Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a machine for manufacturing shoes, and more particularly to an intelligent digital shoelace head processing machine. [Background technology]

[0002] FIG. 1 shows an example of a conventional shoelace head processing machine. As shown in the figure, this shoelace head processing machine is configured such that a conveying means 13 conveys the string material 14 between a first pulling member 11 and a second pulling member 12, and the string material 14 is stretched across the first pulling member 11 and the second pulling member 12. The string material 14 is then pulled in a straight line by the rotation of the first pulling member 11 and the second pulling member 12, and is then cut using a cutting means (not shown) to create a shoelace.

[0003] That is, in this conventional shoelace head processing machine, the first pulling member 11 and the second pulling member 12 continue to rotate, while the conveying means 13 moves back and forth to continue carrying the string material 14 between the first pulling member 11 and the second pulling member 12, thereby forming a plurality of pulling portions 141, which are portions of the string material 14 that are stretched between the first pulling member 11 and the second pulling member 12, and by pulling the string material 14 straight, a cutting means (not shown) located between the first pulling member 11 and the second pulling member 12 cuts out shoelaces from each pulling portion 141 of the string material 14.

[0004] Patent Document 1 also discloses a similar shoelace head processing machine.

[0005] However, such conventional shoelace head processing machines are large in volume and difficult to maintain. In addition, because the lace material 14 is pulled straight and cut under high tension, there is a large error in length when the pulling force from the first pulling member 11 and the second pulling member 12 is removed, resulting in low yields.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Chinese Patent Application Publication No. 112137250A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an intelligent digital shoelace head processing machine that can improve yield. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an intelligent digital shoelace head processing machine that processes a lace material and a tape into a shoelace having a lace body made of the lace material and lace heads made of the tape at both ends of the lace body, the intelligent digital shoelace head processing machine comprising: a housing means, a material supply means, a head forming means, and a control means; the material supply means includes a cord material roller assembly disposed in the housing means for transporting the cord material along a predetermined material transport path, a tape supply assembly disposed in the housing means for transporting the tape, and a material supply drive assembly for driving the cord material roller assembly and the tape supply assembly, the cord material roller assembly having a rotatable first cord guide wheel such that the cord material hangs down substantially under its own weight after passing the first cord guide wheel; the head forming means is disposed in the housing means and is configured to soften the tape from the tape supply assembly, apply it to the lace material from the lace material roller assembly, and then cut out the lace material with the tape attached thereto as the shoelace; The control means is signally connected to the material supply drive assembly and the head forming means so as to control the material supply drive assembly and the head forming means. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] With the above-described configuration, the present invention allows the lace material transported by the lace material roller assembly to hang down naturally after passing through the first lace guide wheel, allowing cutting and tape application processes to be performed under low tension. This results in less variation in shoelace length compared to conventional cases where the lace material is pulled in a straight line and cut under high tension, thereby increasing yield.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] In order to more clearly describe the objectives, technical means, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical means in the embodiments of the present invention in combination with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention depicted and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided below in the accompanying drawings does not constitute any limitation on the protection scope of the present invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention.

[0012] 2 to 5 show an embodiment of the intelligent digital shoelace head processing machine of the present invention. This intelligent digital shoelace head processing machine is suitable for attaching tape 82 to lace material 81 to create multiple shoelaces 83 (only one shoelace 83 is shown in the figures). The tape 82 has multiple designs 821. Each shoelace 83 has a lace body 831 cut from the lace material 81 and two lace heads 832 made from the tape 82 at both ends of the lace body 831. The intelligent digital shoelace head processing machine comprises a housing means 2, a material supply means 3, a head forming means 4, a straightening means 5, a control means 6, and a shoelace collecting means 7.

[0013] The housing means 2 has a base 21 and a cutter base 22 arranged on the upper surface of the base 21. The cutter base 22 has a processing opening 221 extending along the vertical direction Z and allowing the string material 81 to pass through.

[0014] The material supply means 3 includes a cord material roller assembly 31 disposed in the housing means 2 and suitable for transporting a cord material 81 along a material transport path not shown, a tape supply assembly 32 disposed in the housing means 2 and suitable for transporting a tape 82, a material supply drive assembly 33 used to drive the cord material roller assembly 31 and the tape supply assembly 32, a sensor assembly 34, and an adjustment drive assembly 35 disposed in the housing means 2.

[0015] As shown in Figures 2, 3, 6 and 7, the cord material roller assembly 31 includes a first supporter 311 disposed on the cutter base 22, a second supporter 312 disposed at a distance from the first supporter 311 in the front-rear direction Y and protruding from the base 21 in the up-down direction Z, a swinging supporter 313 swinging relative to the first supporter 311 at a pivot point 310, a first cord guide wheel 314 rotatably disposed on the first supporter 311, and a second supporter 312 rotatably disposed on the first supporter 311. The supporter 313 includes a second string guide wheel 315 disposed on the supporter 312, a tension adjustment wheel 316 rotatably disposed on the second supporter 312 and movable in the vertical direction Z, a plurality of direction change wheels 317 rotatably disposed on the first supporter 311 and the second supporter 312 and disposed so that the string material 81 is wound around them, and a thickness sensing wheel 318 adjacent to the first string guide wheel 314 and rotatably disposed on the swinging supporter 313. The thickness sensing wheel 318 and the first string guide wheel 314 are located on both sides of the string material 81. The tension adjustment wheel 316 is located between the first string guide wheel 314 and the second string guide wheel 315 in the material conveying path. When the swinging supporter 313 swings relative to the first supporter 311, the thickness sensing wheel 318 is driven to move closer to or away from the first string guide wheel 314.

[0016] The string material 81 enters through the direction change wheel 317 adjacent to the second string guide wheel 315, passes around the second string guide wheel 315 and the tension adjustment wheel 316, and then exits between the first string guide wheel 314 and the thickness sensing wheel 318. After passing through the first string guide wheel 314, the string material 81 is positioned in the processing opening 221 so as to hang down substantially naturally. In this embodiment, the material transport path is a path that makes multiple turns to pass through each direction change wheel 317, the first string guide wheel 314, the second string guide wheel 315, and the tension adjustment wheel 316.

[0017] 3, 6, and 7, the tape supply assembly 32 has a tape guide wheel 321 that is driven to rotate and is used to transport the tape 82, and a guide member 322 that is disposed on the base 21. The guide member 322 is a hollow plate-like body that extends along the front-rear direction Y, and defines a tape passage 323 that communicates with the processed opening 221, and a sensor window 324 that has an opening in the left-right direction X and communicates with the communicating tape passage 323.

[0018] 2, 3 and 6, the material supply drive assembly 33 includes a first motor 331 disposed on the first supporter 311 and used to drive the first string guide wheel 314, a second motor 332 disposed on the second supporter 312 and used to drive the second string guide wheel 315, and a tape motor 333 disposed on the base 21 and used to drive the tape guide wheel 321. In this embodiment, stepping motors are used as the first motor 331, the second motor 332 and the tape motor 333, but it goes without saying that other types of drive means can be used as long as they can appropriately drive the first string guide wheel 314, the second string guide wheel 315 and the tape guide wheel 321.

[0019] 3, 4, 5, and 7, the sensor assembly 34 includes a thickness sensor 341 disposed on the first supporter 311, a pattern sensor 342 disposed on the housing means 2 so as to be movable in the front-to-rear direction Y, an upper tension sensor 343 disposed on the second supporter 312, a lower tension sensor 344 disposed below the second supporter 312 so as to be spaced apart from the upper tension sensor 343 in the up-down direction Z, a thickness sensor plate 345 disposed on the upper part of the oscillating supporter 313, and upper and lower sensor plates 346 disposed on the tension adjustment wheel 316 and arranged to move together with the tension adjustment wheel 316. Incidentally, the tension adjustment wheel 316 is not shown in FIG. 7 due to the angle.

[0020] As the thickness sensor plate 345 swings together with the swinging supporter 313, the distance between the thickness sensor 341 changes, and the thickness sensor 341 detects changes in the gap between the thickness sensing wheel 318 and the first string guide wheel 314 and outputs a corresponding signal, thereby making it possible to detect abnormal conditions such as foreign matter adhering to the string material 81 or the formation of a knot.

[0021] The pattern sensor 342 is positioned corresponding to the sensor window 324 so as to be located next to the tape 82, and outputs a signal based on the result of detecting the pattern 821 on the tape 82 through the sensor window 324, thereby controlling the supply of the tape 82 according to the detected pattern 821.

[0022] Therefore, for example, when the string 81 is pulled straight due to the difference in rotation speed between the first motor 331 and the second motor 332 and tension is generated in the string 81, the tension adjustment wheel 316 moves the upper or lower sensor plate 346 up or down, and the upper tension sensor 343 and the lower tension sensor 344 detect the distance from the upper or lower sensor plate 346 to detect whether the tension adjustment wheel 316 has reached its limit position, and the rotation speed of the first motor 331 and the second motor 332 can be controlled according to this detection result.

[0023] The adjustment drive assembly 35 has an adjustment base 23 attached to the top surface of the base 21, an adjustment motor 351 arranged on the adjustment base 23, an interlocking module 352 connected to the adjustment motor 351 and moved by the adjustment motor 351, and a moving member 353 connected to the interlocking module 352 and on which the pattern sensor 342 is arranged. The adjustment motor 351 is used to drive the interlocking module 352 and the moving member 353, thereby driving the movement of the pattern sensor 342 in the front-to-rear direction Y. In this embodiment, the interlocking module 352 includes a first belt wheel 354 rotatably arranged on the adjustment base 23, a second belt wheel 355 rotatably arranged at a position spaced apart from the first belt wheel 354 in the left-right direction X, a belt 356 looped around the first belt wheel 354 and the second belt wheel 355 to interlock them, and a worm 357 connected to the second belt wheel 355 and meshing with the moving member 353. When the size of the pattern 821 changes, the adjustment drive assembly 35 moves the pattern sensor 342 in the front-back direction Y, thereby adjusting the position of the pattern 821 as the adjustment tape 82 is fed. This ensures that the pattern 821 is positioned appropriately even if it has changed, and that each shoelace head has a complete pattern 821 when it is cut out from the tape 82.

[0024] 2, 3, and 6, the head forming means 4 includes a first cutter module 41 and a second cutter module 42 connected to the cutter table 22 and arranged on the cutter table 22 so as to be movable in the left-right direction X, a cutter drive assembly 43 arranged on the base 21 and used to drive the first cutter module 41 and the second cutter module 42, a liquid spray assembly 44 arranged on the base 21 adjacent to the processing opening 221 and used to spray liquid onto the tape 82, a foreign object removal member 45 arranged on the cutter table 22 so as to be movable adjacent to the processing opening 221, and an upper clamp 46 and a lower clamp 47 arranged on both sides of the cutter table 22 in the up-down direction Z. The lower clamp 47 is configured to be movable in the left-right direction X, and is therefore suitable for clamping and holding the string material 81. The foreign matter removal member 45 moves in the front-to-back direction Y above the processing opening 221 to clean and remove foreign matter around the processing opening 221. In this embodiment, the liquid spraying assembly 44 softens the tape 82 by spraying acetone onto the tape 82.

[0025] The first cutter module 41 and the second cutter module 42 are disposed adjacent to each other so as to be in close contact with each other in the vertical direction Z. The first cutter module 41 has a first main cutter 411 disposed at one end of the cutter table 22 so as to be movable in the left-right direction X, a first sub-cutter 412 disposed at the other end of the cutter table 22 so as to be movable in the left-right direction X, a first limiting member 413 disposed on the cutter table 22 so as to face the first sub-cutter 412, and an elastic member 414 disposed between the first limiting member 413 and the first sub-cutter 412. The first sub-cutter 412 is disposed at a distance from the first limiting member 413 and has an abutment portion 415 to which the elastic member 414 is attached. The second cutter module 42 has a second main cutter 421 arranged at one end of the cutter table 22 so as to be movable in the left-right direction X, a second sub-cutter 422 arranged at the other end of the cutter table 22 so as to be movable in the left-right direction X, a second limiting member 423 arranged on the cutter table 22 so as to face the second sub-cutter 422, and an elastic member 424 arranged between the second limiting member 423 and the second sub-cutter 422. The second sub-cutter 422 is arranged at a distance from the second limiting member 423 and has an abutment portion 425 to which the elastic member 424 is attached.

[0026] The cutter drive assembly 43 has a drive member 431, a transmission member 432 connected to the drive member 431 so as to be driven by the drive member 431, a first connecting member 433 connected to the first main cutter 411 and movably connected to the transmission member 432, a second connecting member 434 connected between the transmission member 432 and the second main cutter 421, and a reset member 435 connected between the first connecting member 433 and the transmission member 432.

[0027] The straightening means 5 has a gas guide member 51 arranged below the first string guide wheel 314 in the vertical direction Z, and a string guide member 52 arranged below the processing opening 221 in the vertical direction Z. The gas guide member 51 defines a gas guide space 511 through which the string material 81 passes. With this configuration, the string material 81 can be held substantially vertical in the vertical direction Z by utilizing a flow of air blown by, for example, an air pump (not shown). In addition, a tapered hole is formed inside the string guide member 52, so that the string material 81 can be guided to the lower clamp 47.

[0028] The control means 6 is signal-connected to the material supply drive assembly 33, the sensor assembly 34, and the head forming means 4, thereby enabling the entire intelligent digital shoelace head processing machine of the present invention to operate automatically and quantitatively, and also to detect abnormal conditions during operation. The control means 6 has an operation panel 61 that receives control commands for the material supply drive assembly 33, the sensor assembly 34, and the head forming means 4, and a recording module 62 that is used to store data.

[0029] The shoelace collecting means 7 has a collecting tray 71, an upright post 72 extending upward in the vertical direction Z from the collecting tray 71, and a plurality of shoelace collecting rods 73 arranged at the upper end of the upright post 72 at angular intervals from each other.

[0030] In the head forming means 4 configured in this manner, the elastic members 414, 424 move the contact portions 415, 425 away from the first limiting member 413 and the second limiting member 423, causing the first main cutter 411 and the first sub-cutter 412 to move away from each other, and the reset member 435 applies a spring force to the first main cutter 411 to move the first main cutter 411 toward the processing opening 211.In this standby position where the second main cutter 421 and the second sub-cutter 422 are separated from each other, the string material 81 transported to the head forming means 4 can enter between the first main cutter 411 and the first sub-cutter 412, and between the second main cutter 421 and the second sub-cutter 422.

[0031] After the string material 81 being transported to the head forming means 4 enters between the first main cutter 411 and the first sub-cutter 412, and between the second main cutter 421 and the second sub-cutter 422, the first main cutter 411 moves in the left-right direction X to come into contact with the first sub-cutter 412, and the second main cutter 421 moves in the left-right direction X to come into contact with the second sub-cutter 422, and the first cutter module 41 and the second cutter module 42 attach a portion of the tape 82 to the string material 81 so as to wrap around the string material 81. Furthermore, with the tape 82 and lace material 81 held and fixed together by the first cutter module 41 and the second cutter module 42, the relative movement of the first connecting member 433 and the transmission member 432 is utilized to cause the abutment portion 415 of the first sub-cutter 412 to abut against the first limiting member 413, stopping the movement of the first main cutter 411. However, the second main cutter 421 moves forward slightly further, and therefore the position where the first cutter module 41 clamps the lace material 81 and the position where the second cutter module 42 clamps the lace material 81 are misaligned in the left-right direction X (i.e., the relative movement of the first cutter module 41 and the second cutter module 42 in the left-right direction X), so that the portion of the lace material 81 wrapped in the tape 82 is cut, allowing the lace material 81 to be cut and cut out as shoelaces 83.

[0032] Simultaneously with the above operation, the material supply drive assembly 33 rotates the first string guide wheel 314, the second string guide wheel 315, and the tape guide wheel 321 to transport the string material 81 and tape 82 to the processing opening 221. Then, the liquid spray assembly 44 sprays acetone onto a portion of the surface of the tape 82 to melt and soften that portion. A predetermined length of the string material 81 is clamped and held by the upper clamp 46 and the lower clamp 47, and then the first cutter module 41 and the second cutter module 42 attach the softened portion of the tape 82 so that it wraps around the string material 81. The portion of the string material 81 where the tape 82 is attached is cut by the operation of the first cutter module 41 and the second cutter module 42. As a result, one string head portion 832 is formed on each of the upper and lower sides of the cut portion. That is, the lace head 832 below the cut point becomes the lace head 832 at the upper end of one of the lower shoelaces 83, and the lace head 832 above the cut point becomes the lace head 832 at the lower end of one of the upper shoelaces 83.

[0033] Then, by moving the lower clamp 47 to transport the single lower shoelace 83 to the shoelace collecting rod 73, releasing it and hanging it on the shoelace collecting rod 73, this single lower shoelace 83 is passed to the shoelace collecting means 7 as a product, and then a tape that combines the single upper shoelace 83 into a single lower shoelace 83 can be attached and cut.

[0034] Compared to conventional technology, the intelligent digital shoelace head processing machine of the present invention uses the lace roller assembly 31 to attach the tape to the lace material 81 under low tension, allowing it to hang down naturally. This reduces variation in shoelace length compared to conventional methods of cutting lace material under high tension by pulling it in a straight line, thereby increasing yield. Furthermore, since the material conveying path bends multiple times, the overall size of the housing can be reduced. Furthermore, the use of the control means 6 and sensor assembly 34 allows the entire intelligent digital shoelace head processing machine of the present invention to operate automatically and quantitatively, and is also able to detect abnormal conditions during operation.

[0035] Specifically, by using the control means 6, the user can precisely control the first motor 331, the second motor 332, and the tape motor 333, particularly the rotation speed, thereby precisely controlling the speed at which the cord 81 and the tape 82 are fed. Furthermore, by using such precise control to differentiate the rotation speeds of the first motor 331 and the second motor 332, the tension generated in the cord 81 can also be controlled. Furthermore, by using the sensor assembly 34, the control means 6 can detect abnormal conditions during operation, and can control the operation of each part based on the signal output from the sensor assembly 34, allowing for precise and flexible control.

[0036] In this way, the intelligent digital shoelace head processing machine of the present invention utilizes the control means 6 to control the material supply drive assembly 33 and the head forming means 4, thereby achieving digitalization and enabling more precise control than conventional technologies that rely solely on the user's operating experience and intuition.

[0037] The intelligent digital shoelace head processing machine of the present invention is digitized, allowing all operating settings and abnormal conditions to be stored in a recording module, so different parameters can be set for different shoe sizes or shoelaces made of different materials, eliminating the need to reset the settings and allowing for the creation of customized shoelaces. Furthermore, by utilizing the digitalization of system parameters and various settings, the signals output from the control means 6 and sensor assembly 34 can be easily read, which can be used to transfer them to, for example, other manufacturing processes or a manager's equipment, facilitating management, and the digitized data can be shared when equipment is expanded. Therefore, the intelligent digital shoelace head processing machine of the present invention reliably achieves the objects of the present invention.

[0038] The above-described embodiments are illustrative for explaining the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make slight changes or modifications to the above-described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the gist of the present invention should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
