Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of shoe production line equipment, and in particular to a shoe conveying corrector for automatically correcting the placement position and angle of shoes on a conveyor belt. Background Technology

[0002] In the footwear manufacturing industry, especially in mass production lines for athletic and casual shoes, after molding, gluing, shaping, or semi-finished product assembly, shoes need to be transported via conveyor belt to inspection, packaging, secondary processing, or robotic gripping stations. To ensure smooth operation at subsequent stations, shoes are typically required to maintain a uniform angle and relative position during transport. For example, the toes must face the same direction, the shoe body must be parallel to the transport direction or at a preset angle, and a specific feature of the shoe (such as the tongue, heel, or sole markings) must be aligned with a designated gripping point or positioning area.

[0003] Currently, most production lines still rely on manual placement to adjust the posture and position of shoes during the conveyor process. Specifically, before the shoes pass a certain workstation on the conveyor belt, a worker stands beside the belt and manually straightens and rotates each shoe to the required angle before pushing it to the designated area. While this manual method has low initial equipment investment, it has revealed significant shortcomings in actual production:

[0004] 1. Large error and poor consistency: Manual placement is affected by factors such as operator experience, fatigue level and attention, which can easily lead to angle deviation or positional shift, resulting in an increased failure rate of subsequent robotic arm grasping, and even product damage or drop, affecting product quality and production rhythm.

[0005] 2. High labor intensity and low efficiency: On high-speed production lines, workers need to frequently bend over and reach out to adjust their shoes. Prolonged work can easily cause muscle strain and increase staff turnover. At the same time, the speed of manual placement is difficult to match the speed of the conveyor belt, forming a bottleneck and limiting the overall production capacity of the line.

[0006] 3. Poor adaptability: Different styles and sizes of shoes have significant differences in appearance, and it is difficult to quickly switch to a standard posture when manually placing them. Repeated training or changes in operating procedures are required, which is not conducive to flexible production.

[0007] 4. Safety hazards: Workers working near operating conveyor belts for extended periods are at risk of being injured by shoes or equipment, which does not meet the safety requirements of modern manufacturing.

[0008] To address these issues, the industry has attempted to introduce simple mechanical limiting devices such as baffles, guide grooves, or fixed limiting blocks, allowing shoes to passively rest against a fixed structure for coarse positioning during transport. However, these structures mostly only restrict the lateral displacement of the shoes, failing to simultaneously and precisely control their orientation angle. Furthermore, they lack adaptability to different shoe shapes or sizes, easily causing jamming or deformation. In addition, rigid limiting devices have low tolerance for changes in conveyor speed and shoe entry posture; if the shoe's posture deviates significantly, it may be forcibly blocked or even tipped over, affecting production continuity.

[0009] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can actively guide and gently adjust the posture and position of shoes during the conveying process, so that the shoes can be automatically corrected to the set angle and position without human intervention, and ensure good adaptability to different shoe types, thereby reducing placement errors, reducing labor intensity, and improving the automation level and safety of the production line. Utility Model Content

[0010] This invention aims to overcome the problems of large errors and high labor intensity in existing manual placement methods, and provides a device that can automatically correct the position and angle of shoes during transportation, thereby improving placement accuracy and reducing labor costs.

[0011] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a shoe conveying and correcting device, comprising:

[0012] Mounting base;

[0013] Rotary shafts are located on both sides of the mounting base and can be rotatably mounted.

[0014] The guide plates are fixed to the upper end of the rotating shaft, and the two guide plates are symmetrically arranged.

[0015] Rollers arranged sequentially on two guide plates;

[0016] The first transmission plate is connected to one of the rotating shafts, and the other end is connected to the end of the second transmission plate through a linkage hinge plate.

[0017] A second transmission plate connected to another rotating shaft is held in place by a tension spring against the first transmission plate, the second transmission plate, the linkage connecting plate, or the guide plate.

[0018] Under the action of the tension spring, the two guide plates are arranged in a V-shape with their ends close to each other and leaving a channel.

[0019] It also includes a pneumatic spring mounted on the mounting base. The piston rod of the pneumatic spring is connected to the first transmission plate, the second transmission plate, or the linkage hinge plate, and is used to provide buffering during the return of the guide plate, so that the guide plate slowly retracts.

[0020] It also includes a limiter, which includes an adjusting screw connected to the second transmission plate, the first transmission plate, or the linkage hinge plate. The end of the adjusting screw moves through the side wall of the mounting base and is connected to an adjusting nut, thereby adjusting the initial included angle between the two guide plates.

[0021] The rollers are arranged sequentially along the length of the guide plate and are configured to match the direction of the shoe's movement. The extension and retraction of the pneumatic spring controls the rotation amplitude of the first transmission plate, thereby adjusting the retraction speed of the guide plate.

[0022] The first transmission plate is Y-shaped, which facilitates the installation of pneumatic springs and tension springs.

[0023] The mounting base is fixedly installed on the conveyor belt, so that the guide plate is located on the shoe conveying path.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model, through the rotatable guide plate and rollers combined with the action of tension springs and pneumatic springs, automatically guides the shoes to a set position and angle as they pass through. During the return phase, the pneumatic springs slowly retract the shoes, preventing scratches on the shoe surface and improving safety and product quality. The limiter can adjust the initial angle of the guide plate to adapt to different shoe types. The roller arrangement matches the direction of travel, improving the guiding effect. The pneumatic springs can control the retraction speed, further enhancing flexibility. No manual intervention is required, significantly reducing placement errors and labor intensity, improving the automation level and efficiency of the production line, and facilitating subsequent workstations for gripping or processing.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present invention will be described in detail below through embodiments, which are only used to further illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1, Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment discloses a shoe conveying corrector for installation above a conveyor belt. Its main body includes a mounting base 101, with rotatable shafts 102 mounted on both sides of the mounting base 101. Two guide plates 103 are symmetrically arranged and fixed to the upper ends of their respective shafts 102, allowing them to rotate around the shafts. Rollers 104 are sequentially mounted on the two guide plates 103, with the rollers 104 arranged in a direction matching the direction of the shoe's movement to guide the shoe upon contact.

[0031] One of the rotating shafts 102 is connected to a Y-shaped first transmission plate 105. One end of the first transmission plate 105 is connected to the lower side wall of the mounting base 101 via a tension spring 106, and the other end is connected to the end of a second transmission plate 108 via a linkage hinge plate 107. This allows the two guide plates to be synchronously linked, enabling them to open and close symmetrically. Another rotating shaft 102 is connected to a second transmission plate 108. Another tension spring can be installed between the end of the second transmission plate 108 and the lower side wall of the mounting base 101. Under the action of the tension spring 106, the two guide plates 103 are arranged in a V-shape, with their ends close together and a channel for shoes to pass through.

[0032] A pneumatic spring 110 is also mounted on the mounting base 101. The piston rod of the pneumatic spring 110 is connected to the first transmission plate 105. The piston rod of the pneumatic spring 110 can also be connected to the second transmission plate or the linkage hinge plate. When the shoe enters the channel and is straightened by the guide plate, as the shoe leaves, the tension spring 106 pulls the guide plate back to its original position. At this time, the pneumatic spring 110 provides a buffering effect, causing the guide plate to slowly retract to its initial V-shaped state, preventing scratches on the shoe surface due to excessively rapid return.

[0033] The mounting base 101 is also equipped with a limiter 200, which includes an adjusting screw 201 connected to the second transmission plate 108, the first transmission plate, or the linkage hinge plate. The end of the adjusting screw 201 moves through the side wall of the mounting base 101 and is connected to an adjusting nut 202, used to adjust the initial angle between the two guide plates 103 to accommodate different shoe types or sizes. Rollers 104 are arranged sequentially along the length of the guide plates 103 and are configured to adapt to the direction of shoe travel. The extension and retraction of the pneumatic spring 110 can control the rotation amplitude of the first transmission plate 105, thereby adjusting the retraction speed of the guide plates 103 and further improving flexibility and safety.

[0034] The mounting base 101 is fixedly installed on the conveyor belt, positioning the guide plate 103 on the shoe conveying path, thereby enabling continuous and automatic correction operations. This structure avoids errors and high-intensity labor associated with manual placement, improves production cycle time and consistency, and facilitates subsequent robotic arms or manual handling.
