Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of shoemaking, specifically relating to a shoe sole tray mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of technology, the footwear industry is gradually moving towards equipment integration and automation. In automated footwear production lines, soles are transported between various processing stations via sole trays that work in conjunction with conveyor lines. However, existing trays still have some drawbacks, such as difficulty in separating multiple trays when they are close together, inconvenient and slow control over tray release and obstruction, and difficulty in cleaning excess glue from the trays after glue application. These issues all affect footwear production efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The release and blocking of trays effectively improves shoemaking efficiency.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A shoe sole tray mechanism includes a tray body, a sensor, a detector, and a blocking component. The tray body includes a bottom mold and a cover plate stacked on top of each other. The shoe sole is placed on the cover plate. Recesses are provided on opposite sides of the bottom mold and the cover plate along the conveyor line. The sensor is placed on the bottom mold, and a detector matching the sensor is placed on the conveyor line. The blocking component is placed on the conveyor line to move upward and insert into the recess after the detector detects the sensor, thereby separating two adjacent tray bodies and blocking the rearmost tray body. When multiple trays are placed together in sequence, the recesses of two adjacent trays form a space for the blocking component to be inserted, thereby facilitating the release and blocking of the trays and effectively improving shoe manufacturing efficiency.
[0006] Furthermore, the cover plate is made of ethylene fluoride or Teflon sheet material. ethylene fluoride and Teflon sheet material are anti-adhesive materials, which can easily clean the adhesive stuck to the cover plate during the adhesive spraying process, thereby improving shoe manufacturing efficiency.
[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the mold is provided with a circular groove, and a vertically extending mounting rod is provided at the center of the circular groove. The sensing element is a circular metal sheet that matches the circular groove. The center of the circular metal sheet has a mounting hole for the mounting rod to pass through tightly. The mounting structure of the sensing element is simple and reliable.
[0008] Furthermore, the bottom mold includes a bottom plate and side plates extending downward around the bottom plate. A reinforcing rib extending downward is provided in the groove formed by the bottom plate and the side plates. The height of the reinforcing rib is lower than the height of the side plates, which can enhance the strength of the bottom mold and reduce the friction generated when multiple pallet bodies are close together.
[0009] Furthermore, the bottom mold and the cover plate have the same shape, with two opposite short sides and two long sides disposed between the two ends of the two short sides. The middle sections of the two long sides are recessed inward to form the recessed parts, which makes the structure reasonable and reliable.
[0010] Furthermore, the conveyor line includes two support rods spaced apart and a belt mounted on the support rods. The blocking component includes a horizontal plate positioned between the two support rods, a cylinder mounted vertically on the horizontal plate, and a blocking plate positioned at the output end of the cylinder. The cylinder is lifted upward to insert the blocking plate into the recess.
[0011] Furthermore, the sensor is located inside the support rod. When the sensor detects the sensing element, the cylinder lifts upward to insert the blocking plate into the recess of the tray body corresponding to the sensing element.
[0012] Furthermore, the height of the reinforcing rib is 2-4 mm lower than the height of the side plate. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the shoe sole tray mechanism includes a tray body 2, a sensing element 3, a sensor 4, and a blocking element 5. The tray body 2 includes a bottom mold 21 and a cover plate 22 arranged in layers. The shoe sole is placed on the cover plate 22. The bottom mold 21 and the cover plate 22 are provided with recesses 241 on opposite sides along the direction of the conveyor line 1. The sensing element 3 is placed on the bottom mold 21. The sensor 4, which matches the sensing element 3, is placed on the conveyor line 1. The blocking element 5 is placed on the conveyor line 1 so that after the sensor 4 senses the sensing element 3, it moves upward and inserts into the recess 241 to separate two adjacent tray bodies 2 and block the rearmost tray body 2.
[0019] The bottom mold 21 includes a bottom plate 211 and a side plate 212 that surrounds the bottom plate 211 and extends downward. A reinforcing rib 25 extending downward is provided in the groove formed by the bottom plate 211 and the side plate 212. The height of the reinforcing rib 25 is lower than the height of the side plate 212 to strengthen the strength of the pallet body 2 and reduce the friction when multiple pallet bodies 2 are close together. In this embodiment, the lower end of the reinforcing rib 25 is 2mm lower than the lower end of the side plate 212.
[0020] The base plate 211 and the cover plate 22 have the same shape, with two opposing short sides 23 and two long sides 24 disposed between the two ends of the two short sides 23. The middle sections of the two long sides 24 are recessed inward to form recesses 241. The two obliquely opposite corners of the base plate 211 are respectively formed with downward recesses. A circular groove 261 is provided at the bottom of the recess. A vertically extending mounting rod 262 is provided at the center of the circular groove 261. The sensing element 3 is a circular metal sheet that matches the circular groove 261. The center of the circular metal sheet has a mounting hole for the mounting rod 262 to pass through tightly.
[0021] The conveyor line 1 includes two spaced-apart support rods 11 and a belt 12 mounted on the support rods 11. The blocking element 5 includes a horizontal plate 51 positioned between the two support rods 11, a cylinder 52 vertically mounted on the horizontal plate 51, and a blocking plate 53 positioned at the output end of the cylinder 52. The cylinder 52 lifts upward to insert the blocking plate 53 into the recess 241. A sensor 4, matched with the sensing element 3, is positioned inside the support rod 11. When the sensor 4 senses the sensing element, the cylinder 52 lifts upward to insert the blocking plate 53 into the recess 241 of the tray body 2 corresponding to the sensing element. The sensor 2 is prior art.
[0022] During the adhesive spraying process, some adhesive may stick to the cover plate 22. To facilitate cleaning, the cover plate 22 is made of an anti-stick material, such as fluoroethylene or Teflon sheet.
[0023] During operation, the shoe last is placed on the cover plate 22, and the two short sides 23 of the bottom mold 21 are placed on the two belts 12 respectively, so that the tray body 2 is transported by the belts 12. When the sensor 4 on the support rod 11 senses the sensing element 3, the control mechanism controls the cylinder 52 to act according to the feedback signal of the sensor 4, thereby inserting the blocking plate 53 into the corresponding recess 241 of the tray body 2 to block the tray body 2. In this way, the tray bodies 2 that are close together can be easily separated. The process of controlling the cylinder 52 to act according to the feedback signal of the sensor 4 is existing technology.
[0024] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application and the contents of the specification of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the patent of the present utility model.
