Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sock machines, and in particular relates to a socks sorting module which is convenient for discharging socks. Background Art

[0002] A sock knitting machine is a machine for knitting socks. During operation, it first knits the tubular sock body through the sock knitting mechanism, then turns the sock body over and moves it to the end of the sock tube, and the sock toe sewing operation is specifically performed by the sewing mechanism.

[0003] In the current state of the art, to prevent the sock from slipping down when being sewn onto the sock handling tube and affecting the seaming process, a clamping claw is usually installed on the outer periphery of the sock handling tube to clamp the sock onto the sock handling tube. However, the clamping claws of most sock machines cannot be raised or lowered, and are unable to push the finished sock toward the negative pressure outlet at the lower end of the sock handling tube to assist in the sock discharge after the sock is sewn. This means that the negative pressure suction outlet requires a higher negative pressure to suck the sock out, resulting in a waste of negative pressure power. Utility Model Content
