Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of intelligent manufacturing, and in particular to an intelligent shoe upper production method and a production workshop thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the shoe material processing industry, sewing and thread material dispatching is a critical production process that directly affects overall production efficiency and costs. However, traditional shoe material production lines have exposed many drawbacks in actual operation.

[0003] First, these production lines typically consist of multiple processing stations and lack automated loading and feeding systems. After each process is completed, workers must manually transfer the material boxes to the next step. This operation significantly increases worker workload and reduces production efficiency.

[0004] Secondly, due to the differences in the processes of various processing units, it is often the case that after processing is completed at one station, the material box needs to be manually moved to other non-adjacent stations, such as from the first station to the third, sixth, or ninth station. This means that once a processing unit has completed its specific process, the staff may need to manually move the material box over a long distance to another processing unit, or the positions of multiple processing units may need to be swapped, which undoubtedly increases the complexity and inconvenience of the production process.

[0005] Furthermore, the traditional production model results in a significant waste of human resources. Because the time required for each process varies, some processes may require a long wait after others have completed. This not only wastes time but also reduces overall production efficiency to a certain extent.

[0006] Furthermore, because the production process relies heavily on manual labor, automatic statistics of production data cannot be achieved, requiring workers to manually record them. This method is inefficient and prone to errors, causing unnecessary trouble for production management.

[0007] At the same time, the operational proficiency and efficiency of workers on the production line vary, making standardization and unified management of traditional production lines difficult. This diversity not only affects production efficiency but also, to some extent, affects product quality.

[0008] In summary, existing shoe material production lines face multiple challenges in the material dispatching process, including cumbersome delivery, low production efficiency, wasted human resources, statistical difficulties, and inconvenient management. These issues have severely restricted the development of the shoe material processing industry. Therefore, the industry urgently needs an innovative and practical automated material dispatching line to fully optimize the production process, significantly improve production efficiency, and effectively reduce operating costs. Summary of the Invention

[0009] This application provides an intelligent shoe upper production method that solves the problems of inaccurate material box transmission, low screening efficiency, and cumbersome transfer links in the prior art. The method includes the following steps to achieve efficient and automated production of shoe uppers.

[0010] The present application provides an intelligent shoe upper production method and a production workshop thereof, which adopt the following technical solutions:

[0011] In a first aspect, the present application discloses an intelligent shoe upper production method, comprising the following steps:

[0012] Step 1: Place appropriate amounts of uppers to be processed into multiple material boxes;

[0013] Step 2: Place multiple material boxes on the loading device;

[0014] Step 3: The loading device automatically transfers multiple material boxes to the first lifting and feeding device in sequence;

[0015] Step 4: The first lifting feeding device sequentially transfers the plurality of material boxes to the discharging device, and the discharging device sequentially transfers the plurality of material boxes to the top feeding mechanism of the horizontal feeding device;

[0016] Step 5: When the top-level feeding mechanism is conveying the material box and there is no upper to be processed at the processing device, the screening device at the corresponding position releases the blocking effect on the material box of the top-level feeding mechanism, and the material box is conveyed to the first transfer device on both sides of the horizontal feeding device under the joint action of the horizontal feeding device and the screening device;

[0017] When the processing device is processing the shoe upper, the screening device has a blocking effect on the material boxes on the horizontal feeding device, and the top feeding mechanism of the horizontal feeding device continues to convey the material boxes forward, thereby conveying most of the material boxes in turn to the remaining empty processing devices;

[0018] At the same time, a small portion of the material boxes are directly transferred to the second lifting feeding device at the end of the horizontal feeding device. The second lifting feeding device drives the material boxes to rise and fall, thereby transferring the material boxes containing the shoe uppers to be processed to the bottom feeding mechanism. The bottom feeding mechanism transfers the material boxes back to the first lifting feeding device.

[0019] Step 6: The staff manually moves the material box on the first transfer device to the second transfer device;

[0020] Step 7: The staff manually transports the shoe uppers in the material box to the processing device in turn, and uses the processing device to process the shoe uppers in turn;

[0021] Step 8: The staff returns the material box containing the processed shoe uppers to the bottom feeding mechanism of the horizontal feeding device. The bottom feeding mechanism returns some material boxes to the first lifting feeding device according to the processing requirements, and at the same time sends some material boxes to the quality inspection and receiving device;

[0022] Step 9: Repeat steps 1 to 8.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the material boxes are stored and sequentially transferred to the first lifting and feeding device through the loading device, and then the material boxes are lifted and transferred to the top feeding mechanism of the horizontal feeding device by the first lifting and feeding device; the top feeding mechanism sequentially transfers most of the material boxes to multiple processing devices for shoe material processing; after the processing devices have completed the shoe material processing, the staff will place the shoe material in the material box, and then push the material box to the bottom feeding mechanism; at the same time, the top feeding mechanism sequentially transfers a small number of unprocessed material boxes to the second lifting and feeding device, and the second lifting device sequentially transfers multiple material boxes to the bottom feeding mechanism The bottom feeding mechanism finally sends all the material boxes back to the first lifting feeding device through the bottom feeding mechanism, and then the first lifting feeding device sequentially transmits multiple material boxes to the top feeding mechanism, which is then transmitted to multiple processing devices again by the top feeding mechanism, thereby facilitating repeated processing of shoe materials, forming a circular material distribution system, and realizing efficient and automated distribution of shoe materials; through the combination of automated and intelligent equipment, a complete shoe upper material box circular material distribution system is formed; this system not only significantly improves the efficiency of shoe upper production material distribution, but also optimizes the production process and reduces the waste of human resources. Through real-time data monitoring and intelligent material distribution mechanism, the management of the production line becomes more convenient, and the statistics of production data become more accurate; in addition, the system also has high flexibility and scalability, and can be quickly adjusted and optimized according to production needs.

[0024] Optionally, the loading device in step 3 specifically includes the following steps during the loading process:

[0025] A1: Release the blocking effect of the blocking mechanism on the bottom material box;

[0026] A2: The first lifting and feeding device includes a third frame and a plurality of first feeding mechanisms arranged in a vertical direction, and the plurality of first feeding mechanisms sequentially transfer the material box located at the bottom to the first lifting and feeding device;

[0027] A3: For each first feeding mechanism, after the lowest material box is transferred to the first lifting feeding device, the blocking mechanism is restored to block the remaining material boxes, thereby ensuring that only one material box is transferred to the first lifting feeding device at a time.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, during the conveying process, the blocking mechanism for the bottom material box is first released, and then the bottom material box is conveyed to the next level through the first feeding mechanism; when one of the material boxes is successfully conveyed, the blocking mechanism will resume its blocking effect on the other material boxes to ensure that only one material box is conveyed at a time, thereby maintaining the accuracy and orderliness of the conveying.

[0029] Optionally, the process in which the first lifting feeding device sequentially transfers multiple material boxes on the loading device to the top feeding mechanism of the horizontal feeding device of the discharging device specifically includes the following steps:

[0030] B1: The lifting drive mechanism of the first lifting feeding device drives the lifting seat to move up and down, and the lifting seat drives the material box to move up and down;

[0031] B2: When the height of the lifting seat is equal to the height of one of the first feeding mechanisms, the first feeding mechanism delivers the material box containing the shoe uppers to the lifting seat;

[0032] B3: When the height of the lifting seat is lifted to the same height as the top feeding mechanism of the horizontal feeding device, the material box is transferred to the top feeding mechanism through the first lifting feeding device.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the first lifting and feeding device drives the lifting seat to rise and fall through the lifting drive mechanism to realize the lifting and lowering operation of the material box, thereby realizing automated operation, reducing labor costs and improving production efficiency; when the height of the lifting seat is lifted to the same height as the top feeding mechanism of the horizontal feeding device, the first lifting and feeding device accurately transfers the material box to the top feeding mechanism, ensuring the accurate transmission and positioning of the material, which is beneficial to the continuity and stability of the production line; since the first lifting and feeding device can independently drive the lifting and transmission of the material box, it has a high degree of flexibility on the production line, and can adjust and control the transmission speed, quantity, etc. as needed to meet different production needs.

[0036] C2: The rotary drive mechanism drives the first rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the feed bar to rotate to an inclined state. At this time, the feed bar forms a certain angle with the edge of the first frame, and the material box is conveyed toward either side of the first frame under the guidance of the feed bar;

[0037] C3: When the material box on the top feeding mechanism needs to be transferred to the processing device, the first rotating shaft is driven to rotate by the rotary drive mechanism so that the material distribution rod rotates to an inclined state;

[0038] C4: After the transfer is completed, the first rotating shaft is continuously driven to rotate by the rotary drive mechanism, so that the material distribution rod is rotated to the initial position, thereby releasing the blocking effect of the material distribution rod on the material box.

[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, when the top-level feeding mechanism conveys the material boxes, the screening device will release the blocking effect on the horizontal feeding device; at this time, most of the material boxes will be conveyed to the first transfer device on both sides of the horizontal feeding device under the guidance of the dividing rod; at the same time, a small number of material boxes will also be directly conveyed to the second lifting feeding device at the end of the horizontal feeding device.

[0040] Optionally, in step five, the principle of the second lifting and feeding device is the same as the principle of the first lifting and feeding device.

[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, the material box containing the shoe uppers to be processed is transferred to the bottom feeding mechanism through the lifting action of the second lifting and feeding device.

[0042] In a second aspect, the present application further discloses a production workshop comprising a plurality of interconnected production lines, each of which processes a shoe upper based on the above-mentioned production method.

[0066] The following is combined with Figure 1-8 This application is described in further detail.

[0067] The terms used in this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. Unless otherwise defined, technical or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms "first," "second," and similar terms used in the embodiments of this application do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components.

[0068] Example 1

[0069] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment discloses an intelligent shoe upper production method, comprising the following steps:

[0070] Step 1: The staff puts the appropriate amount of uppers to be processed into multiple material boxes, ensuring that the quantity and quality of the uppers in each material box meet the requirements to facilitate subsequent processing.

[0071] Step 2: The staff places a plurality of material boxes containing shoe uppers on the loading device 1, and prepares for the automatic loading operation.

[0072] Step 3: After the loading device 1 detects the material boxes through the sensor, it automatically transfers multiple material boxes to the first lifting and feeding device 2 in sequence.

[0073] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 , during the transmission process, specifically including the following steps:

[0074] A1: The loading device 1 first releases the blocking effect of the blocking mechanism 13 on the lowermost material box;

[0075] A2: Multiple first feeding mechanisms 11 sequentially transfer the lowest bin to the first lifting and feeding device 2. In this embodiment, the loading device 1 includes a second frame 12, on which multiple first feeding mechanisms 11 are vertically spaced. Each first feeding mechanism 11 includes two first feeding assemblies 111, which are symmetrically located on opposite sides of the second frame 12.

[0076] A3: After the lowest material box is conveyed away, the blocking mechanism 13 resumes its blocking function on the remaining material boxes, thereby ensuring that only one material box is conveyed to the first lifting and feeding device 2 at a time.

[0077] When one of the boxes is successfully transferred, the blocking mechanism 13 will resume its blocking effect on the other boxes to ensure that only one box is transferred at a time, thereby maintaining the accuracy and orderliness of the transfer.

[0078] Step 4: After receiving the material box, the first lifting feeding device drives the lifting seat up and down through its lifting drive mechanism. When the height of the lifting seat is equal to the height of the feeding device, the first lifting feeding device transfers the material box to the feeding device. Subsequently, the feeding device transfers the material box to the top feeding mechanism of the horizontal feeding device, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , specifically including the following steps:

[0079] B1: The lifting drive mechanism of the first lifting feeding device drives the lifting seat to move up and down, and the lifting seat drives the material box to move up and down;

[0080] B2: When the height of the lifting seat is equal to the height of one of the first feeding mechanisms, the first feeding mechanism delivers the material box containing the shoe uppers to the lifting seat;

[0081] B3: When the height of the lifting seat is lifted to the same height as the top feeding mechanism of the horizontal feeding device, the material box is transferred to the top feeding mechanism through the first lifting feeding device.

[0082] Step 5: The top feeding mechanism 32 starts to convey the material box. During the conveying process, the screening device 6 screens the material box on the horizontal feeding device 3.

[0083] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the specific steps of the screening device 6 are:

[0084] C1: A screening device 6 is provided, which includes a material distribution mechanism 61 and a rotary drive mechanism 62. The material distribution mechanism 61 includes a material distribution rod 611 and a first rotating shaft 612. The first rotating shaft 612 extends in a vertical direction and is rotatably connected to the first frame 31. The top end of the first rotating shaft 612 is fixedly connected to one end of the material distribution rod 611. The material distribution rod 611 extends in a horizontal direction. The initial position of the material distribution rod 611 is located at the edge of the first frame 31. At this time, the material distribution rod 611 has no blocking effect on the material box on the top feeding mechanism.

[0085] C2: The first rotating shaft 612 is driven to rotate by the rotary drive mechanism 62, thereby driving the feed bar 611 to rotate to an inclined state. At this time, the feed bar 611 forms a certain angle with the edge of the first frame 31, and the material box is conveyed toward either side of the first frame 31 under the guidance of the feed bar 611;

[0086] C3: When the material box on the top feeding mechanism needs to be transferred to the processing device 5, the first rotating shaft 612 is driven to rotate by the rotary drive mechanism 62, so that the material distribution rod 611 rotates to an inclined state;

[0087] C4: After the transfer is completed, the first rotating shaft 612 is continuously driven to rotate by the rotary drive mechanism 62, so that the dividing rod 611 rotates to the initial position, thereby releasing the blocking effect of the dividing rod 611 on the material box.

[0088] Step 6: The staff manually moves the material box on the first transfer device 7 to the second transfer device 8 to prepare for subsequent processing.

[0089] Step 7: At the second transfer device 8, the staff manually transports the shoe uppers in the material box to the processing device 5 for processing. The processing device 5 performs precise processing operations on the shoe uppers according to a preset program.

[0090] Step 8: After processing is complete, the staff returns the bins containing the processed uppers to the bottom feeding mechanism 33. The bottom feeding mechanism 33 receives the bins and transfers them to the first lifting and feeding device 2 for the next round of loading, conveying, and processing. The bottom feeding mechanism 33 also transfers some bins to the quality inspection and receiving device 10.

[0091] Step 9: Repeat steps 1 to 8 to achieve continuous automated production of shoe uppers. The above intelligent shoe upper production method can significantly improve the automation level and production efficiency of shoe upper production, reduce production costs, and ensure the stability and consistency of product quality.

[0092] The implementation principle of this embodiment 1 is as follows: the material boxes are stored and sequentially transferred to the first lifting and feeding device 2 by the loading device 1, and then the material boxes are lifted and transferred to the top feeding mechanism 32 of the horizontal feeding device 3 by the first lifting and feeding device 2; the top feeding mechanism 32 sequentially transfers most of the material boxes to multiple processing devices 5 for shoe material processing; after the processing device 5 completes the shoe material processing, the staff puts the shoe material in the material box, and then pushes the material box to the bottom feeding mechanism 33; at the same time, the top feeding mechanism 32 sequentially transfers a small number of unprocessed material boxes to the second lifting and feeding device 5. At 4, the second lifting device sequentially transfers the multiple material boxes to the bottom feeding mechanism 33; finally, all the material boxes are returned to the first lifting feeding device 2 through the bottom feeding mechanism 33, and then the first lifting feeding device 2 sequentially transfers the multiple material boxes to the top feeding mechanism 32, which are then transferred to multiple processing devices 5 again by the top feeding mechanism 32, thereby facilitating repeated processing of the shoe materials, forming a circular material distribution system, and realizing efficient and automated distribution of shoe materials; through the combination of automated and intelligent equipment, a complete shoe upper material box circular material distribution system is formed. This system not only significantly improves the efficiency of shoe upper production material distribution, but also optimizes the production process and reduces the waste of human resources. Through real-time data monitoring and intelligent material distribution mechanisms, the management of the production line becomes more convenient, and the statistics of production data become more accurate; in addition, the system also has high flexibility and scalability, and can be quickly adjusted and optimized according to production needs.

The AGV transfer robots 10 are used to automatically transport empty loading devices 1 at the production line to the loading platform. The AGV transfer robots 10 are also used to automatically transport fully loaded loading devices 1 to the loading end of the production line. The AGV transport robot 10 can quickly and accurately complete the transport task of the loading device 1 between the material delivery platform and the production line, reducing the time and labor cost of manual handling, thereby greatly improving production efficiency; traditional production lines require multiple people to perform loading, handling and other operations, and the introduction of the AGV transport robot 10 can replace these repetitive and heavy labors, and only one person is needed to simultaneously load multiple production lines, reducing labor costs; the AGV transport robot 10 works according to preset programs, and its error rate is lower than that of manual operation, which can ensure that the loading device 1 is transported to the production line at the right time and in the right place, thereby improving production quality; the AGV transport robot 10 can adjust the transport route and frequency at any time as needed to adapt to production The different needs of the production line are met, which enhances the flexibility of production; through the automated transportation of the AGV transport robot 10, unnecessary material accumulation on the production line can be reduced, the spatial layout of the production line can be optimized, and the space utilization rate can be improved; when heavy objects need to be transported or in high-risk environments, the AGV transport robot 10 can replace manual operation, reducing the risk of worker injury and improving production safety; the use of the AGV transport robot 10 frees workers from heavy transportation work and allows them to focus on more valuable work, thereby improving the workers' working environment and work experience; the AGV transport robot 10 is usually equipped with an advanced control system and remote monitoring function, which enables managers to understand the robot's working status in real time, perform remote control and troubleshooting, and reduce the difficulty of management and maintenance.
