A first air pump is further provided, and a rubber membrane is provided on the surface of the fixed plate. When the first air pump is started, gas is blown into the interior of the sock supporting block through a connecting pipe, so as to lift up the rubber membrane.

[0021] 3. The sock collecting and stacking mechanism of the sock shaping machine is provided with a first belt and a second belt. When the fourth rotating shaft and the fifth rotating shaft roll the socks off the surface of the sock supporting block, the socks pass between the first belt and the second belt, and are squeezed by them to make the shape of the socks more stable and meet the requirements. A limit plate is provided on the surface of the first belt to prevent the socks from sliding into the collecting trough and being collected when they fail to slide during the stacking process, thereby improving the stacking efficiency.

[0022] 4. The sock collecting and stacking mechanism of the sock shaping machine is provided with a pressure measuring device. When the socks stacked into the collecting trough reach a certain weight, the pressure measuring device will control the mechanism to stop running and start the fourth motor, thereby ultimately driving the collecting trough to slide downward, making it convenient for manual collection of the stacked socks. The structure is simple and the efficiency is high, thereby improving the overall stacking efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] a sock supporting block 54, the sock supporting block 54 being fixedly connected to the surface of the third rotating shaft 53;

[0038] The limiting block 58 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sock supporting block 54, and the surface of the sock supporting block 54 is fixedly connected with a fixing plate 55, the interior of the fixing plate 55 is fixedly connected with a rubber membrane 56, the interior of the supporting belt 49 is fixedly connected with a first air pump 51, and the interior of the first air pump 51 is fixedly connected with a connecting pipe 52.

[0039] A first fixed block 57 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support belt 49, a first magnet 59 and a first spring 511 are fixedly connected to the surface of the first fixed block 57, and the first spring 511 is arranged between the limit block 58 and the first fixed block 57, a second fixed block 513 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support belt 49, one end of the limit block 58 is fixedly connected to the second magnet 510, the other end of the limit block 58 is fixedly connected to the second spring 512, and the second spring 512 is arranged between the second fixed block 513 and the limit block 58.

[0042] When in use, first start the first air pump 51. After the first air pump 51 is started, the gas is transported to the inside of the sock support block 54 through the connecting pipe 52, so that the rubber film 56 on the surface of the fixing plate 55 bulges, making the socks more stable during the stacking and transportation process. Start the first motor 41. The start of the first motor 41 drives its output shaft, the second rotating shaft 48, to rotate.

The rubber membrane 56 will increase the friction with the socks, thereby avoiding the risk of the socks falling off when the support belt 49 reaches the lowest point, which is beneficial to the subsequent stacking, thereby improving the overall stacking efficiency.

The second spring 512 is set to prevent the sock support block 54 from deviating when it moves to the top, causing the socks to slip and affecting the subsequent stacking, thereby improving the stacking efficiency.

[0045] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1-8 Based on the first embodiment, the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0046] The collecting mechanism 6 also includes a second motor 61 , which is fixedly connected to the inside of the base 1 . The inside of the second motor 61 is rotatably connected to a first belt 62 via an output shaft, and a limiting plate 63 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first belt 62 .

[0047] The base 1 is internally rotatably connected to a fifth rotating shaft 66 , and the fifth rotating shaft 66 is internally rotatably connected to a fifth motor 67 . The base 1 is internally fixedly connected to a third motor 68 , and the third motor 68 is internally rotatably connected to a sixth rotating shaft 610 .

[0048] The fourth gear 69 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sixth rotating shaft 610, and the surface of the sixth rotating shaft 610 is rotatably connected to the second belt 611. The bottom of the base 1 is fixedly connected to the fourth motor 612, and the inside of the fourth motor 612 is slidably connected to the slider 613 via a lead screw.

[0049] A pressure measuring device 614 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding block 613 , a third spring 615 is fixedly connected to the surface of the pressure measuring device 614 , and a collecting groove 616 is fixedly connected to the surface of the third spring 615 .

[0050] When in use, when the socks are transported to the top of the first belt 62, the second motor 61 is started, and the start of the second motor 61 drives the first belt 62 to rotate counterclockwise, and at the same time the third motor 68 is started, and the start of the third motor 68 drives the sixth rotating shaft 610 to rotate clockwise, and the rotation of the sixth rotating shaft 610 drives the second belt 611 to rotate clockwise, and at the same time the rotation of the sixth rotating shaft 610 drives the fourth gear 69 to rotate together, thereby driving the third gear 64 meshing therewith to rotate, and the rotation of the third gear 64 drives the fourth rotating shaft 65 to rotate, and the rotation of the fourth rotating shaft 65 rotates the sock support block The fixed socks 54 roll down to the surface of the first belt 62, and the fifth motor 67 is started at the same time. The start of the fifth motor 67 drives the fifth rotating shaft 66 to rotate. The socks are transported to the top of the second belt 611 through the rotation of the fourth rotating shaft 65 and the fifth rotating shaft 66, and slide to the surface of the collecting trough 616 as they rotate and are collected. When the collected socks reach a certain weight, the fourth motor 612 will be controlled to start. The start of the fourth motor 612 drives the slider 613 to slide, and the sliding of the slider 613 drives the collecting trough 616 to slide downward together, so as to facilitate the subsequent manual recovery of the stacked socks.

[0051] By setting the first belt 62 and the second belt 611, when the fourth rotating shaft 65 and the fifth rotating shaft 66 roll the socks off the surface of the sock supporting block 54, the socks pass between the first belt 62 and the second belt 611, and are squeezed by them to make the shape of the socks more stable and meet the requirements. A limiting plate 63 is set on the surface of the first belt 62 to prevent the socks from failing to slide into the collecting groove 616 during the stacking process and being collected, thereby improving the stacking efficiency.

[0052] By setting up a pressure measuring device 614, when the socks stacked into the collecting groove 616 reach a certain weight, the pressure measuring device 614 will control the mechanism to stop running and will start the fourth motor 612, thereby ultimately driving the collecting groove 616 to slide downward, making it easier to manually collect the stacked socks. The structure is simple and the efficiency is high, thereby improving the overall stacking efficiency.
