Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to shoe processing equipment, specifically a shoe upper processing box. Background Technology

[0002] In footwear manufacturing, the bonding of the upper to the outsole is a crucial step that directly affects the quality and durability of the finished shoe. To ensure a good bond, pre-bonding treatment of the upper is essential, especially the area where the upper contacts the outsole (i.e., the area to be processed on the upper). This area requires meticulous sanding and gluing before bonding.

[0003] In existing automated equipment, when grinding or applying glue, the robotic arm and other equipment are usually placed in a protective box. This is convenient for the robotic arm to move the shoe last with the shoe upper attached, and also convenient for the robotic arm to move the grinding wheel around the shoe upper processing area, and also convenient for the robotic arm to move the glue spray nozzle around the shoe upper processing area. However, this method has the following problems.

[0004] During grinding, the powder generated can easily enter the gaps of the robotic arm or drive components, affecting the operation of the equipment; when applying glue or treatment agents, the mist-like glue or treatment agent can easily adhere to the outer wall of the robotic arm or robotic arm hose, corroding the equipment components.

[0005] To solve the above problems, operators need to clean regularly, which increases the labor intensity of operators and requires the equipment to be stopped, which seriously affects the continuity and efficiency of the production line. Utility Model Content

[0006] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a shoe upper processing box. This processing box can concentrate the sanding, gluing, or treatment agent application processes of the shoe upper to be processed area into a sealed box, effectively avoiding the impact of powder generated during sanding on other equipment (such as robotic arms, drive motors, etc.), and also preventing the glue or treatment agent from corroding other equipment, thereby improving the cleanliness of the production environment and the service life of the equipment.

[0007] Specifically, a shoe upper processing box includes a box body having an opening and a box lid installed at the opening end, the box lid having a sealing edge that fits against the shoe upper;

[0008] A rotatable working component is installed inside the box. This working component acts on the shoe upper processing area located inside the box, which is the area where the shoe upper contacts the outsole.

[0009] Optionally, the workpiece is a grinding wheel, which grinds the area of ​​the shoe surface to be processed by rotating the grinding wheel.

[0010] Optionally, the polishing wheel is composed of multiple unit polishing wheels, each of which has an arc-shaped polishing surface that is in contact with a portion of the area to be processed on the shoe upper. The arc-shaped polishing surfaces of all unit polishing wheels constitute a polishing surface that is fully in contact with the area to be processed on the shoe upper.

[0011] Optionally, the workpiece is a glue brush, and multiple glue brushes are installed in the box. The glue or treatment agent is brushed onto the area to be processed by rotating the glue brush. The glue or treatment agent is immersed in the glue brush or contained in the processing box and can be contacted by the rotating glue brush.

[0012] Optionally, the brush includes a power shaft on which several long bristles are provided.

[0013] Optionally, the box cover is two hinged covers, which can be opened or closed by hinged opening, rotation, or splitting. The inner edges of the two covers have fitting arc surfaces that can fit against the upper of the shoe last.

[0014] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] This utility model is a shoe upper processing box for processing the upper area (the area where the shoe upper contacts the outsole). This processing box can concentrate the sanding or gluing process of the upper area into a sealed box, effectively avoiding the impact of sanding powder on other equipment (such as robotic arms, drive motors, etc.), and also preventing the glue or treatment agent from corroding other equipment, thus improving the cleanliness of the production environment and the service life of the equipment.

[0016] When the working component inside the box is a glue brush, the brush uses long bristles, and the brushing method provides a better bonding effect compared to traditional spraying. By brushing, the glue or treatment agent makes more thorough contact with the area to be processed on the shoe upper (because the brushing process presses the glue or treatment agent onto the area to be processed on the shoe upper), thereby improving the adhesion between the shoe upper and the outsole and enhancing the overall quality and stability of the shoe.

[0017] Meanwhile, since both the adhesive and the treatment agent are organic polymers, traditional processes require the use of a robotic arm with reciprocating rotation. The pipes can only be made of organic polymer flexible tubing, making it difficult to solve the problem of corrosion and blockage caused by the adhesive and treatment agent. However, in this device, the supply of adhesive and treatment agent is non-spraying, eliminating the need for complex rotation and movement like a robotic arm. Therefore, corrosion-resistant metal rigid pipes can be used, effectively solving the corrosion and blockage problems. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0026] In this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0027] As described in the background section, in existing automated equipment, when grinding or applying glue, the robotic arm and other equipment are basically placed in a protective box. This is beneficial for the robotic arm to move the shoe last with the shoe upper attached, and also facilitates the movement of the grinding wheel around the shoe upper processing area, as well as the movement of the glue spray nozzle around the shoe upper processing area. However, this method has the following problems.

[0028] During grinding, the powder generated can easily enter the gaps of the robotic arm or drive components, affecting the operation of the equipment; when applying glue or treatment agents, the mist-like glue or treatment agent can easily adhere to the outer wall of the robotic arm or robotic arm hose, corroding the equipment components.

[0029] To solve the above problems, operators need to clean regularly, which increases the labor intensity of operators and requires the equipment to be stopped, which seriously affects the continuity and efficiency of the production line.

[0030] For the reasons mentioned above, this embodiment provides a shoe upper processing box, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the processing box includes a box body 100 with an opening, and a box cover 200 is installed at the opening end. The box cover has a sealing edge that fits against the shoe upper.

[0031] A rotatable working component is installed inside the box, which acts on the shoe upper processing area located inside the box, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the processing area 401 of the shoe upper is the area where the shoe upper 400 contacts the outsole.

[0032] The aforementioned technical features allow workers to conveniently concentrate the sanding or gluing processes of the shoe upper processing area into a sealed box, effectively avoiding the impact of sanding powder on other equipment (such as robotic arms, drive motors, etc.), while also preventing the glue or treatment agent from corroding other equipment, thus improving the cleanliness of the production environment and the service life of the equipment.

[0033] In order to achieve the sanding of the area to be processed on the shoe upper, such as Figure 2 and 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the working part is a grinding wheel 500, which grinds the area of ​​the shoe upper to be processed by rotating. When the worker uses the processing box to grind the area of ​​the shoe upper to be processed, the shoe last 300 is combined with the shoe upper 400. By moving the shoe last, the area of ​​the shoe upper to be processed is moved into the box. Then the box lid is closed, and the grinding wheel is rotated. By rotating the grinding wheel, the area of ​​the shoe upper to be processed is ground. After grinding is completed, the grinding wheel stops rotating, the box lid is opened, and the shoe upper is moved out of the box by the movement of the shoe last, thus completing the grinding process. During the grinding process, the box is in a sealed state.

[0034] For example, the grinding wheel is composed of multiple unit grinding wheels, such as... Figure 5 As shown, each of the unit grinding wheels has an arc-shaped grinding surface that is in contact with a portion of the area to be processed on the shoe upper. The arc-shaped grinding surfaces of all the unit grinding wheels constitute a grinding surface that is fully in contact with the area to be processed on the shoe upper. The unit grinding wheels are driven by an external drive unit, which can be a motor, a motor connected to a reducer, or other existing technology capable of driving the unit grinding wheels to rotate. This technical feature improves the grinding efficiency of the area to be processed on the shoe upper, as the multiple unit grinding wheels can fully cover the area to be processed when rotating.

[0035] In order to achieve the gluing of the area to be processed on the shoe upper, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the working component is a glue brush 600. Multiple glue brushes are installed inside the box. The rotating glue brushes apply glue or treatment agent to the area to be processed. The glue or treatment agent is immersed in the glue brush or contained within the processing box and can be contacted by the rotating glue brush. When the worker uses this processing box to apply glue to the area to be processed on the shoe upper, the shoe last 300 is combined with the shoe upper 400. The movement of the shoe last moves the area to be processed into the box. The box lid is then closed, and the glue brushes are rotated. Through the rotation of the glue brushes, the glue or treatment agent is applied to the area to be processed on the shoe upper. After the glue application is complete, the glue brushes stop rotating, the box lid is opened, and the shoe upper is removed from the box by the movement of the shoe last, thus completing the glue application process. During the glue application process, the box is in a sealed state.

[0036] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the brush includes a power shaft with several long bristles on it. The power shaft is connected to an external drive unit, which is a motor or a motor connected to a reducer, or other existing technology capable of driving the unit grinding wheel to rotate.

[0037] Among the aforementioned technical features, the long brush bristles better adapt to the curved surface of the area to be processed. When the curved surface of the area to be processed is concave, the glue or treatment agent is applied through the ends of the long brush bristles; when the curved surface of the area to be processed is convex, the glue or treatment agent is applied through the middle or rear of the long brush bristles. This technical feature allows for better glue application to the area to be processed and adapts to different curved surfaces. Compared to traditional spraying, brushing provides better adhesion. Through brushing, the glue or treatment agent makes more thorough contact with the area to be processed on the shoe upper (because the brushing process presses the glue or treatment agent onto the area), thereby improving the adhesion between the upper and the outsole and enhancing the overall quality and stability of the shoe.

[0038] To facilitate the insertion of shoe lasts and the sealing of the packaging box, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the box cover 200 consists of two cover plates 201. The two cover plates can be opened by means of hinged opening, rotation, or split opening. The inner edges of the two cover plates have fitting arc surfaces 2011, which can fit with the upper 400 attached to the shoe last 300. The fitting arc surfaces of the two cover plates form a sealing edge.

[0039] The above-mentioned technical features enable easy access to and from the shoe last with the upper attached, and the cover plate is fitted to the upper with an arc surface to achieve a seal, preventing the powder, glue or treatment agent in the treatment box from spilling out.

[0040] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
