Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dumbbell processing, and specifically to a rapid dumbbell rubber coating process. Background Art

[0002] The rubber-coated dumbbell belongs to a type of dumbbell. The inside of the rubber-coated dumbbell is integrally formed of pure iron, and the outside is covered with rubber to form a rubber layer, so it is named rubber-coated dumbbell. The rubber-coated dumbbell is provided with a rubber bonding structure on the surface of the bell head. The bonding structure is a protrusion or a depression to increase the surface area of the bell head bonded to the rubber and increase the bonding strength. The rubber-coated dumbbell is a relatively common fitness equipment. The rubber-coated dumbbell has a delicate appearance, good hand feeling, does not hurt the hand, is protected by the colloid, and does not generate noise during training.

[0003] The rubber coating process is an essential process in the production and processing of rubber-coated dumbbells. The traditional rubber coating process uses two sets of concave molds to cover the bell heads at both ends, and then directly injects plastic. A rubber layer is formed on the bell heads at both ends of the dumbbell. After processing, the molds are demolded one by one. This traditional rubber coating process is not only very inconvenient for demolding, but also generally requires the overall replacement of different injection molds when processing rubber layers of different specifications. The applicable range of the molds is small, and at the same time, it further increases the processing cost.

[0004] Therefore, we have developed a new rapid dumbbell rubber coating process. Summary of the Invention
