Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of shoe sole injection molding machine equipment, and in particular to a suction cup structure for a shoe sole injection molding machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the shoe sole production process, the shoe sole injection molding machine is one of the core pieces of equipment. Its function is to inject molten plastic material into a mold, and after cooling and solidification, remove the shoe sole. However, existing shoe sole injection molding machines have the following problems in the shoe sole removal process:

[0003] Traditional suction cup structures in shoe sole injection molding machines have the following significant drawbacks: First, the suction cup position is fixed and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to shoe sole size, making it difficult for the equipment to adapt to the production needs of different shoe sole specifications and limiting its versatility. Second, adjustment is inconvenient; adjusting the suction cup position usually requires manual operation, which is cumbersome and inefficient, seriously affecting overall production efficiency. Third, the suction force is insufficient or unstable; the uneven distribution or insufficient strength of traditional suction cups can easily cause the shoe sole to detach or shift during transfer, directly affecting product quality. Finally, the level of automation is low; existing equipment lacks automated control functions and relies heavily on manual operation, which not only increases labor intensity but also raises production costs. These problems severely restrict the production efficiency and product quality of shoe sole injection molding machines, urgently requiring a more advanced and flexible suction cup structure to solve them.

[0004] Chinese patents disclose some clamping devices for shoe sole production (publication number: CN 221497196U), including a placement plate body with a clamping component on the placement plate body. The clamping component includes a second fixing plate, with two sets of sliders fixedly installed at one end of the second fixing plate. A first fixing plate is slidably connected to one side of the sliders. However, the suction cup position of this clamping device is fixed and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the shoe sole size, making it difficult for the equipment to adapt to the production needs of different shoe sole specifications. The automation level is low, and the existing equipment lacks automatic control functions, relying heavily on manual operation, which not only increases labor intensity but also increases production costs. Therefore, a suction cup structure for shoe sole injection molding machines is needed. Utility Model Content

[0024] In this embodiment, the suction cup assembly includes a first suction cup bracket 13, which has several hexagonal socket head cap screws 9. Each hexagonal socket head cap screw 9 has a spring 15 with an inner diameter of 12mm, a wire diameter of 12mm, and a length of 60mm. One end of each hexagonal socket head cap screw 9 is connected to a second suction cup bracket 10. The bottom of the second suction cup bracket 10 has a vacuum generator model 11, and the bottom of the vacuum generator model 11 is connected to a suction cup model 12. The vacuum generator model 11 and the suction cup model 12 ensure stable suction during operation, preventing the sole from detaching or shifting due to insufficient suction. The spring 15 effectively buffers the impact force when the suction cup contacts the sole, preventing damage to the sole surface and extending the service life of the suction cup assembly. Connecting the first suction cup bracket 13 and the second suction cup bracket 10 with the hexagonal socket head cap screws 9 results in a simple structure that is easy to disassemble and maintain, reducing equipment maintenance costs.

[0027] In this embodiment, both the first rack 17 and the second rack 7 are helical racks.

The reasonable design of the first rack 17 and the second rack 7 ensures their stability and durability during operation. The equally spaced array of mounting holes 16 facilitates quick installation and fixation of the racks, shortening equipment debugging time.

[0028] In this embodiment, there are two long guide rails 23 and two short guide rails 6, which are arranged correspondingly. The long guide rail 23 is 940mm long, and the short guide rail 6 is 270mm long. The corresponding arrangement of the long guide rails 23 and the short guide rails 6 ensures the stability of the equipment during movement and avoids production problems caused by vibration or displacement. The 940mm length of the long guide rail 23 can meet the needs of large-range movement and adapt to the production of shoe soles of different sizes. The 270mm length of the short guide rail 6, used in conjunction with the long guide rail 23, ensures that the overall structure of the equipment is compact and saves space.

[0029] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0030] Equipment startup and initial positioning

[0031] When the equipment is started, the electromagnetic induction plate 3 begins to work, detecting the position of the upper crossbeam body 2. Through feedback from the control system, the equipment automatically adjusts to the initial position, ensuring that the suction cup assembly is at the correct working starting point;

[0032] Suction cup position adjustment

[0033] When different sizes of shoe soles need to be produced, the operator adjusts the position of the suction cup assembly using the adjustable grooves 14 on the adjustable plate 8. Since there are two adjustable grooves 14, and they are correspondingly set, the operator can easily move the suction cup assembly to a position suitable for the shoe sole size.

[0034] Suction cups adhere to the soles of shoes

[0035] After the sole is formed in the mold, the equipment begins to adhere to it. At this time, the matching motors on the first motor bracket 19 and the second motor bracket 25 are activated, driving the first slider 22 and the second slider 21 to move along the long guide rail 23 and the short guide rail 6, causing the suction cup assembly to move downwards towards the sole. When the suction cup assembly contacts the sole, the vacuum generator model 11 starts working, generating negative pressure through the suction cup model 12 to firmly adhere the sole to the suction cup.

[0036] Sole transfer

[0037] Once the sole is attracted, the equipment begins to transfer it to the next process. At this time, the first rack 17 and the second rack 7 start working, driving the upper beam body 2 and the suction cup assembly to move along the long guide rail 23 and the short guide rail 6. Since both the first rack 17 and the second rack 7 are helical racks, the transmission efficiency is high and the operation is smooth, ensuring that the sole will not shift or fall off during the transfer process.

[0038] Sole release and reset

[0039] Once the sole reaches the target position, the vacuum generator model 11 stops working, the suction cup model 12 releases the negative pressure, and the sole is smoothly placed in the designated position. Subsequently, driven by the motor, the suction cup assembly returns to its initial position along the long guide rail 23 and the short guide rail 6, awaiting the next work cycle;

[0040] Buffer protection and equipment maintenance

[0041] Throughout the entire operation, the spring 15 in the suction cup assembly acts as a buffer. When the suction cup assembly comes into contact with the sole, the spring 15 effectively absorbs the impact force, preventing damage to the sole surface and protecting the mechanical structure of the suction cup assembly, thus extending the equipment's lifespan. Furthermore, the design of the hex socket head cap screw 9 makes the suction cup assembly easy to disassemble and maintain, reducing equipment maintenance costs.
