Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold technology, and in particular to a composite shoe sole forming mold. Background Technology
[0002] The construction of shoe soles is quite complex, typically including all the materials that make up the bottom, such as the outsole, midsole, and heel. Generally, sole materials need to possess a variety of properties, including abrasion resistance, water resistance, oil resistance, heat resistance, pressure resistance, impact resistance, good elasticity, and being ultra-soft and ultra-lightweight. However, a single material often cannot simultaneously meet these diverse requirements. To achieve multiple properties, it is usually necessary to fuse two or more materials into a single sole to adapt to the specific needs of different parts. Currently, the common practice is to glue together multiple components of different materials to form the sole, but this method has problems such as high cost and a tendency for the glue to come undone.

[0020] This invention provides the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the various embodiments of the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to aid understanding, but these details should be considered exemplary only. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
[0021] In the description of this utility model, the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0022] It should be understood that when one element (e.g., the first element) is “connected” to another element (e.g., the second element), the element may be directly connected to the other element, or there may be an intervening element (e.g., the third element) between the element and the other element.
[0023] An embodiment of this utility model provides a composite shoe sole molding die, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, the mold includes an upper mold 101 and a lower mold 102. The upper mold 101 and the lower mold 102 are combined to form a molding cavity 103. The bottom side of the molding cavity 103 of the lower mold 102 is provided with a cold blank positioning structure 301 for placing the cold blank 2. The upper mold 101 is provided with a hanging mold fixing component 401 for fixing the cold blank 2. Before the mold is closed, the cold blank positioning structure 301 is used to initially position the cold blank 2. When the mold is closed, the hanging mold fixing component 401 is used to position the cold blank 2 a second time.
[0024] The composite sole, originally assembled using a glued-on method, is now molded as a single piece by placing the cold blank 2 material into the shoe's perimeter mold. This significantly improves the shoe's durability and extends its lifespan. The cold blank 2 is initially positioned by the cold blank positioning structure 301 and then secondary positioned by the hanging mold fixing component 401, improving the precision of the integral molding of the cold blank 2 and the sole. Before mold closing, the cold blank positioning structure 301 accurately positions the cold blank 2 into the molding cavity 103 of the lower mold 102, reducing displacement during molding and improving molding accuracy. During mold closing, the hanging mold fixing component 401 presses and fixes the cold blank 2, further enhancing its stability and preventing it from being washed away when the mold injects material, further improving the sole molding precision and reducing the scrap rate.
[0025] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cold blank 2 includes a front foot cold blank 201 located on the front side and a heel cold blank 202 located on the rear side.
[0026] The segmented design can meet the different needs of different parts of the sole. The perimeter of the sole is made of high-hardness, wear-resistant, and impact-resistant materials, while the forefoot and heel areas use low-hardness, ultra-soft, ultra-lightweight, and highly elastic shock-absorbing materials.
[0027] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the cold blank positioning structure 301 includes a limiting protrusion 302 that matches the shape of the outer edge of the cold blank 2 and a limiting groove 303 that matches the shape of the bottom of the cold blank 2.
[0028] In practice, the limiting groove 303 matches the anti-slip texture pattern on the bottom of the cold blank 2, which can further fit the shoe and prevent displacement. The limiting protrusion 302 matches the protrusion on the outer edge of the cold blank 2, but is not higher than the height of the protrusion. The outer edge of the cold blank 2 has the function of positioning and connecting with other parts for molding.
[0029] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, the hanging mold fixing assembly 401 includes a butterfly plate 402 movably connected to the upper mold 101, a guide structure 403 disposed on the butterfly plate 402 that extends downward through the upper mold 101, and a fixing block 404 disposed on the butterfly plate 402 that extends downward through the upper mold 101. When the mold is closed, the fixing block 404 abuts against the cold blank 2, and the guide structure 403 abuts against the lower mold 102.
[0030] The butterfly plate 402, together with the fixing block 404, presses or separates the cold blank 2 under the guidance of the guide structure 403. The guide structure 403 makes the movement of the butterfly plate 402 more stable and smooth during the mold opening and closing process, avoiding deformation or damage to the cold blank 2 due to the impact force during mold closing, and further ensuring the molding quality. At the same time, it can achieve precise positioning and stable fixation of the cold blank 2, ensuring that the cold blank 2 will not be displaced during the molding process, thereby improving molding accuracy and product quality.
[0031] Furthermore, the upper mold 101 is provided with a movable groove 405 that matches the butterfly plate 402. The bottom of the movable groove 405 is provided with a guide post 406. The butterfly plate 402 is provided with a guide groove that matches the guide post 406. The butterfly plate 402 slides up and down in the movable groove 405 under the guidance of the guide post 406.
[0032] The guide post 406 can guide the middle part of the butterfly plate 402, improve the stability of the fixing block 404 in the middle of the butterfly plate 402 when it moves up and down, improve the pressing accuracy, and thus improve the molding accuracy and product quality.
[0033] Furthermore, the guide structure 403 includes a guide rod 407 fixed on the butterfly plate 402 and slidably connected to the upper mold 101, a limiting block 408 disposed at the bottom of the guide rod 407, and a spring structure 409 sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 407. The bottom of the spring structure 409 abuts against the limiting block 408, and when the mold is closed, the top of the spring structure 409 abuts against the upper mold 101.
[0034] When the mold is closed, the limiting block 408 at the bottom of the guide rod 407 abuts against the lower mold 102. At the same time, the upper mold 101 presses the spring structure 409 toward the limiting part. Using the elastic force of the spring structure 409, the fixing block 404 on the butterfly plate 402 is further pressed against the bottom of the upper mold 101 to ensure that the bottom of the fixing block 404 is flush with the bottom of the lower mold 102, thus ensuring molding accuracy and increasing molding stability.
[0035] Furthermore, the bottom of the upper mold 101 is provided with a first spring groove 410 for accommodating the spring structure 409, and the lower mold 102 is provided with a second spring groove 411 for accommodating the spring structure 409.
[0036] When the mold is closed, the limiting part is inserted into the second spring groove 411, and the top surface of the first spring groove 410 abuts against the top surface of the spring structure 409 and compresses the spring structure 409. The setting of the first spring groove 410 and the second spring groove 411 can further improve the stability of the guide rod 407, while compressing the mold space and reducing costs.
[0037] Furthermore, a pad 412 is placed in both the first spring groove 410 and the second spring groove 411.
[0038] The 412 pad can effectively reduce wear and improve mold life.
[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 2-3 As shown, the fixing block 404 includes an abutting part 413 for abutting and pressing the cold blank 2 and a connecting part 414 for connecting with the butterfly plate 402. When the mold is closed, the top surface of the abutting part 413 abuts against the bottom of the upper mold 101, and the bottom surface of the abutting part 413 abuts against the cold blank 2.
[0040] The connecting part 414 is responsible for connecting with the butterfly plate 402, and the abutting part 413 is used to abut with the cold blank 2 and also to abut with the upper mold 101, so that the upper mold 101 and the fixing block 404 can be further aligned and pressed together, thereby improving the molding accuracy.
[0041] Furthermore, the bottom of the fixing block 404 is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0042] The anti-slip texture increases the friction between the fixing block 404 and the cold blank 2, ensuring the stability of the cold blank 2 during the pressing process.
[0043] The terms and words used in the foregoing description and claims are not limited to their literal meaning, but are merely used by the applicant to enable a clear and consistent understanding of the present invention. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that the foregoing description of various embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and not intended to limit the present invention as defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
