DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0021] The present application embodiment discloses a steam setting device for shoe making, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , including a feeding mechanism 1 and a discharging mechanism 2 for conveying shoes. Both the feeding mechanism 1 and the discharging mechanism 2 can adopt any one of a belt conveyor or a chain conveyor. In the embodiment of the present application, the conveyor adopts a belt conveyor, including a frame that plays a mounting and supporting role. Two rollers are rotatably mounted on the frame, located at both ends of the frame, and the belt is wound around the outside of the two rollers. A supporting roller or a supporting plate can be arranged between the two rollers, supported under the upper belt. A servo drive motor is installed on the frame, and the servo drive motor is connected to any roller for driving the belt to move and stop.
[0022] The height of the feeding mechanism 1 is flush with that of the discharging mechanism 2, and the conveying directions of the two conveyors are parallel and in the same direction. At least two groups of shaping mechanisms are arranged between the feeding mechanism 1 and the discharging mechanism 2, and a pushing component for pushing the shoes on the feeding mechanism 1 into the shaping mechanism is arranged on the feeding mechanism 1 corresponding to each group of shaping mechanisms. The pushing component pushes multiple pairs of shoes on the feeding mechanism 1 into the shaping mechanism for steam heating and vacuum shaping operations, and when a shaping mechanism starts working, the shoes that are still being conveyed on the feeding mechanism 1 are pushed to other shaping mechanisms to be arranged and prepared for the next shaping operation. Through this setting, the shoes continuously conveyed on the feeding mechanism 1 can be sent to the shaping mechanism for shaping operations, and the staff no longer needs to manually collect the shoes on the conveyor and send them to the vacuum wet heat shaping machine for shaping, which saves human resources.
[0023] Specifically, the shaping mechanism includes a mounting seat 41, and a transfer mechanism 42 is installed on the mounting seat 41. The transfer mechanism 42 is flush with the feeding mechanism 1 and the discharging mechanism 2, and the two ends are vertically connected to the sides of the feeding mechanism 1 and the discharging mechanism 2. Guide plates for guiding shoes are provided on both sides of the belts of the feeding mechanism 1 and the discharging mechanism 2. The feeding end of the transfer mechanism 42 faces the feeding mechanism 1. A notch connecting the transfer mechanism 42 is provided on the guide plates on the feeding mechanism 1 and the discharging mechanism 2 near the side of the transfer mechanism 42. A shaping cover 43 is fixedly provided on the mounting seat 41 above the transfer mechanism 42, and a molding cavity 44 is provided in the shaping cover 43. Feeding ports 47 for shoes to pass through are respectively provided at both ends of the shaping cover 43, and gate assemblies for opening and closing the feeding ports 47 are respectively provided at both ends of the shaping cover 43. A steam humidification assembly and a vacuum shaping assembly are also provided in the shaping cover 43. Except for two feeding ports 47, the rest of the molding cavity 44 in the molding cover 43 is sealed and closed.
[0024] The pushing assembly can be specifically a push plate 31 and a first driving cylinder 32. The push plate 31 is arranged above the belt of the feeding mechanism 1. The plate surface of the push plate 31 is perpendicular to the belt of the feeding mechanism 1 and parallel to the conveying direction of the feeding mechanism 1. The push plate 31 is directly opposite to the transfer mechanism 42. The first driving cylinder 32 is fixedly arranged on the feeding mechanism 1 along the width direction of the feeding mechanism 1. The piston rod of the first driving cylinder 32 is connected to the push rod. The piston rod of the first driving cylinder 32 is extended and retracted to push the push plate 31 to move along the width direction of the belt of the feeding mechanism 1, so as to push the shoes on the feeding mechanism 1 to the transfer mechanism 42.
[0025] Furthermore, the edge of the push plate 31 near the downstream of the feeding mechanism 1 is integrally fixedly connected with a first baffle 33, which is parallel to the feeding direction of the transfer mechanism 42, and the length of the first baffle 33 should be roughly equal to the width of the belt of the feeding mechanism 1. When the push plate 31 moves with the piston rod of the first driving cylinder 32 to be flush with the guide plate on the side of the feeding mechanism 1 away from the transfer mechanism 42, the first baffle 33 is intercepted laterally above the belt of the feeding mechanism 1, which can limit the shoes on the feeding mechanism 1 from being transported downstream of the feeding mechanism 1. When it is necessary to make the shoes pass through this position and be transported downstream of the feeding mechanism 1, the first driving cylinder 32 can move the push plate 31 out of the feeding mechanism 1 in the direction away from the transfer mechanism 42 until the first baffle 33 leaves from above the belt of the feeding mechanism 1.
[0026] Furthermore, a connecting rod 34 can be fixedly installed on the side of the push plate 31 away from the first baffle 33, one end of the connecting rod 34 is fixedly connected to the upper edge of the push plate 31, and the other end is connected to the piston rod of the first driving cylinder 32. The height of the upper edge of the push plate 31 should be higher than the height of the shoes on the feeding mechanism 1. The push plate 31 and the first driving cylinder 32 are separated by the connecting rod 34 to form a clearance passage with the same width as the belt of the feeding mechanism 1, which can be used for shoes to pass through. Under this design, when it is necessary to make the shoes pass through this position and transport them downstream of the feeding mechanism 1, the first driving cylinder 32 can push the push plate 31 to the side of the transfer mechanism 42, so that the clearance passage can be moved to the top of the belt of the feeding mechanism 1, so that the first driving cylinder 32 only needs a moving stroke to realize the function, reducing costs.
[0027] In the embodiment of the present application, the gate assembly includes a gate 51 vertically slidably mounted on the inner wall of the shaping cover 43, the gate 51 is located directly above the belt of the transfer mechanism 42, and the gate 51 is vertically guided and slidable by a track or a guide column. A second driving cylinder 52 is vertically mounted in the shaping cover 43, and the piston rod of the second driving cylinder 52 is fixedly connected to the gate 51. The edge of the gate 51, especially the lower edge and both side edges of the gate 51, is provided with a sealing strip 53 for sealing the feed port 47. The upper layer of the belt of the transfer mechanism 42 passes through the molding cavity 44 through the feed port 47, and the lower layer is located outside the molding cavity 44. The lower edge of the feed port 47 is provided with a sealing member for sealing contact with the belt of the transfer mechanism 42. Both the sealing member and the sealing strip 53 can be made of rubber material, having elasticity and sealing properties. When the gate 51 descends, the gate 51 is sealed on all sides by the sealing strip 53 on the gate 51. At the same time, by pressing the belt of the transfer mechanism 42 in the feeding port 47, the seal at the lower edge of the feeding port 47 is in close contact with the belt, thereby achieving full closure of the feeding port 47 and facilitating the operation of the vacuum shaping component.
[0028] Furthermore, the gate 51 can be designed to be an isosceles trapezoid with a larger top and a smaller bottom. The sealing strip 53 is arranged at the bottom and both side edges of the gate 51. The inner wall of the shaping cover 43 is provided with sealing grooves 45 adapted to the two side edges of the gate 51 on both sides of the feeding port 47. When the gate 51 is lowered, the sealing strips 53 on both sides of the gate 51 can cooperate with the sealing grooves 45 in the shaping cover 43, and have a good sealing effect. The upper edge of the gate 51 is provided with a rubber strip 54 protruding toward the outside of the shaping cover 43, and the inner wall of the shaping cover 43 is provided above the feeding port 47, which is adapted to the rubber strip 54 at the top of the gate 51. When the gate 51 is lowered, the rubber strip 54 is pressed against the upper part of the limiting strip 46 to seal the upper edge of the gate 51, thereby improving the vacuum sealing performance in the molding cavity 44.
[0029] In the embodiment of the present application, the feeding mechanism 1, the discharging mechanism 2 and the transfer mechanism 42 can all convey shoes in a step-by-step manner. The pushing component on the feeding mechanism 1 can control the time of intermittent pushing motion through a program, and a photoelectric sensor can be set upstream of the pushing component to start after sensing the passage of shoes. At the same time, a counter can be set to count the shoes fed into each group of shaping mechanisms. When the number of shoes fed in is sufficient, the push plate 31 in the pushing mechanism can be controlled to move to one side of the feeding mechanism 1 to send the shoes on the feeding mechanism 1 downstream, or the upstream pushing mechanism can push the shoes to the upstream shaping mechanism.
[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, the humidification component includes a plurality of steam nozzles 61 installed in the shaping cover 43 at intervals along the feeding direction of the transfer mechanism 42, the steam nozzles 61 are located just above the belt of the transfer mechanism 42, the inlet ends of the plurality of steam nozzles 61 are connected to a steam pipe 62 outside the shaping cover 43, the end of the steam pipe 62 away from the steam nozzles 61 is externally connected to a steam generator, and hot steam containing water vapor is sprayed into the shaping cover 43 through the steam generator, and a pneumatic valve 63 is installed on the steam pipe 62, and the pneumatic valve 63 is used to control the opening and closing of the steam pipe 62. The shaping component includes a vacuum tube 7, one end of the vacuum tube 7 extends into the shaping cover 43 to connect to the shaping cavity 44, and the other end is connected to a vacuum negative pressure machine, and the vacuum negative pressure machine sucks the shaping cavity 44 to form a vacuum environment.
