Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sock-turning mechanism technology, specifically a sock-turning mechanism for an integrated knitting, sewing and turning sock machine for sports socks. Background Technology

[0002] In the textile industry, the demand for sports socks is growing, and the requirements for production efficiency and product quality are also increasing. As a key production equipment, the performance of the integrated knitting, sewing and turning machine for sports socks directly affects the production quality and efficiency of sports socks. With consumers' increasing demands for the quality of sports socks and the intensification of market competition, the automation and intelligent production of sock machines has become an important direction for the industry's development.

[0003] The knitting, sewing, and turning integrated sock machine, through its highly automated design, realizes the entire production process from yarn to finished socks. Its working principle can be divided into several steps: First, the machine uses knitting needles and shuttles to knit the yarn into the basic shape of the sock; then, after the sock is finished, the machine automatically sews the toe part of the sock to ensure the integrity of the sock; finally, after sewing, the machine automatically turns the sock inside out, making it easier for subsequent handling and packaging.

[0004] Currently, in the production of sports socks, the knitting process is usually completed inside the main body of the device first, and then the socks are turned inside out with the help of other structures. After turning inside out, the sports socks are taken out from the main body of the device.

[0005] However, during the production of socks, dust, loose threads, and other debris may be present during the knitting and sewing process of sports socks. Therefore, it is impossible to clean the socks during the knitting, sewing, and turning processes. Over time, this can lead to the accumulation of some debris affecting the use of the equipment, while other debris may stick to the surface of the sports socks, affecting their quality. Utility Model Content

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a sock-turning mechanism for a sports sock knitting and sewing integrated sock machine to solve the technical problem.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sock-turning mechanism for a sports sock knitting and sewing machine, comprising a main body, a first hydraulic cylinder being provided inside the main body, a fixed rod being fixedly connected to the top of the first hydraulic cylinder, and the top of the fixed rod being rounded; a second hydraulic cylinder being rotatably connected to the top of the main body, a movable plate being fixedly connected to the top of the second hydraulic cylinder, a fixed tube being fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate, a plurality of air holes being provided at the bottom of the fixed tube, and the bottom of the fixed tube fitting with the top of the fixed rod; a cavity being provided on the surface of the fixed tube, and a plurality of dust suction ports connected to the cavity being provided on the surface of the fixed tube.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, after the sports socks are sewn inside the main body of the mechanism, the first hydraulic cylinder can be activated to drive the fixed rod to rise, thereby turning the sports socks inside out and separating them from the main body of the mechanism. At the same time, the first hydraulic cylinder is activated to drive the movable plate and the fixed tube to descend until the bottom of the fixed tube contacts the sports socks. This causes a suction force to be generated inside the fixed tube, which adsorbs the sports socks through the air holes. At the same time, a suction force is also generated inside the cavity, thereby cleaning the socks and other debris inside the main body of the mechanism through the dust suction port. Therefore, this structure can complete the cleaning during the turning of the sports socks, which helps to maintain a clean working environment, improves the quality of the socks, and prevents debris from affecting the quality of the socks.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a first helical gear is fixedly connected to the surface of the second hydraulic cylinder, and a second helical gear meshes with the surface of the first helical gear; a motor that meshes with the second helical gear is installed on the top of the main body of the mechanism, and the output end of the motor is connected to the second helical gear through a shaft.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the starting motor drives the second helical gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second hydraulic cylinder to rotate through the first helical gear, thereby adjusting the position of the fixing rod to facilitate the collection of socks after they have been turned inside out.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a dust collection device is installed on the top of the movable plate, and the dust collection device is connected to the fixed pipe through a first pipe.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first hydraulic cylinder is activated to drive the fixed rod upward to turn the socks inside out, the second hydraulic cylinder can be activated to drive the movable plate and fixed tube downward. This allows the dust and other debris inside the socks and the main body of the mechanism to be cleaned through the suction port, which helps to maintain a clean working environment, improves the quality of the socks, and prevents debris residue from affecting the quality of the socks.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that an air pump device is installed on the top of the movable plate, and the air pump device is connected to the cavity through a second pipe.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, after the sports socks are knitted and turned over by the fixing rod, the air pump device can be activated to generate suction on the sports socks through the fixing tube, thereby separating the sports socks from the fixing rod. This makes it easier for the sports socks to detach from the main body of the mechanism by the movement of the fixing rod, which helps to collect the turned-over socks.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that a fixing plate that fits with the main body of the mechanism is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing rod.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, debris generated during the sewing process can fall onto the fixed plate, avoiding affecting the subsequent operation of the main body of the mechanism. The fixed plate can also move upward synchronously with the fixed rod, making it easier to clean the debris on the top of the fixed plate.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that a fixing block is fixedly connected to the top of the main body of the mechanism, and the top of the fixing block is configured as an inclined structure.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, after the fixed rod sucks the turned-over sock out of the main body of the mechanism, it can be rotated to reach the top of the fixed block, and then dropped onto the top of the fixed block. The inclined structure at the top of the fixed block can then guide the sock, making it easier to collect the turned-over sock.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that the surface of the main body of the mechanism is provided with holes, and the fixing tube moves within the holes.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the hole provides space for the movement of the fixing tube on the surface of the main body of the mechanism, ensuring the stability and smoothness of the movement of the fixing rod, avoiding interference with the main body of the mechanism, and ensuring the coordinated operation of all components of the sock-turning mechanism.

[0021] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0022] This invention involves completing the knitting of sports socks within the main body of the mechanism. After this process, a first hydraulic cylinder is activated to lift a fixed rod, allowing the sports socks to be turned inside out and detached from the main body. Simultaneously, a second hydraulic cylinder is activated to lower a movable plate and a fixed tube until the bottom of the fixed tube contacts the sports sock. This creates suction within the fixed tube, which draws the sports sock through air holes. Simultaneously, suction is also generated within the cavity, allowing dust and other debris to be cleaned from the sports socks and the main body of the mechanism through a dust extraction port. Therefore, this structure allows cleaning to be completed during the turning of sports socks, helping to maintain a clean working environment, improving sock quality, and preventing debris from affecting the sock's quality.

[0028] 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.

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0030] A sock-turning mechanism in a sports sock knitting, sewing, and turning integrated sock machine, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the device includes a main body 1, within which a first hydraulic cylinder 2 is installed. A fixed rod 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the first hydraulic cylinder 2, and the top of the fixed rod 3 is rounded. The first hydraulic cylinder 2 can drive the fixed rod 3 to rise or fall, thereby turning the sports socks inside out after sewing. A second hydraulic cylinder 5 is rotatably connected to the top of the main body 1. A movable plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the second hydraulic cylinder 5. A fixed tube 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 7. The bottom of the fixed tube 11 has several air holes 12, and the bottom of the fixed tube 11 fits into the top of the fixed rod 3. Therefore, when the second hydraulic cylinder 5 drives the fixed rod 3, the fixed rod 3 can be turned inside out. When the fixed tube 11 moves downward, the bottom of the fixed tube 11 can fit into the top of the fixed rod 3, which facilitates better adsorption of the socks through the air holes 12. A cavity 13 is provided on the surface of the fixed tube 11, and several dust suction ports 14 connected to the cavity 13 are provided on the surface of the fixed tube 11. When the fixed tube 11 moves downward to adsorb the socks, dust and other debris on the surface of the main body 1 and the sports socks can be sucked away through the dust suction ports 14, thereby achieving cleaning. This structure helps to clean the sports socks during the process of turning them inside out, thereby maintaining a clean working environment, improving the quality of the socks, and preventing debris from affecting the quality of the socks.

[0031] A fixing block 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the main body 1 of the mechanism, and the top of the fixing block 6 is set as an inclined structure. Through the movement of the movable plate 7 and the fixing tube 11, the sports socks after being turned over fall out of the main body 1 and onto the top of the fixing block 6. The inclined structure at the top of the fixing block 6 can guide the socks, making it easier to collect them.

[0032] Then, a first helical gear 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second hydraulic cylinder 5, and a second helical gear 9 meshes with the surface of the first helical gear 8. A motor 10 that meshes with the second helical gear 9 is installed on the top of the main body 1 of the mechanism, and the output end of the motor 10 is connected to the second helical gear 9 through a shaft. The motor 10 can be started to drive the second helical gear 9 to move, thereby driving the first helical gear 8 and the second hydraulic cylinder 5 to rotate, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the movable plate 7 and the fixed tube 11, which is convenient for better collection of the finished sports socks.

[0033] A vacuum cleaner 16 is further installed on the top of the movable plate 7, and the vacuum cleaner 16 is connected to the fixed pipe 11 through the first pipe 15. By activating the vacuum cleaner 16, the vacuum port 14 can clean the dust and other debris inside the sports socks and the main body 1 of the mechanism, which helps to maintain a clean working environment and improve the quality of the socks, preventing debris residue from affecting the quality of the socks. At the same time, an air pump 18 is installed on the top of the movable plate 7, and the air pump 18 is connected to the cavity 13 through the second pipe 17. The air pump 18 can be activated to generate suction on the sports socks through the fixed pipe 11, thereby separating the sports socks from the fixed rod 3, and making it easier for the sports socks to detach from the main body 1 of the mechanism by the movement of the fixed pipe 11.

[0034] A fixing plate 4, which fits into the main body 1, is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing rod 3. This allows debris generated during the knitting process to fall onto the fixing plate 4, preventing it from affecting the operation of the main body 1. When the fixing rod 3 moves upward to turn the sports socks inside out, the fixing plate 4 moves upward synchronously, allowing for the cleaning of debris on the top of the fixing plate 4. At the same time, the surface of the main body 1 is provided with holes 19, and the fixing tube 11 moves within the holes 19. Therefore, the holes 19 provide space for the fixing tube 11 to move, thereby preventing it from interfering with the main body 1 and affecting its movement.

[0035] The main body 1, the dust collection device 16, and the air pump device 18 mentioned in this embodiment are all existing structures. The principle of the dust collection device 16 is to generate suction by using a suction pump, and to connect the dust collection hole to the collection box through a pipe, thereby sucking in and collecting dust and debris on the sock machine operating table. The principle of the air pump device 18 is to use mechanical energy to convert into gas pressure energy, and to compress gas through the reciprocating motion of a piston, thereby generating air pressure for adsorption and transportation. Its working principle is easily known to those skilled in the art. At the same time, the structure in this embodiment does not affect the normal operation of the main body 1.

[0036] Therefore, during use, the sports socks can be sewed through the main body 1 of the mechanism. After the sewing is completed, the first hydraulic cylinder 2 can be activated to drive the fixed rod 3 to rise, thereby turning the sports socks inside out and detaching them from the main body 1 of the mechanism. At the same time, the second hydraulic cylinder 5 is activated to drive the movable plate 7 and the fixed tube 11 to descend until the bottom of the fixed tube 11 contacts the sports socks. This causes a suction force to be generated inside the fixed tube 11, which then adsorbs the sports socks through the air hole 12. Simultaneously, a suction force is also generated inside the cavity 13, thereby cleaning the socks and dust and other debris inside the main body 1 of the mechanism through the dust suction port 14. Therefore, this structure can be used to... Cleaning is completed during the process of turning the socks over, which helps maintain a clean working environment and improves the quality of the socks, preventing debris from affecting their quality. Then, the second hydraulic cylinder 5 drives the fixed tube 11 to move upward until the position of the sports sock is higher than the top of the main body 1 of the mechanism. At this point, the motor 10 is started to drive the second hydraulic cylinder 5 to move, thereby driving the movable plate 7 and the fixed tube 11 to move and change their position until they reach the top of the fixed block 6. Then, the air pump device 18 is turned off to make the suction in the fixed tube 11 disappear, so that the sports sock falls to the top of the fixed block 6 for collection.

The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
