Description

An integrated device for sock transfer, stitching and turning Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sock machine manufacturing, and in particular relates to an integrated sock transfer, sewing and turning device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, fully automated sock machines generally require functions such as knitting, transferring, sewing, and turning socks from tube to tube. Existing fully automated sock machines have major technical drawbacks, such as the method and device for closing a tubular knitted article at its axial end at the end of a production cycle on a circular knitting machine for hosiery, disclosed in patent application number CN200980108882.0. During the transfer operation, the transfer needle must move upward from under the needle latch, closely adhering to the needle. This structure and operating method have three drawbacks: first, significant wear on the transfer needle and needles; second, difficulty aligning the main transfer needle with the needles when the needle cylinder has a large number of needles; and third, large, unsightly sewing holes. Technical issues

[0003] In addition, the application number US20060144095A1 discloses a method and device for transferring socks from a hosiery machine to a sewing device, wherein the mechanism containing the structural transfer needle and the mechanism containing the control mechanism for the auxiliary transfer needle (piece) are combined in the same transfer mechanism device, and the pneumatic mechanism for controlling the push ring plate arranged at the upper position of the transfer mechanism greatly increases the height of the entire transfer mechanism. Such a structure and working method have three disadvantages. The first disadvantage is that the mechanism containing the structural transfer needle and the mechanism containing the control mechanism for the auxiliary transfer needle (piece) are combined in the same transfer mechanism device. The resulting greatly increased weight of the transfer head affects the stability of the needle transfer; the second disadvantage is that there is no structure between the main transfer needle and the auxiliary transfer needle (piece) to guide the knitting needle into the main transfer needle. When the number of needles in the syringe is large, it is difficult for the main transfer needle to correspond to the knitting needle; the third disadvantage is that the pneumatic mechanism of the control push ring plate set at the upper position of the transfer mechanism greatly increases the height of the overall transfer mechanism. During the transfer work, the head (hat cover) of the hosiery machine needs to be lifted higher and at a larger angle, which will cause the yarns on the shuttle participating in the hosiery knitting work on the head (hat cover) to entangle with each other and affect the normal operation of the hosiery machine.

After the sock turning is completed, the turning motor 84 and the turning rod 85 are driven by the sliding cylinder 82 to make the turning rod 85 enter the turning device slot 3231, and then the turning motor 84 drives the turning rod 85 to rotate so that the turning semicircular gear disc assembly 37 is turned to the position below the fixed semicircular gear disc assembly 38, so that the right main transfer needle on the turning semicircular gear disc assembly 37 is turned The needle tip of 327 is aligned and enters the left main transfer needle 328 on the fixed semicircular gear disk assembly 38, and then the top sock transfer rod 541 moves upward, so that the lower top sock transfer block 55 drives the lower top sock transfer device 56 to move upward, and the lower top sock transfer device 56 drives the flipping semicircular gear disk sock pushing plate 324 to move upward through the flipping semicircular gear disk sock pushing plate top rod 326, pushing the other half of the coil of the sock 902 on the right main transfer needle 327 onto the left main transfer needle 328, and then the top sock transfer rod 541 and the lower top sock transfer device 56 move downward and return to their position, and then the flip rod 85 rotates to drive the flipping semicircular gear disk assembly 37 to return to its position, and then the flip motor 84 and the flip rod 85 move back to their position, and the flipping semicircular gear disk sock pushing plate 324 is reset by the reset spring 361.

[0057] Step 4: As shown in Figures 17 and 18, the socks main transfer arm device 3 and the socks auxiliary transfer arm device 4 move downward to a certain position, so that the left main transfer needle 328 on the fixed semicircular toothed disc assembly 38 and the seam tooth needle 511 on the seam head semicircular toothed disc 51 are accurately aligned, and then the fixed semicircular toothed disc sock pushing plate piston rod 313 and the fixed semicircular toothed disc sock pushing plate 325 move downward to push the coil of the sock 902 on the left main transfer needle 328 onto the seam tooth needle 511, and then the upper sock cylinder piston rod 316 pushes the upper sock cylinder 35 to move downward to support the sock 902. At the same time, the socks main transfer arm device 3 and the socks auxiliary transfer arm device 4 move upward to a certain position at the same time and wait for the seam head machine mechanism assembly 6 to enter the sewing work.

[0058] Step 5: As shown in Figure 18, after the toe sewing machine mechanism assembly 6 enters the sewing working position, the sewing sock pressing piece 63 moves downward to a certain position and presses the socks 902. Then the toe sewing machine mechanism assembly 6 sews the socks 902. After the sewing work is completed, the sock flipping mechanism assembly 9 completes another sock flipping work and ends a work process.
