Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for turning and aligning cylindrical sock fabric, including a pipe that can move forward and backward to cover the sock fabric, turn it over, and suck it in, and a device that can move forward and backward into the sock fabric that is placed over the tip of the pipe. The sock fabric is pulled into the center of the pipe by pressure contact, and the sock fabric is pulled back to a position where the rear end of the sock fabric slightly covers the tip of the pipe. a chuck device that can be freely moved toward and away from the pipe by gripping the rear end of the sock fabric and swinging it to slightly drag the sock fabric from the pipe;
The sock consists of a pulling device that can move forward and backward to press the rear end of the sock fabric held by a chuck device to drag the sock fabric out of the pipe and stretch the sock fabric in conjunction with air blowing. In addition to the manual work of covering the tip of the pipe with the fabric, the sock fabric is automatically turned inside out in preparation for the toe linking process, and the straddled/kinged sock fabric is turned inside out to prepare for the steam setting process. In this case, the sock fabric is also arranged so that the desired number of socks can be tied together.

Conventionally, sock fabric knitted by a sock knitting machine is turned inside out to link the open toe portion, and the linked sock fabric is turned inside out to the outer surface and finished by a steam setting process. However, the process of turning the sock fabric inside out is done by hand by placing it over the end of the pipe where air is being sucked, so the sock fabric ejected from the pipe overlaps in a lump, and as it is stretched, the number of socks is counted, for example one big piece at a time. It takes time and effort to tie it together.

The present invention eliminates such drawbacks, and the embodiment thereof will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

When the sock is sucked in, it is activated by the self-defense. Shoji is a pedestal, and one side edge is hinged to the bed fl so that it can be tilted freely.

Since the present invention is constructed in this manner, when the sock fabric 09) is manually placed over the tip of the pipe (c), the photocell 147
) detects the edge of the fabric, the air cylinder (e) is activated, and the piston rod retracts, causing the pipe (3) to advance and come into contact with the air suction cylinder part 4. At this time, at the same time as it comes into contact with the damper ('@ is closed), the frame t3+ +31 moves in the direction of approaching each other due to the regression of the piston rod ICY of the air cylinder till lθ).

At the same time as the pressure welding, the motor (+3H131 rotates forward and the air cylinder 1B) starts, and the sock fabric (I9) is moved by the movement of the screw (screw)/rod (8γ and the bell) (07) (17) and the advance of the frame (3) itself. Pull it into the center of the pipe □□□ and cover it. Vibro! When the photocell tube η detects that the rear end of the sock fabric (19) has passed through the tip of the sock fabric (19), the damper is released and the back end of the sock fabric (19) moves out of the pipe. Pull back the sock fabric (19) until it slightly covers the tip opening. When the frame (3) returns to its original position, the motor H (131) stops, and at the same time, the piston rod (θY) of the air cylinder tfl advances to release the pressure contact of the sock fabric (P/' for 1 piece) 07)0η. At the same time as the release, the sock fabric (19) is turned inside out from the rear end and sucked into the pie goo. When the rear end comes into contact with the detection end of micro switch 4, the damper (3
0) closes the air suction cylinder part 4 and quickly cuts off air suction.

At the same time, the air cylinder (E) operates and the pipe retracts to its original position, waiting for the next operation. The rear end of the sock fabric 09), which has slightly protruded outward from the rear end of the pipe and is about to hang down due to the retreat of the pipe (■), is held inside out by the first
As the chuck device, which was located at the position shown by the dashed line in the figure, swings to the position shown by the solid line due to the rotation of the high rotor state, the gripping plate 37) scoops up the lower surface of the sock fabric Q@, and at the same time the piston of the chuck cylinder The rod moves forward and bites the rear end of the sock fabric (19) with the tip of the piston rod and the biting plate βη. Simultaneously with the completion of the gripping operation, the high rotor rotates, swinging between the chuck devices, and slightly pulling out the sock fabric (19) from the rear end of the pipe (E).

This sock fabric is stretched out and stretched.
The piston rod (4ff) of the alignment rod (4π is the air cylinder 11) moves toward the side of the sock fabric (19), whose rear end is held by the end of the chuck device.
The sock fabric is stretched and aligned by blowing air from the air hole (4γ) to the air hole (4γ), and the air sent from the air pipe (4γ) moves forward. When it stops, the sock fabric is released from the grip between the chuck devices and falls onto the pedestal decoy.At this time, the air is supplied by a butterfly-shaped valve installed on the duct shaft (not shown). It is stopped by the closing operation, and then the drawing rod W is returned to its original position by the regression of the piston rod (41Y).

The sock fabric (I9) that has been turned inside out and pulled together that has fallen onto the quadruple pedestal is tied up into the desired number of socks by a pulling rod (not shown) (not shown) (a counter that measures the number of times 4y moves), and tied up at the toe section. It is forwarded to the linking process of
Furthermore, the opening of the sock fabric, which has been turned inside out and has completed the linking process, is placed over the tip of the pipe clasp, and by the above-mentioned operations, it is again turned over to the outer material and aligned.
It is bundled and sent to the steam setting process. Although not shown, when a device for dividing the sock fabric continuously knitted by the rib knitter sock knitting machine one unit at a time is installed at an appropriate place on the bed (1) of the present invention, three steps of dividing, reversing, and aligning can be performed. can be done quickly and easily.

As described above, the present invention is a useful invention that has a robust and durable structure, is free from failure, and is reliable in operation and significantly improves work efficiency.
