Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of shoe cover machines, specifically relating to a material feeding and tensioning mechanism for shoe cover machines. Background Technology
[0002] Shoe cover machines, also known as automatic shoe cover machines, are household products designed to address the issue of guests needing to change their shoes upon arrival. They are compact, aesthetically pleasing, and easy to use. No need to remove shoes; guests simply step into the machine, and shoe covers are applied to their feet, ensuring both hygiene and a neat appearance. Most existing automatic shoe cover machines operate by using a feeding mechanism to pull and move a protective film wrapped around the feeding roller.
[0003] In actual use, the unloading roller of the wound material is in a relaxed state when unloading. Due to the lack of tension adjustment, the protective film is loose during the unloading process, which can easily lead to length deviation and overlap, resulting in material waste. It may also cause wrinkles and misalignment, which is not conducive to the effective adhesion of the protective film to the shoe upper. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a material feeding and tensioning mechanism for a shoe cover machine, which ensures that the shoe cover machine can effectively adjust the tension of the shoe cover material during use, prevents loosening and wrinkling during the feeding process, ensures that the shoe cover material fits tightly to the shoe, and improves the stability of the shoe cover during use.

[0022] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a shoe cover machine feeding and tensioning mechanism includes a shoe cover body 10. The shoe cover body 10 has a rotating groove 101 and an adjusting groove 102 respectively opened on both sides inside. The interior of the rotating groove 101 is rotatably connected to the mounting ring 11. The mounting ring 11 is detachably connected to the film-coated feeding roller 111.
[0024] Adjustment component 20 includes adjustment motor 21, which is fixedly connected to one side of shoe cover body 10. The output end of adjustment motor 21 is fixed with drive plate 22. Drive grooves 221 are opened at both ends of drive plate 22. The inside of drive groove 221 is slidably connected to the outside of connecting ring 222. One end of connecting ring 222 is slidably connected to adjustment groove 102, and the other end of connecting ring 222 is rotatably connected to one end of adjustment roller 23.
[0025] The shoe cover body 10 has two sides inside that are slidably connected to the guide rollers 12. The material wrapped around the outside of the film-coated feeding roller 111 passes through the guide rollers 12 and the adjusting rollers 23 in sequence. The adjusting motor 21 is started and drives the drive plate 22. The drive plate 22 drives the adjusting rollers 23 to rotate and adjust, thereby effectively adjusting the tension of the material, preventing loosening and wrinkling during the feeding process, and improving the stability and accuracy of the feeding.
[0026] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the adjusting motor 21 is a self-locking motor, which can effectively prevent accidental rotation caused by external force during use, thereby ensuring that the adjusting roller 23 can stably apply tension during the feeding process. The adjusting motors 21 fixed on both sides inside the shoe cover body 10 are of the same model and are connected in series with the same power supply through a control switch, so they can be started synchronously. This allows them to drive the drive plates 22 on both sides to rotate in the same direction and at the same speed. This is a conventional technical means and will not be described in detail here. When the drive plate 22 rotates, the drive plate 22 and the drive groove 221 can drive the connecting rings 222 on both sides to rotate along the adjusting groove 102. Since both ends of the adjusting roller 23 are rotatably connected to the connecting rings 222 on both sides, the adjusting roller 23 can effectively adjust the tension of the feeding material, ensuring that there is no deviation or wrinkling during the feeding process.
[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple adjusting grooves 102, which are arranged in a central array along the adjusting motor 21, and the interior of each adjusting groove 102 is slidably connected to multiple connecting rings 222. The adjusting groove 102 is an arc-shaped groove. When the adjusting motor 21 is started, the connecting rings 222 can be effectively driven to move along the guide of the arc-shaped groove through the driving plate 22 and the driving groove 221 in the driving plate 22, thereby effectively driving the adjusting roller 23 to move stably within a range, thus effectively applying tension to the material.
[0028] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the shoe cover body 10 also has a sliding groove 103 inside. The sliding groove 103 is located below the rotating groove 101, and a limit rod is fixed inside the sliding groove 103.
[0029] Preferably, one end of the guide roller 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding block 121, the sliding block 121 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 103, and an elastic element is assembled between the top of the sliding block 121 and the sliding groove 103. Furthermore, a sliding hole is provided inside the sliding block 121, and the sliding hole is slidably connected to the limiting rod.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, based on the previous embodiment, the material of the film-coated feeding roller 111 is wound around the bottom of the guide roller 12 and the top of the adjusting roller 23. In initial use, the guide roller 12 is at the bottom of the sliding groove 103 under the action of the elastic force of the elastic element. When the adjusting motor 21 is started, it drives the adjusting roller 23 to adjust. At the same time, the material is subjected to force by multiple adjusting rollers 23. At this time, the guide roller 12 drives the sliding block 121 to rise in the sliding groove 103 under the power of material transmission. At the same time, the downward pressure is generated by the action of the elastic force of the elastic element, thereby tightening the material between the guide roller 12 and the adjusting roller 23. Therefore, when the adjusting function applies tension to the material, it can synchronously drive the guide roller 12 and the sliding block 121 to move up and down in the sliding groove 103, thereby ensuring that the tension is within a balanced range and that there will be no jamming or transmission interruption.
[0031] Preferably, an auxiliary roller is also fixed inside the shoe cover body 10, and the auxiliary roller is located below the adjustment component 20; wherein, the auxiliary roller is used to guide the tensioned material, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of subsequent cutting and covering.
[0032] Preferably, the back of the shoe cover body 10 is provided with a material feeding port, and one side of the material feeding port is hinged to the protective door; it should be noted that a shoe cover wrapping opening is provided on the top of the shoe cover body 10 on the side away from the material feeding port, which can effectively wrap and cover the shoes; at the same time, the material feeding port can effectively replace the film feeding roller 111; the protective door can effectively protect the internal structure and ensure that it will not be affected by the outside world during use.
[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the shoe cover machine needs to be used, the two ends of the film-coating feeding roller 111 are connected to the mounting rings 11 that are rotatably connected to both sides inside the shoe cover body 10. After the connection is completed, the tail end of the material wound by the film-coating feeding roller 111 can pass through the guide roller 12 and the adjusting roller 23 in sequence, and be wound onto one side of the auxiliary roller. At the same time, the tail end of the material is pulled to the feeding mechanism inside the shoe cover body 10 and connected, thus completing the preparation work for feeding. By controlling the adjusting motors 21 on both sides to work synchronously, the adjusting motors 21 on both sides synchronously drive the drive plate 22 to rotate in the same direction and at the same speed. Through the drive plate 22 and the drive groove 221 opened on the drive plate 22, the power is applied to the connecting ring 222, driving the connecting ring. 222 slides along the arc-shaped adjustment groove 102, and at the same time, the adjustment roller 23 is adjusted by the connecting rings 222 on both sides, so that multiple adjustment rollers 23 apply force to the material; when the material is tensioned, the power is applied to the guide roller 12, and then to the guide roller 12 and the sliding block 121, which drives the sliding block 121 to rise and fall along the limit rod, ensuring that the tension of the material is within the balance range; at the same time, when the adjustment motor 21 drives the drive plate 22 to rotate in the opposite direction, it will drive the adjustment roller 23 to reduce the tension when discharging the material. At this time, the sliding block 121 generates downward pressure through the characteristics of the elastic element, thereby driving the guide roller 12 to descend, ensuring that the tension of the material is synchronously balanced when discharging the material, which can effectively prevent wrinkles and deviations during discharging.
[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
