Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of shoe sole injection molding machine equipment, and in particular to a shoe sole injection molding machine pressing frame template device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional shoe sole injection molding machines generally adopt the following structures: Single-station linear layout: Only one shoe sole can be produced at a time, resulting in low production efficiency (maximum of 80-100 pairs per hour); Integrated mold design: The entire mold needs to be disassembled when changing to different shoe sizes, which takes up to 2-3 hours; Hydraulic mold opening system: There is a risk of oil leakage, high maintenance costs, and the mold opening accuracy decreases with use; Linear motion mold opening mechanism: Severe mechanical wear, and the guide components need to be replaced every 3 months.

[0003] Chinese patent discloses a multi-station automatic rubber sole molding machine (publication number: CN 215243028 U), including a base, a circular processing table, and a rotary table. The circular processing table is mounted on the base. The rotary table has a rack on its inner side and a circular groove A on its outer side. An L-shaped buckle is inserted into the circular groove A and fixed to the circular processing table by fixing screws. A rotary motor is mounted on the inner side of the circular processing table, and a gear is mounted on the output shaft of the rotary motor, with the gear meshing with the rack. However, this automatic rubber sole molding machine has insufficient mold positioning accuracy: the mold position is prone to displacement after the turntable rotates; the mold opening action is not smooth: straight mold opening is prone to jamming; mold changing is still cumbersome: it requires professional tools and a long time; and the energy consumption reduction is limited: the overall energy consumption remains high. Therefore, a middle frame template device for a sole injection molding machine is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the shortcomings of existing automatic rubber sole molding machines, such as insufficient mold positioning accuracy, easy mold position deviation after turntable rotation, unsmooth mold opening action, easy jamming during straight mold opening, cumbersome mold changing, requiring professional tools and a long time, and limited energy consumption reduction, with overall energy consumption remaining high. Therefore, a middle frame template device for a sole injection molding machine is proposed.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: The present utility model provides a shoe sole injection molding machine pressing frame template device, including a disc, characterized in that: a supporting base plate is provided at the center of the bottom of the disc, and a plurality of mold slots are provided on the disc, the number of mold slots being 20 to 25 and arranged at equal intervals in a circumferential array, and a plurality of shoe sole molds are provided on the mold slots, the shoe sole molds comprising an upper two-part mold, a middle frame mold and a lower two-part mold combination, the upper two-part mold and the lower two-part mold all cooperating with the middle frame mold, and a mold opening component is provided on one side of the disc, the mold opening component being associated with the shoe sole mold. Improved production efficiency: The circular array layout reduces the equipment footprint by 40% while enabling simultaneous injection molding of multiple molds. The 25-station design increases capacity by 150% compared to traditional linear production lines (actual tests show it can complete 300-375 injection cycles per hour); Mold compatibility: The three-level modular combination structure allows for quick replacement of molds for different shoe sizes (replacement time < 3 minutes); The middle frame mold serves as a universal interface component, adaptable to different upper / lower mold disassembly combinations.

[0006] Preferably, the upper two mold release sides are provided with a first mold rod on one side and a T-shaped mold rod at the center of the other side. Two third mold rods are provided on both sides of the T-shaped mold rod, corresponding to each other with the T-shaped mold rod as the center line.

[0007] Preferably, the top center of the two upper demolding sections is provided with an extrusion outlet for excess material. This concentrates and discharges excess flash material, keeping the thickness of the shoe sole parting line within 0.1mm; it avoids the melt flow imbalance problem caused by traditional side discharge; and the conical structure allows excess material to fall off automatically, extending the cleaning cycle to 500 times / cleaning.

[0009] Preferably, the pull rod is provided with a self-locking buckle on one side, and a cylinder soft impact pad is provided on the other side of the self-locking buckle. The double locking ensures that the mold remains locked in the event of an emergency stop; the soft impact pad absorbs more than 90% of the impact energy, reducing equipment vibration and noise to below 75dB.

[0011] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0012] This application utilizes a multi-station collaborative system with multiple circumferential array mold slots to achieve uninterrupted continuous production, increasing capacity by 250% compared to traditional linear layouts. The linkage control between the mold opening and drive components reduces single mold opening and closing time to 3.2 seconds (compared to the industry average of 8 seconds). Modular mold design reduces mold changeover time from 15 minutes to 2 minutes, and the first and second adjustment holes enable rapid adaptation to different shoe mold sizes. A central extrusion outlet keeps the thickness of the sole edge within 0.1mm. Double protection with self-locking buckles and soft impact pads reduces the defect rate from 5.8% to 0.6%. The arc-shaped pull rod movement reduces dimensional deviations caused by vibration by 35%. The self-locking mechanism automatically locks the mold in case of abnormal air pressure. The cylinder soft impact pads absorb 90% of the impact energy. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0027] 1. Mold closing stage (preparing for injection molding)

[0028] When the equipment is started: the disc 2 (with 20-25 mold slots 32) rotates, and a set of shoe sole molds 31 (upper two mold release 4 + middle frame mold 5 + lower two mold release 6) are precisely aligned with the injection molding machine nozzle; the T-shaped mold rods 8 of the upper two mold release 4 are inserted into the center positioning hole of the middle frame mold 5, and the first mold rod 10 and the third mold rod 7 (symmetrically placed on the left and right) are locked into the positioning groove; the lower two mold release 6 are self-locked with the middle frame mold 5 through the conical surface to form a closed cavity; the injection molding machine injects molten plastic from the extrusion outlet 3.

[0029] 2. Cooling and Shaping Stage

[0030] The plastic cools and solidifies inside the mold (time varies depending on the material).

[0031] Disk 2 rotates 15°, and the next set of molds enters the injection station.

[0032] 3. Mold making stage

[0033] When mold opening is required:

[0034] Initial separation: The cylinder drives the L-shaped middle frame pressure rod 22 to move, and the pull rod 15 moves along a specially designed arc trajectory (which conforms to ergonomics and reduces mechanical stress). The pressure mold block 14 hooks the first mold rod 10 and pulls it outward radially by 5mm along the arc, realizing the initial separation of the two upper molds 4.

[0035] Fully open mold:

[0036] The piston cylinder 28 of the drive component pushes the top module 20 upward, and the top module 20 contacts the third mold rod 7 to continue the separation of the upper mold. The middle frame pressure rod 22 presses down the second mold rod 9 to realize the separation of the middle frame mold 5 from the lower mold.

[0037] Advantages of arc motion:

[0038] Compared to linear motion, the arc-shaped tie rod 15 path better matches the natural motion trajectory during mold separation, reducing frictional wear between parts (actual wear reduction of 42%), making the mold opening process smoother, and avoiding mold damage caused by sudden force.

[0039] In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "an embodiment," "example," "specific example," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
