Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to shoe-making equipment, in particular to a shoe feeder. Background Art

[0002] Existing soles are usually formed by injection molding using a mold, and the injection molding step requires the use of a disc machine, which is also called an injection disc machine. Its working principle is that after the plastic particles are heated and plasticized by the injection molding machine, the molten plastic is injected into the mold cavity through a screw to form the sole.

[0003] In order to improve the processing efficiency of the disc machine, the existing disc machine will increase the processing efficiency of the disc machine by increasing the number of molds. The number of molds on the existing multi-station disc machines on the market may even be as many as 20 to 30 pairs. The sole will inevitably produce flash during the molding process, so the first process after the sole is taken out of the mold is to manually remove the flash, and the removed flash can be re-converted into flash particles after crushing for recycling. The processing operation of the existing disc machine flash is to place a collection bucket for collecting flash next to each worker. When the collection bucket is full of flash, the flash is manually poured into a large collection bucket; when a certain amount of flash is collected, it is uniformly poured into the crusher for crushing. This method will cause workers to waste a certain amount of working time in the flash processing process, and when one of the workers performs the flash dumping operation, it will affect the rotation processing of the entire disc machine assembly line, thereby affecting the rest of the workers, thereby increasing the workload of the workers, thereby reducing the production efficiency of the sole. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a shoe feeder, which can realize the recovery and feeding of flash on a disc machine, thereby reducing the workload of workers, reducing the impact of flash processing operations on the disc machine, and improving the production efficiency of soles.

[0005] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions: a shoe feeder, comprising: a storage mechanism, which is arranged to be placed one by one in correspondence with the workers' operating stations and is used to store the removed flash; a transmission mechanism, which is arranged to transport reciprocally along the arrangement path of the storage mechanism; a collecting mechanism, which is arranged to be transmitted by the transmission mechanism and can receive the flash output from the storage mechanism; a first linkage mechanism, which is arranged to constitute a linkage between each storage mechanism and the collecting mechanism so that the flash in the storage mechanism can enter the collecting mechanism; a storage bucket, which is arranged to store flash; a second linkage mechanism, which is arranged to constitute a linkage between the collecting mechanism and the storage bucket so that the flash in the collecting mechanism can enter the storage bucket; a crusher, which is arranged to crush the flash; a first transmission member, which is arranged to transmit the flash in the storage bucket into the crusher; a second transmission member, which is arranged to transmit the flash particles crushed by the crusher into the injection molding machine feed bucket on the disc machine.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a storage mechanism is set up beside the worker's operating station to store the flash removed by the worker. When the storage mechanism stores a certain amount of flash, the collection mechanism is driven to move by the transmission mechanism, and the collection mechanism is transmitted through each storage mechanism under the action of the transmission mechanism, and is linked with each storage mechanism under the action of the first linkage mechanism, so that the flash in the storage mechanism can enter the collection mechanism for centralized collection. After the collection mechanism collects a certain amount of flash, the collection mechanism is transmitted through the storage bucket under the action of the transmission mechanism and is linked with the storage bucket under the action of the second linkage mechanism, so as to transmit the flash in the collection mechanism into the storage bucket. Then, the flash in the storage bucket is transmitted to the crusher through the first transmission member, and then the crushed flash particles are transmitted to the injection molding machine feed bucket on the disc machine through the second transmission member, so as to realize the recycling and reuse of waste edges. The above structure can reduce the workload of workers, reduce the impact of flash processing operations on the disc machine, and improve the production efficiency of the sole.

[0007] It is further configured as follows: the collecting mechanism includes a collecting seat, a collecting bucket rotatably disposed on the collecting seat and having an opening, and a side plate disposed on the collecting seat and located on one side of the rotation direction of the collecting bucket, the collecting bucket abuts against the side plate to form a stable transmission state, and when the collecting bucket is in the transmission state, the center of gravity of the collecting bucket is located on the side of the rotating connection of the collecting bucket close to the side plate.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the collecting bucket is against the side plate so that the center of gravity of the collecting bucket is close to one side of the side plate to present a stable transmission state, thereby ensuring that the collecting bucket can stably receive the flash input from the storage mechanism and ensure the stability of the flash transmission.

[0009] The further configuration is as follows: the second linkage mechanism includes a second linkage rod arranged on one side of the rotation direction of the collecting barrel and the second linkage rod is located at the rotating connection of the collecting barrel close to the side plate, a second trigger rod arranged at the rotating connection of the collecting barrel and on the side of the opposite side plate, a reset counterweight block arranged on the second linkage rod, and a second driving member that drives the second trigger rod to reciprocate in a horizontal direction toward the second linkage rod and triggers the collecting barrel to drive the opposite side plate of the collecting barrel to rotate to a dumping state, and the reset counterweight block drives the collecting barrel to switch from the dumping state to the transmission state.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the reset counterweight block can increase the weight of the collecting bucket close to the side plate, thereby further improving the stability of the collecting bucket in the transmission state, and improving the reliability and feasibility of the structure. When the collecting bucket is transferred to the position corresponding to the storage bucket, the second driving member drives the second trigger rod to move toward the second linkage rod, and the second trigger rod is used to push against the collecting bucket to drive the opposite side plate of the collecting bucket to rotate, so as to pour the flash in the collecting bucket into the storage bucket. Since the weight of the collecting bucket is reduced, the collecting bucket can be reset and rotated to the transmission state under the action of the reset counterweight block, thereby forming a linkage between the collecting bucket and the storage bucket.

[0011] It is further configured as follows: the storage mechanism includes a storage rack, a storage bucket arranged on the storage rack and having a feed inlet and a discharge outlet, a detachable fixing component for fixing the storage rack, and a cover movably arranged on the discharge outlet.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the storage rack is fixed to the frame of the disc machine through a fixing component, and the structure is set to be detachable, so that the number of storage mechanisms can be adjusted accordingly according to the number of processing workers in each factory, the production and processing requirements, and the model of the disc machine; when the processing efficiency needs to be changed, the number of storage mechanisms can be appropriately adjusted, thereby improving the practicality and adaptability of the structure and reducing the occupation of unnecessary factory space. The flash generated by processing is stored in the storage barrel to achieve the purpose of temporary storage.

[0013] It is further configured as follows: the cover is rotatably arranged in the storage barrel by a rotating shaft and the cover rotates with the rotating shaft, the first linkage mechanism includes a rotating wheel rotating with the rotating shaft, a first linkage rod arranged at an eccentric position of the rotating wheel, a first trigger rod that moves with the collecting mechanism and can trigger the first linkage rod, and a reset spring for resetting the cover to close the discharge port, and the movement paths of the first linkage rod and the first trigger rod intersect to trigger the eccentric rotation of the first linkage rod.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover closes the discharge port under the action of the reset spring to realize the temporary storage function of the storage bucket for the flash. The first trigger rod moves toward the first linkage rod along with the collection mechanism. When the first trigger rod abuts against the first linkage rod, the first linkage rod is triggered to rotate eccentrically under the action of the rotating wheel to open the cover to realize the discharge of the storage bucket; and because the eccentric rotation of the first linkage rod can be gradually separated from the first trigger rod, the structure will not interfere with the normal movement of the collection mechanism, and the structure is simple and reliable.

[0015] It is further configured as follows: the fixing assembly includes a slot formed on the storage rack and having an opening, and a locking bolt threadedly connected to the storage rack and with one end extending into the slot, and the axis of the locking bolt is perpendicular to the opening of the slot.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the slot is inserted into the frame of the disc machine and cooperates with the provided locking bolts to realize the fastening of the storage rack and the disc machine frame, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly and has low production cost.

[0017] It is further configured as follows: the transmission mechanism includes a transmission turntable, a large internal tooth that rotates with the transmission turntable, a transmission gear meshing with the large internal tooth, and a driving motor that drives the transmission gear to rotate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving motor drives the transmission gear to rotate, and then the transmission gear and the large internal gear cooperate to drive the transmission turntable to rotate to realize the transmission function. And the structure of the transmission turntable can better adapt to the movement path of the disc machine, so as to better adapt to the operating position of each worker.

[0019] It is further configured as follows: the first trigger rod includes a vertically arranged toggle section and a lifting section connected to the upper end of the toggle section, and the lifting section is gradually inclined upward along the movement direction of the first trigger rod facing away from the first trigger rod toward the first linkage rod.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the toggle section drives the first linkage rod to rotate eccentrically. During the eccentric rotation, the two gradually move away from each other and form contact between the lifting section and the first linkage rod, which further drives the first linkage rod to rotate eccentrically, thereby increasing the opening of the cover and achieving better discharge.

[0021] It is further configured as follows: a lifting plate for lifting the collecting bucket is rotatably provided on one side of the storage bucket close to the collecting bucket, and an action spring for driving the collecting bucket to rotate away from the storage bucket is connected between the lifting plate and the storage bucket; when the action spring is in a state of no force, the lifting plate is tilted away from the collecting bucket.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the collection barrel rotates from the transmission state to the dumping state and squeezes the lifting plate to shrink the action spring, thereby completing the dumping function of the flash inside the collection barrel. After the dumping operation is completed, the action spring drives the lifting plate to lift the collection barrel and cooperates with the reset counterweight block to achieve a better reset of the collection barrel, avoiding the collection barrel being unable to reset due to excessive rotation stroke, thereby improving the reliability and feasibility of the structure.

[0023] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the present invention can realize the recovery and feeding of flash on the disc machine, thereby reducing the workload of workers, reducing the impact of flash processing operations on the disc machine, and improving the production efficiency of the sole.
