Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sock production technology, specifically a drying device for sock production and processing. Background Technology

[0002] Socks, as a common garment, have a long history and are an indispensable daily necessity. Traditionally, socks are worn on the feet to isolate them from shoes, preventing chafing of the skin on the heels and toes. They also absorb sweat, improving foot comfort. After production, socks typically have many lint and cotton threads attached to their surface. If these lint and threads are not removed promptly, they can stick to the surface and pose a fire hazard when exposed to open flames. The cotton threads can also affect consumers' willingness to buy socks. Therefore, washing is necessary, followed by drying using a dryer.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent document disclosing a drying device for sock production [Application No.: CN202222347561.1]. This drying device for sock production includes a base, with a hot air blower fixed at the center of the top of the base. A straight pipe is fixed at the hot air outlet of the hot air blower. An n-shaped support plate is fixed to the outside of the straight pipe and is fixed to the base. Multiple air outlets arranged in a circular array are opened on the outside of the straight pipe. The inside of the straight pipe is connected to the outside through the air outlets. A top plate is fixed to the top of the straight pipe.

[0004] The device disclosed in this patent can fix socks by clamping and fixing mechanism when in use. However, when clamping socks, it requires manual assistance from the staff to clamp and take them out. This makes it cumbersome for the staff to assemble and disassemble socks, which not only increases the workload of the staff, but also reduces the drying efficiency of the device for socks.

[0005] Meanwhile, the device does not have a structure to block hot air when drying socks, which makes it easy for hot air to come into contact with cold air. This results in poor drying efficiency and requires a continuous supply of hot air, which not only reduces the applicability of the device but also increases energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drying device for sock production and processing, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drying device for sock production and processing, comprising a base and a drying mechanism mounted on top of it, and further comprising:

[0008] A rotating mechanism is mounted on the surface of the drying mechanism. A fixing rod is mounted on the surface of the rotating mechanism. A fixing mechanism is mounted at the bottom of the fixing rod. A connecting frame is mounted inside the fixing mechanism. A shaping plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame.

[0009] A mounting shell is fixed to one side of the top of the base. A power mechanism is installed inside the mounting shell. A movable ring is installed on one side of the power mechanism. A blocking cloth is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable ring.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a fixing shell fixed to the bottom of the fixing rod and a tension spring fixed to one side thereon, and the other end of the tension spring is fixedly connected to a movable rod.

[0011] Preferably, the power mechanism includes a servo motor bolted to the top of the mounting housing and a threaded rod fixed to its output shaft, the surface of which is threaded with a sleeve.

[0012] Preferably, guide frames are fixedly connected to both sides of the surface of the movable rod, and the surface of the guide frames is slidably connected to the surface of the fixed shell.

[0013] Preferably, a bearing seat is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded rod, and the bottom of the bearing seat is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting shell.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the barrier cloth is fixedly connected to the top of the base, the barrier cloth has a flexible structure design, and the barrier cloth is made of an airtight material.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This invention, through the cooperation of a fixing mechanism and a connecting frame, eliminates the need for manual adjustment of the fixing mechanism when clamping socks, making it more convenient for workers to clamp and retrieve socks. This effectively improves the efficiency of the device in clamping and retrieving socks. Furthermore, during use, the device utilizes a power mechanism and a movable ring to block hot air with a barrier cloth, thereby increasing the utilization rate of hot air. This not only improves drying efficiency but also enhances the applicability of the device, solving the problems of inconvenience and poor drying efficiency found in existing devices.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4As shown, a drying device for sock production and processing includes a base 1. A drying mechanism 2 is installed on the top of the base 1. Under the action of the drying mechanism 2, heated air is blown towards the socks, thus facilitating the drying of the socks. A rotating mechanism 3 is installed on the surface of the drying mechanism 2, and a number of fixing rods 4 are installed on the surface of the rotating mechanism 3. Under the action of the rotating mechanism 3, the fixing rods 4 can be rotated, thus facilitating subsequent use. A fixing mechanism 7 is installed at the bottom of the fixing rods 4, and a connecting frame 5 is installed inside the fixing mechanism 7. A shaping plate 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 5. Under the action of the fixing mechanism 7, the socks to be dried can be placed on the surface of the shaping plate 6. Under the action of the drying mechanism 2 and the rotating mechanism 3, the socks are dried and rotated. Under the action of the fixing mechanism 7 and the connecting frame 5, the socks to be dried can be easily picked up, thus making the device more convenient and effective when picking up socks. This device improves the drying efficiency of socks. A mounting shell 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the base 1. A power mechanism 9 is installed inside the mounting shell 8. A movable ring 10 is installed on one side of the power mechanism 9. With the cooperation of the power mechanism 9, the movable ring 10 can be moved. A blocking cloth 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable ring 10. The bottom of the blocking cloth 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. The blocking cloth 11 has a flexible structure and is made of airtight material. Under this function, when the drying mechanism 2 is drying the socks, the blocking cloth 11 can be unfolded through the cooperation of the power mechanism 9 and the movable ring 10, thus blocking the space around the socks. This prevents the hot air from the drying mechanism 2 from easily contacting the outside air, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the socks. When it is necessary to remove the socks, the blocking cloth 11 can be folded and stored by the power mechanism 9, making it convenient for staff to retrieve the socks, effectively improving the applicability of the device.

[0024] The fixing mechanism 7 includes a fixing shell 71 fixed to the bottom of the fixing rod 4. A tension spring 72 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing shell 71, and a movable rod 73 is fixedly connected to the other end of the tension spring 72. The other end of the movable rod 73 passes through the interior of the fixing shell 71 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the penetration point. The movable rod 73 works in conjunction with the connecting frame 5. Under this action, the tension spring 72 can continuously apply pressure to the movable rod 73, so that the movable rod 73 will not easily move, thus facilitating the limiting of the connecting frame 5. The two parts of the surface of the movable rod 73 are designed with an inclined structure, and the top of the connecting frame 5 is also designed with an inclined structure. Under this action, when it is necessary to separate the connecting frame 5 from the movable rod 73, the force is applied by the shape. Pulling the connecting frame 5 allows the movable rod 73 to move to one side, facilitating its removal. During installation, the matching shape of the top of the connecting frame 5 with the movable rod 73 eliminates the need for manual adjustment of the rod's position. This allows for easy positioning of the connecting frame 5 and convenient retrieval of the socks. Guide frames 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the movable rod 73, with their surfaces slidably connected to the fixed housing 71. These guide frames 13 guide the movable rod 73, preventing it from easily rotating and ensuring accurate positioning of the connecting frame 5.

[0025] The power mechanism 9 includes a servo motor 91 bolted to the top of the mounting housing 8. The output shaft of the servo motor 91 passes through the interior of the mounting housing 8 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of its penetration point. A threaded rod 92 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 91. A sleeve 93 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 92. The surface of the sleeve 93 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting housing 8. One side of the sleeve 93 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable ring 10. Under this action, the movable ring 10 can be driven to move up and down through the cooperation of the threaded rod 92 and the sleeve 93, so as to facilitate the unfolding or storage of the blocking cloth 11, making it more convenient and faster for the device to dry socks. A bearing seat 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded rod 92. The bottom of the bearing seat 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting housing 8. Under this action, the threaded rod 92 will not easily vibrate significantly when rotating, effectively improving the stability of the threaded rod 92 when rotating and avoiding the threaded connection between the threaded rod 92 and the sleeve 93 due to insufficient stability when rotating.

[0026] It is worth noting that the technical features such as the base 1, drying mechanism 2 and rotating mechanism 3 proposed in this technical solution should be regarded as prior art. The specific structure, working principle and possible control methods and spatial arrangement of these technical features can be selected using conventional methods in this field. This technical solution will not elaborate further.

[0027] Working principle: First, the sock is placed on the surface of the shaping plate 6. Then, the shaping plate 6 cooperates with the connecting frame 5 to squeeze the movable rod 73. Under the action of the shape, the movable rod 73 will move and, with the cooperation of the tension spring 72, the movable rod 73 will be locked inside the connecting frame 5, which facilitates the fixation of the sock and makes it faster for the staff to clamp the sock. Then, the staff turns on the servo motor 91 to make the threaded rod 92 drive the sleeve 93 to move. When it moves, it will unfold the blocking cloth 11 with the cooperation of the movable ring 10, so that the air inside the blocking cloth 11 will not easily come into contact with the outside air, keeping the sock in a relatively sealed state. Then, the drying mechanism 2 and the rotating mechanism 3 are turned on to dry and rotate the sock. After drying, the blocking cloth 11 is moved back to its original position. Then, the shaping plate 6 is pulled to remove the connecting frame 5 from the inside of the fixed shell 71.
