[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model is a sock knitting thread feeding device, including a support frame 1, and further including: a thread feeding roller 2 rotatably connected to the front surface of the support frame 1, and a collection box 3 distributed on one side of the thread feeding roller 2; the thread feeding rollers 2 are equidistantly distributed along one end surface of the support frame 1, and the number of thread feeding rollers 2 is the same as the number of collection boxes 3; the thread feeding rollers 2 are rotatably connected to the support frame 1 through bearing seats; an air pump 4 is distributed on the back of the support frame 1, and one end of the air pump 4 is connected to a first pipe 5, and the other end of the first pipe 5 is connected to a second pipe 6; the second pipe 6 is connected to the first pipe 5, and the first pipe 5 penetrates the side of the support frame 1. The wall is connected to the inside of the collection box 3. A partition 7 is fixedly provided on the inside of the collection box 3, and a movable rod 8 passes through the inside of the partition 7. The surface of the partition 7 has holes with a diameter that matches the movable rod 8. One end of the movable rod 8 is connected to a cleaning roller 9. The cleaning rollers 9 are evenly distributed on the inside of the collection box 3. A first spring 10 is sleeved on the outside of the movable rod 8. The two ends of the first spring 10 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the partition 7 and one end surface of the movable seat 11, respectively. The end of the movable rod 8 away from the cleaning roller 9 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 11, and a damper 12 is fixedly provided on the other side of the movable seat 11. A filter structure is distributed on one side of the partition 7.

[0024] During operation, the wire wound on the surface of the wire feeding roller 2 is fed into the inside of the collecting box 3 through the through hole 15 at one end, and then output through the through hole 15 on the other side of the collecting box 3. When the wire is conveyed to the inside of the collecting box 3, it comes into contact with the cleaning roller 9. At this time, the cleaning roller 9 pushes the movable rod 8 laterally under the action of force, causing the movable rod 8 to slide along the hole in the side wall of the partition 7. When the movable rod 8 slides laterally, it will cause the first spring 10 to deform and generate a reverse force. At the same time, the lateral movement of the movable rod 8 will push the movable seat 11, which will then squeeze the damper 12 fixedly connected to one end, realizing the deformation of the damper 12, and thus... The reverse force generated by the deformation of the damper 12 and the first spring 10 will laterally push the cleaning roller 9, making it better contact with the surface of the wire. Then, the rotatable cleaning roller 9 is used to remove lint or impurities from the surface of the wire. At the same time, the air pump 4 works to generate suction force, which is then transported to the inside of the collection box 3 through the connection of the first pipe 5 and the second pipe 6. Under the action of suction force, the lint and other impurities that have been swept away will pass through the honeycomb plate 13. Then, the filter cotton adsorption plate 14 is used to filter and adsorb the air mixed with lint, leaving the swept lint and other impurities inside the collection box 3 for subsequent centralized processing.

[0025] The filter structure includes a honeycomb plate 13, a filter cotton adsorption plate 14, and through holes 15. The honeycomb plate 13 is distributed on the side of the inner cavity of the collection box 3 away from the partition 7, and the filter cotton adsorption plate 14 is distributed on the side of the honeycomb plate 13 away from the partition 7. The filter cotton adsorption plate 14 and the honeycomb plate 13 are distributed in a flat shape, and the through holes 15 are symmetrically distributed along both ends of the collection box 3. The surface of one end of the collection box 3 is provided with through holes 15.

[0026] During operation, when the wire enters the inside of the collection box 3 through the through hole 15, it passes through the cleaning rollers 9. Multiple cleaning rollers 9 are provided to remove impurities or lint adhering to the surface of the wire. Then, under the action of the air pump 4, the removed lint is drawn into the other end of the collection box 3 through the honeycomb plate 13. The filter cotton adsorption plate 14 is then used to filter and purify the air mixed with lint, so that the cleaned-off lint and other impurities are left inside the collection box 3 for subsequent centralized processing.

[0027] Auxiliary rollers 16 are distributed on one side of the collection box 3, and a fixed frame 17 is distributed on the other side of the auxiliary rollers 16. A guide rod 18 passes through the inner side of the fixed frame 17, and a second spring 19 is sleeved on the outer surface of the guide rod 18. A guide block 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second spring 19, and a tension roller 21 is fixedly connected to one end surface of the guide block 20. A hole with a diameter that matches the outer diameter of the guide rod 18 is opened on the inner side of the guide block 20. A wire feeding drum 22 is distributed on the side of the tension roller 21 away from the auxiliary rollers 16. The wire feeding drums 22 are equidistantly distributed on the front end surface of the support frame 1.

[0028] During operation, the wire output through the through hole 15 at one end of the collection box 3 passes over the surface of the auxiliary roller 16 and then winds around the surface of the tension roller 21. When the wire passes over the surface of the tension roller 21, the tension roller 21 will drive the guide block 20 to move longitudinally along the guide rod 18 under the action of force. When the guide block 20 moves longitudinally, it will squeeze the second spring 19 fixedly connected to its bottom, realizing the deformation of the second spring 19. Then, the reverse force generated by the deformation of the second spring 19 can make the guide block 20 push the tension roller 21 in the opposite direction, thereby using the tension roller 21 to tension the conveyed wire. After the tensioning treatment, the wire will be sent out through the wire feeding drum 22.

[0029] The cleaning roller 9 is slidably connected to the partition plate 7 via the movable rod 8, and the movable rod 8 is symmetrically distributed along the transverse center line of the cleaning roller 9;

[0030] During operation, the sweeping roller 9 moves laterally, which drives the movable rod 8 to move along the hole opened on the side wall of the partition 7. The movement of the movable rod 8 will cause the first spring 10 and the damper 12 to deform, so that the reverse force generated by its deformation can be used to make the sweeping roller 9 better contact with the surface of the wire. Then, the rotatable sweeping roller 9 is used to clean the surface of the wire to remove impurities.

[0031] The through holes 15 are symmetrically distributed along the vertical center line of the collection box 3, and the through holes 15 and the collection box 3 form an integrated structure.

[0032] During operation, the through holes 15 are symmetrically distributed along both sides of the collection box 3, and the through holes 15 on both sides are located on the same horizontal line, which facilitates the subsequent conveying of the wire.

[0033] The tension roller 21 is slidably connected to the guide rod 18 via the guide block 20, and the guide rod 18 passes through the inner side of the guide block 20 and is vertically connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 17.

[0034] During operation, the tensioning roller 21 will drive the guide block 20 to move longitudinally under the action of force. At this time, the guide block 20 moves longitudinally along the guide rod 18, and at the same time, the guide block 20 will squeeze the second spring 19 along the guide rod 18, so that the reverse force generated by the deformation of the second spring 19 can be used to assist the tensioning roller 21 to spring back and tension the conveyed wire.

[0035] Working principle: The wire is wound around the surface of the feeding roller 2. The wire wound on the surface of the feeding roller 2 is fed into the inside of the collecting box 3 through the through hole 15 at one end, and then output through the through hole 15 on the other side of the collecting box 3. When the wire is conveyed to the inside of the collecting box 3, it will come into contact with the cleaning roller 9. At this time, the cleaning roller 9 pushes the movable rod 8 laterally, causing the movable rod 8 to slide laterally along the partition 7 and drive the first spring 10 to deform. At the same time, the lateral movement of the movable rod 8 will push the movable seat 11, which will then squeeze the damper 12 fixedly connected to one end, realizing the deformation of the damper 12. The reverse force generated by the deformation of the damper 12 and the first spring 10 will push the cleaning roller 9 laterally, so that it can better contact the surface of the wire. Then, the rotatable cleaning roller 9 is used to remove the lint or impurities on the surface of the wire. At the same time, the vacuum pump 4 works to generate suction force, and then through the first spring 10... The connection between pipe 5 and the second pipe 6 delivers the suction force to the inside of the collection box 3. Under the action of the suction force, the swept-off lint and other impurities pass through the honeycomb plate 13. Then, the filter cotton adsorption plate 14 filters and adsorbs the air mixed with lint, leaving the swept-off lint and other impurities inside the collection box 3 for subsequent centralized processing. The wire output through the through hole 15 at one end of the collection box 3 passes through the surface of the auxiliary roller 16 and then winds around the surface of the tension roller 21. Under the action of force, the tension roller 21 drives the guide block 20 to move longitudinally along the guide rod 18. The longitudinal movement of the guide block 20 compresses the second spring 19. The reverse force generated by the deformation of the second spring 19 causes the guide block 20 to push the tension roller 21 in the opposite direction, thereby using the tension roller 21 to tension the conveyed wire. The tensioned wire is then sent out through the wire feeding drum 22.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and do not limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or to some of the technical features, shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
