Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Sock shaping and drying equipment is a crucial step in the knitted product processing. It is primarily used for heat setting and drying after the sock body is formed, ensuring a neat appearance, stable dimensions, and improved finished product quality. With the increasing automation and large-scale development of sock processing, the requirements for drying equipment in terms of efficiency, functional integration, and environmental performance are constantly rising. This has prompted continuous optimization and upgrading of related equipment in terms of structure and technology to meet the needs of modern production lines.

[0003] Existing sock drying equipment typically employs a blower-heated structure, using a fan to draw outside air into the heating chamber, where hot air dries the wet socks. Mechanically, some equipment features removable covers or inspection doors for easy manual maintenance and filter replacement; others use traditional bolts and nuts for sealing, ensuring a tight-fitting heating environment. While such equipment offers basic industrial applicability in its drying functions, there is still room for improvement in its dust filtration and ease of operation.

[0004] However, existing technologies generally suffer from a significant problem: during equipment operation, outside air enters the equipment directly without adequate filtration. Dust and impurities carried in the air are easily carried into the drying chamber by the hot air, adhering to the surface of the socks or internal components, causing secondary contamination of the products. Furthermore, because traditional dustproof devices often employ fixed installation structures, replacing or cleaning the dustproof screen requires disassembling multiple parts, making operation cumbersome, hindering rapid maintenance, and impacting production efficiency. These problems limit the practicality and automation level of shaping and drying equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a sock shaping and drying device, which aims to improve the problem of directly sucking in dust from the outside air during the drying process, causing secondary pollution.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a sock shaping and drying device, comprising a cylinder, a guide rail fixedly connected inside the cylinder, a limit block slidably connected inside the guide rail, a frame fixedly connected to the top of the limit block, and a drying component provided on one side of the cylinder;

[0007] The drying assembly includes a heating wire tube, one end of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cylinder, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a housing. A fan is fixedly connected inside the housing, a connecting column is fixedly connected to one side of the fan, a magnet is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting column, a connecting sleeve is fitted on the outer wall of the connecting column, a connecting assembly is provided inside the connecting sleeve, a positioning shell is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve, and a dustproof net is fixedly connected inside the positioning shell.

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

[0009] The connecting assembly includes a guide post, one end of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve. The connecting post has a threaded groove inside, and the guide post is slidably connected inside the threaded groove.

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

[0011] A connecting block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cylinder, and a bracket is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cylinder.

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

[0013] An electric push rod is rotatably connected inside the first connecting block, and the output end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the second connecting block.

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

[0015] One side of the connecting block two is rotatably connected to the bracket two, and one side of the bracket two is fixedly connected to the sealing door.

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

[0017] The second bracket is rotatably connected to the inside of the first bracket on one side, and a slot is provided inside the sealed door.

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

[0019] The outer wall of the cylinder is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft, and the outer wall of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a bolt.

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

[0021] The outer wall of the bolt fits into the slot, and a nut is threaded onto the outer wall of the bolt.

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

[0023] 1. In this utility model, the connecting sleeve is first rotated counterclockwise to separate the guide post from the threaded groove inside the connecting sleeve, and the connecting sleeve from the magnet. Then the dustproof net is removed, which achieves the effect of dust prevention while drying and facilitates the replacement of the dustproof net. This solves the problem of directly sucking in dust from the outside air during drying, causing secondary pollution, and improves the practicality of the shaping and drying equipment.

[0024] 2. In this utility model, after loosening the nut, the bolt is rotated around the pivot, causing the bolt to be pulled out of the slot. Then, the output end of the electric push rod extends and drives the second bracket to rotate around the first bracket through the second connecting block. In turn, the second bracket drives the sealing door to rotate and open the cylinder, achieving the effect of automatic door opening. This solves the problem that traditional drying equipment requires manual unlocking and opening, which is inconvenient, and improves the convenience of the shaping and drying equipment.

[0032] 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.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a sock shaping and drying device, including a cylinder 1. The cylinder 1 forms a closed drying chamber to facilitate the stability and concentration of hot air. A guide rail 4 is fixedly connected inside the cylinder 1. The guide rail 4 provides guiding sliding support for internal structural components. A limit block 6 is slidably connected inside the guide rail 4. The limit block 6 limits the movement position of a frame 5 to ensure its sliding stability inside the cylinder 1. A frame 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the limit block 6. The frame 5 supports the sock shaping structure or hanging bracket to keep the socks stable during the drying process. A drying component is provided on one side of the cylinder 1 to provide hot air for rapid drying of the socks.

[0034] The drying assembly includes a heating wire pipe 2, which contains a heating wire element for heating the airflow. One end of the heating wire pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cylinder 1 to facilitate a stable connection and ensure effective hot air intake. The other end of the heating wire pipe 2 is fixedly connected to a housing 3, which serves as a hot air delivery chamber and protects the internal fan 7 and airflow guiding structure. The fan 7 is fixedly connected inside the housing 3 and draws in external air, pushing it through the heating wire pipe 2 to form a hot airflow, thus improving drying efficiency. A connecting post 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the fan 7, supporting and connecting a magnetic sealing structure to improve equipment maintenance convenience. A magnet 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting post 8, allowing for detachable magnetic engagement with external components such as a connecting sleeve 11, facilitating subsequent assembly disassembly and installation. A connecting sleeve 11 is fitted onto the outer wall of the connecting post 8, allowing for rotational separation during assembly and disassembly, protecting the connecting post 8 and its internal threads. A connecting assembly is installed inside the connecting sleeve 11. The connecting assembly is used to achieve an adjustable fit between the connecting sleeve 11 and the connecting post 8, improving structural stability and versatility. A positioning shell 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 11. The positioning shell 12 is used to fix the dustproof net 13 and keep its position from shifting after installation. The dustproof net 13 is fixedly connected inside the positioning shell 12. The dustproof net 13 is used to filter dust particles in the intake air and prevent impurities from entering the cylinder 1 and causing product contamination. The connecting assembly includes a guide post 14, one end of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 11. The guide post 14 is used to guide the mating direction of the connecting sleeve 11 with the connecting post 8 when the connecting sleeve 11 is rotated for installation or disassembly, thereby improving the convenience and accuracy of assembly. The connecting post 8 has a threaded groove 10 inside, which cooperates with the guide post 14 to form a threaded connection structure, realizing the rotatable assembly of the connecting component and improving the sealing and reusability of the dustproof component. The guide post 14 is slidably connected inside the threaded groove 10, and can move stably during connection or disassembly, thereby realizing the reliable operation of the detachable connection structure under high temperature and high humidity conditions.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5A connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cylinder 1. The connecting block 15 provides stable installation support for the electric push rod 16, ensuring that its position is fixed and the force is evenly distributed during operation. A bracket 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cylinder 1. The bracket 17 provides rotational connection support for the bracket 18, forming the opening rotation axis of the sealing door 20. The electric push rod 16 is rotatably connected inside the connecting block 15. After being energized, the electric push rod 16 can drive its output end to move axially and extend and retract, realizing the function of an automatic drive mechanism. A connecting block 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 16. The connecting block 19 serves as a connection and conversion component, used to transmit the linear motion of the electric push rod 16 to the bracket 18, thereby driving the sealing door 20. The bracket 18 is rotatably connected to one side of the connecting block 19. Under the drive of the connecting block 19, the bracket 18 rotates around its own rotation axis, realizing the opening or closing action of the sealing door 20. The sealing door 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the bracket 18. The sealing door 20 is used to close the opening of the cylinder 1 when closed. To prevent heat loss and improve drying efficiency, one side of the second bracket 18 is rotatably connected to the inside of the first bracket 17, forming a rotary connection mechanism for the sealing door 20. This ensures that the sealing door 20 runs smoothly when opening or closing. The sealing door 20 has a slot 24 inside, which is used to engage with the bolt 22, providing a mechanical locking structure to ensure that the sealing door 20 will not open automatically when closed. A rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the cylinder 1. The rotating shaft 21 can rotate around its own axis to drive the bolt 22 to rotate. The rotating shaft 21 is inserted into or out of the slot 24 to achieve mechanical locking or release of the sealing door 20. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 21 is fixedly connected to a bolt 22. The bolt 22 and the slot 24 form a mating structure to provide physical limiting and sealing functions, preventing the door from loosening or falling off when not in operation. The outer wall of the bolt 22 is threaded with a nut 23. The nut 23 is used to lock the bolt 22 after it is inserted into the slot 24, preventing the bolt 22 from loosening due to vibration or airflow disturbance during the drying process, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the sealing door 20 structure.

[0036] Working principle: When using this sock shaping and drying equipment, firstly, the socks are hung neatly in the frame 5. Then, the bottom of the frame 5 slides into the guide rail 4 through the limiting block 6. Then, the heating wire inside the heating wire pipe 2 generates heat. The fan 7 draws outside air into the heating wire pipe 2 after filtering it through the dustproof net 13, so that the heating wire heats the air. Then, the hot air enters the drum 1 to dry and shape the socks. Then, the hot air is discharged from the ventilation valve on one side of the drum 1, thereby realizing air convection circulation. When replacing the dustproof net 13, simply rotate the connecting sleeve 11 counterclockwise to separate the guide post 14 inside the connecting sleeve 11 from the threaded groove 10, and separate the connecting sleeve 11 from the magnet 9, thereby removing the dustproof net 13. This achieves the effect of drying while preventing dust and making it easy to replace the dustproof net 13.

[0037] When it is necessary to open the cylinder 1, first loosen the nut 23 and then rotate the bolt 22 around the pivot 21 to pull the bolt 22 out of the slot 24. Then, the output end of the electric push rod 16 extends and drives the bracket 18 to rotate around the bracket 17 through the connecting block 2 19. In turn, the bracket 18 drives the sealing door 20 to rotate and open the cylinder 1, which makes it easier to take out the frame 5, thus achieving the effect of automatic door opening.

[0038] 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.
