[0026] The utility model embodiment provides a socks 3 printing printing machine, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a support platform 1 and a conveyor line 2. The conveyor line 2 is arranged on one side of the support platform 1. Socks 3 are conveyed at intervals on the conveyor line 2. The conveyor line 2 has a related conveying drive and moves forward at a determined speed. A connecting rod robot arm mechanism and a driving mechanism are provided on the support platform 1. A printing head 4 is provided on the connecting rod robot arm mechanism. A printing liquid pool 5 is provided on the support platform 1 on one side of the printing head 4. Driven by the driving mechanism, the connecting rod robot arm mechanism drives the printing head 4 to reciprocate between the printing liquid pool 5 and the surface of the socks 3 to complete the printing operation on the surface of the socks 3. For the printing process on the surface of the socks 3 after the socks 3 are formed, a printing head 4 is provided on the connecting rod robot arm mechanism. Driven by the driving mechanism, the connecting rod robot arm mechanism drives the printing head 4 to reciprocate, and cooperates with the socks 3 conveyed at equal intervals on the conveyor line 2. The printing head 4 completes the printing operation on the surface of the socks 3, which solves the problem that the surface of the socks 3 is difficult to print after it is formed, especially for temporary printing or secondary processing of some logos and small patterns.

[0027] In the above technical solution, specifically, as Figures 1-4 shown, a front support frame 6 and a rear support frame 7 are respectively arranged at the front and rear on the support platform 1. The connecting rod robot mechanism includes a left connecting rod 8, a right connecting rod 9, an upper connecting rod 10, a first rocker 11, and a second rocker 12. A collar is arranged at one end of the second rocker 12 away from the first rocker 11. A disc 14 is rotatably connected inside the collar. A driving mechanism is arranged on the rear support frame 7. The driving mechanism is a motor 13. The output end of the motor 13 is eccentrically connected to the disc 14. The lower end of the right connecting rod 9 is connected to the bottom end of the first rocker 11 and is hinged on the front support frame 6. The lower end of the left connecting rod 8 is hinged on the front support frame 6. Both ends of the upper connecting rod 10 are hinged to the upper ends of the left connecting rod 8 and the right connecting rod 9. The upper end of the first rocker 11 is hinged to one end of the second rocker 12. A support rod 15 is arranged on the upper connecting rod 10. The printing head 4 is arranged at the lower end of the support rod 15.

[0028] As Figure 5 shown, it further includes a mounting head 16. A buffer frame 17 is arranged at the lower end of the support rod 15. A buffer chamber is formed inside the buffer frame 17. A plurality of springs 18 are arranged inside the buffer chamber. The printing head 4 is slidably arranged inside the buffer chamber through the mounting head 16, so that when the printing head 4 prints on the sock 3, it can be buffered to avoid damaging the printing head 4.

[0029] Preferably, a limiting block 19 is arranged at the opening edge of the lower end of the buffer frame 17, and corresponding convex blocks 20 are arranged on both sides of the mounting head 16.

[0030] As Figure 5 shown, the printing head 4 is detachably mounted on the mounting head 16. A dovetail groove 21 is formed on the mounting head 16. A dovetail block 22 is arranged at the upper end of the printing head 4. The dovetail block 22 is slidably connected inside the dovetail groove 21, which is convenient for replacing the printing head 4 with different printing patterns.

[0031] As Figure 5 shown, a screw hole is formed on the side surface of the mounting head 16, and a bolt 23 is engaged inside the screw hole, which can fixedly mount the printing head 4 to prevent the printing head 4 from falling off.

[0032] Note: The printing machine is provided with a control system, and the control system is electrically connected to the conveying drive and the motor 13. The control system integrally controls the speed of the conveying line 2 and the rotation speed of the motor 13, so that the transportation cycle of the sock 3 matches the reciprocating cycle of the connecting rod robot mechanism.

[0033] The dye liquor in the printing liquid pool 5 can be added manually or mechanically.

[0034] Working principle: When the sock 3 printing machine is in use, as Figure 1 and 2As shown, it is the state where the connecting rod robotic arm mechanism drives the printing head 4 on one side of the support platform 1. At this time, driven by the connecting rod robotic arm mechanism, the printing head 4 descends into the printing liquid pool 5 to pick up the liquid, as Figure 3 and 4 shown, it is the state where the connecting rod robotic arm mechanism drives the printing head 4 on one side of the conveyor line 2. At this time, when the printing head 4 descends onto the conveyor line 2 driven by the connecting rod robotic arm mechanism, the conveyor line 2 just conveys the sock 3 to below the printing head 4, completing a printing process on the surface of the sock 3. This process is repeated to complete the printing on the surface of the sock 3;

[0035] Specifically, the output shaft of the motor 13 drives the disc 14 to rotate. The disc 14 drives the second rocker 12, pulling the first rocker 11 to swing reciprocally. Since the bottom end of the first rocker 11 is connected to the bottom end of the right connecting rod 9, it further drives the right connecting rod 9 to swing reciprocally. Driven by the right connecting rod 9, the left connecting rod 8 swings synchronously and reciprocally. Finally, it drives the upper connecting and support rod 15 and the printing head 4 to reciprocally descend, completing the periodic motion of liquid addition and printing. To sum up,

[0036] For this sock 3 printing machine, for the printing process on the surface of the sock 3 after the sock 3 is formed, a printing head 4 is arranged on the connecting rod robotic arm mechanism. Driven by the driving mechanism, the connecting rod robotic arm mechanism drives the printing head 4 to perform reciprocating motion. Cooperating with the socks 3 conveyed at equal intervals on the conveyor line 2, the printing head 4 completes the printing operation on the surface of the sock 3, solving the drawback that it is difficult to print on the surface of the sock 3 after the sock 3 is formed;

[0037] For this sock 3 printing machine, a buffer frame 17 is arranged at the lower end of the support rod 15. A buffer chamber is formed inside the buffer frame 17, and several springs 18 are arranged inside the buffer chamber. The printing head 4 is slidably arranged inside the buffer chamber through the mounting head 16, enabling the printing head 4 to have some buffering when printing on the sock 3 and avoiding damage to the printing head 4;

[0038] For this sock 3 printing machine, the printing head 4 is detachably mounted on the mounting head 16, facilitating the replacement of the printing head 4 with different printing patterns. At the same time, a threaded hole is opened on the side of the mounting head 16, and a bolt 23 is engaged in the threaded hole to fixedly install the printing head 4 and prevent the printing head 4 from falling.

[0039] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
