Method for manufacturing shoe uppers, comprising: Step A: Providing materials for shoe uppers, wherein a
laser cutting machine (1) is put into operation, whereupon a whole roll of shoe material and
thermoplastic elastomer is placed onto a spool material rod (11) of the
laser cutting machine (1), wherein a feeding device (12) is located above the spool material rod (11), whereupon the shoe material and the
thermoplastic elastomer are transported by the feeding device (12) to a
laser cutting platform (13), and wherein the pre-made pattern image file for the shoe upper is entered into a main control computer of the
laser cutting machine (1), so that a laser head (14) of the
laser cutting machine (1) cuts the shoe material and the
thermoplastic elastomer, and wherein the shoe material and the
thermoplastic elastomer are conveyed via a
conveyor belt to a finished product area after cutting.while the remaining
waste material is transported to the waste area via another
conveyor belt after cutting; Step B: Molding of shoe uppers, wherein a shoe upper
molding machine (2) is put into operation, the shoe upper
molding machine (2) being provided with a single upper mold (21) and several sub-molds (22), and wherein a shoe upper mold template is placed on the sub-mold (22), the
heating temperature and
heating time of the upper mold (21) and the sub-mold (22) are each set, and during the heating process the
heat energy of the sub-mold (22) is transferred to the shoe upper mold template, and wherein an
air compressor is put into operation, wherein, after it has been confirmed that the temperature of the sub-mold (22) has reached the set
heating temperature, the shoe material and the
thermoplastic elastomer provided in the end-product area are placed on the shoe upper mold template, and wherein a vacuum
silicone cover plate (23) covers the sub-mold (22) to block the air.whereupon a negative pressure vacuum device for the lower mold (22) begins to operate to extract the excess air in the lower mold (22), so that the shoe material and the
thermoplastic elastomer can maintain a stable and flat state on the upper mold template, whereupon the lower mold (22) is moved under the upper mold (21), the upper mold (21) being lowered and engaged with the lower mold (22), and the shoe material and the thermoplastic elastomer being heated by the upper mold (21) and the lower mold (22) until the set time is reached, so that the shoe material and the thermoplastic elastomer are thermally melted and fused together at the set temperature to form a multi-layered shoe material composite (3) with a designed upper pattern, and the upper mold (21) is automatically lifted.wherein the sub-mold (22) automatically moves back to its original position to dissipate heat and perform demolding, and wherein while waiting for heat to dissipate from the sub-mold (22), the other sub-mold (22) can automatically repeat the above steps, and wherein when the heat dissipation time of the sub-mold (22) is reached, the vacuum
silicone cover plate (23) is cooled, wherein after lifting the vacuum
silicone cover plate (23), the multi-layered shoe material composite (3) can be continuously cooled, and wherein after cooling is complete, demolding is performed, and wherein the molded and bonded multi-layered shoe material composite (3) is fed to a laser machine in preparation for the next step; , Step C:
Processing of shoe uppers, wherein the laser machine is put into operation, wherein the laser machine is used to perform operations such as air perforation, trimming of rough edges and cutting of waste materials, wherein the multilayer shoe material composite (3) is transported to a printing machine in preparation for the next step; Step D: Printing of shoe uppers, wherein the printing machine is put into operation, whereupon the multilayer shoe material composite (3) is placed on the printing platform of the printing machine for printing, and wherein, after the printing process is completed, the multilayer shoe material composite (3) is removed as a finished product.
