Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-4This utility model provides a steam softening mechanism for processing casual shoes, including a processing box 1, a first lifting plate 4, and a second lifting plate 5. The processing box 1 has a steam chamber 12 inside, with openings at the top, bottom, and right side. The first lifting plate 4 is located below the second lifting plate 5 and is slidably connected to the inside of the steam chamber 12. A baffle 7 is provided at the upper end of the second lifting plate 5. Support rods 6 are symmetrically fixed between the baffle 7, the first lifting plate 4, and the second lifting plate 5. The front end of the processing box 1... A connecting pipe 2 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the side wall of the processing box 1. An installation pipe 15 is fixedly installed between two connecting pipes 2. An air inlet pipe 3 is fixedly installed inside the installation pipe 15 and is fixedly connected to an external steam generator. Multiple connecting holes 14 are evenly spaced inside the side wall of the processing box 1. Multiple air outlet pipes 13 are evenly spaced inside the side wall of the connecting pipe 2. The air outlet pipes 13 all pass through the side wall of the processing box 1 and connect to the inside of the connecting holes 14. A linear motor 8 and a baffle 7 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the processing box 1. A connecting block 9 is fixedly installed on the rear side wall. The connecting block 9 is fixedly connected to the moving end of the linear motor 8. The first lifting plate 4, the second lifting plate 5 and the baffle 7 are of the same size. The right ends of the first lifting plate 4, the second lifting plate 5 and the baffle 7 are all located on the right side of the processing box 1, and the length of the processing box 1 matches the length of the U-shaped plate 10. When processing casual shoes, the linear motor 8 is used to move the baffle 7 up and down. When the second lifting plate 5 moves with the baffle 7 to the upper end of the processing box 1, the casual shoes can be easily placed on the second lifting plate 5. At the same time, the first lifting plate 4 is inside the connecting hole 14, allowing steam to enter the steam chamber 12, which facilitates the softening of the placed casual shoes. At this time, the two side walls of the second lifting plate 5 are in contact with the side walls of the steam chamber 12 to prevent the steam inside from overflowing. Then, the linear motor 8 is used to move the second lifting plate 5 to the position of the connecting hole 14. At this time, the first lifting plate 4 moves to the bottom of the processing box 1, which makes it easy to take out the processed casual shoes.

[0022] Example 2: To facilitate the movement of the U-shaped plate 10, in this example, as follows: Figure 1-4As shown, the upper ends of the first lifting plate 4 and the second lifting plate 5 are slidably connected to U-shaped plates 10. Multiple through holes 16 are evenly spaced inside the upper end of the U-shaped plates 10. Sealing plates 11 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the U-shaped plates 10. The upper ends of the sealing plates 11 are completely in contact with the bottom of the baffle 7 and the bottom of the second lifting plate 5, respectively. Slider blocks 17 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the bottom of the U-shaped plates 10. Slide grooves 18 are symmetrically arranged inside the top surfaces of the first lifting plate 4 and the second lifting plate 5. Slider blocks 17 are slidably connected inside the slide grooves 18, respectively. Pull rods 19 are fixedly installed on the side walls of the U-shaped plates 10. The pull rods 19 are positioned between two adjacent support rods 6. When taking out and placing casual shoes, the U-shaped plates 10 are pulled by the pull rods 19 until they are moved to the outside of the processing box 1, so that casual shoes can be placed and taken out.

[0023] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when using the steam softening mechanism for casual shoe processing, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, when processing casual shoes, the linear motor 8 is used to move the baffle 7 up and down. When the second lifting plate 5 moves with the baffle 7 to the upper end of the processing box 1, the position of the U-shaped plate 10 is moved by pulling the lever 19, so that the casual shoes can be conveniently placed on the U-shaped plate 10 of the second lifting plate 5. At the same time, the first lifting plate 4 is inside the connecting hole 14, so that steam enters the steam chamber 12, which is convenient for softening the casual shoes. At this time, the side walls of the two ends of the second lifting plate 5 are in contact with the side walls of the steam chamber 12 to prevent the steam inside from overflowing. Then, the linear motor 8 is used to move the second lifting plate 5 to the position of the connecting hole 14. At this time, the first lifting plate 4 moves to the bottom of the processing box 1, so that the processed casual shoes can be conveniently taken out.
