Definitions

  • This invention is concerned with apparatus for operating progressively along selected portions of shoe uppers, more particularly apparatus for roughing and thereafter applying adhesive to selected portions of shoe uppers.
  • Each of these apparatuses comprises a shoe support, tool supporting means, and means, including a plurality of n.c. motors, for effecting relative movement between the shoe support and the tool supporting means in directions extending lengthwise, widthwise and heightwise of a shoe supported by the shoe support, whereby to cause a tool supported by the tool supporting means to operate progressively along marginal portions of such shoe, together with processor means for controlling the operation of said n.c. motors in accordance with a programmed instruction, comprising a data set including digitised coordinate axis values, using three coordinate axes, for a plurality of successive selected points along the marginal portions of the shoe. (By the phrase "n.c.
  • motor where used herein is to be understood a motor the operation of which is controlled by control signals supplied thereto in accordance with digitised information appropriate to the desired operation of the motor. Examples of such motors are stepping motors and d.c. servo motors.)
  • each apparatus has a path-determining mode of operation in which a tool is moved successively to selected points along the marginal portions of the shoe under operator control, the coordinate axis values for each such selected point being "taught" and stored to form part of the required data set.
  • a path-determining mode of operation in which a tool is moved successively to selected points along the marginal portions of the shoe under operator control, the coordinate axis values for each such selected point being "taught" and stored to form part of the required data set.
  • the exposed roughed region will provide an unsightly appearance in the finished shoe, while on the other hand if the roughed region falls short of the region to which the shoe component is to be secured, then there is likely to be a perceptible gap between the component and the shoe upper which will not only be unsightly but also could allow e.g. water to penetrate into the shoe.
  • the operator has an opportunity between the roughing and subsequent adhesive-applying operations to inspect the shoe bottom with a view to ensuring that the roughing operation has been performed satisfactorily prior to subjecting the shoe to a subsequent adhesive-applying operation.
  • the roughing is deficient, it is then possible for the operator to "touch up" the roughing of the shoe by manual presentation to a suitable roughing device.
  • the operator is possible for the operator to "edit” the digitised information in order to correct for such deficiency. Under such circumstances, however, unless the operator then also corrects the digitised information for controlling the adhesive-applying operation, the roughing region and the region to which adhesive is subsequently applied will not coincide.
  • the invention thus provides, in one of its several aspects, an apparatus for roughing and thereafter applying adhesive to selected portions of shoe uppers comprising a shoe support, tool supporting means, and means, including a plurality of n.c. motors, for effecting relative movement between the shoe support and the tool supporting means, along at least two coordinate axes, whereby to cause a tool supported by the tool supporting means to operate upon a selected portion of a shoe upper supported by the shoe support progressively along a desired path, together with processor means for controlling the operation of said n.c.
  • motors in accordance with a programmed instruction, comprising a data set including digitised coordinate axis values, using said at least two coordinate axes, for a plurality of successive selected points along the desired path, the apparatus further comprising an optical scanning device, operable after a roughing operation has been effected, for scanning the region which has been roughed and for supplying information to the processor means relating to such region as scanned, and the processor means determining, from such information, the location of a boundary of such region and creating a data set including digitised coordinate axis values for a plurality of points along such boundary, such data set constituting a, or part of a, programmed instruction for controlling the path of an adhesive-applying tool whereby adhesive is applied to the previously roughed region up to said boundary thereof.
  • the invention is especially, but not exclusively, suitable for use in an apparatus wherein relative movement is effected between the shoe support and tool supporting means along three coordinate axes, and each data set includes digitised coordinate axis values, using said three coordinate axes, for the selected points along the path of such movement.
  • the invention further provides, in another of its several aspects, an apparatus for roughing and thereafter applying adhesive to marginal portions of lasted shoes comprising a shoe support for supporting a lasted shoe, tool supporting means and means, including a plurality of n.c.
  • motors for effecting relative movement between the shoe support and the tool supporting means, in directions extending lengthwise, widthwise and heightwise of a shoe supported by the shoe support, whereby to cause a tool supported by the tool supporting means to operate progressively along marginal portions of such shoe, together with processor means for controlling the operation of said n.c.
  • motors in accordance with a programmed instruction, comprising a data set including digitised coordinate axis values, using at least two coordinate axes, for a plurality of successive selected points along the marginal portions of the shoe, the apparatus further comprising an optical scanning device operable after a roughing operation has been effected, for scanning the region which has been roughed and for supplying information to the processor means relating to such region as scanned, and the processor means determining, from such information, the location of an outer boundary of such region and guiding an adhesive-applying tool along the marginal portions of a shoe supported by the shoe support whereby adhesive is applied to the previously roughed region up to said outer boundary thereof.
  • the apparatus comprises a single shoe support and the tool supporting means is arranged to support both roughing means and also adhesive-applying means.
  • relative movement between the tool supporting means and the shoe support takes place in such a manner that two operating "passes" are effected over the shoe bottom, firstly by the roughing tool and thereafter by the adhesive-applying tool.
  • the same programmed instruction may be used for each "pass", subject to modification in the second "pass” in accordance with information supplied by the scanning device.
  • the apparatus may comprise a first, roughing, station and a second, adhesive-applying, station, each of the stations comprising a shoe support, tool supporting means and means for effecting relative movement as aforesaid therebetween.
  • each such station may be provided by one of the commercially available apparatuses referred to above. Again in such an apparatus the same programmed instruction may be provided for both the roughing and the adhesive-applying operations. Thus, in this case only a path-determining operation of the roughing apparatus need be effected and the data set thus provided may then be used to control not only the roughing apparatus but also the adhesive-applying apparatus.
  • the data set, constituting the, or part of the, programmed instruction is modified by the processor means in accordance with the information supplied thereto as aforesaid by the optical scanning device.
  • the data set representing the general outline of the path of the tools is modified, after the roughing tool has executed its operation, so as to ensure that the adhesive-applying tool causes adhesive to be applied over the roughed region up to the boundary thereof.
  • individual programmed instructions may be provided for the roughing and the adhesive-applying operations.
  • the data set constituting the, or part of the, programmed instruction for the adhesive-applying operation is modified by the processor means in accordance with the information supplied thereto as aforesaid by the optical scanning device.
  • the data set for controlling the path of a tool supported by the tool supporting means also includes information which relates to the angular disposition of the tool in relation to the shoe upper at the selected points and which controls said angular disposition during the operation on the shoe upper.
  • the tool is mounted on a holder for pivotal movement about an axis which extends transversely of the shoe bottom and which passes through the operating surface of the tool, i.e. the portion of the tool surface in engagement with the shoe bottom.
  • the tool mounted for pivotal movement about an axis extending transversely of the bottom of a shoe being operated upon, which axis intersects the axis of rotation of the tool, but also the tool is mounted for pivotal movement about an axis which extends in a direction lengthwise of the shoe bottom and also passes through the point of intersection of the axis of rotation of the tool and said transverse axis.
  • such pivotal movement for angularly disposing the adhesive-applying tool in relation to the shoe upper is also provided, and moreover such information relating to the angular disposition of the tool is not modified by the processor means in accordance with information supplied by the optical scanning device.
  • the pivotal movement of the tool about the intersecting axes i.e. the "tilt movement” and also the "camber movement" is retained regardless of any modification of the three coordinate axis values.
  • the optical scanning device may remain a relatively simple device which effectively detects only the X- and Y-axis dimensions and also the Z-axis dimension.
  • the optical scanning device may comprise a line-following device which is carried by the tool supporting means of the adhesive-applying station and is progressively moved along said outer boundary by, and controls the operation of, the means for effecting relative movement between the tool supporting means and the shoe support of the adhesive-applying station, the line-following device and a tool supported by the tool supporting means being mounted in such a relationship with one another that the path followed by the tool enables adhesive to be applied to the previously roughed region as aforesaid.
  • the optical scanning device may comprise a digital camera, e.g. a line scan camera, or may be a video camera; in either event the camera is of a conventional type, but in selecting such a camera it will be appreciated that a facility for identifying differences in texture of the surface of an article being scanned thereby will be required in order that the boundary of the roughed region with the unroughed area of the shoe upper can readily be detected.
  • a digital camera e.g. a line scan camera
  • video camera in either event the camera is of a conventional type, but in selecting such a camera it will be appreciated that a facility for identifying differences in texture of the surface of an article being scanned thereby will be required in order that the boundary of the roughed region with the unroughed area of the shoe upper can readily be detected.
  • the processor means of the apparatus in accordance with the invention is wholly conventional, comprising a frame store, an image analysis facility and a texture identification facility. Especially where a line following device is used care must be taken to select processor means which can achieve the desired resolution in the relatively short time which is available. Similarly, in the case of a video camera or a digital camera, whereas the speed requirement is not of the same order as with the line-following device, nevertheless in order to ensure a relatively high productivity from the apparatus in accordance with the invention, a quick response in the identification of the boundary of the roughed area and the consequent provision of a data set, whether by modification of an existing data set or otherwise, is required of the selected processor means.
  • the roughed region is inspected using the optical scanning device prior to the initiation of an adhesive-applying operation, in order to determine whether the roughing operation has been performed adequately or not.
  • the processor means signals such deficiency and the adhesive-applying operation on the particular shoe is then prevented.
  • the adhesive-applying operation can then be proceeded with.
  • the roughing and adhesive-applying stations are provided by separate apparatuses, e.g.
  • either an automatic shoe transfer device may be provided from the shoe support of the roughing apparatus to that of the adhesive-applying apparatus, in which case again any inspection must be carried out using the optical scanning device which may, for this purpose, be located at a station intermediate the roughing and adhesive-applying stations.
  • the shoes which have been roughed may be transferred manually to the adhesive-applying station, in which case the operator himself may inspect the quality of rough and take any remedial action which may be required prior to loading the shoe in the adhesive-applying apparatus.
  • the programmed instruction for the adhesive-applying operation is determined, whether by modification of an existing programmed instruction or otherwise, according to the actual boundary of the roughed region.
  • the adhesive-applying operation can be implemented and adhesive be applied accurately to the roughed region up to the boundary thereof both reliably and consistently, without the requirement for the operator accurately to determine the path of the adhesive-applying tool. In this way, therefore, a significant productivity gain may be expected since effectively once the path-determining operation has been effected at the roughing station with the necessary accuracy of control, that accuracy can be automatically transferred to the adhesive-applying operation without further requirements on the operator's time.
  • the apparatus in accordance with the invention is an apparatus for roughing and thereafter applying adhesive to selected portions of a shoe bottom and comprises two work stations one, a roughing station, of which comprises an apparatus of the type described in EP-A 0 043 645, and the second, an adhesive-applying station, of which comprises an apparatus as described in EP-A 0 351 993.
  • a plurality of n.c. motors is provided for effecting relative movement between a shoe support and tool supporting means of the apparatus in directions extending lengthwise, widthwise and heightwise of a shoe supported by the shoe support thus to cause a tool supported by the tool supporting means to operate progressively along marginal shoes of the bottom of such shoe.
  • processor means for controlling the n.c. motors, furthermore, processor means is provided which is effective in accordance with a programmed instruction, comprising a data set including digitised coordinate axis values, using three coordinate axes, for a plurality of successive selected points along the marginal portions of the shoe bottom. Further details of the construction of these two apparatuses can be found by reference to the aforementioned specifications.
  • either the shoes can be transferred by an operator or, and preferably, an automatic transfer device (not shown) may be provided.
  • the apparatus in accordance with the invention further comprises, in the particular case at the roughing station, a CCD linescan camera C between which and the shoe support (not shown, but designated 18 in the aforementioned specifications) at said station relative movement is arranged to take place in a direction along the longitudinal centre plane of the operating locality at said station, in the apparatus now being described the camera C is moved progressively along an axis parallel with the heel-to-toe axis HT of the shoe bottom, scanning the already roughed shoe bottom during such movement.
  • a video camera could be used instead of a linescan camera, thereby eliminating the need for relative movement between the camera and the shoe support.
  • the video camera would be costly, quite apart from any considerations of size of the camera and difficulties of mounting it appropriately adjacent or at the operating locality.
  • the camera C is located at the roughing station, it could equally be mounted at the adhesive-applying station or indeed at an intermediate station between the roughing and adhesive-applying stations. The main consideration in this regard relates to the need to maintain a relatively high productivity using this apparatus.
  • the levels of intensity of light received by the pixels are graded into a relatively small number. It will of course be appreciated that, according to the degree of roughing of the shoe bottom surface, the intensity of light falling on the pixels will vary. By thus distinguishing between grades of intensity, therefore, an indication of degree of rough is thereby established.
  • image processing step II from the stored digitised values the boundaries of the roughed region of the shoe bottom, and also the extent of the roughing, are determined. More particularly with reference to Figure 3, the image processing takes place by sampling a succession of small windows within the roughed region (step IIa).
  • a preferred method of determining the texture parameters within each window (step IIb) is by the use of Haralick measures, a system which determines not only the degree of rough within the window, but also, by considering the relative intensity of neighbouring pixels, reduces textural features effectively to a mathematical value indicative of the degree of rough in any given area.
  • step IId When all the windows within the roughed area have been thus sampled and processed (step IId), the results are compared with a mathematical model which is stored in the computer memory (step III, Fig. 2).
  • step III Fig. 2
  • the degree of rough is compared and in the event that the actual degree of roughing is not comparable with the desired degree within predetermined tolerances, the shoe will be rejected and will not be transferred to the adhesive-applying station, the operator being alerted to the rejection of the shoe. Under such circumstances the operator can then manually "touch up" the deficient roughing or, if the roughing is significantly unsatisfactory, he can load the shoe once again at the roughing station for a further roughing operation to be performed thereon.
  • the machine may automatically initiate a further roughing operation on the shoe bottom.
  • the comparison of the actual area of rough with the desired area of rough will indicate deviations, especially at the boundaries of the roughed area, between the two and these deviations, which are in the form of mathematical calculations, can then readily be applied as deviation factors to the data set for controlling the operation at the adhesive-applying station so that the path of the adhesive-applying tool be varied according to the deviations from the desired roughed area, as determined in the image processing steps and subsequent steps (step IV).
