[0014] Figure 1AFigure 1 is a schematic diagram of a baking apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. The baking apparatus 100 comprises an oven 102, a moving unit 106, a moving unit 108, a moving unit 110, and a loading and unloading unit 104. The oven 102 is used to bake the objects to be heated to a suitable dryness level. The moving units 106, 108, 110 are used to move the objects to be heated into and out of the oven 102 in a forward direction or a reverse direction, where the forward direction is the direction of feeding the objects to be heated into the oven 102, and the reverse direction is the direction of feeding the objects to be heated out of the oven 102. Each of the moving units 106, 108, 110 comprises a slide rail having a platform with a gripper for holding the objects to be heated. Each of the moving units 106, 108, 110 comprises a driving motor for driving the slide rail to move the objects to be heated in the forward direction or the reverse direction.
[0015] In an embodiment, each of the moving units 106, 108, 110 comprises a sensor for detecting whether the gripper holds the objects to be heated. When the gripper holds the objects to be heated, the driving motor drives the slide rail to move so that the oven 102 can bake the objects to be heated. In an embodiment, the oven 102 has a heat insulation plate 112 and a heat insulation plate 114 for dividing the heating space inside the oven 102 into three heating spaces 116, 118, 120, where the moving unit 106 is located in the heating space 116, the moving unit 108 is located in the heating space 118, and the moving unit 110 is located in the heating space 120. The three heating spaces 116, 118, 120 are thermally insulated from each other. Each of the heating spaces can have one or more heating lamp tubes, and the temperature and the heating setting of the heating lamp tubes can be independent of each other and do not interfere with each other. In other words, the heating lamp tubes of each of the heating spaces can be independently adjusted as needed without affecting the heating of the other heating spaces. Therefore, the oven 102 can simultaneously heat three objects to be heated, and the heating processes are independently operated. The power and the heating time of the heating lamp tubes of the oven 102 can be set according to the heating process to achieve the required temperature of the heating spaces 116, 118, 120. In an embodiment, the wavelength of the heating lamp tubes can be infrared. In an embodiment, the number of the moving units can be N, and the number of the heat insulation plates of the oven 102 can be N-1, which divides the oven 102 into N heating spaces for heating N objects to be heated on the N moving units, where N is a positive integer greater than 1.
[0016] In one embodiment, the loading and unloading unit 104 is used to place the object to be heated on the moving unit 106, the moving unit 108 or the moving unit 110, and when the object to be heated is heated, the moving unit 106, the moving unit 108 or the moving unit 110 will send the object to be heated out of the oven 102, and the loading and unloading unit 104 will take the object to be heated off to proceed to the next manufacturing step. In one embodiment, the object to be heated is a shoe being manufactured. In one embodiment, the loading and unloading unit 104 is a robot arm, which has the function of placing and taking off the shoe, and also has the function of manufacturing the shoe, not limited to taking and placing the shoe. During the manufacturing process of the shoe, the robot arm (loading and unloading unit 104) is used to complete the processing, and the shoe is placed on the moving unit 106 after being coated with a processing agent. The moving unit 106 forwards the shoe to enter the oven 102 and then pauses in the oven 102 for a first heating time. In the heating space 116, a known first required temperature and a first heating time are set, and the shoe is heated by the heating lamp at this time. The other two heating spaces can also heat other shoes at the same time. The heating spaces are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other. The baking equipment 100 uses multiple moving units 106, 108 and 110 and multiple heating spaces 116, 118 and 120, so that the baking of multiple shoes can be carried out at the same time, thereby improving the manufacturing efficiency. When the shoe is heated (for example, baked at the first required temperature in the heating space 116 for the first heating time), the moving unit 106 reverses the direction of the shoe to leave the oven 102 and then pauses. Then the loading and unloading unit 104 takes off the shoe and coats the bottom of the shoe with glue, and then places the shoe on the moving unit 106. The moving unit 106 forwards the shoe to enter the oven 102 and then pauses in the oven 102 for a second heating time. In the heating space 116, a second required temperature and a second heating time are set, and the shoe is heated by the heating lamp at this time. When the shoe is heated (for example, baked at the second required temperature in the heating space 116 for the second heating time), the moving unit 106 reverses the direction of the shoe to leave the oven 102, and then the loading and unloading unit 104 takes off the shoe to proceed to the next manufacturing step. The first required temperature and the second required temperature can be the same or different, and the first heating time and the second heating time can be the same or different.
[0017] In one embodiment, during the baking process of the shoes by the oven 102, the moving unit 106, the moving unit 108 or the moving unit 110 can repeatedly move forward or backward in the respective heating space, so as to make the heating uniform and avoid the phenomenon that the front side or the back side of the shoes is dried to different degrees. During the baking process, the behaviors and settings of the loading and unloading unit 104, the moving unit 106, the moving unit 108, the moving unit 110 and the oven 102 can be controlled by a processing unit (processor). The processing unit can set the heating time and the required temperature corresponding to the shoes in advance, so as to operate the heating lamp in the oven. The heating lamps in each heating space operate independently and do not interfere with each other, so that the oven 102 can be more effectively used to bake the shoes in processing.
[0018] Figure 1B FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a baking apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. The baking apparatus 100 includes an oven 102, a moving unit 106, a moving unit 108, a moving unit 110 and a loading and unloading unit 104. The oven 102 is used to bake a to-be-heated object, so as to bake the to-be-heated object to a suitable dryness degree. The moving unit 106, the moving unit 108 and the moving unit 110 are used to transport the to-be-heated object into or out of the oven 102 in a forward direction or a reverse direction, so as to move the to-be-heated object. The forward direction is the direction of sending the to-be-heated object into the oven 102, and the reverse direction is the direction of sending the to-be-heated object out of the oven 102. The moving unit 106, the moving unit 108 and the moving unit 110 each include a slide rail having a platform with a gripper for fixing the to-be-heated object. The moving unit 106, the moving unit 108 and the moving unit 110 each include a driving motor for driving the slide rail to move the to-be-heated object in the forward direction or the reverse direction.
[0019] In one embodiment, each of the mobile units 106, 108, 110 includes a sensor for detecting the presence of the object to be heated on the gripper, and when the object to be heated is present on the gripper, the drive motor drives the slide rail to move so that the oven 102 can bake the object to be heated. In one embodiment, the oven 102 has heat insulation plates 112 and 114 for separating the heating space inside the oven 102 into three heating spaces 116, 118, and 120, in which the mobile unit 106 is located in the heating space 116, the mobile unit 108 is located in the heating space 118, and the mobile unit 110 is located in the heating space 120. The three heating spaces 116, 118, and 120 are thermally insulated from each other, and each of the heating spaces can have one or more heating lamp tubes, and the temperature of the heating lamp tubes and the heating setting can be independent of each other and do not interfere with each other. In other words, the heating lamp tubes of each of the heating spaces can be independently adjusted as needed without affecting the heating of the other heating spaces. Therefore, the oven 102 can simultaneously heat three objects to be heated, and the heating process is independently operated, and the power and heating time of the heating lamp tubes of the oven 102 can be set according to the heating process to achieve the required temperature of the heating spaces 116, 118, and 120. In one embodiment, the wavelength of the heating lamp tube can be infrared. In one embodiment, the number of mobile units can be N, and the number of heat insulation plates of the oven 102 can be N-1, which separates the oven 102 into N heating spaces for heating N objects to be heated on the N mobile units, where N is a positive integer greater than 1.
[0020] In one embodiment, during the process of baking the object to be heated by the oven 102, the mobile unit 106, the mobile unit 108, or the mobile unit 110 can repeatedly move forward and backward in the respective heating space in the forward or reverse direction to ensure uniform heating and prevent the front or back of the object to be heated from being dried to different degrees. During the baking process, the behavior and settings of the loading and unloading unit 104, the mobile unit 106, the mobile unit 108, the mobile unit 110, and the oven 102 can be controlled by a processing unit (processor). The processing unit can set the heating time and required temperature of the object to be heated in advance, and operate the heating lamp tubes in the oven. The heating lamp tubes in each of the heating spaces operate independently of each other and do not interfere with each other, which can more effectively use the oven 102 to bake the object to be heated in processing. In one embodiment, the mobile units 106, 108, and 110 of the oven can be located on the same horizontal plane and enter and exit the oven in a horizontal and parallel manner, as shown in FIG. 1. In another embodiment, the mobile units 106, 108, and 110 of the oven can be located at different heights and enter and exit the oven in an upward and downward parallel manner. The present application does not limit the parallel manner of the mobile units 106, 108, and 110. Figure 1B
[0021] Figure 2 The figure is a schematic diagram of a baking apparatus 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The baking apparatus 200 includes an oven 102, a moving unit 106, a moving unit 108, a moving unit 110, a loading / unloading unit 104, and a loading / unloading unit 204. The oven 102 is used to bake the object to be heated to a suitable degree of dryness. The moving units 106, 108, and 110 are used to convey the object to be heated into and out of the oven 102 in either a forward or reverse direction, with the forward direction being... Figure 2 The direction from the center to the right, and the opposite direction is... Figure 2 The direction is from the center to the left. Each of the moving units 106, 108, and 110 includes a slide rail with a platform on it. A gripper is located on the platform for securing the object to be heated. Each of the moving units 106, 108, and 110 includes a drive motor for driving the slide rail to move forward or backward carrying the object to be heated. In one embodiment, the object to be heated may be a shoe being processed.
[0022] In one embodiment, the loading and unloading unit 104 is used to place the shoes on the moving unit 106, the moving unit 108 or the moving unit 110, which will forward the shoes into the oven 102, and after the shoes are heated, the moving unit 106, the moving unit 108 or the moving unit 110 will forward the shoes out of the oven 102, and the shoes will be taken off by the loading and unloading unit 204 for the next manufacturing step. In one embodiment, the loading and unloading unit 104 is a mechanical arm, and the loading and unloading unit 204 is another mechanical arm, which has the function of manufacturing shoes in addition to the function of placing and taking off the shoes. During the manufacturing process, the shoes need to be processed by the mechanical arm (the loading and unloading unit 104), which is placed on the moving unit 106 after being coated with a processing agent, and the moving unit 106 will forward the shoes into the oven 102 and pause for a first heating time. In the heating space 116, a known first required temperature and a first heating time are set, and the heating lamp will heat the shoes. At this time, the other two heating spaces 118 and 120 can heat other shoes. The heating spaces are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other. The baking device 200 uses multiple moving units 106, 108 and 110 and multiple heating spaces 116, 118 and 120, so that multiple shoes can be baked at the same time, improving the manufacturing efficiency. After the shoes are heated, the moving unit 106 will continue to forward the shoes out of the oven 102 and pause, and then the loading and unloading unit 204 will take off the shoes and coat the bottom of the shoes with glue, and then place the shoes on the moving unit 106. The moving unit 106 will reverse the shoes into the oven 102 and pause for a second heating time. In the heating space 116, a second required temperature and a second heating time are set, and the heating lamp will heat the shoes. After the shoes are heated, the moving unit 106 will reverse the shoes out of the oven 102 and pause, and then the loading and unloading unit 104 will take off the shoes for the next manufacturing step.
[0023] In one embodiment, the loading and unloading unit can have M, the moving unit can have N, and the oven 102 can have N-1 heat insulation plates. The oven 102 has N heating lamps, where M is a positive integer and N is a positive integer greater than 1. The present application controls the M loading and unloading units to place and take off the shoes by the processing unit, and controls the N moving units to load and unload the shoes into and out of the oven 102, thereby completing the heating process. During the heating process, the N heating spaces are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other, which can effectively complete the automation of the baking process in shoe manufacturing, saving time. At the same time, using N moving units to load and unload the shoes into and out of the oven can improve the efficiency of manufacturing shoes, and can cope with various production lines and produce multiple types of shoes by coordinating different heating times and required temperatures.
