Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sock production technology, and specifically relates to a fabric performance testing device for sock production. Background Technology

[0002] In the textile industry, fabric quality and performance are paramount. During daily use, wear, and washing, fabrics are constantly subjected to friction. In areas prone to friction, the fiber ends on the fabric surface loosen and protrude due to friction and slippage, creating unsightly fuzz, known as "pilling." If this fuzz doesn't dissipate promptly during continued wear, it continues to rub and curl, becoming entangled and forming numerous spherical particles, commonly called "pilling." Pilling deteriorates the fabric's appearance and reduces its performance, especially in synthetic fiber fabrics. Due to the poor cohesion, high strength, and good elasticity of the fibers, pilling is more pronounced. Currently, pilling has become one of the main indicators for evaluating fabric performance, particularly for socks. Because socks frequently rub against the inside of shoes during wear, the requirements for pilling are even higher, necessitating testing for sock pilling.

[0003] For example, in Chinese invention patent CN117147353B, entitled "A Testing Device for Pilling and Fuzzing of Textile Fabrics," the invention specifically includes a machine body and a fixed frame fixedly connected to the inner wall of the machine body. A friction component for testing the sample is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixed frame, and two sets of friction components are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the fixed frame. A bearing component for fixing the sample is also rotatably connected to the inner wall of the machine body. The bearing component includes a support shaft rotatably connected to the inner wall of the machine body, a first clamping frame fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support shaft, and a fixing component slidably connected to the outer wall of the first clamping frame. A squeezing rod cooperating with the fixing component is also fixedly connected to the inner wall of the machine body, and a sealing component for sealing the machine body is also slidably connected to the inner wall of the machine body. Although the above-mentioned prior art can perform pilling and fuzzing tests on textile fabrics, simulated pilling and fuzzing tests are required for finished socks, so a fabric performance testing device for sock production is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fabric performance testing device for sock production that is simple in structure and reasonably designed in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A fabric performance testing device for sock production includes a testing chamber. A rotating cylinder is rotatably arranged at the center of the inner side of the testing chamber. A servo motor for driving the rotating cylinder is fixedly arranged on one side of the testing chamber. A plurality of telescopic mechanisms are fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating cylinder. A prosthetic foot model is arranged at one end of each of the telescopic mechanisms. A plurality of pilling mechanisms that cooperate with the prosthetic foot model are arranged on the inner side wall of the testing chamber.

[0007] As a further optimization of the present invention, the telescopic mechanism includes multiple fixed cylinders fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating cylinder. Each of the multiple fixed cylinders has a sealing piston plate slidably disposed on its inner side. A sliding rod is fixedly disposed on one side of the sealing piston plate and slides through one end of the fixed cylinder. One side of the prosthetic foot model is connected to one end of the sliding rod through a disassembly assembly.

[0008] As a further optimization of the present invention, the disassembly assembly includes a connecting rod fixedly disposed on one side of the prosthetic foot model, a first connecting plate fixedly disposed at one end of the connecting rod, and a second connecting plate that cooperates with the first connecting plate fixedly disposed at one end of the sliding rod, and the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are connected by a plurality of connecting bolts.

[0009] As a further optimization of the present invention, the balling mechanism includes a mounting plate fixedly disposed on the inner side wall of the test chamber. The edge of the mounting plate is provided with a plurality of mounting screws connected to the test chamber. A plurality of fixing plates are fixedly disposed on one side of the mounting plate. Side balling plates are provided on both sides of the plurality of fixing plates. A bottom balling plate fixedly connected to the mounting plate is disposed between two adjacent fixing plates.

[0010] As a further optimization of the present invention, a sealing door is provided on the front side of the test chamber, and a pneumatic mechanism communicating with the rotating cylinder is provided at the center of the sealing door. Several outlet components that cooperate with the prosthetic foot model are provided around the circumference of the test chamber.

[0011] As a further optimization of the present invention, the pneumatic mechanism includes an air cylinder fixedly installed at the center of the sealed door, an electric telescopic rod fixedly installed on one side of the air cylinder, a compressed air piston plate fixedly installed at the output end of the electric telescopic rod and sealed and slidably connected to the inner side of the air cylinder, and one end of the rotating cylinder sealably rotates through the sealed door and communicates with the inner side of the air cylinder.

[0012] As a further optimization of the present invention, the outlet component includes an outlet groove formed on the circumference of the test chamber, a baffle is slidably arranged on the inner side of the outlet groove, a positioning screw is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the baffle, and a slot that cooperates with the positioning screw is formed on the outer side of the test chamber.

[0013] As a further optimization of the present invention, the sealing door is provided with an observation window, and the edge of the sealing door is provided with a number of fixing screws connected to the test box. The number of outlet grooves and the number of ball-raising mechanisms are arranged alternately.

[0014] As a further optimization of the present invention, support frames are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the test box, and several of the prosthetic foot models are made of silicone material.

[0015] As a further optimization of the present invention, the surfaces of the side ball-forming plate and the bottom ball-forming plate are provided with textile fabric, and the prosthetic foot model passes through two adjacent side ball-forming plates and rubs against the textile fabric.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0017] 1. In this invention, a servo motor drives a rotating drum to rotate, which in turn drives multiple fixed cylinders on the outside of the rotating drum to rotate. This, in turn, drives a sliding rod at one end of the fixed cylinder to rotate, which in turn drives a prosthetic foot model at one end of the sliding rod to rotate. Since the prosthetic foot model is covered with socks, it will drive multiple socks to rotate. When the socks rotate and pass through two adjacent side pilling plates, the socks will rub against the textile fabric on the two side pilling plates and the bottom pilling plate. This can simulate the wear and tear on socks during the process of wearing shoes and exercising. Furthermore, since the prosthetic foot model is made of silicone, it can more realistically simulate the wear and tear between a person's real feet and socks, making the process of testing the pilling and fuzzing of socks more realistic and simulating the wear and tear of socks during wear more realistically.

[0018] 2. In this invention, the gas inside the cylinder is compressed into the rotating cylinder by the electric telescopic rod, and then enters the fixed cylinder through the rotating cylinder. This compresses the sealing piston plate inside the fixed cylinder, causing the sealing piston plate to drive the sliding rod and the prosthetic foot model at one end to extend and retract along the fixed cylinder. This allows adjustment of the pressure on the prosthetic foot model when it passes through the textile fabric on the bottom balling plate, simulating the situation of a person wearing socks and engaging in strenuous exercise.

[0019] 3. In this invention, a servo motor drives the rotating drum to rotate, causing multiple prosthetic foot models on the outside of the drum to rotate to the corresponding outlet slot positions. Then, the servo motor stops rotating, and the electric telescopic rod drives the air compression piston plate to slide inside the air cylinder. This compresses the gas inside the air cylinder into the rotating drum, and then into the fixed cylinder. The gas compresses the sealing piston plate inside the fixed cylinder, causing the sealing piston plate to drive the sliding rod and the prosthetic foot model at one end to extend and retract along the fixed cylinder. This allows the prosthetic foot model to pass through the outlet slot and extend out of the test box, enabling socks to be put on or taken off the prosthetic foot model, improving the efficiency of sock putting on and taking off, and thus improving the testing efficiency of socks.

[0030] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0031] Example

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 As shown, a fabric performance testing device for sock production includes a testing chamber 1, which has a cylindrical hollow structure. Support frames 10 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the testing chamber 1. A sealing door 2 is installed on the front side of the testing chamber 1, and an observation window 201 is provided on the sealing door 2 to facilitate observation of the testing conditions inside the testing chamber 1. Several fixing screws 202 connected to the testing chamber 1 are provided on the edge of the sealing door 2. A rotating cylinder 6 is rotatably installed at the center of the inner side of the testing chamber 1, and a gas flow channel is opened at the center of the rotating cylinder 6. A servo motor 5 for driving the rotating cylinder 6 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the testing chamber 1. Several telescopic mechanisms 8 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating cylinder 6, forming six rows. Each row of telescopic mechanisms 8 is equally spaced along the circumference of the axis of the rotating cylinder 6. Each row has multiple telescopic mechanisms 8, and the specific number of rows can be adjusted according to the testing process. The telescopic mechanism 8 includes multiple fixed cylinders 801 fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating cylinder 6. The inner side of 01 is sealed and slidably equipped with a sealing piston plate 802. A sliding rod 803 is fixedly installed on one side of the sealing piston plate 802, which slides through one end of the fixed cylinder 801. A second connecting plate 804 is fixedly installed on one end of the sliding rod 803. A first connecting plate 702 is connected to one side of the second connecting plate 804 by a connecting bolt 805. A connecting rod 701 is fixedly installed on one side of the first connecting plate 702. A prosthetic foot model 7 is installed at one end of the connecting rod 701. In use, when the servo motor 5 drives the rotating cylinder 6 to rotate, it can drive the multiple fixed cylinders 801 on the outside of the rotating cylinder 6 to rotate, thereby driving the sliding rod 803 at one end of the fixed cylinder 801 to rotate together. This, in turn, drives the second connecting plate 804 and the first connecting plate 702 at one end of the sliding rod 803 to rotate, thereby driving the prosthetic foot model 7 at one end of the connecting rod 701 to rotate together. The prosthetic foot models 7 are made of silicone material. The silicone prosthetic foot models 7 can more realistically simulate human feet, making the sock wear test more accurate.

[0033] like Figure 5 , Figure 9As shown, the inner wall of the test chamber 1 is provided with several ball-forming mechanisms 9 that cooperate with the prosthetic foot model 7. Each ball-forming mechanism 9 includes a mounting plate 901 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the test chamber 1. The mounting plate 901 is fixedly connected to the test chamber 1 by mounting screws 905. Several fixing plates 902 are fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting plate 901. Side ball-forming plates 903 are provided on both sides of each fixing plate 902. The side edges of the side ball-forming plates 903 are chamfered to facilitate the prosthetic foot model 7 to slide in. A bottom ball-forming plate 904, fixedly connected to the mounting plate 901, is provided between two adjacent fixing plates 902. The side edges of the bottom ball-forming plate 904 are chamfered to facilitate the prosthetic foot model 7 to slide in. The surfaces of the side ball-forming plates 903 and the bottom ball-forming plate 904 are covered with textile fabric. The textile fabric on the side ball-forming plates 903 can simulate a shoe. To simulate the wear and tear on socks, the textile fabric on the bottom pilling plate 904 can mimic the wear and tear of an insole on a sock. The mounting plate 901 can be easily removed via the mounting screw 905, making it easy to replace the side pilling plates 903 and the bottom pilling plate 904. This allows for the replacement of the textile fabric on the side pilling plates 903 and the bottom pilling plate 904, providing a better test of the sock's wear performance. The distance between two adjacent side pilling plates 903 is slightly smaller than the width of the prosthetic foot model 7, facilitating the friction between the prosthetic foot model 7 and the textile fabric as it passes through the two adjacent side pilling plates 903. This realistically simulates the internal friction between the sock and the shoe. When the sock rotates and passes through the two adjacent side pilling plates 903, it rubs against the textile fabric on the two side pilling plates 903 and the bottom pilling plate 904, simulating the wear and tear on socks during physical activity while wearing shoes.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the circumference of the test chamber 1 is provided with several outlet components 4 that cooperate with the dummy foot model 7. In this embodiment, there are six outlet components 4, and the specific number can be adjusted according to the testing process. The outlet component 4 includes an outlet groove 401 opened on the circumference of the test chamber 1. The outlet groove 401 adopts a long strip through groove. The six outlet grooves 401 and the six ball-raising mechanisms 9 are arranged alternately. A baffle 402 is slidably arranged on the inner side of the outlet groove 401. A positioning screw 403 is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the baffle 402. A slot 404 that cooperates with the positioning screw 403 is opened on the outer side of the test chamber 1. When it is necessary to open the outlet groove 401, the positioning screw 403 can be pulled to make the baffle 402 slide into the interior of the test chamber 1, so that the outlet groove 401 opens. At the same time, when the positioning screw 403 slides into the inner side of the slot 404, the nut (not shown in the figure) is screwed into the positioning screw 403, so that the nut abuts against the outer wall of the test chamber 1, and finally the baffle 402 is opened and fixed.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 As shown, a pneumatic mechanism 3 connected to a rotating cylinder 6 is located at the center of the sealing door 2. The pneumatic mechanism 3 includes an air cylinder 301 fixedly installed at the center of the sealing door 2. An electric telescopic rod 302 is fixedly installed on one side of the air cylinder 301. A compressed air piston plate 303, which is slidably connected to the inner side of the air cylinder 301, is fixedly installed at the output end of the electric telescopic rod 302. One end of the rotating cylinder 6 passes through the sealing door 2 and is connected to the inner side of the air cylinder 301. In use, the compressed air piston plate 303 is driven by the electric telescopic rod 302. 3. Sliding the gas cylinder 301 inside the cylinder compresses the gas inside the cylinder 301 into the rotating cylinder 6. This compressed gas then enters the fixed cylinder 801 through the rotating cylinder 6, compressing the sealing piston plate 802 inside the fixed cylinder 801. The sealing piston plate 802 slides inside the fixed cylinder 801, causing one end of the sliding rod 803 to extend and retract on the fixed cylinder 801. This allows the prosthetic foot model 7 at one end of the sliding rod 803 to slide along the fixed cylinder 801. 1. The pressure of the prosthetic foot model 7 as it passes through the textile fabric on the bottom balling plate 904 can be adjusted to simulate the situation of a person wearing socks and engaging in strenuous exercise. Furthermore, the servo motor 5 can drive the rotating drum 6 to rotate, causing multiple prosthetic foot models 7 on the outside of the rotating drum 6 to rotate to the corresponding outlet slot 401 position. Then, the servo motor 5 stops rotating, and the electric telescopic rod 302 drives the air compressor piston plate 303 to slide inside the air cylinder 301, compressing the gas inside the air cylinder 301 into the rotating drum 6, and then into the fixed cylinder 801. This compresses the sealing piston plate 802 inside the fixed cylinder 801, causing the sealing piston plate 802 to drive the sliding rod 803 and the prosthetic foot model 7 at one end to extend and retract along the fixed cylinder 801. This allows the prosthetic foot model 7 to pass through the outlet slot 401 and extend outward from the outside of the test box 1, enabling socks to be put on or removed from the prosthetic foot model 7, improving the efficiency of sock wearing and removal, and thus improving the sock testing efficiency.

[0036] It should be noted that in this fabric performance testing device for sock production, when socks need to be worn onto the prosthetic foot model 7, the servo motor 5 drives the rotating drum 6 to rotate, causing multiple prosthetic foot models 7 on the outside of the rotating drum 6 to rotate to the corresponding outlet slot 401 position. Then, the servo motor 5 stops rotating, and the electric telescopic rod 302 drives the air compressor piston plate 303 to slide inside the air cylinder 301, which compresses the gas inside the air cylinder 301 into the rotating drum 6, and then into the fixed cylinder 801 through the rotating drum 6. This compresses the sealing piston plate 802 inside the fixed cylinder 801, causing the sealing piston plate 802 to drive the sliding rod 803 and the prosthetic foot model 7 at one end to extend and retract along the fixed cylinder 801. This allows the prosthetic foot model 7 to pass through the outlet slot 401 and extend out of the outside of the test box 1, allowing the socks to be worn onto the prosthetic foot model 7. Then, the electric telescopic rod 302 drives the air compressor piston plate 303 to slide in the opposite direction inside the air cylinder 301, thus... The sealing piston plate 802 is driven to slide in the opposite direction inside the fixed cylinder 801 by atmospheric pressure, causing the slide rod 803 and the prosthetic foot model 7 at one end to move closer to the fixed cylinder 801. This causes the multiple prosthetic foot models 7 extending outside the test box 1 to retract into the test box 1. Then, the servo motor 5 drives the rotating cylinder 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the multiple fixed cylinders 801 outside the rotating cylinder 6 to rotate. This causes the slide rod 803 at one end of the fixed cylinder 801 to rotate as well, which in turn drives the second connecting plate 804 and the first connecting plate 702 at one end of the slide rod 803 to rotate. This causes the prosthetic foot model 7 at one end of the connecting rod 701 to rotate as well. When the sock rotates and passes through the two adjacent side pilling plates 903, the sock will rub against the textile fabric on the two side pilling plates 903 and the bottom pilling plate 904. During the friction process, the electric telescopic rod 302 can drive the prosthetic foot model 7 to press against the bottom pilling plate 904, which can simulate the situation of a person wearing socks and engaging in strenuous exercise.

[0037] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
