Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a sock packaging card folding mechanism, belonging to the field of automation equipment. Background Technology

[0002] After processing, socks need to be packaged. As the final and crucial step in sock manufacturing, packaging not only enhances the socks' appearance and added value but also protects them and facilitates transportation and storage. During packaging, the socks are placed inside packaging cards, which are typically flat (e.g.,...) Figure 6a As shown in the image, packaging card A is folded in half before folding. However, when packaging socks, the flat packaging card needs to be folded into a U-shape (as shown in the image). Figure 6b As shown in the image, the packaging card (B) is currently folded manually, which is inefficient and results in inconsistent crease positions. Utility Model Content

The drive shaft is engaged with the drive rod, the drive rod is hinged with the connecting rod, the connecting rod is hinged with the flat pressure rod, the flat pressure rod is hinged with the side pressure rod, and the side pressure rod passes through the drive shaft.

[0005] Furthermore, the drive rod and the connecting rod are hinged together by a first hinge axis, the connecting rod and the flat pressure rod are hinged together by a second hinge axis, and the flat pressure rod and the side pressure rod are hinged together by a third hinge axis.

[0009] Furthermore, the folding seat is provided with a folding seat stop, and a folding seat groove is formed between the folding seat stop and the folding seat.

[0010] Furthermore, the angle of the flat pressure bar limiting block is 90°, and the angle of the side pressure bar limiting groove is 180°.

[0011] Furthermore, the angle of the side pressure rod limiting block is 90°, and the angle of the folding seat limiting groove is 180°.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following advantages: The sock packaging card folding mechanism can accommodate flat structures (such as...) Figure 6a As shown, the packaging card A before folding is folded into a U-shape (as shown). Figure 6b As shown, the packaging card B) after folding can be folded without manual operation, which can improve work efficiency and reduce labor costs.

[0041] The sock packaging card folding mechanism in this embodiment includes a folding base 1 and a drive shaft 2. The drive shaft 2 is installed on the folding base 1. A folding device is provided on each of the left and right sides of the folding base 1. Both folding devices are controlled by the drive shaft 2.

[0042] The folding device in this embodiment includes a drive rod 3, a connecting rod 4, a side pressure rod 5, and a flat pressure rod 6. The drive shaft 2 is engaged with the drive rod 3. The drive rod 3 is hinged to the connecting rod 4 via a first hinge shaft 7. The connecting rod 4 is hinged to the flat pressure rod 6 via a second hinge shaft 8. The flat pressure rod 6 is hinged to the side pressure rod 5 via a third hinge shaft 9. The side pressure rod 5 is threaded through the drive shaft 2.

[0043] In this embodiment, the drive shaft 2 is provided with a drive shaft limiting groove 21, and the drive rod 3 is provided with a drive rod limiting block 31, which is located inside the drive shaft limiting groove 21.

[0044] In this embodiment, a flat pressure rod limiting block 61 is provided on the flat pressure rod 6, and a side pressure rod limiting groove 51 is provided on the side pressure rod 5. The flat pressure rod limiting block 61 and the side pressure rod limiting groove 51 cooperate with each other. The flat pressure rod limiting block 61 is arranged in a fan shape with an angle of 90°, and the side pressure rod limiting groove 51 is arranged in a semi-circular shape with an angle of 180°.

[0045] In this embodiment, a side pressure rod limiting block 52 is provided on the side pressure rod 5, and a folding seat limiting groove 11 is provided on the folding seat 1. The side pressure rod limiting block 52 cooperates with the folding seat limiting groove 11. The side pressure rod limiting block 52 is arranged in a fan shape with an angle of 90°, and the folding seat limiting groove 11 is arranged in a semi-circular shape with an angle of 180°.

[0046] In this embodiment, the folding seat 1 is provided with a folding seat block 12, and a folding seat groove 13 is formed between the folding seat block 12 and the folding seat 1.

[0047] The folding method of the sock packaging card folding mechanism in this embodiment is as follows: Before folding, the packaging card A is placed on the folding seat 1 and secured within the card slot 13 of the folding seat (e.g., ...). Figure 6a As shown), the drive shaft 2 controls one end of the drive rod 3 to rotate along the drive shaft 2, causing the other end of the drive rod 3 to drive one end of the connecting rod 4 to rotate along the first hinge shaft 7, the other end of the connecting rod 4 to drive one end of the flat pressure rod 6 to rotate along the second hinge shaft 8, the other end of the flat pressure rod 6 to drive one end of the side pressure rod 5 to rotate along the third hinge shaft 9, and the other end of the side pressure rod 5 to rotate along the drive shaft 2 (as shown). Figures 1a-5a As shown), the packaging card is folded in half by the side pressure rod 5 and the flat pressure rod 6, respectively, to the middle and upper parts. At the same time, the middle position of the packaging card is blocked by the folding seat block 12, so that it becomes a U-shaped folded packaging card B (as shown). Figure 6b As shown), rotating the drive shaft 2 in the reverse direction can remove the folded packaging card B.

[0048] During the folding process, the drive shaft 2 can be restricted from rotating by the drive shaft limiting groove 21 and the drive rod limiting block 31, so that the drive shaft 2 can drive the drive rod 3 to rotate synchronously. The flat pressure rod limiting block 61 and the side pressure rod limiting groove 51 can limit the flat pressure rod 6 to ensure that the flat pressure surface of the flat pressure rod 6 can press the packaging card onto the upper part of the folding seat block 12. The side pressure rod limiting block 52 and the folding seat limiting groove 11 can limit the side pressure rod 5 to ensure that the side pressure surface of the side pressure rod 5 can press the packaging card onto the side of the folding seat block 12.

[0049] The packaging card is flat before folding (e.g.) Figure 6a (As shown) is called packaging card A before folding. After folding, the packaging card has a U-shaped structure (as shown). Figure 6bThe card shown is called the folded packaging card B.

[0050] Furthermore, it should be noted that the specific embodiments described in this specification may differ in the shape and name of their components. The above description is merely illustrative of the structure of this utility model. All equivalent or simple variations made based on the structure, features, and principles described in this utility model patent concept are included within the protection scope of this utility model patent. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of this utility model or exceed the scope defined in these claims, all of which should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
