Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sports shoes production, and relates to a knitted sports shoes vamp setting machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing requirement of consumers on the comfort and appearance of sports shoes, knitted materials are widely used in the manufacture of sports shoes vamp because of their lightness, breathability and good elasticity, however, knitted materials are prone to deformation in the forming process, and therefore special setting equipment is needed to ensure their shape stability and appearance quality.

[0003] The working steps of the existing knitted sports shoes vamp setting machine are usually as follows: placing the vamp on the hot-pressing die seat, pressing and heating the vamp with the hot-pressing die head to soften it, manually taking out the heated and softened vamp and placing it on the cooling die seat, and pressing and cooling the vamp with the cooling die head to set it, and taking out the vamp after the cooling setting is completed, so that the setting work of one vamp needs four times of manual placing and taking out operations, which is complicated and high in labor cost, and there is a risk of scalding when the heated and softened vamp is manually taken out. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0004] The utility model aims at the above problems existing in the prior art and provides a knitted sports shoes vamp setting machine capable of automatically switching between heating and cooling.

[0005] The utility model can be realized by the following technical scheme:

[0006] A knitted sports shoes vamp setting machine comprises a workbench, a die seat, a hot die assembly, a cold die assembly and a control panel, characterized in that a support frame is arranged on the workbench, the hot die assembly and the cold die assembly are connected to the support frame and arranged side by side, the control panel is arranged on the front side of the workbench, a moving assembly is further arranged on the workbench, the moving assembly comprises a motor, a lead screw, a guide rod and a sliding block, the lead screw is rotatably connected to the workbench, the guide rod is fixedly connected to the workbench and parallel to the lead screw, the motor is fixedly connected to the outer side of the workbench and transmissionally connected to the lead screw, the sliding block is threadedly connected to the lead screw and slidably connected to the guide rod, and the die seat is connected above the sliding block and further provided with a clamping assembly at the lower part.

[0007] The knitting sports shoes vamp shaping machine is characterized in that: the vamp is shaped by the cooperation of the mold base and the hot mold assembly and the cold mold assembly; the vamp to be processed is placed on the mold base and clamped and fixed by the clamping assembly; the vamp is heated and softened by the compression of the hot mold assembly and the mold base; the heated and softened vamp is automatically moved to the lower side of the cold mold assembly by the moving assembly; then the vamp is cooled and shaped by the compression of the cold mold assembly and the mold base; the working principle of the moving assembly is that the motor drives the rotation of the lead screw, drives the axial movement of the sliding block along the guide rod, and drives the movement of the mold base connected to the sliding block; the operation and operation parameters of the hot mold assembly, the cold mold assembly, the clamping assembly and the moving assembly are controlled and adjusted by the control panel, and the heated vamp does not need to be manually transferred to the cold mold assembly, which is more efficient and avoids the risk of scalding.
