Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shaping, and more specifically, it relates to a shaping device for the production of outdoor protective socks. Background Technology
[0002] Outdoor protective socks are functional socks designed specifically for outdoor activities, aiming to provide extra protection and support to cope with various harsh environments and conditions. In order to improve the quality of the socks, outdoor protective socks need to be heat-set during the production process, which is where the sock-setting device is used.
[0003] Existing sock shaping devices generally include a conveyor belt and several sock molds mounted on the conveyor belt. Heating and cooling chambers are set along the conveyor belt's movement path. During production, workers place socks onto the sock molds, which then pass through the heating and cooling chambers sequentially, driven by the conveyor belt. Heating components in the heating chamber heat-shape the socks, while fans in the cooling chamber cool the socks to prevent burns to workers. After cooling, workers remove the socks from the sock molds, completing the sock shaping process. Since socks come in various sizes, different sizes require corresponding sock molds during heat shaping. Existing sock molds are typically fixed to the conveyor belt with bolts or other tools, making mold replacement time-consuming, labor-intensive, and cumbersome, which reduces production efficiency to some extent.
[0004] Based on the above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a shaping device for the production of outdoor protective socks, so as to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a shaping device for the production of outdoor protective socks. This utility model reduces the labor intensity of workers and improves production efficiency by setting an opening and closing mechanism on the conveyor belt, which allows for quick replacement of sock molds.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a shaping device for the production of outdoor protective socks, comprising a conveyor belt, a plurality of sock molds arranged on the conveyor belt, a drying chamber and a cooling chamber arranged along the path of the conveyor belt, a plurality of opening and closing mechanisms arranged on the conveyor belt, each opening and closing mechanism comprising a base, a slot for inserting the sock mold on the base, a clamping plate slidably connected to the base, a limiting part for limiting the sock mold on the clamping plate, a limiting groove for inserting the limiting part on both the base and the sock mold, and an opening and closing mechanism for driving the clamping plate to open and close on the conveyor belt.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the sock mold needs to be replaced, the user drives the clamping plate away from the base through the opening and closing mechanism, thereby separating the limiting part from the limiting groove. At this time, the sock mold is no longer restricted by the limiting part, and the user can pull the sock mold out of the slot and insert the new sock mold into the slot. Then, the user drives the clamping plate closer to the base through the opening and closing mechanism until the limiting part is inserted into the limiting groove of the sock mold. The inner wall of the slot and the limiting part will limit the sock mold, so that the sock mold is fixed and upright on the base.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the conveyor belt is a chain plate type conveyor.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the opening and closing mechanism includes a slide that is fixedly connected to a clamping plate at one end, a push rod that is fixedly connected to the other end of the slide, the slide being slidably connected to a base, a plurality of springs being provided on the slide, the two ends of the springs respectively abutting against the base and the slide, a push block being provided on the chain plate type conveyor, the cross-section of the push block being trapezoidal, and a drive mechanism being provided on the chain plate type conveyor to drive the push block to approach or move away from the push rod.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the driving mechanism includes a plurality of guide rods one end of which is fixedly connected to the push block, the other end of which is slidably connected to the chain plate conveyor, and the push block is also provided with a lead screw one end of which is rotatably connected to the lead screw, the other end of which is threadedly connected to the chain plate conveyor.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the cross-section of the limiting part is trapezoidal.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: a positioning strip is fixedly connected inside the slot, and a positioning groove for the positioning strip to be inserted is provided on the sock mold.
[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a roller is rotatably connected to the push rod.
[0014] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This invention features an opening and closing mechanism on a conveyor belt. The mechanism includes a base, a clamping plate, and a drive mechanism for moving the clamping plate. When the sock mold needs to be replaced, the drive mechanism moves the clamping plate away from the base, thus removing the upper limit restriction of the clamping plate and allowing for mold replacement. After replacement, the drive mechanism again moves the clamping plate back to the base, inserting the limiting part into the limiting groove of the sock mold, completing the replacement process. This design increases the speed of sock mold replacement, reduces worker workload, and improves production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] A shaping device for the production of outdoor protective socks, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the system includes a conveyor belt 1, on which several sock molds 2 are mounted. A drying chamber 3 and a cooling chamber 4 are located along the path of the conveyor belt 1. Both the drying and cooling chambers are mature existing technologies, and no improvements have been made to them in this case; therefore, their structure and working principle will not be elaborated upon here. The conveyor belt 1 has several opening and closing mechanisms, each including a base 5. The base 5 has slots 6 for inserting the sock molds 2. The width of the slots is slightly larger than the thickness of the sock molds, allowing them to enter and exit smoothly and also providing support and limiting their position, keeping them upright. A clamping plate 7 is slidably connected to the base 5, and the clamping plate 7 has a limiting part 8 for limiting the sock molds 2. Both the base 5 and the sock molds 2 have limiting grooves 9 for inserting the limiting part 8. The conveyor belt 1 has an opening and closing mechanism that drives the clamping plate 7 to open and close.
[0026] Furthermore, the conveyor belt is a chain plate type conveyor, and several bases are fixedly connected to several chain plates of the chain plate type conveyor.
[0027] Furthermore, the opening and closing mechanism includes a slide 10 fixedly connected to the clamping plate 7 at one end, a push rod 11 fixedly connected to the other end of the slide 10, the slide 10 being slidably connected to the base 5, and a plurality of springs 13 provided on the slide 10, the two ends of the springs 13 respectively abutting against the base 5 and the slide 10. The chain plate conveyor is provided with a push block 14, the cross-section of the push block 14 being trapezoidal, and the chain plate conveyor is provided with a drive mechanism for driving the push block 14 to approach or move away from the push rod 11.
[0028] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes several guide rods 15 with one end fixedly connected to the push block 14, and the other end of the guide rod 15 is slidably connected to the chain plate conveyor. The push block 14 is also provided with a lead screw 16 with one end rotatably connected to it, and the other end of the lead screw 16 is fixedly connected to a handwheel. The lead screw is threadedly connected to the chain plate conveyor.
[0029] Furthermore, the cross-section of the limiting part 8 is trapezoidal.
[0030] Furthermore, a positioning strip 17 is fixedly connected inside the slot 6, and a positioning groove 18 is provided on the sock mold 2 for the positioning strip 17 to be inserted.
[0031] Furthermore, a roller 12 is rotatably connected to the push rod 11.
[0032] Working principle: When the stocking mold 2 needs to be replaced, the user rotates the screw 16 by handwheel. The screw 16 pushes the push block 14 closer to the push rod 11 until the push block 14 moves to the appropriate position. Then, the chain plate conveyor is started. The conveyor belt of the chain plate conveyor drives multiple bases 5 to move slowly. During this process, the roller 12 contacts the push block 14. The roller 12 drives the push rod 11 to move along the trapezoidal trajectory on the outer surface of the push block 14. During this process, the push rod 11 first drives the carriage 10 to move away from the push block 14, and then drives the clamping plate 7 away from the base 5, so that the limiting part 8 on the clamping plate 7 is in contact with the stocking mold 2. When the limiting groove 9 on the upper part is separated, the sock mold 2 loses the restriction of the limiting part 8, and the user can pull the sock mold 2 out of the slot 6 and insert a new sock mold 2 into the slot 6, and insert the positioning strip 17 into the positioning groove 18 of the sock mold 2. The positioning strip and the positioning groove will further restrict the sock mold and prevent the sock mold from tipping over during movement. Then the continuously moving roller 12 gradually separates from the push block 14, and the slide 10 will drive the clamp 7 to approach the base 5 under the action of the spring 13 until the limiting part 8 is inserted into the limiting groove 9 of the sock mold 2. The inner wall of the slot 6 and the limiting part 8 will limit the sock mold 2, so that the sock mold 2 is fixed and upright on the base 5.
[0033] With this setup, when workers change the sock mold 2, they only need to adjust the position of the push block 14. Afterward, they only need to pull out the old sock mold 2 and insert the new sock mold 2 into the slot, making the replacement very convenient. After all the sock mold 2 have been replaced, the handwheel is rotated in the opposite direction until the position of the push block no longer contacts the roller 12, which greatly improves the replacement efficiency of the sock mold 2.
[0034] It's worth mentioning that as the sock mold moves along the chain conveyor, it protrudes significantly when it reaches either end of the conveyor. Users can place guardrails on both sides of the conveyor to prevent workers from getting too close and colliding with the sock mold. Chamfers are provided on the slots, positioning bars, and positioning grooves to facilitate the insertion and removal of the sock mold.
[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
