A sock-retrieving mechanism for shaping socks

Abstract

This utility model discloses a sock-retrieving mechanism for shaping socks, belonging to the field of sock processing technology. It includes: a moving track; a moving frame slidably disposed within the moving track; and a conformal sock plate movably mounted on the moving frame to support the socks. This utility model combines the conformal sock plate with the moving frame, uses a torsion spring for limiting its position, and then coordinates with a folding mechanism to deflect and fold the conformal sock plate. The conformal sock plate is then deflected into a fixed frame. Through the movement of the moving frame, the clamping plates in the sock-clamping assembly are positioned on both sides of the conformal sock plate, and then clamped and fixed. The sock-removing assembly then removes the socks from the conformal sock plate. During this process, the conformal sock plate is limited by a push rod on the folding structure to prevent the conformal sock plate from lowering, which would cause the clamping plates to not be accurately positioned on both sides of the sock. The various structures of this device cooperate with each other to achieve precise removal of the socks from the conformal sock plate.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sock processing technology, specifically a sock-taking mechanism for sock shaping. Background Technology

[0002] When socks are being shaped, they need to be placed on a sock board and then enter the shaping machine. Afterward, the socks are removed from the sock board, and the shaped socks need to be removed from the sock board. The traditional process uses manual sock removal, but the efficiency of sock removal is low. With the increase in production, mechanical equipment is needed to remove socks and improve the efficiency of sock removal.

[0003] Sock plates are usually processed into thin sheets to make it easy for socks to be put on, which gives the sock plate a certain degree of elasticity. The elasticity of the sock plate can not only prevent the sock plate from scratching the sock during the sock-putting stage and provide a certain cushioning function, but also make the sock plate prone to shaking during the movement of the sock plate. This affects the efficiency of sock retrieval during the sock-retrieving stage, causing the sock to be out of position, which in turn makes it impossible for the clamp to hold and fix the sock stably. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sock-retrieving mechanism for shaping socks. A folding mechanism folds the sock-shaped plate from its lower end, limiting the plate's position by a limiting groove on a push rod, preventing the end of the plate away from the moving frame from wobbling. The end of the plate then deflects and moves into a fixed frame, while clamps within the movable frame precisely move to both sides of the sock-shaped plate. With the cooperation of the sock-clamping assembly, the socks on the plate are clamped. Finally, with the cooperation of the sock-removing assembly, the socks are removed from the plate. This addresses the problems mentioned in the background art by preventing the sock-retrieving mechanism from failing to hold the plate stably due to wobbling.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sock-retrieving mechanism for shaping socks, comprising: Moving track; A movable frame is slidably arranged inside the movable track, and a contoured sock board for supporting the socks is movably installed on the movable frame. A folding mechanism for folding the contoured sock board is provided on the movable track. A fixed frame is fixed to the outside of the moving track, and a movable frame is movably arranged in the inner cavity of the fixed frame. A sock clamping assembly for clamping socks on a conformal sock board is arranged in the inner cavity of the movable frame. A sock removal assembly is arranged on the fixed frame to move the movable frame so that the socks can be removed from the conformal sock board.

[0006] Preferably, the lower end of the conformal sock plate is fixed with a fixed shaft, the fixed shaft is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the movable frame through a bearing, a torsion spring is fixed to the outside of the fixed shaft, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixed inside the movable frame.

[0008] Preferably, the stocking assembly includes two sets of threaded rods rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the movable frame via bearings. Multiple sets of clamping plates are sleeved on the outer side of the threaded rods. The clamping plates are threadedly connected to the threaded rods via threaded sleeves. A drive motor is fixed to one side of the movable frame. The output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the end of one set of threaded rods. The ends of the two sets of threaded rods are fixed with intermeshing linkage gears. The top of the clamping plates is attached to the top of the inner cavity of the movable frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention combines a contoured sock plate with a movable frame, using a torsion spring for positioning and a folding mechanism to tilt and fold the contoured sock plate. The plate is then tilted into a fixed frame, and the movement of the movable frame positions the clamping plates in the sock clamping assembly on both sides of the contoured sock plate for clamping and fixing. The sock removal assembly then removes the sock from the contoured sock plate. During this process, the contoured sock plate is limited by a push rod on the folding structure to prevent it from lowering and causing the clamping plates to not be precisely positioned on both sides of the sock. The various structures of this device work together to achieve precise removal of the sock from the contoured sock plate.

[0014] This invention uses the combination of an arc-shaped groove and a fixed column to conveniently limit the deflection angle of the swing frame, while ensuring the stability of the swing frame after deflection, so as to prevent the push rod from shaking and affecting the limiting of the contour sock plate.

[0017] 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.

[0018] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-7 The sock-retrieving mechanism shown includes: Moving track 1; A movable frame 2 is slidably installed inside the movable track 1. A contoured sock board 3 for supporting the socks is movably installed on the movable frame 2. A folding mechanism 4 for folding the contoured sock board 3 is provided on the movable track 1. A fixed frame 5 is fixed on the outer side of the moving track 1. A movable frame 6 is movably arranged in the inner cavity of the fixed frame 5. A sock clamping component 7 for clamping socks on the contoured sock plate 3 is arranged in the inner cavity of the movable frame 6. A sock removal component 8 is arranged on the fixed frame 5 to move the movable frame 6 so that the socks can be removed from the contoured sock plate 3. This device is equipped with a separate control system, which works in conjunction with sensors for precise control of the device; By combining and installing the contoured sock plate 3 with the movable frame 2, and using the torsion spring 11 for limiting, and then cooperating with the folding mechanism 4, the contoured sock plate 3 is deflected and folded. Then, the contoured sock plate 3 is deflected into the fixed frame 5. By moving the movable frame 6, the clamping plates 72 in the sock clamping assembly 7 are positioned on both sides of the contoured sock plate 3, and then clamped and fixed. With the help of the sock removal assembly 8, the sock is removed from the contoured sock plate 3. During this process, the contoured sock plate 3 is limited by the push rod 48 on the folding structure to prevent the contoured sock plate 3 from lowering, which would cause the clamping plates 72 to not be accurately positioned on both sides of the sock. The various structures of this device cooperate with each other to achieve accurate removal of the sock from the contoured sock plate 3.

[0019] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown: The lower end of the contoured sock plate 3 is fixed with a fixed shaft 10. The fixed shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the movable frame 2 through a bearing. A torsion spring 11 is fixed to the outside of the fixed shaft 10. The other end of the torsion spring 11 is fixed inside the movable frame 2. Through the cooperation of the fixed shaft 10, the contoured sock plate 3 is movably connected to the movable frame 2. Then, with the cooperation of the torsion spring 11, the contoured sock plate 3 is limited to a vertical position. When the contoured sock plate 3 deflects, it can automatically return to its original position with the cooperation of the torsion spring 11.

[0020] Furthermore, such as Figure 2-3 As shown: The folding mechanism 4 includes a fixed base 41 fixed on the moving track 1. A rotating shaft 42 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 41 via bearings. A yaw motor 43 is fixed on the moving track 1. A drive sprocket 44 is fixed to the output shaft of the yaw motor 43. A driven sprocket 45 is fixed at the center of the rotating shaft 42. The drive sprocket 44 and the driven sprocket 45 are connected by a chain drive. Swing frames 46 are fixed at both ends of the rotating shaft 42. A first guide groove 47 is provided on the swing frame 46. A push rod 48 is slidably arranged in the first guide groove 47. The push rod 48 is located on one side of the contoured sock plate 3. A flat push assembly 9 is also provided on the swing frame 46 to move the push rod 48 along the first guide groove 47. The yaw motor 43 drives the drive sprocket 44 to rotate, and then drives the driven sprocket 45 and the rotating shaft 42 to rotate via the chain, yawing the swing frame 46 and driving the push rod 48 to push the contoured sock plate 3, so that the contoured sock plate 3 can be adjusted in orientation.

[0021] Preferred, such as Figure 5-7 As shown: The sock clamping assembly 7 includes two sets of threaded rods 71 ​​rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the movable frame 6 via bearings. Multiple sets of clamping plates 72 are sleeved on the outer side of the threaded rods 71. The clamping plates 72 are threadedly connected to the threaded rods 71 ​​via threaded sleeves 73. A drive motor 74 is fixed on one side of the movable frame 6. The output shaft of the drive motor 74 is fixedly connected to the end of one set of threaded rods 71. The ends of the two sets of threaded rods 71 ​​are fixed with meshing linkage gears 75. The top of the clamping plates 72 is attached to the top of the inner cavity of the movable frame 6. The drive motor 74 drives one set of threaded rods 71 ​​to rotate. Then, with the cooperation of the linkage gears 75, the two sets of threaded rods 71 ​​rotate synchronously. Subsequently, the clamping plates 72 are moved by the threaded sleeves 73, so that the clamping plates 72 located on both sides of the contoured sock plate 3 move towards each other, clamping the socks on the contoured sock plate 3.

[0022] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 5 As shown: The sock removal assembly 8 includes a first cylinder 81 fixed on both sides of the fixed frame 5. A first movable frame 82 is fixed to the movable end of the first cylinder 81. A second guide groove 83 is vertically opened on the first movable frame 82. A third guide groove 84 is obliquely opened on both sides of the fixed frame 5. A guide block 85 is slidably arranged in the inner cavity of the third guide groove 84. The guide block 85 is fixed on the outside of the movable frame 6. A guide rod 86 is slidably arranged in the second guide groove 83 on the side of the guide block 85 away from the movable frame 6. The first cylinder 81 drives the first movable frame 82 to move. Then, under the combined action of the guide block 85 and the guide rod 86, the movable frame 6 moves along the composite trajectory of the second guide groove 83 and the third guide groove 84, which facilitates moving the movable frame 6 backward and removing the sock from the conformal sock plate 3.

[0023] In a further preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown: The horizontal push assembly 9 includes a second cylinder 91 fixed to the outside of the swing frame 46, a second movable frame 92 fixed to the movable end of the second cylinder 91, a fourth guide groove 93 vertically opened on the second movable frame 92, and a push rod 48 movably engaged in the fourth guide groove 93. The second movable frame 92 is moved by the second cylinder 91, so that the push rod 48 moves under the cooperation of the first guide groove 47 and the fourth guide groove 93, which is used to limit the shape-contouring sock plate 3 and ensure that the shape-contouring sock plate 3 moves into the fixed frame 5.

[0024] In addition, such as Figure 2-3 As shown: The surface of the push rod 48 is provided with a limiting groove 12. The position of the limiting groove 12 corresponds one-to-one with the shape-conforming sock plate 3. Through the cooperation of the limiting groove 12, the shape-conforming sock plate 3 can be limited and precisely restricted within the limiting groove 12. Subsequently, the movement of the push rod 48 limits the end of the shape-conforming sock plate 3 away from the moving frame 2, so as to prevent the shape-conforming sock plate 3 from shaking and causing the sock to be out of position, which would affect the clamping and fixing of the sock by the clamping plate 72.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown: An arc-shaped groove 13 is provided on the outer side of the fixed base 41. A fixed post 14 is slidably arranged in the inner cavity of the arc-shaped groove 13. The fixed post 14 is fixed on the swing frame 46. The cooperation between the arc-shaped groove 13 and the fixed post 14 makes it easy to limit the deflection angle of the swing frame 46, and at the same time ensure the stability of the swing frame 46 after deflection, so as to prevent the push rod 48 from shaking and affecting the limiting of the contour sock plate 3.

[0026] In practical use, the movable frame 2 moves out of the shaping equipment within the movable track 1 and is then blocked by the limiter on the movable track 1. Then, the deflection motor drives the drive sprocket 44 to rotate, and the drive communication drives the driven sprocket 45 and the rotating shaft 42 to rotate through the chain. The rotating shaft 42 drives the swing frame 46 to deflect towards the contoured sock plate 3. The push rod 48 on the swing frame 46 approaches the contoured sock plate 3 and locks the contoured sock plate 3 into the limiting groove 12. Then, the second cylinder 91 pushes the second movable frame 92, causing the push rod 48 to slide in the first guide groove 47. The push rod 48 applies pressure to the contoured sock plate 3, causing the contoured sock plate 3 to deviate from the fixed frame 5. Then, the first cylinder 81 drives the first movable frame 82, causing the movable frame 6 to move within the guide block. With the cooperation of guide rod 85 and guide rod 86, the movement proceeds along the composite trajectory of the second guide groove 83 and the third guide groove 84, so that the clamping plate 72 on the movable frame 6 is placed on both sides of the contoured sock plate 3. Then, the drive motor 74 drives a set of threaded rods 71 ​​to rotate, and another set of threaded rods 71 ​​rotates synchronously with the cooperation of the linkage gear 75. Subsequently, the clamping plate 72 moves on the threaded rod 71 with the cooperation of the threaded sleeve 73, so that the clamping plates 72 on both sides of the contoured sock plate 3 clamp the sock. Then, the first cylinder 81 drives the movable frame 6 to move backward, removing the sock from the contoured sock plate 3. The swing frame 46 swings upward under the drive of the rotating shaft 42, and the contoured sock plate 3 returns to its original position under the drive of the torsion spring 11, ensuring that the contoured sock plate 3 is in a vertical state.
