[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of braid shaping, and in particular to a braid shaping method. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the current sports goods market, the requirements for wearable products are gradually increasing, and elastic watch straps, bracelets, etc. are in demand. Most of the existing products use flexible woven materials, which can not only meet the comfort of athletes, but also have unique appearance.

[0003] At present, most of the flexible braided products on the market are disassembled and re-woven on the original basis, or the whole section is dissolved and formed and then covered, which is only used for the connection and assembly of the connector and the flexible braided material, and cannot show the appearance and characteristics of the original flexible braided material. At present, there is no forming and shaping technology that can be used for flexible braided materials, which can not only retain most of the beauty of the braiding, but also meet the requirements of high-precision dimensions. In the prior art, the original braided belt is usually partially disassembled and re-wrapped. Due to the difference in strength of the operators, it will cause the two operations to have inconsistent tightness and inconsistent thickness of the braided rope. Summary of the invention

[0006] Furthermore, the preliminary shaping in step S30 is to bend the parts on both sides of the groove inwardly.

[0007] Furthermore, when the braided belt is initially shaped, the braided belt is placed in a mold for shaping.

[0008] Furthermore, the mold includes a mold body and a clamp, the mold body has a braid placement groove, one end of the braid placement groove has an opening, and the middle of the braid placement groove has a through hole that matches the clamp.

[0009] Furthermore, in step S20, the heating is performed by steam.

[0010] Furthermore, the braided belt is steam heated and bent, and then cold pressed.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S40, shaping is performed by bonding.

[0012] Furthermore, during bonding and shaping, the adhesive film is placed at the bending gap of the braided belt, and a heating block is placed at the position of the adhesive film, and the adhesive film is activated by heat to achieve bonding and shaping.

[0013] Furthermore, the adhesive film needs to be cold pressed after being melt-bonded.

[0014] Furthermore, the groove at the first end of the braided belt is rectangular, and bending avoidance grooves are processed at two corners of the rectangle close to the second end of the braided belt.

[0015] By applying the technical solution of the present application, a groove is processed on the first end of the braided belt, and then the first end of the braided belt is heated, so that the heated first end can be easily pre-shaped, and the braided belt is then shaped after the pre-shaped. Such operation steps will not vary greatly due to the strength of the worker or the factors of the machine, and the braided belt is shaped neatly and with high precision. The technical solution of the present application effectively solves the problem that the braided belt in the prior art cannot be accurately shaped. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0025] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are illustrative and are intended to provide further explanation of the present application.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the shaping method of the braided belt of the embodiment comprises: S10 machining a groove on the first end of the braided belt 10. S20 heating the first end of the braided belt 10 of step S10. S30 performing preliminary shaping on the braided belt 10 of step S20. S40 shaping the braided belt 10 that has been initially shaped in step S30.

[0028] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, a groove is machined on the first end of the braided belt 10, and then the first end of the braided belt 10 is heated, so that the heated first end is easily pre-shaped, and the braided belt 10 is then shaped after the pre-shaped. Such operation steps will not vary greatly due to the strength of the worker or the factors of the machine, and the braided belt 10 is shaped neatly and with high precision. The technical solution of this application effectively solves the problem that the braided belt in the prior art cannot be accurately shaped.

[0029] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the preliminary shaping in step S30 is to bend the parts on both sides of the groove inward. The braided belt 10 is processed with a groove so that the edges on both sides of the groove are bent inward, and the groove forms an avoidance part. It should be noted that when the edges on both sides of the groove are bent inward, the thickness of the braided belt 10 is kept unchanged.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, when the braided belt 10 is initially shaped, the braided belt 10 is placed in a mold 20 for shaping. The braided belt 10 is shaped by the mold 20, so that the product (braided belt 10) is made more standardized and neat, and the processed products will not be different due to different factors such as the experience and strength of the operators.

[0031] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the mold 20 includes a mold body 21 and a clamp 22, the mold body 21 has a braid placement groove 211, one end of the braid placement groove 211 has an opening, and the middle of the braid placement groove 211 has a through hole 212 that matches the clamp 22. The provision of the through hole 212 facilitates the installation of the clamp 22, and the braid 10 is fixed by the clamp 22, so that the processing of the braid 10 is more accurate and it is not easy to have the phenomenon of misalignment.

[0032] In the technical solution of this embodiment (not shown in the figure), steam is used for heating in step S20. The steam heating method is easy to control, and the steam heating process is controllable and not easy to damage the braided belt 10. It should be noted that in the technical solution of this embodiment, steam heating requires pressurization, the pressurization is between 10Kg and 19Kg, the steam heating temperature is 130℃ to 170℃, and the pressure holding time is 60S.

[0033] In the technical solution of this embodiment (not shown in the figure), the braided belt 10 is steam-heated and bent, and then cold-pressed. The cold-pressing time is between 50S and 90S, and the cold-pressing temperature is between 3°C and 18°C. The braided belt 10 that is steam-heated and then cooled has a better shaping effect, and is not prone to the problem of large rebound of the braided belt 10 after preliminary shaping.

[0034] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the shaping is performed by bonding in step S40. The braided belt 10 after shaping will not rebound. Due to the bonding force, the braided belt 10 shaped by this method will not rebound. It should be noted that, according to processing needs, the braided belt 10 can be fixed with other objects before bonding. The braided belt 10 can be bonded with other objects at this time, which plays a role in shaping and bonding with other objects.

[0035] like Figure 2As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, during bonding and shaping, the adhesive film is bonded to the bending gap of the braided belt 10, and the heating block 30 is placed at the adhesive film position, and the adhesive film is activated by heat to achieve bonding and shaping. The heating activation of the heating block 30 makes the above bonding method more firm and is not prone to cleanliness and hygiene problems caused by glue leakage.

[0036] In the technical solution of this embodiment (not shown in the figure), the adhesive film needs to be cold pressed after melting and bonding. After cold pressing, the bonding and curing effect of the braid 10 is better. This embodiment makes full use of the characteristics of the adhesive and the braid 10, which are easy to plastically deform at high temperatures. After the temperature is lowered, the curing effect is better and it is not easy to deform. It should be noted that the temperature of cold pressing is between 3°C and 18°C, the time of cold pressing is between 8S and 70S, and the pressure of cold pressing is maintained between 12Kg and 13Kg.

[0037] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the groove at the first end of the braided belt 10 is rectangular, and bending avoidance grooves are processed at two corners of the rectangle near the second end of the braided belt 10. The rectangular groove is easy to process and has high processing efficiency. The setting of the bending avoidance groove makes it difficult for the braided belt 10 to be stacked when it is bent.

[0038] It should be noted that the technical solution of this embodiment also includes an auxiliary pressing block (pressing block 40), and before the heating block 30 is heated, the braided belt 10 and the mold body 21 need to be pressed by the auxiliary pressing block. It should be noted that the auxiliary pressing block is made of non-heat-conductive material (similar to synthetic stone, Peek block, etc.), and the bottom is selected to have a serrated or wavy protrusion (a patch can be used), and the protruding surface of the pressing block 40 slightly protrudes from the bottom of the heating block to increase the fixing ability of the flexible object.

[0039] It can be seen from the above that the braided belt 10 of this embodiment is a plastic material or a flexible material, which is used in electronic products such as watch straps and bracelets. During production, firstly, a bendable shape (not limited to a rectangle) is cut out according to the final desired shape. In order to ensure that the arcs on both sides always maintain the characteristics of the original material, a rectangular opening is cut out (sharp corners or saw teeth can be added at the corners to reduce bending resistance). Then, a clamping block (clamp 22) is used to fix the soft product (braided belt 10), and the positioning reference is transferred from the flexible braid to the hard clamping block. The hardness of the clamp 22 is higher than that of the braided belt 10, and it is easy to position. Then, a heating block 30 is used to preliminarily heat the required processing area, and the forming can retain the arc shape at room temperature, which is convenient for the back-end operation. Through steam shaping, the flexibility of the braiding outside the heating area and all steam-affected areas can be restored. All heated areas of the product are steam-treated, and the size of the steam area can be adjusted for the flexible braid according to the preliminary hot pressing. Finally, the adhesive film is bonded to the gap created by the bending (the size of the adhesive film depends on the cutting shape and the size of the gap after bending), and the required area is heated and activated using the heating block 30 (the film activation temperature needs to be adjusted according to different materials). Finally, because the heating temperature may be higher than the maximum temperature of the flexible fabric itself, it melts and needs to be cooled after heating (usually cooled to room temperature, depending on various conditions).

[0040] The technical solution of the present application is designed to solve the problem of forming and shaping of flexible materials. Based on the stretchability and resilience of the flexible woven material itself, the required properties of the flexible material itself are retained, and only the material properties of a small area are changed to achieve a better forming and shaping effect.
