Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine for producing accessories for the shoo industry.
  • US-4 411 626 (Becker et al.) , which serves as a basis for claim 1 discloses a machine for producing items.
  • the machine comprises a clamping device for gripping an item and supporting device for selectively translating the item and a rotary tool along three coordinates axes X, Y, Z perpendicular to one another, and selectively rotating the item about a first vertical axis and the rotary tool about a second vertical axis.
  • the machine described in US-4 411 626 (Becker et al.) is aimed for dealing with plaster model and it in not suitable for manufacture prototypes for the shoe industry with fully finished toes and heels.
  • DE 19630426 (Schaaf et al.) describes an automatic machine for producing shoe last. The last is gripped by a gripping device at an upper surface. However, the machine described in DE 19630426 (Schaaf et al.) does not provide prototypes with an acceptable surface finish.
  • the following description refers to the making of prototypes from which to produce models at model shops, from which in turn to produce shoes at the actual shoe factory.
  • the machine according to the present invention is designed to meet the requirements of model shops and shoe factories as regards the construction of prototype models of shoes for eventual mass production.
  • the prototype stage represents a weak link in the chain between the designer - who, as is known, conceives the original shoe design - and actual mass production of the shoe at the factory.
  • the current practice commences with preliminary drawings - possibly made by the designer with the aid of a CAD station - which are followed by a prototype made by hand by a modelmaker from a blank, normally of wood.
  • any and invariably continual alterations made by the designer to the initial prototype of the design must be made by hand by the modelmaker, thus resulting in considerable loss of time.
  • the electronic file containing the selected shoe design may be used by the modelmaker to clone the models from which to produce the shoe at the factory.
  • the electronic file may also be transmitted electronically to the model shop (via modem, Internet, etc.).
  • the machine according to the present invention also provides for producing prototypes with fully finished toes and heels, thus eliminating subsequent finish processing to remove any undesired extra thickness which would remain if the blank were to be gripped by a gripping device acting on these two portions of the blank.
  • the machine according to the present invention in fact, employs a gripping system involving only the upper reference surface of the blank.
  • the blank gripping system provides for obtaining a prototype in one single machining cycle with no intervention on the part of the operator, who simply enters input data electronically from a keyboard.
  • the present invention consists in a novel combination of the relative movements of the blank and a toroidal rotary tool.
  • a further novel characteristic lies in the particular way in which the blank is gripped.
  • the machine according to the present invention provides for obtaining prototypes with an acceptable surface finish. This is extremely important in view of the fact that it is this surface which eventually supports the leather from which the specimen shoe is made. Processing of the leather is therefore obviously improved by a higher degree of surface finish of the prototype model.
  • the machine is also equipped with a measuring tracer, which is used to:
  • the latter possibility is particularly interesting by enabling the modelmaker, once the work on the machine according to the present invention is completed, to make any finishing touches by hand to the prototype; the prototype may then be set up again on the machine to determine the final form using the measuring tracer; and the final form may be converted into an electronic file for transmission, for example, via Internet to the model shop for use in producing the models.
  • the machine according to the present invention is controlled by an electronic computer, which, besides controlling the movements of the blank and rotary tool along the work axes, also has a powerful integrated CAM.
  • the electronic computer The electronic computer:
  • the blank gripping system the particular arrangement of the rotary tool, and the number of work axes along which the rotary tool and the blank travel make for a machine differing totally from the profiling machines traditionally used for making shoemaker's models.
  • the machine according to the present invention is a combined lathe-milling machine by simultaneously providing means for moving the blank to and from a rotary tool - typical of a turning operation - and moving the rotary tool to and from the blank - typical of a milling operation.
  • the machine 1 comprises a substantially parallelepipedal casing 2 housing most of the devices described in detail below.
  • number 3 indicates an actuating device for moving a blank 4, e.g. a pressed blank
  • 5 indicates a tool table for moving a tool 6 along an axis X.
  • actuating device 3 - which comprises a motor 7, two horizontal guides 8a, 8b, and a recirculating-ball screw 9 - a carriage 10 is moved along an axis Y defining a direction perpendicular to that of the X axis, but not lying in the same plane as X axis.
  • Carriage 10 is obviously moved along axis Y in conventional manner by recirculating-ball screw 9 being rotated by motor 7 and engaging a nut screw (not shown) inside carriage 10.
  • Actuating device 3 also comprises a motor reducer 12 which, by means of a conventional transmission system (not shown), provides for translating along an axis Z a carriage 13 fitted with rotary gripping means 11 for gripping blank 4.
  • a motor reducer 12 which, by means of a conventional transmission system (not shown), provides for translating along an axis Z a carriage 13 fitted with rotary gripping means 11 for gripping blank 4.
  • Rotary gripping means 11 will be described in detail later on, with reference in particular to Figure 3.
  • the Z axis defines a direction perpendicular to those of the X and Y axes, but does not lie in the same plane as either of X and Y axes.
  • Rotary gripping means 11 may also be acted on in conventional manner by a motor reducer 14 ( Figure 1) carried by carriage 13 and by which gripping means 11, and hence blank 4, are rotated about a vertical axis of rotation C 1 normally differing from the vertical Z axis.
  • Figure 1 a motor reducer 14 carried by carriage 13 and by which gripping means 11, and hence blank 4, are rotated about a vertical axis of rotation C 1 normally differing from the vertical Z axis.
  • rotary gripping means 11 for gripping blank 4 may be translated by motor 7 along the Y axis and by motor 12 along the Z axis, and may be rotated about axis C 1 by motor reducer 14.
  • Tool table 5 may be translated, as stated, along the X axis by means of a motor 15, which rotates a worm 16 engaging a lead nut 17 integral with tool table 5, which obviously slides along two horizontal guides (not shown); and rotary tool 6 is rotated, as explained in detail later on with particular reference to Figure 4, about a vertical axis C 2 by a motor 18 fitted to tool table 5.
  • a motor 15 which rotates a worm 16 engaging a lead nut 17 integral with tool table 5, which obviously slides along two horizontal guides (not shown); and rotary tool 6 is rotated, as explained in detail later on with particular reference to Figure 4, about a vertical axis C 2 by a motor 18 fitted to tool table 5.
  • Blank 4 is therefore cut to produce the finished prototype by the combined relative movements of blank 4 itself and rotary tool 6.
  • blank 4 may be moved along the Y and Z axes and rotated about axis C 1
  • rotary tool 6 may translate along the X axis and rotate about axis C 2 .
  • rotary tool 6 may obviously, at least in theory, be assigned certain movements which, in the Figure 1 and 2 embodiment, are assigned to blank 4.
  • All the operations, the movements along the X, Y, Z axes, rotation about axes C1, C2, the number of passes, etc. are controlled by a dedicated CAM derived from a CAD file and housed in an electronic central control unit 19 operator-controlled by a keyboard 20 and video 21.
  • Figure 3 shows the rotary gripping means 11 for gripping blank 4, and which constitute an innovation in the field of prototype construction.
  • each connecting member 23 is insertable bayonet-fashion inside a respective seat 11b in which respective pneumatic lock means 11c operate to make blank 4 integral with a support 11d of rotary gripping means 11.
  • rotary gripping means 11 maintain upper reference surface 4a tilted at an angle ⁇ of 30° with respect to axis C 1 .
  • rotary tool 6 integral with tool table 5 is rotated by motor 18 about axis C 2 by means of a belt 24 inserted inside a groove 25 on a toroidal rotary support 26, which in turn comprises a shaft 26a supported on a pair of bearings 27, and a toroidal member 26b supporting at least three substantially truncated-cone-shaped cutters 28 (Figure 4b), the cutting edges 28a of which project slightly with respect to toroidal member 26b.
  • Bearings 27 supporting shaft 26a are in turn supported by a fork 29 integral with tool table 5, which, as stated, is movable along the X axis and obviously also supports motor 18 ( Figure 1) for rotating rotary tool 6 by means of belt 24 and groove 25.
  • each cutter 28 is fitted to toroidal member 26b by a bolt 30 and a corresponding nut 31, which grip two intermediate members 32a, 32b resting respectively on shoulders 28b, 26c of cutter 28 and toroidal member 26b respectively.
  • Nut 31 is therefore simply screwed onto respective bolt 30 to reversibly lock cutter 28 to toroidal member 26b.
  • machine 1 also comprises a measuring tracer 33, which also provides for digitizing the finished prototype, i.e. touched up by the modelmaker, and which in turn comprises in known manner tracing means activated by an appropriate known mechanical system.
  • Measuring tracer 33 has some very interesting applications. In fact, once the machining work on machine 1 is completed, the semifinished prototype may be removed from machine 1 and touched up by hand, and the finished prototype set up again on machine 1, again retained as before by rotary gripping means 11.
  • measuring tracer 33 may be used to determine the final shape of the prototype and, with the aid of electronic central control unit 19, convert the final shape into a file, which may be transmitted, e.g. by means of an electronic data transmission network, to the model shop for use in producing the models.
