Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of shoe sole injection molding machine equipment, and in particular to an automatic shoe sole clamping device for a shoe sole injection molding machine. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional shoe sole injection molding machines, mold opening and closing, and material removal are independent operations performed sequentially. This means the machine must complete one step before starting the next, leading to a prolonged overall production process. This step-by-step operation mode limits the throughput of the production line, making it difficult to improve production efficiency. The traditional step-by-step operation method also increases machine idle time, which not only reduces production efficiency but also leads to higher energy consumption. Long operating times and frequent start-ups and shutdowns increase electricity costs, negatively impacting the company's economic benefits.

[0003] Chinese patent discloses an automated production equipment for a two-color or multi-color shoe sole disc injection molding machine (publication number: CN216914623 U), which includes a turntable with multiple shoe sole molds on it. Each shoe sole mold includes a first upper mold, a second upper mold, and a lower mold. The first and second upper molds are respectively hinged to the lower mold. The first and second upper molds apply different colors to the shoe soles in the lower mold. However, the step-by-step operation mode of this automated production equipment for shoe sole disc injection molding machines limits the throughput of the production line, making it difficult to improve production efficiency. The step-by-step operation mode increases the machine's idle time, which not only reduces production efficiency but also leads to higher energy consumption. Therefore, there is a need for an automatic shoe sole clamping device for shoe sole injection molding machines. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing automated production equipment for shoe sole injection molding machines, where the step-by-step operation mode limits the throughput of the production line, making it difficult to improve production efficiency; the step-by-step operation mode increases the machine's idle time, which not only reduces production efficiency but also leads to higher energy consumption. Therefore, this invention proposes an automatic shoe sole clamping device for shoe sole injection molding machines.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: An automatic shoe sole clamping device for a shoe sole injection molding machine, comprising a turntable, characterized in that: a plurality of shoe sole molds are provided on the turntable, each shoe sole mold including a first upper mold, a second upper mold below the first upper mold, and a lower mold below the second upper mold; a first mold rod is provided on one side of the first upper mold, and a T-shaped mold rod is provided at the center of the other side; third mold rods are provided on both sides of the T-shaped mold rod; second mold rods are provided on both sides of the second upper mold; a discharge port is provided at the top of the first upper mold; a first frame is provided on one side of the turntable, a second frame is provided on one side of the first frame, and a third frame is provided on one side of the second frame; a horizontal displacement device is provided at the top of the second and third frames; a mold opening device is provided on the horizontal displacement device and is associated with the first frame; and a material removal component is provided at one end of the horizontal displacement device. This device, by setting multiple shoe sole molds on the turntable for production, with each mold consisting of three parts: a first upper mold, a second upper mold, and a lower mold, can realize the production of multiple varieties and specifications of shoe soles, improving production efficiency. Meanwhile, by incorporating horizontal displacement and mold-opening devices, automated operation can be achieved, reducing manual intervention and labor intensity. Furthermore, the waste material collection component can collect waste generated during production, facilitating recycling.

[0006] Preferably, the waste material handling assembly includes an L-shaped support beam. A drive cylinder is located on one side of the L-shaped support beam. A linear slide rail is located at the center of the top surface of the L-shaped support beam. A slider is located at the center of the top of the linear slide rail. First mounting plates are located on both sides of the slider. Lifting cylinders are located on the first mounting plates. A second mounting plate is connected to the bottom of the lifting cylinder. An opening / closing cylinder is connected to the bottom of the second mounting plate. Opening / closing grippers are connected to the bottom of the opening / closing cylinder and are associated with the discharge port. By setting the linear slide rail and slider, precise positioning and gripping of waste materials can be achieved. Simultaneously, the design of the lifting cylinder and opening / closing cylinder allows the opening / closing grippers to flexibly adjust their position and angle to adapt to waste materials of different shapes and sizes.

[0007] Preferably, a third mounting plate is provided on one side of the bottom of the second mounting plate, and an adjustable positioning screw is provided at the bottom of the third mounting plate. The material removal assembly adopts an L-shaped support beam structure, making the entire device more stable and reliable. The third mounting plate and adjustable positioning screw at the bottom of the second mounting plate allow for fine-tuning of the position of the opening and closing grippers to meet the needs of different production lines.

[0008] Preferably, the mold opening device includes a top mold assembly, a flipping mold assembly, and a finished product clamping assembly. Two sets of top mold assemblies are arranged correspondingly. Each top mold assembly includes a top mold cylinder, one end of which is connected to a top mold moving component. An installation plate is located at the center of the inner side of the top mold moving component, and a lifting plate is located at the center of the installation plate. A lifting cylinder is connected to the bottom of the lifting plate. The mold opening device employs a combined design of the top mold assembly, flipping mold assembly, and finished product clamping assembly, enabling automatic opening, closing, flipping, and finished product removal of the shoe sole mold. Specifically, the top mold assembly is responsible for converting the mold from a horizontal to a vertical state; the flipping mold assembly is responsible for flipping the mold to a suitable angle; and the finished product clamping assembly is responsible for removing the finished product from the mold and placing it in a designated position.

[0009] Preferably, the mold-flipping assembly includes a first vertical drive motor, a lifting arm on one side of the first vertical drive motor, a connecting member on one side of the lifting arm, a connecting rod on one side of the connecting member, a connecting plate at one end of the connecting rod, a first mold hook on one side of the bottom of the connecting plate, and a second mold hook on the other side. The mold-flipping assembly uses the first vertical drive motor to drive the lifting arm to perform lifting and lowering movements, thereby realizing the flipping of the mold. The design of the connecting member and the connecting rod makes the mold-flipping process more stable and reliable. The first mold hook and the second mold hook are used to fix the two sides of the mold respectively, ensuring that the mold will not shift or be damaged during the flipping process.

[0010] Preferably, the finished product gripping assembly includes a second vertical drive motor, a translation drive motor on one side of the second vertical drive motor, a fixed base on one side of the translation drive motor, a clamping cylinder at the bottom of the fixed base, and finished product grippers at the bottom of the clamping cylinder. The finished product grippers are two in number and correspondingly arranged. The finished product gripping assembly, employing a combination design of the second vertical drive motor and the translation drive motor, can automatically remove and place finished shoe soles. The second vertical drive motor is responsible for removing the finished product grippers from the mold; the translation drive motor is responsible for moving the finished product grippers to the designated position for placement. The design of the fixed base makes the entire finished product gripping assembly more stable and reliable. The two clamping cylinders and correspondingly arranged finished product grippers allow for the simultaneous processing of two finished shoe soles, improving production efficiency.

[0011] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0012] This application automates the injection molding, forming, and clamping processes of shoe soles, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency. By processing the opening / closing and scrap material removal steps in parallel, production cycle time is reduced, making the entire production process smoother and more efficient. This synchronous operation mode significantly increases the overall throughput of the production line because there is no longer a need to wait for one step to complete before proceeding to the next. In traditional step-by-step processes, equipment and human resources may be idle, waiting for the previous step to complete. Simultaneous opening / closing and scrap material removal operations can make fuller use of existing resources, reduce waste, and improve equipment utilization efficiency. Automated operation reduces the labor intensity of workers. Through precise positioning and control, the device can ensure the dimensional accuracy and consistency of shoe soles, thereby improving product quality. At the same time, automated operation reduces the impact of human factors on product quality. The scrap material removal component can collect waste generated during the production process, facilitating recycling, reducing production costs, and also benefiting environmental protection. The adjustable positioning screw design makes the device more versatile and flexible, adapting to the needs of different production lines. When it is necessary to change molds or adjust production processes, only the positioning screw needs to be adjusted for rapid switching. Attached Figure Description
