Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of fully automatic transfer machines, and specifically relates to a fully automatic transfer machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the shoe insole manufacturing industry, printing is a crucial step in enhancing product aesthetics and added value. Traditional shoe insole printing processes rely heavily on manual operation, including steps such as insole loading, positioning, printing, and material collection. This process is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient, failing to meet the demands of modern production for high efficiency and precision. Manual operation is also prone to introducing errors, such as inaccurate insole positioning and printed pattern misalignment, affecting the consistency of product quality.

[0003] Furthermore, with the increasing demand for personalized insoles, traditional manual printing methods are particularly cumbersome when dealing with small-batch, multi-variety orders, making it difficult to quickly adjust production lines to adapt to market changes. At the same time, prolonged manual operation can easily lead to worker fatigue, further increasing the risk of operational errors. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fully automatic transfer printing machine, aiming to solve the problem that, with the increasing demand for personalized insoles from consumers, traditional manual printing methods are particularly cumbersome in handling small-batch, multi-variety orders, making it difficult to quickly adjust production lines to adapt to market changes. At the same time, prolonged manual operation can easily lead to worker fatigue, further increasing the risk of operational errors.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fully automatic transfer printing machine, including a frame, a control cabinet mounted on one side of the frame, a transfer table connected to one side of the control cabinet, and the bottom side of the transfer table mounted on the surface of the frame.

[0006] A feeding mechanism is installed on the frame surface at the front end of the control cabinet. A receiving mechanism is provided on the side of the transfer table away from the feeding mechanism. The bottom of the receiving mechanism is installed on the frame surface. A set of arrangement racks is installed on both sides of the top shell of the control cabinet near the receiving mechanism. A picking mechanism is provided on one side of the top shell of the control cabinet. A positioning mechanism is provided at the lower end of the picking mechanism.

[0007] To achieve automatic feeding of insoles to be printed, as a preferred fully automatic transfer printing machine of this utility model, the feeding mechanism consists of a cam divider, a Z-shaped frame, and a material carrier. The output end of the cam divider is connected to the bottom of the Z-shaped frame. A first stepper motor is installed on the bottom of each side of the Z-shaped frame. The output end of the first stepper motor is connected to a first belt. The other end of the first belt is sleeved on a first driven wheel. One side of the first driven wheel is installed on the outer wall of the top of the Z-shaped frame. A material carrier is installed on the first belt.

[0008] The input end of the cam divider is connected to a reduction gearbox, and the input end of the reduction gearbox is connected to a reduction motor.

[0009] In order to collect the printed insoles, as a preferred fully automatic transfer machine of this utility model, the collecting mechanism consists of a base plate, a second driven wheel, a second belt and a linear reduction motor. The second driven wheel is installed on the outer wall of one side of the base plate, and the second belt is sleeved on the outer wall of the second driven wheel. The other end of the second belt is sleeved on the output end of the linear reduction motor.

[0010] A docking block is installed on the second belt. A linkage frame is connected to one side of the docking block. A receiving plate is installed on the surface of the linkage frame. One side of the receiving plate is in movable contact with the inner wall of the guide plate. The bottom of the guide plate is installed on the surface of the base plate. Two limiting rods are respectively provided on both sides of the receiving plate. The bottom of the limiting rods is threaded to the surface of the base plate.

[0011] In order to achieve automatic picking and printing of insoles, as a preferred fully automatic transfer machine of this utility model, the material picking mechanism is composed of an adjustable cylinder, a linear guide rail, a slider and a first three-axis cylinder. The telescopic end of the adjustable cylinder is located above the transfer table. One side of the adjustable cylinder is connected to the linear guide rail, the other side of the linear guide rail is connected to the slider, and one side of the slider is connected to the first three-axis cylinder.

[0012] A second stepper motor is installed on one side of the linear guide rail. A third belt is sleeved on the rotating end of the second stepper motor. The other end of the third belt is sleeved on the third driven wheel. One side of the third driven wheel is installed on the linear guide rail. One side of the slider is fixed on the third belt. A pneumatic suction claw is installed on each side of the first three-axis cylinder.

[0013] In order to center the insole placed on the transfer table, as a preferred fully automatic transfer machine of this utility model, the positioning mechanism consists of a small motor, a lead screw, a mounting frame, and a second and third-axis cylinder. The small motor is installed on the outer wall of the transfer table, and the output end of the small motor is connected to the lead screw.

[0014] The telescopic end of the second and third axis cylinders is connected to a cylinder, and a gripper is installed on one side of the cylinder.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] The insoles to be printed are pre-placed on the material carrier of the feeding mechanism. Then, the rotation of the first belt drives the material carrier to move upward, so that the material carrier can position the insoles at the top. The adjustable cylinder moves upward, causing the pneumatic suction claw to rise. Then, when the slider moves to the right, it can drive the pneumatic suction claw to move. The adjustable cylinder then moves downward, thereby causing the pneumatic suction claw to contact the insoles on the transfer table and the material carrier. At this time, the two pneumatic suction claws will work to pick up the insoles on the transfer table and the material carrier respectively.

[0017] Next, the adjustable cylinder rises again, and then the slider moves to the left. The pneumatic suction claw on the left grabs the printed insole and places it on the receiving mechanism, while the pneumatic suction claw on the right places the insole to be processed on the transfer table.

[0018] When the insole to be processed is placed on the transfer table, the two grippers on the positioning mechanism will gather the insole to the bottom of the adjustable cylinder's telescopic end. When the telescopic end of the adjustable cylinder moves downward, it will press the printing material placed at its bottom onto the insole. At the same time, the downward movement of the telescopic end of the adjustable cylinder will also drive the pneumatic suction claw to move downward through the linear guide rail to complete the suction of the insole, thus completing one cycle operation.

[0019] In summary, the above structure enables automated operation of insole printing in practical use, thereby effectively improving overall work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Please see Figure 1-10The present invention provides the following technical solution: a fully automatic transfer machine, including a frame 1, a control cabinet 2 installed on one side of the frame 1, a transfer table 3 connected to one side of the control cabinet 2, and the bottom side of the transfer table 3 installed on the surface of the frame 1.

[0034] A feeding mechanism 4 is installed on the surface of the frame 1 at the front end of the control cabinet 2. A receiving mechanism 5 is set on the side of the transfer table 3 away from the feeding mechanism 4. The bottom of the receiving mechanism 5 is installed on the surface of the frame 1. A set of arrangement racks 6 are installed on both sides of the top shell of the control cabinet 2 near the receiving mechanism 5. A picking mechanism 7 is set on one side of the top shell of the control cabinet 2. A positioning mechanism 8 is set at the lower end of the picking mechanism 7.

[0035] The automated components in this technical solution are all uniformly controlled by the program inside the control cabinet 2.

[0036] Preferably, the feeding mechanism 4 consists of a cam divider 43, a Z-shaped frame 44, and a material carrier 48. The output end of the cam divider 43 is connected to the bottom of the Z-shaped frame 44. A first stepper motor 45 is installed on the bottom of each side of the Z-shaped frame 44. The output end of the first stepper motor 45 is connected to a first belt 46. The other end of the first belt 46 is sleeved on a first driven wheel 47. One side of the first driven wheel 47 is installed on the outer wall of the top of the Z-shaped frame 44. The material carrier 48 is installed on the first belt 46.

[0037] The input end of the cam divider 43 is connected to a reduction gearbox 42, and the input end of the reduction gearbox 42 is connected to a reduction motor 41.

[0038] In practical use, the output end of the geared motor 41 drives the cam divider 43 to work through the gearbox 42. When the cam divider 43 works, it will drive the Z-shaped frame 44 to rotate, so that the material rack 48 on the Z-shaped frame 44 can rotate to a position close to the transfer table 3 as needed.

[0039] In addition, when the first step motor 45 on the Z-shaped frame 44 rotates, it will drive the first belt 46 to move. When the first belt 46 moves, it will drive the material carrier 48 to move, thereby realizing the adjustment of the placement height of the insole to be processed.

[0040] Preferably, the receiving mechanism 5 consists of a base plate 51, a second driven wheel 52, a second belt 53 and a linear reduction motor 54. The second driven wheel 52 is installed on the outer wall of one side of the base plate 51, and the second belt 53 is sleeved on the outer wall of the second driven wheel 52. The other end of the second belt 53 is sleeved on the output end of the linear reduction motor 54.

[0041] A docking block 55 is installed on the second belt 53. A linkage frame 56 is connected to one side of the docking block 55. A receiving plate 57 is installed on the surface of the linkage frame 56. One side of the receiving plate 57 is in contact with the inner wall of the guide plate 58. The bottom of the guide plate 58 is installed on the surface of the base plate 51. Two limiting rods 59 are respectively provided on both sides of the receiving plate 57. The bottom of the limiting rods 59 is threaded to the surface of the base plate 51.

[0042] In practical use, when the linear reduction motor 54 is working, it will drive the second belt 53 to move. When the second belt 53 moves, it will drive the docking block 55 to move. When the docking block 55 moves, it will drive the receiving plate 57 to move through the linkage frame 56. In this way, the printed insole can be kept at a suitable height through this structure, so as to meet the placement requirements of the next insole.

[0043] When the receiving plate 57 moves downward, it is restricted by the guide plate 58 and the limit rod 59, which keeps the movement trajectory of the receiving plate 57 stable.

[0044] Preferably, the material handling mechanism 7 is composed of an adjustable cylinder 71, a linear guide rail 72, a slider 76 and a first three-axis cylinder 77. The telescopic end of the adjustable cylinder 71 is located above the transfer table 3. One side of the adjustable cylinder 71 is connected to the linear guide rail 72, the other side of the linear guide rail 72 is connected to the slider 76, and one side of the slider 76 is connected to the first three-axis cylinder 77.

[0045] A second stepper motor 73 is mounted on one side of the linear guide rail 72. A third belt 74 is sleeved on the rotating end of the second stepper motor 73. The other end of the third belt 74 is sleeved on the third driven wheel 75. One side of the third driven wheel 75 is mounted on the linear guide rail 72. One side of the slider 76 is fixed on the third belt 74. A pneumatic suction claw 78 is mounted on each side of the first three-axis cylinder 77.

[0046] Preferably, the positioning mechanism 8 consists of a small motor 81, a lead screw 82, a mounting bracket 83, and a second and third-axis cylinder 84. The small motor 81 is mounted on the outer wall of the transfer table 3. The output end of the small motor 81 is connected to the lead screw 82. The other end of the lead screw 82 is threaded through the bottom of the mounting bracket 83. The second and third-axis cylinder 84 is mounted on the surface of the mounting bracket 83.

[0047] The telescopic end of the second and third axis cylinder 84 is connected to a cylinder 85, and a gripper 86 is installed on one side of the cylinder 85.

[0048] In practical use, the small motor 81 can rotate in both directions. When the small motor 81 is working, it will drive the lead screw 82 to rotate. When the lead screw 82 rotates, it will drive the mounting frame 83 to move through the threaded structure between the lead screw and the mounting frame 83. When the mounting frame 83 moves, it will drive the gripper 86 to move through the second and third axis cylinder 84. In this way, the gripper 86 can center the printed insole on the transfer table 3.

[0049] Working principle: The insole to be printed is pre-placed on the material carrier 48 of the feeding mechanism 4. Then, the steady rotation of the first belt 46 becomes the driving force, and the material carrier 48 slowly rises until the insole is above the feeding mechanism 4.

[0050] At this point, the adjustable cylinder 71 rises, causing the pneumatic suction claw 78 to rise to the predetermined height. Then, the slider 76 slides to the right, moving the pneumatic suction claw 78 towards the target position. Once the position is adjusted, the adjustable cylinder 71 lowers again, and the pneumatic suction claw 78 then picks up the insole on the transfer table 3 and the material rack 48.

[0051] As the adjustable cylinder 71 rises again, the slider 76 slides to the left. The pneumatic suction claw 78 on the left places the printed insole on the receiving mechanism 5, while at the same time, the pneumatic suction claw 78 on the right places the insole to be processed steadily on the transfer table 3, realizing the rapid replacement of insoles.

[0052] When the insole to be processed is firmly placed on the transfer table 3, the two grippers 86 on the positioning mechanism 8 move quickly, precisely gathering the insole to the bottom of the telescopic end of the adjustable cylinder 71. At this time, the telescopic end of the adjustable cylinder 71 descends, not only precisely pressing the printing material set at its bottom onto the insole, but also driving the pneumatic suction claw 78 to descend synchronously through the linear guide rail 72, completing the re-suction of the insole.

[0053] In summary, through this series of ingeniously designed structures and processes, the automated operation of insole printing is achieved, greatly improving production efficiency.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
