The base fabric layer is bonded to the end face of the blanket backing via the adhesive layer, and the edge banding wraps around the perimeter of the blanket backing. However, the production process of traditional tufted mattresses usually requires steps such as crushing and removing impurities from composite chemical raw materials, followed by coarse spinning, fine spinning, dyeing, twisting, winding, yarn loading, weaving, laminating, edge trimming, edge banding, and brushing.

Detailed Implementation
[0055] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this invention, the following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a mat, its preparation method, production apparatus, and applications.
[0056] Example 1
[0057] Please see Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for preparing a mat, including the following steps:
[0058] S1. Mold Shaping: Molten chemical raw materials are injected into a molding mold. After leveling and allowing to settle, the product blank is demolded to obtain a sheet-like product blank. The chemical raw materials are any one or more combinations of polyamide, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polybutylene terephthalate. Preferably, polyamide, i.e., nylon, is used as the chemical raw material. Compared to the composite materials used in traditional manufacturing processes, this significantly reduces production costs, and mats made of nylon have excellent durability and softness. The specific steps include the following:
[0059] S11. Heating and Melting: Any one or more of the following raw materials—polyamide, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polybutylene terephthalate—are placed in an injection molding apparatus and heated and melted to obtain a viscous flow material; wherein the heating temperature of the injection molding apparatus is 200℃~300℃. Preferably, the heating temperature of the injection molding apparatus is 220℃.
[0060] S12. Mold Assembly: The upper mold base is fastened onto the lower mold base, forming an injection cavity between them. The injection cavity has side wing spaces for forming side wings on both sides of the sheet-like product blank, so that the semi-cured product blank after injection molding can be fixed by clamping components during the wire drawing step.
[0061] S13. Defoaming molding: After injecting the viscous fluid material prepared in step S11 into the injection cavity formed in step S12, the air bubbles in the viscous fluid material are removed by vibration or vacuum. After standing for one minute, the sheet product blank is demolded.
[0062] It should be noted that in step S13, air bubbles are removed from the viscous raw material using vibration or vacuum. Vibration removes air bubbles by using a common cam mechanism to vibrate the platform or container. The viscous raw material sinks under gravity, while the air, with its lower density, floats, thus removing the air bubbles. Vacuum removes air bubbles by using a vacuum pump to evacuate the air from the sealed space, creating a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the viscous raw material. Air flows from high pressure to low pressure, thus removing the air. Furthermore, removing air bubbles from the viscous raw material effectively prevents filament breakage during subsequent fiber drawing, which would affect the product structure and quality.
[0063] S2. Secondary Heating: The product blank prepared in step S1 is placed in a blowing system, and the surface of the product blank is heated while the bottom surface is cooled, forming a semi-solidified product blank with a semi-molten surface. This includes the following sub-steps:
[0064] S21. Cooling and molding: The product blank prepared in step S1 is placed in the blowing system, and cold air is blown onto the bottom surface of the sheet product blank by the cold air blower to cool and mold the sheet product blank.
[0065] It should be noted that before blowing hot air onto the surface of the sheet product blank in step S22, the cold air blower continuously blows cold air onto the bottom of the product blank to cool and solidify the bottom of the product blank.
[0066] S22. Melting the Surface: The surface of the sheet-like product blank prepared in step S21 is heated and melted a second time by blowing hot air onto the surface of the sheet-like product blank using a hot air blower, while cold air is blown onto the bottom surface of the sheet-like product blank using a cold air blower, resulting in a semi-cured product blank with a semi-molten surface and a solid bottom; wherein the heating temperature of the hot air blower is 120℃~180℃. As a preferred embodiment, the heating temperature of the hot air blower is 150℃. In addition, while blowing hot air onto the surface of the sheet-like product blank prepared in step S21, cold air is blown onto the bottom surface of the sheet-like product blank using a cold air blower, so that the bottom surface of the sheet-like product blank can maintain its original shape and is not affected by the melting and deformation of the hot air.
[0067] S3. Wire Drawing and Shaping: Place the semi-cured product blank prepared in step S2 onto the clamping assembly, and then use a wire drawing device to draw the surface of the semi-cured product blank into wires to obtain a pad with a filamentous structure on the surface. Specifically, this includes the following sub-steps:
[0068] S31. Lifting the blank: Take the semi-cured product blank prepared in step S2, fix it with the clamping assembly and place it below the wire drawing device, and lift the semi-cured product blank upward using the lifting device.
[0069] S32, Fiber Forming: The suction head of the fiber forming device picks up the semi-molten chemical raw material from the surface of the semi-cured product blank raised in step S31, and uses a lifting device to move and stretch the semi-cured product blank downwards, causing the semi-molten chemical raw material to be stretched away from the surface of the semi-cured product blank to form a filamentous structure. To prevent the semi-cured product blank from shifting during the fiber forming process and affecting the fiber forming effect, it is fixed by a clamping assembly.
[0070] First, the semi-cured product blank prepared in step S2 is placed on the transmission mechanism, allowing it to move stepwise with the mechanism. When the semi-cured product blank moves below the drawing device, a lifting device lifts it towards the drawing device. The drawing device then begins operation, sucking up the semi-molten chemical material from the surface of the semi-cured product blank through a suction head. The lifting device then descends to its original height, pulling the semi-cured product blank downwards. This stretches the semi-molten chemical material away from the surface of the semi-cured product blank, forming a filamentous structure. The surface temperature of the filamentous structure dissipates into the air, rapidly cooling and solidifying. Next, the transmission mechanism continues to move the semi-cured product blank forward stepwise. Each time it moves, the lifting device repeats the lifting or lowering operation, while the drawing device repeats the operation of sucking up the semi-molten chemical material from the surface of the semi-cured product blank, until rows of filamentous structures are formed on the surface of the semi-cured product.
[0071] S4. Surface flattening: Place the mat prepared in step S3 into the flattening device, and cut off the ends of the filamentous structure on the surface of the mat with the cutting head of the flattening device to obtain a mat with a flat surface.
[0072] S5. Edge trimming: Place the mat prepared in step S4 into the trimming device, and use the trimming shears of the trimming device to cut off the edge material around the mat, resulting in a flat and aesthetically pleasing mat. The cut-off ends and scraps can be recycled, greatly improving resource utilization and reducing production costs.
[0073] In summary, this manufacturing process eliminates the need for numerous complex steps in mat production, significantly reducing production time, increasing efficiency, and lowering costs. Furthermore, since dyeing and crushing processes are unnecessary, it avoids water and air pollution. This effectively solves the problems of complex traditional mat manufacturing processes, which are prone to water pollution, high costs, long production times, and resource waste. Moreover, the use of nylon as the primary raw material, compared to the composite materials used in traditional processes, greatly reduces production costs, and nylon mats offer excellent durability and softness. Additionally, the mold-forming step, by removing air bubbles from the viscous raw material, effectively prevents filament breakage during subsequent drawing, thus maintaining product structure and quality. Finally, the trimming of the mat's surface filaments and scraps allows for recycling, significantly improving resource utilization and reducing production costs.
[0074] Example 2
[0075] Please see Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for manufacturing a mat, which differs from Embodiment 1 only in that step S3 includes the following sub-steps.
[0076] S3-1, Raw material intake: Take the semi-cured product blank prepared in step S2, fix it with the clamping assembly and place it under the wire drawing device, move the wire drawing device downward toward the semi-cured product blank, and take the semi-molten chemical raw material on the surface of the semi-cured product blank through the suction head of the wire drawing device.
[0077] S3-2, Wire drawing: After taking the semi-molten chemical raw material obtained in step S32-1, the wire drawing device is moved upward to stretch the semi-molten chemical raw material to the side away from the surface of the semi-cured product blank, forming a filament structure.
[0078] First, the semi-cured product blank prepared in step S2 is placed on the transmission mechanism, allowing it to move stepwise with the mechanism. When the semi-cured product blank reaches below the drawing device, the drawing device begins operation, moving stepwise downwards towards the semi-cured product blank and then stepwise upwards through the suction head to draw the semi-molten chemical material from the surface of the semi-cured product blank. This stretches the semi-molten chemical material away from the surface of the semi-cured product blank, forming a filamentous structure. The surface temperature of the filamentous structure dissipates into the air, causing it to cool and solidify rapidly. Next, the transmission mechanism continues to move the semi-cured product blank forward, and with each movement, the drawing device repeats the operation of drawing the semi-molten chemical material from the surface of the semi-cured product blank until rows of filamentous structures are formed on the surface of the semi-cured product.
