Definitions
- the present invention refers to an assembly line particularly suited for the production of leather and similar goods.
- the present invention refers to an assembly line, particularly suited for the production of leather, imitation-leather, hide, fabric, felt, plastics and similar goods, such as footwear, slippers, etc. which allows all the production phases to be completed without unloading and re-loading the product.
- assembly line Many types of assembly line are known for leather, imitation-leather, fabrics, plastic and similar goods, on which moving trolleys equipped with one or more shelves are anchored by fixed, or releasable coupling devices.
- footwear components are placed on the said shelves, such as for example uppers, moulds, inner soles, soles, heels and so on, which are progressively assembled in the successive working stations, aligned along the assembly line.
- a transporter trolley travelling on rails and suitable for transporting footwear in manufacturing plant through a multiplicity of working operations is known from FR-A-1,004,423.
- the disclosed transporter trolley comprises a vertical yoke type support frame, vertically oscillating and provided with cross-pieces sustaining the support brackets for the footwear to be treated.
- Heating means or driers are arranged in sequence along the working line and the footwear are passed through them, mounted on the same transporter trolley.
- US-A-3,120,666 discloses an assembly line for the production of shoes comprising a movable conveyor line, a plurality of racks on said conveyor line at spaced intervals and heating means positioned beneath and in vertical spaced relation to said conveyor line to heat shoes positioned upon each rack as it moves past the heating means.
- the heating means comprise a tunnel-like chamber to admit the rack, so that the rack is straddled by the heating means.
- the above known assembly lines make it possible to overcome considerable problems regarding the rationalisation of the working stages and of the working environments, the productivity of the systems, the quality of the finished product and production economy, however they are not completely satisfactory, since they do not allow all the treatments foreseen by the process to be performed.
- the known assembly lines do not permit the treatments to which the footwear is subjected to be performed at the start of k the working phases and after the uppers, the toes, the sides and the heels have been mounted'on moulds and before the phases which include the application of the soles, the heels and so on.
- the treatments include humidifications, heating by hot air, seasoning with stretching under vacuum and evacuation of vapours and radiation using infra-red ray heaters, at present these treatments are performed outside the assembly line.
- the footwear is unloaded from the assembly line trolleys and placed inside special ovens, or particularly equipped rooms.
- the same footwear is removed from the ovens, or taken out of the said rooms and re-placed on the conveyor belt trolleys.
- a multiple containers device may also be used for the stretching and seasoning phases of leather goods and in particular of footwear.
- the said containers which enter and leave the ovens sequentially, transported by a continuous chain make it possible to substantially reduce the hold-up time of the assembly line trolleys in the treatments station.
- an assembly line that makes it possible to perform all the process phases to produce leather, imitation-leather, fabric, plastic and similar goods, without needing to perform any unloading and re-loading operation, comprises a plurality of transporter trolleys travelling on rails for transporting the goods in manufacturing plant through a multiplicity of working operations, and fitted with automatic coupling and release devices, and ovens for humidification, heating, seasoning, stretching under vacuum, evacuation of vapours and radiation, wherein the ovens are arranged beneath the assembly line and in sequential series with the working stations and each transporter trolley is fitted with a vertical support frame, hanging and yoke type and it is straddled by ovens, the characterising parts of which are that:
- Each support frame may be fitted with cross-pieces sustaining the footwear support brackets, or of other supporting means.
- the conveyor trolleys may be fitted with one, or more shelves, or vertical trays.
- the assembly line, subject of the present invention includes a large number of conveyor trolleys 1 and ovens 33 and 34 to perform the humidification, heating, seasoning, stretching treatments, etc. foreseen by the production process.
- Each conveyor trolley 1 has a supporting structure 2 to which the front shelves, or supporting trays 3 and 4 of a known type are fixed.
- the upper 5 and lower 6 wheels, which run along the rails 7 of the assembly line are applied on the structure 2.
- the trays 3 and 4 fixed to the structure 2 may have a single support surface 8, or may be divided into compartments 9 via separators 10.
- the upper ends 13 of the uprights 23 are pivoted to the side edges 12 of the upper tray 3 and to a yoke type support frame 14.
- pins 16 are fixed in correspondence to the side edges 15 of the lower tray 4 inserted in the transversal slits 17 made on the said ends 13.
- the frame 14 may rotate about its upper fulcrums 18 and oscillate for an amplitude permitted by the length of the slits 17.
- Figures 1 and 2 represent trolleys 1 specifically equipped for the production of footwear 21.
- Cross-pieces 19 are fixed in the central part of the frame 14 sustaining the support brackets 20 for the footwear 21.
- the ovens 33 and 34 for the humidifying, the heating by hot air, the seasoning, the stretching, the evacuation of the vapours and the radiation treatments using infra-red ray heaters consist of two sliding half-shells 26 and 27 to enable them to be moved towards and away from one another.
- the above mentioned parallelogram is made using profiles having at least the two side surfaces 28 and 29 in parallel with one another and parallel to the surfaces 31 and 32 of the doors 24 and 25.
- the half-shells 26 and 27, forming the ovens are mounted beneath the assembly line and are arranged on opposite sides of the assembly line.
- the vertical hanging frame 14 is straddled by the ovens so that its external structure, formed by the cross-pieces 22 and by the up-rights 23 are perfectly aligned with the doors 24 and 25.
- the uppers are preferably subjected to an initial humidifying, softening and possible radiation treatment using infra-red ray heaters to revive the toe piece, to facilitate the successive assembly phases on the moulds.
- the uppers and the relative moulds are positioned on the brackets 20 of the hanging frame 14, at the beginning of the working cycle, while the other components of the footwear are pre-arranged in an orderly way on the trays 3 and 4.
- a humidification oven is pre-arranged aligned with the successive working station consisting of two half-shells 26 and 27 fitted with doors 24 and 25 which when moved close together form a seal along the parallel side surfaces 28 and 29 of the frame 14.
- the half-shells 26 and 27 are moved towards one another by means of hydraulic, or pneumatic pistons of a known type (not illustrated in the figure) when the structure of the handing frame 14 is perfectly aligned with the doors 24 and 25, until the surfaces 31 and 32 of the doors come into contact with those 28 and 29 of the frame 14.
- the half-shells 26 and 27 travel on transversal guides 30 moved by the hydraulic, or pneumatic cylinders.
- the oven closes entrapping the hanging frame 14 containing the uppers 21 to be treated.
- the oven seal is ensured by means of rubber gaskets 35, or other suitable material, applied to the edges and over the surfaces 31 and 32 of the doors 24 and 25.
- the entire trolley 1 may be transferred to the successive working station.
- the trolley 1 advances and passes the successive stations where the parts of the footwear are progressively assembled until complete assembly is achieved in the station up-stream of the one where the ovens for the successive heat treatments are installed.
- the operator instead of loading the footwear into ovens outside the assembly line, or of placing them on one of the trays 3 and 4 for transfer to the successive station, pre-arranges them inside the brackets 20.
- Two trolleys 1 are arranged in correspondence to each oven. This arrangement and construction of the ovens makes it possible to half the execution times of the treatment.
- the two separate ovens 33 and 34 are pre-arranged to perform the humidification and the hot air heating and the seasoning, the stretching under vacuum and radiation using infra-red ray heater treatments respectively. These ovens are not described in detail since they form a part of the technical note.
- the carding and adhesive spreading phases are performed in the footwear production cycle in succession to the above mentioned treatments.
- the rest phase then follows, presently requiring approximately twenty minutes, during which the solvents in the adhesives are completely evacuated, before re-activating the said adhesives and carrying out the application phases of the soles, the heels and of the other possible components.
- the time required for the said rest phase represents another forced hold-up point of the assembly line process and results in forced speed limits or the engagement of a long section of the assembly line. According to the present invention, this period of time may be significantly decreased by the use of trolleys 1 with a vertical hanging frame 14 and of another opposite half- shell type oven 26 and 27, positioned downstream of the above mentioned adhesive spreading phase.
- the footwear 21 with adhesive covered bases and the corresponding soles, also spread with adhesive are placed on the brackets 20 of the support 14 and transferred inside an oven entirely similar to the one described previously.
- This oven is equipped with heating means and means of forced suction under vacuum which permit a rapid and total evacuation of the solvents present in the adhesives, significantly reducing the time necessary for this phase.
- heating of the environment to avacuate the solvents makes it possible to re-activate the adhesive, necessary to make the relative parts adhere to one another in the phase successive to the exit from the oven.
- re-activation of the adhesives is performed outside the above mentioned evacuation oven, but however in sequence on the assembly line without having to unload and re-load the parts spread with adhesive into external ovens, as is the case at present.
- the heat sources as for example halogen lamps, necessary to reactivate the adhesives spread over the bottoms, or over the soles, may be conveniently positioned inside the oven close to the surfaces of the soles and/or of the footwear bottoms thanks to the free surrounding space permitted by the structure of the frames 14.
- the hanging frame 14 has a fulcrum at the side edges 12 of the upper tray 3 and is pre-arranged to permit its guided oscillation and limited by the pins 16, bound on the side edges 15 of the lower tray 4 and inserted in the slits 17.
- the trolley 1 fitted with a vertical yoke type frame 14 may be equipped with only one, or more than two trays of the type 3 and 4 in its upper part depending on the working requirements, or may be without, as represented in Figures 5 and 6.
- Another solution may include only the cross-pieces 19 or however other support means which however are contained within the profile of the frame 14.
- Another possible embodiment, particularly suitable for the treatment .of many pieces, may foresee the frame support 14 with more than one drawing trolley; the fundamental concept remaining that the profile of the hanging frame must always form the ledge for the closing doors of the half-shells 26 and 27 making up the said ovens.
- the hanging yoke type frame 14 though being preferably made up of a peripheric profile having a parallelogram shape to exploit the space enclosed by it in the best and most rational way, may be realised in accordance with any other shape, for example, circular, elliptic, trapezoidal, and so on. In any case, it is essential that its side surfaces 28 and 29 are substantially parallel and have a peripheric profile equal to that of the doors 24 and 25 of the half-shells 26 and 27 of each oven.
