Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of manufacturing technology, and in particular to a device for using a lightweight spoon-shaped carbon fiber plate in conjunction with a midsole. Background Technology
[0002] The combination of a lightweight spoon-shaped carbon fiber plate and the midsole is commonly found in the midsole structure of athletic shoes (especially professional running shoes and basketball shoes). Through the complementary material properties and mechanical functions, the two can significantly improve the shoe's support, torsional rigidity, energy return efficiency, and athletic performance.
[0003] When connecting carbon fiber plates to the midsole, the most common method is lamination. However, before lamination, adhesive needs to be applied to the bonding surfaces of the carbon fiber plates and the midsole. This method is mostly done manually and it is difficult to ensure the cleanliness of the bonding surfaces. Therefore, we propose a device for using lightweight spoon-shaped carbon fiber plates with the midsole. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a device for using a lightweight spoon-shaped carbon fiber plate with a midsole, which can solve the problems of rapid adhesive application and ensuring surface cleanliness on the bonding surface. The specific solution is as follows:
[0006] A device for using a lightweight spoon-shaped carbon fiber plate with a midsole includes a placement plate, with supports on both sides of the top of the placement plate. A pressing structure is provided between the supports, and the pressing structure includes two sets of pressure rollers. A gap is left between the two sets of pressure rollers for the fiber plate and the midsole to pass through. A motor is fixedly connected to the outside of the supports, and the output end of the motor is connected to a transmission belt. The other end of the transmission belt is connected to the central axis of one of the pressure rollers. A cleaning component is provided on one side of the top of the placement plate, and a partition is fixedly connected to the top of the placement plate. The partition is located on one side of the cleaning component, and a spray adhesive structure is movably connected to the top of the placement plate.

The connecting pipe is curved and connected to one end of the storage box.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, side plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixing frame, and a light rod is rotatably connected to the ends of the two side plates.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects:
[0013] By setting a placement plate at the bottom of the pressure roller, with movable glue application and cleaning components in the middle, the cleaning component first cleans the bonding surface between the carbon fiber plate and the midsole to remove impurities or dust, thus ensuring a clean bonding surface. Then, the glue application component, which can move laterally, applies glue to the bonding surface.

[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of the present invention and, together with the embodiments of the present invention, serve to illustrate the principles of the present invention.
[0023] See Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a device for using a lightweight spoon-shaped carbon fiber plate with a midsole. It includes a placement plate 1, with supports 2 on both sides of the top of the placement plate 1. A pressing structure is provided between the supports 2, including two sets of pressure rollers 3. A gap is left between the two sets of pressure rollers 3 for the fiber plate and midsole to pass through. A motor 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of the supports 2. The output end of the motor 5 is connected to a transmission belt 4, and the other end of the transmission belt 4 is connected to the central axis of one set of pressure rollers 3. A cleaning component is provided on one side of the top of the placement plate 1, and a partition 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the placement plate 1. The partition 6 is located on one side of the cleaning component. The active connection adhesive spraying structure and the cylindrical structure of the pressure roller 3 can apply continuous and uniform linear pressure to the material surface through rolling contact, avoiding the edge pressure attenuation problem of traditional flat pressing. In the bonding of carbon fiber plate and midsole, the pressure roller 3 can ensure that the adhesive layer is evenly distributed on the entire contact surface, avoiding local bubbles or delamination. The pressure roller 3 can be integrated into the production line and linked with unwinding, gluing, drying and other processes to form a continuous operation process, which greatly improves production efficiency. The rolling and squeezing action of the pressure roller 3 can effectively expel air between materials, reduce interlayer bubbles (such as "hollow" defects in composite materials), and improve the interface bonding strength.
[0024] The adhesive spraying structure includes two sets of electric guide rails 15. The middle part of the electric guide rails 15 is connected to the sliding block 14. The top of the sliding block 14 is fixedly installed with a fixing frame 8. The top of the fixing frame 8 is fixedly connected to the storage box 9 through the support strip. The storage box 9 contains PU adhesive.
[0025] A spray pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom middle of the fixed frame 8. Multiple nozzles 11 are fixedly connected to the middle of the spray pipe 12. A connecting pipe 10 is fixedly installed at one end of the spray pipe 12. The connecting pipe 10 is curved and connected to one end of the storage box 9. In the production process of lightweight spoon-shaped carbon fiber plate and midsole, the spraying process using a combination of spray pipe 12 and nozzles 11 is the core technical means to achieve precise glue application and improve production efficiency.
[0026] Side plates 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixing frame 8. A smooth rod 18 is rotatably connected to the ends of the two side plates 13. A scraper 19 is sleeved on the smooth rod 18. The bottom of the scraper 19 is made of rubber, and the bottom wall of the scraper 19 is in contact with the surface of the placement plate 1. After spraying glue, the scraper 19 can be manually flipped so that the bottom wall of the scraper 19 is in contact with the surface of the placement plate 1. The rubber scraper 19 has elastic deformation capability and can closely fit the flat, curved or textured surface of the placement plate 1. It can thoroughly scrape off liquid glue, cured glue blocks, glue filaments, etc. on the surface through physical contact. Compared with metal scrapers or brushes, the flexible contact of the rubber scraper 19 can penetrate into the gaps without damaging the plate surface. The rubber material has low adhesion to glue, and the scraped glue is not easy to stick to the surface of the scraper 19. It can be quickly cleaned by the subsequent automatic glue-spraying device or water washing process to avoid secondary pollution.
[0027] The cleaning assembly includes multiple cleaning plates 7, with strip-shaped bristles set on the surface of the cleaning plates 7.
[0028] Multiple motors 17 are installed at the bottom of the placement plate 1, and each motor 17 corresponds to the position of the cleaning plate 7. The output end of the motor 17 is connected to the rotating rod 16, and the top of the rotating rod 16 is connected to the central axis at the bottom of the cleaning plate 7. In use, the carbon fiber plate or the required bonding surface of the midsole is first placed on the surface of the cleaning plate 7, and the motor 17 is started at the same time to drive the cleaning plate 7 to rotate at high speed. At this time, the strip bristles on the cleaning plate 7 clean the surface of the carbon fiber plate or midsole. The mechanical friction of the strip bristles can effectively remove dust, oil, release agent residue, debris and other contaminants from the surface of the carbon fiber plate or midsole (such as resin burrs generated during the cutting of carbon fiber plate, and silicone oil remaining during the foaming process of midsole). For the spoon-shaped curved surface, groove or texture gap of the carbon fiber plate or midsole, the strip bristles can reach deep into the gap through contact cleaning, which is more thorough than simply blowing or wiping.
[0029] The slight friction of the brush bristles can create microscopic scratches or roughness on the material surface (such as the resin matrix surface of carbon fiber plates or the smooth surface of EVA material in midsole), increasing the surface area and enhancing the "mechanical anchoring" effect of the adhesive, thereby strengthening the interfacial bonding strength.
[0030] By setting a placement plate 1 at the bottom of the pressure roller 3, and setting movable glue application component and cleaning component in the middle part of the placement plate 1, the cleaning component can first clean the bonding surface of the carbon fiber plate and the midsole to remove impurities or dust, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the bonding surface. Then, the glue application component that can move laterally applies glue to the bonding surface. Finally, the two sets of pressure rollers make the carbon fiber plate and the midsole form a tight connection for later use, which greatly improves the work efficiency.
