Sock quality detection refers to the process of checking and evaluating various performance indicators of socks during production to ensure that the final product meets specific quality standards and consumer needs.
[0003] The existing sock production quality detection is usually carried out by placing the socks on the conveying equipment for conveying, conveying to the detection equipment below for detection, and then transferring to other detection equipment for the next detection. However, the current detection of socks requires the use of different detection equipment, which is relatively troublesome and inconvenient for continuous production. Not only does it affect the production efficiency, but it also increases the production cost. In addition, when problems are detected in the socks, manual removal of the defective socks is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which is very inconvenient to use.

[0020] 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.
[0021] A quality inspection device for a sock production line, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the device includes a conveyor 1, limiting rods 2, placement racks 3, a start button 9, a stop button 90, a collection assembly, and a detection assembly. Multiple limiting rods 2 are connected to the conveyor 1. Ten placement racks 3 are placed on the conveyor 1; all placement racks 3 are T-shaped for easy securing of socks. Collection assemblies for collecting socks are located on both the left and right sides of the conveyor 1. The collection assembly includes a collection box 4, a connecting frame 5, a fan 6, a pipe 7, a support frame 8, an electric push rod 13, a sliding frame 14, and a sleeve 15. Three collection boxes 4 are provided. Collection boxes 4 are placed on the ground, all located outside the conveyor 1. A connecting frame 5 is connected to the upper right side of the conveyor 1, and two connecting frames 5 are also connected to the upper left side of the conveyor 1. All connecting frames 5 are U-shaped for easy support. A fan 6 is connected to the upper side of the opposite side of each connecting frame 5. Pipes 7 are connected to each connecting frame 5 and are connected to the fan 6. A support frame 8 is connected to the upper side of each connecting frame 5. A sliding connection is made to the lower right side of the left connecting frame 5. A start button 9 is slidably connected to the lower left side of the left connecting frame 5. A stop button 90 is slidably connected to the upper right side of the right connecting frame 5. A stop button 90 is also slidably connected to the upper left side of the left connecting frame 5. An electric push rod 13 is connected to the upper part of each support frame 8. A sliding frame 14 is connected to the telescopic end of each electric push rod 13. Each sliding frame 14 is slidably connected to the adjacent connecting frame 5. A sleeve 15 is connected to the lower part of each sliding frame 14. Each of the 15 components is connected to the adjacent pipe 7. The collection assembly is equipped with a detection component for detecting the shape and quality of the socks. The detection component includes a visual sensor 10, a laser sensor 11, and an ultrasonic sensor 12. The upper inner side of the connecting frame 5 on the right is connected to two visual sensors 10, and the upper inner side of the connecting frame 5 on the left is connected to two laser sensors 11. Four ultrasonic sensors 12 are connected to both the left and right sides of the conveyor 1. The ultrasonic sensors 12 are electrically connected to the conveyor 1.
[0022] This device can be used when sock production requires quality inspection of the socks. The conveyor 1 is brought into contact with the ground, and multiple placement racks 3 are placed on the conveyor 1 as needed. The placement racks 3 are T-shaped for easy securing of the socks. The placement racks 3 are limited by the limiting rod 2. The start button 9 is then pressed to activate the vision sensor 10 and the laser sensor 11. The socks are then placed on the placement racks 3, and the conveyor 1 is started, causing the placement racks 3 to move and transport the socks. When the ultrasonic sensor 12 in the middle right detects the placement rack 3, the conveyor 1 is shut down. The vision sensor 10 then inspects the shape of the socks. The system detects holes or defects on the surface of the socks. If a problem is found, the electric push rod 13 is activated, which moves the sliding frame 14, causing the sleeve 15 to extend and move near the sock. Then, the fan 6 is activated, causing the sock on the placement rack 3 to enter the sleeve 15 and be sucked into the pipe 7, falling into the corresponding collection box 4 for recycling. The fan 6 is then turned off, and the electric push rod 13 reverses its operation, causing the sliding frame 14 to move in the opposite direction, causing the sleeve 15 to retract and move back to its original position. The electric push rod 13 is then turned off again, and the conveyor 1 is activated again, causing the placement rack 3 to move, so that the next sock moves to the vision sensor 1. The inspection continues at position 0. If the socks are found to be without problems, the placement rack 3 moves to the next connecting rack 5 for inspection. The connecting racks 5 are all U-shaped for easy support. When the ultrasonic sensor 12 in the middle left detects the placement rack 3, the conveyor 1 is shut down. Then, the laser sensor 11 inspects the socks' quality. If a problem is detected, the electric push rod 13 is activated, causing the sliding rack 14 to move, extending the sleeve 15 to the vicinity of the socks. The corresponding fan 6 is then activated, drawing the socks on the placement rack 3 into the pipe 7 and then into the corresponding collection box 4 for recycling. The conveyor 1 is then shut down. The blower 6 operates in reverse via the electric push rod 13, causing the sliding frame 14 to move in the opposite direction. This causes the sleeve 15 to retract and move in the opposite direction to reset. The electric push rod 13 is then turned off. This allows for the simultaneous detection of sock shape defects and quality, while also sucking out and collecting defective socks. The operation is simple, facilitating continuous sock production without the need to change equipment, thus improving production efficiency, reducing production costs, and providing convenience. When the socks are no longer defective, the placement rack 3 moves to the next connecting rack 5 for collection. The electric push rod 13 is then activated, causing the sliding frame 14 to move, extending the sleeve 15 to the vicinity of the socks. The corresponding blower 6 is then activated.The process involves sucking non-problematic socks on the placement rack 3 into the pipe 7 and then dropping them into the corresponding collection box 4 for recycling. Subsequently, the electric push rod 13 reverses the movement of the sliding frame 14, causing the sleeve 15 to retract and move back to its original position. The electric push rod 13 is then turned off. This allows for the automatic extraction and recycling of qualified socks after inspection, reducing manual intervention time and workload, saving costs, and improving production efficiency. The socks are then transported to the empty placement rack 3 via the conveyor 1. When the ultrasonic sensor 12 on the front right detects the placement rack 3, the conveyor 1 is turned off. New socks are then placed on the placement rack 3 for further inspection. After production is complete, pressing the shut-off button 90 turns off the vision sensor 10 and the laser sensor 11, and then the conveyor 1 is shut down.
