[0027] This embodiment discloses a socks conveying device, referring to Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes a support seat 1, a movable seat 5, a telescopic driver 9, a conveying roller 2, a conveying roller 3 and a rotating driver 8. This part of the components is supported by the support seat 1, and the movable seat 5 is arranged above the support seat 1. The telescopic driver 9 can drive the movable seat 5 to move up and down relative to the support seat 1.

[0028] The rotary driver 8 is a motor, fixedly mounted on the support seat 1, and has a rotary drive shaft 81 that can actively rotate. The conveying roller 1 2 and the conveying roller 2 3 are respectively mounted on the support seat 1 and the movable seat 5. When the movable seat 5 moves up and down, the conveying roller 1 2 and the conveying roller 2 3 can be relatively adjusted up and down, so that the conveying roller 1 2 and the conveying roller 2 3 can clamp the sock body.

[0029] Among them, the conveying roller 1 2 includes a first end 21 and a second end 22, the first end 21 of the conveying roller 1 2 is connected to the rotating drive shaft 81, and the second end 22 of the conveying roller 1 2 is suspended; the conveying roller 2 3 is arranged in parallel with the conveying roller 1 2, and the conveying roller 2 3 includes a third end 31 and a fourth end 32, the third end 31 of the conveying roller 2 3 is rotatably connected to the movable seat 5, and the fourth end 32 of the conveying roller 2 3 is suspended. A clamping space 4 is formed between the conveying roller 1 2 and the conveying roller 2 3, and the sock body can be clamped in the clamping space 4. After the movable seat 5 descends, the conveying roller 2 3 and the conveying roller 1 2 are close to each other, and the sock body in the clamping space 4 can be clamped, and then the rotating drive shaft 81 is driven to rotate by the rotating driver 8, thereby driving the sock body to move, so as to realize the sock body conveying.

[0030] An opening 43 is formed between the second end 22 of the conveying roller 1 2 and the fourth end 32 of the conveying roller 2 3 . The opening 43 is connected to the clamping space 4 . The sock can enter the clamping space 4 from the opening 43 , which is conducive to the clamping and conveying action of the sock.

[0031] In order to improve the stability of the clamping of the conveying roller 1 2 and the conveying roller 2 3, the movable seat 5 has a guide slide mechanism on one side and a telescopic driver 1 9 on the other side, which can form two lifting support points for the movable seat 5. The guide slide mechanism includes a guide slide rod 10 and a guide slide block 11 that are adapted to each other. The upper end of the guide slide rod 10 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 5, and the guide slide block 11 is fixedly connected to the support seat 1. The guide slide block 11 and the guide slide rod 10 can realize the guide slide action. The telescopic driver 1 9 is a cylinder, which is installed on the support seat 1. It has a telescopic driving end 1 91, which is connected to the movable seat 5, and can further adjust and drive the movable seat 5 up and down, and can maintain the stable lifting action of the movable seat 5.

[0032] In the sock conveying device, the outer diameter of the conveying roller 1 2 is larger than the outer diameter of the conveying roller 2 3, and an anti-skid layer is provided on the outer periphery of the conveying roller 1 2. The anti-skid layer can be a rubber layer, which can play a certain buffering role and maintain a stable friction force when the socks are clamped to avoid slipping. In addition, at the second end 22 of the conveying roller 1 2 and the fourth end 32 of the conveying roller 2 3, cone-shaped shrinkages are respectively formed to facilitate the sock body to enter the clamping space 4.

[0033] In addition, the sock conveying device further comprises a stopper 7 and a second telescopic driver 71, wherein the stopper 7 is located near the opening 43 of the clamping space 4 and can be moved up and down by the second telescopic driver 71. During the up and down movement, the stopper 7 has a first position and a second position, wherein the first position is located above the second position.

[0034] When the limiting member 7 is at the first position, it can block the sock body in the clamping space 4 and form a blockage near the opening 43 to prevent the sock body from escaping from the clamping space 4 through the clamping opening 43 during transportation.

[0035] When the stopper 7 is at the second position, the opening 43 of the clamping space 4 can be opened, so that the sock can enter the clamping space 4. At the second position, the uppermost end of the stopper 7 is not higher than the upper circumference of the conveying roller 2. From a horizontal direction, when the sock enters from the opening 43, the stopper 7 will not have a blocking effect on the sock, thereby improving the stability of the conveying action of the sock.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the clamping space 4 has an input side 41 and an output side 42. The left side of the conveying roller 2 in the figure is the input side 41, and the right side is the output side 42. The upper side of the conveying roller 2 can rotate from the output side 42 to the output side 42, that is, rotate clockwise.

[0037] The limiting member 7 is located at the input side 41 of the clamping space 4, and can limit the sock body at the input side 41, so that the sock body can be clamped by the conveying roller 1 2 and the conveying roller 2 3 during the conveying process, thereby improving the movement stability of the equipment.

[0038] Specifically, the support seat 1 is fixedly connected to the input side 41 of the clamping space 4, and the second telescopic driver 71 is fixedly connected to the support seat 1 through the bracket 6, and the second telescopic driving end 711 of the second telescopic driver 71 faces upward and can be adjusted up and down. The limiter 7 is installed on the second telescopic driving end 711, and then the limiter 7 is adjusted by the second telescopic driver 71 so that it can be adjusted at the first position and the second position. Specifically, the second telescopic driver 71 is at the maximum stroke of upward adjustment, and the limiter 7 is in the first position, and the second telescopic driver 71 is at the maximum stroke of downward adjustment, and the limiter 7 is in the second position.

[0039] In addition, the height of the second telescopic driver 71 relative to the bracket 6 can be adjusted, and the overall travel range of the limiter 7 can be adjusted by fine-tuning the second telescopic driver 71 up and down as a whole. A mounting hole can be opened at the corresponding position of the bracket 6, and the mounting hole has an internal thread; and the outer shell of the second telescopic driver 71 has an external thread, which is installed on the limiter 7 through a thread structure and fixed by a fastener. When adjusting, the second telescopic driver 71 and the limiter 7 can be adjusted to rise and fall as a whole by rotating the thread.

[0040] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the sock conveying device also includes a base 12, a slide rail 13, a slide seat 14, a telescopic drive three 15 and a telescopic drive four 16. Through the structure of this part, the support seat 1 can be lifted and lowered and moved horizontally as a whole, so that the conveying roller 1 2 and the conveying roller 2 3 can move as a whole, which is convenient for the clamping and conveying action of the sock body.

[0041] Specifically, the slide 14 is slidably connected to the base 12 via the slide rail 13, and the telescopic driver 416 is used to drive the slide 14 to slide back and forth along the slide rail 13; and the slide rail 13 is parallel to the axial direction of the conveying roller 2, and when the support seat 1 slides following the slide 14, the opening 43 of the clamping space 4 can be directed toward the sock body, so that the sock body can partially enter the range of the clamping space 4, and the sock body can be smoothly clamped and conveyed. The telescopic driver 416 can also be a cylinder, and the telescopic driver 416 has a telescopic driving end 4161, and the telescopic action of the telescopic driving end 4161 drives the sliding action of the slide 14.

[0042] The support seat 1 can slide up and down relative to the slide seat 14 and can be driven by the telescopic driver 3 15. The telescopic driver 3 15 can also be a cylinder. The telescopic driver 3 15 has a telescopic driving end 3 151. The telescopic action of the telescopic driving end 3 151 drives the support seat 1 to move up and down. The telescopic driver 3 15 can not only telescopically drive, but also guide the support seat 1 up and down, thereby maintaining a more stable adjustment action of the support seat 1 and improving the operational stability of the equipment. By adjusting the support seat 1 up and down, the conveying device can be lowered when not in use, reducing the occupied space and facilitating the normal use of the sock machine equipment.

[0043] This embodiment also discloses a sock machine, including a needle cylinder and a sock conveying device as in the above embodiment. The sock body is woven in the needle cylinder. After the weaving is completed, the sock body is pulled out of the needle cylinder by a grasping device (for example, a robotic arm, etc.) and moved to a subsequent processing structure.

[0044] When the length of the sock is long, the end of the sock cannot be completely pulled out, and part of the sock is still in the syringe. At this time, the sock conveying device can be used to clamp and convey the sock, and the sock is completely pulled out of the syringe. The sock can smoothly enter the next production process for further processing.

[0045] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
