[0027] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown,

[0029] A sock processing turning device, comprising a base 1, a rotating mechanism, a turning assembly, and a detection assembly.

[0030] A rotating mechanism for automatic rotation of socks is installed at one top end of the base 1, and a fixing frame 11 is installed at the other top end of the base 1. A flipping component is installed on the fixing frame 11 to cooperate with the rotating mechanism to flip the socks covered by the rotating mechanism and unload them.

[0031] A detection component for detecting yarn breakage and shimmering defects in socks is installed at one end of the top back of the base 1. The detection component includes a support plate 18, a fixing seat 19, an industrial camera 20, a locking block 21, a slot 22, and a shield 23. The fixing seat 19 is located on the upper back of the support plate 18 for fixing the industrial camera 20. The industrial camera 20 is installed in the center of the inner side of the fixing seat 19. The locking block 21 is fixed around the inner side of the fixing seat 19. The slot 22 corresponding to the locking block 21 is opened on the upper back of the support plate 18. The slot 22 is locked and fixed to the locking block 21. The shield 23 is installed on the top of the support plate 18 for shielding and protecting the industrial camera 20.

[0032] This utility model uses components such as a support plate 18, a fixed base 19, an industrial camera 20, a locking block 21, a locking slot 22, and a shielding plate 23 to facilitate the detection of defects such as broken yarns or shiny threads on socks, thereby improving detection efficiency and the quality of sock production. It also facilitates the disassembly, repair, and replacement of the industrial camera 20. Furthermore, the shielding plate 23 provides protection for the industrial camera 20, offering a degree of dust protection.

[0033] Furthermore, the industrial camera 20 is triggered by an external signal to acquire images of the socks, thereby enabling the detection of defects such as broken yarns and shiny threads. At the same time, the industrial camera 20 is secured by the combination of the locking block 21 on the fixing base 19 and the locking slot 22 on the support plate 18, thus facilitating the disassembly, replacement and installation of the industrial camera 20.

[0034] The control process of the industrial camera 20 is initiated by external trigger signals (such as PLC pulses or sensor I / O) or software instructions (such as SDK / GigE protocol) to start image acquisition. The FPGA or DSP chip controls the sensor exposure and data readout timing. After converting the light signal into a digital image, it is transmitted to the processor through a high-speed interface (Camera Link / CoaXPress). It also supports dynamic parameter adjustment (gain / exposure time / ROI) and hardware trigger synchronization (multiple cameras or motion mechanisms), ultimately achieving millisecond-level precision closed-loop control of image acquisition-processing-output.

[0035] The industrial camera 20 is model FLIR BFS-U3-51S5C, with a resolution of 2448×2048.

[0036] The rotating mechanism includes a stepper motor 2, a rotating rod 3, a connecting seat 5, a connecting rod 7, a connecting ring 8, and a sleeve rod 9. The output end of the stepper motor 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 3, which drives the connecting seat 5 to rotate at a uniform speed. The top of the rotating rod 3 is equipped with the connecting seat 5. Six sets of connecting rods 7 are evenly arranged on the curved surface of the connecting seat 5. One end of each connecting rod 7 is fixed to a connecting ring 8. The top of the connecting ring 8 is evenly arranged with six sets of sleeve rods 9 for covering the sock. A locking post 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each sleeve rod 9. The locking post 10 engages with a corresponding groove 1001 on the top of the connecting ring 8. The groove 1001 and the locking post 10 are compatible, allowing for the disassembly, replacement, and installation of the sleeve rod 9.

[0037] Furthermore, the stepper motor 2 is driven by a digital pulse sequence sent by an external controller, which causes the rotating rod 3 to drive the connecting seat 5 to rotate at a uniform speed, thereby indirectly causing the connecting ring 8 and the sleeve rod 9 to rotate with the connecting seat 5, thus realizing the automatic rotation of the sock.

[0038] The control process of stepper motor 2 is to drive the motor to run by sending digital pulse sequences through a controller (such as a PLC or microcontroller). Each pulse corresponds to a fixed angle (step angle). The driver converts the control signal into phase current and switches the stator magnetic field according to a preset mode (full step / half step / micro step) to make the rotor rotate gradually. The speed is controlled by adjusting the pulse frequency and the number of pulses is changed to achieve precise positioning. Acceleration and deceleration algorithms are used to avoid step loss. In the closed-loop system, the position error is corrected in real time through encoder feedback. Finally, the digital command is accurately converted into mechanical motion.

[0039] The stepper motor 2 is model 42BYGHW208, with a step angle of 1.8°.

[0040] A retainer 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connector 5. The retainer 4 is engaged with the top of the rotating rod 3. Six sets of insertion holes 6 are evenly arranged on the outer curved surface of the connector 5. A connecting rod 7 is engaged inside the insertion hole 6 for disassembling and installing the connecting rod 7.

[0041] The flipping assembly includes an electric telescopic rod 12 and a flipping rubber head 13. The electric telescopic rod 12 is fixedly installed at one end of the top of the fixed frame 11. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 12, which passes through the bottom of the fixed frame 11, is fixed with the flipping rubber head 13, which is used to flip the socks on the sleeve rod 9.

[0042] The electric telescopic pole 12 is model LINAK LA36. The control process of the electric telescopic pole 12 is to send PWM signals or relay commands through the controller (such as PLC or microcontroller) to drive the motor (DC / stepper / servo). After the torque is converted by the reduction mechanism, it drives the lead screw or gear system to move linearly. The built-in position sensor (encoder / Hall element) provides real-time feedback on the extension and retraction of the pole. The control system dynamically adjusts the output through a closed-loop algorithm (such as PID) to achieve millimeter-level accuracy stroke control. It also integrates limit switches and overload protection, supports external IO triggering, Modbus communication or manual button operation, and finally completes precise linear displacement execution.

[0043] Specifically, after the sock moves close to the industrial camera 20 for shooting, the control system controls the stepper motor 2 to stop so that the industrial camera 20 can shoot and detect it. After shooting, the control system controls the stepper motor 2 to run, so that it moves the sock at a constant speed to the top of the storage tank 14 and locks it again. Then, the electric telescopic rod 12 is started, so that its output end drives the flipping rubber head 13 to descend, thereby aligning with the center of the connecting ring 8 and descending quickly, so that the sock is flipped over and put into the storage tank 14 for storage.

[0044] Connecting blocks 24 are fixedly connected to the bottom perimeter of the baffle plate 23. The connecting blocks 24 are snapped into the corresponding connecting grooves 25 on the top of the support plate 18, and the connecting grooves 25 and the connecting blocks 24 are compatible. The cooperation between the connecting blocks 24 and the connecting grooves 25 facilitates the disassembly and installation of the baffle plate 23.

[0045] A storage slot 14 is provided between the fixing brackets 11 at both ends of the top of the base 1 and the stepper motor 2. A miniature dual-axis cylinder 15 is fixed to one end of the back of the base 1. A push plate 16 is fixed to the output end of the miniature dual-axis cylinder 15, which extends into the storage slot 14, so that the socks can be automatically discharged after being stored. Limiting plates 17 are fixed at both ends of the opening on the front of the storage slot 14 to limit and block the push plate 16.

[0046] By activating the miniature dual-axis cylinder 15, its output end drives the push plate 16 to move back and forth in the storage slot 14, so that the push plate 16 pushes out the socks in the storage slot 14; at the same time, the limiting plate 17 set on the front of the storage slot 14 limits and blocks the push plate 16.

[0047] The SMC MGPM12-10 model of the miniature dual-axis cylinder 15 is controlled by receiving electrical signals from the PLC or controller through a solenoid valve (such as a 5-way 2-position valve). This switches the direction of compressed air flow to drive the piston in bidirectional motion. The built-in magnetic switch or photoelectric sensor detects the piston position in real time and feeds it back to the control system. The output pressure (0.1~0.7MPa) is precisely controlled by the air pressure regulating valve, and the movement speed is adjusted in conjunction with the throttle valve. In precision applications, a servo pneumatic system can be integrated to achieve closed-loop position control (±0.01mm accuracy). Typical actions include gripping-translation-release, ultimately completing highly repeatable linear reciprocating motion.

[0048] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
