AI Technical Summary
Existing insole materials have a uniform overall softness and hardness, making it impossible to simultaneously possess multiple softness and hardness levels. Furthermore, adhesive-bonded insoles are prone to coming unglued during use, posing environmental concerns.
A dual-density, hard-soft molding method is adopted. By designing a special mold structure and treatment agent, a hard lower layer and a soft upper layer are molded separately. A treatment agent is brushed on the top surface of the hard lower layer to improve adhesion and fuse the two materials. Steps are designed on the mold to adjust the drop and ensure that the massage bumps are full.
The molding method for the prepared double-layer massage insole: The molding method for massage bumps has been realized. The insole prepared by this method has a softness-hardness difference of up to 50 degrees. The material is stable and not easy to fall off. The massage bumps are full and highly comfortable, avoiding the falling off and environmental problems of traditional insoles.

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples.
[0025] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 The present application provides a forming method of a double-density soft and hard combined massage insole, which is used for processing a double-density soft and hard combined massage insole 100. The double-density soft and hard combined massage insole 100 comprises a hard lower layer 10, a soft upper layer 20 and a cloth layer 30 arranged in sequence from bottom to top. In this embodiment, the hard lower layer 10, the soft upper layer 20 and the cloth layer 30 are integrally formed, and there is no need to use glue to stick or sew to fix.
[0026] The outer side edge of the top surface of the hard lower layer 10 is slightly higher than the middle region, so that a recessed surface is formed in the middle. A low massage bump area 11 and a high massage bump area 12 are arranged on the top surface of the recessed surface. A plurality of massage bumps 13 are arranged on the low massage bump area 11 and the high massage bump area 12. The top end of the high massage bump area 12 is higher than that of the low massage bump area 11. Specifically, the bottom of the high massage bump area 12 is substantially flush with the low massage bump area 11, but the top end of the massage bump 13 on the high massage bump area 12 is higher than that of the low massage bump area 11. The bottom of the high massage bump area 12 is provided with a stepped portion 14, and the massage bump 13 is arranged on the stepped portion 14.
[0027] In this embodiment, the high massage bump area 12 is arranged in a specific area where massage needs to be strengthened. The massage bumps 13 in this area are higher than those in the surrounding area. When the massage bumps 13 are too high, there will be problems such as lack of material, depression and insufficient height of the massage bumps 13 during forming, because the holes for forming the massage bumps are small. The design of the stepped portion 14 can reduce the height of the massage bumps 13, so that the height of the massage bumps 13 is within a height value that is convenient for forming, so that full massage bumps 13 are formed. In addition, the top surface of the hard lower layer 10 is provided with a "human" shaped protruding strip 15 at the position of the metatarsal head and a protruding block 16 at the position of the Yongquan acupoint.
[0028] A plurality of limiting blind holes 21, "human" shaped recesses 22 and a middle limiting groove 23 are arranged on the bottom surface of the soft upper layer 20. The limiting blind holes 21 correspond to the massage bumps 13 on the hard lower layer 10, the "human" shaped recesses 22 correspond to the "human" shaped protruding strip 15, and the middle limiting groove 23 corresponds to the protruding block 16. The top surface of the soft upper layer 20 is formed with an upward protruding structure at positions corresponding to the limiting blind holes 21, the "human" shaped recesses 22 and the middle limiting groove 23.
[0029] The forming method of the double-density soft and hard combined massage insole specifically comprises the following forming steps:
[0030] Step one, forming the hard lower layer 10; provide a first forming mold 40, which includes a first lower mold 41 and a first upper mold 42, the first upper mold 42 and the first lower mold 41 are arranged oppositely. The first lower mold 41 is provided with a first mold cavity 411 on the top surface, and the first upper mold 42 is provided with a first mold core 421 on the top surface. An annular first flange 412 is arranged outside the first mold cavity 411, and a plurality of first overflow grooves 413 are arranged on the first flange 412 to segment the first flange 412. A plurality of pattern grooves (not shown in the figure) are arranged on the inner side bottom surface of the first mold cavity 411 for forming the pattern of the insole bottom surface. The first mold cavity 411 can be more than one, which is not limited here. In addition, the first lower mold 41 is also provided with a first guide column 414 on the top surface, which is arranged in a small size upwards and a large size downwards, so as to facilitate the introduction of the limit. An annular first limit step surface 415 is also arranged between the first flange 412 and the top end of the side wall of the first mold cavity 411, which is designed to facilitate the removal of excess material.
[0031] A plurality of first massage grooves 422, step grooves 423 and "person" grooves 424 are arranged on the first mold core 421. The top surface of the step groove 423 is also provided with a first massage groove 422. The "person" groove 424 can form the "person" convex strip 15 on the hard lower surface, the step groove 423 can form the step part 14, and the first massage groove 422 can form the required massage convex point 13. A plurality of first limit holes 425 are arranged on the outer side surface of the first upper mold 42 plate of the first mold core 421, which are arranged one by one with the first guide column 414. When installed, the first guide column 414 is embedded in the first limit hole 425. One end of the first upper mold 42 is pivoted to the corresponding end surface of the first lower mold 41, so that the two can be closed or opened by driving device.
[0032] The first forming mold 40 also includes a material injection device (not shown in the figure), which is provided with a grouting nozzle. The grouting nozzle moves above the mold cavity and pours material into the mold cavity to facilitate forming.
[0033] In operation, the first upper die plate 42 and the first lower die plate 41 are preheated to avoid the glue from being cooled too fast in the cold die plate. Specifically, the first upper die plate 42 and the first lower die plate 41 are provided with heating devices for preheating. The first upper die plate 42 is opened and the first lower die plate 41 is opened. The grouting nozzle is moved above the die cavity and pours a proper amount of high-density slurry for forming the hard lower layer into the die cavity. The slurry is applied on the first die core 421, and the slurry is partially filled into the groove on the first die core 421. Then, the first upper die plate 42 is closed on the first lower die plate 41, and the forming die is rotated so that the first upper die plate 42 is below and the first lower die plate 41 is above. In this way, the slurry is fully filled into the groove of the first die core 421, so that the massage convex 13 is more full. After a certain time of cooling and forming, the first forming die 40 is opened, and the product is taken out. Then, the excess material around the product is removed, and the hard lower layer product is obtained.
[0034] Step two, the cloth layer 30 is positioned. A second forming die 50 is provided, which includes an upper die assembly and a second lower die 51. The upper die assembly includes a second upper die 52 and a middle die 53, which is pivotally connected to the second upper die 52 and can be opened or closed. The second lower die 51 is provided with a second lower die cavity 511, the second upper die 52 is provided with a second upper die core 521, and the middle die 53 is provided with a hollow die cavity 531 in the middle. The second lower die cavity 511, the hollow die cavity, and the second upper die core 521 are one-to-one corresponding. The outer side of the second lower die cavity 511 is provided with a second flange 512, which extends out of the top surface of the second lower die 51. The second flange 512 is provided with a second overflow groove 514 on the top surface.
[0035] The bottom surface of the second upper die core 521 is provided with a plurality of second limiting grooves 522, which are one-to-one corresponding to the massage convex 13. In addition, the bottom surface of the second upper die core 521 and the second upper die 52 are formed with a second step part 523, which is partially embedded in the hollow die cavity.
[0036] The second upper die 521 is provided with a plurality of pegs 524 on the bottom surface of the second upper die 52, which are used to hang the semi-finished product. The semi-finished product includes a middle effective area and an outer mounting area, wherein the shape of the effective area is consistent with the size of the insole. The mounting area is provided with a hanging hole, and the semi-finished product is mounted on the bottom surface of the second upper die 52. The hanging hole is arranged on the corresponding peg 524. Then, the middle die 53 is rotated and attached to the bottom surface of the second upper die 52, and the pad cloth layer 30 is fixed. Then, the massage magnet is adsorbed on the part of the groove on the second upper die 52 from the outside of the pad cloth, so as to form the required magnetic massage convex point. The second forming die 50 also includes an injection device, and the injection device is provided with an injection nozzle. The injection nozzle is moved above the mold cavity and pours the material into the mold cavity, so as to facilitate the forming.
[0037] Step three, forming the soft upper layer 20 and the pad cloth 30. The formed hard lower layer 10 is placed in the second lower die cavity 511. Before the hard lower layer 10 is placed in the second lower die cavity 511, PU treatment agent is brushed on the top surface of the hard lower layer 10, so as to reduce the smoothness of the surface of the hard lower layer, enhance the adhesion, and better fuse the soft material and the hard material. The injection nozzle is moved above the second lower die cavity 511 and pours the soft material into the second lower die cavity 511. The upper die assembly is closed on the second lower die 51. After cooling and forming, the product is taken out. The excess formed material and the pad cloth layer 30 are removed, and the required product is obtained.
[0038] In summary, the forming method of the present application brushes the treatment agent on the top surface of the hard lower layer, so as to improve the adhesion and better fuse the materials with different hardness. The soft and hard materials can be well fused, and the problem of poor fusion of the soft and hard materials is solved. Because of the special structure of the product, the hard massage convex points in the middle part of the insole are too high, the hard particles are too high and have large differences, and the point filling material cannot be full when the material is filled. The particles cannot be filled to the whole mold when the material is foamed, which leads to incomplete particles. The step part is designed on the mold, the difference is adjusted, and the height of the massage convex point is reduced. The particles are full. In addition, when the material is poured on the mold, a wiping action is added, which makes the massage particles protrude. The problem of uneven pouring of the material leads to the problem of incomplete particles of the insole. The hardness difference between the soft upper layer and the hard lower layer of the insole processed by the present application can reach about 50 degrees, and the materials with different hardness can be well fused. The maximum difference of the traditional insole is not more than 20 degrees, and if the difference is too large, the fitting area will fall off. The insole prepared by the forming method of the present application is not only stable and not easy to fall off, but also can form double-layer massage convex points, so that the massage convex points are not too soft or too hard, the soft and hard combination is better, and the comfort is higher. The problem of incomplete filling of the massage convex points is avoided. The present application has strong practicality and strong popularization significance.
