Detailed Implementation
[0026] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, the sock production sorting device includes:
[0028] The conveyor belt 1, sorting component, storage box 11, base plate 12, first slider 13, and reminder component 14 are used for transporting socks. The upper end of the conveyor belt 1 is provided with a sorting component for sorting socks.
[0029] Two storage boxes 11 for storing socks are provided at one end of the conveyor belt 1. The bottom plate 12 is installed inside the two storage boxes 11 through a plurality of first sliders 13 arranged in a ring. The lower end of the two storage boxes 11 is provided with a reminder component 14 to support the storage box 11. When there are many socks inside the storage box 11, it is used to remind the operator to replace the storage box 11.
[0030] In addition, the storage box 11 is located at the discharge end of the conveyor belt 1, and the bottom plate 12 supports the socks inside the storage box 11 and slides inside the storage box 11 via the first slider 13.
[0031] Both reminder components 14 include a fixed base 141, a lifting plate 142, a second slider 143, a spring 144, a control button 145, and an alarm light 146. The lower end of each of the two storage boxes 11 is provided with a fixed base 141. The lifting plate 142 is installed inside each of the two fixed bases 141 through a plurality of second sliders 143 arranged in a ring. A plurality of springs 144 are evenly distributed between the lifting plate 142 and the fixed base 141. The control button 145 is provided inside each of the two fixed bases 141. An alarm light 146 electrically connected to the control button 145 is provided on the side wall of each of the two fixed bases 141.
[0032] Furthermore, during installation, the storage frame 11 presses down the lifting plate 142, compressing the spring 144. When the storage frame 11 is positioned directly above the fixing base 141, the lifting plate 142 rises under the elastic force of the spring 144, locking between the storage frame 11 and the fixing base 141, thus limiting the storage frame 11. When there are many socks inside the storage frame 11, the base plate 12 descends under gravity, causing the lifting plate 142 to descend and compress the spring 144. When the lifting plate 142 disengages from the storage frame 11, it simultaneously contacts the control button 145 while limiting the storage frame 11. The control button 145 then illuminates the alarm light 146 to remind the operator to replace the storage frame 11. The recommended model for the control button 145 is the Schneider XB5 series waterproof button, and the recommended model for the alarm light 146 is the Patlite NHL-24V tri-color alarm light.
[0033] The two lifting plates 142 are slidably connected to the two storage boxes 11 and the two fixed seats 141, respectively.
[0034] Specifically, the lifting plate 142 is slidably connected to the storage frame 11 and the fixed base 141. When the lifting plate 142 slides into the storage frame 11, the lifting plate 142, together with the diversion frame 6 and the partition 8 above, plays the role of limiting the storage frame 11.
[0035] The sorting assembly includes a first fixed plate 4, a guide plate 5, a diversion frame 6, a second fixed plate 7, a partition 8, an electric telescopic rod 9, and a pusher frame 10. Two guide plates 5 are symmetrically distributed at the upper end of the conveyor belt 1 via the first fixed plate 4. The partition 8 and two diversion frames 6 are respectively installed at the upper end of the conveyor belt 1 via the second fixed plate 7. Two electric telescopic rods 9 are symmetrically distributed at the upper end of the conveyor belt 1. A pusher frame 10 for moving the position of the socks is provided at the output end of each of the two electric telescopic rods 9.
[0036] On the other hand, the side wall of the diversion frame 6 is provided with a groove that matches the push frame 10, so as to facilitate the storage of the push frame 10. The first fixing plate 4 is fixed to the upper end of the conveyor belt 1 and is fixedly connected to the guide plate 5. The guide plate 5 guides the socks. The electric telescopic rod 9 drives the push frame 10 to move. The push frame 10 pushes the socks to one side. Under the action of the conveyor belt 1, the socks move. The partition 8 and the diversion frame 6 on the corresponding side limit the socks. The second fixing plate 7 is fixed to the upper end of the conveyor belt 1 and is fixedly connected to the diversion frame 6 and the partition 8. The recommended model of the electric telescopic rod 9 is: LINAK LA36 (thrust 500N, stroke 100-600mm adjustable).
[0037] The two diversion frames 6 are fixedly connected to the two guide plates 5 respectively, and the two diversion frames 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the partition plate 8.
[0038] It is worth mentioning that the diversion frame 6 and the partition 8 work together to divert the socks while limiting their position.
[0039] The upper end of the conveyor belt 1 is fixedly connected to a fixing frame 2 for mounting two electric telescopic poles 9, and a camera 3 is installed inside the fixing frame 2.
[0040] It is worth noting that the fixed frame 2 is used to install the electric telescopic pole 9, the camera 3 takes pictures of the socks and transmits the information to the controller, which then controls the corresponding electric telescopic pole 9 to work. The recommended model for the camera 3 is Basl erace acA2000-50gc (5 megapixels, global shutter).
[0041] The two base plates 12 are slidably connected to the two storage boxes 11 respectively, and the two base plates 12 are in contact with the two lifting plates 142 respectively.
[0042] Preferably, the base plate 12 contacts the lifting plate 142 and moves up and down inside the storage frame 11 along with the lifting plate 142.
[0043] In use, socks are intermittently placed on the conveyor belt 1, creating gaps between them. The guide plate 5 guides the socks, and the camera 3 takes pictures of the socks and transmits the information to the controller. The controller controls the corresponding electric telescopic rod 9 to work, which in turn moves the push frame 10. The push frame 10 pushes the socks to one side, and under the action of the conveyor belt 1, the socks move. The partition 8 and the diversion frame 6 on the corresponding side limit the socks, and the socks fall into the storage box 11 at the corresponding position. The bottom plate 12 supports the socks inside the storage box 11, and at the same time, the first slider 13 slides inside the storage box 11.
[0044] When there are many socks inside the storage box 11, the base plate 12 descends under the action of gravity. The base plate 12 drives the lifting plate 142 to descend, compressing the spring 144. When the lifting plate 142 disengages from the storage box 11, it contacts the control button 145 at the same time limiting the storage box 11. The control button 145 controls the alarm light 146 to light up, which reminds the operator to replace the storage box 11.
[0045] The control method of the conveyor belt 1, camera 3, electric telescopic pole 9, control button 145, and alarm light 146 in this application is automatic control by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art and is common knowledge in the field. Furthermore, this application is mainly used to protect the structure, shape, and their combination, so this application will not explain the control method and circuit connection in detail. The device is powered by a built-in power supply or an external power supply.
[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
