Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sock preparation, and specifically discloses a steam shaping device for a sports sock production line. Background Art

[0002] After the sports socks are sewn and processed, they need to be shaped to ensure that the socks always maintain a certain shape after being worn and increase the service life of the socks. Existing devices for steam shaping of socks include a steam box with openable left and right sides. On the left and right sides of the steam box, a sealed box door is driven by a cylinder. At the same time, a closed-loop conveyor is horizontally penetrated in the steam box. The socks are sent into the steam box through the hangers on the conveyor, and then the box door is closed, and steam is introduced for steam shaping treatment.

[0003] For example, the utility model patent with the application number 201720685288X discloses a steam shaping box of a sock shaping machine, including a frame, a motor, a control rod assembly, a fastening assembly, a turntable, a box body and a box cover. A slide rail for the box body to slide is arranged on the frame. A rotating shaft is arranged above the frame. The two ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected with a limiting rod. One end of the limiting rod is connected with the fastening assembly, and the other end extends to one side of the turntable. A limiting shaft for pushing the limiting rod is arranged on the turntable. The steam shaping box disclosed in this patent uses the devices commonly used on the market for steam shaping treatment of socks. Although such devices can realize steam shaping treatment of a batch of socks, after each batch of socks is processed, the left and right ends of the box body need to be opened, and then this batch of socks is removed from the steam box, and a new batch of socks is sent into it. After closing the box door, steam is introduced for shaping treatment. Due to the opening and closing of the left and right ends of the box body during this process, the high-temperature steam inside the box will leak out each time the batch of socks is switched, increasing the energy consumption during the steam shaping process of the sports socks. More importantly, the leaked steam is likely to scald the workers who are loading and unloading materials beside. Based on this, the present application proposes a steam shaping device for a sports sock production line that can effectively solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a steam shaping device for a sports sock production line to solve the deficiencies of large consumption of high-temperature steam and easy scalding of operators during the sock shaping process using the existing steam shaping box.

[0005] The present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A steam shaping device for a sports sock production line includes a vertical conveying device, a steam shaping box, a steam generating device and a control cabinet. A plurality of sealing plates are rotatably connected at equal intervals on the vertical conveying device. The lower surface of each sealing plate is connected with a sock mold hanger, and a plurality of sock templates are hung on the sock mold hanger;

[0007] The steam shaping box is vertically fixedly arranged, and one side end of the vertical conveying device penetrates through the steam shaping box up and down. A vertical channel matching the sealing plate is arranged at the upper end of the steam shaping box. Steam sealing components are arranged at both the upper and lower ends of the steam shaping box, which are symmetrically arranged front and back and simultaneously seal two adjacent sealing plates up and down in the steam shaping box.

[0008] A steam main pipe is connected to the steam generating device. Two steam branch pipes are connected to the end of the steam main pipe. The two steam branch pipes are respectively arranged on the front and back sides of the steam shaping box. A row of steam nozzles extending into the inner cavity of the steam shaping box between the upper and lower steam sealing components is arranged on each steam branch pipe.

[0009] Compared with the existing horizontally arranged steam shaping device, in the process of batch switching of sports socks for steam shaping, the left and right side doors of the existing steam shaping box must be opened, and the gates are closed after the socks enter. This results in easy leakage of steam from the gate openings on both sides of the box body. In this application, a vertical channel is arranged at the upper end of the steam shaping box, and a sealing plate is arranged above each sock mold hanger. Combining with the principle that steam moves upward, during the process of switching sports socks for steam shaping, the sealing plate that enters synchronously with the sports socks above will exactly seal the upper part of the vertical channel, so the situation of steam escaping from the upper end will be greatly reduced.

[0010] As a further setting of the above solution, the vertical conveying device includes two fixedly arranged vertical frames on the left and right. The upper ends of the two vertical frames are rotatably connected with driven wheels through wheel shafts. A driving shaft is rotatably connected between the lower ends of the two vertical frames. Active wheels are arranged at both ends of the driving shaft, and the two active wheels are vertically aligned with the two driven wheels. A closed-loop transmission belt is arranged between the active wheel and the driven wheel. An outer end of the driving shaft is connected with a conveying power component fixed on the vertical frame. The design of the above vertical conveying device can drive the active wheel to rotate through the conveying power component, and then realize the synchronous circular movement of all sealing plates and sock mold hangers along with the closed-loop conveyor belt through the action of the closed-loop conveyor belt.

[0011] As a further setting of the above solution, a plurality of connecting blocks are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the opposite side surfaces of the two closed-loop conveyor belts, and the connecting blocks on the two closed-loop conveyor belts are aligned one by one. A balance rotating rod is connected between two aligned connecting blocks, and a torsion spring is arranged between the balance rotating rod and the connecting block. The balance rotating rod is connected to the center line of the upper surface of the sealing plate. The design of the above balance rotating rod and the balance rotating rod at the same position as the sealing plate, plus the action of the torsion spring, can ensure that the sealing plate can always maintain a horizontal state during the circular movement process, and then always seal the vertical channel during the process of entering the vertical channel to prevent steam from escaping.

[0012] As a further configuration of the above scheme, two sock mold hangers are connected to the lower surface of the sealing plate, and the two sock mold hangers are mirror-symmetrical with the balance rotating rod as the symmetry axis, and the two sock mold hangers are staggered up and down. As a further configuration of the above scheme, cross bars are fixed on both side walls of the steam shaping box between the upper and lower groups of the steam sealing components, and the left and right cross bars are staggered up and down, and each end of the cross bar is fixedly connected to a rotating lever, and the sealing plate will be tilted by the rotating lever during the downward movement, thereby causing the steam under the sealing plate to flow upward into the upper end of the steam shaping box.

[0013] The two sock mold hangers are mirror-symmetrical with a balancing rod and are staggered up and down. Under the premise of ensuring that the sealing plate always remains in a horizontal state, two toggle rods are also arranged in the steam setting box below the steam sealing assembly, so that when the sports socks move downward after steam setting is completed, the sealing plate above the sock mold hanger will rotate around the balancing rod under the action of the toggle rod. When the sealing plate is tilted due to rotation, the steam below the sealing plate will flow upward through the inclined gap between the sealing plate and the inner wall of the steam setting box, and enter between the next set of upper and lower sealing plates, so as to avoid the sealing plate moving horizontally downward all the time, bringing the steam below it out of the steam setting box, thereby reducing the problem of steam escape.

[0014] As a further configuration of the above scheme, steam recovery boxes are provided on the left and right sides of the steam setting box, and the tops of the two steam recovery boxes are connected to steam extraction pipes, and the ends of the steam extraction pipes are connected to the steam generating device through a steam pump. The design of the steam recovery, steam extraction pipes, and steam pumps can extract a small amount of escaped steam during the switching process and then recycle it, effectively reducing the energy consumption problem during steam setting, and has the advantages of energy saving and environmental protection.

[0015] As a further configuration of the above solution, a steam flow regulating valve is provided at the end of each steam branch pipe close to the steam main pipe, and the steam flow regulating valve is electrically connected to the control cabinet.

[0016] As a further configuration of the above scheme, the steam sealing assembly includes a rectangular half-frame and a movable sealing plate. A card groove matching the sealing plate is opened on the inner wall of the rectangular half-frame, and a sealing rubber layer is arranged inside the card groove. The movable sealing plate is connected to the side end of the rectangular half-frame. A storage groove box for retracting the movable sealing plate is arranged on the side of the steam molding box. An adjustment assembly for realizing the synchronous approach or synchronous separation of two relative steam sealing assemblies is arranged in the steam molding box.

[0017] As a further setting of the above solution, the adjusting assembly includes a rotating rod disposed on the side surface of the movable sealing plate away from the steam nozzle. One end of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the steam shaping box, and the other end is connected to an adjusting motor fixed on the outer surface of the steam shaping box. A rack perpendicular to the rotating rod is disposed on the movable sealing plate, and a driving gear meshing with the rack is disposed on the rotating rod.

[0018] The above steam sealing assembly uses the adjusting motor as a power source to drive the driving gear, and then realizes the synchronous movement between the two relatively movable sealing plates through the meshing channel between the driving gear and the rack, and realizes the effective sealing of the left and right ends of the sealing plate through the movable sealing plate, reducing the problem of steam leakage. At the same time, the two adjusting motors are designed at the upper and lower ends of the steam shaping box, so the steam will not spread to the surrounding of the adjusting motor, avoiding the influence on the adjusting motor and improving its service life.

[0019] As a further setting of the above solution, an artificial loading and unloading platform is disposed at the rear of the vertical conveying device.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0021] 1) The steam shaping equipment disclosed in the present invention has a vertically penetrating design for the steam shaping box. At the same time, a vertical channel is provided at the upper end of the steam shaping box, and then a plurality of sealing plates are equidistantly arranged on the closed-loop conveyor belt. Then, the sports socks are hung at the lower end of the sealing plate. Under the action of the closed-loop conveyor belt, the sealing plate together with the sports socks enters the steam shaping box from the vertical channel. Therefore, during the process of switching sock batches, the upward flowing high-temperature steam will be blocked by the sealing plate and cannot flow out from the upper end, and will be brought into the steam shaping box again with the sealing plate as the high-temperature steam for steam shaping of the next batch of sports socks. It effectively solves the deficiency that a large amount of steam will leak during the process of switching batches of socks in the existing steam shaping box, has the advantages of energy conservation and emission reduction, and can avoid the physical and mental harm brought to the operators by the leaked high-temperature steam.

[0022] 2) The steam recovery box of the steam shaping equipment disclosed in the present invention also, through the structural design of the steam recovery box, in cooperation with the negative pressure extraction of the steam pump, can draw the small amount of upwardly lost high-temperature steam into the steam generating device again during the process of switching sock batches, and after secondary heating, it is put into use again, thereby effectively reducing the steam energy consumption. In addition, through the design of the rotating levers on the left and right sides, the sealing plate will rotate during the process of moving downward, and then during the rotation of the sealing plate, the steam below the sealing plate can flow quickly upward, avoiding it flowing out from the lower opening of the steam shaping box together with the sealing plate, resulting in excessive steam loss.

And a driving shaft 103 is rotatably connected between the lower ends of the two vertical frames 101, and driving wheels 104 are arranged at both ends of the driving shaft 103. During the setting process, the two driving wheels 104 and the two driven wheels 102 are arranged vertically aligned, and a closed-loop conveyor belt 105 is arranged between the same group of driving wheels 104 and driven wheels 102. Finally, a conveying power assembly 106 fixed on the vertical frame 101 is connected to an outer end of the driving shaft 103. Specifically, the conveying power assembly 106 is composed of a motor and a speed reducer.

[0047] A plurality of connecting blocks 107 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the opposite sides of the two closed-loop conveyor belts 105, and the connecting blocks 107 on the two closed-loop conveyor belts 105 are arranged in one-to-one alignment. Bearings are arranged on the opposite sides of the two connecting blocks 107, and then a balance rotating rod 108 is connected between the two aligned connecting blocks 107 through the bearings at both ends. A sealing plate 500 is connected to the balance rotating rod 108, and the balance rotating rod 108 is connected to the center line of the upper surface of the sealing plate 500. A torsion spring for keeping the sealing plate 500 always in a horizontal state is arranged between the balance rotating rod 108 and the connecting block 107, so that the sealing plate 500 can always maintain a horizontal state under the action of gravity balance and the torsion spring. At the same time, a sock mold hanger 501 is connected to the lower surface of each sealing plate 500, and a plurality of sock templates 502 are hung on the sock mold hanger 501. Specifically in the design, two sock mold hangers 501 are arranged on the lower surface of each sealing plate 500. The two sock mold hangers 501 are mirror-symmetrical with the balance rotating rod 108 as the axis of symmetry, and the two sock mold hangers 501 are arranged vertically offset, and then a row of juxtaposed sock templates 502 are hung on the sock mold hanger 501. In addition, in this embodiment, an artificial loading and unloading platform 700 is also arranged at the rear side of the vertical conveying device 100, and an operator can stand on the artificial loading and unloading platform 700 to remove the steamed and shaped sports socks and their sock templates 502, and then hang the new sports socks to be processed again.

[0048] Refer to the attached Figure 1 、attached Figure 6 and attached Figure 7 , the steam shaping box 200 is vertically and fixedly arranged between the two vertical frames 101, and one side end of the vertical conveying device 100 penetrates through the steam shaping box 200 vertically up and down. A vertical channel 201 is arranged at the upper end of the steam shaping box 200, and the size of the vertical channel 201 matches that of the sealing plate 500, so that when the sealing plate 500 enters the interior of the vertical channel 201, it can be sealed to prevent steam from leaking upward.

[0049] Refer to the attached Figure 8 and attachedFigure 9 At both the upper and lower ends of the steam shaping box 200, two steam sealing assemblies 600 are symmetrically arranged front and back, and the steam sealing assembly 600 can simultaneously seal the two adjacent sealing plates 500 inside the steam shaping box 200 up and down. Specifically, the steam sealing assembly 600 includes a rectangular half-frame 601 and a movable sealing plate 602. A clamping plate groove 603 matching the sealing plate 500 is formed on the inner side wall of the rectangular half-frame 601, and a sealing rubber layer is arranged inside the clamping plate groove 603. After the sealing plate 500 enters the clamping plate groove 603, the matching part between the two can be sealed under the action of the sealing rubber layer. The movable sealing plate 602 is connected to the side end of the rectangular half-frame 601. At the same time, a storage groove box 205 for retracting the movable sealing plate 602 is arranged on the side surface of the steam shaping box 200. Then, an adjusting assembly for synchronously approaching or synchronously moving away the two opposite steam sealing assemblies 600 is arranged in the steam shaping box 200.

[0050] Specifically, the adjusting assembly includes a rotating rod 604 arranged on the side surface of the movable sealing plate 602 away from the steam nozzle 303. One end of the rotating rod 604 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the steam shaping box 200, and the other end is connected to an adjusting motor 605 fixed on the outer surface of the steam shaping box 200. A rack 606 perpendicular to the rotating rod 604 is arranged on the movable sealing plate 602, and a driving gear 607 meshing with the rack 606 is arranged on the rotating rod 604.

[0051] Refer to Appendix Figure 1 、Appendix Figure 6 and Appendix Figure 10 Refer to FIGS., FIGS. and FIGS., a steam main pipe 301 is connected to the steam generating device 300. The end of the steam main pipe 301 is connected to two steam branch pipes 302. The two steam branch pipes 302 are respectively arranged on the front and back sides of the steam shaping box 200. A row of steam nozzles 303 extending into the inner cavity of the steam shaping box 200 between the upper and lower two steam sealing assemblies 600 are arranged on each steam branch pipe 302. At the same time, a steam flow regulating valve 304 is arranged at the end of each steam branch pipe 302 close to the steam main pipe 301. The steam flow regulating valve 304 is electrically connected to the control cabinet 400.

[0052] During the operation of the steam shaping equipment disclosed in Embodiment 1, the operator stands on the manual loading and unloading platform 700 and hangs the sock templates 502 one by one on the sock mold hanging racks 501 below the sealing plates 500.

[0053] Then, under the conveying action of the closed-loop conveyor belt 105, the sealing plate 500 with the sock template 502 hanging below is conveyed from the vertical channel 201 to the inside of the steam setting box 200. When the two adjacent sealing plates 500 move downward to align with the upper and lower steam sealing components 600, the adjusting motor 605 is started to drive the rotating rod 604 to rotate, and the driving gear 607 is driven to rotate under the action of the rotation of the rotating rod 604, and then the meshing transmission between the driving gear 607 and the rack 606 makes the left and right rectangular half frames 601 approach each other, thereby completely sealing the inner cavity of the steam setting box 200 between the upper and lower sealing plates 500. After sealing, the steam generating device 300 is started to pass high-temperature steam into the steam setting box 200 between the upper and lower sealing plates 500, and the multiple sports socks hanging on the sock mold hanger 501 are steam-set by high-temperature steam, and the steam continuously flows upward during the treatment process.

[0054] When the steam setting of this part of sports socks is completed, the steam sealing component 600 is started in reverse to release the sealing effect between it and the upper and lower sealing plates 500, and then the conveying power component 106 is started to move the closed-loop conveyor belt 105. At this time, the sealing plate 500 originally located at the upper end of the vertical channel 201 will move down to the steam setting box 200. Due to the sealing effect of the sealing plate 500, the high-temperature steam flowing upward will not be lost, and will enter the steam setting box 200 again as the sealing plate 500 moves down.

[0055] Finally, the above-mentioned actions can be repeated to steam-set the next batch of sports socks, and there is basically no leakage of high-temperature steam during the switching process between the two batches of sports socks.

A vertical channel 201 is arranged at the upper end of the steam shaping box 200, and the size of the vertical channel 201 matches that of the sealing plate 500, so that when the sealing plate 500 enters the interior of the vertical channel 201, it can be sealed to prevent steam from leaking upward.

[0061] Refer to Appendix Figure 8 Appendix Figure 9, two steam sealing assemblies 600 are symmetrically arranged in the front and back at both the upper and lower ends of the steam shaping box 200, and the steam sealing assemblies 600 can simultaneously seal two adjacent sealing plates 500 up and down inside the steam shaping box 200. Specifically, the steam sealing assembly 600 includes a rectangular half-frame 601 and a movable sealing plate 602.

At the same time, a storage groove box 205 for retracting the movable sealing plate 602 is arranged on the side surface of the steam shaping box 200, and then an adjusting assembly for synchronously approaching or synchronously moving away two opposite steam sealing assemblies 600 is arranged in the steam shaping box 200.

[0062] Specifically, the adjusting assembly includes a rotating rod 604 arranged on the side surface of the movable sealing plate 602 away from the steam nozzle 303.

After secondary heating, it is put into use again, thus effectively reducing the steam energy consumption.

[0065] Finally, in this Embodiment 2, cross bars 206 are fixedly arranged on both side walls of the steam shaping box 200 located between the upper and lower groups of steam sealing assemblies 600, and the left and right cross bars 206 are arranged in a vertically staggered manner. A rotating lever 207 is fixedly connected to the end of each cross bar 206. Through the design of the rotating levers 207 on the left and right sides as described above, during the process of the sealing plate 500 moving downward to switch sock batches, the left and right ends of the sealing plate 500 will be successively restricted by the rotating levers 207 and thus rotate. During the rotation of the sealing plate 500, the steam below the sealing plate 500 can quickly flow upward, preventing it from flowing out together with the sealing plate 500 from the lower opening of the steam shaping box 200 and causing excessive steam loss.

[0066] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
