A gear 24 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 12. Guide grooves 22 are diagonally formed at both ends of the fixed plate 11. A first moving block 23 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 22. A rack 25 is fixedly connected to one end of the first moving block 23, and the rack 25 meshes with the gear 24. A fixed block 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the rack 25, and a clamping plate 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed block 27. A second moving block 26 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide block 31, and the second moving block 26 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 28. The clamping plate 28 has a uniformly distributed spring 29 fixedly connected inside on the opposite side. A telescopic rod 30 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the spring 29. A drive assembly is provided at the rear end of the processing box 1.

[0033] The drive assembly includes a connecting plate 2, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rear end of the processing box 1. A hydraulic cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting plate 2. A push plate 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 9. An electric slide rail 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the push plate 10. Slide grooves 3 are provided inside both the front and rear ends of the processing box 1.

Sliding blocks 7 are slidably connected to the outer wall of the electric slide rail 6. A fixing plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding blocks 7.

[0034] Sole support structure

[0035] Fixed columns 14 are fixedly connected to the bottom of both sides of the fixed plate 8, and telescopic columns 13 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed columns 14. A support plate 19 is fixedly connected between the bottoms of the telescopic columns 13, and a pressure sensor 20 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the support plate 19.

[0036] Trimming execution structure

[0037] A cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the middle section of the fixed plate 8, and a connecting plate 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 15. A second motor 17 is fixedly connected to the left side of the connecting plate 16, and a grinding wheel 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 17.

An emergency stop button is set inside the processing box 1 so that all power sources can be cut off immediately in case of failure.

[0038] The relationship and function of each component

[0039] After the first motor 12 starts, the gear 24 at its output end begins to rotate. Since the gear 24 meshes with the rack 25, the rack 25 will move under the drive of the gear 24. The rack 25 is slidably connected to the guide groove 22 through the first moving block 23. In this way, the movement of the rack 25 is restricted to the direction of the guide groove 22, ensuring the stability of the movement. When the rack 25 moves, it will drive the fixed block 27 and the clamping plate 28 to move towards the center, thereby clamping the sole of the shoe. The spring 29 and the telescopic rod 30 on the opposite side of the clamping plate 28 can provide cushioning, so that the sole of the shoe is clamped evenly, avoiding damage to the sole of the shoe due to uneven clamping force. The second moving block 26 on the outer wall of the guide block 31 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 28, further ensuring the stability of the movement of the clamping plate 28.

[0040] Trimming position adjustment structure

[0041] The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 9 pushes the push plate 10 to move vertically, thereby driving the electric slide rail 6 below to adjust its height so that the trimming position can be aligned with the edge of the shoe sole. The electric slide rail 6 is installed at the bottom of the push plate 10, and the sliding block 7 can slide laterally along the slide rail, thereby driving the fixing plate 8 and the trimming component to move laterally, so as to achieve full coverage of the edge of the shoe sole. The cylinder 15 pushes the connecting plate 16 downward, so that the grinding wheel 18 driven by the second motor 17 contacts the edge of the shoe sole. The second motor 17 rotates at high speed to drive the grinding wheel 18 to perform the trimming operation.

[0042] Pressure monitoring and sole support structure

[0043] The pressure sensor 20 on the left side of the support plate 19 can monitor the trimming pressure in real time to ensure stable pressure during the trimming process, thereby ensuring trimming accuracy. The telescopic column 13 is slidably connected to the fixing column 14 on both sides of the fixing plate 8. The support plate 19 at the bottom can adapt to different thicknesses of shoe soles by moving up and down through the telescopic column 13, providing stable support for the shoe sole. The debris generated during the trimming process will fall into the waste debris box 5. The slider 4 is slidably connected to the slide groove 3 at the front and rear ends of the processing box 1. The waste debris box 5 is fixed between the sliders. After the operation is completed, the waste debris box 5 can be pulled out from the slide groove 3 by the slider 4 for cleaning.

[0044] Working principle: The first motor 12 starts, driving the gear 24 to rotate. The rack 25, which meshes with the gear 24, slides in the guide groove 22 through the first moving block 23, driving the fixed block 27 and the clamping plate 28 to move towards the center. The spring 29 and the telescopic rod 30 in the opposite surface of the clamping plate 28 provide cushioning, so that the sole is evenly clamped and automatic positioning is achieved. The second moving block 26 is sleeved on the guide block 31 and fixedly connected to the clamping plate 28 to ensure the stable movement of the clamping plate 28. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 9 pushes the push plate 10 to move vertically, driving the electric slide rail 6 below to adjust its height so that the trimming position is aligned with the edge of the sole. The electric slide rail 6 is installed at the bottom of the push plate 10. The sliding block 7 can slide laterally along the slide rail, driving the fixed plate 8 and the trimming components to move laterally, achieving full circumference coverage of the sole edge. The cylinder 15 pushes the connecting plate 16 downward, causing the grinding wheel 18 driven by the second motor 17 to contact the edge of the sole. The second motor 17 rotates at high speed to drive the grinding wheel 18 to perform trimming operations. At the same time, the pressure sensor 20 on the left side of the support plate 19 monitors the trimming pressure in real time to ensure trimming accuracy. The telescopic column 13 is slidably connected in the fixing column 14 on both sides of the fixing plate 8. The support plate 19 at the bottom adapts to soles of different thicknesses and provides stable support by moving up and down through the telescopic column 13. The third motor 21 is started, and its output end drives the fixing plate 11 to rotate in the processing box 1. The debris generated during the trimming process falls into the waste chip box 5. The slider 4 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 3 at the front and rear ends of the processing box 1. The waste chip box 5 is fixed between the sliders. After the operation is completed, it can be pulled out from the sliding groove 3 by the slider 4 for cleaning.
