Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of live-fitting stocking production technology, and in particular to an automatic live-fitting stocking sewing and turning machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of automation technology in knitting machinery, bodysuits, as a common type of knitted garment, have placed high demands on the toe-sewing and turning operations during production. Traditional bodysuit production equipment typically separates the toe-sewing and turning processes, resulting in low overall process efficiency. To improve the consistency and production efficiency of bodysuits, the market has created new technological demands for automated equipment with integrated toe-sewing and turning capabilities. Therefore, developing a compact, highly automated, and continuous operation-capable automatic bodysuit toe-sewing and turning machine has significant application value.

[0003] In existing technologies, the seaming and turning processes of common bodysuits typically employ separate mechanical structures for segmented operations. Seaming is usually completed using a sewing machine in conjunction with a positioning mechanism, while turning involves a clamping and rotating mechanism to exchange the inside and outside of the stocking. This method usually relies on manual feeding and segmented processing. Although it can turn the stocking inside out, its complex structure, long process flow, and degree of manual intervention make it difficult to meet the requirements of the modern knitwear industry for efficient, continuous, and automated operations.

[0004] However, existing technologies still rely on manual operation or semi-automatic feeding mechanisms in the unloading process after the sock body is turned inside out. This makes it impossible to achieve continuous unloading and non-stop operation of the sock body after turning it inside out, resulting in interruption of the overall processing flow and seriously affecting production rhythm and efficiency. Therefore, an automatic sewing and turning machine for one-piece socks is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an automatic toe-sewing and turning machine for one-piece socks. It aims to improve the existing technology, which still relies on manual operation or semi-automatic feeding mechanisms in the unloading process after the sock body is turned over. This makes it impossible to achieve continuous unloading and non-stop operation of the sock body after the turning is completed, resulting in interruption of the overall processing flow and seriously affecting the production cycle and efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic sewing and turning machine for one-piece socks, comprising a sewing machine body, a sewing head mechanism disposed above the sewing machine body, a sock turning machine body disposed on one side of the sewing machine body, a sock turning mechanism disposed on one side of the sock turning machine body, an inspection cover disposed on one side of the outer wall of the sock turning machine body, and a feeding component installed on the inner wall of the sock turning machine body;

[0007] The feeding assembly includes a motor. One side of the outer wall of the motor is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the sock turning machine body. A turntable is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A connecting shaft one is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the turntable. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft one. A connecting shaft two is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting rod. A rotating plate is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft two. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating plate. The outer wall of the rotating shaft is inserted through the interior of the sock turning machine body. A guide channel is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] A rotating rod is fixedly connected to one side of the sock turning machine body, and a hinge seat is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the rotating rod.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] A collection box is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the hinge seat, and a connecting plate is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the collection box.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] A rotating rod is fixedly connected inside the connecting plate, and a U-shaped frame is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] One side of the outer wall of the U-shaped frame is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the sock turning machine body, and a pedal is fixedly connected to the other side of the outer wall of the U-shaped frame.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The connecting plate and the U-shaped frame are both fixedly connected to connecting columns on the side near the sewing machine body, and a tension spring is provided between the two connecting columns.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The guide channel is located directly above the collection box and is used to guide the bodysuit into the collection box.

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0021] The guide channel is located directly below the sock-turning mechanism, and the guide channel is used to continuously convey bodysuits into the collection box from both sides.

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. In this utility model, the motor drives the connecting shaft one on the outside of the turntable to rotate, thereby facilitating the reciprocating motion of the connecting shaft two inside the connecting rod. Then, the connecting shaft two drives the rotating shaft inside the rotating plate to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft enables the continuous feeding of the bodysuits that have been turned over by the sock-turning mechanism, achieving the effect of non-stop operation and thus improving the production efficiency of the machine.

[0024] 2. In this utility model, stepping on the pedal causes the U-shaped frame to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating rod to push the collection box on one side of the connecting plate to rotate. At this time, the lifting of one side of the collection box facilitates the quick unloading of the bodysuits inside the collection box. Simultaneously, the return of the tension spring ensures that the collection box is quickly reset to receive the material, preventing the bodysuits from falling to the ground and causing dirt, thereby improving the practicality of the machine.

[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of an automatic toe-sewing and turning machine for bodysuits, comprising a sewing machine body 1, a toe-sewing mechanism 2 disposed above the sewing machine body 1 for automatically sewing the toes of bodysuits to improve sewing accuracy and work efficiency; a turning machine body 3 disposed on one side of the sewing machine body 1 for supporting and installing structural components related to turning and feeding operations; a turning mechanism 4 disposed on one side of the turning machine body 3 for turning the bodysuits with sewn toes inside out, realizing the exchange of the bodysuit from the inside to the outside; and an inspection cover 5 disposed on one side of the outer wall of the turning machine body 3. This design facilitates maintenance and repair of the internal components of the sock-turning machine body 3 by operators, improving the reliability and stability of equipment operation. A feeding assembly is installed on the inner wall of the sock-turning machine body 3. This assembly guides the turned-over socks into a collection device, forming a continuous automatic operation process. The feeding assembly includes a motor 6, one side of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sock-turning machine body 3, providing continuous driving force as a power source. A turntable 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 6, transmitting the rotational motion output by the motor 6 to the linkage system 9. A connecting rod 9 system is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the turntable 7. Connecting shaft 8 serves as a rotary connecting component, transmitting torque to the subsequent connecting rod 9. Connecting rod 9 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of connecting shaft 8, and is used to achieve reciprocating oscillating motion under rotary drive, acting as a motion conversion mechanism. Connecting shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of connecting rod 9, acting as a relay transmission during motion and driving the subsequent rotating plate 11 to perform corresponding actions. Rotating plate 11 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of connecting shaft 10, and can achieve angle adjustment under the drive of connecting shaft 10, thereby driving the internal structure's movement. The inner wall of rotating plate 11 is fixed... A rotating shaft 12 is fixedly connected to the main body 3 of the sock turning machine, which acts as a linkage to transmit rotation to other internal structures. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 12 is installed through the interior of the main body 3 of the sock turning machine to achieve synchronous drive of the internal mechanisms. A guide channel 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 12. The guide channel 13 is located directly above the collection box 16 to guide the body socks into the collection box 16 for standardized feeding. The guide channel 13 is also located directly below the sock turning mechanism 4 to promptly export the finished body socks after the turning action is completed, so that they can smoothly enter the collection box 16 and ensure continuous material flow.

[0033] Specifically, through the coordinated operation of the above structures, a continuous operation process can be achieved from sewing the toe of the bodysuit and turning it inside out to automatic feeding, reducing manual intervention, increasing the degree of automation, and significantly improving production efficiency and equipment operation stability.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-4 A rotating rod 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the main body 3 of the sock-turning machine. The rotating rod 14 serves as the initial driving element for supporting and deflecting the collection box 16. One end of the rotating rod 14 is fixed to the main structure to provide a stable rotation fulcrum. A hinge seat 15 is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the rotating rod 14. The hinge seat 15 serves as an intermediate transition structure connecting the rotating rod 14 and the collection box 16, allowing the collection box 16 to flip or swing under the drive of the rotating rod 14. A collection box 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the hinge seat 15. The collection box 16 is used to centrally carry and collect the finished body socks that have completed the sock-turning process. It has a capacity for easy subsequent processing or handling. A connecting plate 17 is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the collection box 16. The connecting plate 17 supports and links the rotating rod 18 to achieve mechanical motion control of the overall mechanism, and can also assist in adjusting the flipping angle of the collection box 16. A rotating rod 18 is fixedly connected inside the connecting plate 17. The rotating rod 18 serves as a rotating shaft 12 and is used to connect the pedal 2. The external force applied by 0 is transmitted to the U-shaped frame 19 and realizes the linkage movement of the mechanical structure; the outer wall of the rotating rod 18 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped frame 19. The U-shaped frame 19 serves as a support and connection structure. Driven by the rotating rod 18, it swings back and forth or rotates up and down, forming a transmission path for the action of the auxiliary pedal 20; one side of the outer wall of the U-shaped frame 19 is rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the sock turning machine body 3, so that the U-shaped frame 19 is fixed on the sock turning machine body 3 and has mobility; the other side of the outer wall of the U-shaped frame 19 is fixedly connected to the pedal 20. The pedal 20 is used by the operator to control the action of the foot control mechanism. With the help of the mechanical transmission structure, it controls the opening or flipping of the entire collection box 16 system, realizing the manual auxiliary control function; the connecting plate 17 and the side of the U-shaped frame 19 near the sewing machine body 1 are both fixedly connected to the connecting column 21. A tension spring 22 is set between the two connecting columns 21. The tension spring 22 is used to provide rebound force when the structure is reset, ensuring that the mechanism can automatically return to the initial position after the pedal 20 has completed its action, ensuring the continuity of operation and ease of use.

[0035] Specifically, through the linkage and cooperation between the above structures, the function of stable collection and convenient control of finished bodysuits is realized. The operator can control the opening and closing of the collection box 16 through the pedal 20, and the tension spring 22 can assist it in automatic reset, thereby improving the ease of operation and structural reliability of the later collection process of the bodysuit turning operation.

[0036] Working principle: When the machine is needed, the bodysuit to be sewn is first sewn by the sewing mechanism 2. Then, the sewn bodysuit is transferred to the top of the guide channel 13 by the sock-turning mechanism 4. At the same time, the starter motor 6 drives the outer connecting shaft 8 of the turntable 7 to rotate. The connecting shaft 8 then drives the connecting rod 9 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting rod 9 facilitates the rotation of the outer rotating plate 11 of the connecting shaft 10. The rotation of the rotating plate 11 then facilitates the reciprocating rotation of the outer guide channel 13 of the rotating shaft 12. The rotation of the guide channel 13 facilitates continuous material transfer into the collection box 16. When the collection box 16 is full of bodysuits, the U-shaped frame 19 rotates by stepping on the pedal 20. This, in turn, rotates the outer connecting plate 17 of the rotating rod 18. The connecting plate 17 then drives the collection box 16, which facilitates the tilting of the hinge seat 15 on the outer wall of the rotating rod 14. The collection box 16 also prevents the bodysuits from being piled on the ground and getting dusty. After the material is discharged, the reaction force of the tension spring 22 facilitates the reset of the collection box 16.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
