Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of shoe sewing technology, in particular to a shoe sewing technology method. Background Art

[0002] Traditional footwear sewing processes mostly use manual or single-thread sewing machines combined with adhesive fixation, which has the following technical defects: 1. Insufficient structural stability: The stitches of single-thread sewing are prone to unraveling due to uneven tension or wear, and traditional adhesives are prone to brittleness after curing, and the bonding between the stitches and the adhesive layer is poor. After long-term use, the upper and lining are easy to peel off. 2. Low production efficiency: Manual sewing and gluing are time-consuming step-by-step operations, and the adhesive requires a long time to naturally cure, which is difficult to adapt to large-scale production needs. 3. Poor environmental protection: Solvent-based adhesives (such as chloroprene rubber) release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the production process and do not meet green manufacturing standards. Waterproof and comfort limitations: Conventional stitching lacks effective sealing, and rainwater can easily penetrate through pinholes; equal pressure molding is used when curing the sole and upper, resulting in local loose fit, affecting wearing comfort.

[0003] In recent years, some improved processes have tried to introduce ultrasonic welding or hot melt adhesive technology, but the following problems still exist: ultrasonic welding is only used for local fixation and does not form a synergistic enhancement effect with the sewing process; hot melt adhesive has insufficient permeability and is difficult to fill the gaps in the seams, resulting in limited improvement in waterproofness and bonding strength; the curing process parameters (such as pressure and temperature) are not differentiated for different parts of the shoe body (such as the toe and heel), which is prone to stress concentration or deformation. Based on this, it is urgent to develop an efficient, environmentally friendly shoe sewing process method that takes into account both structural strength and comfort. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a shoe sewing process method which is efficient, environmentally friendly and can take into account both structural strength and comfort, so as to overcome the defects of the prior art.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] The present invention provides a shoe sewing process method, comprising the following steps:

[0008] (2) Double-thread lockstitching: Use a double-needle sewing machine to double-thread lockstitch the edges of the upper and lining. The thread tension is controlled at 5-8N and the stitch length is 2-3mm;

[0009] (3) Hot melt adhesive bonding: Apply hot melt adhesive to the suture area and use infrared heating to make the adhesive penetrate into the suture gap;

[0010] (4) Pressurized curing: Use a molding device to apply a pressure of 0.5-1.2 MPa to the joint between the upper and the sole, and maintain the temperature at 80-100°C for 10-15 minutes;

[0011] (5) Post-processing: After cooling and shaping, trim the excess thread ends and apply waterproof coating.

[0012] Preferably, the double-thread lockstitching in step (2) is made of high-tenacity polyester blended thread with a thread diameter of 0.2-0.3 mm, and the inner and outer sutures are in a cross-mesh structure.

[0013] Preferably, the hot melt adhesive in step (3) is a polyurethane-based environmentally friendly adhesive with a melting temperature of 120-140° C. and a coating thickness of 0.1-0.3 mm.

[0014] Preferably, the molding equipment in step (4) is a segmented air pressure mold, and the pressure at the toe and heel area is 10%-15% higher than that at the middle area.

[0015] Preferably, the waterproof coating in step (5) is a fluorine-containing resin material, the spraying amount is 5-8g / double, and after curing, a micron-level hydrophobic film layer is formed.

[0016] Beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. Improved structural strength: Through the combination of double-thread lock stitching and hot melt adhesive penetration, the peel strength of the stitching area is increased by 40%-50%, effectively avoiding the problem of open thread.

[0018] 2. Comfort and durability: Segmented pressurized curing makes the sole and upper fit the foot shape better, while the hydrophobic coating extends the service life of the shoe.

[0019] 3. Optimization of production efficiency: Ultrasonic welding reduces the time of traditional adhesive fixing and shortens the overall process cycle by 25%-30%.

[0020] 4. Environmental protection: The use of solvent-free polyurethane adhesive and fluorine-containing resin coating reduces VOC emissions and meets green manufacturing standards. At the same time, the double-thread sewing process reduces the rework rate and the waste rate by 15%-20%. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
