Formed body 71,73 structure form is described by clear for the acting among Fig. 7 A to 7F of position of cylindric object, wherein Fig. 7 A is two formed bodies 71,73 perspective view, Fig. 7 B to 7F is the cross section of basis perpendicular to the plane of cylindrical structural member 5A or 5B axis, these planes are among Fig. 7 A by Reference numeral B, C, D, the position that E, F refer to.In these accompanying drawings, Reference numeral M refers to cylindric object, and it illustrates the lateral cross of an elastic edge of object own.In Fig. 7 A, object M is shown as elastic edge and is converted into four layers and about surperficial Y 71, Y 73Vertical orientation.This is that a kind of object can be from the possible structure form of dispatchtude 17 arrival.Usually, object M will arrive all the time and be folded in approximate this mode, but have the orientation at any angle on the cylindrical structural member axis.
Advance object M and surperficial X towards formed body 71,73 according to arrow fM 71And X 73Bump against, and therefore be compelled to rotate, just be set to be parallel to surperficial Y to allow one can reach 90 ° rotational orientation with respect to the initial orientation maximum 71, Y 73Do not consider that object M is as its position during with formed body 71,73 interference, surperficial X 71, X 73Possible rotation is taken place object being taken to the final position that is referred to by Reference numeral M1, or take the position of rotating 180 ° with respect to this position to, just always be parallel to surperficial Y 71, Y 73, as shown in Fig. 7 A to 7F.This has promoted the expansion of describing member by the front to open object and rout up the object inner edge, and is as described below.
As showing among Fig. 6 A and the 6B and also in Fig. 8 A, showing in detail, it has shown cylindrical structural member 5A, one upper end among the 5B, and each cylindrical structural member is made up of two coaxial cylindrical member, one interior one outside, in Fig. 8 A, refer to by Reference numeral 5X and 5Y.Cylindrical member 5X can be in a bit of distance of cylindrical member 5Y slides within that is directly supported by support 3.Be installed in two cylindrical member 5X, a spiral compression spring 6 in the gap between the 5Y trends towards inner cylinder linear element 5X is pressed to, and just stretches out from the top of cylindrical member 5Y.(perhaps more accurate is their part 71C to formed body 71,73, and 73C) with each cylindrical structural member 5A, the inner cylinder linear element 5X of 5B constitutes one.
By diagram in Fig. 8 B and at the following member that is described, inner cylinder linear element 5X can be pushed to down and slip into the inside of cylindrical structural member 5Y, overcomes the elastic force of spring 6 thus.
(referring to Fig. 8 B) for this purpose, dispatchtude 17 end at a flexible extension 17C that collar 17D is provided.Part 17C extends through 18 controls of a pair of cylinder-piston actuater downwards, can in Fig. 8 B, see for one in them, simultaneously two can be at Fig. 1,1A sees in 2.By moving down part 17C, collar 17D rests on the corresponding axle sleeve 5Z, and the inner cylinder linear element 5X of axle sleeve 5Z and cylindrical structural member 5A or 5B constitutes one, and this cylindrical structural member is in primary importance temporarily, promotes cylindrical member 5X downwards.This makes inner cylinder linear element 5X slide with respect to outer cylinder linear element 5Y stretchably, and with dispatchtude 17 pneumatic cylindrical structural member 5A or the 5B of being connected to, so that carry object to arrive cylindrical structural member 5A or 5B from machine 2 through carrier pipe 17.Cylindrical member 5X, the relative telescopic slide effect of 5Y will be set forth at the paragraph that description is used for routing up cylindric object inner edge.
Below cylindric object is positioned at the cylindrical structural member 5A or the 5B that are in primary importance of explanation device go up so that the operation of closed toe subsequently.
Operation described below is alternately carried out on the cylindrical structural member 5A and on the cylindrical structural member 5B.Operation circle of reference cylindrical member 5A described here explains.We suppose that cylindrical structural member 5A will receive cylindric object M from machine 2.Actuator 7 is arranged on an angle position with support 3, cylindrical structural member 5A is located at Fig. 1, the position among the 1A.Actuator 63 suction tube 61 that moves up makes the annex 71A with its formation one, and 71B, 73A, 73B go deep into the inside of cylindrical structural member 5A to finish formed body 71,73 (with annex 71C, 73C together).Telescopic section 17D is lowered will manage 17 and is connected with the inside of cylindrical structural member 5A is pneumatic.In conduit 19, dispatchtude 17 and cylindrical structural member 5A, produce vacuum (interception mechanism 21 is open) by suction tube 61.In case be done by machine 2 knitting objects, it is discharged by knitting needle and is sucked towards cylindrical structural member 5A.This object all opens wide along elastic edge and undertoe.It moves along pneumatic channel, elastic edge preceding and undertoe after.
Vacuum in the pneumatic route spurs cylindric object M and bumps against the grid 67 that constitutes one with suction tube 61 up to it.Owing to form the formed body 71 of guiding and attitude reference device, 73 existence, object arrives cylindrical structural member 5A with free position, and it is configured to be in two positions one when it contacts with grid 67, these two positions schematically provide in Fig. 9 A and 9B, Fig. 9 A and 9B are with respect to the close gripping member 45A of the axis quadrature of cylindrical structural member 5A, the cross section of 45B.
Before the arrival of object M, gripping member 45A, 45B location as shown in Figure 9A and 9B: balance gripping member 45A is farther with respect to balance gripping member 45B distance.Member 45A is aligned in a straight line along the direction corresponding to the large-size in elongated cross sections gap, and this gap is by the surperficial Y that is positioned on formed body 71,73 bottoms 71, Y 73Limit, member 45B is aligned in a straight line in the direction perpendicular to large-size simultaneously.
Because gripping member 45A, B is directly installed on the top of grid 67, they are in the position that the elastic edge from the socks of knitting machine 2 or other cylindric object is arranged on, and as described below they can grip this edge so that its inner edge is opened and routed up to its expansion to the outer surface of cylindrical structural member 5A.
When object M arrives Fig. 9 A, when one shown in the 9B or another position, the suction in the suction tube 61 can be stopped, and the gripping member 45B of balance can be closed mutually and as shown in Figure 10 compress cylindric object M.Arrive after this position, suction can be activated by gripping member 45B, so that they can grip the edge of cylindric object in the zone of two balances.Simultaneously, suction tube 61 can be moved downward and pass through actuator 63 from a distance.Like this,, produce a gap around the 45B at gripping member 45A, described gripping member be in cylindrical structural member 5A lower edge below.
The expansion of gripping member 45B by associated actuators 39 control is opened motion thereby is expanded and open cylindric object M, and it presents the position form shown in Figure 11 and is in from the outstanding zone of the bottom inlet of cylindrical structural member 5A.
Subsequently, compress the edge of cylindric object M in the gripping member 45A zone near each other and that between two gripping member 45B, comprise, as shown in Figure 12.Compress cylindric object M between two front surfaces of gripping member 45A after, gripping member 45A is activated by produce a suction in inside, so that this cylindric object is by this member interlock.Gripping member 45A expansion is subsequently opened motion and is caused the expansion fully of object M to be opened, and object presents the position form shown in Figure 13.
Figure 14 has shown the longitudinal cross-section of cylindrical structural member 5A when object M elastic edge is opened in expansion.Reference numeral MB refers to the elastic edge of object, and Reference numeral MP refers to undertoe, just trends towards forming the edge that object is closed undertoe after the second place of device 1 is closed.Figure 15 and 20 has shown according to identical cross-section cylindric object M inner edge has been routed up operation on the cylindrical structural member 5A.
In Figure 15, shank 51 has been inserted into the expansion of cylindric object M and has opened in the edge MB.After the fabric of removing gripping member and edge MB no longer was attached to them, this shank kept this edge.The open shank 51 of actuator 39 shown in arrow among Figure 15 arrives the position shown in Figure 16.Four shanks 51 (wherein only having two is presented in the viewgraph of cross-section) are in the so big position of opening is set to cross cylindrical structural member 5A down to the edge MB of object M the inlet that expands herein.Not getting rid of the expansion ON operation can carry out by different mechanisms, also be the secondary holding mechanism of list of mechanical type by one for example.Yet configuration described here is reliable especially, because it has avoided unexpected injury to form the fabric of object.
As shown in Figure 14 and 15, when the edge MB of object M was opened in expansion, inner cylinder linear element 5X was in retracted position, just made along cylindrical member 5Y and withdrew.This obtains (Fig. 8 B) by the axle sleeve 17D of dispatchtude 17 and part 17C are upwards returned.On the contrary, in Figure 16, inner cylinder linear element 5X is pressed into lower position once more, and just inlet aligns with the inlet of outer cylinder linear element 5Y.This motion has changed the annex 71C with cylindrical member 5X one, and 73C is with respect to the position of the lower inlet of cylindrical structural member 5A.
The circulus 31 of supporting needle rod 51 is routed up inner edge to the outer surface of cylindrical structural member 5A according to the elastic edge MB who causes object M that moves upward of arrow f31, as shown in Figure 17 and 18.Shank 51 is contracted.
After the edge MB with object M routed up on the outer surface of cylindrical structural member 5A, the radial compaction device compressed the edge once more, and the structure 31 that also supports described radial compaction device move up in addition (referring to Figure 19,20).Like this, radial compaction device 35 moves cylindric object M, routs up inner edge to outer surface from the inside of cylindrical structural member 5A, so that also will be taken on the outer surface of cylindrical structural member by the edge MP that the undertoe that will be closed forms.In the situation of surplus spare, may need structure 31 more than once traverse, wherein expand the radial compaction device of opening 35 and be moved downward and make radial compaction device 35 to be closed in cylindrical structural member 5A to go up and moved up once more.
When the edge MP that is used to form closed toe is brought on the outer surface of cylindrical structural member 5A, just when object M has been routed up inner edge fully and be on the outer surface of cylindrical structural member, comprise rising, Rotate 180 ° and support 3 reduced being performed with the order of support cylinder shape member 5A being taken to the second place that is used for closed toe.
The beginning, edge MP may need to be aligned and flat shape in the ingress edge of cylindrical structural member 5A.This operation can first or the second place carry out, and in Figure 21 A to 21D, be illustrated.In Figure 21 A, object M is routed up inner edge fully to the outer surface of cylindrical structural member 5A, and the edge MP that is used to form closed toe is set at careless, an irregular retracted position with respect to cylindrical structural member 5A end limit.Radial compaction device 35 is set to consistent with the cylindrical structural member terminal area of edge MP below, and arrives the outer surface of cylindrical structural member.They are raised then meets with edge MP and makes this edge segment distance that upwards slides, and this distance enough makes edge MP rest on (Figure 21 B) on all presser foots 35.Like this, edge MP is aligned in one and pushes up on the desirable circumference of cutting with radial compaction device 35 by approximate.At this moment, presser foot 35 is opened and is moved upwards up to the height (Figure 21 C) that is located immediately at edge MP top in addition, is closed then to push down cylindric object M.In the stage subsequently, the presser foot of cutting out is lowered so that the lower edge of the cylindrical structural member 5A in edge MP and Figure 21 D configuration is alignd.This processing procedure can be controlled, for example by the optical pickocff (not shown).In Figure 21 D, edge MP is aligned on the plane perpendicular to the cylindrical structural member axis, and this plane comprises the lower edge of cylindrical structural member 5A.The operation of alignment edge MP can be performed in the second place, is similar to the radial compaction device that described position is used for other function that is installed in as described below.
Figure 22 had shown before 180 ° of runing rests 3 longitudinal cross-section of cylindrical structural member 5A after the operation of routing up object inner edge and alignment object edge MP, and 180 ° of rotations of support 3 will be transported to the second place to cylindrical structural member 5A.
Figure 23 and 27 had shown before closed toe the operation at the cylindric object of second place tensioning.
A circulus 81 that is similar to structure 31 is set at the second place, and supports (referring to Fig. 1 and 2) by a sliding part that moves on vertical guide rail 85 83.Circulus 81 provides the radial compaction device 87 by actuator 89 operations, is similar to radial compaction device 35 and each actuator 37.Have the angle direction motion of circulus 81 on its axis of assembling radial compaction device thereon, its axis is consistent with the axis of cylindrical structural member 5A that is in the second place or 5B temporarily.Angular movement provides (Fig. 1-2) by an actuator 90.
Like this, radial compaction device 87 is pushed down the outer surface of cylindric object M once more, the edge MP of cylindric object M can with the angled location of cylindrical structural member 5A, to connect the undertoe that two edges form sealing, and they are started from outer cylinder linear element 5Y edge and align along outer cylinder linear element 5Y terminal area diametric(al) relative slit or groove 5D with two, can in Figure 25, find out especially.If if cylindrical structural member 5A with respect to support 3 angled fixing or its angle position known, the angle position of slit 5D was pre-known before this.Photoelectricity is held or other optical pickocff 91 (shown in Figure 25) can be used to discern the correct angle position of cylindric object M, for example makes marks by the yarn that inweaves a suitable color.Cylindric object also can be carried out in primary importance about this angle directional operation that object is engaged cylindrical structural member thereon, rather than in the second place.In addition, it also can keep the object fixed angle to be performed by slewing circle tubular member and by means of the radial compaction device.Generally speaking, therefore the angle orientation is obtained, and also can be that another the mutual moving article of cylindrical structural member obtain by being one with respect to retaining element.
At the directed cylindric object M of angle (Figure 23,24) afterwards or in described operating period, two carriage 13A that belong to strainer 13 can introduce (Figure 24,25) in the cylindrical structural member from the bottom.After angle orientation, carriage 13A can be opened (Figure 26) radially outward stretch out from cylindrical structural member 5A and pass the edge MP of the relative slit 5D of diametric(al) with the tensioning object, as shown in Figure 26.Carriage 13A moving downward subsequently carried the edge that is tensioned and enter a zone below the cylindrical structural member lower edge, this edge is sewn by Sewing machines 15 or other suitable device in this zone, and the device that Sewing machines or other are fit to for example is equipped with the cutting machine that passes of edge MP therein." locked in " operation is carried out in known manner and will be described at this.
After closed toe, object M can be routed up inner edge once more and enter in the cylindrical structural member 5A and be removed.This operation is performed by the radial compaction device once more.In the example that illustrates, because only using a dispatchtude 17 supplies with the new object that will be closed and removes the object that has sealed, rout up the object inner edge and second step that it is kept apart is operated in primary importance and is performed, be returned by one of support 3 180 ° of new rotations at that cylindrical structural member 5A.Therefore, if so, radial compaction device 35 are carried out second step operation of routing up the object inner edge, produce a suction that makes progress simultaneously in cylindrical structural member 5A.Figure 28 shows the initial conditions of second operation of routing up inner edge, and its one or more alternately traverses by radial compaction device 35 are inhaled into cylindrical structural member 5A inside up to elastic edge MB and obtain.
Also be not precluded within the second place and take off the possibility of sealing object.For example, a suction catheter that is similar to carrier pipe 17 can be provided and be arranged on the conveying mechanism top, is engaged on the line with cylindrical structural member 5A that is in the second place or 5B temporarily.If so, second step of routing up the object inner edge after closed toe operates in the second place and carries out by radial compaction device 87.
Certainly, if so, the distribution in each stage between the two positions will be different.In any case the operation that this order will need to expand out elastic edge MB and closed toe MP must be carried out two different positions, just in primary importance with in the second place.On the other hand, remaining operation can be performed in one of two positions or another, and according to operator's needs or select to distribute, considers to minimize the needs of closed toe required time all the time.Especially, the angle orientation of object (Figure 23,24) can be performed in primary importance, and in this case, circulus 31 will be that angle direction is removable.The alignment of edge MP (Figure 21 A-21D) can be carried out by the radial compaction device 87 that is in the second place in principle.As described, rout up object inner edge and the second step operation that it unloads can be carried out in the second place.
Figure 29 has shown the different embodiment that install with 30 according to two viewgraph of cross-section, and these two viewgraph of cross-section are similar to the viewgraph of cross-section shown in Fig. 6 A and the 6B.Identical width of cloth figure mark refers to Fig. 6 A, identical or corresponding parts among the 6B.Second embodiment on the different configuration configurations of guiding that makes progress with respect to holding mechanism and attitude reference device with previous different.In this case, cylindrical structural member 5A, the terminal part of 5B (bottom) is made up of an inner frusto-conical face 101, and the elastic edge MB of its aimming circle tubular object is towards corresponding to gripping member 45A, four faces of cylinder 103 that 45B is provided with.Like this, the edge of cylindric object is tensioned on the axis of other cylindrical structural member and is held mechanism and grips.This scheme is favourable not as last scheme, because the position that cylindric object is set up is uncertain and its expansion opened may need gripping member 45A, the repeatedly repeating motion of 45B.
Second embodiment is different from last embodiment, also because a collar 8 is installed to reduce cylindrical structural member 5A, the cross section of 5B in first embodiment.This collar provides the introducing cross section that is shaped to promote passing through of cylindric object.This does not bang in the formed body 71,73 object, and the product that enters by restriction is used for subsequently orientation with its adjustment.
Notice that accompanying drawing only provides by an example, and many variations can be performed structure and the embodiment of the present invention in this imagination, and can not depart from the scope of the present invention.Enclose Reference numeral in the claim and have promotion and understand the purpose of claim, and can not limit the protection domain of pointing out by claim with reference to specification.
