Foot diseases caused by improper wearing of shoes seriously affect people's quality of life. In the face of various foot diseases, the most effective way to treat or prevent them is to use customized insoles. However, traditional manual production and 3D printing technologies have the problems of complex operation and low production efficiency.
[0003] In view of this, the inventor conducted in-depth research on the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, and thus came up with this case. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a thermoplastic insole customization device, which has the advantages of convenient operation and high production efficiency.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the solution of the utility model is:
[0006] A thermoplastic insole customization device, comprising a main body, a cover plate, an elastic shaping film, a vacuum chamber, a vacuum nozzle and a mold bag; the vacuum chamber is formed on the main body; the mold bag is formed in the shape of a foot mold and is fixedly installed in the vacuum chamber; the vacuum nozzle is arranged in the vacuum chamber; the cover plate can be opened and closed and covered on the vacuum chamber; the elastic shaping film can be opened and closed and sealed and covered on the vacuum chamber.
[0007] Furthermore, the elastic plastic film is covered on the inner surface of the cover plate, and there is no airtight fit between the elastic plastic film and the cover plate.
[0008] Furthermore, a notch is formed in the middle of the cover plate, and the edges of the elastic plastic membrane are fixedly attached to the inner surface of the cover plate.
[0009] Furthermore, an air guide chain is installed in the vacuum chamber.
[0010] Furthermore, the cover plate and the main body are hinged via a plurality of hinge supports.
[0011] Furthermore, a first magnetic strip is provided on the inner edge of the cover plate, a second magnetic strip is provided on the upper edge of the vacuum chamber, and the cover plate is magnetically attracted to the vacuum chamber through the first magnetic strip and the second magnetic strip.
[0012] Furthermore, a vacuum control button is formed on the main body.
[0013] Furthermore, the mold taking bag is made of silicone material, the interior of the mold taking bag is filled with shaping particles, the mold taking bag is connected to a vacuum tube, and the mold taking bag forms the shape of the foot mold by vacuuming.
[0014] Furthermore, a heating chamber is formed on the main body.
[0015] After adopting the above structure, the thermoplastic insole customization device of the utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. When in use, the operator puts the heated and softened insole into a mold bag formed in the shape of the user's foot, then covers the cover and evacuates the vacuum chamber. At this time, the elastic shaping film will be concave into the vacuum chamber under the action of negative pressure, and the insole will be firmly pressed into the mold bag; after the insole is cooled and shaped, the vacuum is released to restore the pressure in the vacuum chamber to atmospheric pressure, and then the cover is opened to take out the insole to complete the production of the customized insole. The entire insole shaping and production process does not require manual pressure, so it is safer and more convenient, and greatly improves the production efficiency of the insole compared to 3D printing.

In particular, there are often low-lying areas at the heel and sole of the insole where bubbles are easily formed, and the air guide chain can be used to discharge the bubbles from the side of the insole along the air guide chain. This makes the elastic shaping film fit the insole more closely, greatly improving the quality of the insole product.
[0018] 3. Through the notch on the cover plate, when the vacuum chamber is evacuated, a pressure difference is formed on both sides of the elastic plastic film, so that the elastic plastic film is recessed toward the mold bag. In addition, the situation of the vacuum chamber can be observed through the notch during evacuation, so that possible problems can be discovered and improved in time, avoiding rework after production is completed, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0019] Fourth, the first magnetic strip and the second magnetic strip can make the periphery of the cover plate better fit the upper end of the vacuum chamber, and the opening and closing operation of the cover plate is more convenient.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the utility model uses a thermoplastic insole customization device to shape the insole through the vacuum chamber and the elastic shaping film, which is more convenient to operate and greatly improves the production efficiency of the insole products.

[0031] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present utility model, the present utility model is described in detail below through specific embodiments.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it is a thermoplastic insole customization device involved in the utility model, which includes a main body 1, a cover plate 2, an elastic shaping film 3, a vacuum chamber 4, a vacuum nozzle 5 and a mold capsule 6; the vacuum chamber 4 is formed on the main body 1; the mold capsule 6 is formed in the shape of a foot mold, and the mold capsule 6 is fixedly installed in the vacuum chamber 4; the vacuum nozzle 5 is arranged in the vacuum chamber 4; the cover plate 2 can be opened and closed to cover the vacuum chamber 4; the elastic shaping film 3 can be opened and closed to seal and cover the vacuum chamber 4. When in use, the operator puts the heated and softened insole into the mold capsule 6 formed in the shape of the user's foot, then covers the cover plate 2 and evacuates the vacuum chamber 4. At this time, the elastic shaping film 3 will be concave into the vacuum chamber 4 under the action of negative pressure, and the insole will be firmly pressed in the mold capsule 6; after the insole is cooled and shaped, the vacuum is released to restore the pressure in the vacuum chamber 4 to atmospheric pressure, and then the cover plate 2 is opened to take out the insole to complete the production of the customized insole. The entire insole shaping and production process does not require manual pressing, so it is safer and more convenient, and greatly improves the production efficiency of insoles compared to 3D printing.
[0033] Preferably, the elastic plastic film 3 is covered on the inner surface of the cover plate 2, and there is no airtight fit between the elastic plastic film 3 and the cover plate 2. A notch 21 is formed in the middle of the cover plate 2, and the edges of the elastic plastic film 3 are fixed to the inner surface of the cover plate 2. Through the notch 21 on the cover plate 2, when the vacuum chamber 4 is evacuated, a pressure difference will be formed on both sides of the elastic plastic film 3, so that the elastic plastic film 3 is recessed toward the mold bag 6. And through the notch 21, the situation of the vacuum chamber 4 can also be observed during vacuuming, so that possible problems can be discovered and improved in time, avoiding the situation of rework after production is completed, and improving production efficiency.
[0034] Preferably, an air guide chain 41 is installed in the vacuum chamber 4. The air guide chain 41 can discharge the bubbles generated when the elastic shaping film 3 is evacuated and fits with the insole. In particular, there are often low-lying areas at the heel and sole of the insole where bubbles are easily formed, and the air guide chain 41 can discharge the bubbles from the side of the insole along the air guide chain 41. This makes the elastic shaping film 3 fit the insole more closely, greatly improving the quality of the insole product.
[0035] Preferably, if Figure 3 As shown, the inner edge of the cover plate 2 is provided with a first magnetic strip 22, and the upper edge of the vacuum chamber 4 is provided with a second magnetic strip 42. The cover plate 2 is magnetically covered on the vacuum chamber 4 through the first magnetic strip 22 and the second magnetic strip 42. The cover plate 2 can be better fitted on the upper end of the vacuum chamber 4, and the opening and closing operation of the cover plate 2 is more convenient. Preferably, the cover plate 2 and the main body 1 are hinged by a plurality of hinge supports 7. In this way, the cover plate 2 can be directly opened or closed with the hinge support 7 as the fulcrum, further improving the convenience of operation.
[0036] Preferably, a vacuum control button 11 is formed on the main body 1. The operator can control whether the vacuum chamber 4 is evacuated through the vacuum control button 11, and the vacuum control button 11 also has the function of releasing the vacuum, so that after the insole shaping is completed, the vacuum chamber 4 can return to normal atmospheric pressure.
[0037] Preferably, if Figure 4As shown, the mold capsule 6 is made of silicone material, and the mold capsule 6 is filled with shaping particles. The mold capsule 6 is connected to a vacuum tube 8, and the mold capsule 6 forms the shape of the foot mold by vacuuming. In addition, a heating chamber 12 is formed on the main body 1. When in use, the insole is first placed in the heating chamber 12 from both sides for heating. During the heating of the insole, the mold capsule 6 is smoothed and vacuumed through the vacuum tube 8. At this time, the shaping particles in the mold capsule 6 will be in a tight and solidified state under the vacuum state. Then guide the user to move barefoot slowly to the center position on the left and right sides of the mold capsule 6, release the vacuum of the mold capsule 6, soften the mold capsule 6, and the user's foot naturally settles. After the user's foot settles to the appropriate position, the mold capsule 6 is vacuumed again to make it completely hardened, and the mold is completed after the hardening is completed. In this way, the user's foot shape can be molded within the time of heating the insole, which greatly saves time and further improves production efficiency.
[0038] Compared with the prior art, the utility model uses a thermoplastic insole customization device to shape the insole through the vacuum chamber 4 and the elastic shaping membrane 3, which is more convenient to operate and greatly improves the production efficiency of the insole products.
