Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile covering molds, in particular to a covering mold with a hot air compensation structure. Background Art

[0002] Overmolding technology combines two or more materials into one part. The technology usually involves molding a softer material onto a harder base. The overmolding process combines two or more different materials into a single bonded product. The core of this technology is to mold secondary materials onto existing parts. This method is popular when adding soft-touch surfaces to hard plastic or metal parts, especially in automotive interior and exterior decoration, to enhance its functionality and user experience. The overmolding molds for automotive covering parts mostly use secondary injection molding. In order to improve the tightness of the adhesion between different materials, hot air is also used to increase the surface temperature of the substrate during secondary injection molding to enhance the bonding strength and improve the quality of the molded product.
