[0022] This invention provides the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the various embodiments of the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to aid understanding, but these details should be considered exemplary only. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] It should be understood that when one element (e.g., the first element) is “connected” to another element (e.g., the second element), the element may be directly connected to the other element, or there may be an intervening element (e.g., the third element) between the element and the other element.

[0025] An embodiment of this utility model provides a shoe sole mold with an automatic locking structure, such as... Figure 1-5 As shown, the device includes an upper mold 101, a lower mold 102, and a 3D-printed molding insert 103 detachably fixed to the lower mold 102. The lower mold 102 has an insert groove for placing the molding insert 103. The front sides of the upper mold 101 and the lower mold 102 are connected by a hinge structure 105. The rear sides of the upper mold 101 and the lower mold 102 are provided with an automatic locking structure 2. The lower mold 102 and the molding insert 103 are provided with venting grooves 3. A positioning component 4 is provided between the upper mold 101 and the lower mold 102.

[0026] Specifically, the molding insert 103 is fixed to the insert groove of the lower mold 102 by screws and other fixing structures. The molding insert 103 of the mold is 3D printed. Compared with the traditional casting insert, the molding insert 103 has a smooth texture, high precision, and good molding effect. The molding insert 103 can be easily replaced and maintained, reducing the wear of the overall mold and improving the durability of the mold. The design of the venting groove 3 allows gas to be effectively discharged during molding, reducing air bubbles and defects in the footwear and improving the quality of the footwear. The upper mold 101 is connected to the lower mold 102 via a hinge structure 105. When the mold is closed, it is automatically locked by an automatic locking structure 2. The structure is simple and convenient, effectively preventing the mold from opening during processing. When the mold is opened, it can also be automatically unlocked with the mold opening action. The automatic locking structure 2 is flexible, reduces operation steps, and improves production efficiency. The hinge structure 105 takes into account both connection and positioning functions. The positioning component 4 is used to position the upper mold 101 and the lower mold 102, so that the upper mold 101 and the lower mold 102 are aligned, improving the accuracy of the shoe.

[0027] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the upper mold 101 and the lower mold 102 are both provided with covering blocks 5 on the hinge structure 105 side and the automatic locking structure 2 side.

[0028] Specifically, the covering block 5 is placed on the corner side of the mold. By covering the edge of the mold with a metal covering block 5, which has high strength and hardness, the overall strength and pressure resistance of the mold can be effectively enhanced, making it less prone to deformation or damage during high-pressure molding and extending the service life of the mold.

[0029] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the automatic locking structure 2 includes a fixed seat 201 disposed on the outside of the lower mold 102, a rotating seat 202 disposed on the outside of the upper mold 101, and an L-shaped lock 203 screwed to the rotating seat 202 for engaging with the fixed seat 201.

[0030] Specifically, during mold closing, the L-shaped latch 203 rotates on the rotating seat 202 manually or by a drive mechanism, so that the lower opening width of the L-shaped latch 203 is wider than that of the fixed seat 201, thereby locking downwards into the fixed seat 201 or other recessed structures to fix the upper mold 101 and the lower mold 102; during mold opening, the L-shaped latch 203 rotates on the rotating seat 202, so that the lower side of the L-shape moves away from the fixed seat 201, thereby separating the upper mold 101 and the lower mold 102.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-4As shown, the lower part of the L-shaped latch 203 near the fixed base 201 has a first guide surface 204, and the upper part of the fixed base 201 near the first guide surface 204 has a second guide surface 205 that cooperates with the first guide surface 204. When the mold is closed, the first guide surface 204 and the second guide surface 205 slide relative to each other. The first guide surface 204 and the second guide surface 205 are used to guide the L-shaped latch 203 to rotate outward and automatically latch onto the bottom of the fixed base 201.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, during mold closing, the L-shaped latch 203 is pressed down by the upper mold 101. The first guide surface 204 of the L-shaped latch 203 abuts against and slides relative to the second guide surface 205 of the fixed seat 201. Guided by the first guide surface 204, the L-shaped latch 203 gradually rotates outward until the opening is wider than the fixed seat 201. Then it moves downward to the fixed seat 201. When it moves to the bottom of the fixed seat 201, the L-shaped latch 203 is automatically engaged by rotating the seat 202.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-2 As shown in Figures 4-5, a loop handle 206 for separating the L-shaped latch 203 and the fixing seat 201 is fixed on the outside of the L-shaped latch 203.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the design of the spiral handle 206 allows the L-shaped latch 203 and the fixing seat 201 to be separated when the mold is opened, and the upper mold 101 and the lower mold 102 can be opened at the same time without the need for additional unlocking action, which is highly convenient.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the positioning component 4 includes a mold stop 401 disposed on the upper mold 101 and a mold stop groove 402 disposed on the lower mold 102 that matches the mold stop 401.

[0036] In practice, the mold stop 401 is set on the left and right sides and the middle of the rear side of the mold to prevent the upper and lower molds from moving in the front-back and left-right directions during the molding process, thereby ensuring the dimensional accuracy and consistency of the molded product.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the positioning component 4 includes a die pin 403 disposed on the lower die 102 and a die sleeve 404 disposed on the upper die 101 that matches the die pin 403.

[0038] The mold pin 403 plays a positioning and guiding role in the mold, making it easy for the mold to maintain the correct position and angle during assembly and use. The mold pin 403 can also serve as a support point to bear part of the weight of the mold, preventing the mold from deforming or being damaged during use, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the mold.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the venting groove 3 includes a first venting groove 301 and a second venting groove 302 horizontally arranged on the lower mold 102 and the forming insert 103. The horizontally arranged venting groove 3 facilitates venting and is easy to process.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, both the first venting groove 301 and the second venting groove 302 include, in sequence, a first horizontal groove 303 located on the left side of the lower mold 102, a second horizontal groove 304 located on the left side of the molding insert 103, a third horizontal groove 305 located in the middle of the molding insert 103, a fourth horizontal groove 306 located on the right side of the molding insert 103, and a fifth horizontal groove 307 located on the right side of the lower mold 102. The first horizontal groove 303, the second horizontal groove 304, the third horizontal groove 305, the fourth horizontal groove 306, and the fifth horizontal groove 307 are connected in sequence to facilitate venting.

[0041] In some embodiments, the molded insert 103 is formed by aluminum alloy powder printing. The molded insert 103 formed by aluminum alloy powder printing is lightweight and has a cost advantage.

[0042] The terms and words used in the foregoing description and claims are not limited to their literal meaning, but are merely used by the applicant to enable a clear and consistent understanding of the present invention. Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that the foregoing description of various embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and not intended to limit the present invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
