[0045] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a shoe sole deburring and polishing device includes a left unit 1000 and a right unit 2000 arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides, and a cover 3000 disposed on the upper side of the left unit 1000 and the right unit 2000.

[0046] The left unit 1000 includes a frame 100, a deburring device 200, a grinding device 400, a double-layer circulating material platform 500, a picking and placing robot arm 600, and a collecting device 700.

[0047] The frame 100 is located inside the machine cover 3000 on the left side, and a processing space 101 is provided on its upper rear side; the deburring device 200 is located inside the processing space 101 on the left side; the polishing device 400 is located on the right side of the deburring device 200; the double-layer circulating material platform 500 is located on the left front side of the processing space 101 and is used to hold shoe soles; the picking and placing robot 600 is located between the processing space 101 and the double-layer circulating material platform 500, and is used to pick up shoe soles from the double-layer circulating material platform 500, and move the picked shoe soles sequentially to the deburring device 200 for peripheral deburring processing, and to the polishing device 400 for polishing the lower surface of the shoe sole; the collecting device 700 is located on the lower side of the processing space 101 and is used to connect to an external negative pressure air source to collect waste materials.

[0048] This application's shoe sole deburring and polishing equipment features a symmetrical left-right structure with a left unit 1000 and a right unit 2000, enabling simultaneous dual-station processing and improving production efficiency. Simultaneously, a double-layer circulating material platform 500 allows for alternating loading and unloading of shoe soles, increasing loading and unloading efficiency, reducing equipment downtime, and further enhancing overall processing efficiency. Furthermore, the robotic arm 600 precisely grasps, moves, and repositions shoe soles, ensuring the continuity and stability of the processing flow. Both the deburring device 200 and the polishing device 400 employ modular design for easy maintenance and replacement, adapting to various shoe sole shapes and sizes. The collection device 700, under negative pressure, efficiently collects waste generated during processing, maintaining internal cleanliness and preventing waste accumulation that could affect operational stability. In short, through the coordinated operation of these structures, this application achieves automated deburring and polishing of shoe soles, reducing manual intervention, thereby not only improving processing efficiency but also effectively reducing labor intensity and production costs, and ensuring consistent processing quality.

[0049] Furthermore, the double-layer circulating material platform 500 includes a mounting base 51, a lower slide seat 52, a lower slide seat drive mechanism 53, an upper slide seat 54, and an upper slide seat drive mechanism 55.

[0051] This application utilizes a lower loading station 521 on the lower slide block 52 and an upper loading station 541 on the upper slide block 54 to respectively carry different layers of shoe sole materials. The lower slide block 52 is driven back and forth by the lower slide block drive mechanism 53, and the upper slide block 54 is driven back and forth by the upper slide block drive mechanism 55. This allows the upper and lower material platforms to cyclically and alternately enter and exit the processing position, achieving continuous feeding and unloading, thereby effectively improving equipment utilization and processing cycle time. The setup of this double-layer circulating material platform 500 not only saves equipment space but also further enhances the automation and efficiency of loading and unloading, meeting the needs of efficient continuous production.

[0056] Furthermore, the polishing device 400 includes a polishing drive assembly 41 and a polishing roller 42 disposed in front of the polishing drive assembly 41. The outer surface of the polishing roller 42 is provided with a polishing layer. The polishing layer is preferably a diamond polishing layer, which has extremely high wear resistance and cutting ability, and can perform efficient and fine polishing on the edge of the shoe sole, ensuring that the processed surface is smooth and free of burrs.

[0061] The second blowing device 900 is located between the cutting device 300 and the polishing device 400. It is used to connect an external air source to provide airflow power and perform a secondary blowing on the shoe sole after the cutting process. This thoroughly removes the fine debris and dust generated during the sole cutting process, ensuring that the shoe sole surface is clean and free of impurities before entering the polishing stage, thereby improving the polishing quality and the appearance of the finished product.

[0062] Furthermore, both the first blowing device 800 and the second blowing device 900 can be equipped with airflow nozzles controlled by adjustable angle throttle valves, which can flexibly adjust the blowing intensity and range according to actual processing requirements.
