Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold technology, specifically to a shoe outsole mold. Background Technology
[0002] Shoe sole molds are specialized tools used for mass production of shoe soles. They are formed by injecting or pressing molten or softened materials (such as rubber, EVA, PU, etc.) into the mold cavity, and then cooling or solidifying them to create a shoe sole of a specific shape.
[0003] When using solid materials for the existing outsole mold, workers need to take a piece of pre-cut material from the material box, put it into the mold, and then use a press to hot press it. After hot pressing, the outsole is removed and then the material is re-loaded. This process requires workers to frequently manually pick up and put out materials, which is inefficient and labor-intensive. In addition, because the temperature is high after hot pressing, workers feel uncomfortable when putting out materials. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a shoe sole mold to solve the technical problem of requiring workers to frequently load and unload materials.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a shoe outsole mold, comprising a mold, a first rotating rod rotatably connected to one side of the mold, a rotating plate rotatably connected to one end of the first rotating rod, a receiving groove provided on the rotating plate, a lifting plate slidably connected inside the receiving groove, a rotating roller rotatably connected to the top of the rotating plate, a first sprocket fixedly connected to one end of the rotating roller, a second sprocket provided on one side of the first sprocket, and a chain provided between the first sprocket and the second sprocket, a first gear fixedly connected to one side of the second sprocket, and a linkage mechanism movably connected to the first gear.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the opening and closing action of the rotating plate is realized through the hinge of the rotating plate and the first rotating rod, which simplifies the manual operation process and reduces the risk of workers directly contacting the high-temperature mold.
[0007] Furthermore, the linkage mechanism includes a first link and a second link, one end of the first link has a groove, and a second gear is fixedly connected inside the groove.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the linkage mechanism adopts a split design, consisting of a first linkage and a second linkage. The second gear is embedded in the groove to enhance the stability of power transmission and avoid jamming caused by gear disengagement.
[0009] Furthermore, the second gear meshes with the first gear, and one end of both the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are rotatably connected to the rotating plate.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the meshing of the second gear with the first gear ensures that power is accurately transmitted from the sprocket system to the rotating roller, avoiding energy loss.
[0011] Furthermore, a crossbar is provided on one side of the mold, and the other ends of the crossbar and the first connecting rod are rotatably connected to the second connecting rod.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the crossbar and the linkage mechanism form a parallelogram linkage structure, which ensures that the rotating plate always moves in parallel during the pushing process, ensuring the straightness of the material pushing path and avoiding the material falling out of the mold due to angular deviation.
[0013] Furthermore, a spring is provided between the bottom of the lifting plate and the top of the receiving groove, and several springs are provided, with the springs arranged in a rectangular structure.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the multiple springs in the rectangular array provide uniform elastic force, so that the lifting plate is balanced when lifting the material, and the material is prevented from tilting or getting stuck in the receiving groove.
[0015] Furthermore, an outlet groove is provided on the front side of the rotating plate, and an obliquely arranged guide plate is fixedly connected below the outlet groove.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the combined design of the outlet groove and the inclined guide plate utilizes gravity to automatically guide the material into the mold cavity, reducing the difficulty of manual alignment.
[0017] Furthermore, sliding frames are slidably connected to the bottom of both sides of the guide plate, and a horizontal plate is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the sliding frame, with a slot provided on the horizontal plate.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding connection between the sliding frame and the horizontal plate allows the material drop point to be changed by adjusting the position of the sliding plate laterally, thus adapting to mold cavities of different sizes and overcoming the limitations of fixed drop points.
[0019] Furthermore, a sliding plate is slidably connected inside the sliding frame, and mounting blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the sliding plate. A locking post is slidably connected inside the mounting block.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the combination of the sliding plate, the mounting block, and the locking post enables quick locking and unlocking of the sliding plate position. The operation is simple and adjustment can be completed without additional tools.
[0021] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0022] This utility model incorporates a mold, a first rotating rod, a rotating plate, a receiving groove, a lifting plate, and a rotating roller. The receiving groove and the lifting plate use springs to lift the material, ensuring it is tightly pressed against the rotating roller and thus guaranteeing stable material feeding. The rotating plate and sprocket drive convert manual pushing into the rolling power of the rotating roller. A one-way bearing controls the rotation direction, automatically pushing the material out of the outlet groove. A parallelogram linkage mechanism maintains the translational movement of the rotating plate, guiding the material to slide precisely into the mold. This design avoids manual contact with the high-temperature mold, improving operational safety and efficiency.
[0023] This utility model incorporates a sliding frame, a horizontal plate, a slot, a sliding plate, a mounting block, and a locking post. The sliding frame and sliding plate allow for lateral sliding adjustment of the guide plate's extension length, precisely controlling the material's falling position and adapting to different mold cavities. The locking post and slot quickly lock the sliding plate through elastic engagement, ensuring a stable landing point after adjustment and preventing material deviation. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0030] Example 1:
[0031] A shoe sole mold, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the device includes a mold 1, a first rotating rod 2 rotatably connected to one side of the mold 1, a rotating plate 3 rotatably connected to one end of the first rotating rod 2, a receiving groove 4 on the rotating plate 3, a lifting plate 5 slidably connected inside the receiving groove 4, a rotating roller 6 rotatably connected to the top of the rotating plate 3, a first sprocket 7 fixedly connected to one end of the rotating roller 6, a second sprocket 8 on one side of the first sprocket 7, and a chain between the first sprocket 7 and the second sprocket 8, a first gear 9 fixedly connected to one side of the second sprocket 8, and a linkage mechanism 10 movably connected to the first gear 9. The sprocket transmission system, including the combination of the first sprocket 7, the second sprocket 8, the chain, and the first gear 9, converts the mechanical energy of manually pushing the rotating plate into the rolling power of the rotating roller 6, realizing automatic material pushing, replacing the traditional manual material placement method, and improving efficiency.
[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The linkage mechanism 10 includes a first link 101 and a second link 102. One end of the first link 101 is provided with a groove 103. A second gear 104 is fixedly connected inside the groove 103. The split linkage structure is convenient for maintenance and replacement. If a link is damaged, it can be disassembled separately, reducing maintenance costs.
[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second gear 104 meshes with the first gear 9. One end of the first connecting rod 101 and the second connecting rod 102 are rotatably connected to the rotating plate 3. The first connecting rod 101 and the second connecting rod 102 are rotatably connected to the rotating plate 3, forming a multi-support linkage structure. When the rotating plate moves, it maintains the overall rigidity of the equipment and prevents the material from shifting due to mechanical vibration during the pushing process.
[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A crossbar 11 is provided on one side of the mold 1. The other ends of the crossbar 11, the first connecting rod 101, and the second connecting rod 102 are rotatably connected. The crossbar 11 serves as a fixed fulcrum, enhancing the overall structural strength of the equipment and extending its service life.
[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A spring 12 is provided between the bottom of the lifting plate 5 and the top of the receiving groove 4. Several springs 12 are provided, and the springs 12 are arranged in a rectangular structure. The elastic buffer design of the springs 12 can adapt to materials of different thicknesses, reduce the equipment adjustment requirements caused by material size differences, and improve compatibility.
[0036] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the worker puts the cut solid material pieces into the receiving groove 4 in advance. At this time, the lifting plate 5 lifts the material upward under the elastic force of the bottom spring 12, so that it is close to the bottom of the rotating roller 6. The rotating roller 6 and the rotating plate 3 use a one-way bearing from a bicycle, so that it will only rotate in one direction. The spring 12 adopts a rectangular array layout to ensure that the material is evenly stressed and avoids skewing.
[0037] When feeding is required, by holding the handle 21 on one side, the rotating plate 3 is pushed to move. The first rotating rod 2 and the rotating plate 3 rotate relative to each other, driving the first sprocket 7 to drive the second sprocket 8 through the chain, which in turn drives the first gear 9 to rotate. The first gear 9 meshes with the second gear 104, transmitting power to the rotating roller 6, causing it to roll and push the material out of the outlet trough 13.
[0038] The linkage mechanism 10, which includes the first link 101 and the second link 102, the crossbar 11 and the rotating plate 3, forms a parallelogram linkage to ensure that the equipment can achieve reliable translational movement and that the material can reliably fall into the mold 1.
[0039] The material slides into the mold through the guide plate 14. The guide plate adopts an inclined structure and uses gravity to ensure that the material slides down.
[0040] Once the material is in place, the mold automatically closes for hot pressing. After completion, the worker removes the finished shoe sole. When the equipment resets, the rotating roller 6 stops rotating due to the one-way bearing structure, and the lifting plate 5 pushes up another material under the action of the spring, waiting for the next round of feeding.
[0041] Example 2:
[0042] See Figure 4 An outlet groove 13 is provided on the front side of the rotating plate 3. An inclined guide plate 14 is fixedly connected below the outlet groove 13. The tilt angle of the guide plate 14 can accelerate the material sliding speed, shorten the feeding cycle, and improve production efficiency.
[0043] See Figure 4 The bottom sides of the guide plate 14 are slidably connected to the sliding frame 15, and the bottom side of the sliding frame 15 is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 16. The horizontal plate 16 is provided with a slot 17, which provides a reference positioning point for the sliding frame 15 to ensure that the position of the adjusted sliding plate 18 is fixed and to prevent the equipment from shifting due to vibration during operation.
[0044] See Figure 4 The sliding frame 15 has a sliding plate 18 inside, and mounting blocks 19 are fixedly connected to both sides of the sliding plate 18. The mounting blocks 19 have a locking post 20 inside, and the cooperation between the locking post 20 and the locking groove 17 ensures the stability of the fixation and avoids structural wear caused by frequent adjustment, thus extending the service life of the equipment.
[0045] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the sliding plate 18 is horizontally adjusted by the sliding frame 15 to change the material landing point and ensure that it falls accurately into the mold cavity. The locking post 20 and the locking groove 17 cooperate to fix the position of the sliding plate to adapt to the needs of molds of different sizes.
