Abstract

This invention belongs to the field of sock processing technology, and specifically relates to a sock turning device for sock processing and production. This invention uses a push rod installed inside a connecting rod to push the sock, which is fitted onto a sleeve, downwards. Simultaneously, based on the connection between the round rod on the push rod and the waist-shaped groove on one side of the first sliding component, the push rod can drive one side of the first sliding component to move downwards. At this time, the second sliding component connected to the other side of the first sliding component moves upwards. Due to the limiting effect created by the connection between the protrusion on the second sliding component and another set of waist-shaped grooves on the inner wall of the moving bracket groove, an angle is created between the second and first sliding components, reducing the distance between the second sliding component and the sleeve. The two sets of second sliding components can thus achieve a clamping effect. During clamping, they can also push the bottom of the sock upwards following the movement of the push rod, allowing the sock to be turned over more quickly and effectively improving efficiency.

Each support plate 11 has the same circular hole, and a set of push rods 8 are installed in the circular hole. A set of through waist-shaped slots are opened on both sides of the middle part of the connecting rod 5. The push rods 8 are installed in the waist-shaped slots through the protruding columns fixed on both sides, and the push rods 8 can also move along the direction of the waist-shaped slots. A set of cylinders 10 are installed on the circular hole of the movable support plate 11. The piston rod inside the cylinder 10 is connected to the top of the push rod 8 inside the connecting rod 5. The cylinder 10 can move the push rod 8 inside the connecting rod 5 by driving the piston rod. A set of support seats is opened on the other side of the movable support plate 11. Another set of cylinders 10 is installed on the support frame 3. The support seats opened on the movable support plate 11 are connected to the piston rod inside the other set of cylinders 10. Only the other set of cylinders 10 needs to be driven to control the movement of the connecting rod 5 inside the circular hole opened on the support frame 3. The movable bracket 4 has two sets of symmetrical grooves inside, and two sets of first sliding components 6 and second sliding components 7 are respectively installed inside the grooves. The first sliding component 6 has a round hole. A cylinder that matches the round hole on the first sliding component 6 is fixed in the groove on the movable bracket 4, so that the first sliding component 6 can rotate inside the groove through the cylinder. A connecting bracket that matches the side of the second sliding component 7 is provided on the shorter side of the first sliding component 6, so that the first sliding component 6 can drive the second sliding component 7 to rotate when it rotates. A set of waist-shaped slots is provided on the longer side of the first sliding component 6. A round rod that matches the waist-shaped slots on the first sliding component 6 is fixed in the middle part of the top rod 8.
