This device can fix the socks for the worker, facilitating the turning of the socks. The device has a simple structure, is convenient and quick to operate, and is highly practical.

[0004] During the production of socks, a turning device is used to turn them over. However, traditional turning devices still require manual assistance and the turning speed is slow, which affects the production efficiency of socks. Therefore, it is urgent to design a sock turning device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sock turning device to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A sock turning device includes a box frame assembly. A material conveying component is bolted to the top outer wall of the box frame assembly. Two limiting components are provided on one side outer wall of the box frame assembly. The box frame assembly includes a profile frame. A sliding groove is formed on one side outer wall of the profile frame, and a sliding block is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. An air blowing flat tube is bolted to the top side outer wall of the sliding block. A connecting pipe is inserted into the bottom side outer wall of the sliding block, and the connecting pipe communicates with the air blowing flat tube. An installation groove is formed on the top side outer wall of the profile frame, and a lead screw motor is bolted to the bottom of the inner wall of the installation groove. The output end of the lead screw motor is threadedly connected to the sliding block. A pump body is bolted to one side of the inner wall of the profile frame, and the other end of the connecting pipe is inserted into the air outlet of the pump body.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer walls on both sides of the profile frame are provided with mounting grooves, and a smooth rod is installed on one side of the inner wall of the mounting groove by bolts.

[0009] Furthermore, a second drive motor is bolted to one side of the inner wall of the profile frame, and a gear is mounted on the output end of the second drive motor via a flat key, the gear being located inside the mounting groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a sliding plate, which is slidably connected to the outside of the light rod, and a groove is formed on one side of the outer wall of the sliding plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a rack is bolted to one side of the outer wall of the sliding plate, and the rack meshes with the gear. The rack is slidably inserted into the groove. Three rollers are mounted on one side of the outer wall of the sliding plate via bearings.

[0012] Furthermore, the material handling assembly includes a mounting frame, inside which a sliding rod is bolted, and a sliding seat is slidably connected to the outside of the sliding rod. A lifting cylinder is provided on the outer wall of one side of the top of the sliding seat, and an electric gripper is bolted to the output end of the lifting cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, a lead screw is installed inside the mounting bracket via a bearing, and the lead screw is threadedly connected to the sliding seat. A drive motor is installed on one side of the outer wall of the mounting bracket via bolts, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw via a flat key.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the sock turning device provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] (1) When using this device to turn socks over, the screw motor will start, the sliding seat will slide inside the chute, the top of the air blowing flat tube will rise and contact the bottom of the sock, the pump will start, high-pressure air will flow into the connecting tube, and then the high-pressure air will be sprayed out through the air blowing flat tube. Then the sock will be subjected to a large impact, and then the sock will move upward to turn over. This process does not require manual assistance, quickly realizes the turning of socks, and improves the production efficiency of socks.

[0016] (2) When the device is used to turn socks over, the drive motor will start when the socks picked up by the material conveying component are transported to the air blowing tube position. Then the gear will drive the two racks to move, so that the two limiting components move towards each other, so that the limiting components limit the sides of the socks and prevent the socks from moving in other directions when they are turned over. This makes the socks only able to turn over upwards, which greatly improves the efficiency of turning socks over.

[0017] (3) Through the set material conveying components, during the sock production process, the lifting cylinder is started, and the electric gripper will approach the socks sewn in the workshop.
