Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of profiling technology, in particular to a wrinkle-proof profiling machine for automobile foot pads. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a commonly used automobile interior accessory, foot pads have the functions of water absorption, dust collection, increasing the friction of the driver's feet, reducing the slipping of the driver's feet, facilitating cleaning, etc., and can effectively keep the vehicle interior clean and reduce safety driving accidents caused by foot slipping.

[0003] During the production process of foot pads, a flat foot pad sheet is usually pressed into shape according to the designed shape and pattern by using a profiling machine and the upper and lower molds installed on the profiling machine. However, there are many problems in the existing foot pad profiling process. For example, when the profiling machine drives the upper mold to descend and the upper and lower molds of the profiling mold are closed, multiple operators need to manually pull the edges and corners of the foot pad sheet located outside the lower mold to prevent the profiling part of the foot pad sheet located inside the lower mold from wrinkling or deforming during the profiling process of the profiling machine, thereby causing quality defects in the profiled foot pad product. As can be seen, manually pulling the foot pad sheet not only consumes a lot of labor, has high labor intensity, and is low in work efficiency, but also is prone to uneven pulling due to simultaneous pulling by multiple people, resulting in unsatisfactory pulling effect. In addition, since the pulling part is close to the position where the upper and lower molds of the profiling machine are closed, the operator is prone to finger extrusion and other accidents, which is extremely dangerous. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides a wrinkle-proof profiling machine for automobile foot pads that can automatically pull the foot pad sheet without the need for operators to approach the profiling machine when the upper mold is descending.

[0005] The present application is achieved by the following technical solution, which provides a wrinkle-proof profiling machine for automobile foot pads, comprising a profiling machine, an upper mold fixed to the profiling head of the profiling machine, and a lower mold fixed to the corresponding position of the profiling machine below the upper mold. A detachable pressing plate is vertically installed on the outer surface of the upper mold. The pressing plate is located at the position close to the edge corner of the foot pad sheet on both sides of the edge corner of the foot pad sheet on the outer surface of the upper mold. The bottom end of the pressing plate is lower than the bottom end of the upper mold. A gap with a thickness suitable for the foot pad sheet is provided between the inner side of the pressing plate and the corresponding outer surface of the lower mold.

[0006] In the scheme, when the upper mold is lowered, the bottom end of the pressing plate first contacts the surface of the foot pad sheet, and with the lowering of the upper mold, the edge corner position of the foot pad sheet located outside the lower mold is bent, the part of the foot pad sheet bent is extruded and fixed on the outer facade of the lower mold without damaging the foot pad sheet, thereby pulling the edge corner of the foot pad sheet during the molding of the upper mold and the lower mold, thereby avoiding the problems of wrinkles and deformation of the foot pad sheet during the molding process of the molding machine.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom end of the pressing plate is provided with an upwardly bent circular arc.

[0008] In the optimization scheme, the bottom end of the pressing plate is provided with an upwardly bent circular arc, thereby avoiding damage to the surface of the foot pad sheet when the pressing plate contacts the foot pad sheet.

[0009] Preferably, the pressing plate is uniformly distributed at intervals on the outer facade of the upper mold except for the positions near the edge corners of the foot pad sheet on both sides of the edge corners of the foot pad sheet.

[0010] In the optimization scheme, by uniformly distributing a plurality of pressing plates at intervals on the outer facade of the upper mold except for the positions near the edge corners of the foot pad sheet on both sides of the edge corners of the foot pad sheet, the remaining parts of the foot pad sheet except for the edge corners can be bent and extruded and fixed on the outer facade of the lower mold before the molding of the upper mold and the lower mold, thereby avoiding the problems of wrinkles and deformation of the foot pad sheet during the molding process of the molding machine.

[0011] Preferably, the lower mold is provided with a fixing plate at the position corresponding to the edge corner of the foot mat sheet, the fixing plate is fixed on the press, the upper surface of the fixing plate is fixed with a plurality of parallel guide columns, the guide columns are slidably connected with a mounting plate, the upper surface of the mounting plate is fixed with pneumatic clamps for clamping the edge corner of the foot mat sheet, the central axis of the pneumatic clamps is parallel to the central axis of the guide columns, the central axis of the pneumatic clamps is in the same vertical reference plane as the central axis of the lower mold, and there is an included angle between the central axis of the pneumatic clamps and the central axis of the lower mold, the distance between the upper end of the pneumatic clamps and the central axis of the lower mold is less than the distance between the lower end of the pneumatic clamps and the central axis of the lower mold, a spring is sleeved on the guide column, one end of the spring is fixed on the mounting plate and the other end of the spring is fixed on the fixing plate, and when the spring is in a free state, the height of the pneumatic clamps is lower than the height of the lowermost end of the bent part of the foot mat sheet.

[0012] In the optimization scheme, since the height of the pneumatic clamps is lower than the height of the lowermost end of the bent part of the foot mat sheet when the spring is in a free state, the pneumatic clamps can always pull the edge corner of the foot mat sheet after clamping the edge corner of the foot mat sheet, thereby further ensuring the pulling effect on the edge corner of the foot mat sheet, and since the mounting plate is slidably connected with the guide columns, the pneumatic clamps can smoothly move along the guide columns by overcoming the pulling force of the spring when the foot mat sheet is pressed in the mold of the upper mold and the lower mold.

[0013] Preferably, the upper surface of the fixing plate is fixed with a pneumatic cylinder at the position corresponding to the mounting plate, the central axis of the piston rod of the pneumatic cylinder is parallel to the central axis of the pneumatic clamps, the front end of the piston rod of the pneumatic cylinder is fixed with a push plate, and when the spring is in a free state and the piston rod of the pneumatic cylinder is fully retracted, the distance between the bottom surface of the mounting plate and the upper surface of the fixing plate is greater than or equal to the distance between the upper surface of the push plate and the upper surface of the fixing plate.

[0014] In the optimization scheme, the pneumatic cylinder and the push plate can move the mounting plate and the pneumatic clamps upward along the axial direction of the guide column to the clamped position of the foot mat sheet by overcoming the pulling force of the spring after the foot mat sheet is bent, thereby saving manpower and reducing the danger of manual operation to the operator, and since the distance between the bottom surface of the mounting plate and the upper surface of the fixing plate is greater than or equal to the distance between the upper surface of the push plate and the upper surface of the fixing plate when the spring is in a free state and the piston rod of the pneumatic cylinder is fully retracted, the pneumatic cylinder and the push plate do not always stretch the spring, thereby ensuring the service life of the spring.

[0015] The scheme also provides a pressing method using the anti-wrinkle press for automobile foot mat, which realizes the pulling of the foot mat sheet during the pressing of the foot mat sheet, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0016] The first step is that an operator positions and places a flat foot pad sheet on a lower mold;

[0017] The second step is that the operator controls the upper mold to descend, and the foot pad sheet is bent at the edge corner and the peripheral part outside the lower mold by the pressing plate, and at this time, the upper mold has not been combined with the lower mold.

[0018] At the same time, the cylinder drives the pushing plate to push the pneumatic clamping jaw to move upward along the guide column to the edge corner of the bent foot pad sheet to clamp the edge corner of the foot pad sheet.

[0019] Then, the cylinder drives the pushing plate to retract, and the pneumatic clamping jaw pulls the foot pad sheet under the action of the spring tension.

[0020] The third step is that the upper mold continues to move downward and is combined with the lower mold to perform the pressing operation on the foot pad sheet, and at the time when the upper mold is combined with the lower mold, the pressing plate extrudes and fixes the part of the foot pad sheet outside the lower mold on the outer surface of the lower mold, and the upper mold drives the foot pad sheet to sink in the lower mold against the spring tension, and in the process of sinking in the lower mold, the spring always applies the outward pulling force to the edge corner of the foot pad sheet through the pneumatic clamping jaw.

[0021] The fourth step is that after the pressing operation of the foot pad sheet is completed, the cylinder drives the pushing plate to move upward to contact with the mounting plate, the pneumatic clamping jaw is released, the cylinder drives the pushing plate to retract, and at the same time, the mounting plate moves downward along the guide column under the action of the spring tension until the spring is in a free state, and then the upper mold rises, and the operator takes away the foot pad sheet after the pressing operation.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present application are that the device can automatically bend, clamp and pull the edge corner and the peripheral part of the foot pad sheet outside the lower mold during the pressing operation of the foot pad sheet, thereby avoiding the situation that the operator suffers from finger extrusion and other accidental injuries, greatly reducing the number of required operators, saving the labor cost, reducing the labor intensity of the operator, improving the pressing efficiency of the foot pad sheet, and avoiding the uneven pulling force on the foot pad sheet, and the pulling effect on the foot pad sheet is better than that of the traditional manual pulling.
