A knitted sock shaping machine according to claim 3, characterized in that: The sides of the cylindrical blocks are all provided with mounting grooves, the interior of the mounting grooves is fixedly connected with a guide magnetic block, and the fixed support is fixedly connected with an adsorption block, which is located at one end of the arc strip.

5. The knitted sock shaping machine according to claim 1, characterized in that: The steam delivery mechanism includes a steam generator, which is fixedly installed on the top of the arc-shaped shell. The output end of the steam generator is fixedly connected to multiple connecting pipes, one end of the multiple connecting pipes is respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the arc-shaped shell, and a pressure relief valve is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped shell.

6. A shaping method for a knitted sock shaping machine, applicable to a knitted sock shaping machine according to any one of claims 1 to 5, characterized in that: The method comprises the following steps: Step 1: The rotating ring is driven to rotate unidirectionally and at a uniform speed above the fixed support by the action of the rotating mechanism, and the staff sequentially sets the knitted socks for shaping on a plurality of rotating setting templates at a fixed position, and moves toward the arc-shaped shell along with the fixed support; Step 2: The mounting ring is moved axially downward along the through hole by the action of the moving and giving way mechanism, and the rotating column is driven to move downward synchronously, so that the corresponding set template and the knitted socks are moved toward the inside of the through hole, so as to move and give way and enter the inside of the arc-shaped shell, and after entering the inside of the arc-shaped shell, they move upward and return to the initial position, and the knitted socks on the set template are steam-shaped by the action of the steam conveying mechanism; Step 3: When the knitted socks are rotated out of the arc-shaped shell after being shaped, they continue to move downward and move out of the way through the action of the moving and giving way mechanism until they return to the initial position after being detached from the arc-shaped shell, so that the staff can remove the shaped knitted socks from the setting template and set the next knitted socks.
