Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sock shaping technology, specifically a sock packaging shaping and flattening device. Background Technology
[0002] Socks are a type of clothing worn on the feet, usually made of materials such as cotton, wool, silk, and synthetic fibers. Socks can reduce friction between shoes and the skin of the feet, prevent foot injuries, and absorb moisture from sweat, keeping the feet dry and helping to prevent foot diseases. In the sock production and packaging process, in order to ensure the neatness and beauty of the product appearance and enhance its market competitiveness, socks need to undergo effective shaping and flattening treatment.
[0003] Traditional sock packaging shaping and flattening devices often lack a pre-flattening process for the socks. When socks are placed in the placement slot in their natural state, they may have many wrinkles. If they are ironed directly without flattening, these wrinkles will be fixed during the ironing process, resulting in an uneven surface after shaping, affecting the appearance and quality of the socks. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a sock packaging shaping and flattening device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sock packaging shaping and flattening device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A sock packaging shaping and flattening device includes a working base plate, a feeding structure, a shaping structure, and a flattening structure. The working base plate has a fixed cylinder fixedly connected to its top end. A first motor is fixedly connected to the top end of the working base plate and inside the fixed cylinder. The output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to a worktable. The worktable has four sets of placement slots inside. Movable slots are provided on both sides of the placement slots on the outer wall of the worktable, and these movable slots communicate with the placement slots. A feeding structure is provided between the movable slots and the fixed cylinder. Several support rods are fixedly connected to the top end of the working base plate and outside the fixed cylinder. A top plate is fixedly connected to the top end of the support rods, and the bottom end of the top plate has the shaping structure and the flattening structure.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the feeding structure includes a round rod, a sliding plate, a spring, a baffle, a first movable block, a linkage rod, a second movable block, a connecting block, and a first roller. The round rod is fixedly connected inside the movable groove, and the sliding plate is slidably connected on the round rod. Two springs are fixedly connected inside the movable groove, and the other end of the springs is fixedly connected to the sliding plate. A baffle is fixedly connected to the sliding plate near the placement groove, and the first movable block is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding plate near the fixed cylinder.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the first movable block is rotatably connected to a linkage rod, and the end of the linkage rod away from the first movable block is rotatably connected to a second movable block. One end of the second movable block is fixedly connected to a connecting block, and one end of the connecting block is fixedly connected to a first roller. The first roller is slidably connected to the fixed cylinder.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the fixed structure includes a first electric push rod, a movable plate and an ironing plate. The bottom end of the top plate is fixedly connected to the first electric push rod, and the output end of the first electric push rod is fixedly connected to the movable plate, and the bottom end of the movable plate is equipped with an ironing plate.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the flattening structure includes a second electric push rod, a flattening box, a second motor, positive and negative lead screws, a guide rod, a threaded sleeve, and a second roller. The bottom end of the top plate is fixedly connected to the second electric push rod, and the output end of the second electric push rod is fixedly connected to the flattening box. The second motor is installed on the outer wall of the flattening box, and the positive and negative lead screws are rotatably connected inside the flattening box. One end of the positive and negative lead screws passes through the flattening box and is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a guide rod is fixedly connected inside the flattening box, and a threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the positive and negative lead screws. The threaded sleeve is inverted U-shaped, and a second roller is rotatably connected inside the threaded sleeve.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an arc-shaped protrusion is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the fixed cylinder, a through groove is provided on the side wall of the fixed cylinder below the arc-shaped protrusion, and a conveyor belt is provided at the top of the working base plate and at the through groove.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This device uses a flattening structure to flatten the socks to be processed. When the placement slot containing the socks rotates to the bottom of the flattening box, the second electric push rod is activated, driving the flattening box down and starting the second motor to rotate the positive and negative lead screws. This causes the two threaded sleeves to move away from each other, making the second roller open the socks to both sides and flatten them initially, preparing them for the subsequent shaping operation. This reduces the problem of poor shaping effect and uneven ironing caused by directly ironing socks with wrinkles.
[0015] 2. This device automatically unloads processed socks through a feeding structure. A first motor drives the worktable to rotate, moving the shaped socks above the conveyor belt. When the placement trough rotates to a specific position with the worktable, the first roller is pushed by an arc-shaped protrusion on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder. With the help of the second movable block, the linkage rod, and the first movable block, the sliding plate slides on the round rod. At this time, the spring is compressed, and the baffle at one end of the sliding plate retracts from the placement trough. The socks, no longer obstructed, fall from the placement trough onto the conveyor belt due to gravity, completing the unloading operation. As the worktable continues to rotate, the first roller disengages from the arc-shaped protrusion, the spring returns to its original shape, the sliding plate resets, and the baffle re-enters the placement trough, preparing for the next sock placement.

[0024] 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.
[0025] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1-6 This embodiment provides a sock packaging shaping and flattening device, including a working base plate 1, a feeding structure, a shaping structure, and a flattening structure. The working base plate 1 has a fixed cylinder 2 fixedly connected to its top end. A first motor 6 is fixedly connected to the top end of the working base plate 1 and inside the fixed cylinder 2. The output end of the first motor 6 is fixedly connected to a worktable 7. The worktable 7 has four sets of placement slots 8 inside. Movable slots 9 are provided on the outer wall of the worktable 7 on both sides of the placement slots 8, and the movable slots 9 communicate with the placement slots 8. A feeding structure is provided between the movable slots 9 and the fixed cylinder 2. Several support rods 19 are fixedly connected to the top end of the working base plate 1 and outside the fixed cylinder 2. A top plate 20 is fixedly connected to the top end of the support rods 19, and the bottom end of the top plate 20 has a shaping structure and a flattening structure.
[0026] The fixed structure includes a first electric push rod 21, a movable plate 22 and an ironing plate 23. The bottom end of the top plate 20 is fixedly connected to the first electric push rod 21, and the output end of the first electric push rod 21 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 22. The bottom end of the movable plate 22 is equipped with the ironing plate 23.
[0027] The leveling structure includes a second electric push rod 24, a leveling box 25, a second motor 26, a positive and negative lead screw 27, a guide rod 28, a threaded sleeve 29, and a second roller 30. The bottom end of the top plate 20 is fixedly connected to the second electric push rod 24, and the output end of the second electric push rod 24 is fixedly connected to the leveling box 25. The second motor 26 is installed on the outer wall of the leveling box 25. The positive and negative lead screw 27 is rotatably connected inside the leveling box 25, and one end of the positive and negative lead screw 27 passes through the leveling box 25 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 26.
[0028] The flattening box 25 is fixedly connected to a guide rod 28, and a threaded sleeve 29 is threadedly connected to the positive and negative lead screws 27. The threaded sleeve 29 is inverted U-shaped, and a second roller 30 is rotatably connected inside the threaded sleeve 29.
[0029] In this implementation, the operator or automatic feeding equipment places the socks in the placement slot 8 of the workbench 7, and then starts the first motor 6. The first motor 6 drives the workbench 7 to rotate. When the placement slot 8 containing the socks rotates to below the flattening box 25, the second electric push rod 24 is activated, and its output end extends downward, driving the flattening box 25 to a suitable position, bringing the flattening box 25 close to the socks. Then, the second motor 26 on the outer wall of the flattening box 25 starts working, driving the positive and negative lead screws 27 to rotate. Since the positive and negative lead screws 27 are threaded with inverted U-shaped threaded sleeves 29, and the threaded sleeves 29 are rotatably connected to the second roller 30, and the guide rod 28 inside the flattening box 25 guides the threaded sleeves 29, as the positive and negative lead screws 27 rotate, the two threaded sleeves 29 will move in opposite directions along the positive and negative lead screws 27, thereby causing the second roller 30 to open the socks to both sides, initially flattening the socks, preparing them for subsequent shaping operations, and reducing the risk of wrinkles caused by direct ironing. To address issues such as poor shaping and uneven ironing, after the flattening operation is completed, the second electric push rod 24 retracts, causing the flattening box 25 to rise and reset. Then, the first motor 6 continues to drive the worktable 7 to rotate, moving the initially flattened socks under the ironing board 23. At this time, the first electric push rod 21 at the bottom of the top plate 20 starts, its output end extending downwards, causing the movable plate 22 and the ironing board 23 installed at the bottom of the movable plate 22 to descend. The ironing board 23 contacts the socks, ironing and shaping them, removing wrinkles, and achieving the desired flat shape and fixed style. After ironing, the first electric push rod 21 retracts, causing the movable plate 22 and the ironing board 23 to rise and reset. By performing the flattening and shaping operations of the socks in sequence, and using the first motor 6 to drive the worktable 7 to send the socks to different processing areas in turn, this assembly line work mode avoids the chaos and interference that may occur when multiple operations are performed simultaneously. The division of labor among the various structures is clear, and they work together, greatly improving the overall work efficiency.
[0030] Example 2: Refer to Figure 1-7 This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, but differs from the previous embodiment in that the feeding structure includes a round rod 10, a sliding plate 11, a spring 12, a baffle 13, a first movable block 14, a linkage rod 15, a second movable block 16, a connecting block 17, and a first roller 18. The round rod 10 is fixedly connected inside the movable groove 9, and the sliding plate 11 is slidably connected to the round rod 10. Two springs 12 are fixedly connected inside the movable groove 9, and the other end of the springs 12 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 11. The baffle 13 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 11 near the placement groove 8, and the first movable block 14 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding plate 11 near the fixed cylinder 2.
[0031] The first movable block 14 is rotatably connected to the linkage rod 15, and the end of the linkage rod 15 away from the first movable block 14 is rotatably connected to the second movable block 16. One end of the second movable block 16 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 17, and one end of the connecting block 17 is fixedly connected to the first roller 18. The first roller 18 is slidably connected to the fixed cylinder 2.
[0032] An arc-shaped protrusion 3 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the fixed cylinder 2. A through groove 4 is provided on the side wall of the fixed cylinder 2 below the arc-shaped protrusion 3. A conveyor belt 5 is provided at the top of the working base plate 1 and at the through groove 4.
[0033] In this implementation, after the socks in the placement slot 8 are flattened and shaped, the first motor 6 drives the worktable 7 to rotate again, rotating the shaped socks above the conveyor belt 5. When the placement slot 8 rotates to a specific position with the worktable 7, the first roller 18 is pushed by the arc-shaped protrusion 3 on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 2. The first roller 18 drives the second movable block 16 to move through the connecting block 17. The second movable block 16 then drives the first movable block 14 to move through the linkage rod 15. The first movable block 14 drives the slide plate 11 to slide on the round rod 10 in the movable slot 9. At this time, the spring 12 is compressed, and the baffle 13 at one end of the slide plate 11 exits from the placement slot 8, and the socks are no longer obstructed. Under the influence of gravity, the socks fall from the placement trough 8 onto the conveyor belt 5. As the worktable 7 continues to rotate, the first roller 18 disengages from the arc-shaped protrusion 3, the spring 12 recovers its deformation, and the slide plate 11 returns to its original position. The baffle 13 re-enters the placement trough 8 to prepare for the next placement of socks. The conveyor belt 5 transports the shaped and flattened socks to the next process. The device then repeats the above operation continuously and efficiently processes multiple pairs of socks. Only when the placement trough 8 rotates to the corresponding position will the first roller 18 be pushed, triggering the unloading action. This ensures that each pair of socks falls accurately onto the conveyor belt 5 after completing the flattening and shaping process, allowing the entire production process to proceed in an orderly manner.
