Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile parts processing, in particular to a device and method for avoiding aluminum foil rupture on the surface of sound insulation pad parts. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to provide better sound insulation, heat insulation and flame resistance, etc., some sound insulation pad parts require a layer of aluminum foil on the surface of the product during production to achieve the required performance indicators. However, due to the poor tensile properties of aluminum foil compared to non-woven fabric, light foam, glass fiber, felt, PET, etc., once the product features have a large drop and frequent fluctuations, the aluminum foil cannot be stretched in place in these areas, resulting in aluminum foil rupture in the feature area, and ultimately the aluminum foil cannot completely cover the required area, resulting in performance that cannot meet the requirements. Currently, in order to alleviate such situations, the general solution is: preforming + later patching, that is, during product forming, the main product is preformed (leaving a 20mm gap) to form the approximate shape of the product, then the press is opened, the worker places the aluminum foil on the surface of the product, and manually presses the aluminum foil according to the features of the product to make the aluminum foil as close as possible to the surface of the product, reducing the stretching amount during the final forming and cutting process and reducing the risk of aluminum foil rupture. However, due to manual operation, the problem of aluminum foil rupture and non-adhesion to the main body of the product cannot be completely avoided during the final forming and cutting process, so an additional patching process is required, that is, the aluminum foil is manually adhered to the problematic area later, resulting in low production efficiency, increased scrap rate, and high labor cost for such products.

[0012] Further preferably, for the area with a slope of 70-90° of the acoustic insulation pad part, the slope of the aluminum foil is increased while the stretching allowance is increased.

[0013] More preferably, for the area with a slope of 70-90° of the acoustic insulation pad part, the slope of the aluminum foil is adjusted to be 1 / 2 of the initial angle while the stretching allowance is increased.

[0025] The application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific examples. The following examples are implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the application, and detailed implementation modes and specific operation processes are given, but the protection scope of the application is not limited to the following examples.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] A method for avoiding the rupture of the aluminum foil on the surface of the sound insulation pad part, a set of pneumatic aluminum foil pre-pressing tool is designed, the aluminum foil is formed into the required characteristic shape in advance, and the stretching allowance is reserved in advance in the characteristic area with large difference and serious stretching, so that when the aluminum foil is placed in the mold for forming and cutting, it can be ensured that the aluminum foil is completely fitted with the product profile, and there is enough aluminum foil for material stretching in the area with large difference, thereby ensuring that the aluminum foil is complete and neatly covered on the surface of the product.

[0028] As shown in Figs. 1-2 , the aluminum foil pre-pressing tool includes a pre-pressing block 1, a pre-forming lower die 2, a cylinder 3, a top fixed plate 4 and a machine frame 5, the pre-forming lower die 2 is arranged on the machine frame 5 and located below the pre-pressing block 1, the top fixed plate 4 is arranged on the machine frame 5, and the cylinder 3 is arranged on the top fixed plate 4, and the cylinder 3 is connected with the pre-pressing block 1.

[0029] The specific design scheme of the aluminum foil pre-pressing tool is as follows: according to the different characteristics of the profile, 2-3mm gap is reserved between the upper and lower modules in the flat area for forming the required characteristics of the product; in the area with serious difference, the concave-convex area needs to be lowered / higher by 1 / 2 of the height of the characteristics itself, which increases the space and reserves enough raw materials for stretching when integrated with the product; if the slope of the characteristics is not enough (the slope is 70-90°), the slope needs to be adjusted artificially while increasing the stretching allowance, so as to ensure that the aluminum foil will not be ruptured due to local severe stretching, and the slope adjustment is generally 1 / 2 of the initial angle.

[0030] The aluminum foil of the outer front wall sound insulation pad of a certain vehicle model is optimized by using the method of the example. As shown in Figs. 3-5 , the aluminum foil stretching area after pre-pressing has enough allowance, and by designing the stretching allowance in advance and using the pre-pressing tool to form the aluminum foil in advance, it can be ensured that the aluminum foil and the product are completely fitted without rupture when finally forming and cutting.

[0031] Comparative Example 1

[0032] like Fig. 6 As shown, in the traditional forming method, aluminum foil sheets need to be manually pressed and bonded to the product in the stretching area, resulting in low production efficiency, high scrap rate, and extremely high labor costs.

[0033] The above description of the embodiments is provided to enable those skilled in the art to understand and use the invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to these embodiments, and the general principles described herein can be applied to other embodiments without inventive effort. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and any improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the scope of the invention should be within the protection scope of the present invention.
