Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of football production, in particular to a magnetic splicing football mold and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Football is a world-class sport with a large fan base, leading to a growing demand for footballs. The current mainstream football assembly processes include: TSBE (Soccer Ball Machine-Attached Molding) and OMB (Operational Mosaic) Folding and Hand-Assembly (OMB) Both processes require the use of molds and ball pieces, which are then processed into footballs.

[0003] In the TSBE football machine mold-mounting process, to avoid interference when the ball is ejected from the mold, the positioning ribs are no more than 1mm high. However, the position of the pieces cannot be fixed, and manual placement of the pieces is inevitably subject to error. This can cause slippage and misalignment, resulting in undesirable problems such as squeezed overlaps or gaps between the pieces. Furthermore, in the OMB folded-edge hand-assembly process, the pieces are manually assembled directly on the outside of the bladder, glued together with edge glue, and then pre-fixed with masking tape to prevent loosening. This process is inefficient. Therefore, the present invention proposes a magnetic assembly-type football mold and its use method. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a magnetic splicing football mold and a method of using the same, which solves the problems of error in ball piece placement and low efficiency in manually splicing ball pieces.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a magnetic splicing football mold, comprising six polymer shells and two hemispherical molds, wherein the inner sides of the polymer shells are provided with an anti-deflection mechanism, and the outer sides of the polymer shells are provided with a splicing mechanism, and the inner sides of the six polymer shells are each provided with a ball piece, and the six polymer shells are each disposed between the inner sides of the two hemispherical molds;

[0006] The splicing mechanism includes a honeycomb structure, a plurality of grooves are opened on the inner edge of the honeycomb structure, magnets are installed inside the grooves, and a plurality of color marking plates are fixedly connected to the outer edge of the honeycomb structure.

[0007] Preferably, the anti-deflection mechanism includes a ball positioning rib and a polymer nano-markless adhesive, the ball positioning rib is fixedly connected to the inner edge of the polymer shell, and the polymer nano-markless adhesive and the polymer shell are detachably connected.

[0008] Preferably, two adjacent splicing mechanisms are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0009] Preferably, the color marking plate is located between two adjacent magnets.

[0010] Preferably, the edges of the six polymer shells are engaged with each other, and the edges of the six spherical pieces are fitted with each other.

[0011] Preferably, the ball piece and the high molecular nano-traceless adhesive are detachably connected, and the ball piece and the ball piece positioning ribs are engaged with each other.

[0012] Preferably, a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of one side adjacent to the two hemispherical molds, and the two sealing rings are detachably connected.

[0013] Preferably, the honeycomb structure is fixedly connected to the outside of the polymer shell.

[0014] Preferably, the polymer shell is made of synthetic resin.

[0015] A method for using a magnetic splicing football mold, the specific method of use is as follows:

[0016] Step 1: Use an automated placement machine to place different pieces of a soccer ball onto a corresponding polymer shell, while ensuring that the edges of the pieces align with the inner sides of the positioning ribs. Use polymer nano-traceless adhesive to glue the pieces to the inner sides of the corresponding polymer shells. Repeat this process six times until the six pieces that make up the soccer ball are glued to the corresponding polymer shells. Finally, a conveyor transports the six polymer shells to the assembly area.

[0017] Step 2: The splicing worker observes the colors applied on the three color plates on the outside of the polymer shell. Since there are three color plates of different colors on a polymer shell, and there are two color plates of each color on a set of molds and they are distributed on two different polymer shells, the worker only needs to observe the color of the color plates and fit the six polymer shells together to form a complete ball mold. Magnets of the same color attract each other, and the colors and opposite poles attract each other, which can help the worker quickly and accurately splice the corresponding polymer shells, ensuring the accuracy of the pattern formed by the six ball pieces after splicing.

[0018] Step 3: Place the complete ball mold consisting of six magnetic polymer shells inside the two hemispherical molds, and use an automated pressing machine to lock the two hemispherical molds together. A seal is formed between the two sealing rings, so that the assembled ball mold contacts the inner sides of the two hemispherical molds. Then, the interior of the hemispherical molds is inflated and pressurized to preheat and shape.

[0019] Step 4: After shaping, the air pressure is eliminated and the mold is opened automatically. The complete ball mold consisting of six polymer shells is manually taken out from the inside of the hemispherical mold after the mold is opened. The entire ball is still at the preheated temperature. At this time, the adhesion of the polymer nano-traceless glue between the inside of the polymer shell and the outside of the ball piece will be weakened, and the six ball pieces are accurately spliced ​​together with the cooperation of heat setting treatment and anti-deflection mechanism. Workers can complete the ball splicing process by peeling off the outer polymer shells one by one to obtain the finished ball.

[0020] The present invention provides a magnetic splicing football mold and its use method.

[0021] Beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. The present invention makes it more convenient and faster to splice the ball pieces together through the splicing mechanism and the polymer shell. At the same time, it can avoid the situation where the patterns of different ball pieces are not compatible when splicing the ball pieces, thereby improving the splicing efficiency of the football mold.

[0023] 2. The present invention uses the anti-deflection mechanism, polymer shell and hemispherical mold to accurately position the ball pieces on the mold during splicing, ensure the stability between the ball pieces during heating and shaping, and easily disassemble the mold to remove the formed football.

[0032] The following will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the present specification. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Example:

[0034] Please see the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 7 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a magnetic splicing football mold, comprising six polymer shells 1 and two hemispherical molds 5, the six polymer shells 1 can be spliced ​​and combined into a complete ball mold, and then six ball pieces 4 can be conveniently formed into a complete football shape, an anti-deflection mechanism 3 is provided on the inside of the polymer shell 1, and the anti-deflection mechanism 3 can prevent the individual ball pieces 4 from deviating or sliding during the heating and shaping process, thereby ensuring that the produced football meets the standards, a splicing mechanism 2 is provided on the outside of the polymer shell 1, and the splicing mechanism 2 can quickly splice and combine the individual ball pieces together, and ensure that the football pattern formed by the six ball pieces 4 can remain accurate, the six polymer shells 1 are all provided with ball pieces 4 on the inside, and the six polymer shells 1 are all arranged between the insides of the two hemispherical molds 5, and the two hemispherical molds 5 are preheated and shaped by closing the mold, so that the ball pieces 4 on the inside of the polymer shell 1 can be connected and fixed to each other to form a football;

[0035] The splicing mechanism 2 includes a honeycomb structure 201. The structure of the honeycomb structure 201 can ensure the structural stability of the polymer shell 1 when it is heated and shaped, thereby improving the service life of the mold. A plurality of grooves 202 are provided on the inner edge of the honeycomb structure 201. Magnets 203 are installed inside the grooves 202. The magnets 203 and the grooves 202 are engaged with each other and can be easily replaced when the magnetism of the magnets 203 weakens. A plurality of color plates 204 are fixedly connected to the outer edge of the honeycomb structure 201. By matching multiple sets of colors, workers can easily determine the splicing positions between the polymer shells 1, ensuring that the ball pieces 4 attached to the inner side of the polymer shell 1 can form a complete pattern, making the ball pieces 4 faster and more accurate when splicing, thereby improving the efficiency of football production.

[0036] The anti-deflection mechanism 3 includes a ball piece positioning rib 301 and a polymer nano-traceless glue 302. The ball piece positioning rib 301 is fixedly connected to the inner edge of the polymer shell 1, and the polymer nano-traceless glue 302 and the polymer shell 1 are detachably connected. The ball piece 4 is fit and limited by the inner ball piece positioning rib 301, and the ball piece 4 and the polymer shell 1 are fit and fixed by the polymer nano-traceless glue 302 to ensure that the ball piece 4 will not slip during splicing and pasting. At the same time, the ball piece 4 is positioned by the ball piece positioning rib 301 to ensure the accuracy of splicing, avoiding deviation and causing undesirable conditions such as extrusion of overlaps or gaps between the ball pieces 4.

[0037] The magnetic attraction between two adjacent splicing mechanisms 2 enables the six polymer shells 1 to be spliced ​​together to form a spherical mold under the action of the magnet 203, and the precise alignment of the patterns on the spherical pieces 4 is achieved by the repulsion of like poles and attraction of opposite poles.

[0038] The color marking plate 204 is located between two adjacent magnets 203. There are three color marking plates 204 of different colors on a polymer shell 1. At the same time, there are two color marking plates 204 of each color on a set of molds and they are distributed on two different polymer shells 1. In this way, workers only need to look at the color of the color marking plate 204 to fit the six polymer shells 1 together with magnetic attraction to form a complete spherical mold. Magnets 203 of the same color attract opposite poles. By using the method of color and opposite poles attracting each other, workers can quickly and accurately assemble the corresponding polymer shells 1.

[0039] The edges of the six polymer shells 1 are locked together, and the edges of the six ball pieces 4 are fitted together, so that after the six polymer shells 1 form a ball mold, the six ball pieces 4 can be synchronously formed into the shape of a football. After preheating and shaping, the six ball pieces 4 are spliced ​​together to form a football.

[0040] The ball piece 4 and the high molecular nano-traceless adhesive 302 are detachably connected. The high molecular nano-traceless adhesive 302 has the characteristics of reducing the performance of high-temperature adhesion and being washable and repeatedly used, and leaving no trace when detached from the ball piece, thereby ensuring that the ball mold can be used multiple times without affecting the inner side of the ball mold. The ball piece 4 and the ball piece positioning rib 301 are engaged with each other. Through the cooperation of the ball piece positioning rib 301 and the high molecular nano-traceless adhesive 302, the ball piece 4 and the high molecular shell 1 will not be biased or slipped after being glued and fixed. At the same time, during preheating and shaping, the thermal expansion and contraction and the cooperation of the anti-deviation mechanism 3 can be used to ensure that the football spliced ​​together by the six ball pieces 4 will not have undesirable conditions such as squeezed overlaps or gaps.

[0041] A sealing ring 6 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the adjacent side between the two hemispherical molds 5. The two sealing rings 6 are detachably connected. The two hemispherical molds 5 are installed on a pressing machine, which helps the two hemispherical molds 5 to be quickly and conveniently closed.

[0042] The honeycomb structure 201 is fixedly connected to the outside of the polymer shell 1 , and the honeycomb structure 201 further improves the strength of the polymer shell 1 and reduces the probability of deformation of the polymer shell 1 caused by repeated use and heat.

[0043] The polymer shell 1 is made of synthetic resin, which makes the ball mold have high strength and good heat resistance, reducing the probability of deformation of the polymer shell 1 due to repeated use.

[0044] A method for using a magnetic splicing football mold, the specific method of use is as follows:

[0045] Step 1: Use an automated placement machine to place a soccer ball piece 4 with different patterns on a corresponding polymer shell 1, while ensuring that the edge of the piece 4 fits in contact with the inner side of the piece positioning rib 301. Use polymer nano-traceless adhesive 302 to adhere the piece 4 to the inner side of the corresponding polymer shell 1. Repeat this operation six times until the six pieces 4 that make up the soccer ball are adhered to the corresponding polymer shells 1. Finally, a conveyor conveys the group of six polymer shells 1 to the splicing area.

[0046] Step 2: The splicing worker observes the colors applied on the three color plates 204 on the outside of the polymer shell 1. Since there are three color plates 204 of different colors on one polymer shell 1, and there are two color plates 204 of each color on a set of molds and they are distributed on two different polymer shells 1, the worker only needs to observe the color of the color plates 204 to fit the six polymer shells 1 together with magnetic attraction to form a complete ball mold. The magnets 203 of the same color are oppositely charged. By virtue of the mutual attraction between colors and opposite poles, the worker can quickly and accurately splice the corresponding polymer shells 1, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the pattern formed by the six ball pieces 4 after splicing;

[0047] Step 3: Place the complete ball mold consisting of six polymer shells 1 magnetically attracted inside the two hemispherical molds 5, and use an automated pressing machine to lock the two hemispherical molds 5 together. A seal is formed between the two sealing rings 6, so that the assembled ball mold contacts the inner sides of the two hemispherical molds 5. Then, inflate and pressurize the interior of the hemispherical molds 5 to preheat and shape them.

[0048] Step 4: After shaping, the air pressure is eliminated and the mold is opened automatically. The complete ball mold consisting of six polymer shells 1 is manually taken out from the inside of the hemispherical mold 5 after the mold is opened. The entire ball taken out of the mold still has the preheated temperature. At this time, the adhesion of the polymer nano-traceless glue 302 between the inside of the polymer shell 1 and the outside of the ball piece 4 will be weakened, and the six ball pieces 4 are accurately spliced ​​together with the cooperation of the heat setting treatment and the anti-deflection mechanism 3. The worker can complete the ball splicing process by peeling off the outer polymer shells 1 one by one to obtain the finished ball.

[0049] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
