Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of injection molding auxiliary tool structures for rubber shoes, and more specifically to an injection molding auxiliary tool for rubber shoes. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of modern science and technology, footwear manufacturing technology has been continuously innovated, and footwear products have made significant progress in terms of quality, production efficiency, and functionality. However, current footwear products still need improvement in terms of comfort, particularly in traditional safety shoes and snowboard boots, where some issues remain.

[0003] For example, in the production process of conventional injection molded shoes, soft uppers are prone to large deformation, which may cause the mold to clamp the upper and tear it. It may also cause gaps in the mold closing, resulting in overflow of injection plastic, which may spill into other areas of the upper and contaminate it, leading to substandard product quality.

[0004] In addition, the existing manufacturing process for safety shoes is complicated, requiring the installation of toe caps and the shaping of the upper. The upper needs to be removed twice, which can cause changes in the shoe cavity and make the wearer feel uncomfortable. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an injection molding auxiliary tool for rubber shoes. This tool includes a shoe last, shoe body, toe cap, molding sleeve, auxiliary components, and sole, wherein: The shoe last is used to position the shoe body and includes a positioning groove for accommodating the edge of the sole for positioning. The shoe body includes a midsole and an upper, with the midsole fused to the upper via injection molding. The toe box is located at the front of the shoe body and includes a toe cap and a toe guard, with the toe cap fused to the toe guard via injection molding. A shaping sleeve is mounted on an auxiliary component for shaping the toe box and includes a shaping cavity that fits into the toe cap. The auxiliary component includes a first toe cavity and a second toe cavity, with the first toe cavity fitting into the toe cap and the second toe cavity fitting into the shaping sleeve, and the first toe cavity being smaller than the second toe cavity. The sole is located within the positioning groove and includes a bottom and a side, with the bottom fused to the side via injection molding.

[0006] The inner cavity of the shaping sleeve has the same curvature as the outer toe piece, and the shape fits the sleeve perfectly. The shaping sleeve and the auxiliary parts are made of mold steel. The first toe cavity and the second toe cavity are located at both ends of the auxiliary parts. The bottom of the sole is provided with an injection molding process hole, and an injection molding connection fixing pin is provided on the injection molding process hole to ensure the integrity of the molding process.

[0007] The auxiliary component also includes an air extraction hole structure, which communicates with the molding cavity and is used to extract the foaming gas in the closed cavity during the injection molding process to improve the injection molding quality; the outer surface of the molding sleeve is provided with a textured groove or textured protrusion structure to form graphic patterns on the side of the sole and the toe of the shoe, adding design elements.

[0008] The upper flange and the closed flange of the shaping sleeve extend toward the surface of the shoe upper and adapt to the contour curve of the shoe upper surface, forming a sealed and fitted structural design with the shoe upper surface. The upper flange and the closed flange are designed with high precision so that the gap between the shaping cavity and the shoe upper surface is controlled within 0.1 mm, effectively controlling the overflow of molten liquid and avoiding the generation of a large amount of shoe sole flash.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the injection molding auxiliary tool for rubber shoes of the present invention are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an injection molding auxiliary tool for rubber shoes, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. By setting a first toe cavity and a second toe cavity on the auxiliary part, and making the second toe cavity fit with the shaping sleeve, the problem of the shoe upper being pinched or gaps appearing during the injection molding process is effectively prevented, the defect of injection plastic overflowing and contaminating the shoe upper is avoided, and the product quality is significantly improved. 2. The inner cavity of the shaping sleeve of the present invention has the same curvature as the toe of the shoe and fits the shape perfectly, which effectively solves the problem of the cumbersome manufacturing process of traditional safety shoes and the need for the upper to be removed twice, thus simplifying the production process and improving production efficiency; 3. Through the combined design of auxiliary parts and shaping sleeves, the toe of the rubber shoes will not be deformed during the secondary glue injection, effectively controlling the deformation of the shoe upper, maintaining the smoothness of the inside of the shoe, and improving wearing comfort; 4. The first toe cavity and the second toe cavity of the present invention are distributed at both ends of the auxiliary component, and the design of the first toe cavity being smaller than the second toe cavity further enhances the fit between the shaping sleeve and the toe, and improves the molding quality and service life of the shoe; 5. The shaping sleeve and auxiliary parts of the present invention are made of mold steel, which has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, can be used for a long time, reduces the replacement frequency, and lowers production costs.
