Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sock production technology, specifically to an antistatic treatment device for socks. Background Technology

[0002] Socks are small garments that cover the feet, usually made of materials such as cotton, wool, nylon, and polyester. Their main functions include: protecting the feet from friction, abrasion, cuts, and other injuries; wicking away moisture to keep feet dry and prevent bacterial growth; providing warmth in cold environments; offering comfort and reducing foot fatigue; and being fashionable, as socks can also serve a decorative purpose as part of clothing.

[0003] The main methods for antistatic treatment of socks are as follows: chemical treatment, which involves treating socks with antistatic agents, with common methods including soaking and coating; blending or embedding conductive fibers, which achieves antistatic effects by blending or embedding conductive fibers in the socks; and chemical modification of fibers, which gives the fibers themselves antistatic properties through chemical modification.

[0004] Different antistatic treatment methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. Chemical treatment is simple to operate but has poor durability, blended conductive fibers have a long-lasting effect but are expensive, and chemical modification of fibers requires complex processes. Among these, the chemical soaking method is widely used because it is low in cost and has good practical effect. However, chemically soaked socks may not be completely soaked. If the soaking time is increased to achieve complete soaking, it will affect the quality of the socks. In addition, chemically soaked socks feel stiff and have a poor user experience. Therefore, an antistatic treatment device for socks has been designed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an antistatic treatment device for socks to solve the technical problems of defects in traditional static removal methods.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an antistatic treatment device for socks, comprising a main body, wherein a plurality of sliding grooves are provided at the top of the main body, and sliders are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves; a plurality of fitting molds are installed on the bottom surface of each slider; a plurality of holes are provided on the surface of each fitting mold; a spraying device is installed at the middle position inside the main body, and the nozzles of the spraying device are distributed on both sides of each fitting mold; a drying device is installed at the end position inside the main body, and the output end of the drying device is located on both sides of each fitting mold; the liquid sprayed inside the fitting mold is a sodium hexametaphosphate solution, and the liquid sprayed from the nozzles of the spraying device is a cationic surfactant.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the socks to be treated are placed on a molding die. Then, an antistatic sodium hexametaphosphate solution flows out from the holes of the molding die, thus soaking the entire sock. Compared with the traditional soaking method, where the socks cannot be completely soaked due to the surface tension of the liquid and the influence of tiny air layers, the diffusion-type soaking method starting from the inside not only completely soaks the socks but also saves solution. The fully soaked socks are moved along the chute by a slider to the spraying device, where the spraying device sprays fabric softener onto the surface of the socks, so that the socks remain soft after treatment. The fabric softener also forms a protective film, restricting the antistatic components inside the socks, thereby improving the durability of the socks' antistatic performance. Finally, the molding die carries the fully soaked socks to the drying device for final drying.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that two sets of guide plates are provided below the inner front end of the main body, and a recycling trough is provided at the bottom of each set of guide plates, and the two recycling troughs are respectively matched with the mold and the spraying device.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the solution dripping from the surface of the socks will enter the recycling tank through the guide plate, and will be purified and recycled for reuse later.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a rotating motor is installed inside the main body below the drying device, and a plurality of limiting blocks that cooperate with the mold are rotatably connected to the top of the rotating motor. Each limiting block has a limiting wheel that cooperates with the mold rotatably connected to its top surface. The output end of the rotating motor is connected to the limiting wheel. Each limiting block is connected to the rotating motor with a spring piece.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, under the action of the spring sheet, the limiting wheel on the limiting block will make close contact with the socks on the fitting mold. After drying is completed, the rotating motor starts, the limiting wheel rotates, and the socks are removed from the fitting mold. Then the slider drives the fitting mold to retract and start a new round of work.

[0012] The present invention is further provided that a storage groove is provided inside the main body below the rotating motor.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, socks that fall off the mold will fall into the collection trough through the gaps in the rotating motor and wait for subsequent centralized processing.

[0014] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0015] This invention utilizes a sodium hexametaphosphate solution flowing through holes in a mold to thoroughly soak the entire sock. Compared to traditional soaking methods, where the sock cannot be completely soaked due to the surface tension of the liquid and the influence of tiny air layers, this diffusion-style soaking method, starting from the inside, not only completely soaks the sock but also saves solution. The fully soaked sock is moved along a chute by a slider to a spraying device, which sprays fabric softener onto the surface of the sock. This ensures that the sock remains soft after treatment, and the fabric softener forms a protective film that restricts the anti-static components inside the sock, thereby improving the durability of the sock's anti-static performance.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0023] An antistatic treatment device for socks, such as Figure 1-4As shown, the device includes a main body 1. Several grooves 2 are formed at the top of the main body 1, and sliders 3 are slidably connected inside the grooves 2. Several fitting molds 4 are mounted on the bottom surface of each slider 3, and several holes are formed on the surface of each fitting mold 4. A spraying device 5 is installed at the middle position inside the main body 1, with nozzles of the spraying device 5 distributed on both sides of each fitting mold 4. A drying device 6 is installed at the end position inside the main body 1, with the output ends of the drying device 6 located on both sides of each fitting mold 4. The liquid sprayed from inside the fitting mold 4 is a sodium hexametaphosphate solution, and the liquid sprayed from the nozzles of the spraying device 5 is a cationic surfactant. The socks to be treated are placed on the fitting mold 4, followed by the removal of static electricity by the sodium hexametaphosphate solution. The solution flows out from the holes of the mold 4, thus soaking the entire sock. Compared with the traditional soaking method, where the sock cannot be completely soaked due to the surface tension of the liquid and the influence of tiny air layers, the diffusion-type soaking method starting from the inside can not only completely soak the sock but also save solution. The fully soaked sock moves along the slide 2 to the spraying device 5 via the slider 3. The spraying device 5 sprays the fabric softener onto the surface of the sock, so that the sock remains soft after treatment. The fabric softener also forms a protective film, which restricts the anti-static components inside the sock, thereby improving the durability of the sock's anti-static performance. Finally, the mold 4 carries the fully soaked sock to the drying device 6 for final drying.

[0024] Two sets of guide plates 7 are provided at the lower front end of the main body 1, and a recycling tank 8 is provided at the bottom of each set of guide plates 7. The two recycling tanks 8 are respectively matched with the mold 4 and the spraying device 5. The solution dripping from the surface of the sock will enter the recycling tank 8 through the guide plate 7, and will be purified and recycled for reuse later.

[0025] Inside the main body 1, below the drying device 6, a rotary motor 12 is installed. Several limiting blocks 10 that cooperate with the fitting mold 4 are rotatably connected to the top of the rotary motor 12. Each limiting block 10 has a limiting wheel 9 that cooperates with the fitting mold 4 rotatably connected to its top surface. The output end of the rotary motor 12 is connected to the limiting wheel 9. A spring piece 11 is connected between each limiting block 10 and the rotary motor 12. Under the action of the spring piece 11, the limiting wheel 9 on the limiting block 10 will make close contact with the socks on the fitting mold 4. When drying is completed, the rotary motor 12 starts, the limiting wheel 9 rotates, and the socks are removed from the fitting mold 4. Then the slider 3 drives the fitting mold 4 to retract and start a new round of work.

[0026] Inside the main body 1, below the rotating motor 12, there is a storage slot 13. Socks that fall off the mold 4 will fall into the storage slot 13 through the gap of the rotating motor 12 and wait for subsequent centralized processing.

[0027] Working principle: The socks to be treated are placed on the mold 4. Then, an antistatic sodium hexametaphosphate solution flows out from the holes of the mold 4, thus soaking the entire sock. Compared to traditional soaking methods, where the socks cannot be completely soaked due to the surface tension of the liquid and the influence of tiny air layers, this diffusion-type soaking method from the inside not only completely soaks the socks but also saves solution. The fully soaked socks are moved along the chute 2 by the slider 3 to the spraying device 5. The spraying device 5 sprays fabric softener onto the surface of the socks, ensuring that the socks remain soft after treatment. Furthermore, the fabric softener forms a protective film, limiting the antistatic components inside the socks. The process improves the durability of the antistatic properties of the socks. During this process, the solution dripping from the surface of the socks will enter the recycling tank 8 through the guide plate 7, and will be purified and recycled for reuse later. Finally, the fitting mold 4 carries the fully soaked socks to the drying device 6 for final drying. After drying, the rotating motor 12 starts. At this time, under the action of the spring piece 11, the limiting wheel 9 on the limiting block 10, which is in close contact with the socks on the fitting mold 4, rotates, causing the socks to detach from the fitting mold 4 and fall into the storage tank 13 through the gap of the rotating motor 12 for subsequent centralized processing. Then, the slider 3 drives the fitting mold 4 to retract and start a new round of work.
