Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glove production, and in particular to a glove holding device, a glove feeding mechanism, and a glove turning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Gloves are a widely used type of work protection product. They are generally produced by knitting gloves using glove knitting machines. After the gloves are produced by the glove knitting machine, they undergo subsequent processes, such as identifying defective gloves using automatic visual recognition equipment, bundling gloves using automatic glove bundling and packaging equipment, and turning gloves over using automatic glove turning equipment.

[0003] In the various processes following glove production, it is often necessary to load the gloves. For example, when turning gloves over, the existing technology generally involves placing a stack of gloves on a movable platform (such as a conveyor belt), conveying the stack of gloves to the designated position, and then using a suction cup or other equipment to pick up the top glove, load it, and move it to the designated position for turning the glove over.

[0004] Chinese patent document CN219361462U discloses a glove feeding mechanism that uses a glove holding box to hold stacks of gloves, ensuring that the stacks of gloves do not collapse. However, this mechanism has the following problems in use:

[0005] When the glove is lifted upwards by the glove feeding mechanism, negative pressure is easily generated during the upward movement of the glove. This causes the lower gloves to be sucked up to a certain extent under the negative pressure, affecting the posture of the lower gloves. In severe cases, the gloves may even fall out of the glove container, affecting the feeding of subsequent gloves. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the problems of existing technologies, this utility model provides a glove holding device, a glove feeding mechanism, and a glove turning machine to prevent negative pressure from sucking up the lower layer of gloves and avoid affecting subsequent glove feeding.

[0033] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] This utility model embodiment provides a glove-containing device, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the system includes a receiving platform 1, the top surface of which is provided with at least one glove stacking position, and each glove stacking position is provided with a glove receiving box 2, wherein:

[0035] Each glove container 2 includes two side baffles 3 and one end baffle 4. The two side baffles 3 and one end baffle 4 are vertically arranged on the top surface of the receiving platform 1. The end baffle 4 is connected to the two side baffles 3 to form a box-shaped structure of the glove container 2 with an opening to one side.

[0036] Several ventilation holes 5 are provided on one or two of the side baffles 3.

[0037] This invention features a ventilation hole 5 on the side baffle 3. When the gripping device 6 grips the uppermost glove, the negative pressure generated during the upward movement of the glove causes air to enter the glove receiving box 2 through the ventilation hole 5, thus counteracting the negative pressure and preventing the negative pressure from sucking up the lower gloves, thereby avoiding affecting the subsequent glove loading.

[0038] In one example, multiple ventilation holes 5 are arranged vertically on the side baffle 3, enabling negative pressure compensation when the glove is gripped at different heights. The number of vertical rows can be one, two, three, etc.

[0039] In actual use, it was found that most gloves have a tapered edge design at the base, which makes the thickness of the glove base slightly greater than the thickness of the palm. When a stack of gloves is placed in the glove holding box 2, the thicker base of the gloves will cause the entire stack to tilt, which will not only affect the gripping of the gripping device 6, but may also cause the stack of gloves to collapse in severe cases.

[0040] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a leveling block 7 at the bottom of the glove holding box 2. The top surface of the leveling block 7 has a leveling slope 8, which is gradually inclined downward from the palm part to the root of the glove stack contained in the glove holding box 2.

[0041] This invention provides a leveling block 7 at the bottom of the glove holding box 2. When the gloves are stacked in the glove holding box 2, the root of the first glove is closer to the inside (i.e., near the end baffle 4). Since the root of the gloves is thicker, the leveling block 7 is used to level the gloves by the leveling slope 8 on the top surface. This keeps the gloves in a roughly horizontal position, making it easier for the gripping device 6 to grip them. On the other hand, it prevents the stack of gloves from tilting too much and collapsing.

[0042] As an improvement of this utility model embodiment, each glove holding box 2 is provided with a lifting plate 9 at its bottom, and a leveling block 7 is provided at the top of the lifting plate 9. The lifting plate 9 is equipped with a lifting drive device 10 to control the vertical movement of the lifting plate 9. Each time a glove is grabbed from the glove holding box 2, the lifting plate 9 moves upward by a set height to ensure that the glove at the top of the glove stack is always at approximately the same height, facilitating the grabbing of gloves.

[0043] The aforementioned lifting drive device 10 is located below the receiving platform 1. The top of the lifting drive device 10 is connected to a contact part 11 that contacts the lifting plate 9. The contact part 11 is located below the receiving platform 1. The receiving platform 1 is provided with a clearance window 12 for the contact part 11 to pass through, which facilitates lifting.

[0044] The end baffle 4 has a vertical guide groove 13, and the lifting plate 9 has a guide part extending inside the guide groove, which plays a guiding role during the lifting and lowering process of the lifting plate 9. In addition, the guide groove 13 also has a certain negative pressure compensation function.

[0045] The number of glove receiving boxes 2 can be multiple. The receiving platform 1 or the lifting drive device 10 is connected to a translation drive device 14 that drives the receiving platform 1 or the lifting drive device 10 to move relative to each other. Driven by the translation drive device 14, the glove receiving boxes 2 are aligned with the lifting drive device 10 for glove grabbing and loading operations. Misaligned glove receiving boxes 2 can be left idle, or a stack of gloves can be placed in the glove receiving boxes 2 to ensure the continuous and uninterrupted operation of the equipment.

[0046] The lifting drive device 10 can lift and lower the gloves of one glove holding box 2 at a time, or lift and lower the gloves of more than one glove holding box 2 at a time. At this time, there is one or more glove gripping devices 6, which can grip multiple gloves at the same time.

[0047] Multiple mounting holes 15 are provided on the lifting plate 9, and a positioning pin 16 is provided at the bottom of the leveling block 7. The appropriate mounting hole 15 can be selected according to the glove model, and the positioning pin 16 can be installed in the appropriate mounting hole 15 to accommodate different sizes of gloves.

[0048] One of the leveling block 7 and the lifting plate 9 is made of ferromagnetic material, and the other is equipped with a magnet 17. After the positioning pin 16 and the mounting hole 15 are positioned, the magnet 17 ensures the connection between the leveling block 16 and the lifting plate 15.

[0049] A first sensor 18 is installed above the glove container 2. This first sensor 18 can be a photoelectric sensor, and its detection direction can be vertically downwards. It is used to detect whether there are gloves inside the glove container 2. When there are no gloves inside the glove container 2, the light signal from the photoelectric sensor shines on the bottom of the glove container 2, and the reflected light signal is received by the first sensor 18, thus determining that there are no gloves inside the glove container 2. To enhance the reflective effect, reflective stickers 19 can also be attached to the bottom of the glove container 2. When there are gloves inside the glove container 2, the light signal from the photoelectric sensor shines on the gloves. Because the light signal undergoes diffuse reflection on the gloves, the reflected signal intensity is low and insufficient to trigger the photoelectric sensor, thus determining that there are gloves inside the glove container 2. The sensitivity of the photoelectric sensor is adjustable, and can be adjusted to a level where the reflected light from the gloves does not trigger the photoelectric sensor.

[0050] A second sensor 20 is provided on the side of the glove holder 2. This second sensor 20 can be a photoelectric sensor, preferably located outside the end baffle 4 and at the position of the guide groove 13, ensuring that the light signal from the second sensor 20 passes through the guide groove 13 to reach the top of the glove stack. The detection direction of the second sensor 20 can be horizontal or inclined, used to detect the height of the uppermost glove. When the uppermost glove reaches the set height, the light signal from the second sensor 20 shines onto the uppermost glove from the side or at an angle. The light signal is reflected by the glove and received by the second sensor 20, thus determining that the uppermost glove has reached the set height. At this time, the sensitivity of the second sensor 20 should be adjusted to a level where the reflected light from the glove can trigger the photoelectric sensor. When the uppermost glove has not reached the set height, the light signal from the second sensor 20 is not reflected and cannot trigger the second sensor 20, thus determining that the uppermost glove has not reached the set height. At this time, the lifting drive device 10 is controlled, causing the lifting plate 9 to lift the entire glove stack until the second sensor 20 is triggered.

[0051] To better prevent the gloves from collapsing, a detachable box opening baffle 21 is provided on the opposite side of the end baffle 4 at the opening of the glove receiving box 2. The box opening baffle 21 is detachably mounted on the leveling block 7. When placing a stack of gloves into the glove receiving box 2, the box opening baffle 21 is removed. After placing the stack of gloves, the box opening baffle 21 is inserted into the leveling block.

[0052] Additionally, the glove opening baffle 21 has a visual guidance component 22 for guiding the glove placement into the glove receiving box 2. For example, the glove opening baffle 21 has a palm-shaped structure and a visual guidance component 22 with a thumb-like structure for visual guidance, so that the thumb direction is consistent with the direction of the thumb structure on the glove opening baffle 2 when the glove is placed.

[0053] The aforementioned platform drive device 14 and lifting drive device 10 can be a motor (and its equipped gear, rack and pinion transmission mechanism), or a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electric cylinder, etc., and this utility model does not limit them.

[0054] In one example, the side baffle 3 is bent inward on the side near the end baffle 4, forming a glove receiving box 2 with a smaller spacing on the side near the end baffle and a larger spacing on the open side to accommodate the shape of the glove.

[0055] To accommodate gloves of different sizes, the distance between the two side panels 3 is adjustable. For example, the distance between the two side panels 3 can be adjusted by setting a chute on the receiving platform 1.

[0056] Alternatively, the side baffle 3 may be equipped with several inner insert plates 23, each with a certain thickness. The number of inserted inner insert plates 23 can be used to change the internal space of the glove holder 2, accommodating gloves of different sizes. The inner insert plates 23 may also have corresponding ventilation holes at the same positions as the ventilation holes 5 on the side baffle 3.

[0057] The top of the end baffle 4 has an outwardly bent guide surface 24. Since the glove is made of soft fabric, it is easy for it to droop during the movement after being grasped. The bent guide surface 24 guides the drooping part so that the glove can smoothly enter the next station.

[0058] In this invention, the end baffle 4 and the glove holding box 2 are at a set distance from the glove holding position. Because the gloves are made of soft fabric, when a stack of gloves is placed in the glove holding box 2, the heels of the gloves cannot be guaranteed to be perfectly aligned. When the gloves are held very close to their heels, if the topmost glove is not aligned and its heel is some distance from the end baffle 4, the gripping device 6 may fail to grip the topmost glove and instead grip the next layer, or the gripping device may grip both layers of gloves at the junction of the top and bottom layers.

[0059] Therefore, the gripping position of this utility model has a set distance between it and the end baffle. The gripping position is a certain distance inward from the base of the glove. Even when the bases of the gloves stacked cannot be strictly aligned, the top glove can still be gripped smoothly.

[0060] This utility model embodiment also provides a glove feeding mechanism and a glove turning machine, both of which include the aforementioned glove holding device, and the resulting technical effects are as described above.

[0061] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
