Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sock production technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding mechanism for sock production. Background Technology

[0002] Socks are a common clothing accessory, and there are many types, including sports socks specifically designed for sports. Sports socks are designed for sports activities. To give them better anti-slip properties, silicone dots are applied to the bottom of the sock using specialized adhesive equipment. These silicone dots effectively increase the friction between the sock and the shoe, thus providing better grip during exercise and preventing discomfort or injury caused by slipping.

[0003] Existing gluing equipment mainly consists of a turntable mounted on a frame, a gluing mechanism, and a drying mechanism. Multiple sock plates are evenly installed on the turntable. First, workers manually put socks on the sock plates; then, the gluing mechanism applies glue to the socks on the sock plates; subsequently, the socks are dried; finally, workers manually remove the socks.

[0004] To further improve the gluing efficiency of sports socks during production, realize the automatic removal of sports socks, reduce manual intervention, improve overall production efficiency, and reduce labor intensity, it is particularly important to design an automatic feeding mechanism for sock production. Summary of the Invention

[0007] A guide rail is vertically fixed on the bracket, and a slider is slidably connected to the guide rail. The lifting platform and the slider are fixedly connected.

[0008] A second slider is fixed on the lifting platform, and a second guide rail is slidably connected to the second slider. The second guide rail is perpendicular to the first guide rail, and the moving crossbar is fixedly connected to the first guide rail.

[0009] The piston rod end of the second cylinder is fixedly connected to the connecting block and the moving crossbar.

[0010] The second mounting block has a limiting block, and the first mounting block has a stopper that cooperates with the limiting block.

[0011] A collection box is also fixed on the support, and the collection box has an inclined auxiliary plate.

[0012] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: In this invention, cylinder one drives a moving crossbar to move horizontally, positioning the finger cylinder directly above the corresponding sock board; cylinder two drives a lifting platform to move downward, allowing the gripper to insert into the notch of the sock board; the finger cylinder drives the gripper to clamp the sock opening on the sock board, and then cylinder one drives the moving crossbar to reset, removing the sock from the sock board, thus achieving automatic sock removal.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0016] like Figure 1-4As shown, the automatic feeding mechanism for sock production includes a support 1. In practice, the support 1 is arranged on the side of the turntable 8 of the existing glue coating equipment. Several horizontal arms 20 are fixed on the turntable 8, and the sock plate 9 is fixed on the horizontal arms 20. The rotation of the turntable 8 also adopts the existing method. The glue coating and drying of the socks adopts the existing technology. The sock plate 9 has a notch 9a that cooperates with the gripper 19 of the finger cylinder 7. A cylinder 4 is vertically fixed on the support 1. The piston rod end of the cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 3. A cylinder 2 is horizontally fixed on the lifting platform 3. The piston rod end of the cylinder 2 is connected to the moving crossbar 5. Specifically, the piston rod end of the cylinder 2 is connected to the moving crossbar 5. The connecting block 11 and the moving crossbar 5 are fixedly connected; the moving crossbar 5 is fixedly equipped with a mounting block 6, which is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating shaft 18, and the other end of the rotating shaft 18 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 12. A return torsion spring 17 is also installed between the rotating shaft 18 and the mounting block 6. The mounting block 12 is fixedly equipped with a finger cylinder 7, and the finger of the finger cylinder 7 is fixed with a gripper 19 that can grip the sock at the sock plate 9. In this embodiment, one of the grippers 19 is also equipped with a guide wheel. Specifically, the mounting block 12 is equipped with a limiting block 12a, and the mounting block 6 is equipped with a stopper 6a that cooperates with the limiting block 12a. With this structure, the finger cylinder 7 can have a swinging space for movement.

[0017] A guide rail 15 is vertically fixed on the bracket 1, and a slider 16 is slidably connected on the guide rail 15. The lifting platform 3 and the slider 16 are fixedly connected. With this structure, the lifting platform 3 can be raised and lowered more smoothly.
