Method for Automatically Gumming Shoe

Abstract

Disclosed is an method for automatically gumming a shoe for gumming a gumming target which is an upper surface of a shoe sole or a bottom surface of a shoe body on an automatically circulating path, comprises: guiding the gumming target into the automatically circulating path; by a shape retrieving device, retrieving a shape of the target on the automatically circulating path to obtain a retrieving result; by an applying device, applying a treating agent on the gumming target according to the retrieving result; grabbing the gumming target out of the automatically circulating path and then heating the gumming target; applying a gum on the gumming target according to the retrieving result; grabbing the target out of the automatically circulating path and then heating the gumming target again, thereby the quality and speed of gumming shoe can be enhanced.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for automatically gumming a shoe, for gumming a gumming target that is either an upper surface of a shoe sole or a bottom surface of a shoe body in an automatically circulating path, the method comprising:
 (a) a step of directing the gumming target into the automatically circulating path;   (b) a step of retrieving a shape of the gumming target, under a use of a shape retrieving device, in the automatically circulating path to obtain a retrieving result;   (c) a step of applying a treating agent on the gumming target, under a use of a applying device, according to the retrieving result;   (d) a first heating step for performing a heating process with respect to the gumming target that is grabbed from the automatically circulating path after the gumming target is applied with the treating agent;   (e) a step of applying, in accordance with the retrieving result, a gum on the gumming target that is processed in the first heating step; and   (f) a second heating step for performing a heating process with respect to the gumming target that is grabbed from the automatically circulating path after the gumming target is applied with the gum.   
     
     
         2 . The method for automatically gumming a shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein in the shape retrieving step, the shape retrieving device retrieves the shape of the target by use of optical scanning. 
     
     
         3 . The method for automatically gumming a shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein in the shape retrieving step, the retrieving result is stored. 
     
     
         4 . The method for automatically gumming a shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , after the shape retrieving step, further comprising a step of amending the retrieving result. 
     
     
         5 . The method for automatically gumming a shoe as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the step of amending the retrieving result includes an internally retracting amending operation and an outwardly extending amending operation. 
     
     
         6 . The method for automatically gumming a shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the gum applying step includes a gum dispensing operation, a gum brushing operation, and a gum spraying operation. 
     
     
         7 . The method for automatically gumming a shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein in the gum applying step, it includes the configuration of predetermining a predetermined applying amount and/or a predetermine applying time duration of the gum. 
     
     
         8 . The method for automatically gumming a shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein in the treating agent applying step, it includes the configuration of predetermining a predetermined applying amount and/or a predetermined applying time duration of the treating agent. 
     
     
         9 . The method for automatically gumming a shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the gum applying step includes a first gum applying step and a second gum applying step, the first gum applying step applies a gum to a central portion of the target, and the second gum applying step applies a gum to an edge portion of the target. 
     
     
         10 . The method for automatically gumming a shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein in the first heating step and/or in the second heating step, the gumming target is grabbed out of the automatically circulating path by use of a transporting device. 
     
     
         11 . The method for automatically gumming a shoe as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein in the gum applying step, it includes the configuration of predetermining a predetermined applying rate of the gum.
