Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sock processing technology, and in particular to a sock removal mechanism for a sock machine. Background Technology
[0002] Pantyhose are typically produced using knitting machines. After knitting, the pantyhose are placed on a sock board and conveyed to a setting machine for shaping to ensure their shape and lifespan. After shaping, the pantyhose need to be removed from the sock board by a sock-removing mechanism. However, current technology generally involves manually removing the pantyhose from the sock board and then repeating the process with untreated pantyhose, increasing labor costs and reducing removal efficiency. To address these issues, a solution is proposed below. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sock removal mechanism for a sock machine, which has the advantages of automatic sock removal and high work efficiency.
[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A sock-removing mechanism for a sock machine includes a worktable. An electric telescopic rod is installed on the inner bottom of the worktable. A sock plate is fixed to the output shaft of the electric telescopic rod. Two sliding holes are provided at the upper end of the sock plate, and slidable sliding rods are respectively inserted into the two sliding holes. A shaping head is fixed to the upper end of each of the two sliding rods. Fixing mechanisms are respectively provided on both sides of the sock plate, and the fixing mechanisms cooperate with the sliding rods. Two rotatable shafts are inserted through the inner side of the worktable. A rotating mechanism is provided on one side of the worktable, and the rotating mechanism is connected to the rotating shafts. A rotating frame is fixed between the two rotating shafts. A groove is provided at the upper end of the rotating frame, and a [missing information - likely a design element or feature] is provided within the groove. The rotating frame has gears, and a first motor is installed at the bottom of the rotating frame. The output shaft of the first motor passes through the rotating frame and is fixedly connected to the lower end of the gear. Two slide rails are fixedly installed in the groove, and a rack is embedded in each slide rail. The two racks mesh with the gears respectively. Two connecting columns pass through the inner side of the rotating frame. A connecting rod is fixedly installed on one side of each of the two racks, and one end of the connecting column is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting rod. A support plate is fixedly installed on the other end of each of the two connecting columns. The two support plates are located on both sides of the sock plate. Slide grooves are opened on both sides of the sock plate and the shaping head, and the width of the slide grooves is equal to the width of the support plate.
[0006] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a fixing pin, recesses are provided on both sides of the sock plate, a plurality of fixing holes are provided on the two sliding rods, and the top end of the fixing pin passes through the fixing hole. A pull block is provided in the recess, and the pull block is fixedly connected to the other end of the fixing pin.
[0007] Preferably, the rotating mechanism has a worm gear and a worm, and the worm gear and the worm are meshed. A drive box is fixedly provided on one side of the worktable, and the worm gear and the worm are disposed in the drive box. One end of the rotating shaft passes through the worktable and is fixedly connected to the worm gear. A second motor is installed on one side of the drive box. The output shaft of the second motor passes through the drive shaft and is fixedly connected to one end of the worm.
[0008] Preferably, a limiting plate is fixed to one side of each of the two support plates.
[0009] Preferably, a conveyor belt assembly is provided on one side of the workbench.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] 1. First, place the socks onto the sock board, ensuring the shaping head fits snugly against the top of the sock for shaping. The height of the shaping head can be adjusted by changing the position of the sliding rod within the sliding hole. The sliding rod is then secured by a fixing mechanism, allowing the sock board and shaping head to fit most sock sizes on the market. An electric telescopic rod can then move the sock board up and down, adjusting its height. When the sock board moves downwards, it separates the socks from the board and shaping head, thus achieving initial sock removal.
[0012] 2. The rotation of the first motor drives the gears to rotate, which in turn drives two racks to slide along two slide rails in opposite directions. This causes the two connecting rods to move closer or further apart, and ultimately, the connecting columns move the two support plates closer or further apart. The initial positions of the two support plates are within the slide grooves. When the electric telescopic rod moves the sock board downwards, the two support plates slide along the slide grooves. When the sock board separates from the sock, the two support plates support the inside of the sock, and the limiting plate limits the opening of the sock, thus causing the sock to adhere to the sock board and allowing for better separation. Subsequently, the rotating mechanism drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating frame to rotate. The rotating frame then drives the two support plates to rotate. When the rotating frame rotates to the desired angle, the two connecting columns move the two support plates closer together. At this point, the inside of the sock is unsupported, and the sock falls off due to its own weight, thus completing the sock removal process. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The following description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, and the scope of protection is not limited to this embodiment. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept should be protected. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "bottom" and "top," "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a sock-removing mechanism for a sock machine includes a worktable 1. An electric telescopic rod 2 is installed on the inner bottom of the worktable 1. A sock plate 3 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the electric telescopic rod 2. Two sliding holes 4 are provided at the upper end of the sock plate 3, and slidable sliding rods 5 pass through each of the two sliding holes 4. A shaping head 6 is fixedly mounted at the upper end of each of the two sliding rods 5. Fixing mechanisms 7 are provided on both sides of the sock plate 3, and the fixing mechanisms 7 cooperate with the sliding rods 5. First, the sock is placed on the sock plate 3, and the shaping head 6 can fit snugly against the top of the sock, so that... The socks are shaped, and the height of the shaping head 6 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the slide rod 5 within the slide hole 4. Then, the slide rod 5 can be fixed by the fixing mechanism 7, so that the sock board 3 and the shaping head 6 can be used for most sizes of socks on the market. Then, the sock board 3 can be moved up and down by the electric telescopic rod 2, and the height of the sock board 3 can be adjusted by the electric telescopic rod 2. When the sock board 3 moves downward, the socks can be separated from the sock board 3 and the shaping head 6, thus achieving the initial removal of socks.
[0020] The fixing mechanism 7 includes a fixing pin 20. The two sides of the sock plate 3 are respectively provided with recessed holes 21. Several fixing holes 22 are respectively opened on the two sliding rods 5, and the top end of the fixing pin 20 passes through the fixing hole 22. A pull block 23 is provided in the recessed hole 21, and the pull block 23 is fixedly connected to the other end of the fixing pin 20. By pulling the pull block 23, the fixing pin 20 can be separated from the fixing hole 22. At this time, the shaping head 6 can be pulled, thereby causing the sliding rod 5 to slide up and down along the sliding hole 4, so as to adjust the distance between the shaping head 6 and the sock plate 3. Afterwards, the fixing pin 20 can be reinserted so that the top end of the fixing pin 20 is pushed back into the fixing hole 22, thereby fixing the sliding rod 5 and the sock plate 3. Finally, the distance between the shaping head 6 and the sock plate 3 can be fixed.
[0021] Two rotatable shafts 8 are inserted through the inner side of the workbench 1. A rotating mechanism 9 is provided on one side of the workbench 1, and the rotating mechanism 9 is connected to the shafts 8. A rotating frame 10 is fixed between the two shafts 8. The rotating mechanism 9 can drive the shafts 8 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating frame 10 to rotate. The rotating mechanism 9 has a worm gear 24 and a worm 25, and the worm gear 24 and the worm 25 are meshed. A drive box 26 is fixed on one side of the workbench 1, and the worm gear 24 and the worm 25 are located in the drive box 26. One end of the shaft 8 passes through the workbench 1 and is fixedly connected to the worm gear 24. A second motor 27 is installed on one side of the drive box 26. The output shaft of the second motor 27 passes through the drive shaft and is fixedly connected to one end of the worm 25. The rotation of the second motor 27 can drive the worm 25 to rotate, thereby driving the worm gear 24 to rotate, and finally driving the shaft 8 to rotate.
[0022] The upper end of the rotating frame 10 is provided with a groove 11, and a gear 12 is disposed in the groove 11. A first motor 13 is installed at the bottom of the rotating frame 10. The output shaft of the first motor 13 passes through the rotating frame 10 and is fixedly connected to the lower end of the gear 12. The rotation of the first motor 13 can drive the gear 12 to rotate. Two slide rails 14 are fixedly disposed in the groove 11. Each slide rail 14 is fitted with a rack 15. The two racks 15 mesh with the gear 12 respectively. The rotation of the gear 12 can drive the two racks 15 to slide along the two slide rails 14 respectively, and the two racks 15 move in opposite directions. Two connecting columns 16 are provided inside the rotating frame 10. Connecting rods 17 are fixed to one side of the two racks 15 respectively, and one end of the connecting column 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting rod 17. Support plates 18 are fixed to the other ends of the two connecting columns 16 respectively. The two support plates 18 are located on both sides of the sock plate 3. When the gear 12 rotates clockwise, it can drive the upper rack 15 to move to the right. At this time, the lower rack 15 moves to the left. At this time, the two connecting rods 17 move away from each other. Conversely, when the gear 12 rotates counterclockwise, the two connecting rods 17 move closer to each other. Finally, the two support plates 18 can be driven to move away from or closer to each other through the connecting column 16. The sock plate 3 and the shaping head 6 each have a sliding groove 19 on both sides, and the width of the sliding groove 19 is equal to the width of the support plate 18. The initial positions of the two support plates 18 are respectively located within the sliding groove 19. When the electric telescopic rod 2 moves the sock plate 3 downward, the two support plates 18 can slide along the sliding groove 19. After the sock plate 3 separates from the sock, the two support plates 18 support the inside of the sock. A limiting plate 28 is fixed on one side of each of the two support plates 18. The limiting plate 28 can limit the opening of the sock, thereby causing the sock to stick to the sock plate 3, so that the sock can be separated from the sock plate 3 better. Then, the rotating frame 10 can rotate to drive the two support plates 18 to rotate. When the rotating frame 10 rotates to the moving angle, the two supporting plates 18 can be driven to move closer to each other through the two connecting columns 16. At this time, there is no support force on the inside of the sock, so the sock can fall off due to its own weight, thus completing the sock removal work.
[0023] A conveyor belt assembly 29 is provided on one side of the workbench 1. The socks that eventually fall off can fall onto the conveyor belt assembly 29, and the socks can be conveyed to the next process for processing through the conveyor belt assembly 29. The structure and working method of the conveyor belt assembly 29 are existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail.
[0024] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
