DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] The embodiment of the present invention provides a sock steam setting device, such as Figure 1-8 As shown, it includes a steam shaper 101, a support plate 102, a closed rotating plate 105 and a support base 111. The two support plates 102 are fixedly arranged at both ends of the steam shaper 101, at the positions of the support plates 102 on both sides, and the two support bases 111 are fixedly arranged below the outer end surfaces of the support plates 102 on both sides. A closed groove 104 opening outward is provided on one side of the outer end surface of the steam shaper 101. The closed groove 104 is in an arc shape. A turning shaft 127 is rotatably arranged on one side between the two walls of the closed groove 104. The closed rotating plate 105 is installed on one side of the outer end surface of the turning shaft 127. The closed rotating plate 105 is in an arc shape. Hand-held rods 129 are fixedly arranged on both sides of the outer end surface of the closed rotating plate 105. The hand-held rods 129 on both sides are symmetrically arranged. The interior of the steam shaper 101 and the support plates 102 on both sides form a steam shaping cavity 112, and the closed groove 104 is connected to one side of the inner wall of the steam shaping cavity 112.
[0033] It should be further explained that after the sealing rotating plate 105 is turned over and completely covers the inside of the sealing groove 104 , the inside of the steam molding cavity 112 can be sealed.
[0034] Furthermore, adjusting wheels 119 are rotatably provided on both sides of the steam shaping chamber 112 . The adjusting wheels 119 on both sides are symmetrically arranged. The adjusting wheel 119 on one side is axially mounted with a rotating shaft 118 , and the rotating shaft 118 is rotatably connected to the support plate 102 .
[0035] Furthermore, a circular rotating ring 128 is fixedly connected to the end surface of the other side of the adjusting wheel 119 close to the support plate 102, and the rotating ring 128 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the steam shaping chamber 112, thereby supporting the rotation of the adjusting wheel 119.
[0036] Furthermore, a rotating motor 113 is fixedly provided on the outer end surface of the support plate 102 on one side, and the rotating motor 113 is power-connected to the rotating shaft 118 .
[0037] It should be further explained that when the rotating motor 113 is started, it can drive the rotating shaft 118 to rotate, and then drive the adjusting wheel 119 on one side to rotate through the transmission of the rotating shaft 118.
[0038] Furthermore, a transverse connecting drum 110 is fixedly provided at the axial position of the adjusting wheel 119 connected to the rotating shaft 118. One end surface of the connecting drum 110 extends outward and passes through the adjusting wheel 119 on the other side and penetrates the steam shaping cavity 112 on the other side.
[0039] It should be further explained that the connecting drum 110 supports the rotation through the adjusting wheels 119 on both sides.
[0040] Furthermore, a steam pipe 121 is provided in the connecting drum 110 , and a plurality of air holes 117 opening outward are provided on the inner wall of the steam pipe 121 . The air holes 117 are distributed in an array, and the air holes 117 are connected to the steam shaping chamber 112 .
[0041] Furthermore, a sealing plate 120 is fixedly provided on the outer end surface of the support plate 102 , and the sealing plate 120 seals the rear end of the connecting drum 110 . One end of the sealing plate 120 is installed and connected to the steam generator 108 .
[0042] It is worth further explaining that the steam output pipe in the steam generator 108 passes through the sealing plate 120 and is connected to the steam pipe 121 .
[0043] It should be further explained that when the steam generator 108 is started, the generated steam can be connected to the steam pipe 121, the steam can be input through the steam pipe 121, and the steam can be input outwardly into the steam shaping cavity 112 through the air holes 117 evenly arranged and distributed on each side.
[0044] Furthermore, a plurality of support frames 109 are fixedly provided on the outer end surface of the connecting drum 110, and the support frames 109 are evenly distributed in an array on the surface of the connecting drum 110. Inclined sleeve rods 114 are fixedly provided on both sides of the outer end surface of the support frames 109. The sleeve rods 114 facilitate the socks to be shaped to be sleeved on the surface of the sleeve rods 114 to provide stable support.
[0045] Furthermore, a detachable anti-slip rod 115 is installed on the outer end surface of the support frame 109 and on the side of the sleeve rod 114. After installation, the anti-slip rod 115 is at a certain distance from the sleeve rod 114. A limiting rod 116 is provided on the end surface of one side of the sleeve rod 114 at the front end of the anti-slip rod 115. The anti-slip rod 115 and the limiting rod 116 prevent the socks from slipping.
[0046] It should be further explained that the anti-slip rod 115 is connected to the support frame 109 via a threaded nut, and a threaded hole for installing the anti-slip rod 115 is provided on the surface of the support frame 109.
[0047] Furthermore, the anti-slip bar 115 is provided with a plurality of through holes 125 penetrating and communicating on both sides, and the through holes 125 are distributed in an array.
[0048] It is worth noting that the through hole 125 facilitates the passage of steam, thereby reducing the amount of steam blocked by the anti-slip rod 115, ensuring that the sleeved knitted socks achieve the steam setting effect.
[0049] Furthermore, a plurality of openings and through-connected slots 122 are provided in the regulating wheel 119 , and the slots 122 are in the shape of circular arc sectors, and the steam shaping chambers 112 are distributed in a circular array.
[0050] Furthermore, the outer arc surface of the empty slot 122 is provided with a plurality of telescopic slide grooves 126 opening outward, and the positions of the telescopic slide grooves 126 are distributed in an array. A centrifugal slider 124 capable of telescopic movement is provided in the telescopic slide groove 126. The centrifugal slider 124 is in an arc shape, and a telescopic spring 123 is installed and connected between the centrifugal slider 124 and a side wall of the empty slot 122. The outer arc surface of the centrifugal slider 124 abuts against the inner wall of the steam molding chamber 112.
[0051] When using this solution, the connecting drum 110 is first driven to move as a whole to the working position, and the supporting base 111 on both sides of the bottom plays a stable supporting effect. The staff first starts the steam generator 108 and preheats the steam to be generated to facilitate the subsequent steam shaping work.
[0052] Then the staff holds the hand-held rods 129 on both sides and drives the closed rotating plate 105 to flip open. When the closed rotating plate 105 is flipped open, the closed rotating plate 105 rotates under the support of the flip shaft 127. At this time, the opening of the steam shaping chamber 112 is no longer closed, and the staff can respectively put the socks that need to be steam-shaped into the sleeve rods 114 on the side of the support frame 109. According to the tightness of the socks, the staff can install the anti-slip rod 115 on the side of the sleeve rod 114, and use the extended limit rod 116 to limit the movement of one end of the socks.
[0053] When the socks to be shaped are all stretched out and put on the surface of the sleeve rod 114, the staff then rotates the closed rotating plate 105 in the opposite direction and closes the inside of the steam shaping chamber 112. At this time, the steam generator 108 on the side is started and the generated steam is input through the steam pipe 121, and the steam is discharged outward through the air holes 117 evenly distributed inside, and the high-temperature steam is input into the steam shaping chamber 112, and the socks on each side are shaped by steam. At this time, the fibers of the socks will shrink due to the high temperature. At this time, due to certain physical changes in the fiber structure of the socks, the fibers of the anti-slip rod 115 on the side are prevented from falling off. At the same time, during the steam shaping process, the through holes 125 set on the side of the anti-slip rod 115 facilitate the passage of steam, thereby reducing the amount of steam blocked by the anti-slip rod 115, thereby ensuring that the sleeved socks achieve the effect of steam shaping.
[0054] During the steam setting process, the staff starts the rotating motor 113 on the side. When the rotating motor 113 is started, it can drive the rotating shaft 118 to rotate, and then drive the adjusting wheel 119 on one side to rotate through the rotating shaft 118. The rotation of the adjusting wheel 119 drives the connecting drum 110 to rotate. At this time, the rotation of the connecting drum 110 plays the role of rotation support through the adjusting wheels 119 on both sides.
[0055] At this time, as the connecting drum 110 rotates, it can drive the support frames 109 on each side to rotate, and drive the sleeve rods 114 on each side to rotate through the support frames 109. At this time, as the sleeve rods 114 rotate, the socks are further driven to rotate in the steam shaping chamber 112, and the socks on each side are further evenly steamed, thereby improving the efficiency of steam shaping and the shaping quality of the socks on each side.
[0056] During the rotation of the connecting drum 110 and the rotation of the adjusting wheels 119 on both sides, when the centrifugal sliders 124 on each side are subjected to the centrifugal force of rotation, they can drive the centrifugal sliders 124 to move outwards, overcoming the elastic force of the telescopic springs 123, and increase the friction between the centrifugal sliders 124 and the inner wall of the steam shaping chamber 112, thereby adjusting the rotation speed of the wheels 119, so that the adjusting wheels 119 on both sides rotate at a stable speed, and drive the connecting drum 110 to rotate stably through the stable rotation speed.
[0057] When the sleeved socks are being steamed, they are affected by the steam, and the surface of the support frame 109 will increase in mass due to the condensation of steam. At this time, since the mass of the support frames 109 on each side increases and the rotational load of the connecting drum 110 increases, the centrifugal force on the centrifugal slider 124 decreases due to its rotation speed. At this time, the friction between the centrifugal slider 124 and the inner wall of the steam shaping chamber 112 decreases, thereby balancing the rotational load of the adjusting wheel 119, further maintaining the adjusting wheel 119 at the same rotational speed, and ensuring the stable rotational speed of the socks in the steam shaping chamber 112 by stabilizing the rotation of the adjusting wheel 119, and further improving the quality and efficiency of the sock shaping.
[0058] Subsequently, when the steam setting is completed, the staff stops the steam generator 108 on the side, and with the high temperature in the subsequent steam setting chamber 112 and the continuous rotation of the connecting drum 110, the steam moisture absorbed in the socks after the setting work is completed will be evaporated. At this time, the load of the support frames 109 on each side will be reduced as the moisture evaporates. At the same time, the rotation speed of the connecting drum 110 is further adjusted through the support frames 109 on both sides, and the rotation speed of the connecting drum 110 is always maintained to further improve the setting of the socks. After all the internal moisture of the socks is evaporated, the sock setting work is completed.
[0059] At the same time, when shaping socks made of different materials, the amount and temperature of steam are adjusted according to parameters such as the material and thickness of the socks to achieve the best shaping effect, and the rotation speed of the connected drum 110 is accurately controlled in conjunction with this solution to ensure that the socks are evenly acted upon by steam during the shaping process, thereby improving the consistency of the shaping effect.
[0060] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
