Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shoemaking technology, specifically to a device for embossing fine surface textures on vacuum-formed shoe soles. Background Technology
[0002] Fine texture embossing technology on shoe sole surfaces is an important process in the footwear industry. It is used to form anti-slip patterns, designs, or other functional textures on the sole surface. Different methods are used to emboss textures on vacuum-formed soles during the production process, including mold embossing, heat transfer, and laser engraving.
[0003] In the current process of fine texturing on the surface of vacuum-formed shoe soles, laser equipment is used for texture imprinting. Laser equipment is widely used because it can achieve complex and high-precision texture engraving. However, it generates a lot of heat. Since vacuum-formed shoe soles are mostly made of materials that are sensitive to temperature, such as plastics and rubber, prolonged contact with the laser can cause the sole material to soften or even melt due to overheating. This can lead to changes in the shape of the sole, resulting in obvious dents, warping, and other deformations, which seriously affect product quality. Furthermore, the lack of effective positioning and fixing devices means that the instantaneous impact of the laser beam and the vibration generated during equipment operation can cause the sole to shift or deviate, resulting in asymmetry of the texture on both sides. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned vacuum forming shoe sole surface fine texture embossing equipment, this utility model is proposed.
[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a fine texture imprinting device for vacuum-formed shoe soles, which solves the problem that existing fine texture imprinting devices for vacuum-formed shoe soles soften or even melt due to overheating during processing, resulting in changes in the shape of the sole and seriously affecting product quality. In addition, the lack of positioning and fixing during processing means that the impact force of the laser beam and the vibration of the equipment can cause the sole to shift or deviate, leading to asymmetry of the texture on both sides.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A vacuum-formed shoe sole surface fine texture embossing device includes a support platform. A placement platform is fixedly connected to one end of the support platform through an opening. A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the placement platform. One end of the hydraulic cylinder passes through the top of the placement platform and is fixedly connected to an XY horizontal moving device. A locking seat is fixedly connected to the output end of the XY horizontal moving device. A laser generator is fixedly connected to the locking seat through an installation mechanism. A laser head is fixedly connected to the output end of the laser generator. U-shaped hollow chambers are fixedly connected to both ends of the locking seat.
[0008] The two end sidewalls of the U-shaped hollow chamber are respectively fixedly connected to an inlet pump assembly and a circulating water outlet pipe. A U-shaped air-cooled chamber is fixedly connected inside the cavity of the U-shaped hollow chamber. The bottom ends of the two ends of the U-shaped air-cooled chamber pass through the U-shaped hollow chamber and are fixedly connected to trapezoidal spray plates.

The limiting bolt is inserted into the side wall of the mounting block through the opening. The limiting bolt is fixedly connected to the side wall of the snap-fit seat. One end of the limiting bolt passes through the mounting block and is threadedly connected to the limiting nut.
[0010] Preferably, the pushing mechanism includes a cylinder, a connecting plate, a support rod, and a trapezoidal extrusion block.

The support rods at both ends pass through the side wall of the sliding chamber and are fixedly connected to the trapezoidal extrusion block. The trapezoidal extrusion block is slidably connected to the trapezoidal clamping block.
[0011] Preferably, a fan device is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cavity of the support platform, and a connecting hose is fixedly connected between the fan device and the U-shaped air-cooled chamber.
[0012] Furthermore, each of the trapezoidal clamps has an anti-slip rubber coating on its sidewall surface.
[0013] Preferably, the trapezoidal spray plate is a trapezoidal hollow plate, and the slope surface has multiple air outlets.
[0014] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:
[0015] This invention utilizes water inlet pump components and circulating water outlet pipes located at both ends of a U-shaped hollow chamber to achieve water circulation after connecting to a water source. This water-cools the laser generator and simultaneously cools the air source inside the U-shaped air-cooled chamber. The cool air is then sprayed onto the imprinting area by a trapezoidal spray plate, effectively preventing the sole from deforming due to heat.
[0016] 2. This utility model utilizes trapezoidal clamping blocks set in sliding chambers at both ends. Under the action of the pushing mechanism, the sole of the shoe can be quickly positioned and fixed to prevent it from moving during the pressing process.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] This utility model discloses a device for embossing fine surface textures on vacuum-formed shoe soles.
[0027] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4The device for embossing fine textures on the surface of a vacuum-formed shoe sole includes a support platform 1. A placement platform 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the support platform 1 through an opening. A hydraulic cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the placement platform 2. One end of the hydraulic cylinder 3 passes through the top of the placement platform 2 and is fixedly connected to an XY horizontal moving device 4. A locking seat 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the XY horizontal moving device 4. A laser generator 6 is fixedly connected to the locking seat 5 through an installation mechanism. A laser head 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the laser generator 6. U-shaped hollow chambers 8 are fixedly connected to both ends of the locking seat 5.
[0028] The U-shaped hollow chamber 8 has an inlet pump assembly 9 and a circulating water outlet pipe 10 fixedly connected to its two end side walls, respectively. A U-shaped air-cooled chamber 11 is fixedly connected inside the cavity of the U-shaped hollow chamber 8. The bottom ends of the U-shaped air-cooled chamber 11 pass through the U-shaped hollow chamber 8 and are fixedly connected to trapezoidal spray plates 12. Sliding chambers 13 are fixedly connected to the top of the placement platform 2 at both ends. U-shaped drive chambers 14 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the sliding chambers 13 at both ends. Trapezoidal clamping blocks 15 are slidably connected inside the cavity of the sliding chambers 13. A pushing mechanism that slidably connects to the trapezoidal clamping blocks 15 at both ends is provided inside the cavity of the U-shaped drive chamber 14. The hydraulic cylinder 3 facilitates height and distance adjustment of the laser device at the bottom. The XY horizontal moving device 4 facilitates movement of the laser device under control for imprinting textures. The U-shaped hollow chamber 8, through the inlet pump assembly 9 and the circulating water outlet pipe 10, allows for the flow of water through the U-shaped hollow chamber 8. Water pipe 10 is connected to a water source and circulates water to cool the laser generator 6. At the same time, it cools the air source in the U-shaped air-cooling chamber 11. Trapezoidal spray plates 12 set at the bottom of both ends of the U-shaped air-cooling chamber 11 spray out cooling air to cool the imprinted area, preventing the sole from overheating and deforming. Trapezoidal clamping blocks 15 set in sliding chambers 13 at both ends slide and extend and retract under the movement of the pushing mechanism to clamp and fix the sole, preventing the sole from moving. This solves the problem that existing vacuum forming sole surface fine texture imprinting equipment softens or even melts the sole due to overheating during processing, which seriously changes the shape of the sole and affects product quality. In addition, the lack of positioning and fixation during processing means that the impact of the laser beam and the vibration of the equipment can cause the sole to shift and deviate, resulting in asymmetry of the texture on both sides.
[0029] To facilitate the installation and disassembly of the laser generator 6, such as Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 4, the installation mechanism includes an installation port 16, an installation block 17, a limiting bolt 18, and a limiting nut 19. The side wall of the snap-fit seat 5 has an installation port 16. The top of the laser generator 6 is fixedly connected to the installation block 17. The installation block 17 is inserted into the installation port 16. The side wall of the installation block 17 has an opening through which the limiting bolt 18 is inserted. The side wall of the snap-fit seat 5 is fixedly connected to the limiting bolt 18. One end of the limiting bolt 18 passes through the installation block 17 and is threadedly connected to the limiting nut 19. By using the provided installation block 17, it is inserted into the installation port 16 and simultaneously inserted into the limiting bolt 18. After insertion, the limiting nut 19 is threadedly connected to the limiting bolt 18, thereby installing the laser generator 6 and facilitating its disassembly.
[0030] To allow the trapezoidal clamps 15 at both ends to extend, as follows: Figure 1-3 As shown, the pushing mechanism includes a cylinder 20, a connecting plate 21, a support rod 22, and a trapezoidal extrusion block 23. The cylinder 20 is fixedly connected inside the cavity of the support platform 1. One end of the cylinder 20 passes through the U-shaped drive chamber 14 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 21. The two ends of the side wall of the connecting plate 21 are fixedly connected to the support rods 22. The two end support rods 22 pass through the side wall of the sliding chamber 13 and are fixedly connected to the trapezoidal extrusion blocks 23. The trapezoidal extrusion blocks 23 are slidably connected to the trapezoidal clamping blocks 15. By using the connecting plate 21 at one end of the cylinder 20, the support rods 22 at both ends are driven to move under the push, so that the trapezoidal extrusion blocks 23 at both ends squeeze the trapezoidal clamping blocks 15, thereby causing the trapezoidal clamping blocks 15 at both ends to move and extend to position and fix the sole of the shoe.
[0031] In order to provide an air source for the U-shaped air-cooled chamber 11, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, a fan device 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cavity of the support platform 1. A connecting hose 25 is fixedly connected between the fan device 24 and the U-shaped air-cooled chamber 11. The fan device 24 and the connecting hose 25 are used to provide air source to the U-shaped air-cooled chamber 11.
[0032] To prevent the soles of the shoes from slipping, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, each trapezoidal clamp 15 has an anti-slip rubber coating on its side wall surface. The anti-slip rubber coating is used to prevent the sole of the shoe from sliding when it is positioned and fixed.
[0033] To achieve the air outlet function, such as Figure 4 As shown, the trapezoidal spray plate 12 is a trapezoidal hollow plate with multiple air outlet holes 26 on its slope. By using the trapezoidal spray plate 12, which is a trapezoidal hollow plate with multiple air outlet holes 26 on its slope, the air outlet function is achieved through the multiple air outlet holes 26.
[0034] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
