For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, a shoelace threading device with an automatic feeding mechanism for shoe uppers and shoelaces includes: a workbench 7 and a processing group disposed on the workbench 7; the processing group includes, in sequence: a feeding device 1, a discharging device 3, a threading device 5, and a transfer device 4 extending from the shoe upper feeding device 1 to the threading device 5.
[0028] In actual processing, multiple independent processing groups can be set up on the workbench 7 to improve overall processing efficiency;
[0029] The shifting device 4 is equipped with a clamping fixture 2. During processing, the feeding device 1 clamps the shoe upper and shoelaces into the clamping fixture 2. Then, the shifting device 4 sequentially feeds the clamping fixture 2 into the lacing device 5, and the lacing device 5 completes the shoelace lacing process for the shoe upper in the clamping fixture 2. Afterward, the shifting device 4 moves the clamping fixture 2 to the unloading device 3, and the unloading device 3 unloads the shoe upper from the clamping fixture 2.
[0030] Furthermore, the clamping fixture 2 includes: a fixture base 23 and a shoe upper clamping assembly 21 and a shoelace clamping assembly 22 mounted on the fixture base 23;
[0031] The shoe upper clamping assembly 21 includes: a jig middle plate 216 disposed in the middle of the jig base 23, a pair of fixed clamping plates 215 installed on both sides of the jig middle plate 216, and a pair of movable clamping plates 213 disposed on both sides of the jig middle plate 216.
[0032] The bottom of the movable clamping plate 213 is hinged to the fixture base 23, and a clamping cylinder 211 is also provided in the middle of the fixture base 23. An opening and closing connecting frame 212 is provided between the clamping cylinder 211 and the movable clamping plates 213 on both sides.
[0033] During processing, the shoe upper is put on the shoe upper clamping assembly 21. The two shoelace perforation surfaces of the shoe upper are located between the movable clamping plate 213 and the fixed clamping plate 215. The clamping cylinder 211 drives the movable clamping plate 213 to flip up along the hinge position and cooperate with the fixed clamping plate 215 to realize the clamping action of the shoe upper.
[0034] Furthermore, both the fixed clamping plate 215 and the movable clamping plate 213 are provided with several U-shaped clearance slots 214, which correspond one-to-one with the shoelace holes on the shoe upper. When the shoe upper is clamped, the clearance slots 214 enable the fixed clamping plate 215 and the movable clamping plate 213 to clamp the entire shoe upper while exposing the shoelace holes, making it convenient to thread the shoelaces.
[0035] The shoelace clamping assembly 22 is located at the front end of the shoe upper clamping assembly 21, and includes: a shoelace fixing clamp 221 fixedly installed on the jig base 23, a shoelace movable clamp 222 movably installed on the jig base 23, and a clamping moving module 223 that drives the shoelace movable clamp 222 to move back and forth; during processing, the clamping moving module 223 drives the shoelace movable clamp 222 to cooperate with the shoelace fixing clamp 221, which can realize the clamping of the rope at both ends of the shoelace.
[0036] Furthermore, the opening and closing frame 212 includes: an opening and closing center seat 212a mounted on the clamping cylinder 211, and opening and closing connecting rods 212b extending to the movable clamping plates 213 on both sides at both ends of the opening and closing center seat 212a; the two ends of the opening and closing connecting rods 212b are respectively hinged to the opening and closing center seat 212a and the movable clamping plates 213.
[0037] When clamping the shoe upper, the clamping cylinder 211 drives the opening and closing center seat 212a to rise, and the opening and closing connecting rod 212b brings the two sets of movable clamping plates 213 together towards the center, which, together with the fixed clamping plate 215, realizes the clamping action of the shoe upper.
[0038] Furthermore, the feeding device 1 includes: a shoe upper feeding unit 11 for feeding shoe uppers and a shoelace feeding unit 12 for feeding shoelaces;
[0039] The shoe upper feeding unit 11 includes: a shoe upper feeding assembly 11B and a shoe upper pulling assembly 11A;
[0040] The shoe upper placement assembly 11B includes: a pair of shoe upper placement Z-axis cylinders 117 arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the traveling processing direction of the transfer device 4; a shoe upper placement X-axis cylinder 114 that moves toward the center position is mounted on the shoe upper placement Z-axis cylinder 117; a positioning seat 115 arranged parallel to the fixed clamping plate 215 is mounted on the shoe upper X-axis cylinder 114; and a plurality of positioning pin rods 116 extending toward the center are provided on the positioning seat 115; the positioning pin rods 116 can be inserted into the shoelace holes of the shoe upper.
[0041] The shoe upper assembly 11A includes: a shoe upper Y-axis cylinder 113 located at the upper end of the traveling processing direction of the shifting device 4, and a shoe upper Z-axis cylinder 111 located at the very upper end of the traveling processing direction of the shifting device 4. The shoe upper Z-axis cylinder 111 is connected to the shoe upper Y-axis cylinder 113 via a connecting frame; and a set of shoe upper guide wheels 112 are provided on the shoe upper Z-axis cylinder 111.
[0042] During the shoe upper clamping process, the shoe upper pulling assembly 11A and the shoe upper releasing assembly 11B perform corresponding processing actions respectively:
[0043] Among them, the upper-pulling assembly 11A works by driving the upper-pulling guide wheel 112 down to between the two shoelace perforation surfaces of the upper through the upper Z-axis cylinder 111. Then, the upper-pulling Y-axis cylinder 113 drives the upper-pulling guide wheel 112 to move along the upper. The loading personnel and the upper-pulling guide wheel 112 apply force to both sides to straighten the upper.
[0044] The upper placement assembly 11B operates by using the Z-axis cylinder 117 to move the positioning pin 116 down to a specific height. Then, the X-axis cylinder 114 moves the positioning pin 116 towards the center. The loading personnel adjust the height of the upper to ensure the positioning pin 116 can smoothly pass through the shoelace holes, thus achieving the positioning of the upper installation. Finally, the clamping fixture 2 clamps the upper, completing the clamping process for the entire upper loading process.
[0045] The shoelace feeding unit 12 includes: a belt-pulling cylinder 122 located at the lower end of the traveling processing direction of the frame-shifting device 4. The belt-pulling cylinder 122 moves vertically upward, and a belt-pulling plate 121 is installed on the shoelace-pulling cylinder.
[0046] When the shifting device 4 moves the clamping fixture 2 toward the lacing device 5, the pulling cylinder 122 drives the pulling plate 121 to rise and hook the shoelace. During the continuous movement of the shifting device 4 and the clamping fixture 2, since the main body of the shoelace is soft, it is impossible to clamp the shoelace itself when the shoelace movable clamp 222 and the shoelace fixed clamp 221 are engaged. This achieves the effect of pulling the shoelace out from the clamping position of the shoelace movable clamp 222 and the shoelace fixed clamp 221 until the rope of the shoelace enters the clamping position, thus completing the pulling work. This processing method can realize the automatic fixed-length work of shoelace feeding (making the two ends of the shoelace the same length), effectively improving the work efficiency of shoelace feeding.
[0047] It should also be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply 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. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
[0048] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use this application. 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 this application. Therefore, this application 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.
