A kind of toe-cap for safety protection and manufacture method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to military project and labour protection toe-cap for safety protection and manufacture method thereof.Wherein, toe-cap or toe-case are to be used in the wear of foot, are used for the local toe cap of strengthening shoes on the structure, thus the security that improves shoes.
Background technology
Injured for preventing that tiptoe is subjected to unexpected strong bump, initial safety toes has the toe-cap that is made of a steel in using, yet, make the security protection toe-cap that is made of a steel, will increase the weight of protection toe-cap, increase people's live load.Simultaneously, for special force, the steel safety toes can not be by the safety detection in magnetic field, to counteract activity, for this reason, develop at present the toe-cap that the thermosetting that strengthened by the reinforcing fibre with glass fibre and so on and thermoplastic resin are made, thereby alleviate the weight of protective footwear with this, simultaneously, to special force, can be smoothly safety check by special place.
Because the charge that toe-cap made from the thermosetting resin of non-environmental protection or toe-case will be faced with environmental pollution, therefore, thermoplastic resin is trend place from now in the middle of developing as the material of safety toes.
Initial is that the thermoplastic resin that contains reinforcing fibre is made sheet material with the making material of thermoplas tic resin composite as such toe-cap, makes toe-cap by the sheet material mold pressing again.Specifically, be that the sheet material that will contain the thermoplastic resin of reinforcing fibre is cut into trapezoidal shape and carries out weighing according to toe-cap.At this moment, be difficult to sheet material is cut into fixing weight.Therefore, the weight of the sheet material that cuts out for adjusting applies to the sheet spare of the suitable shape of a slice the appropriate position on the sheet material usually, and for example by far-infrared heating stove the sheet material that forms is heated, and makes the material fusion softening.As shown in Figure 1, the sheet material 10 that will be under the soft state is placed in the depression 12 of a shaping dies or instrument 11b, exert pressure and the situation of heat under carry out the compression molded toe-cap that forms.
To cause following problem by the said method moulding:
(1) because the material of slabbing must carry out the plasticising processing by fusion once more, so material trends towards oxidation and hot deterioration;
When (2) being fed in a molding tool after sheet material is through cutting and hot melt effect, it must be forced to crooked to be placed in the mould.Therefore be difficult to realize automation and rationalization;
(3) use sheet material to come that sheet material is carried out the weight adjusting and can cause some problems like this, descend or change as the intensity that produces weld seam or toe-cap at the article that form.
For addressing the above problem, patent 02129732.0 is addressed a kind of preparation method who protects toe-cap.
A kind of preparation method who protects toe-cap that this patent is addressed is: the fiber particle material of placing long fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin in a plan shaping dies, intend toe-cap 1 to begin to take shape one applying under the situation of heat the described fiber particle material of extruding, see Fig. 2.The plan toe-cap that forms is placed in the position in the mould that is used to form protective shoe toecap, sees Fig. 3, and exert pressure and heat is seen Fig. 4 with the toe-cap of compression molded protective footwear to described plan toe-cap.
Method that this patent is addressed and prepared toe-cap thereof have the following disadvantages:
(1) long fibre is not orientated in toe-cap, and intensity is roughly even everywhere, but protects toe-cap, and especially military toe-cap is very high for the intensity and the impact property requirement of toe-cap tip position, and the toe-cap of this method preparation is difficult to satisfy the high standard toe-cap to performance demands;
(2) because the automatic weighing of long fibre is directly sent in the plan toe-cap mould, be not suitable for preparing the local toe-cap of strengthening;
(3) because fiber orientation isotropism is not suitable for adopting the local mode of strengthening again, so prepare the toe-cap of identical performance standard, needed glass volume content is higher, has increased the weight of toe-cap virtually;
(4) the same with preceding method, the described method of this patent has adopted post bake equally, does not solve the problem that material trends towards oxidation and hot deterioration, has the phenomenon that wastes energy too;
(5) therefore this method will, need be cooled off mould once more to the toe-cap mold heated to intending the toe-cap fusion, and toe-cap can will influence production efficiency like this with moulding, cause energy waste simultaneously.
