Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of shoemaking technology, and more specifically, to a shoe last workbench. Background Technology

[0002] As the core mold in footwear manufacturing, the shoe last requires precise control of the balance between accuracy and efficiency in its processing. It involves many delicate steps, including design conception, material selection, mold making, molding, fine finishing, strict inspection, surface beautification, and final packaging.

[0003] In shoemaking, after the upper is completed, it needs to be fitted into a shoe last for shaping. In industrial processes, a lasting machine is usually used to stretch and fix the upper to the midsole plate, and then heat or pressure is applied to make the upper fit the shoe last. For example, when shaping the heel counter, the heel counter needs to be placed in a heated last mold (temperature of about 65-70℃) to soften it, so that the materials attached to it (such as leather, synthetic leather, etc.) can maintain their predetermined shape during the cooling process. This ensures a tight fit between the upper or sole and the shoe last, effectively avoiding dimensional deviations that may occur after molding.

[0004] Because the sole and upper are made of different materials, the suitable temperature and time are different, so heating is usually required in batches during the production process.

[0005] However, the functions of current shoe last processing tables on the market are relatively limited. Therefore, it is necessary to add heating and display functions according to actual usage needs, so that designers can operate more conveniently and efficiently. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a shoe last workbench, including a processing table 1 and a display rack 2, wherein the display rack 2 is provided with a circulating transfer mechanism 3 and a display seat 4, and the display seat 4 is provided in multiple sets and is arranged at equal intervals along the conveying direction of the circulating transfer mechanism 3. The circulating transfer mechanism 3 is used to drive the display stand 4 to move in a circular manner, and the movement includes at least the highest point and the lowest point. The display rack 2 is equipped with an upper heating mechanism 5, which is set directly opposite the highest point and is used to heat the shoe last at the highest point. The processing table 1 is equipped with a conveying mechanism 6. One end of the conveying mechanism 6 is equipped with a bottom heating mechanism 7, and the other end of the conveying mechanism 6 is located above the lowest point. When the circulating transfer mechanism 3 drives the display seat 4 to move from the lowest point to the highest point, the display seat 4 is used to transfer the shoe last from the conveying mechanism 6 to the display seat 4.

[0023] According to the design of this invention, after the operator performs shoe last processing at the workbench, the processed shoe last can be placed on the display seat 4. Since the circulating transfer mechanism 3 can drive the display seat 4 to move, a reasonable spatial arrangement can be made, which facilitates product placement.

[0024] When the upper and sole are initially formed, and both the bottom and top need to be shaped: the operator can place the corresponding shoe last components in the bottom heating mechanism 7, and first heat and shape the shoe last and sole position through the bottom heating mechanism 7; Subsequently, the object with the complete bottom heating is moved to the other end by the conveyor mechanism 6, and then transferred to the position of the upper heating mechanism 5 by the display stand 4. The upper heating mechanism 5 then heats the object. Therefore, this mechanism can automatically complete a series of operations such as bottom shaping, upper shaping, and product placement, improving operational efficiency and making operation more convenient.

[0025] When only the upper shaping operation is required, the shoe last assembly is placed at a position other than the lowest point, and the circulating transfer mechanism 3 directly transports it to the upper heating mechanism 5.

[0026] When only the bottom shaping operation is required, the shoe last assembly is placed in the bottom heating mechanism 7, and then the shoe last assembly is transferred to the display stand 4 by the conveying mechanism 6 and the circulating transfer mechanism 3.

[0027] The present invention is further configured such that: the circulating transfer mechanism 3 includes a sprocket 31, a chain 32, a control motor 33 and a control component 34, and the sprocket 31 is provided in two sets and arranged vertically; The chain 32 is wound around the two sprockets 31, and the display bases 4 are all mounted on the chain 32. The control motor 33 is used to drive one of the sprockets 31 to rotate. The control component 34 is provided in two sets, and is set one-to-one with the sprocket 31. The control component 34 is used to maintain the orientation of the display stand 4.

[0028] The structure is designed such that when the control motor 33 is started, it drives a sprocket 31 to rotate, which in turn drives the chain to move, thereby realizing the movement of the display stand 4.

[0029] The present invention is further configured such that: the control component 34 includes multiple sets of control blocks, a guide groove 341 is left between two adjacent control blocks, and a balance component 41 is provided on the display seat 4, the balance component 41 keeps the display seat 4 stable during the process of passing through the guide groove 341.

[0030] The present invention is further configured such that: the balancing component 41 includes a mounting plate 42, a balancing block 43, a guide block 44 and a connecting block 45, the connecting block 45 and the mounting plate 42 are respectively disposed on both sides of the balancing block 43, and multiple sets of guide blocks 44 are disposed. The guide blocks 44 are installed on the side of the mounting plate 42 facing away from the balancing block 43 and are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the guide groove 341. The balance block 43 is used to keep the angle of the connecting block 45 stable, and the connecting block 45 is connected to the display stand 4.

[0031] In this structural design, the control components 34 are respectively located at the positions of the sprockets 31. When the balancing component 41 passes through the guide groove 341, it can keep the angle of the connecting block 45 unchanged, thereby keeping the angle of the display base 4 unchanged. The specific operation is as follows: when the chain 32 moves to the position of the upper guide groove 341 or the lower guide groove 341, the guide block 44 can abut against the guide groove 341, thereby continuously correcting the positional change of the balancing block 43, achieving the effect of always keeping it horizontal.

[0032] The present invention is further configured such that: the conveying mechanism 6 includes a stopping platform 61, the stopping platform 61 is provided with multiple sets of through slots 611, the display seat 4 is arranged in a "mountain" shape, and during the process of the circulation transfer mechanism 3 driving the display seat 4 to move, the display seat 4 passes through the through slots 611 from bottom to top.

[0033] The design of this structure, with the slot 611 and the display stand 4 being precisely misaligned, allows the shoe last assembly to be transferred from the resting platform 61 to the display stand 4 as the display stand 4 passes through the resting platform 61, thus completing the object transfer operation. The present invention is further configured such that: the conveying mechanism 6 includes a first conveying section 62 and a second conveying section 63, the first conveying section 62 and the dwelling platform 61 are both arranged parallel to the processing table 1, the second conveying section 63 is arranged at an angle, one end of the second conveying section 63 is connected to the first conveying section 62, and the other end is connected to the dwelling platform 61.

[0034] The structure is designed to: 1. maintain the stability of the equipment during the first conveying section 62; 2. ensure that, due to the lack of a transmission mechanism in the resting platform 61, the shoe last assembly can be stably conveyed to the transfer area of ​​the resting platform 61 under the action of the inclined acceleration and the gravity of the shoe last assembly.

[0035] The present invention is further configured such that: the bottom heating mechanism 7 includes a heating plate 71 and a clamping cylinder 72, and two sets of heating plate 71 and clamping cylinder 72 are respectively provided and located on both sides of the first conveying section 62.

[0036] The design of this structure allows the clamping cylinder 72 to stably drive the heating plate 71 to move, thereby stably clamping the sole. Then, by applying electricity for heating, the heating and shaping requirements of the sole are met.

[0037] The present invention is further configured such that: multiple sets of bottom heating mechanisms 7 are provided and are arranged at equal intervals along the conveying direction of the first conveying section 62; the heating plate 71 is arranged in an L-shape; and a placement space for placing shoe lasts is formed between two heating plates 71 in the same row.

[0038] Since the position of the heating plate 71 can be changed by the extension of the clamping cylinder 72, the position of the front heating plate 71 can be changed to avoid obstructing the movement of the rear shoe last assembly. Therefore, multiple shoe last bodies can be heated on the bottom to improve heating efficiency, and then they can be automatically transferred.

[0039] The invention is further configured such that the upper heating mechanism 5 includes a heat insulation cover 51, a heater 52, and a lifting component 53. The lifting component 53 is used to move the heat insulation cover 51 and the heater 52 up and down, and the heater 52 is used to generate hot steam inside the heat insulation cover 51. With this design, when the shoe last assembly moves to its highest position, the circulating transfer mechanism 3 stops, and the upper heating mechanism 5 is activated. At this time, the lifting component 53 moves the heat insulation cover 51 down to cover the top of the shoe last assembly, and then releases hot steam through the heater 52 to achieve the heating and shaping effect.

[0040] Since the upper material is relatively soft, the temperature does not need to be too high; the insulation cover 51 only needs to provide a relatively stable temperature.

[0041] Furthermore, since the height of the upper part of the shoe varies, the height of the heat insulation cover 51 can be adjusted by the lifting component 53, so that the outlet of the heater 52 is aligned with the upper part of the shoe.

[0042] The invention is further configured such that: slots are provided on both sides of the heat insulation cover 51, and sealing plates are hinged to the slots; the design of this structure requires multiple up and down adjustments to the position of the heat insulation cover 51, and the shoe last assembly can be moved by pushing open the sealing plates to realize the operation of entering and exiting the cover.

[0043] Based on the above-mentioned entry and exit of the cover, the display stand 4 is provided with a clamping and limiting structure 8. The clamping and limiting structure 8 includes a first clamping plate 81, a second clamping plate 82 and a linkage rod 83. The linkage rod 83 is linked with the first clamping plate 81 and the second clamping plate 82. The linkage rod 83 is damped and rotatably connected to the bottom of the display base 4. The display base 4 is provided with a rotating rod 84, a rotating gear 85 and a drive rack 86. There are two sets of drive racks 86, which are respectively meshed with the two sides of the rotating gear 85. The two drive racks 86 are respectively connected to the first clamping plate 81 and the second clamping plate 82. The two ends of the rotating rod 84 are respectively connected to the linkage rod 83 and the rotating gear 85.

[0044] The structure is designed such that when the display stand 4 passes the resting platform 61 from bottom to top, the shoe last assembly can be transferred from the resting platform 61 to the display stand 4. When the display stand 4 passes through the through slot 611, the linkage rod 83 will abut against the lower end of the resting platform 61, thereby causing rotation.

[0045] At this time, the linkage 83 drives the rotating gear 85 to rotate via the rotating rod 84.

[0046] The two drive racks 86 are brought closer to each other, so that the first clamping plate 81 and the second clamping plate 82 at both ends can perform clamping operations on both sides of the shoe last assembly. The clamped shoe last assembly remains stable during the process of entering and exiting the cover.

[0047] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of the present invention's concept are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
