Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sock processing, specifically to a sorting mechanism for sock production. Background Technology

[0002] Sock processing involves turning yarn into finished socks through knitting, sewing, dyeing, shaping, and finishing processes. It encompasses the entire process from raw material handling to final packaging, requiring operations such as shaping the sock form, weaving patterns, and calibrating sizes according to design requirements. Sock sorting, on the other hand, is the process of classifying and organizing finished or semi-finished socks according to specifications (such as size), style (such as long socks, short socks, and ankle socks), color, and quality grade (such as qualified and defective products). Its purpose is to ensure that products leaving the factory are of uniform specifications and clearly categorized, facilitating subsequent packaging, warehousing, and sales. It also allows for the rapid screening of unqualified products, reducing the risk of defective products entering the market and improving production efficiency and product quality management.

[0003] Sorting of socks often uses sorting carts. Traditional sorting carts have a multi-layer design, with each layer containing sorting boxes for different socks. However, such sorting equipment still has shortcomings. For example, the sorting boxes on the lower layers require workers to squat down to reach them during both the sorting process and subsequent transfer, which is inconvenient to use.

[0004] Therefore, we need to propose a sorting mechanism for sock production. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sorting mechanism for sock production, featuring a circular turntable and surrounding sorting boxes. By rotating the turntable, any sorting box can be adjusted to a height that facilitates operation (all sorting boxes can be reached without squatting). This solves the problem of difficulty in accessing lower-level boxes in traditional multi-layer designs, shortens the time for a single sorting operation, reduces the frequency of bending over and squatting for workers, and lowers labor fatigue, thereby addressing the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: Sorting mechanisms for sock production include: The base has support plates symmetrically arranged at both ends of its top, and a circular turntable is rotatably installed on the inner side of the two sets of support plates. The sorting mechanism is set between the two sets of turntables. The sorting mechanism includes support rods and sorting boxes. Several sets of support rods are equidistantly arranged around the two sets of turntables. The sorting boxes are hung on the bottom of the support rods. Multiple sets of sorting boxes are equidistantly arranged. The position of different support rods can be adjusted by rotating the turntables to facilitate the sorting of different socks.

[0007] Preferably, a shaft is provided at the center of the outer wall of the turntable, and a bearing is provided at the center of the upper part of the support plate. The shafts of the two sets of turntables are respectively inserted and fixed to the inner rings of the two sets of bearings.

[0008] Preferably, the end of one set of the shafts extends to the outside of the support plate, and the end of the shaft is provided with a drive arm, the end of the drive arm is provided with a protrusion, and a rotating sleeve is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the protrusion for rotating the turntable to adjust the position of different sock sorting boxes.

[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the support plate is provided with a number of sets of positioning holes at equal intervals around the shaft, and the positioning holes and positioning rods correspond one-to-one. The protruding post is provided with a threaded cavity that passes through the end of the rotating arm. The distance between the positioning hole and the center of the shaft is matched with the distance between the threaded cavity and the center of the shaft. A positioning screw is threaded in the threaded cavity. One end of the positioning screw is provided with a knob. The other end of the positioning screw is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole after passing through the threaded cavity to position the turntable.

[0010] Preferably, multiple sets of collars are rotatably installed on the support rod, with each collar corresponding to a sorting box. A connecting rod is provided at the bottom of the collar, and a lifting ring is provided at the top opening of the sorting box. A through hole is provided at the center of the top of the lifting ring. The lower end of the connecting rod passes through the through hole and is threadedly locked by a locking ring. The outer wall of the lower end of the connecting rod is provided with a threaded section that matches the locking ring. The locking ring is threaded and installed on the threaded section and fits against the bottom of the lifting ring to support and position the sorting box.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the base is symmetrically equipped with self-locking wheels, and the outer wall of the support plate is provided with a handle for positioning the mobile device.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The design of the circular turntable and the surrounding sorting boxes allows any sorting box to be adjusted to a height that is easy to operate by rotating the turntable (all sorting boxes can be reached without squatting or sitting), which solves the problem of difficulty in accessing the lower level in traditional multi-layer designs. The time for a single sorting operation is shortened, the frequency of bending over and squatting for staff is reduced, and labor fatigue is reduced.

[0013] 2. The structure includes a drive arm and a rotating sleeve to facilitate the rotation of the turntable. At the same time, the turntable can be accurately positioned in the required position (such as the middle position) through the cooperation of positioning holes, positioning screws, and knobs, ensuring that the sorting box is accurately and stably positioned, which is beneficial for sock sorting operations.

[0016] 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.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: Sorting mechanisms for sock production include: The base 1 has support plates 2 symmetrically arranged at both ends of its top. Circular turntables 3 are rotatably installed on the inner sides of the two sets of support plates 2. A shaft 9 is arranged at the center of the outer wall of the turntable 3. A bearing is arranged at the center of the upper part of the support plate 2. The shafts 9 of the two sets of turntables 3 are respectively inserted and fixed to the inner rings of the two sets of bearings.

[0018] The sorting mechanism is set between two sets of turntables 3. The sorting mechanism includes support rods 4 and sorting boxes 5. Several sets of support rods 4 are arranged equidistantly around the two sets of turntables 3. The sorting boxes 5 are hung on the bottom of the support rods 4. Multiple sets of sorting boxes 5 are arranged equidistantly. By rotating the turntables 3, the position of different support rods 4 can be adjusted to facilitate the sorting of different socks.

[0019] The base 1 supports the circular turntable 3 via support plates 2 at both ends. The shaft 9 at the center of the turntable 3 is inserted into the inner ring of the bearing on the upper part of the support plate 2, forming a freely rotatable rotating structure. When the turntable 3 rotates, the support rod 4 between the two sets of turntables 3 and the sorting box 5 rotate synchronously with the turntable 3, which can rotate the sorting box 5 at any angle to a position that is convenient for the staff to operate (height 1.2-1.5m, no need to squat or sit). Instead of the traditional multi-layer fixed structure, the rotation adjustment solves the problem of inconvenience in taking out the lower sorting box 5, so that all sorting boxes 5 can be operated while standing (reducing the bending degree), shortening the time of a single sorting action and improving the convenience of operation.

[0020] For a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-5 : One set of shafts 9 extends to the outside of the support plate 2, and a drive arm 12 is provided at the end of the shaft 9. A protrusion is provided at the end of the drive arm 12. A rotating sleeve 14 is connected to the outside of the protrusion and is used to rotate the turntable 3 to adjust the position of different sock sorting boxes 5. Several sets of positioning holes 10 are equidistantly opened around the shafts 9 on the outer wall of the support plate 2. The positioning holes 10 correspond one-to-one with the positioning rods. The protrusion has a threaded cavity 13 that passes through the end of the rotating arm. The distance between the positioning hole 10 and the center of the shaft 9 is matched with the distance between the threaded cavity 13 and the center of the shaft 9. A positioning screw 11 is installed in the threaded cavity 13. A knob is provided at one end of the positioning screw 11. The other end of the positioning screw 11 is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 10 after passing through the threaded cavity 13 to position the turntable 3.

[0021] The operator holds and rotates the rotating sleeve 14, which drives the protruding post and the drive arm 12 to rotate. The drive arm 12 then drives the shaft 9 to rotate, ultimately causing the turntable 3 to rotate, thus adjusting the position of the sorting box 5. When the turntable 3 rotates to the appropriate position, aligning the corresponding positioning hole 10 with the threaded cavity 13, the knob is turned. The positioning screw 11 rotates within the threaded cavity 13 and moves forward, inserting into the positioning hole 10, thereby fixing the turntable 3 in the current position.

[0022] The design of the drive arm 12 and the rotating sleeve 14 makes it convenient for workers to operate the turntable 3 to rotate, while the combination of the positioning hole 10, the positioning screw 11 and the knob can accurately position the turntable 3 in the required position, ensuring that the sorting box 5 is stable in position during the sorting process and will not affect the sorting effect due to the shaking of the turntable 3.

[0023] For a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 1-3 : Multiple sets of collars 6 are rotatably installed on the support rod 4. Each collar 6 corresponds to a sorting box 5. A connecting rod 7 is provided at the bottom of the collar 6. A lifting ring 8 is provided at the top opening of the sorting box 5. A through hole is provided at the center of the top of the lifting ring 8. The lower end of the connecting rod 7 passes through the through hole and is locked by a locking ring. The outer wall of the lower end of the connecting rod 7 is provided with a threaded section that matches the locking ring. The locking ring is threaded and installed on the threaded section and fits against the bottom of the lifting ring 8 to support and position the sorting box 5.

[0024] The collar 6 can rotate freely around the support rod 4 (360° rotation). The connecting rod 7 passes through the through hole of the lifting ring 8 and passes through the sorting box 5. The locking ring engages with the threaded section at the lower end of the connecting rod 7 to firmly fix the sorting box 5 on the connecting rod 7, and the sorting box 5 always remains vertical. When installing the sorting box 5, the lower end of the connecting rod 7 is passed through the through hole of the lifting ring 8, and then the locking ring is screwed into the threaded section at the lower end of the connecting rod 7 so that the locking ring fits against the bottom of the lifting ring 8, thereby fixing the sorting box 5 on the connecting rod 7.

[0025] The design of the collar 6 ensures that the sorting box 5 remains vertical and will not tip over due to the rotation of the turntable 3; the cooperation of the locking ring and the lifting ring 8 can firmly fix the sorting box 5, ensuring the stability of the sorting box 5 during the sorting process, and also facilitating the installation and removal of the sorting box 5.

[0026] For a preferred implementation, please refer to Figure 1 : The bottom of the base 1 is symmetrically equipped with self-locking wheels, and the outer wall of the support plate 2 is provided with handles 15 for the position of the mobile device.

[0027] The operator grips handle 15 and applies pushing or pulling force, causing the wheels to roll on the ground, thus moving the entire device. Once the device reaches the designated position, the self-locking function of the wheels is activated to lock them and prevent the device from moving arbitrarily.

[0028] The combination of self-locking wheels and handle 15 makes the equipment more convenient and flexible to move. Workers can easily move the equipment to different work areas according to production needs, improving the applicability and efficiency of the equipment.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
