Automated shoelace system

Abstract

A computer-visual-aided automatic shoelace wearing machine is suitable for wearing a shoelace in one shoe. The shoelace has a flexible section and two end pieces which are respectively arranged on theboth ends of the flexible section. The shoe has two shoelace hole pieces and a plurality of shoelace holes arranged on each shoelace hole piece. The computer-visual-aided automatic shoelace wearing machine comprises a frame, at least one mechanical arm and a visual feedback unit. The frame comprises a shoe placing device and a clamping device for clamping the shoelace hole piece. The shoe placingdevice has a shoe placing seat for the shoe to sleeve and place. The mechanical arm includes a clamping jaw module capable of clamping or loosening one end piece, and a machine arm which can drive the clamping jaw module to move relative to the shoe placing seat. The visual feedback unit is in signal connection with the mechanical arm, and includes an image capture module. The image capture module is used to capture at least one image with the relevant position of the shoelace holes from the shoelace hole piece.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic processing system, in particular to an automatic shoelace threading system. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of global industrial automation technology, robots and computer processing platforms have been able to gradually replace human labor. However, for the shoemaking industry, because the shapes of different styles of shoes are very different from each other, and each shoe has a different size model, it is still difficult for the shoemaking industry to achieve fully automated operations, and it still needs to rely on a lot of manpower. . Therefore, under the principles of comparative interests and global division of labor, the shoemaking industry can only continue to shift to areas with abundant labor and low labor costs. [0003] However, in the face of a future where labor will no longer be cheap, the demand for automated machinery and equipment that can help improve shoemaking efficiency a...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the automatic shoelace machine must first ensure that the shoe holes are arranged at the planned perforation position, so that the mechanical arm can smoothly carry out the shoelace operation, so the operator still needs to check the shoelaces from the side. The placement of the shoe is adjusted, but lacks processing flexibility

In addition, the coordination between the mechanical arms can only be controlled by the servo feedback of the motor. For such a delicate task as wearing shoelaces, the mechanical strength and control precision required by the mechanical arms will inevitably be insufficient. high cost of its setup
