Description
Background of the Invention
This invention relates to a shoe sole molding system, wherein in-and-out or separation of the mold members is achieved automatically.
In general, a shoe sole molding system requires mold members, heat applying means to the mold members, and raising-lowering means of the mold members. The mold normally comprises an upper mold member for molding of the contour, a middle mold member for molding of the inner shape and a lower mold member for molding of the bottom face of a shoe sole.
With the typical molding system, the raising and lowering of the mold members, inserting of rubber material into the mold members and location of the members in registration have been achieved manually. Such manual operation has a number of definite disadvantages.
A considerable amount of labor force is required because raising and lowering of the heavy mold members has to be repeated manually causing a worker to feel tired very easily. As a consequence, work efficiency is very low thus producing bad quality of goods. In addition, the molding requires very experienced worker, because molding time depends upon only his experience.
Summary of the Invention
The present invention is directed towards overcoming the above disadvantages.
The shoe sole molding system of the present invention comprises a press having three mold members therewithin and a mold control assembly. The mold control assembly comprises a carriage member and a body on the carriage member. The assembly body comprises spaced front and rear wall members extending upwardly. Mounted within the wall members are nested a bigger channel frame and a smaller channel frame. Each frame has a link for separating the mold members. A plurality of cylinders are provided for pulling out, pushing back, and separating the mold members.

A pair of chins 209 each passes over the sprockets 184 on the joining plate 183 of the third planar slider member and fixed to the brackets 198 and 173 of the stepped member 197 and thecond slider member 170.
Referring to FIG. 9, a pair of brackets 151 each is fixed to the corresponding lower channel 125. To the upper face of each of the brackets 151 are fixed a shorter pin 152 for being received in the passage 148 in the middle channel 145 and a longer pin 153 for being received in the passage 148B in the upper channel 155 through the passage 148A in the middle channel 145.
Referring to FIG. 20, there is shown a channel-mold associating member 160. The channel-mold associating member 160 comprises an up-and-down protruding member 161 for engaging with the notches 25 in the mold members 21 and 22, a pair of horizontally extending members 161A, a downwardly extending member 167, 168 fixed to the downwardly extending member 167 and a sense switch 165 fixed to the downwardly extending member 167, the downwardly extending member 167 being rounded at the lower end thereof and one of the horizontally extending member being L-shaped. The mold-channel cooperable member is nested within the middle and the upper channel 145 and 155 of the inner frame and the outer frame.
With the assembly of the present invention described hereinabove, the operation of the shoe-sole molding system is now to be described.
Preferably, three presses P are provided in spaced parallel relationship and the mold control assembly is cooperable with the presses P consecutively by the use of the time span of the molding in one press.
The registration of the mold control assembly with the press P causes the mold control assembly rollable by the rollers 41 to stop by by switches 33. Then, the actuation of the carriage anchor cylinder 55 the pin 56 is lowered and received in the hollow boss 32 resulting in the keeping of the mold control assembly in place.
Then, upon actuation of the second slider control cylinder 178, the second slider control piston 179 will move slidably along the cross shafts 177 together with the second stepped slider member 170, thereby causing the pinions 186 to be rotated and engaging along the teeth 143 of the open casings 144. Simultaneously with this movement of the pinions 186, the third planar slider member 180' moves slidably, the distance of this latter movement being twice the distance of the second stepped slider 170 due to the teeth 143 and 181 and the third planar slider member 180'. Simultaneous with the before-described movement of the second stepped slider member 170 and the third planar slider member 180', the short shaft 205 moves from the mid position between the fixed member 189 and the rotatable member 190 through the passage defined by the upwardly extending channel 188 and the fixed member 189 towards the press P.
Simultaneous with the movement of the second stepped slider member 170 and the third planar slider member 180', the fourth cylindrical slider member 195 moves slidably towards the press P, the moving distance of the fourth cylindrical slider member 195 being approximately one and a half times of the third toothed slider member 170, resulting in three times of the second stepped slider member 170 due to connection of the chains 209 to the brockets 173 and 185 through the sprockets 184.
When the movement of the second stepped slider member 170, the third planar slider member 180' and the fourth cylindrical slider member 195 stop moving toward the press P, the locking elements 213 will engage the latch member 26 of the lower mold member 23.
After the locking elements 213 engage with the latch member 26, the slider control piston 179 will retract towards the slider control cylinder 178 causing the mold members 21, 22 and 23 to be telescoped within the corresponding channels 125, 145 and 155. Simultaneous with the telescoping process of the mold members, the short shaft 205 returns the passage between the fixed member 189 and the upwardly extending channel 188 and then pushes the rotatable member 190 to the position shown by the phantom line in FIG. 8 for passing along the rotatable member 190. In this condition, the longer and shorter pins 153 and 152 are in contact with and push the end-rounded member 167 of the associating member 160, springs 168 being in compression.
After the slider control cylinder 178 stops operating the bigger frame control cylinders 60 and the small frame control cylinder 85 will actuate for moving the bigger frame and the smaller frame upwardly.
According as the bigger and smaller frames move upwardly, the longer and shorter pins 153 and 152 pass through the corresponding passages 148B, 148A and 148 causing the associating members 160 to urge to move toward the corresponding mold members by the force of the spring 168 and be inserted into the corresponding notches 25 in the middle and upper members, thereby enabling the engaged pairs of channels and mold members to move together. Simultaneous with the upward movement of the bigger frame and smaller frame, the locking element 65 on the side uprights 102 of the smaller frame member will disengage the protruding holding member 66 on the channels 145 of the smaller frame member.
Simultaneous with the upward movement of the frame members, the links 45 and 76 move upwardly with the inwardly protruding pin 76' and the outwardly protruding pin 45' being slidably inserted in the longer outward groove 142 and the shorter inward groove 142 in the downwardly extending members 140 of the first slider member 137. Thereafter, the link control cylinder 135 actuates the link control piston 136 to move towards the body rear wall member 106, thereby pulling the links 45 and 76 towards the body rear wall member 106.
Simultaneous with the pulling movement of the links 45 and 76, the smaller frame and the bigger frame are raised with the corresponding mold members 21 and 22 being engaged therewith. After the frames stop in their raised position, only the bigger frame member is lowered slightly causing the ouwardly protruding pins 76' to remove from the groove 142 to the groove 74 of the uppermost regular tetragon-shaped frame member 70. Thereafter, the molding product is removed from the mold members and the rubber material is inserted into the mold members.
Following this, the link control piston 136 moves towards the body front wall member 105. Simultaneous with this movement, only the middle mold nesting channel 145 of the smaller frame is lowered, with the upper mold nesting channel 155 remaining in the raised position. Thereafter, the smaller frame control piston of the cylinder 85 is lowered causing the outwardly protruding pins 45' to remove from the grooves 141. Thereafter, the link control piston 136 again moves toward the body rear wall member 106 and the bigger frame control pistons of the cylinders 60 are again raised causing the outwardly protruding pins 76' again are received in the groove 142 in the member 140. Following this, the link control piston 136 retracts towards the body front wall member causing the upper molding receivable channel of the bigger frame to abut against the middle mold receivable channel of the smaller frame.
After the above-described movement, the bigger frame control piston of the cylinders 60 are lowered and the fourth cylindrical slider member 195 inserts the mold 20 into the press P.
The process of the insertion of the mold 20 into the press will now be described in detail. According as the cylindrical slider member 195 moves towards the press P, the shorter shaft 205 of the rack 200 will slide along the longer face of the rotatable member 190. Immediately after the shaft 205 passes the pivot member 192 the rotatable member 190 will be in the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 8, whereby the rack 200 will move towards the teeth 181 away from the upper channel 188 as long.
Over the cover plate 100 and the shafts 112 the bigger, outer frame member and the smaller, inner frame member are provided one above the other.
The bigger or outer frame member comprises a base plate 90, side wall members 103 upwardly fixed to the both side ends 91 of the base plate and channnel bars 155 pivoted to the side wall members 103.. The channel bars 155 are joined by a means 63 at the upper faces.
The bigger base 90 has a plurality of holes 92 in registration with the recesses 111 in the cover plate 100 through which the shafts 112 pass. Some of the holes 92 have fixing means 97 for closely passing the shafts around thereof. A bigger center hole 93 is provided in the bigger base 90 for passing the small frame control cylinder 86 therethrough. For controlling the bigger frame, the cylinders 60 are fixed to the underside of the bigger base 90.
Referring particularly to FIG. 14, a pair of the side walls 103 fixed to both side ends of the bigger base 90 each has a link 76 pivoted at 132 thereto and an inwardly extending protrusion 76'. The link 76 is pivoted at 77 to the channel bar 155 and the side wall member 103 is pivoted at 133 to the channel bar 155.
A pair of spaced channel bars 155 each has a channel portion facing in an inward direction within which the middle mold member is telescopic, and shorter and longer longitudinal passages 152 and 153 (see FIG. 9)
