Description

  The present invention relates to a shoe manufacturing system for manufacturing semi-custom-made shoes at a store.

  Conventional shoes are either ready-made shoes made according to a predetermined specification (off-the-shelf), or after measuring the foot size (length, width, thickness, etc.) of the customer, It was a fully made-to-order shoe (custom product) manufactured over time at a factory located elsewhere. The current mainstream is ready-made shoes, and general dealers prepare a wide variety of ready-made shoes to meet the needs of each customer. Full-made shoes are excellent in that they can provide shoes suitable for each customer (for example, Patent Document 1).

  The fully custom-made shoe disclosed in Patent Document 1 measures the three-dimensional shape of a customer's foot using a three-dimensional shape measuring device, and manufactures the customer's foot shape based on the measurement data (Patent Document 1 and [ Claim 1]). The full-order-made shoe disclosed in Patent Document 1 is made to be more suitable for the customer's foot by being able to accurately manufacture an accurate shoe mold, which has been difficult in the past, using three-dimensional measurement data. The shoe mold is manufactured by a manufacturing company different from the dealer (Patent Document 1 [Claim 5]).

JP 2003-052416 A

  Fully made-to-order shoes are considered to be the most desirable product form because they are the only shoes in the world for each left and right foot of the customer. Shoes that cannot be manufactured will be manufactured by another manufacturing company. For this reason, there are problems that it takes time, the manufacturing cost is high, the manufacturing operation is not visible to the customer, and it is not possible to know what kind of shoes are made until the product is made. In this respect, a shop for ready-made shoes that customers can directly select visually is excellent.

  It is only necessary for the customer to be satisfied that it is the only shoe in the world. At present, by devising the insole, it is possible to manufacture shoes that fit each customer's foot, and if the appearance can be arranged, the customer can be fully satisfied. From now on, if you can prepare multiple types of upper and outsole with different sizes and arrange the appearance appropriately, if you can manufacture the insole according to the customer, we can manufacture the only shoe in the world (semi-custom made shoes) It is done.

  In addition, as described above, full-order-made shoes are not visible to the customer because the shoe mold needs to be manufactured at the manufacturing factory. However, semi-custom-made shoes can be manufactured at retail stores. Therefore, the manufacturing work can be shown to the customer. However, according to the conventional shoe manufacturing procedure, there is a problem that it takes too much manufacturing time. Therefore, for the purpose of manufacturing semi-custom-made shoes that can satisfy the customer's satisfaction and sufficient fit at the store, the configuration of a shoe manufacturing system that shortens the manufacturing time while showing the manufacturing work to the customer Was examined.

  What was developed as a result of the study was a shoe manufacturing system that produces semi-custom-made shoes that fit the left and right legs of the customer at the shoe dealer. The sales section is divided into a workshop section where only the store clerk can enter and exit, and the sales section displays a large number of upper modules and outsoles that join the upper and the insole to the left and right legs of the customer. Let the customer or store clerk select a suitable upper module and outsole, and the workshop section will arrange the drying device and finishing device, and the solvent of the adhesive applied to the inner bottom and outsole of the upper module will be After forced evaporation, the middle bottom of the upper module and the outsole are bonded to form a semi-finished product, and the surplus of the semi-finished outsole is finished More excised and polished, the a shoe manufacturing system and finished product by inserting the insole semi-finished products.

  The shoe manufacturing system according to the present invention provides a semi-finished product by bonding an upper module and an outsole selected by a customer or a store clerk, and inserts an insole into the semi-finished product to make a finished product. Realize the production of semi-custom-made shoes in the workshop section set as the above. The transparent partition wall that divides the sales section and the workshop section makes the manufacturing process in the workshop section visible from the sales section. A partition wall is comprised with the glass plate or the transparent acrylic board, and may be colored if it has permeate | transmitted. The drying device in the workshop section volatilizes the solvent of the adhesive in a short time, and shortens the time required for bonding the upper module and the outsole.

  The sales section displays a number of upper modules and outsole and allows a customer or store clerk to select. The customer selects the upper module and the outsole based on his / her preference and the purpose of the shoe he / she wants to purchase. The store clerk advises the customer based on the size (length) and width of the left and right legs of the customer, and selects the upper module and the outsole. The workshop section is a space isolated from the sales section so that the solvent of the adhesive to be volatilized and the surplus of the outsole to be cut will not affect the customer. In addition to the drying and finishing devices essential to the present invention, Various sewing machines used for manufacturing and various lasts to be inserted into the upper module may be arranged.

  The drying device includes a heater and a hot air blower in a semi-enclosed space provided with an inlet module and an outsole of an upper module with an adhesive applied to the inner bottom, and ventilation outside the store from the semi-enclosed space. The structure which connected the exhaust duct to the apparatus can be illustrated. The upper module and the outsole may be provided on the floor surface as long as no adhesive is applied to the wall surface or floor surface in the semi-enclosed space. However, the upper module, for example, may be attached with a last support jig and turned upside down, the last support jig is grounded on the floor surface and turned upside down, and the insole coated with adhesive is directed upward. .

  Examples of the finishing device include a grinder that removes excess of the outsole, and a polisher that polishes the edge of the outsole after the excess is removed by the grinder. The finishing device is also used for finishing work that removes surplus of an insole formed by an insole molding device described later or polishes an edge. In this case, the finishing device (grinder or polisher) for the insole may be installed separately from the grinder or polisher for the outsole, or may be used as a grinder or polisher for the outsole.

  In order to obtain information about the foot useful for the customer or store clerk to select the upper module or outsole, the sales section has a three-dimensional shape measuring device that measures the outer shape of each of the left and right feet of the customer, One or more of a foot pressure distribution measuring device that measures the pressure distribution, a foot image acquiring device that acquires the foot type of the foot, and an acceleration distribution measuring device that measures the acceleration distribution applied when the customer walks may be arranged. Since the three-dimensional shape measurement device, the foot pressure distribution measurement device, the sole image acquisition device, or the acceleration distribution measurement device is not an object for processing a semi-finished product of shoes, it is arranged in a sales section where customers can enter and exit. It is preferable that all of the three-dimensional shape measuring device, the tread pressure distribution measuring device, the sole image acquisition device or the acceleration distribution measuring device are provided, but one or more are installed according to the size of the sales section and the arrangement of the display shelves. I can do it.

  The three-dimensional shape measuring apparatus acquires the size of the foot (length) and width, as well as the bulge of the instep and the outer shape of the arch. The tread pressure distribution measuring device acquires a distribution state of a load applied to the sole of a customer when the customer is standing upright, and is mainly used for molding an insole. The sole image acquisition device acquires the contour shape of the foot viewed from the sole, the arch, and the like as an image or a photograph, and is mainly used for selecting an insole or an outsole and forming an insole. Then, the acceleration distribution measuring device acquires the longitudinal, lateral and vertical acceleration distributions applied to the walking customer, and finely adjusts the insole (thickness, solidity) as the load applied to the left and right feet. Adjustment of elasticity or elasticity).

  In this way, when information about the foot can be obtained, by installing a suspension device in the workshop section, the upper and the insole are displayed separately in place of the upper module, and the upper selected by the customer or the store clerk is After being hung with a hoisting device and molded, the upper module can be manufactured by integrating the insole. In this case, if a variety of lasts are prepared, the last is selected based on the acquired information on the foot (particularly, the outer shape of the foot by the three-dimensional shape measuring device), thereby providing a shoe manufacturing system according to the present invention. As a part, the upper can be hung in the store according to the left and right legs of the customer.

  The insole may be inserted into a semi-finished shoe after allowing the customer or store clerk to select a free-size ready-made product and adjusting the size according to the customer's foot. However, for example, in the sales section, if an insole molding device that manufactures an insole with irregularities following the left and right soles of the customer is arranged, not only the size and width of the selected upper module and outsole, but also the sole The imprinted insole can be adapted to the left and right legs of the customer. The insole molding apparatus is, for example, deformable by heating and is made into an insole by molding a sheet of a thermoplastic resin that solidifies when cooled to room temperature into a shape that follows the soles of the customer. If information on the customer's foot is obtained, based on the information, by adjusting the outer shape by appropriately attaching a cork or cushioning material to the thermoplastic resin sheet molded into a shape following the sole, Insole.

  The workshop section has a drying device with a transparent vertical wall sandwiching a drying conveyor built in a semi-enclosed space with a carry-in entrance and a carry-out exit, and the vertical wall is attached to a partition wall that is a boundary with the sales compartment. It is desirable to arrange a transfer conveyor that conveys the upper module and the outsole to which the adhesive is applied to the drying conveyor, and is arranged upstream of the drying conveyor of the drying apparatus along the partition wall. The vertical wall sandwiching the drying conveyor is made of a glass plate or a transparent acrylic plate, and may be colored as long as it is transparent. A belt conveyor, a roller conveyor, etc. are used for the drying conveyor and the transfer conveyor. In addition, a workbench that applies adhesive to the inner bottom and outsole of the upper module is located upstream of the transfer conveyor, and a crimping device that presses and bonds the upper module and outsole downstream of the drying conveyor. Good.

  Adhesive-applied upper module (upper module has adhesive applied to the bottom) and outsole are automatically loaded into a semi-enclosed space when placed on the transfer conveyor upstream of the dryer. it can. The adhesive applied to the upper module and outsole is evaporated in a short time and reliably by evaporating the solvent by natural evaporation on the transfer conveyor and by forced evaporation on the drying conveyor in the semi-enclosed space. it can. By installing the drying device along a transparent partition wall and making the vertical wall sandwiching the drying conveyor transparent, the upper module and outsole placed on the transfer conveyor and drying conveyor You can see everything from.

  In addition, the workshop section can be decorated with shoes (such as embroidery, belts, decorative leather or metal fittings) for the upper module if various sewing machines and scissors are placed in a position that can be seen through the partition wall that is the boundary with the sales section. Can be viewed from the sales section. Examples of the various sewing machines include an eight-way sewing machine, a sandal sewing machine, and an embroidery sewing machine. Further, by collecting various devices related to shoe manufacturing work, various sewing machines and sewing machines in the workshop section, it is possible to increase the work efficiency of shop assistants and shorten the manufacturing time. In this case, by arranging various devices, various sewing machines, and scissors along the wall surface and partition wall of the workshop section in a ring shape, it is possible to shorten the travel distance of the store clerk and further improve the work efficiency.

  The present invention provides a shoe manufacturing system capable of manufacturing semi-custom-made shoes that can satisfy a customer's satisfaction and a satisfactory fit at a store. Semi-custom-made shoes can provide shoes with different left and right sizes, and have the advantage of reducing the inventory risk of having finished shoes. The shoe manufacturing system of the present invention particularly shortens the drying time so that the advantage of such semi-custom-made shoes can be enjoyed at the store. Moreover, the shoe manufacturing system of this invention can see the said drying process and finishing process from a sales division, isolating a drying process and a finishing process to a workshop section. Thus, the shoe manufacturing system of the present invention not only realizes the production of semi-custom-made shoes that can satisfy the customer's satisfaction and sufficient fit, but also shows the customer the manufacturing process without getting tired. Is used as an advertising performance.

  The three-dimensional shape measurement device, stepping pressure distribution measurement device, sole image acquisition device, and acceleration distribution measurement device that acquire information related to the foot are information related to the foot that the customer or store clerk uses as a reference when selecting the upper module or outsole. In addition to providing information on each customer's foot, it is possible to create a database as an electronic medical record of the customer's feet. Further, by measuring not only the outer shape but also the foot pressure, the sole image, and the acceleration, it is possible to objectively grasp the state of the foot that the customer cannot recognize. Thus, the shoe manufacturing system of the present invention has an effect that shoes more suitable for each customer can be manufactured.

  The shoe manufacturing system according to the present invention realizes the manufacture of shoes in a short time at a store by forming a semi-custom-made shoe only by an upper, an insole and an outsole. However, due to the small number of components, the fit of the customer's foot is likely to be lower than naturally a full-order shoe. The insole manufacturing apparatus only improves the comfort of the shoe by forming an insole having irregularities following the left and right soles of the customer and inserting the insole into the semi-customized shoe of the present invention. In addition, the burden on the hallux valgus, O-legs, X-legs, etc. can be reduced, and it is possible to provide shoes that are more suitable for customers' feet. If there is information about the customer's foot, the insole can be adjusted more finely, so that the comfort is further improved.

  By making the vertical wall of the drying device transparent and arranging the vertical wall along the partition wall, or arranging the transfer conveyor along the partition wall, the manufacturing operation can be easily shown to the customer. In addition, it is necessary to make the partition wall, which is the boundary between the sales section and the workshop section, transparent, and the wall of the drying device transparent, which is necessary for the advertising effect that makes the manufacturing work visible as a performance. The sewing machine is arranged along the wall surface of the partition wall or the workshop section, so that the shop clerk can manufacture shoes only by moving along the partition wall or the wall surface, thereby bringing about an effect of improving work efficiency.

It is a shelf for storing the last 54 of the display in a display state. The last 54 in the shoe manufacturing system of this example is used only in the drying process. For example, when the upper 511 and the insole 512 are separately selected, the last 54 is used to suspend the upper 511. Since the last 54 is the most characteristic jig in the shoe manufacturing operation, store it side by side on the last storage shelf 40 along the outer peripheral wall surface 11 so that it can be clearly seen from the sales section 2 through the transparent partition wall 12. Yes.

  The shoe manufacturing system of the present invention manufactures a semi-custom-made shoe 5 by bonding an upper module 51 and an outsole 52 selected by a customer or a store clerk and inserting an insole 53 into the upper module 51. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the components constituting the shoe 5 are only the insole 53, the upper module 51, and the outsole 52 from the top. The selection of the upper module 51 and the outsole 52 has the meaning of determining the appearance design as well as the function of matching the size and shape of the customer's foot. As will be described later, the insole 53 has a function of fitting the shoe 5 to the foot by forming it according to each of the left and right feet of the customer.

  A shoe manufacturing operation will be described. First, in the sales section 2, the customer or the store clerk selects the upper module 51 and the outsole 52. At this time, the customer may select the upper module 51 and the outsole 52 from the viewpoint of design according to his / her preference. On the other hand, the store clerk selects the upper module 51 and the outsole 52 so that the wearability is improved based on the size and width of the left and right feet of the customer and the feeling of the instep. Here, if information about the foot is obtained by the three-dimensional shape measuring device 22, the stepping pressure distribution measuring device 23, the sole image acquisition device 24, and the acceleration distribution measuring device 25, the store clerk can use the upper module based on the information. 51 and outsole 52 are selected.

  The selected upper module 51 and the outsole 52 are brought into the workshop section 3 by a store clerk and are a work table 37a facing the front side of the transparent partition plate 12, and the upper bottom of the upper module 51 and the outsole 52 are An adhesive is applied to each of the opposing surfaces by a store clerk. The upper module 51 is placed on the transfer conveyor 316 with the last 54 mounted thereon being supported by the last support jig 55 in an inverted posture, with the insole 512 coated with adhesive facing upward. The outsole 52 is also placed on the transfer conveyor 316 with the adhesive-coated surface facing up (see FIGS. 1 to 3).

  The upper module 51 and the outsole 52 placed on the transfer conveyor 316 naturally evaporate the solvent of the adhesive while going to the drying device 31. The amount of solvent due to natural evaporation is increased or decreased according to the movement time of the transfer conveyor 316. Then, the upper module 51 and the outsole 52 are transferred from the transfer conveyor 316 to the drying conveyor 315 and moved to the semi-sealed space 311 of the drying device 31 to forcibly evaporate the solvent of the adhesive. The amount of the solvent by forced evaporation is determined by the heater temperature, hot air temperature, and hot air amount in the semi-enclosed space 311, and is increased or decreased according to the moving time of the drying conveyor 316. Thus, the upper module 51 and the outsole 52 in which the solvent of the adhesive is naturally evaporated and forcibly evaporated come out from the carry-out port 313 of the semi-enclosed space 311 by the drying conveyor 315. The approximate drying time by the drying device 31 of the shoe manufacturing system of this example is around 10 minutes.

  When the upper module 51 and the outsole 52 coming out from the carry-out port 313 are detected by the proximity sensor, the drying conveyor 315 stops, and the upper module 51 and the outsole 52 are made to stand by in the vicinity of the carry-out port 313. The store clerk sticks the upper module 51 and the outsole 52 just coming out of the carry-out port 313 in this way, and takes them to the nearest crimping device 38a arranged along the transparent partition wall 12. Then, by crimping the upper module 51 and the outsole 52 with the crimping device 38a, the semi-finished product shown in FIG. 5 is completed.

  After the semi-finished product is completed, or using the drying time, the insole 53 in which the left and right feet of the customer are molded is formed. In the shoe manufacturing system of this example, an insole molding apparatus 26 arranged in the sales section 2 is used. Specifically, the foot mold is sampled by the insole molding device 26, and deformed according to each of the left and right legs of the customer by sandwiching a thermoplastic resin sheet that is heated in a deformable manner by the foot mold and the customer's legs. The obtained sheet is obtained. Then, the store clerk appropriately attaches cork or cushioning material to the sheet, and further adjusts the outer shape of the sheet with the grinder 32 and the polisher 33, whereby the insole 53 is completed. The insole 53 molded by the shoe manufacturing system of this example is deformed following the foot shape of each of the customer's left and right feet, and corks and cushioning materials are attached at the discretion of the store clerk to improve the tactile sensation. The comfort of the maid shoes 5 is greatly improved.

  When the insole 53 thus completed is inserted into the semi-finished upper module 51, as shown in FIG. 6, a semi-custom-made shoe 5 is completed. As described above, the molding of the insole using the sheet of the thermoplastic resin requires only a few minutes until the effect of the sheet, and the cork and the cushioning material are attached, and the grinding and polishing by the grinder 32 and the polisher 33 are not so much applied. Above all, since the drying process for evaporating the solvent of the adhesive is as short as about 10 minutes, the shoe manufacturing system of this example can keep the shoe manufacturing time in about 30 minutes. The short manufacturing time is due to the fact that a simple semi-order made to select the upper module 51 and the outsole 52 is adopted, and the drying time can be greatly shortened by using the drying device 31.

  As described above, the shoe manufacturing system of the present invention is a method of simply bonding the insole formed after selecting the upper module 51 and the outsole 52 and inserting the separately formed insole into the upper module 51. Semi-custom-made shoes 5 that have been requested by each customer can be provided by general retailers that have been selling ready-made shoes. In addition, the production work can be shown to customers as a performance, and advertising can be expected. Thus, the present invention provides a means for attracting customers (semi-custom-made shoes, manufacturing operations having an advertising effect) suitable for general retailers.
