Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sock turning technology in sock processing and production, specifically a sock turning device for sock processing and production. Background Technology

[0002] Turning socks inside out is a crucial step in factory production, bridging the knitting and finishing processes. It typically employs a combination of automated equipment and manual assistance. After the knitting machine completes the sock body, the socks are usually output with the right side facing inwards and are conveyed to the turning station. Automated turning machines use negative pressure nozzles or mechanical grippers to hold the sock cuff in place, and internal pushers push the sock from the toe towards the cuff, using airflow or mechanical force to quickly turn the sock inside out. During this process, the equipment automatically checks whether the turning is complete, preventing wrinkles or incomplete turning. For some special styles (such as jacquard or thick socks), manual adjustment is required to ensure the pattern and seams are smooth. After turning, the socks immediately proceed to the next stage, such as quality inspection, shaping, and matching packaging. This process requires a balance between efficiency and quality, increasing production capacity through automation while controlling details through manual sampling to ensure each sock is neatly shaped after turning, laying the foundation for subsequent processing and final product quality.

[0003] In most factory production, socks are turned inside out using a pneumatic suction method. However, while this method is convenient, it can also cause problems due to the different thicknesses of various types of socks. This can lead to excessive friction between the sock and the inner wall of the guide tube, causing the sock to clog the guide tube. This requires manual intervention, which is inconvenient and reduces the efficiency of turning the socks inside out. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a sock turning device for sock processing and production, which can turn socks while reducing the probability of sock blockage. Even if blockage occurs, no manual handling is required. The device uses air pressure to blow the socks, which greatly improves the turning efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a sock-turning device for sock processing and production is provided, comprising a base, a support platform fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, a support column fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support platform, a hydraulic cylinder fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column, a rubber pressure head fixedly connected to the end of the hydraulic rod of the hydraulic cylinder, a support frame fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, a sock sleeve fixedly connected to the middle of the support frame, the sock sleeve being coaxial with the center of the hydraulic cylinder, an electric push rod fixedly connected to the upper right side of the support frame, a pressing column fixedly connected to the end of the electric push rod, and an inlet hole provided on the outer right side of the sock sleeve, directly opposite the pressing column.

[0016] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0017] Reference Figures 1 to 4This utility model discloses a sock turning device for sock processing and production, comprising a base 1, a support platform 5 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, a support column 6 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support platform 5, a hydraulic cylinder 7 fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column 6, a rubber pressure head 15 fixedly connected to the end of the hydraulic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 7, a support frame 3 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, a sock sleeve 9 fixedly connected to the middle of the support frame 3, the sock sleeve 9 being coaxial with the center of the hydraulic cylinder 7, an electric push rod 4 fixedly connected to the upper right surface of the support frame 3, a pressure column 16 fixedly connected to the end of the electric push rod 4, an inlet hole 17 being provided on the outer right side of the sock sleeve 9 facing the pressure column 16, the end of the rubber pressure head 15 in contact with the sock being made of rubber to prevent damage to the sock, and the inner wall of the sock sleeve 9 being smoothed to reduce friction between the sock and the inner wall and reduce the occurrence of blockage.

[0018] The inlet hole 17 penetrates the right wall of the sock tube 9 and the size of the hole is larger than that of the pressure post 16. The lower surface of the support platform 5 is fixedly connected to the fixing post 11. The lower end of the fixing post 11 is fixedly connected to the annular tube 13. The annular tube 13 has a hollow structure. The lower surface of the annular tube 13 is fixedly connected to the air nozzle 14. The front end of the pressure post 16 is made of a soft arc-shaped material, which can better fit the inner wall without damaging the sock and facilitates the separation of the sock from the rubber pressure head 15.

[0019] An air compressor 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support platform 5 and to the lower left of the hydraulic cylinder 7. An air inlet pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the air compressor 8 and near the upper right corner. The lower end of the air inlet pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the upper left surface of the annular pipe 13. The air inlet pipe 12 and the annular pipe 13 are connected internally. A collection frame 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1 and directly below the sock sleeve 9.

[0020] An infrared sensor 10 is fixedly connected to the lower right surface of the support frame 3 near the lower opening of the sock tube 9. There are two rubber pressure heads 15, and the diameter of the two heads is smaller than the internal diameter of the sock tube 9.

[0021] The entire device is equipped with a control system. When the infrared sensor 10 detects that the sock is still inside the sock tube 9 and has not come out, it sends an electrical signal to the control system. The control system then controls the air compressor 8 to work, pressurizing gas into the annular tube 13, and then blowing it out through the air nozzle 14 to spray out the blocked sock with high-pressure gas.

[0022] Working principle: When in use, manually put the sock that needs to be turned inside out onto the sock tube 9, making sure the toe of the sock is facing upwards. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 7 moves downwards with the rubber pressure head 15, and the movement turns the sock inside out. When it moves to the lower end of the sock tube 9, the electric push rod 4 moves to the left with the pressure post 16, passing through the inlet hole 17 and pressing the sock against the inner wall. The hydraulic cylinder 7 retracts the hydraulic rod and pulls it out of the sock. Then the electric push rod 4 retracts, and the sock falls into the collection box 2. If a blockage occurs, the control system controls the air compressor 8 to blow air out of the sock through the air nozzle 14.

[0023] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
