The present invention relates to a conveying apparatus and a conveying method for conveying a semi-finished product from the first machine to the second machine, in particular, hosiery (short socks, collectively such as stockings, abbreviated as socks) -Toe-closing machine (machine to close the toe of the socks, later referred to as toe-closing machine) from the boarding machine (boarding machine: synthetic fiber Maryas semi-finished product (eg, socks) Machine for applying heat to form its shape, hereinafter referred to as a boarding machine] relates to a conveying apparatus and a conveying method for conveying.

In the manufacture of socks, socks in the sense of socks, stockings and the like are first woven in a given machine. It is then generally inverted inside and then loaded into the tow-closing machine to seal the toe end. It was then removed from the tow-closing machine, then flipped back to its normal side, treated in a wet state, heated to fix the form, inspected and packaged.

The above process is not only labor intensive but also very difficult.

It is an object of the present invention to eliminate at least one manual step in the production of socks. According to the present invention there is provided a method for transferring a sock between a first machine and a second machine while inverting the sock, which mechanically removes the sock from the first machine to support the inlet of the sock on the transfer frame, and the sock inlet of the sock. The board is placed in the initial direction of the sock's leg to inflate the sock while driving the sock, to drive all the sock on the feed frame, and to tension the sock on the board while simultaneously inverting the sock. And inserting it into the sock supported by the feed frame.

In addition, according to the present invention there is provided a conveying device for conveying a sock between a first machine and a second machine, the means for removing the sock from the first machine to support the inlet of the sock to the conveying frame, and Means for inflating the sock while supported by the frame, for driving the sock on the transfer frame, and for inserting the boarding frame at the leg end of the sock to invert the sock while simultaneously inverting the sock. Means.

Typically, the first machine is a toe-closing machine in which the socks are supported at the point, and the second machine is a sock boarding machine. By providing a transfer device for transferring the socks between the tow-closing machine and the boarding machine, the labor force performed between these machines is effectively eliminated.

In addition, the present invention reduces the conventional steps involved in the manufacture of socks and allows them to be relocated if necessary. Thus, during weaving, the sock fabric is treated in a wet state and then the inner side is turned upside down or back to its original state to suture the toe. After the toe is sewn by the present invention, no labor is applied and the socks are inverted to the normal side in the boarding machine, placed on a board, heated, set and inspected and then packed. Therefore, both a double flip (conduction) operation of the conventional production method and a load of the socks on the sock can be performed mechanically.

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows that a sock 19 in the form of a short neck sock or stockings is supported inside a point (not shown) of the tow-closing machine 21. Tow-closing machines are known and do not form part of the present invention. Although tow-closing machines known as ROSSO tow-closing machines have been used, other tow-closing machines may be used. The function of the conveying device of the present invention is to automatically transfer the socks from the point of the tow-closing machine to the sock boarding form, which is generally treated as a heat treatment, inspected and then packed and sold.

Thus, FIG. 1 shows two jaws 22 of a clamp proximate to the sock 19 at the lower position of the tow-clutching machine 21. In FIG. 2, the clamp jaws tightly tighten the toe end of the sock and move in two directions indicated by the arrow 24, radially away from the tow-closing machine 21, in a downward direction towards the sensing position. It is done. The sensing position consists of a photocell 25 which is activated when the inlet or upper part of the sock is detected. Operation of the photovoltaic cell 25 blocks the downward movement of the clamp jaw 22 leaving the socks suspended in the position shown in FIG. In this position, the inlet end of the sock is arranged adjacent to the pipe 26. In addition, the operation of the photovoltaic cell 25 allows to reduce the pressure against the pipe. The action of the reduced pressure opens the sock's inlet to accommodate the duct finger 28 of the duct.

The continuum has four fingers 28, which are adjacent to each other when the continuum is in the closed state, but spread out radially outward when the activator is open.

In FIG. 2, an engaging finger 28 is shown for insertion into the mouth of the sock in the direction of the arrow in the closed position.

) 모양으로 만곡된 선의 형태이다.In FIG. 3, the continuum finger is inserted into the sock and the continuum is opened, as indicated by arrow 30. The conveying frame 1 consisting of two parts is shown below the throttle and is inserted into the entrance of the sock between the throttle fingers in the direction of the arrow 31. The two-part feed frame is the Greek letter omega (as shown in Figure 6).

) Is the shape of a curved line.

4 shows the transfer frame inserted at the entrance of the sock. Although the feed frame is composed of curved lines, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to this, but that any spacer having a suitable shape may be used.

In FIG. 5, the feed frame moves upwards in the direction of the arrow 32 to take off the socks from the electrostatic finger 28. At the same time, the jaws 22 of the clamp open in the direction of the arrow 33 to release the socks 19 so that the socks are freely suspended by the transfer frame 1. FIG. 6 corresponds to the position shown in FIG. 5, but shows a perpendicular view with respect to the position of FIG. 5 so that the omega-shaped transfer frame line 3 is visible.

In the position shown in FIG. 7, the airflow 20 inflates the sock 19 to remove entanglements and wrinkles. The socks 19 are supported on the transfer frame by elastic welds supported on the spherical lower side of the transfer frame. A pair of rollers 8, 9 are then driven in conjunction with the opposing component of the sock supported by the feed frame 1. The rollers (8, 9) drive the legs and toes of the socks until the full length of the socks is accommodated in the transfer frame as shown in Fig. 8, where the length of the socks is the Omega type. In the neck portion 5 of the line 3 is folded in the form of accordion.

9 shows a flat hosiery 2 inserted in the space between two transfer frame lines 3. In this process, the socks are received in the housing frame, at the same time turning the socks over to the normal outer surface. The above-described operation sequence is completed, and the socks supported on the sock mold 2 are heat set in a boarding machine (not shown), and then inspected and satisfactorily packaged. The flipping step of the socks which were done manually before now is done automatically. In addition, the step of manually loading the socks into the socks frame is omitted.

The conveying apparatus is shown in a substantial form in FIG. 10, wherein like parts in FIGS. 1 to 9 are shown with like reference numerals. However, for the sake of brevity, no socks are shown in FIG.

The conveying device shown in FIG. 10 consists of a wheel having three tubular rims spaced at the same angle by an angle 14. This wheel is rotatably mounted at reference numeral 21 for the movement indicated between the three positions 16, 17, 18. The rod 6 is elastically mounted by a spring, not shown, which causes each rod 6 in each tubular rim to move as a piston in the associated rim. At the intermediate end of each rod 6 a roller cam 11 is provided, which moves along the guide orbit 12 between the positions 17 and 18 for the purpose described above. The conveying frame 1 is fixed to the outer end of each rod 6 and moves with it.

The position 16 is related to the position shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, i.e., the position at which the sock is first received and suspended on the feed frame 1. The wheel is then directed by one clockwise movement to bring the feed frame at position 16 to position 17. The position 17 is not only related to the position shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, but also the socks are inflated by the airflow 10 and then by the rollers 8, 9 the two of the feed frame 1. It is driven by a line and moved. In order to load continuously, the rollers 8 and 9 are moved from the feed frame to the wheel which is continuously supported.

If the wheel is instructed once more, the roller cam 11 is introduced into the guide track 12 so that the transfer frame is positioned with respect to the longitudinal axis 13 of the boarding frame 2 instead. During this exercise, the boarding frame 2 takes off the socks from the transfer frame and at the same time flips the socks over to the top side. Thus, the step between the positions 17 and 18 is related to that shown in FIG. 9 at this time to reach the position 18 so that the transfer frame is released to accommodate another sock.

Although no handling of socks occurs between the positions 18 and 16 in this conveying device, there is no reason that the socks cannot be loaded in the position 18. Moreover, although FIG. 10 shows the wheel with the three rims, the conveying device is a convenient number of rims.

FIG. 11 shows two lines 3 of the transfer mold 1 spaced by the gap A, and a cross-sectional view of the sock boarding frame 2 disposed within the interval, the two lines from the transfer frame. It is used to remove the socks up to the boarding frame.

Although the present invention has been described for transferring socks from a tow-closing machine to a sock boarding machine, the present invention is not intended to be limited only to this, and the transfer device of the present invention is a semi-finished product between two predetermined machines, It should also be understood that it can be used to transfer semi-finished meriya semi-finished products.
