Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insole manufacturing equipment, and more particularly to a multi-station insole manufacturing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The raw materials for PU insoles include polyurethane liquid, hardener, pigments, etc. In the production of PU insoles, these raw materials need to be mixed and stirred to obtain a slurry, which is then poured into a mold and left to cool and solidify to obtain the PU insole.

[0003] In existing technologies, after the raw materials for insoles are injected into the mold, it is necessary to wait for a period of time before the mold can be opened. During the waiting period, the mold is usually moved to the waiting area manually or mechanically. After the finished product is removed, the mold is put back in its original position for injection. This process is inefficient and has high equipment costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above technical problems, this utility model provides a multi-station insole manufacturing device.

[0005] Other features and advantages of this disclosure will become apparent from the following detailed description, or may be learned in part from practice of this disclosure.

[0006] A multi-station insole manufacturing apparatus includes a circulating production line, carriers, molds, an injection assembly, and a robot. The circulating production line drives multiple carriers to circulate. Multiple molds are respectively mounted on multiple carriers. Each carrier has an injection port. The injection assembly includes an injection gun and a cylinder for driving the injection gun to rise and fall. The injection gun is connected to a feed tank via a solenoid valve. The feed tank stores molten insole raw materials. The robot is positioned on one side of the circulating production line and is used to open the mold that has been injected by the injection assembly and has completed one cycle along the circulating production line, and to remove the insole product from it.

[0007] Furthermore, the circulating production line includes two upper guide rails, two lower guide rails, and a chain connecting the two upper guide rails and the two lower guide rails. The carrier is fixed to the chain, and a gear driven by a motor is provided on one side of the chain. The gear meshes with the chain to drive the chain to move.

[0008] Furthermore, there are gaps in both upper guide rails and both lower guide rails. The chain is provided with freely rotatable limiting wheels at the top, bottom and both sides. The limiting wheel at the top is located in the gap between the two upper guide rails, the limiting wheel at the bottom is located in the gap between the two lower guide rails, and the limiting wheels on both sides are located in the gap between the two upper guide rails and the two lower guide rails.

[0009] The technical solution disclosed herein has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] The mold is circulated and rotated by a circulating production line, and the mold is allowed to cool down during the circulation. The whole process can be carried out automatically, with a simple structure and continuous injection process, resulting in high efficiency and low cost. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0016] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown in the embodiment of this specification, a multi-station insole manufacturing apparatus is provided, including a circulating production line 1, carriers 2, molds 3, an injection assembly 4, and a robot 5. The circulating production line 1 is used to drive multiple carriers 2 to circulate. There are multiple molds 3, which are respectively set on multiple carriers 2. The carriers 2 have injection ports. The injection assembly 4 includes an injection gun 41 and a cylinder 42 that drives the injection gun 41 to rise and fall. The injection gun 41 is connected to a feeding tank through a solenoid valve. The feeding tank stores molten insole raw materials. The robot 5 is set on one side of the circulating production line 1. It is used to open the molds 3 that have been injected by the injection assembly 4 and have flowed around the circulating production line 1 once, and to take out the insole products inside.

[0017] The circulating production line 1 includes two upper guide rails 11, two lower guide rails 12, and a chain 13 between the two upper guide rails 11 and the lower guide rails 12. The carrier 2 is fixed on the chain 13. A gear 15 driven by a motor 16 is provided on one side of the chain 13. The gear 15 meshes with the chain 13 to drive the chain 13 to move.

[0018] There are gaps in both upper guide rails 11 and both lower guide rails 12. The chain 13 is equipped with freely rotating limit wheels 14 at the top, bottom and both sides. The limit wheel 14 at the top is located in the gap between the two upper guide rails 11, the limit wheel 14 at the bottom is located in the gap between the two lower guide rails 12, and the limit wheels 14 on both sides are located in the gap between the two upper guide rails 11 and the two lower guide rails 12.

[0019] Working principle: Motor 16 drives gear 15 to rotate. Since gear 15 meshes with chain 13, it drives chain 13 to rotate cyclically between upper guide rail 11 and lower guide rail 12. Upper guide rail 11 and lower guide rail 12 can form an arc. Since carrier 2 is fixed to chain 13, mold 3 circulates. When mold 3 comes to the bottom of injection gun 41, cylinder 42 drives injection gun 41 to descend. Injection gun 41 is inserted into the inlet of mold 3 to start injection. After cylinder 42 rises, motor 16 continues to rotate, driving mold 3 to circulate. When mold 3 comes to the bottom of robot arm 5 and stops, robot arm 5 opens mold 3. Mold 3 can be openable, i.e., a hinged structure on one side. After robot arm 5 opens mold 3, it takes away the product and closes mold 3. The speed of motor 16 should be calculated so that the time when robot arm 5 picks up the material is exactly the time when mold 3 has cooled down.

[0020] Beneficial effects:

[0021] The circulating production line 1 drives the mold 3 to circulate and rotate. During the circulation, the mold 3 waits for cooling. Multiple stations circulate and the whole process can be carried out automatically. The structure is simple and the injection process does not stop, which is efficient and low-cost.
