[0023] 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.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Reference Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a multifunctional automatic sock sorting device, including a conveyor 1. A bracket 2 is bolted to the upper part of the conveyor 1 near the feeding end. A color sensor 13 is disposed directly below the bracket 2 and is electrically connected to an external control unit. A support plate 4 is bolted to the side of the conveyor 1 behind the bracket 2. An electric telescopic rod 5 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the support plate 4 and is electrically connected to an external control unit. A push plate 6 is fixedly connected to the piston rod end of the telescopic rod. A notch 7 is provided on the other side of the conveyor 1 corresponding to the electric telescopic rod 5.

[0026] The color sensor 13 can continuously detect the color of passing socks. The external control unit controls the electric telescopic rod 5 to sort out the socks that meet the conditions according to the preset color sorting rules.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Reference Figures 1-5 This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, but differs from the previous embodiment in that a through hole is provided at the center of the upper end of the bracket 2, and a threaded sleeve 12 is provided above the through hole. The bottom of the threaded sleeve 12 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the bracket 2. A screw 11 is internally threaded to the threaded sleeve 12, and the end of the screw 11 extends through the through hole at the upper end of the bracket 2 to the lower end of the bracket 2, and is fixedly connected to the top of the color sensor 13.

[0029] By rotating the threaded sleeve 12, due to the threaded connection between the threaded sleeve 12 and the screw 11, the screw 11 will move vertically up and down, thereby driving the color sensor 13 to move up and down, so as to adjust the height of the color sensor 13 according to the sock size.

[0030] Furthermore, a proximity switch 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the notch 7, and the proximity switch 8 is electrically connected to an external control unit; a sensing block 10 is embedded on one side of the push plate 6 at a position adapted to the proximity switch 8.

[0031] During the process of the pusher plate 6 pushing the socks, the sensing block 10 embedded in the matching position of the proximity switch 8 on one side of the pusher plate 6 will move with the pusher plate 6. When the sensing block 10 approaches the proximity switch 8, the proximity switch 8 will detect the approach of the sensing block 10. Since the proximity switch 8 is electrically connected to the external control unit, it will send a signal to the external control unit. After receiving the signal, the external control unit will count, thereby realizing the statistics of the number of socks sorted.

[0032] Furthermore, a downwardly inclined plate 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the notch 7; and multiple support legs 3 for supporting the conveyor 1 are fixedly installed at the lower end of the conveyor 1 by bolts.

[0033] Working Principle: During operation, conveyor 1 is first started, transporting socks. When the socks move to the area directly below support 2, color sensor 13 activates. Electrically connected to an external control unit, color sensor 13 senses the color of the passing socks and transmits this information to the external control unit. The external control unit then judges the color according to preset color sorting standards. If the current sock's color meets the sorting criteria, the external control unit sends a command to the electric telescopic rod 5. Electrically connected to the external control unit, electric telescopic rod 5 activates upon receiving the command, extending its piston rod and driving push plate 6 upwards from conveyor 1 to meet the electric telescopic rod. The notch 7 on the other side of the lever 5 moves, and the push plate 6 pushes the socks to be sorted out from the notch 7. The socks slide down the inclined plate 9 on the outside of the notch 7 and a collection box is placed below the inclined plate 9 to collect the sorted socks. During the process of the push plate 6 pushing the socks, the sensing block 10 approaches the proximity switch 8. The proximity switch 8 sends a signal to the external control unit to realize the counting of the sorted socks. When facing socks of different sizes, it may be necessary to adjust the height of the color sensor 13 for better color sensing. By rotating the threaded sleeve 12, the screw 11 is driven to move vertically up and down, which in turn drives the color sensor 13 to move up and down, realizing the adjustment of the height of the color sensor 13 according to the sock size.
