Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sock processing technology, and in particular to a sock turning machine. Background Technology

[0002] A sock-turning machine is a device used in the sock production process to turn the inside of a sock to the outside and vice versa.

[0003] In related technologies, a sock-turning machine includes a tube and an air pump. When in use, the open end of the sock is attached to one end of the tube, and the suction of the air pump can suck the sock into the tube and discharge it from the other end of the tube to the ground. Workers still need to bend over to pick up the socks on the ground, which is quite inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to address the aforementioned problems existing in the prior art by proposing a sock-turning machine.

[0005] This application can be achieved through the following technical solution: a sock-turning machine, comprising a suction tube, a drive device, and a sensing module. The suction tube is used to place a sock on top of the machine, and the suction tube can attract the sock, causing it to enter the suction tube. The drive device is used to drive the suction tube to move linearly, so that the sock can detach from the suction tube, and the moving distance of the suction tube is greater than the length of the sock placed on the suction tube. The sensing module controls the drive device to drive the suction tube to move linearly when the sock is placed on the suction tube.

[0006] In the above technical solution, the opening end of the sock is first put onto the suction tube, and then a person holds the part of the sock that is put onto the suction tube. The driving device can drive the suction tube to slide and the suction tube sucks the sock toe into the suction tube. At this time, the part of the sock held in the hand does not move, while the sock toe will be turned over and detached from the tube.

[0007] Furthermore, the suction tube includes an air pump and a tube body for contacting the sock, the air pump being able to suck the sock into the tube body.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the air extraction port of the air extractor is connected to the inside of the pipe, and the air extractor can provide airflow to the inside of the pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a frame, and the drive device includes a guide rod mounted on the frame, a lead screw aligned with the length direction of the guide rod, a motor for driving the lead screw to rotate, and a synchronization block threadedly connected to the lead screw. The tube body is mounted on the synchronization block, and the synchronization block is slidably connected to the guide rod.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, and the rotation of the lead screw can drive the synchronous block to slide linearly.

[0011] Furthermore, the synchronization block is fitted onto the tube body to fix the position of the tube body relative to the synchronization block.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the synchronization block and the tube body can be tightly fitted, thereby fixing the position of the tube body relative to the synchronization block.

[0013] Furthermore, the tube is connected to the vacuum pump via a flexible hose.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the hose can connect the air extraction port of the air pump to the inside of the pipe body.

[0015] Furthermore, the hose is a corrugated pipe.

[0016] In the above technical solutions, compared with the use of ordinary hoses, corrugated pipes, due to their own structural characteristics, can reduce stress concentration when bending, reduce material fatigue and damage, and have a longer service life.

[0017] Furthermore, the bottom of the frame is rotatably equipped with several brake casters.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the brake casters facilitate the movement of the frame.

[0019] Furthermore, the sensing module includes a space sensor and a controller. The space sensor corresponds to one end of the sock suction tube used to cover the sock. The controller is electrically connected to the space sensor, the driving device, and the sock suction tube. The space sensor can be either a proximity sensor or a distance sensor.

[0020] In the above technical solution, the empty space sensor can detect whether a sock is covered on the tube. When a sock is covered on the tube, the controller can control the vacuum pump and drive device to perform subsequent actions.

[0021] In summary, this application has the following technical effects: First, one end of the sock opening is put onto the suction tube, and then a person holds the part of the sock that is put onto the suction tube. The driving device can drive the suction tube to slide and the suction tube sucks the sock toe into the suction tube. At this time, the part of the sock held in the hand does not move, while the sock toe will be turned over and detached from the tube. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Please refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figure 1 One embodiment of this application provides a sock-turning machine, including a frame 8. A drive device 2 is mounted on the frame 8. The drive device 2 includes two guide rods 21 mounted on the frame 8, a lead screw 22 rotatably mounted on the frame 8 along the length direction of the guide rods 21, and a motor 23 for driving the lead screw 22 to rotate. A synchronizing block 24 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 22, and the synchronizing block 24 is slidably connected to the guide rods 21. A sock-suction tube 1 is mounted on the frame 8. The sock-suction tube 1 includes an air extractor 11 mounted on the frame and a tube body 12 mounted on the synchronizing block 24. The axial direction of the tube body 12 is aligned with the length direction of the lead screw 22. The end of the tube body 12 facing away from the ground is used to cover the opening of the sock. The end of the tube body 12 near the ground is connected to the air intake of the air extractor 11 through a hose 5. The end of the tube body 12 near the ground is detachably mounted on the synchronizing block 24. A sensing module 3 is provided on the side of the tube body 12. When a person holds the part of the sock that is on the tube body 12, the sensing module 3 can control the drive device 2 to move the tube body 12 vertically downward when the sock is on the tube body 12, so that the sock toe is sucked into the tube body 12. At this time, the part of the sock held in the hand does not move, while the sock toe will be turned over and the sock will be removed from the tube body 12.

[0026] Please refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figure 1 The flexible hose 5 is a corrugated pipe. A through hole is provided on the synchronizing block 24 for the pipe body 12 to pass through. The inner wall of the through hole can fit against the axial outer wall of the pipe body 12 everywhere. The synchronizing block 24 and the pipe body 12 are tightly fitted so that the position of the pipe body 12 relative to the synchronizing block 24 is fixed.

[0027] Please refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figure 1 Four brake casters 7 are installed at the bottom of the frame 8 to facilitate the movement of the frame 8.

[0028] Please refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figure 1 The sensing module 3 includes a space sensor 31 and a controller 32 electrically connected to the space sensor 31. The controller 32 is electrically connected to the vacuum pump 11 and the motor 23. The space sensor 31 can be either a distance sensor or a proximity sensor, and it corresponds to the end of the tube 12 that is away from the ground. In this application, the space sensor 31 is a distance sensor. When the sock is placed on the tube 12, the distance value detected by the space sensor 31 is less than or equal to a predetermined distance value. This indicates that the sock has been placed on the tube 12. At this time, the controller 32 can control the vacuum pump 11 to perform a vacuuming operation on the tube 12, and the drive device 2 drives the tube 12 to move downward so that the sock is removed from the tube 12. Otherwise, the motor 23 and the vacuum pump 11 will not operate.

[0029] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, first put one end of the sock opening onto the end of the tube 12 that is away from the ground, and pinch the part of the sock that is on the tube 12 with your hand. At this time, the vacuum pump 11 can suck the end of the sock into the tube 12, and at the same time, the driving device 2 drives the tube 12 to slide vertically downward. During this process, the part of the sock that is pinched in your hand does not move, while the toe of the sock will be turned over and detached from the tube 12.

[0030] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
