Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sock processing technology, specifically a steam setting device for sock processing. Background Technology

[0002] As we all know, socks need to be shaped after they are knitted to ensure that they maintain a certain shape after being worn and to increase their lifespan. The current method of shaping socks mainly uses steam shaping, which uses steam to shape the cotton yarn of the socks.

[0003] In existing steam setting devices for sock processing, the steam nozzles are usually fixedly installed on the housing, lacking a convenient disassembly structure. This fixed installation causes significant inconvenience when the steam nozzle is damaged and needs to be replaced: operators need to spend a lot of time disassembling the connecting parts, and may even damage the housing or the surrounding structure of the nozzle due to forced disassembly. This not only prolongs the equipment downtime for maintenance, but may also affect the efficiency of subsequent setting processes. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a steam setting device for sock processing.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a steam setting device for sock processing, comprising a base plate, a housing, a switch door, a steam nozzle, a connecting pipe, and a connecting mechanism. The housing is disposed on the top of the base plate, the switch door is disposed on the front of the housing, the connecting pipe is disposed on the steam nozzle, the top of the housing has an opening, and the output end of the steam nozzle extends into the opening. Two connecting mechanisms are provided, each comprising a vertical block, a through groove, a cylinder, a square block, an electric push rod, a limiting plate, a spring, and a connecting plate. The vertical block is disposed on the top of the housing, and the through groove is formed in the steam nozzle. On the steam nozzle, one end of the cylinder is connected to the inner wall of the through groove, and the other end of the cylinder extends into the block. The block has a circular groove that matches the cylinder. The other end of the block passes through the steam nozzle and extends into the vertical block. The vertical block has a square groove that matches the block. One end of the electric push rod is connected to the top of the vertical block, and the other end of the electric push rod is connected to one end of the limiting plate. The other end of the limiting plate extends into the circular groove and contacts the cylinder. One end of the spring is connected to the side of the steam nozzle, and the other end of the spring is connected to one end of the connecting plate. The other end of the connecting plate is connected to the block.

[0008] To improve stability, this utility model is improved by symmetrically arranging the two connecting mechanisms.

[0009] To improve the sealing effect, the present invention includes an improvement whereby a sealing strip is provided around the opening and closing door, and the sealing strip is fixedly connected to the opening and closing door.

[0010] To improve the sealing effect, the present invention is improved by using silicone material for the sealing strip.

[0011] To improve the connection effect, the present invention is improved by welding the upright block to the top of the box.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 A steam setting device for sock processing includes a base plate 1, a housing 2, a switch door 3, a steam nozzle 4, a connecting pipe 5, and a connecting mechanism 6. The housing 2 is located on top of the base plate 1, the switch door 3 is located on the front of the housing 2, the connecting pipe 5 is located on the steam nozzle 4, and the top of the housing 2 has an opening into which the output end of the steam nozzle 4 extends. Two connecting mechanisms 6 are provided, each including a vertical block 7, a through groove 8, a cylinder 9, a square block 10, an electric push rod 11, a limiting plate 12, a spring 13, and a connecting plate 14. The vertical block 7 is located on top of the housing 2, the through groove 8 is formed on the steam nozzle 4, and one end of the cylinder 9... The cylinder 9 is connected to the inner wall of the through groove 8. The other end of the cylinder 9 extends into the block 10. The block 10 has a circular groove that matches the cylinder 9. The other end of the block 10 passes through the steam nozzle 4 and extends into the vertical block 7. The vertical block 7 has a square groove that matches the block 10. One end of the electric push rod 11 is connected to the top of the vertical block 7. The other end of the electric push rod 11 is connected to one end of the limiting plate 12. The other end of the limiting plate 12 extends into the circular groove and contacts the cylinder 9. One end of the spring 13 is connected to the side of the steam nozzle 4. The other end of the spring 13 is connected to one end of the connecting plate 14. The other end of the connecting plate 14 is connected to the block 10.

[0023] Working principle: Place the equipment in the designated working position. The base plate 1 can provide stable support for the entire equipment. Then connect the equipment to the external mains power to ensure the power supply of the equipment. Next, accurately connect the pipe of the external steam generator to the connecting pipe 5 to ensure that the steam delivery channel is unobstructed.

[0024] During operation, first open the switch door 3. The box 2 has a pre-set bracket for hanging socks. Put the socks to be shaped on the bracket one by one and arrange them neatly. Then close the switch door 3 and start the steam generator. The steam enters the steam nozzle 4 through the connecting pipe 5 and then sprays the steam evenly onto the socks inside the box through the output end of the steam nozzle 4 (extending into the top opening of the box 2). The steam is used to shape the cotton threads of the socks.

[0025] After processing, staff must wear protective gloves (to avoid burns from high temperatures), open switch door 3, and take out the shaped socks.

[0026] When steam nozzle 4 is damaged and needs to be replaced, the operating steps are as follows:

[0027] First, disconnect the external steam generator from the connecting pipe 5 to cut off the steam source;

[0028] Start the electric push rod 11 on the upright block 7. The electric push rod 11 drives the limiting plate 12 to move upward, so that the limiting plate 12 is completely separated from the circular groove in the block 10, and the limiting of the cylinder 9 is released.

[0029] At this time, the spring 13, which was originally in a stretched state, will generate a rebound force, which will drive the block 10 to retract into the through groove 8 through the connecting plate 14 until the block 10 is completely separated from the square groove opened on the vertical block 7.

[0030] As block 10 moves, cylinder 9 will continue to go deeper along the circular groove on block 10;

[0031] After wearing protective gloves, the staff can lift the steam nozzle 4 upwards to remove it from the top opening of the box 2 (a sealing ring is provided at the contact point between the steam nozzle 4 and the box 2, which can enhance the steam sealing effect and prevent leakage during operation);

[0032] When replacing the new steam nozzle 4, simply follow the reverse steps of disassembly. The new part can be purchased from the manufacturer, and its installation steps are well known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0033] To improve the stability and force balance of the connection between the steam nozzle and the housing, the two connection mechanisms 6 in this embodiment adopt a symmetrical distribution design. This symmetrical arrangement ensures that the fixing force on both sides of the steam nozzle remains consistent, avoiding loosening of the connection or tilting of the steam nozzle due to excessive force on one side. This ensures that its output end is always accurately aligned with the opening at the top of the housing, reducing the risk of steam leakage. At the same time, the symmetrical structure allows for balanced force on both sides during disassembly and installation, reducing the possibility of deformation of components due to uneven force during operation, and further improving the overall reliability and service life of the connection mechanism.

[0034] To further improve the sealing performance of the housing and reduce steam leakage during the shaping process, in this embodiment, a sealing strip is specially provided around the opening and closing door 3, and the sealing strip is fixedly connected to the opening and closing door 3. This design can fill the gap between the opening and closing door 3 and the housing 2 by tightly fitting the sealing strip to the edge of the housing, effectively preventing steam from escaping from the joint, ensuring that the housing maintains a stable steam pressure and temperature, thereby improving the shaping effect of the socks. At the same time, the fixed connection method can prevent the sealing strip from loosening or falling off during frequent opening and closing operations, extending its service life and ensuring long-term stable sealing effect.

[0035] To further enhance the sealing effect and ensure the stability of the steam setting process, the sealing strip around the opening and closing door 3 in this embodiment is specially made of silicone. Silicone has excellent high-temperature resistance and can maintain good elasticity and sealing performance under the high-temperature environment during steam setting, avoiding sealing failure due to material aging. At the same time, its good flexibility allows it to fit tightly against the contact surface between the opening and closing door and the box, filling tiny gaps and reducing steam leakage. In addition, silicone is wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and can adapt to frequent opening and closing operations of the opening and closing door, extending the service life of the sealing strip and ensuring long-term stable sealing performance, providing a reliable guarantee for the quality of sock setting.

[0036] To enhance the stability of the connection mechanism and the housing, and improve the overall structural strength of the equipment, in this embodiment, the vertical block 7 is connected to the top of the housing 2 by welding. Welding can form a permanent rigid connection, making the vertical block 7 and the housing 2 a whole under stress. It can effectively withstand the pressure generated when the steam nozzle is working and the external forces during disassembly and installation, preventing the vertical block 7 from loosening or shifting. Compared with other detachable connections, this connection method has higher load-bearing capacity and stability, ensuring that the connection mechanism always maintains a precise alignment relationship during long-term use. This provides a solid foundation for the stable installation and reliable operation of the steam nozzle, and further guarantees the overall working performance of the equipment.

[0037] To further enhance the overall structural stability of the equipment and ensure reliable support of the base plate 1 for the housing 2 and upper components, the base plate 1 in this embodiment is specifically made of alloy steel. With its high strength and high toughness, alloy steel can effectively bear the total weight of the housing 2, the housing, and internal components, preventing deformation or breakage during long-term use. Simultaneously, its excellent fatigue resistance can withstand vibration and impact during equipment operation, and its wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant properties can adapt to factors such as moisture in the processing environment, extending the service life of the base plate 1. This material selection ensures the stability of the equipment from the basic structural level, providing solid support for the safe and stable operation of the steam setting process.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
