Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile seats, in particular to a matching structure of an EPP and a foaming mould for a rear large seat cushion. Background Art
[0002] At present, the most common anti-overflow structure is: EPP is directly matched with the mold, and EPP is embedded in the foaming mold cavity for integrated foaming by chemical pouring. This method can easily cause the foam to flow into the groove of EPP during the integrated foaming process of the foam mold, blocking the EPP assembly hole and causing quality defects. The assembly hole can only be cleaned manually, which has high strength and labor costs. The existing patent CN202221938167.9 "A spill-proof rear seat combination structure" improves this problem, but the changes mainly involve the EPP structure and the mold structure, and the scope and amount of changes are large. In addition, due to the large amount of shrinkage and deformation of EPP, if the EPP assembly hole is small, the protruding position of the mold will be difficult to match. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the utility model aims to provide a structure for cooperating between EPP and a foaming mold for a large rear seat cushion to prevent a layer of foam from penetrating the surface of the EPP or the foam raw material from flowing into the EPP assembly groove to block the assembly hole.
[0004] The utility model proposes a matching structure of an EPP and a foaming mold for a large rear seat cushion, comprising an EPP and a foaming mold body, wherein the foaming mold body comprises an upper mold and a lower mold, the EPP is mounted on the upper mold and is used for integral foaming and molding with the large rear seat cushion, a plurality of assembly holes for fixing a face cover are circumferentially arranged near the edge of the EPP, a circle of grooves is arranged around the edge of the EPP, a circle of material stop ribs is arranged on the inner cavity surface of the upper mold corresponding to the grooves, the height of the material stop ribs is 3 to 4 mm, and the thickness is 3 to 4 mm, the material stop ribs are embedded in the grooves, and the two cooperate to form a seal, a plurality of foaming holes are arranged on the EPP away from the edge, and the foaming holes are used for embedding foam of the large rear seat cushion during foaming.
[0005] In the above scheme: a plurality of positioning columns are convexly provided on the inner cavity surface of the upper mold, and positioning holes are provided on the EPP corresponding to each positioning column. The EPP is fixed on the positioning columns through the positioning holes. The positioning columns play the role of installation and positioning to prevent the EPP from being subjected to impact force and changing its position during injection, that is, to prevent the EPP from moving forward, backward, left and right.
[0006] In the above scheme: there are four positioning posts, and the four positioning posts are arranged at intervals in a trapezoidal shape to ensure the installation positioning effect of the positioning posts.
[0007] In the above scheme: the height of the material blocking rib is 3mm, the thickness is 3mm, the operation is convenient, and the modification amount is small.
[0008] In the above scheme: there are five foaming holes, and the five foaming holes are arranged at intervals in an isosceles trapezoidal shape.
[0009] In the above scheme: a plurality of anti-dropping columns for passing through and clamping the EPP are arranged on the inner cavity surface of the upper mold to prevent the EPP from falling from the upper mold.
[0010] The beneficial effects of the utility model are: 1. A circle of grooves are arranged on the edge of the EPP, and a material stop rib is arranged on the inner cavity surface of the upper mold corresponding to the groove, so that the material stop rib is embedded in the groove to form a sealed joint, so as to block the foam raw material from flowing into the outer surface of the EPP, thereby avoiding a layer of foam penetrating the outer surface of the EPP or the foam raw material flowing into the EPP assembly groove to block the assembly hole; 2. A plurality of foaming holes are arranged on the EPP, and the rear large seat cushion is embedded in the foaming holes during foaming, thereby increasing the contact area, which is beneficial to ensure the firmness of the integrated foaming molding of the EPP and the rear large seat cushion; 3. The overall modification is small, the structure is simple, the cost is low, and the operation is convenient. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
