Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of socks, and in particular to the technical field of sock label hook mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Socks are a crucial pillar of my country's light textile industry. As people's living standards and quality of life improve year by year, their demand for socks has shifted from quantity to quality. Socks go through various processes, including knitting, sewing, turning, shaping, and packaging, before being sold in the market. Packaging, as the final and important step in the sock manufacturing process, not only enhances the socks' appearance and added value but also protects them and facilitates transportation and storage. As a daily necessity, socks require multiple processes in their production. In the packaging process, attaching hooks to the sock cardboard requires a dedicated person to arrange and insert the hooks into the cardboard slots. This manual assembly is extremely inefficient. Due to labor shortages and rising labor costs, the extensive use of manual labor inevitably increases production costs.

[0003] Existing patent CN212048174U discloses a sock hook conveying device for a sock packaging machine, which can realize the automatic sorting and output of sock hooks, and the sock hooks are automatically output one by one to avoid the sock hooks being affected by tangling; however, it cannot insert the flat hooks into the paper card slot. Summary of the Invention

The pushing and pulling mechanism consists of a fixed plate, a third linear slide, and a pushing body. The fixed plate is mounted on the frame and has an inlet cavity that is adapted to the flat hook. The discharge rail of the vibratory feeder extends into the discharge cavity. The fixed plate is connected to a third linear slide, which includes a third sliding body. The third sliding body is connected to a pushing body, which is in contact with the fixed plate. The pushing body and the vibratory feeder are located on opposite sides of the fixed plate. The pushing body has a receiving cavity on the side near the fixed plate that is adapted to the flat hook. One end of the receiving cavity is open, and when the flat hook is inside the receiving cavity, the hook of the flat hook is exposed outside the receiving cavity.

[0010] Preferably, the third linear slide is vertically arranged and includes a cylinder that drives the third sliding body to move. The push-pull body is fixed on the top of the third sliding body, and the receiving cavity is a cavity with an open top, the width of which is equal to the thickness of the flat hook.

[0026] Example 3:

[0027] The feeding mechanism consists of a vibratory feeder 4 and a pushing mechanism 5. The vibratory feeder 4 includes a discharge rail 40, and the hook of the flat hook 6 is hooked onto the discharge rail 40. The pushing and pulling mechanism consists of a fixed plate 50, a third linear slide 55, and a pushing body 57. The fixed plate 50 is mounted on the frame and has an inlet cavity that is adapted to the flat hook 6. The discharge rail 40 of the vibratory feeder 4 extends into the discharge cavity 51. The fixed plate 50 is connected to a third linear slide 55. The third linear slide 55 includes a third sliding body 56, which is connected to a pusher body 57. The pusher body 57 is in contact with the fixed plate 50. The pusher body 57 and the vibrating plate 4 are located on opposite sides of the fixed plate 50. The pusher body 57 has a receiving cavity 58 on the side near the fixed plate 50. The receiving cavity 58 is adapted to the flat hook 6. One end of the receiving cavity 58 is open. When the flat hook 6 is located inside the receiving cavity 58, the hook part of the flat hook 6 is exposed outside the receiving cavity 58.

[0028] The third linear slide 55 is vertically arranged and includes a cylinder that drives the third sliding body 56 to move. The push-pull body is fixed on the top of the third sliding body 56. The receiving cavity 58 is a cavity with an open top and the width of the receiving cavity 58 is equal to the thickness of the flat hook 6.

[0029] A limiting plate 52 is connected to the top of the fixing plate 50, and a limiting groove is formed between the limiting plate 52 and the fixing plate 50. The hook in the receiving cavity 58 passes through the limiting groove.

[0030] The working process of this utility model:

[0031] In operation, the sock label flat hook mechanism of this utility model works in conjunction with a paper pressing mechanism for fixing the paper card 7. The paper pressing mechanism is located above the sock label flat hook mechanism. The flat hook 6 is hung on the discharge rail 40 under the action of the vibrating plate 4 and moves along the discharge rail 40. The flat hook 6 enters the discharge cavity 51, and the frontmost flat hook 6 enters the receiving cavity 58 of the pusher body 57. The third linear slide 55 drives the pusher body 57 to move upward, and the flat hook 6 in the receiving cavity 58 moves upward with the pusher body 57 until it moves upward. When the hook of the flat hook 6 is higher than the fixed plate 50, the automatic clamping claw 3 is initially in the open state and located directly above the flat hook 6 in the receiving cavity 58. The second linear slide 2 drives the first servo motor 30 and the automatic clamping claw 3 connected to the first servo motor 30 to move downwards until the hook of the flat hook 6 extends into the clamping opening. The automatic clamping claw 3 clamps the hook of the flat hook 6. Then, the second linear slide 2 drives the first servo motor 30 and the automatic clamping claw 3 connected to the first servo motor 30 to move upwards. When the flat hook 6 is higher than the mounting plate 50, the first servo motor... The three actions—the automatic gripper 3 rotating 180°, the second linear slide 2 driving the first servo motor 30 to continue moving upward, and the first linear slide 1 driving the second linear slide 2 to move horizontally towards the paper card 7—are performed simultaneously. These three actions stop synchronously after the servo motor 30 drives the automatic gripper 3 to rotate 180°. At this point, the flat hook 6 is just positioned on the slot 70 of the paper card 7. Then, the first linear slide 1 drives the second linear slide 2 to move in the opposite direction a short distance, so that both sides of the flat hook 6 are engaged with the slot 70. Then the automatic gripper 3... The flat hook 6 is separated, and then the automatic clamping claw 3 returns to its initial position under the combined action of the first linear slide 1, the second linear slide 2 and the first servo motor 30. During the process of the automatic clamping claw 3 clamping the flat hook 6 until the automatic clamping claw 3 resets, the third linear slide 55 drives the pusher body 57 to reset. A new flat hook 6 will enter the receiving cavity 58 of the pusher body 57. The third linear slide 55 drives the pusher body 57 to move upward. The flat hook 6 in the receiving cavity 58 moves upward with the pusher body 57 until the hook part of the flat hook 6 is higher than the fixed plate 50.
