Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sock shaping equipment, specifically a sock clamp to prevent tearing. Background Technology

[0002] In the shaping process of sock production, clamps are used to grip the shaped socks carried on the sock plate on the conveyor belt. The design of the clamps in this step directly affects the sock yield and production efficiency.

[0003] However, existing sock clamps require manual removal of socks during use, resulting in low automation and significantly reducing sock processing efficiency.

[0004] To address the aforementioned deficiencies, Chinese Patent No. CN221681402U discloses a sock shaping and removing integrated device, comprising a support frame and work plates symmetrically arranged on the support frame. A shaping box is mounted on each work plate, and a conveyor belt is connected between the work plates via a motor drive. The conveyor belt has several evenly spaced mounting holes, each containing a sock mold. A lifting groove is provided through the sock mold. The lifting component includes a lifting cylinder and an abutment. The lifting cylinder is fixedly positioned between the two work plates, and the abutment is connected to the piston rod of the lifting cylinder. The abutment abuts against the bottom end of the lifting plate. A set of limiting devices is symmetrically arranged on opposite surfaces of the work plates. The conveyor belt is located between the limiting plates. The displacement component includes a rotary cylinder, a rotary shaft, a lead screw slide rail, and a slider. The rotary cylinder is fixedly mounted on the shaping box. The rotary shaft is connected to the drive shaft of the rotary cylinder. The lead screw slide rail is fixedly mounted on the rotary shaft. A lifting plate is slidably arranged in the lifting groove. A lifting component is provided on the working plate. The shaping box has symmetrical through holes on both sides for the sock mold to pass through. The working plate is provided with a displacement component. The displacement component is connected to a pneumatic clamp. Each of the two jaws of the pneumatic clamp is provided with a clamping rod. The side wall of the lifting plate is provided with a clamping groove for the clamping rod to pass through. This design has the advantages of improving the automation level of the device, automatically picking up socks, and improving the efficiency of sock processing.

[0005] The device uses grippers to hold the sock plate during use, thereby achieving automatic sock removal. However, the gripper plate of the device is prone to contacting unexpected parts of the sock, causing the sock to be torn by the lower end of the gripper during the removal process, increasing the probability of sock damage. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sock clamp that prevents socks from being pinched and torn, so as to solve the problems of low automation and easy to tear socks in the existing sock clamps mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sock plate clamp to prevent pinching and tearing, comprising a sock shaping machine, a first clamping plate, a second clamping plate, a silicone anti-collision strip, a silicone sealing gasket, a first mounting block, and a second mounting block. The clamp is fixedly installed on the inner side of the sock shaping machine by screws, and its main function is to clamp the socks formed on the sock plate. The sock plate is installed on a conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt moves cyclically under the drive of the sock shaping machine to realize continuous production of socks. The clamp is composed of the first clamping plate, the second clamping plate, the first mounting block, and the second mounting block, which are assembled by bolts. The edges of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are fitted with silicone anti-collision strips. The silicone sealing gasket is installed on the clamping surfaces of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate. The first mounting block and the second mounting block are connected to the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate by bolts, and the assembled clamping plate is installed on the sock shaping machine.

[0008] Furthermore, the lower end of the first clamping plate is provided with two symmetrical clamping plate mounting holes. The second mounting block is aligned with the clamping plate mounting holes and bolts are inserted for connection. The second mounting block is provided with a downward through screw hole. The first clamping plate is bolted to the clamp mounting plate through the second mounting block.

[0009] Furthermore, the second clamping plate has three clamping plate mounting holes at the lower middle part. The first mounting block is aligned with the clamping plate mounting holes and bolts are inserted for connection. The first mounting block has a downward through screw hole. The second clamping plate is bolted to the clamp drive rail through the first mounting block.

[0010] Furthermore, the right plates of the first and second clamping plates extend upward to form positioning extension plates, which adopt a rounded corner design to simulate a sock plate structure.

[0011] Furthermore, silicone sealing strips are fitted around the edges of the first and second clamping plates to reduce the impact force of the clamps on the sock plates, and the silicone sealing pads on the clamping surfaces are provided with cross-shaped anti-slip patterns to increase friction.

[0012] Furthermore, when the clamp is installed, it forms a ° angle with the horizontal plane, so that the positioning extension plate of the clamp is parallel to the foot surface of the sock plate on the conveyor belt, which facilitates clamping.

[0013] Furthermore, the clamp is pneumatically driven, and the opening and closing of the first and second clamping plates are controlled by the extension and retraction of the cylinder, so as to achieve stable clamping and release of the sock.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: (1) By setting silicone anti-collision strips on the edges of the first and second clamping plates and installing silicone sealing pads with cross anti-slip textures on the clamping surface, the impact force of the clamp on the sock plate is effectively reduced, while the friction between the clamping surface and the sock is increased, preventing the sock from sliding during clamping, thus avoiding the sock being torn and improving the sock production rate. (2) The first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are connected to the sock shaping machine through the first mounting block and the second mounting block. The first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are respectively provided with a specific number and position of clamping plate mounting holes, which makes the installation of the clamping plate more stable and precise, ensuring the stability of the clamping fixture during operation, and helping to improve the continuity and stability of sock production. (3) The right plates of the first and second clamping plates extend upward to form positioning extension plates, and the plate corners are rounded to simulate the structure of a sock plate. This design allows the clamp to be positioned more accurately when clamping socks, and the fit with the sock plate is higher, further reducing the risk of tearing socks and improving the accuracy of clamping. (4) The clamp is installed at a specific angle to the horizontal plane so that the positioning extension plate is parallel to the foot of the sock plate on the conveyor belt. This unique installation angle design makes it easier and smoother for the clamp to pick up socks, and can better adapt to the shape and position of the socks, thus improving the clamping efficiency.

[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] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 This utility model provides the following technical solution: a sock plate clamp to prevent pinching and tearing, including a sock shaping machine 1, a first clamping plate 5, a second clamping plate 6, a silicone anti-collision strip 8, a silicone sealing gasket 7, a first mounting block 9, and a second mounting block 10. The clamp 2 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the sock shaping machine 1 by screws. Its main function is to clamp the socks formed on the sock plate 4. The sock plate 4 is installed on a conveyor belt 3. The conveyor belt 3 moves in a cycle under the drive of the sock shaping machine 1 to realize the continuous production of socks. The clamp 2 is composed of the first clamping plate 5, the second clamping plate 6, the first mounting block 9, and the second mounting block 10 spliced ​​by bolts 13. The edges of the first clamping plate 5 and the second clamping plate 6 are fitted with silicone anti-collision strips 8. The silicone sealing gasket 7 is installed on the clamping surface of the first clamping plate 5 and the second clamping plate 6. The first mounting block 9 and the second mounting block 10 are connected to the first clamping plate 5 and the second clamping plate 6 by bolts 13, and the assembled clamping plate is installed on the sock shaping machine 1.

[0019] By attaching silicone anti-collision strips 8 to the edges of the first clamping plate 5 and the second clamping plate 6, and installing silicone sealing pads 7 on the clamping surfaces, the design effectively avoids contact between the clamp 2 and unexpected parts of the sock, greatly reducing the risk of the sock being torn during clamping, significantly reducing the probability of sock breakage, and improving the yield rate of sock production. At the same time, the clamp 2 is installed at a specific angle to the horizontal plane, making the positioning extension plate 12 parallel to the foot surface of the sock plate 4 on the conveyor belt 3. This design allows the clamp 2 to clamp the sock more accurately, further improving the accuracy and stability of clamping. Moreover, the clamp 2 adopts a pneumatic drive, controlling the opening and closing of the first clamping plate 5 and the second clamping plate 6 through the extension and retraction of the cylinder, realizing stable clamping and release of the sock. The whole process is highly automated, eliminating the need for manual sock removal, greatly improving the efficiency of sock processing, and solving the problems of low automation and high probability of sock breakage in existing clamp 2.

[0020] Example 2: Based on Example 1, this example solves the problem that traditional clamp 2 easily damages socks when gripping them, resulting in a low sock yield. Please refer to [link to example 2]. Figure 2 - Figure 5The first mounting block 9 is also disclosed, and its specific structure is as follows: The lower end of the first clamping plate 5 is provided with two symmetrical clamping plate mounting holes 11. The second mounting block 10 is aligned with the clamping plate mounting holes 11 and bolts 13 are inserted for connection. The second mounting block 10 is provided with a downward through screw hole 14. The first clamping plate 5 is connected to the clamp mounting plate 15 by bolts 13 through the second mounting block 10. The lower middle part of the second clamping plate 6 is provided with three clamping plate mounting holes 11. The first mounting block 9 is aligned with the clamping plate mounting holes 11 and bolts 13 are inserted for connection. The first mounting block 9 is provided with a downward through screw hole 14. The second clamping plate 6 is connected to the clamp drive rail 16 by bolts 13 through the first mounting block 9. The right plate of the first clamping plate 5 and the second clamping plate 6 extends upward to form a positioning extension plate 12, which adopts a rounded corner design and has a simulated sock plate 4 structure.

[0021] The precise bolt 13 connection between the first mounting block 9 and the second mounting block 10 and the first clamping plate 5 and the second clamping plate 6 ensures the stability and reliability of the overall structure of the clamp 2. During the sock clamping process, this stable structure can effectively withstand various forces, ensuring that the clamp 2 will not loosen or deform, thus enabling it to function stably and continuously. Moreover, the positioning extension plate 12 formed by the upward extension of the right plate of the first clamping plate 5 and the second clamping plate 6 has rounded corners and a simulated sock plate 4 structure. This not only allows it to fit better with the sock plate 4 during clamping, improving the clamping accuracy, but also further avoids damage to the socks, further improving the quality and efficiency of sock production.

[0022] Example 3: Based on Example 1, this example addresses the shortcomings of traditional clamp 2 in reducing sock damage. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 - Figure 6 The second clamping plate 6 was also disclosed, and its specific structure is as follows: the edges of the first clamping plate 5 and the second clamping plate 6 are fitted with silicone sealing strips to reduce the impact force of the clamp 2 on the sock plate 4. The silicone sealing pad 7 on the clamping surface is provided with cross anti-slip texture 701 to increase friction. When the clamp 2 is installed, it is at a 50° angle to the horizontal plane, so that the positioning extension plate 12 of the clamp 2 is parallel to the foot surface of the sock plate 4 on the conveyor belt 3, which facilitates clamping. The clamp 2 is driven by pneumatic drive, and the opening and closing of the first clamping plate 5 and the second clamping plate 6 are controlled by the extension and retraction of the cylinder to achieve stable clamping and release of the sock.

[0023] During operation, the positioning extension plate 12 first contacts the base of the sock plate 4 to complete the pre-positioning, avoiding the traditional rectangular clamp from tearing the sock due to the bending of the sock plate 4; during the clamping stage, the silicone anti-collision strip 8 on the edge of the clamp reduces the impact force with the sock plate 4, and the silicone sealing pad 7 with cross anti-slip texture 701 on the clamping surface enhances clamping stability and prevents hard contact wear, achieving a combination of buffering and anti-slip; during subsequent maintenance, relying on the modular splicing structure of the first mounting block 9 and the second mounting block 10, it can be quickly disassembled and assembled with the shaping machine mounting plate and drive rail without the need for overall disassembly, thus improving maintenance efficiency.
