Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of footwear bending testing technology, specifically a bending testing machine for footwear production. Background Technology

[0002] The shoe bending test is an instrument used to test the bending resistance of finished shoes and soles. This equipment simulates the bending state of a human foot when walking or running, continuously bending the shoe at a fixed angle, frequency, and time to test its fatigue resistance and service life. The test results are determined by observing sole breakage, upper glue separation, and cracks in the upper. This equipment is widely used by shoe manufacturers to inspect shoe quality and sole crack resistance.

[0003] For example, patent document CN219552135U discloses a sports shoe bending test mechanism. It includes a support base with multiple suction cups below it. The support base is connected to a top plate via a vertical support plate. A servo motor is located inside the top plate, and the output shaft of the servo motor is connected to a one-way screw rod. A movable block is fitted onto the one-way screw rod, and an electro-hydraulic push rod is fixed below the movable block. The electro-hydraulic push rod is connected to multiple bending test blocks via a movable horizontal plate. Multiple fixing rods are fixed above the support base, and foot models are connected to the fixing rods via fixing bolts. A rotating ring is fixed to one side of each fixing bolt. The foot model is fitted with the sports shoe body. A camera is connected to the top plate via an elastic column. Multiple supporting horizontal plates are fixed to one side of the support base, and a sample storage box is located above the supporting horizontal plates. This utility model provides a sports shoe bending test mechanism that can test shoes of different sizes and models, with a simple structure and convenient operation.

[0004] However, when this structure is used for bending tests in actual footwear production, due to its structural limitations, it can only fix the two ends of the test shoe with clamps and then complete the bending test by squeezing from above and below. At this time, the two ends of the shoe are clamped and cannot be naturally extended or retracted, so it cannot accurately reflect the bending data of the shoe. At the same time, the position of the top and bottom pressure cannot distribute the force on the shoe body more evenly, resulting in poor bending deformation effect and failing to meet the needs of daily use. Therefore, it is urgent to design a bending test machine for footwear production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bending test machine for footwear production, to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that, due to its own structural limitations, the existing structure often can only fix the two ends of the test shoe with clamps and then complete the bending test by squeezing from above and below. At this time, the two ends of the shoe are clamped and cannot be naturally extended or retracted, so it cannot truly reflect the bending data of the shoe. At the same time, the position of the upper and lower pressure cannot distribute the force on the shoe body more evenly, resulting in poor bending deformation effect and failing to meet the needs of daily use.

[0008] The bending assembly includes a bending arc seat. The upper and lower ends of the inner wall of the bending frame are movably connected to the bending arc seat via a second electric push rod. The two ends of the bending arc seat are provided with mating rubber pads.

[0009] Preferably, the two sets of bent arc seats are provided with universal joints at their ends that are far apart from each other, and the universal joints are connected to one end of the second electric push rod. The inner wall center of the bent arc seat is provided with a fitting inner pad.

[0010] Preferably, a retractable contact is provided at the center of the inner wall of the shoe cover, and damping strips are provided on the four sides of the inner wall of the shoe cover.

[0011] Preferably, the upper and lower ends of the shoe cover are provided with lifting airbags, and the shoe cover moves up and down inside the shoe frame through the lifting airbags.

[0012] Preferably, the upper and lower ends of the fixed shoe rack are fixedly connected to limit sliders, and the upper and lower ends of the inner wall of the bending frame are connected to limit slide rails, and the limit slide rails and limit sliders are adapted to each other.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom end of the bending frame is fixedly connected to an overhead frame, and the bottom end of the overhead frame is fixedly connected to a mounting base.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This bending test machine for footwear production, through its bending frame, first electric push rod, shoe frame, shoe cover, shrink contact, damping strip, lifting airbag, limit slider, limit rail, overhead frame, and mounting base, allows the equipment to perform a more suitable natural fixation operation for the shoe body during bending tests in footwear production. In actual use, the operator first places the shoe to be bent into the center of the bending frame, aligning both ends with the shoe cover in the center of the shoe frame. Then, activating the first electric push rod pushes the shoe frame from both sides towards the center within the bending frame. The limit sliders at the upper and lower ends of the shoe frame... The shoe is positioned and slid stably by the upper and lower limit rails on the inner wall of the bending frame. Then, the shoe cover is used to cover the two ends of the test. The shrinking contact and damping strip inside the shoe cover work together to provide damping and top-fitting operations for one end and four sides of the test, respectively. This is the initial quick cover-fitting and fixing operation for the test shoe. At the same time, when the test is carried out with the center upper and lower pressure bending test, the shoe cover can also work with the upper and lower lifting airbags to make appropriate up and down adjustments inside the shoe frame, so as to more adapt to the overall bending operation of the shoe body, better reflect the quality of the shoe body, and demonstrate the practicality of the equipment design.

[0016] This bending test machine for footwear production enhances overall usability through its bending frame, second electric push rod, bending arc seat, mating pad, universal joint, and inner fitting pad.

When the first electric push rod 2 is started, the shoe racks 4 on both sides can be pushed towards the center inside the bending frame 1. The limiting sliders 13 at the upper and lower ends of the shoe rack 4 are limited by the upper and lower limiting slide rails 14 on the inner wall of the bending frame 1, and perform stable positioning and sliding. Then the shoe cover 5 covers the two ends of the test.

[0025] The bending assembly includes a bending arc seat 6. The bending arc seat 6 is movably connected to the upper and lower ends of the inner wall of the bending frame 1 via a second electric push rod 3. The two ends of the bending arc seat 6 are provided with mating rubber pads 7.
