(7) (2) weaving U shape tube fabric: one side of the U shape tube fabric being an outer vamp 1, the other side being an inner vamp 2, both the outer vamp 1 and the inner vamp 2 being of a tube shape, a turn in the middle of the U shape tube fabric being a shoe opening part where the inner vamp 2 and the outer vamp 1 intersect; the vamp machine weaving in an order of a starting opening 16, an outer toe cap 11, an outer shoe body 12, an outer heel 13, an outer shoe shaft 14, an outer shoe opening 15 to an inner shoe opening 25, an inner shoe shaft 24, an inner heel 23, an inner shoe body 22, an inner toe cap 21, the stretch yarn yarn feeding orifice cooperating with the main color opening yarn feeding orifice during the course of weaving, achieving technical effects of local jacquard, local texturing at the outer vamp 1 with respect to processes and functions required by respective portions of the vamp, texturing and weaving being possible to be performed on the shoe opening portion and the shoe shaft portion, of course, the jacquard process being also possible to be performed on the inner vamp 2 according to the design;

(8) (3) stitching an inner toe seam: grasping and rotating the woven U shape tube fabric to a stitching device muzzle bell by an automatic robot arm, locating it by a sewing needle disc and pushing it straight by a top shaft, locating the inner toe opening 211 at a sewing needle position of the apparatus, performing aligned automatic stitching along the inner toe opening 211 to form the inner toe seam;

(9) (4) stitching the outer toe seam: sucking the U shape tube fabric to an outlet opening through a suction pipe, taking the U shape tube fabric where the inner toe seam has already been stitched from the outlet opening, using a seam disc machine to perform manual stitching along the outer toe opening 111 to form the outer toe seam, then manually removing the starting opening yarn and the scrap thread 9 at the starting opening 16.

(10) (5) forming a one-piece-vamp semifinished product: overlapping the inner vamp and the outer vamp by extending the inner vamp 2 into the tube of the outer vamp 1 in the shoe opening part, making inner, outer toe caps 21, 11, inner, outer shoe bodies 22, 12, inner, outer heels 23, 13, inner, outer shoe shafts 24, 14, inner, outer shoe openings 25, 15 correspond to each other respectively, forming a two-layer one-piece-vamp semifinished product;

(11) (6) performing reshaping, setting and shape fixing on the vamp: putting the one-piece-vamp semifinished product on a shoe tree, using 100 C.-120 C. to perform scalding, using a transparent alignment plate to make fine adjustment to the vamp linking portions or patterns manually for position alignment during the course of scalding, and hot melt silk being melt to adhere the inner, outer vamps 2, 1 to each other as one piece, taking the shoe tree out after cooling for 2-3 minutes, forming the one-piece-vamp.

(12) In order to achieve jacquard with rich colors and gradations, said vamp machine is equipped with 1 main color opening, the main color opening is equipped with 8 main color opening yarn feeding orifices, hot melt silk is fed by the main color opening yarn feeding orifice, said vamp machine is equipped with 6 match color openings, each match color opening is equipped with 3 match color opening yarn feeding orifices, 1-2 match color opening yarn feeding orifices are usually used, at most 3 match color opening yarn feeding orifices may be used according to the process design, the match color opening is also equipped with 1 stretch yarn yarn feeding orifice. The main color opening yarn feeding orifices and the match color opening yarn feeding orifices work in cooperation with each other. Under a same horizontal woven row, 2 main color opening yarn feeding orifices (wherein one for main color yarn, the other for hot melt silk) are used, each of 6 match color openings uses 1 match color yarn feeding orifice, i.e. at a local jacquard portion, a same horizontal woven row may implement at most 7 colors.

(13) Said 8 main color opening yarn feeding orifices are used for inner yarn feeding, outer yarn feeding, inner hot melt silk, outer hot melt silk, inner heel yarn feeding and hot melt silk, outer heel yarn feeding and hot melt silk, starting opening yarn feeding, scrap yarn yarn feeding, respectively, and according to the main color of the inner outer vamp 1 and the process requirements, 4-8 main color opening yarn feeding orifices are chosen for yarn feeding. The starting opening yarn feeding and the scrap thread yarn feeding respectively need one yarn feeding orifice, and their function is to implement the joining thread locating function of starting opening weaving and seal opening stitching. According to inner and outer main colors and the process requirements, inner yarn feeding, outer yarn feeding, inner hot melt silk, outer hot melt silk need 1-4 yarn feeding orifices, and according to the main colors and the process requirements, inner heel yarn feeding and hot melt silk, outer heel yarn feeding and hot melt silk need 1-2 yarn feeding orifices, the heel yarn feeding and hot melt silk yarn feeding orifices have two needle holes, they may pass main color yarn and hot melt silk through at the same time. Usually, with respect to heel jacquard, jacquard is performed on only the heel of the outer vamp 1, whereas the inner heel vamp generally does not need jacquard, and if it needs jacquard, it uses a method which is the same as that for the outer vamp. Heel jacquard can only use main color opening yarn feeding orifices, and configure yarn feeding orifices according to different process requirements and jacquard colors, a same vamp may use 2-5 yarn feeding orifices simultaneously to perform jacquard weaving, namely heel jacquard colors may be up to 2-5 colors. Toe cap jacquard is the same as heel jacquard weaving.

(14) As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention also provides a one-piece-woven-vamp, it includes a one-piece-woven tubulous outer vamp 1 and an inner vamp 2, toe caps of the outer vamp 1 and the inner vamp 2 are closed, the inner vamp 2 is back to fold into the outer vamp 1 from the shoe opening part to be a two-layer stereoscopic vamp and adhered to each other as one piece; the semifinished product of the vamp is one-piece-woven U shape tube fabric, one side of U shape tube fabric is the outer vamp 1, the other side is the inner vamp 2, both the outer, inner vamps are of a tube shape, a turn in the middle of the U shape tube fabric is the shoe opening part where the inner vamp 2 and the outer vamp 1 intersect, after the two ends of U shape tube fabric, i.e. toe caps of the inner, outer vamps 2, 1 are stitched, the inner vamp 2 are extended into the tube of the outer vamp 1 in the shoe opening part to form the one-piece-vamp semifinished product; when the one-piece-vamp is woven, stretch yarn and hot melt silk and raw material color yarn are woven together, so that the vamp is textured at least in shoe opening part. The one-piece-woven-vamp is manufactured by the vamp manufacture method according to the above mentioned technical solution, its outer vamp 1 is woven with jacquard to form the vamp pattern 17, said stretch yarn is spandex cladded yarn. The vamp is taken out after it is reshaped, set, shape-fixed, cooled, to form a stereoscopic vamp including a shoe opening 3, a shoe tongue 4, a shoe shaft 5, a shoe heel 6, a shoe body 7, a toe cap 8, the shoe tongue 4 is located at the front of the shoe opening 3, the shoe shaft 5 is located between the shoe opening 3 and the shoe heel 6, glue is brushed on the bottom of the outer layer of the stereoscopic vamp to adhere to a shoe sole, to make the shoe. The two-layer vamp is of a tube shape, it naturally forms a soft and comfortable insole, glue is directly brushed on the bottom of the two-layer vamp to adhere to the shoe sole, in comparison with stitching the shoe, the process is more simple, it is time saving and labor saving, the cost of shoemaking is greatly reduced.
