Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shoe material processing technology, specifically to a shoe material steaming and softening machine. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the steam softening treatment of shoe materials is a crucial step in the shoe material processing. Traditional shoe material steam softening machines typically use steam heating to heat and soften the shoe materials through high-temperature steam. However, existing equipment has some drawbacks:
[0003] Traditional steam softening machines suffer from uneven steam distribution and transmission, resulting in suboptimal steaming effects in some areas of the shoe material surface, thus affecting the overall softening effect. Inaccurate steam distribution leads to wasted steam, resulting in low energy efficiency, increased operating costs, and environmental impact. Furthermore, because the shoe material is in a fixed position or can only rotate in one direction during steaming, it doesn't receive completely uniform steam treatment, leading to longer softening times and impacting overall production efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, in response to the above problems, this utility model proposes an improved shoe material steaming and softening machine, which aims to optimize steam distribution and shoe material treatment methods through innovative design, improve steaming and softening effect, increase processing efficiency, reduce energy consumption, simplify equipment structure, and improve ease of operation. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This utility model relates to a shoe material steaming and softening machine, specifically a device for heating and steaming shoe materials to soften them, primarily addressing the problems of uneven heating and low efficiency in the existing shoe material steaming and softening process. This utility model, through optimized structural design, achieves uniform heating of the shoe material under steam, improving the softening effect and saving steam usage and energy consumption.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A shoe material steaming and softening machine includes a processing chamber, a drying platform, and a drying platform drive assembly, wherein:
[0008] The processing compartment is equipped with a rail platform, which is used to guide the sliding of the drying platform.
[0009] One side of the drying platform is equipped with a sealing plate that fits against the surface of the processing chamber. The sealing plate ensures the airtightness of the processing chamber and prevents steam leakage.
[0010] The drying platform drive assembly is arranged on the surface of the drying platform base and includes a fixed gear ring, a turntable base, a hanging rod and a drive rod. The bottom surface of the turntable base is fixedly connected to the top surface of the drive rod and drives the hanging rod to perform revolution and rotation. The hanging rod meshes with the fixed gear ring through gear transmission to ensure the stable rotation of the hanging rod.
[0011] The drying rack drive assembly is driven by a motor to rotate the hanging rod, thereby causing the shoe material to be uniformly moistened and softened in the steam.
[0012] Furthermore, one end of the track base extends to the inside of the processing chamber to guide the sliding of the drying platform, ensuring the stability and smoothness of the equipment during use.
[0013] Furthermore, a steam generator is installed on the bottom surface of the processing chamber. The output end of the steam generator is connected to the distribution pipe. Multiple arc-shaped aeration pipes are installed on the inner surface of the distribution pipe. The aeration pipes are arranged coaxially with the fixed tooth ring. Several aeration pipes are evenly arranged in the vertical direction, which can effectively distribute steam to the surface of the shoe material and ensure uniform evaporation of the shoe material.
[0014] Furthermore, the hanging rod surface is equipped with multiple hooks, which are evenly arranged in a spiral direction for hanging the shoe materials to be processed, ensuring that the shoe materials can be fully steamed and softened under the action of steam.
[0015] Furthermore, the distributor pipe is equipped with an electric heating module for secondary heating of the steam, thereby increasing the steam temperature and ensuring the high efficiency of the evaporation and humidification effect.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] Through the design of the drying platform drive component, the shoe materials can be evenly heated by steam, avoiding the uneven heating problem that occurs in traditional heating methods. The steam is distributed evenly across the surface of the shoe materials through the distribution pipes and aeration pipes, ensuring uniform evaporation.
[0018] The steam is reheated using an electric heating module, which increases the steam temperature, thereby enhancing the evaporation effect and shortening the processing time.
[0019] The spiral structure of the hanging rod ensures that the shoe materials are treated evenly and comprehensively during the heating process, avoiding localized overheating or undercooling. The equipment features a simple and compact design, enabling a highly efficient and stable steam softening process, and possesses significant market application value.
[0020] In summary, this utility model provides a shoe material steaming and softening machine with simple structure, complete functions, uniform heating, and energy saving and environmental protection. It can significantly improve the steaming and softening efficiency of shoe materials and is widely applicable to the shoe material processing industry. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the present utility model can be combined with each other.
[0029] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this invention.
[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This invention describes a shoe material steaming and softening machine provided by some embodiments of the present invention.
[0031] Implementation
[0032] This embodiment provides a shoe material steaming and softening machine, the specific structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown. The equipment mainly includes a processing chamber 100, a drying platform 200, and a drying platform drive assembly 300. Its structure and function are as follows:
[0033] The processing chamber 100 is the core component of this equipment, and all processing procedures are carried out within this chamber. A track base 110 is located inside the processing chamber 100, which guides the drying platform 200 to slide along the track within the processing chamber 100 and to facilitate the opening and closing of the processing chamber 100. A steam generator 120 is located on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the processing chamber 100 to generate steam, which is then distributed through a distribution pipe 130.
[0034] Through several arc-shaped aeration pipes 131 connected to the diversion pipe 130, steam is evenly delivered to the surface of the shoe material to be processed, achieving steam softening.
[0035] The drying platform 200 is slidably installed inside the processing chamber 100 via the rail base 110. One side of the drying platform 200 is in contact with the surface of the processing chamber 100 to ensure airtightness during processing and prevent steam leakage. The drying platform 200 is equipped with a drying platform drive assembly 300, which is used to drive the rotation of the hanging rod 330 and the steaming and softening process of the shoe material.
[0036] The drying rack drive assembly 300 includes a fixed gear ring 310, a turntable base 320, a hanging rod 330, and a drive rod 340. Driven by a motor, the turntable base 320 is fixedly connected to the drive rod 340. The drive rod 340 drives the hanging rod 330 to revolve and rotate via the turntable base 320, thereby causing the hooks on the hanging rod 330 to rotate evenly, causing the shoe material hanging on it to be steamed and softened under the action of steam.
[0037] The bottom end of the hanging rod 330 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the turntable seat 320 and passes through the bottom end of the turntable seat 320 and is connected to the planetary gear 331. The hanging rod 330 meshes with the inner side of the fixed gear ring 310 to ensure that the hanging rod 330 can rotate synchronously and achieve stable movement.
[0038] The diversion pipe 130 is equipped with several arc-shaped aeration pipes 131 arranged vertically and uniformly. These aeration pipes 131 are coaxially arranged with the fixed toothed ring 310 and uniformly cover the top of the fixed toothed ring 310. Through the steam flow in the diversion pipe 130, the aeration pipes 131 uniformly deliver steam to the shoe material to be processed, ensuring uniform evaporation and wetting of the shoe material.
[0039] The aeration pipes 131 are arranged in an arc shape on the surface of the diversion pipe 130 and face upwards towards the shoe material to be treated, thereby enhancing the distribution effect of steam.
[0040] To improve the heating effect of steam, an electric heating module is also installed inside the distributor pipe 130. This module reheats the steam, increasing its temperature and humidity, and enhancing the steam softening effect.
[0041] Implementation
[0042] This embodiment provides an optimized shoe material steaming and softening machine, with a focus on improving the design of the hanging rod 330.
[0043] In this embodiment, the surface of the hanging rod 330 is provided with multiple hooks, which are evenly arranged in a spiral direction. The shoe material is suspended on the hanging rod through these hooks. Driven by the drive rod 340, the hanging rod revolves and rotates, thereby ensuring that the shoe material is heated evenly by the steam and avoiding uneven heating.
[0044] In addition, the electric heating module 130 in this embodiment ensures that the steam heating effect on the shoe material is more precise by controlling the output of temperature and humidity, thereby improving the softening efficiency.
[0045] In this embodiment, the diversion pipe 130 is equipped with multiple heating pipes to heat the steam to a higher temperature, thereby providing a more efficient steam softening effect. The diversion pipe 130 further optimizes the uniformity of the steam through multiple airflow regulating devices, so that the steam can better cover the surface of the shoe material during processing, thereby greatly improving the softening effect of the shoe material.
[0046] Through the above specific implementation methods, this utility model can efficiently and uniformly steam and soften shoe materials, while reducing steam waste and saving energy consumption, and has high market application value.
[0047] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0048] The shoe material steaming and softening machine of this utility model mainly consists of a processing chamber 100, a drying platform 200, and a drying platform drive assembly 300. Its working principle is as follows:
[0049] The processing chamber 100 is equipped with a track base 110 and a steam generator 120. The steam generator 120 outputs steam through a split pipe 130, which enters the aeration pipe 131 through the split pipe 130 to perform steaming and softening treatment on the shoe material to be processed in a uniform manner.
[0050] The drying platform 200 slides on the surface of the track platform 110 to open and close the processing compartment, and moves via a motor-driven drying platform drive assembly 300. The drying platform drive assembly 300 achieves driving and rotational motion through the cooperation of the fixed gear ring 310, the turntable seat 320, and the drive rod 340, thereby driving the hanging rod 330 to revolve and rotate.
[0051] Hooks are evenly arranged on the surface of the hanging rod 330. The shoe material is hung on these hooks. As the hanging rod 330 rotates, the shoe material undergoes uniform steaming and softening treatment under the action of steam.
[0052] The distributor pipe 130 is also equipped with an electric heating module, which enhances the heating effect of the steam by reheating the steam, thus ensuring the high efficiency of the steaming and softening process of the shoe material.
