Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of machinery, and in particular to an edge wrapping device for an automobile armrest. Background Art

[0002] During the processing of the semi-finished automobile armrest, it is necessary to first spray hot melt adhesive on the inner surface of the cut skin to form a hot melt adhesive layer, and then paste the skin with the hot melt adhesive layer on the outer surface of the automobile armrest frame, and then flip the skin located at the edge of the automobile armrest frame and wrap it around and paste it on the inner surface of the automobile armrest frame.

[0003] At present, the glue spraying process in the processing of semi-finished automobile products is usually completed manually, and the pasting of the skin, decorative fabrics, etc. and the edge binding process are completed manually or automatically by edge binding equipment. CN108582808A discloses a door panel edge binding device with a pulling member, which is used to paste decorative fabrics and edge binding on the door panel frame. The fabric fixing structure used in the fabric pasting is fixed by pulling and vacuuming the pulling member, and the pulling member takes up a large space, which is not conducive to the layout of the overall equipment, and the control process of the pulling member is also relatively complicated.

[0004] In addition, the structure of the car armrest is very different from that of the car door panel, and the edging requirements are also different. Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the structure of the automobile armrest frame of the present invention, such as Figure 8 As shown, the automobile armrest frame 1 includes a transition edge 2 and a non-transition edge 3 . Fig. 9 yes Figure 8 The enlarged schematic diagram of the transition edge is shown in Figure 2. Fig. 9 As shown, the transition edge 2 narrows from wide in the horizontal direction and gradually decreases in height in the vertical direction, that is, it is S-shaped in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The special structure of the transition edge 2 increases the difficulty of hemming this part, and the hemming structure in the prior art cannot hem it.

[0005] In addition, the skin used for processing the above-mentioned automobile armrest is a PVC skin, including a first skin area and a second skin area connected together. For the sake of aesthetics, three stitches extending along the length direction are arranged on the first skin area, and a plurality of positioning holes are pre-cut on the entire edge of the entire skin. The positioning holes penetrate the skin, and the plurality of positioning holes are evenly distributed along the edge of the skin. In the prior art, there is no special fixing device to position such a skin.

[0027] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of the present invention easy to understand, the following embodiments are combined with the accompanying drawings to specifically illustrate the automobile armrest edging device of the present invention.

[0028] Figure 1 It is a structural block diagram of the glue spraying and edging system for automobile armrests in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0029] As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a car armrest glue spraying and edging system 1000, including a glue spraying device 100, a car armrest composite edging device 200 and a control device 300. The control device 300 is used to control the operation of the glue spraying device 100 and the car armrest composite edging device 200, so that the surface processed by the glue spraying device 100 is transferred to the car armrest composite edging device 200 for processing at a constant interval. The transfer can be manual or automatic.

[0030] The glue spraying device 100 is used to spray hot melt glue on the inner surface of the cut skin mentioned in the background technology, and has a glue spraying control device 110. The glue spraying device 100 is a prior art, for example, the automobile interior door panel glue spraying device in the previously published Chinese invention patent application CN110947561A applied by the applicant is adopted, and on this basis, the bracket for fixing the automobile interior door panel in the placement part thereof is changed into a structure for fixing the skin. In addition, the glue spraying control device 110 is connected to the control device 300 in communication and operates under the control of the control device 300.

[0031] Figure 2 The three-dimensional structure diagram of the composite hemming equipment for the automobile armrest in the embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 1 ; Figure 3 The three-dimensional structure diagram of the composite hemming equipment for the automobile armrest in the embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 2 .

[0032] The automobile armrest composite hemming device 200 is used to adhere the skin with hot melt adhesive (layer) on the inner surface processed by the glue spraying device 100 to the automobile armrest frame 1, and hem the automobile armrest frame 1. Figure 1-3 As shown, the automobile armrest composite edge wrapping device 200 includes a supporting mechanism 210 , a skin fixing device 220 , a frame fixing device 230 , a baking device 240 , an edge wrapping device 250 and an edge wrapping control device 260 .

[0033] The edge wrapping control device 260 is connected to the control device 300 in communication, and includes a first control unit 261 and a second control unit 262. The first control unit 261 is used to control the operation of the skin fixing device 220, the frame fixing device 230 and the baking device 240 under the control of the control device 300. The second control unit 262 is used to control the operation of the edge wrapping device under the control of the control device 300.

[0034] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the support mechanism 210 includes a lower support portion 211 and an upper support portion 212 connected together.

[0035] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the structure of the epidermis fixing device in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the skin fixing device 220 is used to fix and position the skin, and includes a fixing frame (not shown in the figure), a contour mold 221, a pneumatic positioning unit 222 and a vacuum generator 223 (not shown in the figure). The fixing frame is installed on the lower support part 211.

[0037] The profiling mold 221 is fixedly arranged on the fixing frame, and has a shape matching the shape of the automobile armrest frame 1, and is used to fix the skin during the processing to prevent the skin from moving during the processing, so as to facilitate the smooth progress of the processing. The profiling mold 221 includes a first mold area 2211, a second mold area 2212, and a long side area 2213. A plurality of through hole groups 2214 are arranged on the first mold area 2211 and the second mold area 2212, and each through hole group 2214 includes 4-8 through holes 22141 arranged along a straight line.

[0038] The first mold area 2211 corresponds to the first epidermis area of ​​the epidermis, and the multiple through holes 22141 in the through hole group 2214 arranged on the first mold area 2211 are linearly distributed along the length direction of the profiling mold 221, and the multiple through hole groups 2214 are both arranged in rows and columns. The portion of the first mold area 2211 corresponding to the suture of the epidermis is not provided with through holes 22141. The second mold area 2212 corresponds to the second epidermis area of ​​the epidermis, and the multiple through holes 22141 in the through hole group 2214 arranged on the second mold area 2212 are linearly distributed along the length direction of the profiling mold 221, and the multiple through hole groups 2214 are arranged in rows. The long side area 2213 is provided with multiple through holes 2215 evenly distributed along its length direction.

[0039] The vacuum generator is fixedly arranged on the fixing frame, and is a vacuum pump, which is respectively connected to the through holes 22141 through vacuum pipes (not shown in the figure). When the vacuum pump evacuates the air in the vacuum pipes and through holes 22141, the through holes 22141 suck the skin tightly onto the contour mold 221.

[0040] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the structure of the pneumatic positioning unit in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, the pneumatic positioning unit 222 is fixedly arranged on the fixing frame, and has a positioning pin 2221 and a positioning pin driving cylinder 2222. The positioning pin 2221 matches the positioning hole of the epidermis, and is used to pass through the positioning hole so that the epidermis is positioned on the profiling mold 221. The positioning pin driving cylinder 2222 is used to drive the positioning pin 2221 to move down or up. When the positioning pin driving cylinder 2222 drives the positioning pin 2221 to rise, the positioning pin 2221 is in the positioning position. At this time, by placing the epidermis on the positioning pin, the epidermis can be positioned on the profiling mold 221, so that the first epidermis area of ​​the epidermis corresponds to the first mold area 2211, and the second epidermis area corresponds to the second mold area 2212. When the positioning pin driving cylinder 2222 drives the positioning pin 2221 to move down, it is convenient for the hemming device 250 to hem from above the positioning pin 2221.

[0042] The number of the pneumatic positioning units 222 is the same as the number of the positioning holes on the skin. A plurality of pneumatic positioning units 222 are arranged around the periphery of the contouring mold 221, and their distribution corresponds to the distribution of the positioning holes.

[0043] The pneumatic positioning unit 222 corresponding to the long side area 2213 is arranged below the through hole 2215 of the long side area 2213. When the positioning pin driving cylinder 2222 drives the positioning pins 2221 to rise, the positioning pins 2221 pass through and out of the through hole 2215, thereby reaching their positioning positions. The part of the positioning pin 2221 that passes through the through hole 2215 is used to position the epidermis. When the positioning pin driving cylinder 2222 drives the positioning pin 2221 to move downward, the top of the positioning pin 2221 is lower than the top of the through hole 2215.

[0044] like Figure 2As shown, the frame fixing device 230 is installed on the upper support part 212, and is used to fix the automobile armrest frame 1, including a frame fixing unit (not shown in the figure) and a vertical driving unit (not shown in the figure). The frame fixing unit is installed on the vertical driving unit and is located directly above the contour mold 221, and is used to fix the automobile armrest frame 1 and move up and down under the drive of the vertical driving unit. The frame fixing unit is a prior art, such as a structure in which a positioning mold and a clamp are matched. The vertical driving unit is a prior art, such as a slide rail structure.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the baking device 240 is installed on the lower support part 211, and is used to heat the hot melt adhesive on the car armrest frame 1 and the skin. The baking device 240 includes a heating unit 241 and a horizontal driving unit (not shown in the figure). The heating unit 241 includes a heating frame (not shown in the figure), an upper heating tube (not shown in the figure) and a lower heating tube (not shown in the figure). The heating frame is installed on the horizontal driving unit. The upper heating tube is installed on the heating frame, and is used to heat the car armrest frame 1 under the control of the first control unit 261; the lower heating tube is installed on the heating frame, and is used to melt the hot melt adhesive layer of the skin under the control of the first control unit 261. The horizontal driving unit is used to drive the heating frame of the heating unit 241 to move horizontally. When the heating frame is driven by the horizontal driving unit to move horizontally from the heating initial position to the heating position, the upper heating tube is located below the frame fixing unit and corresponds to the frame fixing unit, and the lower heating tube is located above the profiling mold 221 and corresponds to the profiling mold 221. The horizontal driving unit is a prior art, such as a slide rail structure.

[0046] Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the structure of the hemming device in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, the hemming device 250 is used to flip the skin adhered to the automobile armrest frame 1 from the outer surface of the automobile armrest frame 1 to the inner surface, and includes a hand-like grasping hemming mechanism 251 and a non-transition edge hemming mechanism 252. The hand-like grasping hemming mechanism 251 and the non-transition edge hemming mechanism 252 are both arranged on the outer side of the profiling mold 221.

[0048] Figure 7 It is a structural schematic diagram of a hand-like grasping hemming mechanism in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0049] like Figure 7As shown, the hand-like grasping hemming mechanism 251 is used to hem the transition edge 2 of the automobile armrest frame 1, so the mechanism is also called a transition edge hemming mechanism. There are at least two transition edge hemming mechanisms 251, which are respectively arranged at positions corresponding to the transition edge 2. Each transition edge hemming mechanism 251 includes a first flanging unit 2511, a first positioning and pressing unit 2512, and a first control unit (not shown in the figure).

[0050] The first flanging unit 2511 includes a first flanging block 25111 and a first flanging driving member 25112. The first flanging block 25111 is correspondingly arranged on the outer side of the transition edge 2, is arranged horizontally, is in an inverted L shape, matches the shape of the transition edge, and has a first upper surface 251111 and a first lower surface 251112 that are S-shaped in the vertical direction, and a first side surface 251113 that is S-shaped in the horizontal direction. The first flanging driving member 25112 is used to drive the first flanging block 25111 to move forward or backward or move downward or upward. The first flanging driving member 25112 is a cylinder driving member, and the cylinder driving member, for example, includes two cylinders, which respectively drive the first flanging block 25111 to move in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction.

[0051] The first positioning and clamping unit 2512 includes a first clamping block 25121 and a first clamping driving member 25122. The first clamping block 25121 is rotatably connected to the first flanging block 25111 via a rotating shaft, so that the first clamping block 25121 can rotate relative to the first flanging block 25111, and can move forward or backward or move downward or upward together with the first flanging block 25111. The first clamping block 25121 is in an inverted L-shape, and has a clamping lower surface 251211 that matches the shape and size of the first upper surface 251111. The first clamping driving member 25122 is used to drive the first clamping block to rotate forward or backward by a predetermined angle. The first clamping driving member 25122 is a cylinder driving member.

[0052] The first upper surface 251111, the first lower surface 251112, the first side surface 251113 and the pressing lower surface 251211 are all smooth surfaces.

[0053] The first control unit is in communication connection with the second control unit 262, and is used to control the first pressing driving member 25122 to drive the first pressing block 25121 to rotate forward or backward by a predetermined angle under the control of the second control unit 262. When the first pressing block 25121 rotates forward by a predetermined angle, the pressing lower surface 251211 presses the epidermis onto the first upper surface 251111 in a predetermined state. The predetermined state is a state in which the first pressing block 25121 and the first flange block 25111 can both drive the epidermis to move and slide relative to the epidermis.

[0054] The first control unit is also used to control the first flanging driving member 25112 to drive the first flanging block 25111 to move forward or backward or rise or move downward under the control of the second control unit 262. When the first flanging block 25111 moves forward, the first flanging block 25111 turns the skin from the outer surface of the automobile armrest frame 1 to the inner surface; when the first flanging block 25111 moves downward, the first flanging block 25111 makes the skin cover the inner surface of the automobile armrest frame 1.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, the non-transition edge hemming mechanism 252 is used to hem the non-transition edge 3 of the automobile armrest frame 1. There are multiple non-transition edge hemming mechanisms 252, which are respectively arranged at positions corresponding to the non-transition edges 3. Each non-transition edge hemming mechanism 252 includes a second flanging unit 2521 and a first control unit (not shown in the figure).

[0056] The second flanging unit 2521 includes a second flanging block 25211 and a second flanging driving member 25212. The second flanging block 25211 matches the shape of the non-transition edge and is in an inverted L shape. The second flanging driving member 25212 is used to drive the second flanging block 25211 to move forward or backward or rise or move downward. The second flanging driving member 25212 is a cylinder driving member.

[0057] The second control unit is in communication connection with the second control unit 262, and is used to control the second flanging driving member 25212 to drive the second flanging block 25211 to move forward or backward or rise or move downward under the control of the second control unit 262. When the second flanging block 25211 moves forward, the second flanging block 25211 turns the skin from the outer surface of the automobile armrest frame 1 to the inner surface; when the second flanging block 25211 moves downward, the second flanging block 25211 makes the skin cover the inner surface of the automobile armrest frame 1.

[0058] The first control unit 261 controls the operation of the skin fixing device 220, the frame fixing device 230 and the baking device 240 under the control of the control device 300, so that the process of sticking the skin with the hot melt adhesive (layer) on the inner surface to the automobile armrest frame 1 includes the following steps:

[0059] In step S1-1, the first control unit 261 controls the positioning needle driving cylinder 2222 to drive the positioning needle 2221 to rise from its initial position to the positioning position, and then enters step S1-2.

[0060] Step S1-2, align the positioning hole of the skin with the positioning pin 2221, and place the skin with the back side facing upward on the contour mold 221 and the positioning pin 2221. And, fix the automobile armrest frame 1 on the frame fixing unit with the surface (outer surface) to which the skin is to be attached facing downward. Then proceed to step S1-3.

[0061] In step S1-3, the first control unit 261 controls the vacuum generator to evacuate the space so as to absorb the decorative fabric onto the contoured mold 221. Then, the process proceeds to step S1-4.

[0062] In step S1-4, the first control unit 261 controls the vertical driving unit to drive the frame fixing unit to move downward from its initial position to the heating position, and controls the horizontal driving unit to drive the heating unit 241 to move horizontally from the heating initial position to the heating position. Then, step S1-5 is entered.

[0063] Step S1-5, the first control unit 261 controls the upper heating tube to heat the automobile armrest frame 1, and controls the lower heating tube to heat the hot melt adhesive layer of the surface fixed on the contour mold 221. Then enter step S1-6.

[0064] In step S1-6, the first control unit 261 controls the horizontal driving unit to drive the heating unit 241 to retreat to the initial heating position, and controls the upper heating tube and the lower heating tube to stop heating. Then, the process proceeds to step S1-7.

[0065] Step S1-7, the first control unit 261 controls the vertical driving unit to drive the frame fixing unit to move downward from the heating station to the pasting station, so that the automobile armrest frame 1 is pressed tightly against the skin. Then, step S1-8 is entered.

[0066] In step S1-8, the first control unit 261 controls the positioning pin driving cylinder 2222 to drive the positioning pin 2221 to return from its positioning position to its initial position. At this time, the hemming device 250 operates to flip the skin at the edge of the automobile armrest frame 1 and press it to the inner surface of the automobile armrest frame 1. Then enter step S1-9.

[0067] In step S1-9, the first control unit 261 controls the vacuum generator to stop vacuuming, and then enters step S1-10.

[0068] Step S1-10, the first control unit 261 controls the vertical driving unit to drive the frame fixing unit to rise from the pasting station back to its initial station, and then enters step S1-11.

[0069] Step S1-11, removing the automobile armrest frame 1 that has been pasted and hemmed (processed) from the frame fixing unit, thus completing a round of pasting and hemming processing.

[0070] The second control unit 262, under the control of the control device 300, controls the transition edge hemming mechanism 251 through the first control unit to hem the transition edge 2 of the automobile armrest frame 1, and the process includes the following steps:

[0071] Step S2-1, the first control unit controls the first pressing driving member 25122 to drive the first pressing block 25121 to rotate forward by a predetermined angle, so that the pressing lower surface 251211 presses the epidermis onto the first upper surface 251111 in a predetermined state, and then enters step S2-2. The predetermined state is a state in which the first pressing block 25121 and the first flange block 25111 can both drive the epidermis to move and slide relative to the epidermis.

[0081] Functions and Effects of the Embodiments

[0082] According to the hemming device involved in this embodiment, because it includes an hemming mechanism that imitates hand-like grasping and a non-transition edge hemming mechanism, the hemming mechanism that imitates hand-like grasping includes a flanging unit, a positioning and pressing unit and a first control unit, the flanging unit includes a pressing block and a pressing drive component, the positioning and pressing unit includes a pressing block and a pressing drive component, the first control unit can control the pressing drive component to drive the pressing block to rotate forward by a predetermined angle, so that the pressing lower surface presses the skin on the first upper surface in a predetermined state, the predetermined state is a state in which the pressing block and the flanging block can both drive the skin to move and slide relative to the skin, so that when the flanging block moves forward at a second predetermined speed under the control of the first control unit, so that the skin is flipped from the outer surface of the automobile armrest frame to the inner surface, it can imitate the state of manual hemming while tightening the skin and slowly sliding out, thereby preventing the occurrence of skin wrinkles and achieving high-quality hemming of the transition edge of the frame.

[0083] Likewise, when the flanging block performs an ascending motion at a first predetermined speed and a descending motion at a third predetermined speed under the control of the first control unit, the epidermis is also in a tight and slowly sliding out state.

[0084] Furthermore, the first control unit also controls the flanging driving component to drive the flanging block to rise at a first predetermined speed, so that the first lower surface is higher than a predetermined height of the upper surface of the transition edge, and the predetermined height is less than or equal to the thickness of the epidermis, so that when the epidermis is flipped from the outer surface of the automobile armrest frame to the inner surface, the flanging block presses the epidermis onto the automobile armrest frame, thereby achieving a better pasting and edging effect.

[0085] Furthermore, the first predetermined speed, the second predetermined speed and the third predetermined speed are equal and less than the return speed of the flanging block, which not only ensures the uniformity and consistency during flanging and achieves a good flanging effect, but also further shortens the return time and improves the processing efficiency.

[0086] Furthermore, the pressing block and the flanging block are rotatably connected via a rotating shaft, which has a simple structure and facilitates controlling the flanging block to rotate to a predetermined angle.

[0087] The above-mentioned embodiments are preferred examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
