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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a sock-making turning device, including a workbench 1, a drive motor 2 fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1, and a turning assembly 3 and a positioning assembly 4 fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1; the turning assembly 3 includes a lead screw 31, a fixing block 32 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 31, a sliding plate 33 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 31, a top post 34 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding plate 33, a first spring 35 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top post 34, an extension rod 36 slidably connected to the inner wall of the top post 34, a sleeve post 37 fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1, an anti-slip pad 38 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve post 37, the outer wall of the fixing block 32 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the workbench 1, the output end of the drive motor 2 fixedly connected to the lead screw 31, and the sleeve post 37 fixed to the rotating... At the top of the plate 42, the anti-slip pad 38 prevents the sock from falling off after being put on the sleeve post 37. The drive motor 2 drives the electric lead screw 31 to rotate. The slide plate 33 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the worktable 1 through the lead screw 31. The outer wall of the extension rod 36 contacts the inner wall of the sleeve post 37. One end of the first spring 35 is fixedly connected to the top of the extension rod 36, and the other end of the first spring 35 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top post 34. When the lead screw 31 rotates, it drives the slide plate 33 to slide up and down in the groove of the inner wall of the worktable 1. When the slide plate 33 drives the extension rod 36 to contact the inner wall of the sleeve post 37, the extension rod 36 will flip the sock on the outer wall of the sleeve post 37 to the inner wall of the sleeve post 37. After the extension rod 36 rises, the sock is put on the outer wall of the extension rod 36, completing the flipping. The first spring 35 can assist the connection between the extension rod 36 and the sleeve post 37.

[0025] The positioning component 4 includes a fixed post 41, a turntable 42 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixed post 41, a positioning block 43 inserted into the inner wall of the turntable 42, a sliding box 44 slidably connected to the bottom of the positioning block 43, a second spring 45 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding box 44, a pressure plate 46 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the positioning block 43, an auxiliary rod 47 slidably connected to the inner wall of the pressure plate 46, the bottom of the fixed post 41 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the workbench 1, and a slot provided on the outer wall of the turntable 42. 1. The external placement of the turntable 42 is restricted. The slot can be engaged with the positioning block 43. The second spring 45 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning block 43. The bottom of the slide box 44 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the worktable 1. The bottom of the auxiliary rod 47 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the worktable 1. The positioning block 43 is engaged with the slot on the inner wall of the turntable 42 by the elastic force of the second spring 45 to complete the positioning. The slide box 44 restricts the position of the fixed block 32. The auxiliary rod 47 assists the pressure plate 46 in pulling the positioning block 43.

[0026] In use, the sock to be turned inside out is placed on the sleeve post 37. The anti-slip pad 38 on the outer wall of the sleeve post 37 effectively prevents the sock from falling off, providing initial fixation. The drive motor 2 is started, and its output end drives the lead screw 31 to rotate. Since the slide plate 33 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 31, and the slide plate 33 can slide in the groove on the inner wall of the worktable 1, the rotation of the lead screw 31 will drive the slide plate 33 to slide up and down along the inner wall of the worktable 1. When the slide plate 33 slides down, the extension rod 36 on the inner wall of the top post 34 first... Under the action of spring 35, the sock remains in initial contact with the inner wall of sleeve 37. As slide plate 33 slides upward, top column 34 and extension rod 36 rise together. Extension rod 36 gradually contacts the sock on the outer wall of sleeve 37 and flips the sock towards the inner wall of sleeve 37. During this process, first spring 35 assists extension rod 36 in connecting with sleeve 37, ensuring that extension rod 36 can smoothly push the sock to flip over. When extension rod 36 rises to a certain height, the sock is successfully put on extension rod 37. The outer wall of the 6 completes one flipping action. The turntable 42, which is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the fixed post 41, can rotate flexibly. When placing socks, the turntable 42 can be adjusted to a suitable position so that the socks can be easily put on the sleeve post 37. The positioning block 43 is inserted into the inner wall of the turntable 42, and its bottom is connected to the second spring 45 on the inner wall of the sliding box 44. When the turntable 42 rotates to the predetermined position, the positioning block 43 is inserted into the corresponding slot in the inner wall of the turntable 42 under the elastic force of the second spring 45, thereby achieving the positioning and fixing of the turntable 42. To prevent the turntable 42 from shaking or shifting during the sock turning process and to ensure the stability of the turning operation, the pressure plate 46 and the auxiliary rod 47 work together to further position and fix the socks, ensuring that the socks maintain the correct position and posture during the turning process and avoiding turning failure due to sock displacement. After completing one turning operation, if it is necessary to continue turning, press the pressure plate 46 to disengage the positioning block 43 from the slot, and the turntable 42 can be rotated again to repeat the above process, so as to realize the continuous turning production of socks.
