Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of shoe production equipment, specifically relating to a shoe lining sewing robot. Background Technology

[0002] In the footwear industry, the sewing of shoe linings is a crucial step. Shoe linings typically require sewing together multiple pieces of fabric of different shapes. In traditional work environments, this usually relies solely on workers manually identifying and handling the fabrics. Workers need to select each piece of fabric one by one, which not only consumes a lot of time and effort but is also prone to picking out substandard fabrics due to negligence, affecting the subsequent sewing results. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is: how to design a shoe lining sewing robot that reduces the amount of labor involved in identification and handling.

[0004] The specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A shoe lining sewing robot includes two conveyors with a base between them. A sewing station table is located at the center of the base, and a sewing machine is mounted on the sewing station table. A feeding robot is located on each of the two edges of the base. The feeding robot includes a fixed seat, which is fixed to the base. One end of a multi-axis robotic arm is connected to the fixed seat, and the other end of the multi-axis robotic arm is provided with a clamping part.

[0006] The outer end or gripping part of the multi-axis robotic arm is equipped with a recognition camera, which is electrically connected to the back-end computer.

[0007] The recognition camera is electrically connected to the control unit, and the control unit is electrically connected to the multi-axis robotic arm.

[0008] The clamping part includes a crossbar, which is fixed to one end of the multi-axis robotic arm. Multiple parallel cylinders are installed on the crossbar, and pneumatic grippers are installed on the piston ends of the cylinders. A recognition camera is fixed on the crossbar between two adjacent cylinders.

[0009] A control unit is installed on the sewing station table, located on one side of the sewing machine. The control unit can be a control panel with a built-in microcontroller.

[0010] The sewing station table has an n-shaped structure.

[0011] Two feeding robots are arranged symmetrically around the sewing station table.

[0012] The sewing machine is fixed to the sewing station table by bolts, which are used for the sewing machine to be detachably mounted on the sewing station table.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical effect of this utility model is that it is equipped with a recognition camera, which can perform quality inspection on the shoe lining through the image captured by the camera, eliminating the need for staff to manually identify and handle the fabric, and eliminating the need for staff to select each piece of fabric one by one, thus saving time and energy. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the present invention.

[0015] Figure 2 This is a top view of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0017] like Figure 1-2 A shoe lining sewing robot includes two conveyors 11, a base 1 between the two conveyors 11, a sewing station table 2 at the center of the base 1, and a sewing machine 3 on the sewing station table 2.

[0018] A loading robot is provided on each of the two edges of the base 1. The loading robot includes a fixed seat 4, which is fixed on the base 1. One end of the multi-axis robotic arm 5 is connected to the fixed seat 4, and the other end of the multi-axis robotic arm 5 is provided with a clamping part.

[0019] To facilitate quality control, a recognition camera 12 is provided at the outer end or gripping part of the multi-axis robotic arm 5, and the recognition camera 12 is electrically connected to the back-end computer.

[0020] For ease of control, the identification camera 12 is electrically connected to the control unit 9, and the control unit 9 is electrically connected to the multi-axis robotic arm 5.

[0021] To facilitate clamping, the clamping part includes a crossbeam 6, which is fixed to one end of the multi-axis robotic arm 5. Multiple parallel cylinders 7 are provided on the crossbeam 6, and pneumatic grippers 8 are installed on the piston ends of the multiple cylinders 7. A recognition camera 12 is fixed on the crossbeam 6 and located between two adjacent cylinders 7.

[0022] A control unit 9 is installed on the sewing station table 2 and on one side of the sewing machine 3. The control unit 9 can be a control panel with a built-in microcontroller. The microcontroller can be programmed with software and the control program can be written to realize the control of the device. Since this is existing technology, it will not be described in detail here.

[0023] The sewing station table 2 has an n-shaped structure.

[0024] Two feeding robots are arranged symmetrically around the sewing station table 2.

[0025] The sewing machine 3 is fixed to the sewing station table 2 by bolts 10. Bolts 10 are used for the sewing machine 3 to be detachably installed on the sewing station table 2.

[0026] Its working principle is as follows:

[0027] S1, shoe lining fabric A and shoe lining fabric B approach the base 1 along the two conveyors 11 respectively;

[0028] S2. The multi-axis robotic arm 5 is fixedly mounted on the base 1 via the fixed seat 4. The multi-axis robotic arm 5 works to align the gripping part with the conveyor 11. The cylinder 7 extends to bring the pneumatic gripper 8 close to the shoe lining fabric being conveyed on the conveyor 11 in the appropriate position.

[0029] S3. The recognition camera 12 captures images of the shoe lining fabric on the conveyor 11. The background computer uses the captured images to perform a quality check on the shoe lining. If the check passes, proceed to step S4. If the check fails, proceed to step S2 and select a new fabric.

[0030] S4. The pneumatic gripper 8 clamps the shoe liner, which helps the robot determine the precise position of the shoe liner on the conveyor 11, thereby guiding the multi-axis robotic arm 5 to perform accurate clamping and moving operations. Then, the multi-axis robotic arm 5 moves the shoe liner to the sewing station table 2.

[0031] S5. The staff member stands at the sewing work area, takes the shoe lining delivered by the multi-axis robotic arm 5, and performs the shoe lining sewing operation.

[0032] Features of this application:

[0033] S1. This utility model can perform quality inspection on shoe linings by capturing images through a camera, eliminating the need for staff to manually identify and handle the fabric, and eliminating the need for staff to select each piece of fabric one by one, saving time and effort, avoiding the handling of defective shoe linings, and ensuring that only qualified shoe linings are used for sewing.

[0034] S2. Two conveyors 11 are used to transport two different shapes of shoe lining fabric. The staff stands at the sewing work area and uses sewing machine 3 to splice and sew the shoe lining fabric.

[0035] For other details, please refer to the existing technology.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the overall concept of the present utility model, and these should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
