[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] This utility model provides a sock feeding device for a sock turning machine, such as... Figures 1 to 4As shown, the device includes a sock-turning machine housing 1. A control panel 2 is fixedly installed on the front of the housing 1. The control panel 2 is electrically connected to a motor, an electric telescopic rod 7, and an electric push rod. A positioning rod 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the housing 1. Multiple rotating shafts 4 are movably installed on both sides of the positioning rod 3 at one end of the housing 1. A motor is fixedly installed at one end of each rotating shaft 4 inside the housing 1. A rubber ring 5 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 4. A fixing block 6 is fixedly connected above the rotating shaft 4 at one end of the housing 1. An electric telescopic rod 7 is fixedly installed inside the fixing block 6. A slider 8 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the electric telescopic rod 7. A groove 9 is opened inside the fixing block 6 corresponding to the bottom outer surface of the slider 8. The bottom outer surface of the slider 8 is slidably connected to the groove 9. Scrapers 10 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the slider 8. Drop holes 17 are opened at both ends of the groove 9 inside the fixing block 6. A collection box 11 is snapped into the bottom of the fixing block 6 below the drop holes 17.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a movable block 12 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the top of the slider 8. Clamping arms 13 are movably connected to both sides of the top of the movable block 12. Two electric push rods are fixedly installed on both sides inside the movable block 12. The movable ends of the two electric push rods are fixedly connected to the tops of the two movable blocks 12 respectively. A first magnetic sheet 14 is fixedly connected to one end of one clamping arm 13, and a second magnetic sheet 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the other clamping arm 13. Rubber sheets 16 are glued to one end of both the first magnetic sheet 14 and the second magnetic sheet 15. When the movable block 12 moves under the action of the electric telescopic rod 7, it will be positioned above the outer sock. The electric push rods inside the movable block 12 will then drive the clamping arms 13 on both sides to move inwards. The movement of the clamping arms 13 on both sides causes the first magnetic plate 14 and the second magnetic plate 15 to move inward. Under the action of magnetic force, they will attract each other, achieving full clamping of the sock. Furthermore, due to the action of the rubber plate 16, the friction when in contact with the sock can improve the stability of the sock. Then, the electric telescopic rod 7 drives the movable block 12 to move towards the rotating shaft 4. When it reaches the position inside the rotating shafts 4 on both sides, the sock flipping operation is then achieved through multiple rotating shafts 4, rubber rings 5 ​​and positioning rods 3. This can achieve full clamping of the sock and prevent the sock from falling off due to partial clamping, effectively improving the stability when clamping the sock.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the scraper 10 is conical in shape, and the width of the scraper 10 is the same as the width of the groove 9, ensuring that the scraper 10 can completely scrape away the dust and impurities accumulated inside the groove 9 when it moves, thus effectively improving the cleaning efficiency of the scraper 10.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the two drop holes 17 are both opened with an inclined surface at one end, so that the dust and impurities inside the chute 9 can fall smoothly from the drop holes 17 along the inclined surface under the action of the scraper 10, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the top two sides of the collection box 11 are fixedly connected with locking blocks, and the outer surface of the locking blocks is locked inside the fixing block 6. Since the top of the collection box 11 is locked to the bottom of the fixing block 6, when the collection box 11 is full, the collection box 11 can be quickly disassembled for cleaning, which improves the maintenance efficiency of the collection box 11.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the midpoint of the first magnetic piece 14 and the midpoint of the second magnetic piece 15 are on the same horizontal line, ensuring that when the first magnetic piece 14 and the second magnetic piece 15 move inward, they will attract each other under the action of magnetic force, achieving the effect of fully clamping the sock.

[0027] Working principle: In actual use, when socks need to be turned inside out, the electric telescopic rod 7 is activated via the control panel 2. The movable end of the electric telescopic rod 7 drives the slider 8 to move towards the outside of the sock. The movement of the slider 8 can drive the movable block 12 to move synchronously. The movement of the slider 8 can drive the scrapers 10 on both sides to slide inside the groove 9. Since the width of the scraper 10 is the same as the width of the groove 9, the scraper 10 can clean the dust and impurities accumulated inside the groove 9 and can also move the dust and impurities, which then fall down along the drop hole 17 and are collected by the collection box 11. Since the top of the collection box 11 is locked to the bottom of the fixing block 6, when the collection box 11 is full, it can be quickly disassembled for cleaning. This can achieve automated cleaning of dust and impurities inside the groove 9, avoid the accumulation of dust and impurities affecting the normal movement of the slider 8, and achieve automated collection and quick disassembly of the collection box 11, which is convenient for later cleaning and effectively improves the maintenance efficiency of the collection box 11.

[0028] Then, as the movable block 12 moves, the clamping arm 13 will be positioned above the outer sock. The electric push rod inside the movable block 12 will drive the clamping arms 13 on both sides to move inward, thus clamping the sock. As the clamping arms 13 on both sides move, the first magnetic plate 14 and the second magnetic plate 15 will move inward. Under the action of magnetic force, they will attract each other, thus achieving full clamping of the sock. Furthermore, due to the action of the rubber plate 16, the friction when in contact with the sock can improve the stability of the sock. Next, the electric telescopic rod 7 drives the movable block 12 to move towards the rotating shaft 4. When it reaches the position inside the rotating shaft 4 on both sides, the sock flipping operation is then achieved through multiple rotating shafts 4, rubber rings 5, and positioning rods 3. This can achieve full clamping of the sock, preventing the sock from falling off due to partial clamping, and effectively improving the stability when clamping the sock.

[0029] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
