Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a shoe-making machine component, and more particularly to a quick-release mounting module for a shoe-making machine. Background Technology

[0002] In existing shoe-making machines, before attaching the upper to the outsole, adhesive needs to be applied to the upper. This is done using a robotic arm that drives a glue brush. To prevent the glue brush from falling off during use, it is manually secured to the robotic arm with screws.

[0003] However, the existing shoemaking machine needs to produce different types of shoes, and different types of shoes use different glue brushes. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly replace different glue brushes. The constant disassembly and assembly of screws is labor-intensive, and both disassembly and assembly are very troublesome. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve it. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quick-release installation module for a shoe-making machine that overcomes the shortcomings described in the background art.

[0005] This invention relates to a quick-release installation module for a shoe-making machine. The module comprises an installation unit, at least one clamping unit, and a brush unit. The installation unit includes a base disposed on the shoe-making machine, a bottom extending from the base in an extension direction opposite to the shoe-making machine and extending in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the extension direction, a locking portion extending upward from the bottom in the horizontal direction and connected to the base, and a side portion extending upward from the bottom in the horizontal direction and connected to the base. The base, bottom, locking portion, and side portion together define an accommodating space open in the extension direction opposite to the shoe-making machine. The mounting portion has a slot that communicates with the accommodating space along the horizontal direction and extends upward and is open upward. The at least one clamping unit includes a fixing member disposed on the base and located above the accommodating space, an elastic member disposed on the fixing member, and a latch member pivotally mounted on the fixing member and connected to the elastic member. The elastic member constantly applies a downward swaying elastic force to the latch member. The brush unit includes a mounting member and a brush member disposed on the side of the mounting member opposite to the mounting unit. The mounting member has a body portion that can be detachably mounted in the accommodating space and clamped by the latch member of the at least one clamping unit, and a slide portion connected to the body portion and for embedding in the slot.

[0006] The quick-release installation module of the shoe-making machine of the present invention has a latch of at least one clamping unit having a swing portion pivotally mounted on the fixing member and connected below the elastic member, and a stop portion connected along the extending direction to the side of the swing portion opposite to the base portion, the bottom end of the stop portion protruding downward from the swing portion.

[0007] The quick-release installation module of the shoe-making machine of the present invention has a stop portion of at least one clamping unit having a downward-facing inclined surface, the inclined surface being inclined downward in the direction of the swing portion.

[0008] The quick-release installation module of the shoe-making machine of the present invention further includes at least one positioning pin extending upward from the bottom and penetrating the accommodating space, and the body has at least one positioning hole formed on the bottom surface for the at least one positioning pin to pass through.

[0009] The quick-release installation module of the shoe-making machine of the present invention has at least one positioning pin formed on the bottom surface and extending downward, and the installation unit further includes at least one positioning hole extending downward from the bottom and communicating with the accommodating space, the at least one positioning hole being used for the at least one positioning pin to pass through.

[0010] The quick-release installation module of the shoe-making machine of the present invention further includes at least one spring pin passing through the base. The spring pin has a shell portion disposed in the base and an end portion disposed in the shell portion. The end portion can be pushed and moved relative to the shell portion. When the end portion is not pushed, the end portion extends into the receiving space. When the end portion is pushed, the end portion can gradually retract into the shell portion along the extension direction according to the degree of pushing.

[0011] The quick-release installation module of the shoe-making machine of the present invention includes two clamping units, which are spaced apart on the base along the horizontal direction.

[0012] In the quick-release installation module of the shoe-making machine of the present invention, the elastic element of the at least one clamping unit is a spring.

[0013] The quick-release installation module of the shoe-making machine of the present invention has a chamfered surface on the main body. The chamfered surface is located at the junction of the side of the main body opposite to the brush and the top. The chamfered surface can cooperate with the inclined surface of the at least one clamping unit so that the glue-applying unit can be smoothly embedded into the receiving space.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by providing the locking part having the slot, the sliding part that can be embedded in the slot, and the latch that can clamp the body part, the adhesive brush unit can be quickly installed and removed from the mounting unit, thus improving the convenience of assembly.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3An embodiment of the quick-release installation module of the shoemaking machine of the present invention is applied to a shoemaking machine 9. The quick-release installation module of the shoemaking machine includes an installation unit 2, two clamping units 3, and a glue brush unit 4.

[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting unit 2 includes a base 21 disposed on the shoemaking machine 9, a bottom 22 extending from the base 21 along an extension direction X toward a side opposite to the shoemaking machine 9 and extending along a horizontal direction Y perpendicular to the extension direction X, a locking part 23 extending upward from the bottom 22 along one side of the horizontal direction Y and connected to the base 21, a side part 24 extending upward from the bottom 22 along the other side of the horizontal direction Y and connected to the base 21, two positioning pins 25 extending upward from the bottom 22, and two spring pins 26 passing through the base 21.

[0030] The base 21, the bottom 22, the locking portion 23, and the side portion 24 together define an accommodating space 27 that opens along the extending direction X toward a side opposite to the shoemaking machine 9. The positioning pin 25 inserts upward into the accommodating space 27.

[0031] The latching part 23 has a latching slot 231 that connects to the accommodating space 27 along the horizontal direction Y, extends upward and is open upward.

[0032] See Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 Each spring pin 26 has a housing portion 261 disposed on the base 21, and a movable end portion 262 disposed on the housing portion 261. The end portion 262 can be pushed and moved relative to the housing portion 261. See also Figure 6 When the end portion 262 is not pushed, the end portion 262 extends into the receiving space 27. (See also...) Figure 7 When the end portion 262 is pushed against the shell portion 261, the end portion 262 can gradually retract into the shell portion 261 along the extension direction X, depending on the degree of pushing.

[0033] See Figure 3 and Figure 5The clamping units 3 are spaced apart along the horizontal direction Y at the base 21. Each clamping unit 3 includes a fixing member 31 disposed on the base 21 and located above the accommodating space 27, an elastic member 32 disposed on the fixing member 31, and a latch 33 pivotally mounted on the fixing member 31 and connected to the elastic member 32. The elastic member 32 constantly applies a downward-swinging elastic force to the latch 33. In this embodiment, the elastic member 32 is a spring.

[0034] The latch 33 has a swing portion 331 pivotally mounted on the fixing member 31 and connected below the elastic member 32, and a stop portion 332 connected along the extending direction X to the side of the swing portion 331 opposite to the base 21.

[0035] The bottom end of the stop 332 protrudes downward from the swing part 331. The stop 332 has a downward-facing inclined surface 333, which slopes downward toward the swing part 331.

[0036] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The adhesive brush unit 4 includes a mounting member 41 and a brush member 42 disposed on the side of the mounting member 41 opposite to the mounting unit 2.

[0037] The mounting member 41 has a body portion 411 that can be detachably mounted within the receiving space 27 and clamped by the latch 33 of the clamping unit 3, and a slide portion 412 connected to the body portion 411 and for embedding into the slot 231. The body portion 411 has two positioning holes 413 formed on its bottom surface for the positioning pins 25 to pass through, and a chamfered surface 414 located at the junction of the side of the body portion 411 opposite to the brush member 42 and the top. The chamfered surface 414 can cooperate with the inclined surface 333 of the clamping unit 3 to allow the brushing unit 4 to be smoothly embedded into the receiving space 27. The brush member 42 has a plurality of bristles.

[0038] In this embodiment, the number of clamping unit 3, positioning pin 25, spring pin 26 and positioning hole 413 is two, but it is not limited to two. In other embodiments, there may be one or more.

[0039] See Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The latch 33 can be pulled upwards by an external force. (See also...) Figure 8 When the latch 33 is not actuated, it is tilted downwards by the elastic force of the elastic member 32. (See also...) Figure 9When the latch 33 is moved, it will tilt upwards due to the force.

[0040] See Figure 3 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 When installing the adhesive brush unit 4 into the mounting unit 2, first flip one of the latches 33 adjacent to the slot 231 upwards, so that the slider part 412 can be inserted into the slot 231 at an inclined angle. At this time, the top of the body part 411 is located below the latch 33 that has been flipped, and the bottom surface of the body part 411 is located above the positioning pin 25. Then, flip one of the latches 33 away from the slot 231 upwards (the latch 33 can be pushed by directly flipping it or by pushing the chamfered surface 414 of the mounting part 41 against the corresponding inclined surface 333), so that the mounting part 41 can be rotated to push the spring pin 26 and abut against the base 21, and be accommodated in the accommodating space 27.

[0041] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 11 Next, the adhesive brush unit 4 is moved down so that the positioning pins 25 are inserted into the positioning holes 413 respectively, and the latch 33 is made to face down and fasten to the top of the mounting part 41, thus completing the installation of the adhesive brush unit 4.

[0042] Since the brush unit 4 is simultaneously limited by the latch 33 and the positioning pin 25, the brush unit 4 can be securely installed in the mounting unit 2.

[0043] To remove the brush unit 4 from the mounting unit 2, simply turn the latch 33 upwards and move the brush unit 4 upwards to disengage from the positioning pin 25. The spring pin 26 will then push the brush unit 4 out of the receiving space 27, thus completing the removal of the brush unit 4.

[0044] For other implementation examples, see [link / reference]. Figure 12 Alternatively, a single clamping unit 3 can be used, allowing the adhesive brush unit 4 to be installed on the mounting unit 2, so that the slide part 412 can be directly inserted into the slot 231 at an inclined angle to achieve the same installation effect.

[0045] In another embodiment (not shown), the mounting unit 2 can also omit the positioning pin 25, and the body part 411 can also omit the positioning hole 413. Instead, the body part 411 has two positioning pins 25 formed on the bottom surface and extending downward. The mounting unit 2 also includes two positioning holes 413 extending downward from the bottom 22 and communicating with the accommodating space 27. The positioning holes 413 are used for the positioning pins 25 to pass through respectively, so as to achieve the same installation effect.

[0046] Alternatively, if the application is to an environment where the brush unit 4 can be automatically replaced, the positioning pin 25 and the positioning hole 413 can be eliminated. A first robotic arm (not shown) is responsible for turning the latch 33, and a second robotic arm (not shown) is responsible for holding and moving the brush unit 4, so that the brush unit 4 can be automatically installed. When the brush unit 4 needs to be removed, simply turn the latch 33, and the brush unit 4 can be directly pushed out of the receiving space 27 by the spring pin 26, so that the brush unit 4 can be easily removed.

[0047] In summary, by providing the locking part 23 with the slot 231, the slide part 412 that can be embedded in the slot 231, the latch 33 that can clamp the body part 411, and the positioning pin 25 that can limit the position of the body part 411, the adhesive brush unit 4 can be quickly installed and removed from the mounting unit 2 without the need for screwing, thus improving the convenience of assembly and achieving the purpose of the present invention.
