Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sock processing equipment technology, specifically to an anti-wrinkle mechanism for a sock turning device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Socks are clothing accessories worn close to the skin. Although small, they serve multiple functions such as protecting the feet, improving comfort, and adding style. In the sock production process, turning socks inside out is an important step. The traditional way of turning socks inside out mainly relies on manual operation. Workers need to manually turn each sock inside out one by one. This method is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also makes it difficult to ensure the consistency of the turning quality.

[0003] Existing mechanical sock turning devices lack an effective fixing mechanism during the turning process, and the sock body is prone to irregular twisting, folding or piling under the action of airflow or mechanical thrust. After most traditional socks are turned, they need to be manually removed from the device, which increases the workload of workers and reduces the overall production efficiency. To address this, an anti-wrinkle mechanism for sock turning devices and its usage method are proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an anti-wrinkle mechanism for a sock turning device and its usage method, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an anti-wrinkle mechanism for a sock turning device, comprising an operating table, a feeding component on one side of the operating table, and a sock body to be turned on one side of the feeding component; The feeding assembly is provided with a storage rack on one side, and the storage rack is connected to a first connecting pipe and a second connecting pipe at both ends. The first connecting pipe is used to evenly absorb and stretch the sock body during the turning process. The storage rack is equipped with a feeding component at the bottom, which is used to guide the sock body after it has been turned inside out to be discharged. The feeding assembly includes a turntable and a vertical plate. A number of through holes are opened on one side of the turntable, and a number of sock-turning sleeves located on one side of the through holes are fixed on one side of the turntable. Several sets of first electric push rods are fixed on one side of the turntable, and the push rod ends of the first electric push rods are fixed with clamps located on the outside of the sock body. A guide rod and an electric cylinder are fixed to one side of the vertical plate, and a limit block is fixed to the outside of the guide rod.

[0006] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixed to one side of the top of the operating table, and the end of the guide rod away from the vertical plate is rotatably connected to one side of the fixing plate, and the opening end of the sock body is adapted to the outside of the sock tube.

[0007] Preferably, each group has two first electric push rods, and the two first electric push rods are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the sock tube. When the push rod end of the first electric push rod extends, the clamp is in a clamping state on the sock body; when the push rod end of the first electric push rod retracts, the clamp is in a released state on the sock body.

[0008] Preferably, the turntable is slidably connected to the outside of the guide rod and the limiting block at its axis, the push rod end of the electric cylinder is fixed to one side of the turntable, the top of the operating table is provided with a connecting groove, and the turntable is located inside the connecting groove.

[0009] Preferably, a motor and a gear reducer are fixed to the top of the operating platform, the output shaft of the motor is fixed to the input shaft of the gear reducer, and the output shaft of the gear reducer is fixed to one side of the vertical plate. An electric slip ring is sleeved on the outer side of the output shaft end of the gear reducer. The fixed end of the electric slip ring is fixed to one side of the gear reducer, and the rotating end of the electric slip ring is fixed to one side of the vertical plate. The output end of the electric slip ring is electrically connected to the input end of the electric cylinder and the first electric push rod, respectively.

[0010] Preferably, a support frame fixed to the bottom of the storage rack is fixed on one side of the top of the operating table, and a storage box located on the lower side of the storage rack is provided inside the support frame. The first connecting tube is adapted to the through hole and the inside of the folded sock tube.

[0011] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a second electric push rod, and a baffle is hinged to the push rod end of the second electric push rod; A sealing ring is fixed around the top of the baffle, and the sealing ring is used to seal the gap between the baffle and the storage rack.

[0012] Preferably, the storage rack has a storage cavity on its inner side, which is used to store the sock body after it has been turned inside out; A limiting groove is provided on one side of the bottom of the support frame, and the second electric push rod is hinged to the inside of the limiting groove.

[0013] Preferably, a filter screen is installed at the air inlet end of the second connecting pipe, and a centrifugal fan is provided at the bottom of the operating table, with the air inlet end of the centrifugal fan connected to the air outlet end of the second connecting pipe; A switch assembly is installed on the top of the control panel, and the output terminals of the switch assembly are electrically connected to the input terminals of the motor, the slip ring, the second electric push rod, and the centrifugal fan, respectively.

[0014] The present invention also provides a method for using the anti-wrinkle mechanism of the sock turning device, comprising the following steps: S1. Align the open end of the sock body to be turned inside out with the sock tube, and manually slip it completely over the outside of the sock tube, with the toe facing the through hole. S2. Press the corresponding button of the switch group. The two first electric push rods symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sock tube will extend at the same time, driving the clamping plate to move towards the center. The clamping force applied by the clamping plate is set to 15-25N. The clamping plate fixes the sock body on the outside of the sock tube. S3. Start the motor. The power is transmitted to the vertical plate after being reduced in speed and torque by the gear reducer. The vertical plate drives the turntable to rotate. The turntable rotates 90 degrees each time. S4. The electric cylinder push rod extends out and pushes the turntable to slide along the guide rod axis. The electric cylinder push stroke is about 50-80mm, so that the pipe opening of the first connecting tube is inserted into the inside of the sock tube and the through hole, and forms a preliminary sealing contact with the inner wall of the sock body. S5. Control the negative pressure airflow generated by the start of the centrifugal fan, and at the same time, the push rod end of the first electric push rod retracts, the clamp loosens the outer side of the sock body, and the toe of the sock body is sucked into the first connecting pipe. S6. After being turned inside out, the main body of the sock enters the storage chamber inside the storage rack with the airflow. After the sock enters the storage chamber, the power of the centrifugal fan is reduced, and the push rod end of the second electric push rod is retracted. The baffle flips downward around the hinge point, with a flip angle of about 45-60 degrees, forming a slope. S7. Under the influence of gravity, the socks, after being turned inside out, slide off the bottom of the storage rack and fall into the storage box below.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention, employing the above technical solution, has the following technical effects: The first electric push rods located on both sides of the sock-turning tube drive the clamps to press the outer surface of the sock body, fixing the sock body onto the sock-turning tube. Under the power of the motor, the sock-turning tube, which contains the sock body, rotates to a position directly opposite the first connecting pipe. The electric cylinder pushes the turntable to slide axially along the guide rod. The opening of the first connecting pipe is inserted into the through hole and enters the inside of the sock-turning tube. The centrifugal fan draws air from inside the storage rack through the second connecting pipe, generating a uniform and stable negative pressure airflow at the front end of the first connecting pipe. As the sock moves with the airflow in the pipe, the inner and outer surfaces flip under the negative pressure, quickly completing the flipping action. During the flipping process, the suction force draws the unopened end of the sock body into the inside of the pipe and stretches the sock body axially, effectively eliminating the accumulation of wrinkles in the sock body, making the flipped sock body smoother and meeting the requirements of subsequent processing or use.

[0016] After being flipped over, the sock body is carried by the airflow through the first connecting pipe into the storage cavity inside the storage rack. The pusher end of the second electric push rod retracts, causing the baffle that is hinged to it to flip downwards around the hinge point. The flipped and sorted sock body slides down the slope of the baffle under the action of gravity and finally falls into the storage box placed inside the support frame and located below the storage rack. This realizes the collection of the sock body without the need for manual operation to retrieve the sock body, thus improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Example Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides a technical solution: a wrinkle-resistant mechanism for a sock turning device, including an operating table 1, a feeding component 5 on one side of the operating table 1, a sock body 4 to be turned on one side of the feeding component 5; a storage rack 9 on one side of the feeding component 5, with a first connecting pipe 7 and a second connecting pipe 10 respectively connected to both ends of the storage rack 9, the first connecting pipe 7 being used to uniformly absorb and stretch the sock body 4 during the turning process; The storage rack 9 has a feeding assembly 6 at its bottom, which guides the sock body 4 after it has been turned inside out to be discharged. A motor 2 and a gear reducer 3 are fixed to the top of the operating table 1. The output shaft of the motor 2 is fixed to the input shaft of the gear reducer 3, and the output shaft of the gear reducer 3 is fixed to one side of the vertical plate 55. The motor 2 drives the gear reducer 3 to reduce speed and increase torque, transmitting power to the vertical plate 55, which in turn rotates the turntable 51 around the guide rod 52. The rotation angle of the turntable 51 is precisely controlled to 90 degrees each time, achieving a step-by-step switching of the sock body 4. An electric slip ring is sleeved on the outer side of the output shaft end of the gear reducer 3. The fixed end of the electric slip ring is fixed to one side of the gear reducer 3, and the rotating end of the electric slip ring is fixed to one side of the vertical plate 55. The output end of the electric slip ring is electrically connected to the input end of the electric cylinder 53 and the first electric push rod 58 respectively. During rotation, the electric slip ring ensures that the rotating parts are continuously energized.

[0023] The feeding assembly 5 includes a turntable 51 and a vertical plate 55. Several through holes 54 are opened on one side of the turntable 51, and several sock sleeves 510 located on one side of the through holes 54 are fixed on one side of the turntable 51. Several sets of first electric push rods 58 are fixed on one side of the turntable 51. The push rod end of the first electric push rod 58 is fixed with a clamping plate 59 located on the outside of the sock body 4. The first electric push rod 58 applies a clamping force of 15-25N to firmly clamp the sock body 4 on the outside of the sock sleeve 510. A guide rod 52 and an electric cylinder 53 are fixed on one side of the vertical plate 55. A limit block 56 is fixed on the outside of the guide rod 52. A fixing plate 57 is fixed on one side of the top of the operating table 1. The end of the guide rod 52 away from the vertical plate 55 is rotatably connected to the side of the fixing plate 57. The opening end of the sock body 4 is adapted to the outside of the sock turning tube 510. The operator aligns the opening end of the sock body 4 to be turned with the sock turning tube 510 of the feeding assembly 5 and manually puts the sock opening on the outside of the sock turning tube 510, ensuring that the sock toe faces the through hole 54 of the turntable 51. At this time, the sock body 4 is in a naturally stretched state. There are two first electric push rods 58 in each group. The two first electric push rods 58 are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the sock turning tube 510. When the push rod end of the first electric push rod 58 extends, the clamping plate 59 is in a clamping state on the sock body 4. When the push rod end of the first electric push rod 58 retracts, the clamping plate 59 is in a loosening state on the sock body 4.

[0024] The turntable 51 is slidably connected to the outer side of the guide rod 52 and the limiting block 56 at its axis. The push rod end of the electric cylinder 53 is fixed to one side of the turntable 51. A connecting groove is provided on the top of the operating table 1, and the turntable 51 is located inside the connecting groove. A support frame 8 is fixed to the bottom of the storage rack 9 on one side of the top of the operating table 1. A storage box 12 located under the storage rack 9 is provided inside the support frame 8. The first connecting pipe 7 is adapted to the inner side of the through hole 54 and the sock turning tube 510. The centrifugal fan 13 is started, and negative pressure airflow is generated in the first connecting pipe 7 through the second connecting pipe 10 and the storage rack 9. The first electric push rod 58 retracts, the clamp 59 loosens the sock body 4, and under the action of the airflow, the sock toe is evenly absorbed and stretched into the inside of the first connecting pipe 7 to achieve turning.

[0025] The feeding assembly 6 includes a second electric push rod 61, with a baffle 64 hinged to the push rod end of the second electric push rod 61. Sealing rings are fixed around the top of the baffle 64, sealing the gap between the baffle 64 and the storage rack 9. A storage cavity 63 is provided inside the storage rack 9. The turned-over sock body 4 enters the storage cavity 63 of the storage rack 9 with the airflow, and the storage cavity 63 stores the turned-over sock body 4. The centrifugal fan 13 has its power reduced to minimize airflow disturbance. The push rod end of the second electric push rod 61 retracts, and the baffle 64 rotates downwards by 45-60 degrees around the hinge point, forming a ramp. A limiting groove 62 is provided on one side of the bottom of the support frame 8, and the second electric push rod 61 is hinged to the inside of the limiting groove 62.

[0026] A filter screen is installed at the air inlet end of the second connecting pipe 10. A centrifugal fan 13 is installed at the bottom of the operating table 1. The air inlet end of the centrifugal fan 13 is connected to the air outlet end of the second connecting pipe 10. Under the action of gravity, the sorted sock body 4 slides down the slope of the baffle 64 and falls into the storage box 12 below the support frame 8, completing the entire flipping process. A switch group 11 is installed on the top of the operating table 1. The output end of the switch group 11 is electrically connected to the motor 2, the electric slip ring, the second electric push rod 61 and the input end of the centrifugal fan 13 respectively.

[0027] Working principle or structural principle: First, align the open end of the sock body 4 to be turned over with the sock-turning tube 510 on one side of the turntable 51. Manually put the sock completely over the outside of the sock-turning tube 510. At this time, the toe part of the sock is facing the through hole 54, ensuring that the open end of the sock is in close contact with the outer wall of the sock-turning tube 510.

[0028] When the operator presses the switch group 11 on the top of the control panel 1, the control system is powered on. At this time, the first electric push rod 58 located on both sides of the sock-turning tube 510 receives the signal and its push rod end extends synchronously, driving the clamp plate 59 fixed to the push rod end to move closer to the center and fix it firmly on the sock-turning tube 510 to prevent the sock from falling off during the subsequent rotation. The motor 2, which is fixed to the top of the operating table 1, starts. After the power is reduced and increased in torque by the gear reducer 3, it is transmitted to the fixedly connected vertical plate 55. Since the end of the guide rod 52 away from the vertical plate 55 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 57, the rotation of the vertical plate 55 drives the entire feeding assembly 5 to rotate 90 degrees around the axis of the guide rod 52, so that the sock-turning tube 510 with the sock body 4 is rotated to the adsorption station opposite to the first connecting tube 7. The push rod end of the electric cylinder 53 fixed on the vertical plate 55 extends out and pushes the turntable 51 to slide axially along the guide rod 52. Since the limiting block 56 fixed on the outside of the guide rod 52 constrains the sliding stroke of the turntable 51, the opening of the first connecting pipe 7 is inserted into the through hole 54 and enters the inner channel of the sock tube 510. At this time, the opening of the first connecting pipe 7 and the inner wall of the sock toe part of the sock body 4 form a preliminary sealed contact environment, which prepares for negative pressure adsorption.

[0029] The switch group 11 controls the centrifugal fan 13 to start. The centrifugal fan 13 draws air from the storage rack 9 through the second connecting pipe 10, generating a uniform and stable negative pressure airflow at the front end of the first connecting pipe 7. At this time, the push rod end of the first electric push rod 58 retracts synchronously, and the clamp 59 loosens its grip on the outside of the sock body 4. In the instant that the external mechanical clamping force is lost, the powerful negative pressure airflow acts on the closed end of the sock body 4, quickly sucking it into the pipe of the first connecting pipe 7. Since the first connecting pipe 7 is used to uniformly absorb and stretch the sock during the turning process, when the sock moves with the airflow in the pipe, its inner and outer surfaces are turned over under the action of negative pressure. That is, the outer surface that was originally on the outside of the turning sock tube 510 becomes the inner surface, completing the turning action. At the same time, the suction force sucks the unopened end of the sock body 4 into the inside of the pipe and stretches the sock body axially during the turning process, eliminating wrinkle accumulation. After the sock body 4 is turned inside out, it enters the storage cavity 63 inside the storage rack 9 through the first connecting pipe 7 with the airflow. After the sock is completely inside the storage cavity 63, the operating power of the centrifugal fan 13 is reduced to reduce airflow interference. The push rod end of the second electric push rod 61, which is hinged in the bottom limiting groove 62 of the support frame 8, retracts, causing the baffle 64, which is hinged to it, to rotate downwards by 45-60 degrees around the hinge point. The sealing ring around the top of the baffle 64 separates from the bottom of the storage rack 9 and loses its sealing support. The sock body 4, which has been turned inside out, slides smoothly down the slope formed by the inclined baffle 64 under the action of gravity and finally falls into the storage box 12 placed inside the support frame 8 and located below the storage rack 9, thus completing the entire automatic turning and anti-wrinkle operation process.

[0030] The present invention also provides a method for using the anti-wrinkle mechanism of the sock turning device, comprising the following steps: S1. Align the open end of the sock body 4 to be turned over with the sock tube 510, and manually put it completely over the outside of the sock tube 510, with the toe facing the through hole 54. S2. Press the corresponding button of switch group 11. The push rod ends of the two first electric push rods 58, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sock tube 510, extend at the same time, driving the clamping plate 59 to move towards the center. The clamping force applied by the clamping plate 59 is set to 15-25N. The clamping plate 59 fixes the sock body 4 on the outside of the sock tube 510. S3. Start motor 2. The power is reduced and increased in torque by gear reducer 3 and then transmitted to vertical plate 55. Vertical plate 55 drives turntable 51 to rotate. Turntable 51 rotates 90 degrees each time. S4. The push rod end of the electric cylinder 53 extends out, pushing the turntable 51 to slide axially along the guide rod 52. The pushing stroke of the electric cylinder 53 is about 50-80mm, so that the pipe opening of the first connecting pipe 7 is inserted into the inside of the sock sleeve 510 and the through hole 54, and forms a preliminary sealing contact with the inner wall of the sock body 4. S5. Control the negative pressure airflow generated by the start of the centrifugal fan 13. At the same time, the push rod end of the first electric push rod 58 retracts, the clamp 59 loosens the outside of the sock body 4, and the sock toe of the sock body 4 is sucked into the first connecting pipe 7. S6. After being turned inside out, the main body of the sock 4 enters the storage chamber 63 inside the storage rack 9 with the airflow. After the sock enters the storage chamber 63, the power of the centrifugal fan 13 is reduced, and the push rod end of the second electric push rod 61 is controlled to retract. The baffle 64 flips downward around the hinge point, with a flipping angle of about 45-60 degrees, forming a slope. S7. Under the influence of gravity, the sock body 4, after being turned inside out, slides off the bottom of the storage rack 9 and falls into the storage box 12 below.

[0031] In summary, the first electric push rods 58 located on both sides of the sock-turning tube 510 drive the clamping plates 59 to press the outer surface of the sock body 4, fixing the sock body 4 onto the sock-turning tube 510. Under the power of the motor 2, the sock-turning tube 510, which is fitted with the sock body 4, rotates to a position directly opposite the first connecting pipe 7. The electric cylinder 53 pushes the turntable 51 to slide axially along the guide rod 52. The opening of the first connecting pipe 7 is inserted into the through hole 54 and enters the inside of the sock-turning tube 510. The centrifugal fan 13 draws air from the storage rack 9 through the second connecting pipe 10, generating a uniform and stable negative pressure airflow at the front end of the first connecting pipe 7. When the sock moves with the airflow in the pipe, the inner and outer surfaces are flipped under the negative pressure, quickly completing the flipping action. During the flipping process, the suction force draws the unopened end of the sock body 4 into the inside of the pipe and stretches the sock body 4 axially, effectively eliminating the accumulation of wrinkles in the sock body 4, making the flipped sock body 4 flatter and meeting the requirements of subsequent processing or use.

[0032] After being flipped over, the sock body 4 is smoothly carried by the airflow through the first connecting pipe 7 into the storage cavity 63 inside the storage rack 9. The push rod end of the second electric push rod 61 is retracted, causing the baffle 64, which is hinged to it, to flip downwards around the hinge point. The flipped sock body 4 slides down the slope of the baffle 64 under the action of gravity and finally falls into the storage box 12 placed inside the support frame 8 and located below the storage rack 9. This realizes the collection of the sock body 4 without the need for manual operation to retrieve the sock body 4, thus improving production efficiency.
