Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermal sock manufacturing, specifically a method for manufacturing thermal socks. Background Technology

[0002] Thermal socks, designed specifically for cold seasons, primarily function to keep feet warm. To provide slip resistance, special anti-slip particles are typically added to the sole, or high-friction anti-slip yarns are used, ensuring safety and stability when walking on smooth indoor surfaces. In existing automated dispensing methods, the adhesive remains naturally stagnant until the dispensing process is complete, resulting in slow evaporation of solvents and moisture and requiring time for the adhesive to air dry, thus extending the overall production cycle. Therefore, designing a new manufacturing method for thermal socks is essential. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a method for manufacturing thermal socks.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: a method for manufacturing thermal socks, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Apply adhesive to form the anti-slip sock sole. Place the treated thermal sock blank on the rack of the automatic dispensing machine. Adjust the slider to align the dispensing machine with the area to be dispensed on the sock sole. Start the dispensing machine to apply the anti-slip adhesive to the outer surface of the sock sole in a dot or stripe pattern. The amount of adhesive applied is 0.15g / cm²-0.25g / cm². After dispensing, start the drying unit. Adjust the angle of the movable plate to align the fan with the dispensing area. Control the fan speed to 1000rpm-1500rpm and the drying time to 3min-5min, allowing the adhesive layer to dry to the touch. Step 2: Adhesive layer curing treatment. After the surface-drying of the thermal sock blank, transfer it to an oven for secondary curing. Set the oven temperature to 80℃-100℃ and the curing time to 10min-15min to allow the anti-slip adhesive to fully cross-link and cure, forming a sock sole structure with elastic anti-slip bumps. Step 3: Finishing and packaging. Trim loose threads and inspect appearance quality of the cured thermal socks. Qualified products are folded, paired, bagged, and then put into storage.

[0005] In step one, the needle diameter of the dispensing machine is 0.4mm-0.8mm, the dispensing spacing is 5mm-8mm, forming a circular glue dot with a diameter of 2mm-3mm or a strip-shaped glue pattern with a width of 2mm-3mm.

[0006] In step two, the oven uses a hot air circulation method with a wind speed of 0.5m / s-1.0m / s to ensure that the thermal sock blank is heated evenly and to avoid local overheating that could lead to aging of the adhesive layer or deformation of the sock.

[0007] The automatic dispensing machine includes a base, with uprights fixedly connected to both sides of the base.

[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 To further describe this application in detail, the method for manufacturing these thermal socks includes the following steps: Step 1: Apply adhesive to form the anti-slip sock sole. Place the processed thermal sock blank on the rack 8 of the automatic dispensing machine. Adjust the slider 4 so that the dispensing machine 5 is aligned with the area to be dispensed on the sock sole. Start the dispensing machine 5 to apply the anti-slip adhesive to the outer surface of the sock sole in a dot or stripe pattern. The amount of adhesive applied is 0.15g / cm²-0.25g / cm². After dispensing is completed, start the drying component 6. Adjust the angle of the movable plate 64 so that the fan 68 is aligned with the dispensing area. Control the fan speed of 68 to 1000rpm-1500rpm. The drying time is 3min-5min to allow the adhesive layer to dry to the surface. Step 2: Adhesive layer curing treatment. After the surface-drying of the thermal sock blank, transfer it to an oven for secondary curing. Set the oven temperature to 80℃-100℃ and the curing time to 10min-15min to allow the anti-slip adhesive to fully cross-link and cure, forming a sock sole structure with elastic anti-slip bumps. Step 3: Finishing and packaging. Trim loose threads and inspect appearance quality of the cured thermal socks. Qualified products are folded, paired, bagged, and then put into storage.

[0020] In step one, the needle diameter of the dispensing machine 5 is 0.4mm-0.8mm, the dispensing spacing is 5mm-8mm, forming a circular glue dot with a diameter of 2mm-3mm or a strip-shaped glue pattern with a width of 2mm-3mm.

[0021] In step two, the oven uses a hot air circulation method with a wind speed of 0.5m / s-1.0m / s to ensure that the thermal sock blank is heated evenly and to avoid local overheating that could cause the adhesive layer to age or the sock to deform.

[0022] The automatic dispensing machine includes a base 1, with uprights 2 fixedly connected to both sides of the base 1. A crossbar 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the uprights 2. A slider 4 is slidably connected to the surface of the crossbar 3. A dispensing machine 5 is slidably connected to the surface of the slider 4. Drying components 6 are installed on both sides of the top of the base 1. The drying components 6 include a positioning plate 61. A circular plate 63 is provided on one side of the positioning plate 61. A movable plate 64 is provided on the surface of the circular plate 63. A crossbar 65 is fixedly connected to both sides of the movable plate 64. A power device 67 is fixedly connected to one end of the crossbar 65. A fan 68 is connected to the output end of the power device 67.

[0023] The base 1 serves as the installation foundation for the entire dispensing machine 5, supporting the upright 2, crossbar 3, dispensing machine 5, and drying assembly 6, ensuring the stability of the equipment operation. The upright 2 is a vertical support component used to support the top crossbar 3, forming a frame-like frame that provides vertical installation space for the dispensing machine 5. The crossbar 3 is a horizontal guide component that provides a lateral sliding track for the slider 4, enabling the dispensing machine 5 to adjust and move horizontally. The slider 4, with its sliding connector, slides laterally along the crossbar 3, driving the dispensing machine 5 to achieve displacement in the X-axis direction, adapting to the dispensing positions of different sized sock soles. The dispensing machine 5 is the core execution component used to accurately apply anti-slip adhesive to the corresponding positions on the sock sole and shoe sole, achieving automatic dispensing operation. The positioning plate 61 is used to fix and position subsequent components such as the circular plate 63 and the movable plate 64, ensuring the stability of the drying machine. The overall structure is stable. The circular plate 63 provides an installation carrier for the movable plate 64 and can limit the movement trajectory or installation position of the movable plate 64. The movable plate 64 adjusts its own position, which drives the horizontal plates 65 on both sides and the fan 68 assembly to move synchronously, adjusting the drying angle and distance of the fan 68 to adapt to the drying needs of different dispensing areas. The horizontal plates 65 are used to connect the movable plate 64 and the power device 67, transmitting the adjustment displacement of the movable plate 64 and ensuring that the power device 67 and the fan 68 adjust synchronously with the movable plate 64. The power device 67 is a drive device that provides rotational power to the fan 68, driving the fan 68 to rotate at high speed to generate airflow. The fan 68 rotates under the drive of the power device 67, forming a directional airflow that blows towards the sole of the sock after dispensing, accelerating the evaporation of solvent in the adhesive and achieving rapid curing of the adhesive layer.

[0024] A limiting rod 41 is fixedly connected to the surface of the crossbar 3, and the dispensing machine 5 slides on the surface of the limiting rod 41.

[0025] The limiting rod 41 is fixed on the crossbar 3 to provide guidance and limit for the dispensing machine 5, limit the sliding trajectory of the dispensing machine 5, and prevent the dispensing machine 5 from swaying, shaking or deviating during movement.

[0026] Two sets of brackets 62 are fixedly connected to the other side of the positioning plate 61, and the bottom ends of the two sets of brackets 62 are connected to the surface of the base 1.

[0027] Two sets of brackets 62 are fixed on the other side of the positioning plate 61, and their bottom ends are connected to the base 1 to form a symmetrical support structure, which provides stable support for the positioning plate 61 and the entire air-drying assembly 6, and improves the overall rigidity and stability of the air-drying assembly 6 during operation.

[0028] A positioning block 66 passes through one end of the horizontal plate 65, and one end of the positioning block 66 is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning plate 61.

[0029] The positioning block 66 is designed to limit the range of motion of the horizontal plate 65 and prevent it from shifting during movement.

[0030] A shelf 8 is slidably connected to the surface of the base 1, and a protective pad is provided on the surface of the shelf 8.

[0031] The shelf 8 is used to place and position the thermal socks to be glued and after glue application, providing a stable processing support for the sock soles and ensuring uniform glue application.

[0032] Several anti-slip support shafts 7 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1, and a motor is installed on the back side of the circular plate 63.

[0033] Several anti-slip support shafts 7 are fixed to the bottom of the base 1, which provide support, anti-slip and shock absorption for the whole machine, preventing the equipment from slipping or shaking during dispensing and drying, and ensuring the stability of the whole machine. The motor provides rotation and swing power for the circular plate 63 or the movable plate 64, realizing automatic adjustment of the drying angle and orientation of the fan 68, and expanding the drying coverage area.

[0034] A circular groove 69 is provided on one side of the positioning plate 61, and a circular plate 63 is installed inside the circular groove 69.

[0035] The circular groove 69 on one side of the positioning plate 61 provides installation space for the circular plate 63, enabling the circular plate 63 to be embedded in the assembly, reducing the overall space occupied by the drying assembly 6, and making the structure more compact.

[0036] In summary, the base 1 serves as the installation foundation for the entire dispensing machine 5, supporting the upright 2, crossbar 3, dispensing machine 5, and drying assembly 6, ensuring the stability of the equipment operation. The upright 2 is a vertical support component used to support the top crossbar 3, forming a frame-like frame that provides vertical installation space for the dispensing machine 5. The crossbar 3 is a horizontal guide component that provides a lateral sliding track for the slider 4, enabling the dispensing machine 5 to adjust and move horizontally. The slider 4 is a sliding connector that slides laterally along the crossbar 3, driving the dispensing machine 5 to achieve displacement in the X-axis direction, adapting to the dispensing positions of different sized sock soles. The core execution component of the dispensing machine 5 is used to accurately apply the anti-slip adhesive to the corresponding position on the sock sole, realizing automatic dispensing operation. The rotation of the circular plate 63 can drive the movable plate 64 to shake, and in combination with the use of the positioning block 66 and the crossbar 65, it can be converted into left and right swinging, thereby expanding the working range of the fan 68, forming a directional airflow, blowing towards the dispensed sock sole, accelerating the evaporation of solvent in the adhesive, and realizing rapid curing of the adhesive layer.
