Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sock machine equipment technology, and more specifically, to a sock conveying device and a sock machine. Background Technology

[0002] In sock knitting machines, the sock body is woven inside a cylinder. After knitting, the sock body is pulled out of the cylinder by a gripping device (e.g., a robotic arm) and moved to the subsequent processing stage. Auxiliary conveying devices are used in sock knitting machines to move the sock body, enabling the machines to be used for the production of long socks.

[0003] The prior art disclosed in CN222594216U is a sock conveying device and a sock machine, including a support base, a movable base, a telescopic driver, a conveying roller, a conveying roller, and a rotary driver. The rotary driver is disposed on the support base and includes a rotary drive shaft. The conveying roller includes a first end and a second end, the first end of which is connected to the rotary drive shaft. The conveying roller includes a third end and a fourth end, the third end of which is rotatably connected to the movable base. A clamping space for clamping the sock is formed between the conveying roller and the conveying roller. An opening is formed between the second end of the conveying roller and the fourth end of the conveying roller, and the opening communicates with the clamping space. The device also includes a limiting member and a telescopic driver. The limiting member can move up and down via the telescopic driver. The limiting member has a first position, at which it can block the sock within the clamping space. In the prior art, conveyor roller one and conveyor roller two are always in a parallel clamping state, with limited clamping space and low sock clamping efficiency. Moreover, the entire sock conveying device requires a slide rail to drive the movement, which involves many movement steps. This not only results in low clamping efficiency but also makes the overall structure more complex and costly. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a sock conveying device and a sock machine. This addresses the problems in the prior art where conveyor roller one and conveyor roller two are always in a parallel clamping state, resulting in limited clamping space, low sock clamping efficiency, and the need for a slide rail to drive the movement, leading to numerous movement steps, low clamping efficiency, a more complex overall structure, and higher costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A sock conveying device includes a support assembly, a roller, a clamping member, and a third driving member. The roller, clamping member, and third driving member are all connected to the support assembly. The third driving member is movably connected to the clamping member. The third driving member includes a fixed plate, a movable plate, and a pen-shaped cylinder. The fixed plate is connected to the side end of the support assembly. The movable plate is movably connected to the clamping member through the support assembly. The movable plate is movably connected to the pen-shaped cylinder. The pen-shaped cylinder is movably connected to the fixed plate. The pen-shaped cylinder controls the rotation of the movable plate, thereby realizing the rotation of the clamping member. At the same time, the clamping member and the roller cooperate to clamp the socks.

[0007] This setup utilizes a fixed plate, a movable plate, and a pen-shaped cylinder in coordination. The pen-shaped cylinder can retract and extend securely, thereby rotating the clamping component. This increases the space between the clamping component and the roller, improving the sock clamping efficiency. The extension and retraction of the pen-shaped cylinder drives the movable plate to rotate, eliminating the linear motion steps of the slide rail in existing technologies, simplifying the structure, reducing costs, and improving clamping efficiency. Furthermore, the pen-shaped cylinder is located on the side of the support assembly, so it does not affect the sock clamping operation.

[0008] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a support base, a first driving member, a second driving member, and an adjusting member. The lower end of the first driving member is connected to the support base, the upper end of the first driving member is connected to the lower end of the second driving member, the side end of the second driving member is connected to the adjusting member, the roller is connected to the second driving member, and the clamping member is movably connected to the adjusting member.

[0009] In this setup, the first driving component drives the roller and clamping component to move upward synchronously, moving them to a suitable position for clamping the socks. The second driving component drives the roller to rotate, facilitating the conveying of the socks. The adjusting component can adjust the position of the clamping component, changing the space between the clamping component and the roller, and can clamp socks of different thicknesses.

[0010] Furthermore, the adjusting component includes a U-shaped seat, and the clamping component includes a second roller, a first connecting shaft, and a second connecting shaft. The second connecting shaft is movably disposed on the U-shaped seat and is connected to the first connecting shaft. The first connecting shaft is connected to the second roller.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjusting component also includes a driver and a moving rod. The driver is connected to the moving rod, the moving rod is connected to the U-shaped seat, and the driver is connected to the side end of the second driving component. This arrangement allows for adjustment of the height of the clamping component, enabling the clamping component and the roller to hold socks of different sizes.

[0012] Furthermore, a first fixed shaft is provided on the fixed plate, and the end of the pen-shaped cylinder away from the movable plate is sleeved on the first fixed shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, a second fixed shaft is provided on the movable plate, and the end of the pen-shaped cylinder away from the first fixed shaft is sleeved on the second fixed shaft.

[0014] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate is provided at the lower end of the U-shaped base, and the moving rod is connected to the U-shaped base through the reinforcing plate. This arrangement improves the connection stability of the U-shaped base.

[0015] Furthermore, the second driving component includes a drive motor, the lower end of which is connected to the first driving component, and the drive motor is connected to the roller.

[0016] Furthermore, the roller includes roller one, and the clamping member includes roller two, wherein the circular cross-sectional diameter of roller two is smaller than that of roller one.

[0017] This design increases the contact area between the clamp and the sock, making the sock more secure and less likely to slip or fall off.

[0018] Furthermore, the first driving component includes a main cylinder, the lower end of which is connected to a support base, and the upper end of which is connected to a drive motor.

[0019] A sock-making machine includes the sock conveying device described above.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the sock conveying device and sock machine of this utility model have the following advantages:

[0021] 1) This utility model uses a fixed plate, a movable plate, and a pen-shaped cylinder to work together, so that the pen-shaped cylinder can extend and retract stably, thereby driving the clamping component to rotate, increasing the space between the clamping component and the roller, and improving the clamping efficiency of socks. The extension and retraction of the pen-shaped cylinder drives the movable plate to rotate, eliminating the linear motion steps of the slide rail in the prior art, simplifying the structure, reducing costs, and improving clamping efficiency. Moreover, the pen-shaped cylinder is located on the side of the support component, so it does not affect the clamping operation of socks.

[0022] 2) The present invention can drive the roller and the clamping member to move upward synchronously through the first driving member, so that they can move to a suitable position to facilitate the clamping of socks. The second driving member drives the roller to rotate, which facilitates the conveying of socks. The adjusting member can adjust the position of the clamping member, change the space between the clamping member and the roller, and can clamp socks of different thicknesses.

The movable plate 72 is movably connected to the clamping member 6 through the support assembly. The movable plate 72 is movably connected to the pen-shaped cylinder 73. The pen-shaped cylinder 73 is movably connected to the fixed plate 71. The pen-shaped cylinder 73 controls the rotation of the movable plate 72, thereby realizing the rotation of the clamping member 6. At the same time, the clamping member 6 and the roller 4 cooperate to clamp the sock. This utility model utilizes a fixed plate, a movable plate, and a pen-shaped cylinder in cooperation to enable the pen-shaped cylinder to extend and retract stably, thereby driving the clamping component to rotate. This increases the space between the clamping component and the roller, improving the sock clamping efficiency. The extension and retraction of the pen-shaped cylinder drives the movable plate to rotate, eliminating the linear motion step of the slide rail in the prior art, simplifying the structure, reducing costs, and improving clamping efficiency. Moreover, the pen-shaped cylinder is located on the side of the support component, so it does not affect the sock clamping operation.

The lower end of the first driving member 2 is connected to the support base 1, the upper end of the first driving member 2 is connected to the lower end of the second driving member 3, the side end of the second driving member is connected to the adjusting member 5, the roller 4 is connected to the second driving member 3, and the clamping member 6 is movably connected to the adjusting member 5. In this configuration, the first driving member drives the roller and the clamping member to move upward synchronously, moving them to a suitable position for clamping the socks. The second driving member drives the roller to rotate, facilitating the conveying of the socks. The adjusting member can adjust the position of the clamping member, changing the space between the clamping member and the roller, and can clamp socks of different thicknesses.

[0032] Specifically, the adjusting member 5 includes a U-shaped seat 53, and the clamping member 6 includes a second roller 61, a first connecting shaft 62, and a second connecting shaft 63. The second connecting shaft 63 is movably disposed on the U-shaped seat 53 and is connected to the first connecting shaft 62. The first connecting shaft 62 is connected to the second roller 61.

The driver 51 is connected to the moving rod 52, the moving rod 52 is connected to the U-shaped seat 53, and the driver 51 is connected to the side end of the second driving member 3. This arrangement allows for adjustment of the height of the clamping member, enabling the clamping member and the roller to clamp socks of different sizes.

[0036] Preferably, multiple drivers 51 and moving rods 52 are provided. More preferably, two drivers 51 and moving rods 52 are provided. This arrangement can improve the connection stability of the U-shaped seat and improve the clamping efficiency of the clamping components.

[0043] In the prior art (CN222594216U), the clamping element consists of two thin clamping elements with a small contact area with the sock, resulting in insufficient gripping and easy slippage and detachment. The present invention describes a roller 4 comprising a first roller 41, and a clamping element 6 comprising a second roller 61, wherein the diameter of the circular cross-section of the second roller is smaller than that of the first roller. This design increases the contact area between the clamping element and the sock, making the gripping more secure, the conveying of the sock smoother, and facilitating the transfer of long socks.

[0044] Specifically, the outer surface of the roller is a sawtooth structure.

[0045] This utility model also relates to a sock machine, including the sock conveying device described above.

[0046] The specific steps of using the sock conveying device of this utility model are as follows: when the socks are transferred to the top of the sock conveying device, the pen-shaped cylinder controls the movable plate, which rotates the clamping component to the vertical direction. The main cylinder pushes the roller and the clamping component to move upward and stop at a suitable position so that the clamping component can clamp the socks. The pen-shaped cylinder controls the clamping component to rotate downward by 90° to clamp the socks. The roller rotates through the drive motor to transport the socks to the target position.

[0047] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
