Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of shoe sole injection molding machine equipment, and in particular to a shoe sole exhaust device for shoe sole injection molding machines. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern footwear manufacturing industry, injection molding is one of the main processes for producing shoe soles. It involves injecting molten plastic into a closed mold cavity under high temperature and pressure, which then cools and solidifies to form a shoe sole product with specific shape and performance. However, during injection molding, because the mold components often form a highly enclosed space, a large amount of gas is generated inside the cavity when the molten material is injected at high speed. If this gas cannot be effectively and promptly expelled, it will form bubbles, voids, scorching, material shortages, and even surface defects inside the shoe sole, seriously affecting the appearance quality, structural strength, and performance of the sole. To solve this problem, traditional methods usually rely on pre-set simple... While single venting channels or fine-tuning of injection molding parameters can be used, these methods suffer from limited venting paths, low venting efficiency, and poor adaptability, making them unsuitable for complex sole structures or diverse production needs. Furthermore, although some devices have dedicated venting structures, in actual operation they often suffer from inaccurate positioning, complex operation, insufficient stability, and poor coordination with the injection molding process, failing to achieve efficient and reliable venting. In summary, traditional venting methods for shoe sole injection molding machines generally suffer from limited gas discharge paths, poor mold structure adaptability, inaccurate operation control, and insufficient coordination with the overall production process, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-quality, high-efficiency modern shoe sole production.

[0003] Chinese patent discloses an injection molding machine for shoe soles (publication number: CN 212707712 U), comprising a housing, an injection mechanism, a drive mechanism, a cooling mechanism, and locking casters. The injection mechanism is installed in the housing and includes a working chamber, a turntable, multiple heat insulation plates, multiple metal shoe sole molds, an injection tube, a cylinder, a piston rod, a connecting block, and a shaped heating plate. The working chamber is located in the housing, and the opening of the working chamber is located on one side wall of the housing. However, traditional shoe sole injection molding machines have many drawbacks in their venting methods: after the mold is closed, the internal gas is difficult to expel. Traditional methods that rely on preset venting channels or fine-tuning injection parameters have problems such as limited venting paths, low efficiency, and poor adaptability, making it difficult to cope with complex structures and diverse needs. Some specialized venting structures are inaccurate in positioning, complex in operation, lack stability, and have poor coordination with the injection process, making it impossible to vent efficiently and reliably. The gas venting path, mold adaptability, operation control, and process coordination are all insufficient, failing to meet the requirements of high-quality and high-efficiency production. Therefore, a shoe sole venting device for shoe sole injection molding machines is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing shoe sole injection molding machines rely heavily on manual operation or semi-automated equipment for venting, resulting in an intermittent production process. This means that a series of operations, such as injection molding, cooling, mold opening, venting, and part removal, must be completed at one workstation before the next product can be produced. This model is inefficient and underutilizes equipment. More importantly, manual operation has inherent drawbacks such as poor stability, high labor intensity, and safety hazards. Therefore, this invention proposes a shoe sole venting device for shoe sole injection molding machines.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A shoe sole venting device for a shoe sole injection molding machine, comprising a clamping support beam, a multi-axis linear guide rail assembly on one side of the clamping support beam, a clamping connector connected to one end of the multi-axis linear guide rail assembly, a connecting rod clamping component on the clamping connector, and an venting pin on the connecting rod clamping component. This solution integrates the venting pin onto a multi-directionally adjustable guide rail system, realizing the function of targeted venting operations at different positions inside the mold; the combination of the clamping connector and the connecting rod clamping component makes the positioning of the venting pin more flexible and stable, effectively solving the problems of inaccurate positioning and inconvenient operation in traditional venting methods, and providing a structural basis for timely gas discharge during shoe sole injection molding.

[0006] Preferably, the interior of the venting needle rod is a hollow structure from the top circular plane to the bottom conical needle tip. A first vent hole is located in the lower middle part of the side wall of the venting needle rod, and a second vent hole is located below the back of the first vent hole. The physical height of the second vent hole is lower than that of the first vent hole, and the difference in height is between 0.3 and 1.5 mm. Both the first and second vent holes are rectangular grooves that extend radially through the rod, with the opening direction of the rectangular groove perpendicular to the rod axis. The venting needle is made of copper alloy. This venting needle, with its hollow design and two radial vent holes at different heights, can form multi-position gas channels after the needle penetrates the mold cavity, facilitating the efficient discharge of residual air at different depths. The height difference between the two vent holes allows gas to be guided out from different levels, avoiding localized pressure buildup. The radially extending structure of the rectangular groove increases the venting flow area, while the copper alloy material ensures the thermal conductivity and structural strength of the needle, thus improving the overall venting effect and durability.

[0007] Preferably, the clamping connector includes a clamping cylinder, the bottom of which is provided with a cylinder bracket, and one end of which is connected to an opening and closing gripper. The connecting rod clamping component includes an L-shaped connecting plate, which is associated with and cooperates with an exhaust needle.

Both the transmission connecting rod and the L-shaped connecting plate are associated with the cylinder bracket. A double-rod lifting cylinder is provided on one side of the back of the clamping cylinder. The double-rod lifting cylinder includes a piston cylinder and a piston double rod associated with the piston cylinder. One end of the piston double rod is connected to a push plate, and one end of the push plate is connected to a shoe sole fixing pressure plate. This structure uses a cylinder to drive the clamping and releasing actions, making the connection between the venting needle and the mold more reliable and easier to control. The return torsion spring provides elastic restoring force, ensuring that the mechanism can automatically reset after the operation is completed, improving the convenience and safety of use. At the same time, the double-rod lifting cylinder is used to fix the shoe sole mold, ensuring the stability of the mold position during the venting process and preventing venting failure due to vibration or displacement. Overall, the operating accuracy and reliability of the device are improved.

[0008] Preferably, the multi-axis linear guide rail assembly includes a Z-axis clamping guide rail component, an X-axis clamping guide rail component on one side of the Z-axis clamping guide rail component, and a support plate connected to the bottom end of the clamping support beam, with a Y-axis clamping guide rail component on the support plate. By setting multi-directional (at least including X, Y, and Z directions) linear guide rails, the venting pin can be flexibly adjusted in three-dimensional space to precisely meet the venting needs of different areas of the mold. This modular guide rail combination design not only improves the freedom of movement of the device but also enhances its adaptability to different mold structures and shoe sole shapes, providing structural assurance for achieving refined and automated venting operations.

Through the array arrangement of discs and mold slots, it realizes the possibility of multi-mold cyclic operation and improves production efficiency. The reasonable layout of the main linear guide and support structure provides a stable motion platform for the venting device. At the same time, the setting of the mold flipping and top mold components allows the mold opening, closing and positioning to be organically combined with the venting operation, forming a collaborative working mechanism and enhancing the overall system's coherence and automation level.

[0010] Preferably, a movable mold rod is provided at the center of one side of the upper two mold release sections, and first mold rods are provided on both sides of the movable mold rod. A second mold rod is provided at the center of the other side of the upper two mold release sections, and two third mold rods are provided on both sides of the middle frame mold. The number of third mold rods is two and they are correspondingly arranged. An extrusion outlet is provided at the center of the top of the upper two mold release sections. This mold structure, through the setting of multiple mold rods, provides clear operating points for the mold flipping and top mold components, making the opening and closing of the mold more precise and controllable. The cooperation between the movable mold rod and the fixed mold rod enhances the flexibility of mold assembly and disassembly. The extrusion outlet at the top helps to remove excess injection molding material, prevents blockage and defects, and improves the functional integrity and operational convenience of the mold.

[0011] Preferably, the mold-flipping assembly includes a mold-flipping support beam.

The third mold hook is associated with a third mold rod. The mold-flipping assembly, through the combined drive of the servo motor and the cylinder, achieves precise control of the mold-flipping action, facilitating cleaning, venting, or maintenance of the mold's interior. The design of the single-rod telescopic cylinder and the pressure rod ensures controllable force applied to the mold during flipping, preventing damage. The cooperation between the mold hook and the mold rod ensures stable gripping and positioning of the mold during flipping, comprehensively improving the automation level and safety of mold operation.

[0012] Preferably, the top mold assembly includes a top mold support beam, an L-shaped bracket on one side of the top mold support beam, a top mold cylinder on the L-shaped bracket, the top mold cylinder including a piston cylinder and a piston rod associated with the piston cylinder, a mounting plate connected to one end of the piston rod, a plurality of guide rods on the mounting plate, a top plate on the top of the guide rods, and an auxiliary positioning plate on the guide rods, the auxiliary positioning plate being associated with the top mold support beam.

[0013] The advantages of this utility model are: This application provides a sole venting device for a shoe sole injection molding machine. By constructing an integrated, modular, and highly collaborative mechanical structure system, it effectively solves the problem of air escaping due to the tight closure of the mold during traditional shoe sole injection molding. Based on a clamping support beam and combined with a multi-axis linear guide rail assembly, the device achieves precise positioning and flexible adjustment of the venting pin in three-dimensional space. This allows it to quickly and accurately penetrate key positions in the mold cavity to meet the venting needs of different mold structures, sole shapes, and injection stages. The venting pin itself uses a hollow rod body with radial venting holes of different heights. Made of copper alloy, it not only enhances gas conduction capacity but also effectively adapts to high-temperature environments, ensuring rapid gas release in the early stages of injection molding and preventing defects such as bubbles, insufficient material, and scorching. Through the coordinated control of pneumatic components such as clamping cylinders and double-rod lifting cylinders, the clamping, movement, insertion, and withdrawal processes of the venting pin are stable and reliable. Simultaneously, the shoe sole fixing plate further secures the mold. This device enhances mold stability during operation, preventing displacement or vibration from affecting venting. Furthermore, it integrates a mold-flipping assembly and a mold-top assembly, working in conjunction with the disc mold array on the main work platform to achieve automatic mold flipping, lifting, and positioning. This allows venting operations to be seamlessly integrated with the injection molding process, forming a continuous and efficient production flow.

[0028] In this embodiment, the interior of the venting needle 48 is a hollow structure from the top circular plane to the bottom conical tip. A first venting hole 50 is located in the lower middle part of the side wall of the venting needle 48. A second venting hole 51 is located below the back of the first venting hole 50. The physical height of the second venting hole 51 is lower than that of the first venting hole 50, and the difference in height is between 0.3 and 1.5 mm. Both the first venting hole 50 and the second venting hole 51 are rectangular grooves that extend radially through the rod, with the opening direction of the rectangular groove perpendicular to the rod axis. The venting needle 48 is made of copper alloy. This venting needle 48 features a hollow design and two radial venting holes at different heights, forming multi-position gas channels after the needle penetrates the mold cavity, facilitating the efficient discharge of residual air at different depths. The height difference between the two venting holes allows gas to be guided out from different levels, avoiding localized pressure buildup. The radially extending structure of the rectangular groove increases the venting flow area, while the copper alloy material ensures the thermal conductivity and structural strength of the needle, thus improving the overall venting effect and durability.

This structure uses a cylinder to drive the clamping and releasing actions, making the connection between the venting needle 48 and the mold more reliable and easier to control. The return torsion spring 45 provides elastic restoring force, ensuring that the mechanism can automatically reset after the operation is completed, improving the convenience and safety of use. At the same time, the double-rod lifting cylinder 42 is used to fix the shoe sole mold, ensuring the stability of the mold position during the venting process and preventing venting failure due to vibration or displacement. Overall, the operating accuracy and reliability of the device are improved.

[0030] In this embodiment, the multi-axis linear guide rail assembly includes a Z-axis clamping guide rail component, an X-axis clamping guide rail component on one side of the Z-axis clamping guide rail component, and a support plate connected to one bottom end of the clamping support beam 8. A Y-axis clamping guide rail component 11 is provided on the support plate. By setting multi-directional (at least including X, Y, and Z directions) linear guide rails, the venting pin 48 can flexibly adjust its position in three-dimensional space to accurately correspond to the venting needs of different areas of the mold. This modular guide rail combination design not only improves the degree of freedom of movement of the device but also enhances its adaptability to different mold structures and shoe sole shapes, providing structural guarantees for achieving refined and automated venting operations.

[0031] In this embodiment, a main linear guide rail 9 is provided on one side of the clamping support beam 8, and a support beam 7 is provided on one side of the main linear guide rail 9. A first support arm 15 and a second support arm 10 are respectively provided at the bottom of the support beam 7. A base plate 16 is provided at the bottom of the first support arm 15. A disk 3 is provided on one side of the base plate 16. A working plate 1 is provided at the center of the bottom of the disk 3. A plurality of mold slots 2 are provided on the disk 3. The number of mold slots 2 is 20 to 25 and they are arranged at equal intervals in a circumferential array. A plurality of shoe sole molds are provided on the mold slots 2. The shoe sole mold is composed of two upper mold-removing parts 29, a middle frame mold 30, and two lower mold-removing parts 31. The two upper mold-removing parts 29 and the two lower mold-removing parts 31 are all in cooperation with the middle frame mold 30. A mold-flipping assembly is provided on one side of the main linear guide rail 9, and a top mold assembly is provided on the other side of the base plate 16. The mold-flipping assembly and the top mold assembly are both associated with the shoe sole mold. This solution constructs a complete and modular working platform for a shoe sole injection molding machine. Through the array arrangement of disc 3 and mold slot 2, the possibility of multi-mold cyclic operation is realized, improving production efficiency. The reasonable layout of the main linear guide 9 and the support structure provides a stable motion platform for the venting device. At the same time, the setting of the mold flipping and top mold components allows the mold opening, closing, positioning and venting operations to be organically combined, forming a collaborative working mechanism and enhancing the coherence and automation of the overall system.

[0032] In this embodiment, a movable mold rod 35 is provided at the center of one side of the upper two mold release 29, and first mold rods 36 are provided on both sides of the movable mold rod 35.

The cooperation between the movable mold rod 35 and the fixed mold rod enhances the flexibility of mold assembly and disassembly. The extrusion outlet at the top helps to remove excess injection molding material, prevents blockage and defects, and improves the functional integrity and operational convenience of the mold.

[0033] In this embodiment, the mold-flipping assembly includes a mold-flipping support beam 4. A mold-flipping Z-guide rail is provided on one side of the mold-flipping support beam 4, and a mold-flipping X-guide rail is provided on the other side of the mold-flipping Z-guide rail.

The third mold hook 34 is associated with a third mold rod 33. The mold flipping assembly achieves precise control of the mold flipping action through the combined drive of servo motor 5 and cylinder, facilitating cleaning, venting, or maintenance of the mold interior. The design of single-rod telescopic cylinder 6 and pressure rod 25 makes the force applied to the mold during the flipping process controllable, avoiding damage. The cooperation between the mold hook and mold rod ensures the stable gripping and positioning of the mold during the flipping process, improving the overall automation level and safety of mold operation.

[0034] In this embodiment, the top mold assembly includes a top mold support beam 17. An L-shaped bracket 18 is provided on one side of the top mold support beam 17. A top mold cylinder 19 is mounted on the L-shaped bracket 18. The top mold cylinder 19 includes a piston cylinder and a piston rod associated with the piston cylinder. One end of the piston rod is connected to a mounting plate 20. Several guide rods 21 are provided on the mounting plate 20. A top plate 13 is provided on the top of each guide rod 21. An auxiliary positioning plate 14 is provided on each guide rod 21 and is associated with the top mold support beam 17. The top mold assembly, through cylinder drive and the cooperation of the guide rods 21, achieves precise vertical lifting and positioning of the shoe sole mold, ensuring the correct position of the mold during injection molding and venting. The auxiliary positioning plate 14 enhances the stability of the top mold process, preventing mold skewing or misalignment. This structure provides the prerequisite for the accurate insertion of the venting needle 48 and also facilitates the smooth opening and closing and repeated use of the mold, improving the overall reliability of the device and the consistency of the finished product.

[0035] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: the disc 3 rotates intermittently under the drive of the driving device, and the mold assembly that has completed injection molding and undergone preliminary cooling rotates with the disc 3 to the bottom of the clamping assembly and the top mold assembly.

[0036] First, the third mold hook 34 at the bottom of the mold support beam 4 descends to a position below the third mold rod 33 of the middle frame mold 30. The second mold hook 32 similarly moves to a position below the second mold rod 38 in preparation. Next, the top mold assembly begins operation. The top mold cylinder 19 drives the piston rod upwards, causing the mounting plate 20 and the top plate 13 to rise smoothly and vertically along the guide rod 21. The top plate 13 precisely acts on the movable mold rods 35 and the first mold rod 36 of the upper two mold release 29s, slightly pushing the upper two mold release 29s out of the mold cavity. Then, the... The second mold hook 32 hooks the second mold rod 38 and pulls apart the upper two mold release 29. Then, the pressure rod 25 assembly (driven by the single-rod telescopic cylinder 6) on the connecting seat 22 is pressed down to the surface of the shoe sole to fix and position it and perform initial compression and air release. Then, the second mold hook 32 at the bottom of the connecting seat 22 is activated to hook the second mold rod 38 of the upper two mold release 29, causing the upper two mold release 29 to separate from the middle frame mold 30. Then, the third mold hook 34 hooks the third mold rod 33 on the middle frame mold 30, causing the middle frame mold 30 to separate from the lower two mold release 31.

[0037] The single-rod telescopic cylinder 6 drives the pressure rod 25 to rise, releasing it from its fixed position on the sole. The clamping assembly, which is already in place, begins to operate. It moves along the guide rails in the X, Y, and Z directions, so that the opening and closing claw 39 at the end is precisely positioned at the heel of the sole. The clamping cylinder 40 drives the opening and closing claw 39, which in turn drives the clamping mechanism consisting of the L-shaped connecting plate 49, the transmission link 44, and the clamping plate 46, to gently and firmly clamp the sole. Almost simultaneously with the completion of the clamping action, since the venting pin 48 is coaxial with the clamping plate 46, the venting pin 48 is naturally aligned with the sole. At this time, the double-rod lifting cylinder 42 pushes the push plate and the sole fixing pressure plate 43 down to press the sole firmly in the working position, preventing it from shifting or vibrating in subsequent operations. Then, the exhaust needle 48 is driven by the connecting rod clamp to insert. Utilizing its hollow rod structure and two radial exhaust holes (first exhaust hole 50 and second exhaust hole 51) at different heights in the lower part of the rod, the gas generated inside the sole cavity is quickly guided into the needle body and discharged, avoiding the accumulation of gas that may cause bubbles, voids, scorching, or surface defects.
