Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sock processing equipment technology, and in particular to a sock shaping auxiliary device. Background Technology

[0002] After socks are knitted, they need to be shaped to ensure they maintain their shape after wearing, thus increasing their lifespan. Currently, the main method for shaping socks is steam shaping, which uses steam to fix the cotton yarn in its shape.

[0003] Before entering the shaping device, workers need to put each sock on a corresponding sock plate one by one. Then, the sock plates with socks on them are connected together by a connecting rod. Finally, the surface of the socks is sprayed with water, and the connected sock plates are transferred to the shaping device. The socks are shaped by high-temperature steam. After the socks are shaped, they are transferred out of the shaping device and allowed to cool naturally. Then, workers manually remove the socks from the sock plates.

[0004] During the process of putting on socks, workers need to hold the sock cover in their hands, with one end of the cover pressed against their body, and then put the socks on the other end of the cover. This is a labor-intensive process. On the one hand, the operation is cumbersome and the work efficiency is low. On the other hand, the body parts that are constantly pressed against the cover are prone to injury. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve work efficiency and reduce worker injuries, this application provides a sock shaping auxiliary device.

[0006] The sock shaping auxiliary device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A sock shaping auxiliary device includes a workbench with two vertically arranged columns fixed on the upper surface of the workbench. A connecting rod connecting the two columns is detachably installed on the columns. A snap-fit ​​groove is opened on the upper end face of the columns. The two ends of the connecting rod are placed in the snap-fit ​​groove. Several sock covers are fitted onto the connecting rod. The socks are manually fitted onto the other end of the sock covers by the worker.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, one end of the sock-covering plate is connected to a connecting rod. During the process of putting on the sock, the worker rotates the sock-covering plate upwards around the connecting rod, then places the sock on the other end of the plate. The connecting rod provides support and resistance to the sock-covering plate, facilitating the placement of the sock. The worker does not need to use their body for support, avoiding injury. Since several sock-covering plates are arranged together on the connecting rod, worker efficiency is also improved. In existing technologies, friction or impact frequently occurs between the sock-covering plates and between the sock-covering plates and the tabletop, leading to damage or soiling of the socks. By limiting the movement of the sock-covering plates, contact with the tabletop is minimized, reducing most collisions and effectively alleviating the problems of easy damage and soiling.

[0009] Optionally, the workbench is equipped with a divider that divides the workbench into a work area and a storage area. The connecting rod is located in the work area, and the socks are placed in the storage area to prevent them from falling to the ground.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the workbench is divided into a work area and a storage area by a partition rack. Socks are placed in the storage area, making it convenient for workers to take out the socks, reducing the labor intensity of workers, and improving the overall work efficiency.

[0011] Optionally, several sets of adjustment slots are provided on the opposite side walls of the two partition frames located in the work area. Abutment rollers are installed in the adjustment slots, parallel to the connecting rod. Both ends of the abutment roller shaft are engaged in the same set of adjustment slots. The abutment rollers abut against the sock cover plate on which the socks are fitted, providing some support.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the abutment roller is used to adjust the tilt angle of the sock cover plate and provide some support for the sock cover plate. On the other hand, after all the sock covers on the divider are covered with socks, the worker can remove the connecting rod. During the removal of the connecting rod, the other end of the sock cover plate rotates with the abutment roller, changing the sliding friction between the sock cover plate and the worktable into rolling friction as it moves with the abutment roller, reducing the possibility of damage to the socks on the sock cover plate. The setting of multiple sets of adjustment slots makes it easy to meet the needs of different sock cover plate lengths.

[0013] Optionally, a disassembly platform is provided on one side of the workbench. Two mounting brackets are fixed on the disassembly platform, and hooks are fixed on the two mounting brackets. The two ends of the connecting rod are hung on the hooks. A positioning roller is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket. The positioning roller is set horizontally and is used to support the sock cover plate, so that the sock cover plate tilts downward toward the worker's side, making it easier to remove the socks.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the disassembly table is equipped with a sock cover plate for easy positioning, which makes it easier for workers to remove socks from the sock cover plate. At the same time, the sock cover plate and connecting rod can be reused on the adjacent workbench.

[0015] Optionally, the hooks comprise several groups and are evenly distributed on the mounting frame along the same straight line perpendicular to the positioning roller.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the length of the sock cover plate used varies depending on the length of the sock, and the setting of several sets of hooks makes it easy to meet the needs of different sock cover plate lengths.

[0017] Optionally, a cooling rack is provided on one side of the disassembly platform, and parallel support rods are fixed on the cooling rack. Several slots are opened on the upper end face of the support rods, and the slots are evenly distributed along the length of the support rods. After the steam-shaped socks are taken out of the shaping device, the two ends of the connecting rod are engaged in the corresponding slots.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooling rack is used to place the shaped socks. The connecting rod, the sock cover plate on the connecting rod, and the socks on the sock cover plate are removed from the shaping device, so that both ends of the connecting rod are placed in the same set of slots, thereby realizing the natural cooling of the socks. The cooled socks are transferred to the disassembly table next to them, so that the socks can be removed from the sock cover plate.

[0019] Optionally, the slot extends through the support rod along the connecting rod axially, and the support rod is fixed on the opposite inner side wall of the cooling rack. The cooling rack closes the opening on one side of the slot and prevents the connecting rod from moving axially and disengaging from the slot.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the slot passes through the support rod to increase the length of the slot and meet the needs of connecting rods of different lengths. At the same time, the support rod is set between the cooling racks to prevent the connecting rod from moving too much along one side of the axial direction, causing the other side to disengage from the corresponding slot.

[0021] Optionally, the column includes a fixed cylinder fixed to the surface of the workbench, a sliding cylinder slidably disposed inside the fixed cylinder, a snap-fit ​​groove is formed on the sliding cylinder, a plurality of positioning holes are formed on the outer wall of the sliding cylinder, and a positioning pin is slidably connected to the fixed cylinder, passing through the fixed cylinder and inserted into one of the positioning holes.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, adjusting the positional relationship between the sliding rod and the fixed cylinder, and then fixing it with a positioning pin, the height of the connecting rod in the vertical direction can be adjusted to meet the needs of workers of different heights.

[0023] In summary, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: Several sock covers are fitted onto a connecting rod at one end. Workers take socks from the adjacent storage area and put them on the sock covers. During the process of putting on the socks, the worker first rotates the sock covers around the connecting rod, so that the connecting rod provides certain support and resistance to the sock covers. Then, the socks are put on the other end of the sock covers. Since the worker does not need to use their body as a support, it avoids injury to the body and also improves the worker's work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0029] This application discloses a sock shaping auxiliary device.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 A sock shaping auxiliary device includes a workbench 1 fixed on the ground. The upper surface of the workbench 1 is horizontally arranged. A three-partition frame 2 is fixed on the upper surface of the workbench 1, dividing the upper surface of the workbench 1 into a work area and a storage area. The work area is used to put socks on sock covers 3, and the storage area is used to place socks that need to be put on sock covers 3 and to prevent socks from falling to the ground.

[0031] Reference Figure 1Two uprights 4 are fixed on the workbench 1 on the upper surface of the work area. The two uprights 4 are vertically arranged and located on the edge near the worker. A connecting rod 5 is provided on the uprights 4 to connect the two uprights 4. The connecting rod 5 is horizontally arranged. The upper end face of the uprights 4 has a locking groove 6 in the vertical direction. The two ends of the connecting rod 5 are placed in the corresponding locking grooves 6. Several sock covers 3 are neatly placed on the connecting rod 5. During the work process, the worker takes out socks from the storage area and then rotates the sock covers 3 around the connecting rod 5 to a suitable angle. The connecting rod 5 provides a certain support and abutment for the sock covers 3, making it easy for the worker to put the socks on the sock covers 3 from the other end.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 Several sets of adjustment slots 7 are provided on the opposite side walls of the two partition frames 2 located in the work area. The adjustment slots 7 are vertically arranged, and the adjustment slots 7 are equipped with abutment rollers 8. The abutment rollers 8 are parallel to the connecting rod 5. The two ends of the rotating shaft of the abutment rollers 8 are engaged in the same set of adjustment slots 7, which facilitates the installation and removal of the abutment rollers 8. The abutment rollers 8 abut against the sock cover plate 3 on which the socks are covered and provide a certain support for it.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 A disassembly table 9 is fixedly installed on the ground on one side of the workbench 1. Two mounting brackets 10 are fixed on the disassembly table 9. The two mounting brackets 10 are parallel to each other and their upper surfaces are inclined. Several sets of hooks 11 are fixed on the inclined upper surfaces. The two ends of the connecting rod 5 are hung on the same set of hooks 11. At this time, the connecting rod 5 is horizontal. The hooks 11 on the same mounting bracket 10 are evenly distributed along the same straight line perpendicular to the connecting rod 5. A positioning roller 12 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 10 through a rotating shaft. The positioning roller 12 is horizontal and parallel to the connecting rod 5 on the hooks 11. One end of the sock cover 3 is fitted onto the connecting rod 5. The side wall of the sock cover 3 near the other end abuts against the positioning roller 12. At this time, the sock cover 3 is tilted downward towards the worker's side, making it easier for the worker to remove the sock.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A cooling rack 13 is fixed on the ground on the side of the disassembly table 9 away from the workbench 1. Parallel support rods 14 are fixed on the inner sidewalls of the cooling rack 13. The support rods 14 are horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the positioning roller 12. Several slots 15 are opened on the upper end face of the support rods 14. The slots 15 are evenly distributed along the length of the support rods 14. After the steam-shaped socks are taken out from the shaping device, the two ends of the connecting rod 5 are engaged in the corresponding slots 15. The slots 15 pass through the support rods 14 axially along the connecting rod 5 at that point to increase the length of the slots 15 and meet the needs of connecting rods 5 of different lengths. At the same time, since the support rods 14 are fixed on the inner sidewalls of the cooling rack 13, the cooling rack 13 closes the opening on one side of the slots 15 to prevent the connecting rods 5 from moving axially and disengaging from the slots 15.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The column 4 includes a fixed cylinder 16 fixed to the upper surface of the workbench 1. A sliding cylinder 17 is slidably disposed inside the fixed cylinder 16.

A snap-fit ​​groove 6 is opened on the sliding cylinder 17. A plurality of positioning holes 18 are opened on the outer wall of the sliding cylinder 17. The plurality of positioning holes 18 are evenly distributed along the height direction. A positioning pin 19 is slidably connected to the fixed cylinder 16 and passes through the fixed cylinder 16. The positioning pin 19 is horizontally set and inserted into one of the positioning holes 18 to adjust the height of the sliding cylinder 17 in the vertical direction to meet the needs of different heights.

[0036] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: The socks are placed on the workbench 1 in the storage area. A connecting rod 5 with several sock covers 3 is installed in the snap-fit ​​groove 6 of the column 4. The worker takes the socks, rotates the sock covers 3 around the connecting rod 5 to a suitable position, and puts the socks on the sock covers 3. During the process of putting on the socks, the connecting rod 5 provides a certain support and abutment for the sock covers 3. Since the worker does not need to use their body as a support, it avoids injury to the body and improves the worker's work efficiency. The put-on socks are transferred to the shaping device through the connecting rod 5 and the sock covers 3 for shaping. After shaping, the socks are transferred to the cooling rack 13 for natural cooling. After cooling, the socks are transferred to the disassembly table 9, and then the worker removes the socks from the sock covers 3.

[0037] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
