[0002] When producing socks, semi-finished socks are usually produced in the needle cylinder of the sock machine first, and the sock toes are not sewn at this time. Then the semi-finished socks are taken out of the needle cylinder by a transfer device and transferred to the seam head plate. After the seam head plate is closed, the sock toes are sewn. The transfer plate sleeve barb or transfer hook, transfer needle, and transfer tooth are the accessories in the transfer device.
[0003] In the actual production process, transfer hooks are formed by stamping. The formed transfer hooks fall onto the conveyor belt and are transported through it. At this time, workers often manually take the transfer hooks out of the conveyor belt and send them to the next process for further processing. In order to save materials and improve processing efficiency, several transfer hooks are produced each time they are stamped and formed. The directions of the several transfer hooks falling on the conveyor belt are also various. Workers need to readjust the direction after taking the transfer hooks. However, as workers work for a long time, it is easy for them to place them incorrectly. Continuing to process the incorrectly placed transfer hooks will inevitably produce waste. In addition, manual material collection and loading also have problems such as leakage and low loading efficiency. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is particularly important to design an automatic loading mechanism for processing transfer hooks for sock machines. Summary of the invention
