UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0004] The utility model aims at the above problems existing in the prior art, and provides a new type steam setting machine for hosiery production, which does not need manual pushing and pulling of the placing rack and prevents scalding.

[0005] The utility model can be realized by the following technical scheme:

[0006] A new type steam setting machine for hosiery production, comprising a box body, a placing rack for placing hosiery, a box door arranged at the front side of the box body and a steam generator arranged in the box body, characterized in that a supporting plate is arranged at the lower part in the box body, a metal forklift pallet is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placing rack, the placing rack is placed on the supporting plate, and the metal forklift pallet abuts against the supporting plate, there is a gap between the supporting plate and the bottom in the box body, an auxiliary supporting piece is arranged at the lower part of the box door, when the box door is closed, the auxiliary supporting piece is embedded between the supporting plate and the bottom in the box body, the supporting plate is slidingly connected with the box body at both sides, a lead screw transmission mechanism is arranged at one side of the supporting plate, a guide mechanism is arranged at the other side of the supporting plate, and when the box door is opened, the supporting plate can be translated to the front side of the box body and abut against the auxiliary supporting piece under the drive of the lead screw transmission mechanism.

[0007] The new steam setting for sock production provides a placing platform for the placing rack through the setting of the support plate, the placing rack has a plurality of sock plates, the socks to be set can be matched on the plurality of sock plates, through the setting of the lead screw transmission mechanism and the guide mechanism, the support plate can be automatically moved out or moved back to the box, realizing the automatic feeding and feeding of the placing rack full of socks, and through the setting of the metal forklift tray structure at the bottom of the placing rack, the placing rack can be transferred by the forklift, the operator can place the placing rack full of socks to be set on the support plate moved out or transfer the placing rack sent out after the socks are set from the support plate, avoiding the operator directly contacting the placing rack with high temperature, reducing the risk of scalding, at the same time, through the setting of the auxiliary support piece on the box door, when the support plate feeds the placing rack out of the box, the auxiliary support piece can assist the support plate to play an auxiliary supporting role, preventing the support plate from tilting downward due to the weight of the placing rack, causing the placing rack to slip or causing equipment damage, improving stability and safety.

[0008] In the new steam setting machine for sock production, the lead screw transmission mechanism includes a motor, a ball screw and a lead screw nut, the ball screw is rotatably connected at both ends of the box at the front and rear sides, the motor is connected at the outside of the rear side of the box and the motor is in transmission connection with the ball screw, the lead screw nut is in threaded connection with the ball screw, and one side of the lead screw nut is fixedly connected with the side of the support plate.

[0009] The motor drives the ball screw to rotate, and the lead screw nut converts the rotation of the ball screw into the axial movement of the lead screw nut, thereby driving the support plate fixedly connected with the lead screw nut to translate along the lead screw axis, that is, the support plate translates into the box or translates out of the box.

[0010] In the new steam setting machine for sock production, the guide mechanism includes a guide rod and a sliding block, the guide rod is fixedly connected at both ends of the box at the front and rear sides, the sliding block is slidingly connected on the guide rod, and one side of the sliding block is fixedly connected with the side of the support plate.

[0011] When the lead screw transmission mechanism drives the support plate to translate into the box or out of the box, the sliding block fixedly connected with the support plate can synchronously slide along the guide rod, thereby guiding the support plate to move in a horizontal state.

[0012] In the new steam setting machine for sock production, two limiting assemblies are symmetrically arranged at both sides of the box, the support plate is slidingly connected with the two limiting assemblies at both sides, the lead screw transmission mechanism is located between one limiting assembly and one side of the support plate, and the guide mechanism is located between the other limiting assembly and the other side of the support plate.

[0013] The setting of the limiting assembly limits the inclination of the support plate, further ensuring the horizontal state of the support plate.

[0014] The limiting assembly comprises an upper limiting edge and a lower limiting edge, and the upper limiting edge and the lower limiting edge have a spacing therebetween.

[0015] The upper limiting edge and the lower limiting edge jointly act on both sides of the support plate to support and limit the support plate, thereby further ensuring the horizontal state and horizontal movement of the support plate and avoiding problems such as inclination, deviation and damage.

[0016] The auxiliary support is a triangular structure arranged horizontally, and the inner end of the auxiliary support is fixedly connected to the lower part of the inner side of the box door.

[0017] The maximum opening angle of the box door is 90 degrees. After the box door is opened, the auxiliary support can abut against the support plate after the support plate is translated and sent out of the box, thereby assisting in supporting the support plate. When the box door is closed, the structure of the auxiliary support can be perfectly embedded in the gap between the support plate and the inner bottom of the box, and does not conflict with other structures, thereby improving the compactness of the overall structure.

[0018] The steam generator is arranged at the lower part of the rear side of the box.

[0019] During steam setting, the steam generator generates a large amount of steam in the box, and the steam can be transmitted upward to fill the entire box, so that the socks can be well subjected to steam setting.

[0020] The box has protruding connecting edges on both sides of the front part, and one end of the ball screw and one end of the guide rod are rotatably connected to the two connecting edges, respectively.

[0021] The connecting edges provide a connection platform for the connection of the ball screw and the guide rod, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection and the stability of the operation.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the novel steam setting machine for sock production has a compact structure and high stability. The arrangement of the support plate, the screw transmission mechanism, the guide mechanism and the limiting assembly enables the placement rack to be stably sent into and out of the box, has high automation, and the metal fork truck tray structure at the bottom of the placement rack enables the placement rack to be transferred by a fork truck, thereby avoiding direct contact of an operator, reducing the risk of high-temperature scalding and improving safety.
