Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Knitted socks are a type of sock made from yarn through a knitting process. They are characterized by their excellent elasticity, breathability, and comfort. The knitting process relies on a sock knitting machine to complete the sock structure in one go. Knitted sock setting refers to the process of treating the knitted socks with high-temperature steam or hot pressing to stabilize their dimensions and make their appearance smooth. The socks obtain the shape and stiffness required by the design, while improving their wrinkle resistance and durability.

[0003] Current knitted sock manufacturing processes mostly use molding molds, which are boards shaped like human feet. The socks are placed over the board, and then shaped by heating and pressing. Shaping is a crucial finishing process to ensure the quality and performance of the socks.

[0004] Based on the aforementioned technologies, the applicant believes that existing foot-shaped molds require manual rotation of each sock individually for fitting. This manual rotation of the foot-shaped molds is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. To address these issues, we have developed a knitted sock shaping device. Utility Model Content

The bottom of the pressing block has symmetrically formed T-shaped grooves, which are slidably connected to the T-shaped slide rail. The T-shaped grooves and the T-shaped slide rail cooperate with each other.

[0010] The molding mechanism achieves uniform heating and pressure shaping of knitted socks, avoiding the problem of uneven force during manual pressing, and improving the shaping quality and consistency.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a controller is fixedly connected to the front of the molding frame.

[0016] The controller centrally controls the motor and cylinder, realizing the automated linkage of rotation and pressurization processes.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, both the motor and the cylinder are electrically connected to the controller.

[0029] The knitted sock shaping device disclosed in this utility model is mainly used in the scenario of shaping knitted socks.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-5 A knitted sock shaping device includes a forming frame 1, a sliding shaft 2 fixedly connected inside the forming frame 1, a sliding plate 3 equidistantly slidably connected to the outer side of the sliding shaft 2, a forming frame 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate 3, a forming mechanism inside the forming frame 1, the forming mechanism including a rotating component and a forming component, the rotating component and the forming component cooperating with each other, the rotating component including an adjusting shaft 51, the adjusting shaft 51 being rotatably connected inside the sliding plate 3, clearance grooves 57 being provided on both sides of the inner wall of the forming frame 1, the adjusting shaft 51 and the clearance grooves 57 being slidably connected, a return spring 52 being sleeved on the outer side of the sliding shaft 2 and between two adjacent sliding plates 3, a motor 53 fixedly connected to one side of the top of the forming frame 1, a swing plate 54 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 53, a sliding groove 55 being provided inside the swing plate 54, one end of the adjusting shaft 51 extending into the interior of the sliding groove 55 and being slidably connected to the sliding groove 55, limit plates 56 being symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer side of the adjusting shaft 51, the two limit plates 56 and the swing plate 54 cooperating with each other. The molding mechanism includes a T-shaped slide rail 6, which is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the molding frame 1. The molding frame 1 is provided with a pressing block 7, which is provided with a self-heating module to heat one side of the knitted sock. A cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the molding frame 1. The telescopic end of the cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the pressing block 7. The bottom of the pressing block 7 is symmetrically provided with T-shaped grooves 8, which are slidably connected to the T-shaped slide rail 6. The T-shaped grooves 8 and the T-shaped slide rail 6 are used in cooperation with each other.

[0031] In this embodiment: The output end of the motor 53 drives the swing plate 54 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the sliding groove 55 and the adjusting shaft 51, the adjusting shaft 51 slides inside the clearance groove 57, driving the sliding plate 3 to rotate synchronously along the sliding shaft 2. The forming frame 4 rotates 90° around the sliding shaft 2. Then, the worker puts the knitted socks on the outside of the forming frame 4 one by one. Then, the operation is reversed to rotate the forming frame 4 between the support plate 10 and the pressing block 7. Subsequently, the cylinder 9 pushes the pressing block 7 to move along the T-shaped slide rail 6. The self-heating module heats and presses the socks. The support plate 10 provides support to ensure uniform shaping. The return spring 52 assists the sliding plate 3 to return to its original position. Through the set forming mechanism, all forming frames 4 can be rotated uniformly, eliminating the need for workers to rotate them one by one. This greatly improves efficiency, reduces repetitive work, and enables fully automated operation, significantly improving efficiency and product consistency.

[0032] In the above technical solution, considering that the existing foot-shaped mold requires manual rotation of each shoe for sock fitting, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, the following operation is proposed to solve this problem:

[0033] Reference Figures 1-5 In a preferred embodiment, a protective cover 11 is fixedly connected to the molding frame 1 above the motor 53. The protective cover 11 has equidistantly spaced heat dissipation grooves 12 inside. A support plate 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the molding frame 1 on the side away from the cylinder 9. The support plate 10 and the pressing block 7 cooperate with each other. A controller 13 is fixedly connected to the front of the molding frame 1. Both the motor 53 and the cylinder 9 are electrically connected to the controller 13.

[0034] In this embodiment, the design of the protective cover 11 and the heat dissipation groove 12 effectively protects the motor 53 and prevents external interference. At the same time, the heat dissipation groove 12 enhances the heat dissipation performance of the motor 53 and extends the service life of the equipment. The support plate 10 cooperates with the pressing block 7 to provide stable support for the socks, ensuring that the socks are flat and without deviation during the heating and pressing process, further improving the shaping accuracy. The controller 13 centrally controls the motor 53 and the cylinder 9 to realize the automated linkage of the rotation and pressing processes, reduce manual intervention, and improve production efficiency and ease of operation.

[0035] Working principle: In actual use, the operator starts the motor 53, and the output end of the motor 53 drives the swing plate 54 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the sliding groove 55 and the adjusting shaft 51, the adjusting shaft 51 slides inside the clearance groove 57, driving the sliding plate 3 to rotate synchronously along the sliding shaft 2. The forming frame 4 rotates 90° around the sliding shaft 2. Then the operator puts the knitted socks on the outside of the forming frame 4 in sequence. Then the operation is reversed, and the forming frame 4 is rotated into the space between the support plate 10 and the pressing block 7. Subsequently, the cylinder 9 pushes the pressing block 7 to move along the T-shaped slide rail 6. The self-heating module heats and presses the socks. The support plate 10 provides support to ensure uniform shaping. The return spring 52 assists the sliding plate 3 to return to its original position. The whole process is automated, which significantly improves efficiency and product consistency.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
