[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, people's quality requirements for shoes are also getting higher and higher. Shoes will bend to some extent when walking, so the quality of shoe products is closely related to their folding resistance. During the process of wearing and using shoes, the most bent part of the shoe is the front part of the shoe. Therefore, the prior art designs a shoe product folding resistance test device. The folding resistance test device in the prior art only has a whole swing pedal, and the front part of the whole shoe is completely supported on the swing pedal and moves synchronously under the pressure of the whole swing pedal. However, the bending stress of the shoe in actual use is more complex, and the inside of the shoe will also be stressed by the foot. When the heel of the shoe is simply fixed, the internal stress of the shoe cannot be tested, resulting in inaccurate folding resistance test. Therefore, a shoe product folding resistance test device is needed. SUMMARY
[0003] To solve the problems of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a shoe product folding resistance test device and method thereof.
[0004] To achieve the above technical purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present application is as follows.

The base is provided with a supporting table for supporting the upper conveying belt surface of the conveying belt. The bottom of the bearing plate is provided with a lifting assembly, and the bottom of the lifting assembly is provided with a support column. The pressing mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the support column, and the bending mechanism is arranged on the surface of the support plate. The conveying belt surface is provided with a limiting block. When the shoe is conveyed by the conveying belt, the heel of the shoe contacts the limiting block. The pressing mechanism comprises a pressing shell and a pressing head. The pressing shell is rotatably installed at the bottom of the support column, and the pressing head is installed at the bottom of the pressing shell. The lifting assembly drives the pressing mechanism to move downward, so that the pressing shell and the pressing head extend into the inside of the shoe. Then, the bending mechanism performs the bending test on the shoe.
[0007] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the bending mechanism includes a bearing frame, a bending plate, and a connecting plate. The bearing frame is located on one side of the support plate. The bending plate is rotatably installed in the bearing frame through the connecting plate. The bending plate is driven to rotate by a drive motor. In the initial state, the bending plate is horizontally arranged. A connecting sleeve is horizontally provided on the wall of the bearing frame. There are two connecting sleeves arranged in parallel. A connecting column is horizontally fixed on the surface of the support plate. The connecting column is sleeved in the connecting sleeve. A spring is sleeved on the connecting sleeve and the connecting column. One end of the spring is connected to the wall of the bearing frame, and the other end of the spring is connected to the surface of the support plate. A guide plate is vertically provided on one side of the support column. The bottom of the guide plate is inclined, and the bottom inclined surface of the guide plate contacts the top edge of the bearing frame.
[0008] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a mounting plate one is provided at the bottom of the support column, and a mounting plate two is provided at the top of the pressing housing. The mounting plate two and the mounting plate one are rotatably connected by a connecting component.

In the initial state, the pressing housing and the support column form an obtuse angle.
[0009] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the connecting assembly includes a rotating shaft, a gear, a first support plate, a second support plate, a guide rod, and a rack. The first and second support plates are mounted on the surface of the first mounting plate. The guide rod is located between the first and second support plates. There are two guide rods arranged in parallel. The second mounting plate is rotatably connected to the first mounting plate via the rotating shaft. The gear is coaxially fixedly sleeved on the end of the rotating shaft. The rack is sleeved on the guide rod via a sliding sleeve. The gear and the rack mesh. A second spring is sleeved on the guide rod. One end of the second spring contacts the first support plate, and the other end of the second spring contacts the sliding sleeve. In the initial state, the end of the rack contacts the second support plate.
[0010] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a fan is provided on the wall of the support frame, and an exhaust pipe is connected to the wall of the pressing shell. The exhaust pipe is connected to the fan, and an exhaust column head is connected to the side wall of the pressing shell. An exhaust channel is opened on the exhaust column head.

[0012] As a further improvement to this technical solution, an image sensor is provided on the top of the support frame.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the progress and advantages of this invention are as follows: during the use of this invention, when conducting a flexural durability test on shoes, the shoes are conveyed by a conveyor belt to the area directly below the pressing mechanism. Then, the lifting component drives the pressing mechanism to move downward, thereby allowing the pressing housing and pressing head to extend into the shoe. The pressing head contacts the bottom of the shoe, and the pressing housing deflects, thereby making the pressing housing horizontal and contacting the bottom of the shoe, thus providing stable pressing for the shoe.
[0014] When the lifting assembly drives the support column and guide plate to move down, the bottom slope of the guide plate abuts against the top edge of the load-bearing frame, thereby driving the load-bearing frame to move closer to the shoe. Then the bending plate moves to the bottom of the front of the shoe, and then the drive motor drives the bending plate to reciprocate, thereby reciprocatingly bending the front of the shoe.
[0015] During the shoe bending experiment, the fan operates to supply air to the pressing shell, and then the air is discharged through the exhaust column head, thereby ventilating the inside of the shoe. The exhaust port of exhaust pipe two is directed towards the bending surface of the shoe, thereby blowing air to cool the shoe during the bending process, thus avoiding inaccurate experimental results due to excessively high experimental temperature. The changes in the bending surface of the shoe can be easily observed through the image sensor. Attached Figure Description

[0033] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the flexural strength testing device for footwear products includes:
[0034] The system comprises a base 10, a conveyor belt 110, a bearing plate 120, a support plate 130, a pressing mechanism 20, and a bending mechanism 30. The conveyor belt 110, bearing plate 120, and support plate 130 are mounted on the base 10. The bearing plate 120 is positioned above the conveyor belt 110, and the support plate 130 is close to the conveyor belt 110. The base 10 has a support platform for supporting the upper conveyor belt surface of the conveyor belt 110.

A guide plate 160 is vertically arranged on one side of the support column 150. The bottom of the guide plate 160 is inclined and the bottom slope of the guide plate 160 contacts the top edge of the support frame 310. When the lifting component 140 drives the support column 150 and the guide plate 160 to move down, the bottom slope of the guide plate 160 abuts against the top edge of the support frame 310, thereby driving the support frame 310 to move closer to the shoe. Then the bending plate 330 moves to the bottom of the front end of the shoe. Then the drive motor drives the bending plate 330 to reciprocate and deflect, thereby performing a bending test on the front end of the shoe.
[0036] like Figures 6-8 As shown, a mounting plate 151 is provided at the bottom of the support column 150, and a mounting plate 152 is provided at the top of the pressing housing 210. The mounting plate 152 and the mounting plate 151 are rotatably connected by a connecting assembly 230. A mounting column 212 is provided at the bottom of the pressing housing 210, and a connecting frame 213 is provided at the bottom of the mounting column 212. The pressing head 220 is connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 213, and the pressing head 220 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 213. In the initial state, the pressing housing 210 and the support column 150 form an obtuse angle.
[0037] More specifically, the connecting assembly 230 includes a rotating shaft 231, a gear 232, a first support plate 233, a second support plate 234, a guide rod 235, and a rack 236. The first support plate 233 and the second support plate 234 are disposed on the surface of the first mounting plate 151. The guide rod 235 is disposed between the first support plate 233 and the second support plate 234. There are two guide rods 235 arranged in parallel. The second mounting plate 152 is rotatably connected to the first mounting plate 151 through the rotating shaft 231. The gear 232 is coaxially fixedly sleeved on the end of the rotating shaft 231. The rack 236 is sleeved on the guide rod 235 through a sliding sleeve. The gear 232 and the rack 236 mesh. A second spring is sleeved on the guide rod 235. One end of the second spring contacts the first support plate 233, and the other end of the second spring contacts the sliding sleeve. In the initial state, the end of the rack 236 contacts the second support plate 234.
[0038] like Figures 3-6As shown, a fan 320 is installed on the wall of the support frame 310, and an exhaust pipe 321 is connected to the wall of the pressing shell 210. The exhaust pipe 321 is connected to the fan 320. An exhaust column head 211 is connected to the side wall of the pressing shell 210. An exhaust channel is opened on the exhaust column head 211. During the bending test of the shoe, the fan 320 works and can supply air to the pressing shell 210. Then the air is discharged through the exhaust column head 211, thereby ventilating the inside of the shoe.
[0039] More specifically, the wall of exhaust pipe 321 is connected to exhaust pipe 322, and the exhaust port of exhaust pipe 322 faces the bending surface of the shoe, so as to blow air to cool down the shoe during the bending process, thereby avoiding the experimental temperature from being too high and causing inaccurate experimental results.
[0040] More specifically, an image sensor 350 is provided on the top of the support frame 310, which facilitates the observation of changes in the bending surface of the shoe.
[0041] Working principle:
[0042] In the process of using this invention, when conducting a flexural durability test on shoes, the shoes are conveyed by the conveyor belt 110 to a position directly below the pressing mechanism 20. Then, the lifting assembly 140 drives the pressing mechanism 20 downwards, causing the pressing housing 210 and the pressing head 220 to extend into the shoe. The pressing head 220 contacts the bottom of the shoe, and the pressing housing 210 deflects, thus making it horizontal and contacting the bottom of the shoe, thereby providing stable pressure on the shoe. When the lifting assembly 140 drives the support column 150 and the guide plate 160 downwards, the bottom slope of the guide plate 160 contacts the top edge of the support frame 310, thereby driving the support frame... 310 moves towards the shoe, then the bending plate 330 moves to the bottom of the front of the shoe, and then the drive motor drives the bending plate 330 to reciprocate, thereby reciprocating the bending of the front of the shoe. During the bending experiment, the fan 320 works to supply air to the pressing shell 210, and then the air is discharged through the exhaust column head 211, thereby ventilating the inside of the shoe. The exhaust port of the exhaust pipe 322 faces the bending surface of the shoe, thereby blowing air to cool the shoe during the bending process, thus avoiding the experimental temperature from being too high and causing inaccurate experimental results. The image sensor 350 facilitates the observation of changes in the bending surface of the shoe.
[0043] It should be stated that the above-described specific embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, equivalent substitutions, and variations can be made to the present invention. However, such variations, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of the present invention, should be within the scope of protection of the present invention. Furthermore, some terminology used in this specification and claims is not limiting, but merely for ease of description.
