Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of shoemaking, and in particular relates to a special shoe outsole for a nail making factory and a production method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The design of puncture-proof safety shoes must meet certain national standards, for example, the puncture-proof force must be greater than 1100N to ensure that they can provide adequate protection in actual use. The puncture-proof safety shoes mainly rely on adding puncture-proof midsoles or steel sheets to the midsole above the sole. These materials can effectively prevent punctures from sharp objects, thereby protecting the feet from injury. Common materials include steel plates and Kevlar midsoles, such as Figure 1 As shown, in general, the outsole structure of safety shoes is a rubber outsole + a middle foam layer + a puncture-resistant midsole. The puncture-resistant midsole is at the top of the outsole structure and is closest to the sole of the foot. Although it protects the safety of the foot, the high hardness and strong toughness of the puncture-resistant outsole make the wearing comfort of the safety shoes poor.

[0003] In order to improve the wearing comfort of safety shoes, the prior art with application number 201310399986.X adjusts the puncture-resistant midsole between the rubber outsole and the foaming layer. The puncture-resistant midsole used in the prior art is a high-strength polyester fiber compact fabric. When the inventor uses the Kevlar puncture-resistant layer to make the outsole structure of safety shoes according to the method disclosed by the inventor, it is found that the semi-finished sole after the rubber outsole and the Kevlar puncture-resistant layer are integrally vulcanized will be deformed. Figure 2 , affecting further molding and sole quality. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the problem that the semi-finished shoe sole may be deformed after the rubber outsole and the Kevlar anti-puncture midsole are integrally vulcanized, the present invention provides a special shoe outsole for a nail manufacturing factory and a production method thereof.

[0005] The objective of the present invention is achieved in the following manner: comprising a foam midsole and a rubber outsole, a Kevlar puncture-resistant layer is arranged between the foam midsole and the rubber outsole, a layer of heat-insulating cotton is bonded to the upper surface and / or the lower surface of the Kevlar puncture-resistant layer, the thickness of the rubber outsole is 3-5 mm, the thickness of the Kevlar puncture-resistant layer is 2.3-3.0 mm, the thickness of the heat-insulating cotton is 0.5-1.0 mm, and the thickness of the foam midsole is 5-8 mm.

[0006] When the foam midsole is made of EVA elastic material, a layer of heat insulation cotton is bonded to the upper and lower surfaces of the Kevlar anti-puncture layer.

[0007] When the foam midsole is made of PU elastic material, a layer of heat-insulating cotton is bonded to the lower surface of the Kevlar anti-puncture layer.

[0008] The thermal insulation wool is GMF thermal insulation wool.

[0009] The production method of the above-mentioned sole structure for shoes specially used in nail making factories comprises the following steps: (1) According to the use requirements of the rubber outsole, a rubber outsole compound is kneaded, and the mixed rubber is cut into outsole rubber sheets according to the shape of the mold for standby use; (2) Cut the Kevlar anti-puncture layer and the heat-insulating cotton according to the size of the outsole, glue them together and set them aside; (3) Adjust the vulcanization parameters, the vulcanization temperature is 160±5℃, and the time is 400±10s; (4) After the vulcanization parameters meet the requirements of step (3), the vulcanization mold is opened, the cut outsole rubber sheet is placed in the mold, and the material bonded and formed in step (2) is placed on top of the outsole rubber sheet, and the mold is closed. Through the rubber cross-linking reaction, the one-piece molding vulcanization process is completed; (5) The semi-finished outsole after vulcanization molding is taken out, placed in a mold, injected with PU elastic material, molded, and naturally cooled to form a shoe outsole structure specially used in a nail factory; or, the semi-finished outsole is placed in a mold, a foamed EVA blank is placed on top of the outsole, the mold is closed, heated and pressurized, the EVA foam is bonded to the semi-finished outsole, and then water-cooled to form a shoe outsole structure specially used in a nail factory.

[0010] The foamed EVA blank is prepared according to the use requirements of the EVA foamed midsole. The required raw materials are put into an internal mixer to prepare a foamed EVA base material, which is then granulated and foamed once in an EVA midsole mold at 175-185°C to form a foamed EVA blank, which is then cooled for use.

[0011] The size of the Kevlar anti-puncture layer and the thermal insulation cotton is 3-4mm smaller than the rubber outsole.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention adheres a layer of heat-insulating cotton to the lower surface and / or the lower surface of the Kevlar anti-puncture layer to form a Kevlar anti-puncture layer with heat-insulating effect, and then vulcanizes it with the rubber outsole to form a semi-finished outsole, and then connects the semi-finished outsole with the foaming layer to form a special outsole for nail factories. This new outsole structure is applied to safety shoes, which overcomes the discomfort caused by the hardness and toughness of the sole of the foot in the original structure, greatly improves the comfort of safety shoes, and also has a good anti-puncture effect. The production method is simple, easy to operate, and highly practical. It is suitable for mass production and has good market prospects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
