Description

A mold for creating textured insoles Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a mold, specifically a mold for manufacturing textured insoles. Background Technology

[0002] Insoles are products placed inside shoes, typically to increase comfort, improve foot health, or alter gait. They can be made from a variety of materials, such as foam, gel, leather, or fabric, and come in different thicknesses and shapes to suit different shoes and needs.

[0003] The texture of the insole is formed by thermoforming with a mold. The current mold has a first module and a second module. The second module has a groove similar to the texture. The insole is then placed into the groove, and the first module and the second module are then bonded together to create the insole texture. However, it is still easy for the first module to not press the second module thoroughly, resulting in an unclear insole texture, which affects subsequent use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a mold for manufacturing textured insoles.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: including a first module and a second module, wherein the second module has a groove, the first module has a protrusion that matches the shape of the groove and the protrusion is opposite to the groove, the first module and the second module are in contact to form a fitting position where the protrusion enters the groove, and the groove and the protrusion are provided with vent holes.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to make the insole texture, the insole is first placed in the groove, and then the second module moves closer to the first module, so that the protrusion compresses the insole. At the same time, the insole will soften due to heat. After being pressed by the protrusion, it fits more tightly with the groove, thus imprinting the texture. Then the second module descends to complete the texture manufacturing. By adding protrusions to the first module, the protrusions can enter the groove, resulting in a better pressing effect and a clearer insole texture. The ventilation holes are designed because if the protrusions enter the groove, there will be no place for air to escape, causing excessive pressure and incomplete pressing. The ventilation holes effectively ensure the pressing effect.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the vent holes are located on the inner periphery of the groove and the protrusion and are distributed in an equal-angled ring array.

[0008] The present invention is further configured as follows: it also includes a housing, an upper pad, a lower pad, and a cylinder. The housing is provided with a use cavity. The cylinder is located on the lower side of the use cavity and drives the lower pad to move vertically. The lower pad is located on the other side of the cylinder in the second module and constitutes the vertical movement of the second module. The upper pad is located on the upper side of the use cavity and is opposite to the lower pad. The first module is located below the upper pad.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when processing is required, the cylinder drives the lower pad to move upward, thereby driving the second module to move upward until the second module fits into the first module.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a guide telescopic rod is provided between the working cavity and the lower pad block, and the guide telescopic rod and the cylinder drive the lower pad block in the same direction.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: a fixing member is provided between the first module and the upper pad block, and between the second module and the lower pad block.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the fastener can be a screw, thereby achieving the fixation of the first module to the upper pad and the second module to the lower pad.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that when the first module and the second module are in a fitted position, the protrusion enters the groove to form an annular gap, and each vent hole forms a connecting air passage through the annular gap.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the different sizes of the protrusions and grooves allow space to be left directly on the insole during the production of sandal insoles, facilitating subsequent processing.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that the diameter of the vent hole is in the range of 0.05-0.2mm, and the width of the annular gap is 0.1-0.5mm. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] As shown in Figures 1-2, this utility model discloses a mold for manufacturing textured insoles, including a first module 1 and a second module 2. The second module 2 has a groove 21, and the first module 1 has a protrusion 11 that matches the shape of the groove 21 and is opposite to the groove 21. The first module 1 and the second module 2 are joined together to form a fitting position where the protrusion 11 enters the groove 21. Ventilation holes 12 are provided on the groove 21 and the protrusion 11. When it is necessary to manufacture the insole texture, the insole is first placed in the groove 21, and then the second module 2 is brought closer to the first module 1, so that... The protrusion 11 compresses the insole, and at the same time, the insole softens due to heat. After being pressed by the protrusion 11, it fits more tightly with the groove 21, thus imprinting the texture. Then, the second module 2 descends to complete the texture manufacturing. By adding the protrusion 11 to the first module 1, the protrusion 11 can enter the groove 21, resulting in a better pressing effect and a clearer texture on the insole. The ventilation hole 12 is set because the protrusion 11 entering the groove 21 leaves no place for air to escape, causing excessive pressure and incomplete pressing. The ventilation hole 12 effectively ensures the pressing effect.

[0022] The vent holes 12 are located on the inner periphery of the groove 21 and the protrusion 11 and are distributed in an equal-angled ring array.

[0023] It also includes a housing 3, an upper pad 4, a lower pad 5, and a cylinder 6. The housing 3 has a working cavity 31. The cylinder 6 is located on the lower side of the working cavity 31 and drives the lower pad 5 to move vertically. The lower pad 5 is located on the other side of the cylinder 6 on the second module 2 and constitutes the vertical movement of the second module 2. The upper pad 4 is located on the upper side of the working cavity 31 and is opposite to the lower pad 5. The first module 1 is located below the upper pad 4. When processing is required, the cylinder 6 drives the lower pad 5 to move upward, thereby driving the second module 2 to move upward until the second module 2 is in contact with the first module 1.

[0024] A guide telescopic rod 7 is also provided between the cavity 31 and the lower pad 5, and the guide telescopic rod 7 and the cylinder 6 drive the lower pad 5 in the same direction.

[0025] A fastener 8 is provided between the first module 1 and the upper pad 4, and between the second module 2 and the lower pad 5. The fastener 8 can be a screw, thereby fixing the first module 1 to the upper pad 4 and the second module 2 to the lower pad 5.

[0026] When the first module 1 and the second module 2 are in the fitting position, the protrusion 11 enters the groove 21 to form an annular gap 13, and each vent 12 forms a connecting air passage through the annular gap 13. The protrusion 11 and the groove 21 are of different sizes, so that when making sandal insoles, space can be left directly on the insoles to facilitate subsequent processing.

[0027] The diameter of the vent 12 is in the range of 0.05-0.2mm, and the width of the annular gap 13 is 0.1-0.5mm.

[0028] Working process: When it is necessary to make the insole texture, first put the insole into the groove 21. The cylinder 6 drives the lower pad 5 to move upward, thereby driving the second module 2 to move upward until the second module 2 is in contact with the first module 1, so that the protrusion 11 compresses the insole. At the same time, the insole will soften due to heat. After being pressed by the protrusion 11, it will fit more tightly with the groove 21, thereby imprinting the texture. Then the second module 2 descends to complete the texture manufacturing.
