Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of open mills, and more particularly to an open mill for shoe materials with a feeding auxiliary mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In the footwear manufacturing industry, the molding and processing of shoe materials is one of the key links that determines product quality and production efficiency. Among them, processing shoe material raw materials (such as fabric, leather, synthetic materials, etc.) into ring structures is a common process requirement. These ring shoe materials are widely used in parts such as shoe openings, upper edges, and shoelace eyelet reinforcement. Their processing precision and consistency directly affect the wearing comfort and appearance quality of the shoes.
[0003] Currently, in the ring-shaped processing of shoe material raw materials, it is usually necessary to first heat and soften the raw material with heated rollers to facilitate subsequent shaping. Existing processing equipment is generally equipped with two rotating heated rollers. The shoe material raw material enters through the gap between the two heated rollers (feeding area) and is discharged from the discharge area below after being heated. However, the heated shoe material raw material needs to be further guided to form a ring structure, and this step is mostly done manually in the existing technology.
[0004] Specifically, after the shoe material raw materials are discharged from the discharge area, operators need to manually pull, bend, and connect them into a ring before fixing or further processing. This manual method has many drawbacks: on the one hand, manual operation is inefficient and difficult to adapt to the needs of large-scale, automated production, severely restricting the overall production line capacity; on the other hand, long-term manual operation will increase labor costs, and working in high-temperature environments may pose a potential threat to the safety of operators.
[0005] As the footwear manufacturing industry moves towards automation and intelligence, higher demands are being placed on the automation level and processing precision of footwear material processing equipment. Current technologies lack equipment capable of automatically guiding footwear material raw materials into a ring structure after heating roller treatment, making the processing of ring-shaped footwear materials a bottleneck restricting production efficiency and quality stability. Therefore, developing a technical solution that can automatically guide footwear material raw materials into a ring shape without manual intervention has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field.

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] This embodiment provides a shoe material open mill with a feeding auxiliary mechanism, including: a mounting base, the mounting base including mounting plates on both sides, two rotating heating rollers 3 between the mounting plates, the upper part of the gap between the two rotating heating rollers 3 is a feeding area 4, and the lower part is a discharging area 5. The characteristic is that it also includes a guiding mechanism, which is pivotally connected to the mounting plate and includes a guiding channel. One end of the guiding channel is correspondingly set in the discharging area 5, and the other end is guided to the surface of any one of the rotating heating rollers 3.
[0031] The guide channel is composed of several rotating rollers 7 below;
[0032] The driving device drives several rotating rollers 7 to rotate.
[0033] The mounting base includes mounting plates on both sides. The mounting plates contain drive components similar to those of existing open mills. The structure of the open mill is not described in detail. There is an adjustable gap between the rotating heating rollers 3. The area above the gap is the feed zone 4, and the area below the gap is the discharge zone 5. The two ends of the guide mechanism are pivotally connected to the mounting plates. A guide channel is formed between the guide mechanism and the rotating heating rollers 3. The receiving end of the guide channel is correspondingly located below the discharge zone 5. Several rotating rollers 7 arranged below the guide channel guide the shoe material raw material towards the guide channel. The discharge end moves, and the width of the discharge end can be equal to or slightly smaller than the gap of the rotary heating roller 3. The width of the shoe material is equal to the width of the discharge end. When the shoe material is pushed out from the discharge end, it comes into contact with the rotary heating roller 3 and is then carried to the feeding area 4 by the rotary heating roller 3, thus forming a ring-shaped shoe material for open mixing. The two rollers usually rotate in opposite directions at different speeds (i.e., there is a speed ratio). When the shoe material is fed into the gap between the two rollers (i.e., the roller gap), it will be subjected to squeezing and shearing forces from the rollers. On the one hand, the squeezing action of the rollers compresses the material, eliminates the voids inside the material, and promotes its tight bonding. On the other hand, due to the speed difference between the two rollers, the material will be subjected to strong shearing forces when passing through the roller gap. This shearing force can break the intermolecular forces inside the polymer material, allowing raw material components that may have agglomerated or unevenly distributed (such as vulcanizing agents and fillers in rubber, or fibers and matrix in composite materials) to be fully dispersed and mixed.
[0034] The drive unit can drive several of the rotating rollers 7 among the drive rollers to realize the transmission of shoe material raw materials. The drive unit adopts a motor and is equipped with a battery or external wire.
[0035] The aforementioned mechanism eliminates the need for human intervention, automatically forming the shoe material into a ring. Furthermore, workers can use a knife to further cut the shoe material through the gap in the rotating roller 7, allowing the shoe material to be fully separated and then fused together. This process is repeated continuously, resulting in faster shoe material forming and a shorter time required.
[0036] Example 2:
[0037] This embodiment provides a shoe material open mill with a feeding auxiliary mechanism. In addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it also has the following technical features.

[0039] The guide mechanism has two arc-shaped mounting plates 6 on both sides, a fixed rod between the arc-shaped mounting plates 6, and a rotating roller 7 between the arc-shaped mounting plates 6. The ends of the two arc-shaped mounting plates 6 that are close to the rotating heating roller 3 are pivotally connected to the mounting plates. After the shoe material refining process is completed, the arc-shaped plates are rotated so that the shoe material raw material can be removed from the circulation.
[0040] The arc-shaped mounting plate 6 includes a first mounting plate 1 and a second mounting plate 2. One end of the first mounting plate 1 is rotatably connected to one end of the second mounting plate 2, and a locking mechanism that cooperates with the mounting plate is provided on the second mounting plate 2.
[0041] The arc-shaped mounting plate 6 comprises two sections: a first mounting plate 1 and a second mounting plate 2. The first mounting plate 1 and the second mounting plate 2 are hinged end to end, enabling the bending of the arc-shaped mounting plate 6. A locking mechanism that cooperates with the mounting plate is provided on the second mounting plate 2. The locking mechanism can be a pin, which is slidably mounted on the second mounting plate 2. A pin hole is provided on the second mounting plate 2. Alternatively, the locking mechanism can be a spring rod mechanism. The locking mechanism is existing technology for fixing the position, and the specific structure is not shown in the figure.
