one temporary sock placement table 201. The temporary sock placement table 201 is provided with a weight sensor 211, which continuously detects the weight information of the socks on the temporary sock placement table 201. The weight sensor 211 and the intelligent device 208 are in communication connection, and the weight information detected by the weight sensor 211 can be sent to the intelligent device 208 in real time. The communication connection between the weight sensor 211 and the intelligent device 208 can be any one of Bluetooth transmission, WIFI transmission or wired transmission.

[0048] The upper part of each temporary sock placement table 201 is provided with a corresponding sock feeding channel, one end of the sock feeding channel is close to the upper part of the temporary sock placement table 201, and the other end of the sock feeding channel is fixedly connected and communicated with the side wall of the total conveying pipe 205. Each sock feeding channel is provided with a first electromagnetic valve 209, and each first electromagnetic valve 209 is coupled with the intelligent device 208 and controlled by the intelligent device 208 to open and close. When the first electromagnetic valve 209 is opened, the corresponding sock feeding channel is conducted to allow the socks to pass through; when the first electromagnetic valve 209 is closed, the sock feeding channel is closed and the socks are not allowed to pass through.

[0049] The total conveying pipe 205 is arranged between the hosiery machine 203 and the sock collecting box 202, one end of the total conveying pipe 205 close to the sock collecting box 202 is communicated with the suction port of the fan 204. When the fan 204 is started, the socks in the total conveying pipe 205 are conveyed from the end close to the temporary sock placement table 201 to the end close to the sock collecting box 202 under the action of the fan 204. The fan 204 and the intelligent device 208 are also in communication connection, and the intelligent device 208 can obtain the running parameters of the fan 204 in real time through the established communication connection and control the fan 204.

[0050] One end of the plurality of sock feeding channels is arranged above the plurality of sock collecting boxes 202, one sock collecting box 202 corresponding to one sock feeding channel. The other end of the sock feeding channel is fixedly connected and communicated with the side wall of the total conveying pipe 205. Each sock feeding channel is provided with a second electromagnetic valve 210, and each second electromagnetic valve 210 is coupled with the intelligent device 208 and controlled by the intelligent device 208 to open and close. When the second electromagnetic valve 210 is opened, the corresponding sock feeding channel is conducted to allow the socks to pass through; when the second electromagnetic valve 210 is closed, the sock feeding channel is closed and the socks are not allowed to pass through.

[0051] For the hosiery machine 203, when it is in normal working state, the produced hosiery is firstly stacked on the temporary hosiery table 201, when the first electromagnetic valve 209 in the upper hosiery channel above the temporary hosiery table 201 is opened, the hosiery is sucked from the temporary hosiery table 201 into the total conveying pipe 205 by the fan 204, and is conveyed from the side of the total conveying pipe 205 close to the temporary hosiery table 201 to the side of the total conveying pipe 205 close to the hosiery collecting box 202, when the second electromagnetic valve 210 in the lower hosiery channel is opened, the hosiery falls into the hosiery collecting box 202 through the lower hosiery channel, and the conveying of the hosiery is completed.

[0052] With reference to Figure 2 The application also provides a hosiery conveying method for controlling the above system to effectively convey the hosiery produced by the plurality of hosiery machines 203 into the hosiery collecting box 202, which comprises the following steps:

[0053] S1: determining stacking information.

[0054] Specifically, the stacking information is used to describe the stacking state of the hosiery on the temporary hosiery table 201, and the stacking information specifically comprises first stacking information and second stacking information, the first stacking information is used to describe the stacking state of the hosiery on the temporary hosiery table 201 when the first electromagnetic valve 209 arranged in the upper hosiery channel corresponding to the temporary hosiery table 201 is opened, and the second stacking information is used to describe the stacking state of the hosiery on the temporary hosiery table 201 when the first electromagnetic valve 209 arranged in the upper hosiery channel corresponding to the temporary hosiery table 201 is closed.

[0055] In a feasible embodiment of the application, for the first stacking information, the intelligent device 208 firstly acquires the hosiery machine 203 running parameter of the hosiery machine 203 through the communication connection established between the intelligent device 208 and the hosiery machine 203, calculates the unit time hosiery production amount a of the hosiery machine 203 according to the hosiery machine 203 running parameter, acquires the fan 204 running parameter of the fan 204 through the communication connection established between the intelligent device 208 and the fan 204, calculates the unit time hosiery conveying amount b of the fan 204 according to the fan 204 running parameter, then acquires the initial hosiery stacking amount A on the temporary hosiery table 201 through the weight sensor 211 arranged on the temporary hosiery table 201, and finally calculates the first stacking information D1=A+(a-b)t according to the unit time hosiery production amount a, the unit time hosiery conveying amount b and the initial hosiery stacking amount A. Of course, in other embodiments of the application, the stacking state of the hosiery on the temporary hosiery table 201 can not be described by the linear function in the above embodiment, but according to the acquired three parameters of the unit time hosiery production amount, the unit time hosiery conveying amount and the initial hosiery stacking amount, the stacking state can be described, and the specific first stacking information can be adaptively set by the person skilled in the art.

[0056] For the second stack information, which is different from the first stack information, the second stack information is used to describe the sock stacking state of the temporary sock placement platform 201 when the first electromagnetic valve 209 arranged in the upper sock channel corresponding to the temporary sock placement platform 201 is closed. At this time, the socks on the temporary sock placement platform 201 are not affected by the fan 204 and are in a continuous stacking state. Therefore, after obtaining the unit time sock production amount a of the temporary sock placement platform 201 and the initial sock placement amount A, in an available embodiment of the application, the second stack information is D2=A+at.

[0057] It should be noted that the fan 204 operating parameters of the fan 204 and the hosiery machine 203 operating parameters of the hosiery machine 203 can be adjusted under the control of the intelligent device 208. Therefore, for each temporary sock placement platform 201, the stack information changes with the fan 204 operating parameters and the hosiery machine 203 operating parameters. The user can adjust the fan 204 operating parameters of the fan 204 and the hosiery machine 203 operating parameters of the hosiery machine 203 to adjust the overall conveying speed of the conveying system.

[0058] S2: generating first control information to open the first electromagnetic valve 209 arranged in the upper sock channel corresponding to any temporary sock placement platform 201.

[0059] Specifically, the upper sock channel corresponding to any temporary sock placement platform 201 is selected, and the first control information is generated to control the first electromagnetic valve 209 in the upper sock channel to be opened, so that the upper sock channel is conducted. When the upper sock channel is conducted, the socks are sucked into the total conveying pipe 205 from the upper sock channel under the action of the fan 204.

[0060] S3: generating second control information to open the second electromagnetic valve 210 arranged in the lower sock channel corresponding to the sock collecting box 202.

[0061] Specifically, while the first electromagnetic valve 209 is opened, the second control information is generated to control the second electromagnetic valve 210 in the lower sock channel to start, so that the lower sock channel is conducted. When the lower sock channel is conducted, the socks are sucked into the lower sock channel from the total conveying pipe 205 under the action of the fan 204, and finally fall into the sock collecting box 202 corresponding to the lower sock channel.

[0062] In another available embodiment of the application, the opened second electromagnetic valve 210 is determined according to the loading state of each sock collecting box 202. Specifically, the second electromagnetic valve 210 arranged above the sock collecting box 202 with a smaller loading amount is preferentially opened.

[0063] S4: determining the opening time of the first electromagnetic valve 209 and the second electromagnetic valve 210 according to the stack information.

[0064] Specifically, the threshold stacking amount of each temporary sock placing table 201 is obtained; the full load time of each temporary sock placing table 201 is calculated according to the threshold stacking amount and the stacking information of each temporary sock placing table 201; and the minimum full load time is taken as the opening time of the currently opened first electromagnetic valve 209 and second electromagnetic valve 210.

[0065] For all temporary sock placing tables 201, when the socks stacked on the temporary sock placing table 201 corresponding to the sock feeding channel opened by the currently opened first electromagnetic valve 209 are being transported, the socks stacked on other temporary sock placing tables 201 continue to accumulate, and the full load time of the other temporary sock placing tables 201 is determined by the threshold stacking amount of each temporary sock placing table 201. The full load time is taken as the opening time of the currently opened first electromagnetic valve 209 and second electromagnetic valve 210 to prevent the other temporary sock placing tables 201 from being stacked to full, thereby preventing the production efficiency of the hosiery machine 203 from being damaged.

[0066] It should be noted that in actual production, the hosiery machines 203 are preferably started in a sequence to prevent the situation that the temporary sock placing tables 201 connected to multiple hosiery machines 203 are simultaneously full.

[0067] S5: When the opening time ends, the currently opened first electromagnetic valve 209 and second electromagnetic valve 210 are closed.

[0068] S6: According to the stacking information, the first electromagnetic valve 209 arranged in the sock feeding channel of another temporary sock placing table 201 and the second electromagnetic valve 210 arranged in the sock feeding channel of another sock collecting box 202 are opened, and S2-S5 are repeated to transport the socks on multiple temporary sock placing tables 201.

[0069] Specifically, after the currently opened first electromagnetic valve 209 and second electromagnetic valve 210 are closed, the sock transport of the temporary sock placing table 201 corresponding to the sock feeding channel corresponding to the currently opened first electromagnetic valve 209 is stopped, the first electromagnetic valve 209 arranged in the sock feeding channel of another temporary sock placing table 201 is determined according to the stacking information, the first control information is generated again to control the opening of the first electromagnetic valve 209 arranged in the sock feeding channel of another temporary sock placing table 201, and the second control information is generated to control the opening of the second electromagnetic valve 210 arranged in the sock feeding channel of another sock collecting box 202, thereby conducting the sock transport path of another temporary sock placing table 201.

[0070] When the next temporary sock placing table 201 is determined, the next temporary sock placing table 201 is determined according to the stacking information of all temporary sock placing tables 201. Specifically, the loading conditions of the current temporary sock placing tables 201 are obtained according to the weight sensors 211 arranged on the temporary sock placing tables 201, and the temporary sock placing table 201 with the largest loading amount is preferentially selected as the next temporary sock placing table 201 to be transported.

[0071] After the sock conveying path of the next temporary sock placing table 201 is conducted, the above S2-S5 is repeated to convey the socks on the temporary sock placing table 201. Through the above conveying method, the socks stacked on the multiple temporary sock placing tables 201 are conveyed in turn, and the sock conveying of the multiple hosiery machines 203 is realized.

[0072] It should be noted that: the device provided in the above embodiment is only exemplified by the above division of functional modules when realizing its function, and in actual application, the above functions can be completed by different functional modules according to needs, that is, the internal structure of the device is divided into different functional modules to complete all or part of the above described functions. In addition, the device and method embodiments provided in the above embodiment belong to the same concept, and the specific implementation process is detailed in the method embodiment, which will not be described here.
