AI Technical Summary
The existing fixed clamp template of the sock blank conveying mechanism cannot adapt to the needs of different types of socks, resulting in high production costs and troublesome production line replacement.
An adjustable tension sock blank conveying mechanism was designed. The tension of the sock blank is adjusted by setting a sliding extension part 1 on both sides of the sock blank seat for primary adjustment, and an extension part 2 on the extension part 1 for secondary adjustment, so that the tension of the sock blank can be adjusted in two ways to meet the fixing requirements of different types of socks.
This method achieves the fixation of sock blanks under appropriate tension, avoiding production line changes and significantly saving production costs.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sock processing technology, specifically to a tension-adjustable sock blank conveying mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Socks are a daily necessity. In today's technologically advanced world, sock weaving and sewing are done using fully automated knitting machines. Simply thread the required yarn through the machine's traction hook to begin automatic weaving and sewing. The first step in current sock weaving is to knit the sock blank into a pre-fabricated shape. This pre-fabricated shape is then fed to a conveyor system and transported to a toe-sewing machine for stitching, resulting in the finished product. However, the fixed clamps and templates used for conveying the pre-fabricated shape are currently static and unchanging. Different types of socks require different sizes and models of conveyor systems, leading to high production costs and cumbersome production line modifications.
[0003] This case arose in order to resolve the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, the first extension member has a pull ring groove on its semi-cylinder, the upper end of the pull ring groove is closed, and the second extension member is connected inside the pull ring groove. The second extension member is in the shape of a long pull ring and can rotate along the closed part of the pull ring groove.
[0009] Preferably, the sock blank holder has a pair of fixing holes, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sock blank holder. A limit rod is inserted into each of the fixing holes, and a crossbar is connected between the two ends of the limit rod on the same side.
[0010] Preferably, the crossbar includes two sleeves and a connecting rod, with the two sleeves respectively fitted onto one end of the limiting rod.
[0011] Preferably, the two sleeves have fixing screw holes on their opposite sides.
[0012] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art: The tension-adjustable sock blank conveying mechanism of this utility model adjusts the tension of the sock blank at the first stage by setting a sliding extension part 1 on both sides of the conventional sock blank seat. The extension part 2 set on the extension part 1 can be unfolded to adjust the tension of the sock blank at the second stage. The tension adjustment can be adjusted according to different types and sizes of sock blanks, so that the sock blank can be fixed on the sock blank seat with a suitable tension state, without the need to change the production line, which greatly saves costs.

[0018] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the dimensions in the drawings are not actual dimensions, and the drawings are only for functional illustration.
[0019] This utility model embodiment provides a tension-adjustable sock blank conveying mechanism, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, the system includes a movable base 1, which is divided into a front base and a rear base. A sock blank seat 2 is fixedly installed between the front and rear bases. A sliding groove 3 is provided on the opposite side of both the front and rear bases. The upper end of the sliding groove 3 is open, and an extension component 4 is slidably connected within the sliding groove 3. The extension component 4 is in the shape of two semi-cylinders, with their bottom ends connected. A spring 5 is provided at the bottom end of each semi-cylinder, and the bottom end of the spring 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the sliding groove 3. A pressure plate 6 is provided on the upper surface of the movable base 1. When the extension component 4 and the second extension component 8 are not used for adjustment, the pressure plate 6 is fixedly installed on the surface of the base 1, pressing the extension component 4 into the sliding groove 3. It should be noted that the base 1 is installed on a moving conveyor belt, and several bases 1 form a conveyor line.
[0020] When tension adjustment is needed, simply remove the pressure plate 6. The extension part 4 will pop out naturally under the action of the spring 5. At this time, the sock blank will be stretched wider than when the extension part 4 is not used, thus completing the tension adjustment.
[0021] Reference Appendix Figure 2-3 The semi-cylinder of extension part 4 is provided with a pull ring groove 7. The upper end of the pull ring groove 7 is closed. Extension part 2 8 is connected inside the pull ring groove 7. Extension part 2 8 is in the shape of a long pull ring. Extension part 2 8 can rotate along the closed part of the pull ring groove 7. When extension part 2 8 rotates along the pull ring groove 7 to the horizontal position, the sock blank can be further stretched open, and the tension can be adjusted for the second time.
[0022] Reference Appendix Figure 2-3 The sock blank holder 2 has a pair of fixing holes 9, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sock blank holder 2. Each pair of fixing holes 9 has a limiting rod 10 inserted into it, and a crossbar 11 is connected between the two ends of the limiting rod 10 on the same side. After the extension part 2 8 is placed horizontally, the limiting rod 10 and the crossbar 11 keep the extension part 2 8 in a horizontal position.
[0023] Reference Appendix Figure 2-3 The crossbar 11 includes two sleeves 111 and a connecting rod 112. The two sleeves 111 are respectively sleeved on one end of the limiting rod 10. The two sleeves 111 have a fixing screw hole 113 on the opposite side. The fixing screw hole 113 is located on the inner side to avoid the screw from causing wear and damage to the sock blank.
[0024] This utility model discloses a tension-adjustable sock blank conveying mechanism. The tension of the sock blank is adjusted for the first time by setting a sliding extension part 1 on both sides of a conventional sock blank seat. An extension part 2 set on the extension part 1 can be unfolded to adjust the tension of the sock blank for the second time. The tension can be adjusted in two stages according to different types and sizes of sock blanks, so that the sock blank can be fixed on the sock blank seat with a suitable tension state. There is no need to change the production line, which greatly saves costs.
[0025] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
