Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shaping technology in knitted sock production, and in particular to a steam shaping device for knitted sock production. Background Technology

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

[0003] Based on the aforementioned technologies, the applicant believes that during the use of the steam setting device, the steam in the setting chamber can easily cause excessive pressure, resulting in low safety. Furthermore, because the position between the steam outlet and the socks is relatively fixed, the socks in different positions are heated unevenly, leading to differences in the setting effect and poor setting results. In response to the above problems, we have introduced a steam setting device for knitted sock production. Utility Model Content

A setting mechanism is located inside the setting box, and an exhaust assembly is located on the outside of the setting box. The setting mechanism and the exhaust assembly work together. The setting mechanism includes a rotating disk that rotates at equal intervals. Connected to the outside of the air cylinder, each of the three rotating discs has a support tray fixedly connected to its outer side.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the interior of each of the three trays is provided with vents arranged in a circumferential array to facilitate steam flow.

[0013] The tray has ventilation holes to help steam penetrate the sock layer, improve heat exchange efficiency, and avoid uneven shaping in certain areas.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the front of the shaping box is rotatably connected to an opening and closing door, and the interior of the opening and closing door is provided with a transparent observation window.

[0015] The opening and closing door facilitates loading and unloading of socks, while the observation window allows for real-time monitoring of the shaping process, enhancing operational convenience.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and marked in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] The steam setting device for knitted socks disclosed in this utility model is mainly used in the setting of knitted socks.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-5A steam setting device for knitted socks production includes a setting box 1. Support columns 2 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the setting box 1. An air supply cylinder 3 is fixedly connected inside the setting box 1. The bottom of the air supply cylinder 3 extends to the outside of the setting box 1 and is fixedly connected to the output end of an external steam generator. Exhaust holes 4 are equidistantly arranged in a circular array on the outer wall of the air supply cylinder 3. A setting mechanism is located inside the setting box 1, and an exhaust assembly is located on the outside of the setting box 1. The setting mechanism and the exhaust assembly work together. The setting mechanism includes a rotating disk 51, which is equidistantly rotatably connected to the outside of the air supply cylinder 3. Each of the three rotating disks 51 has a support tray 52 fixedly connected to its outer side. The tops of the three support trays 52 are each fixedly connected to a shaping frame 53 in a circular array. The three shaping frames 53 have different sizes. A connecting rod 54 is fixedly connected to the three rotating disks 51 in a circular array. A motor 55 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the shaping box 1. The output end of the motor 55 extends into the interior of the shaping box 1 and is fixedly connected to a first gear 56. A second gear 57 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the lowest rotating disk 51. The first gear 56 and the second gear 57 are meshed together. The exhaust assembly includes a cooling box 7, which is fixedly connected to the outer side of the shaping box 1. An exhaust pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the shaping box 1, and the other end of the exhaust pipe 6 extends into the interior of the cooling box 7. A water inlet 8 for injecting cold water is provided on the top of the cooling box 7, and a drain outlet 9 for draining water is provided on one side of the bottom of the cooling box 7. A pressure reducing pipe 10 for exhausting air is fixedly connected to one side of the interior of the cooling box 7. A pressure detector 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the shaping box 1. The detection end of the pressure detector 11 extends into the interior of the shaping box 1. The pressure detector 11 and the exhaust assembly work together.

[0030] In this embodiment: During operation, steam is evenly injected into the shaping chamber 1 through the exhaust port 4 of the air supply cylinder 3. The motor 55 drives the first gear 56 to rotate the second gear 57, causing the three rotating disks 51 to rotate synchronously, which drives the shaping frame 53 on the support tray 52 and the socks to move at a uniform speed, ensuring uniform heating. The steam penetrates the socks through the vent 12 to achieve efficient shaping. The pressure detector 11 monitors the pressure inside the chamber. When the pressure exceeds the limit, the exhaust component opens through the solenoid valve in the exhaust pipe 6, introducing the steam into the cooling water inside the cooling chamber 7 to cool the steam. Finally, the gas is safely released through the pressure reducing pipe 10. The used cooling water can be discharged through the drain port 9. Through the shaping mechanism and exhaust component, the knitted socks can be quickly shaped, and the knitted socks in different positions can be evenly steam shaped with steam, avoiding uneven heating of the socks, ensuring that the shaping is not differentiated, and avoiding safety accidents caused by excessive pressure inside the shaping chamber. The structure is simple and highly practical.

[0031] In the above technical solution, considering that during the use of the steam setting device, the steam in the setting chamber can easily cause excessive pressure, resulting in low safety, and that because the position between the steam outlet and the socks is relatively fixed, the socks in different positions are heated unevenly, leading to differences in the setting effect and poor setting effect, the specific operation is as follows:

[0032] Reference Figures 1-5 In a preferred embodiment, the interiors of the three trays 52 are each provided with vents 12 arranged in a circumferential array to facilitate steam flow. A door 13 is rotatably connected to the front of the shaping box 1, and a transparent observation window 14 is provided inside the door 13. A controller 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the shaping box 1, and the motor 55 and pressure detector 11 are electrically connected to the controller 15.

[0033] In this embodiment: the tray 52 has ventilation holes 12 to help steam penetrate the sock layer, enhance heat exchange efficiency, and avoid uneven shaping in some areas. The door 13 makes it easy to load and unload socks, and the observation window 14 facilitates real-time monitoring of the shaping process, improving the ease of operation.

[0034] Working principle: During operation, steam is evenly injected into the shaping box 1 through the exhaust port 4 of the air supply cylinder 3. The motor 55 drives the first gear 56 to rotate the second gear 57, causing the three rotating disks 51 to rotate synchronously, which drives the shaping frame 53 on the support tray 52 and the socks to move at a uniform speed, ensuring uniform heating. The steam penetrates the socks through the vent 12 to achieve efficient shaping. The pressure detector 11 monitors the pressure inside the box. When the pressure is too high, the exhaust component opens through the solenoid valve in the exhaust pipe 6, introducing the steam into the cooling water inside the cooling box 7 to cool the steam. Finally, the gas is safely released through the pressure reducing pipe 10. The used cooling water can be discharged through the drain port 9. The controller 15 coordinates the entire process to achieve safe and efficient shaping operation.
