Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sock production technology, specifically to an ironing device for sock production with a protective structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the sock manufacturing industry, ironing is a key process for improving product quality, directly affecting the smoothness, texture, and market competitiveness of the product. With the continuous growth of market demand for socks and the increasing quality requirements, the limitations of traditional ironing equipment in sock production are becoming increasingly apparent. Hot air blowers can quickly penetrate the fibers through water molecules in steam or water mist, increasing the moisture content of the fibers, making them swell and become softer.

[0003] Traditional ironing equipment often exposes its high-temperature ironing components. These devices typically feature high-temperature components such as metal heating plates and steam nozzles, which can reach surface temperatures of 180℃-250℃ during operation, far exceeding the safe temperature threshold that human skin can withstand. When placing or removing small textiles such as socks, operators need to frequently bring their hands close to the high-temperature area. Furthermore, the thin material of socks and the narrow operating space make it easy to accidentally touch the high-temperature components due to unstable grip or deviation in movement. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an ironing device for sock production with a protective structure. This solves the problem that when operators place or remove small textiles such as socks, their hands need to frequently approach high-temperature areas, and the thin and light texture of socks and the narrow operating space make it easy to accidentally touch high-temperature components due to unstable grip or deviation in movement.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an ironing device for sock production with a protective structure, comprising a workbench, a drive motor fixedly connected to the top of the workbench, a hot air blower fixedly connected to the top of the workbench, and a protective component and an ironing component fixedly connected to the top of the workbench; the protective component includes a bidirectional lead screw, a movable plate threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw, a fixed column fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable plate, an auxiliary rod slidably connected to the inner wall of the movable plate, an air duct fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed column, a protective sliding box slidably connected to the outer wall of the air duct, a spring fixedly connected to the outer wall of the air duct, and an ironing plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air duct.

[0008] Preferably, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to a bidirectional lead screw, the moving plate is slidably connected to the top of the workbench via the bidirectional lead screw, and the spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protective slide box. The bidirectional lead screw can make the two moving plates move synchronously in opposite directions to ensure that the protective components on both sides move in unison. The air duct moves in opposite directions driven by the moving plates. When the two slide boxes on both sides come into contact, the spring fixedly connected to the outer wall is compressed, causing the protective slide box to slide on the outer wall of the air duct. The ironing plates on the inner wall of the air duct are in contact with each other. After ironing is completed, the two moving plates move away from each other. When the two protective slide boxes are no longer in contact, the spring releases its elastic force to push the protective slide box back to its original position. The protective slide box can prevent workers from being burned during operation.

[0009] Preferably, the auxiliary rod is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench via a fixing plate, and the top of the workbench is fixedly connected to the fixing plate, so that the auxiliary rod prevents the moving plate from shifting during movement.

[0010] Preferably, the ironing assembly includes a fixing frame, a connecting block slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame, a connecting piece fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting block, a fixing rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting block, and a sleeve fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting piece.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench, and there are two sets of the sock covers, with three covers in each set. One set of covers can be used to put on the socks in advance during the ironing process.

[0012] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0013] This utility model provides an ironing device for sock production with a protective structure. It has the following features:

[0014] Beneficial effects:

[0015] (I) This ironing device for sock production with a protective structure uses a bidirectional lead screw as the core transmission component. The two moving plates on both sides move synchronously in opposite directions through motor drive. When the protective sliding boxes on both sides come into contact, the compression characteristics of the springs come into play, which not only allows the protective sliding boxes to slide smoothly on the outer wall of the air duct, but also ensures that the ironing plate can be accurately fitted for ironing. After ironing is completed, the moving plates move in the opposite direction, the springs quickly release their elasticity, and push the protective sliding boxes to quickly return to their original position, completely enveloping the high-temperature ironing plate. This process forms a closed-loop safety protection mechanism, which can isolate workers from contact with high-temperature components and reduce the risk of burns, whether in the preparation stage before ironing, during ironing, or after ironing.

[0016] (II) The sock production ironing device with a protective structure uses two sets of pads (three in each set) working alternately. In actual production, when one set of pads is ironing socks, the operator can make full use of this time to put the socks on the other set of pads in advance. This seamless cyclical working mode reduces the idle waiting time of the equipment in the traditional single ironing method. Through the alternating operation of the two sets of pads, the equipment can always keep running and shorten the ironing cycle of a single batch of socks. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: an ironing device for sock production with a protective structure, including a workbench 1, a drive motor 2 fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1, a hot air blower 3 fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1, a protective component 4 and an ironing component 5 fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1; the protective component 4 includes a bidirectional lead screw 41, a moving plate 42 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw 41, a fixed column 43 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the moving plate 42, an auxiliary rod 45 slidably connected to the inner wall of the moving plate 42, an air duct 46 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed column 43, a protective sliding box 44 slidably connected to the outer wall of the air duct 46, a spring 48 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the air duct 46, and an ironing plate 47 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air duct 46; the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 41, and the moving plate 42 is connected to the workbench 1 via the bidirectional lead screw 41. The top sliding connection is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protective sliding box 44 by the spring 48. The bidirectional screw 41 can make the two moving plates 42 move synchronously in opposite directions to ensure that the two protective components 4 move in unison. The air duct 46 moves in opposite directions driven by the moving plate 42. When the two sliding boxes are in contact, the spring 48 fixedly connected to the outer wall is compressed, causing the protective sliding box 44 to slide on the outer wall of the air duct 46. The ironing plates 47 on the inner wall of the air duct 46 are in contact with each other. After ironing, the two moving plates 42 move away from each other. When the two protective sliding boxes 44 are not in contact, the spring 48 releases its elastic force to push the protective sliding box 44, so that the protective sliding box 44 returns to its original position. The protective sliding box 44 can prevent workers from being burned during work. The auxiliary rod 45 is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1 through the fixed plate, and the top of the workbench 1 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate. The auxiliary rod 45 prevents the moving plate 42 from shifting during the movement.

[0024] The ironing assembly 5 includes a fixed frame 51, a connecting block 52 slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 51, a connecting piece 53 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting block 52, a fixed rod 54 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 52, and a sleeve 55 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting piece 53. The bottom of the fixed frame 51 is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1. There are two sets of sleeves 55, with three sleeves in each set. During the ironing process, one set of sleeves 55 can be used to put on the socks in advance. The two sets of sleeves 55 work in a cycle, which can improve the working speed.

[0025] When in use, the drive motor 2 starts, and the hot air blower 3 changes the structure and state of the fabric fibers through the combined action of heat, pressure, and humidity (steam), thereby achieving the effect of smoothing clothes and removing wrinkles. Its output end drives the bidirectional lead screw 41 to rotate. Since the bidirectional lead screw 41 is threadedly connected to the two moving plates 42 on both sides, according to the principle of thread transmission, the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 41 can make the two moving plates 42 move in opposite directions synchronously, ensuring that the two protective components 4 on both sides move in unison. When the moving plates 42 move, they drive the fixed column 43 and the air duct 46 to move in opposite directions together. The protective sliding box 44 on the outer wall of the air duct 46 moves accordingly. When the two protective sliding boxes 44 on both sides come into contact, the spring 48 fixedly connected to the outer wall is compressed, and the protective sliding box 44 slides on the outer wall of the air duct 46. At this time, the ironing plates 47 on the inner wall of the air duct 46 are in contact with each other, ready for the sock ironing work. When the sock ironing is completed, the drive motor 2 reverses, and the bidirectional lead screw 41 drives the two moving plates 42 to move in opposite directions synchronously, ensuring that the two protective components 4 on both sides move in unison. The plate 42 moves away from both sides, and the two protective sliding boxes 44 no longer contact each other. The spring 48 releases its elastic force to push the protective sliding box 44 back to its original position, wrapping the ironing plate 47 to prevent workers from being burned in subsequent operations. The auxiliary rod 45 is fixed to the top of the workbench 1 by the fixing plate and plays a guiding role during the movement of the moving plate 42 to prevent it from deviating and to ensure the stability of the operation of the protective component 4. As for the ironing component 5, the bottom of the fixing frame 51 is fixed to the top of the workbench 1, and the connecting block 52 can slide on the inner wall of the fixing frame 51. The bottom of the connecting piece 53 on the outer wall of the connecting block 52 is fixed with two sets of sleeves 55, three in each set. During the ironing process, when one set of sleeves 55 is used to iron socks, the operator can put the socks on the other set of sleeves 55 in advance to realize the two sets of sleeves 55 working in a cycle and improve work efficiency. At the same time, the hot air blower 3 runs, and the hot air generated is transmitted to the ironing plate 47 through the air duct 46 to provide heat for ironing.
