Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of zippers, in particular to a reinforced zipper with calendering sealing. Background Art

[0002] A zipper is a connecting piece that relies on continuously arranged chain teeth to join or separate items, and is now widely used in clothing, bags, tents, etc. A zipper consists of chain teeth, a slider, upper and lower stops (front and rear codes) or locking parts, etc. Among them, the chain teeth are the key part, which directly determines the side pull strength of the zipper. Generally, a zipper has two tape strips, each with a row of chain teeth, and the two rows of chain teeth are arranged staggered with each other. The slider clamps the chain teeth on both sides and slides along the pull tab, enabling the chain teeth on both sides to mesh or disengage from each other.

[0003] The patent with the publication number of CN209403749U previously applied by the applicant discloses a sealed waterproof zipper, which includes a pair of zipper tooth chains at the opening of the zipper tape, a slider slidably installed on the zipper tooth chains, and stop members provided at both ends of the zipper tooth chains. Waterproof layers capable of two-way sealing are provided on both sides of each zipper tooth chain, and a sealing strip for covering the zipper tooth chain is provided on one side of each waterproof layer facing the other waterproof layer. In this way, a waterproof structure is formed on both the inner and outer sides of the zipper. Although the sealed waterproof performance of the zipper is improved, the overall thickness of the zipper will increase, especially a certain thickness of protrusion is formed on the inner side of the zipper, which is not conducive to installation and use in some occasions.

[0030] Embodiment 1:

[0031] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, this embodiment provides a calendered-sealed reinforced zipper, which includes a zipper tape 1 having an opening, a pair of zipper teeth chains 2 located at the opening of the zipper tape 1, a slider 3 slidably mounted on the zipper teeth chains 2, and stoppers provided at both ends of the zipper teeth chains 2. A waterproof sealing strip 4 is provided on the outer side of each zipper teeth chain 2, and a reinforcing sealing strip 5 is calendered on one side of each waterproof sealing strip 4 close to the other waterproof sealing strip 4. The two reinforcing sealing strips 5 extend towards each other and are in interference contact to form a seal. By calendering the reinforcing sealing strip 5 on the waterproof sealing strip 4, a high-performance single-sided sealing structure can be formed on the zipper, and the waterproof requirement can be met even if no waterproof structure is provided inside the zipper, reducing the overall thickness of the zipper, especially avoiding excessive protrusion inside the zipper, which affects its flexibility, comfort, etc. For example, when it is used on close-fitting clothing, the zipper is lighter, easier to bend and more comfortable.

[0032] There are various structures for strengthening the sealing strip 5. In this embodiment, the following two are provided as preferred solutions, specifically as follows:

[0033] Structure One: As shown in Figure 4 , on one side of each of the reinforcing sealing strips 5 close to another reinforcing sealing strip 5 is a sealing side, and the sealing side includes an outer sealing lip 51 and an inner sealing lip 52. A V-shaped groove 53 is formed between the outer sealing lip 51 and the inner sealing lip 52. The structure formed by the V-shaped groove 53 provides a larger contact area, which helps to improve the tightness of the seal. At the same time, the mutual cooperation between the outer sealing lip 51 and the inner sealing lip 52 can effectively prevent the penetration of moisture and air.

[0034] On one side of each of the outer sealing lips 51 facing another outer sealing lip 51, a first sealing inclined surface 510 is provided. The side of the first sealing inclined surface 510 close to the zipper teeth chain 2 is inclined in a direction away from another outer sealing lip 51, and / or on one side of each of the inner sealing lips 52 facing another inner sealing lip 52, a second sealing inclined surface 520 is provided. The side of the second sealing inclined surface 520 close to the zipper teeth chain 2 is inclined in a direction away from another inner sealing lip 52. Through this setting, the design of the inclined surface enables the outer sealing lip 51 and the inner sealing lip 52 to better withstand external pressure, increasing the overall compressive resistance and durability of the sealing strip.

[0035] The inclination angles of the first sealing inclined surface 510 and the second sealing inclined surface 520 are 30° - 60°, and the preferred inclination angle is 40°.

[0036] Structure Two: As shown in Figure 5 , on one side of each of the reinforcing sealing strips 5 close to another reinforcing sealing strip 5 is a sealing side, and the sealing side includes an upper sealing lip 54 and a lower sealing lip 55. The cross-sections of both the upper sealing lip 54 and the lower sealing lip 55 are J-shaped. The arc portions of the two J-shaped upper sealing lips 54 abut against each other to form a seal, and the arc portions of the two J-shaped lower sealing lips 55 abut against each other to form a seal, having good flexibility and adaptability. When the zipper is closed, the arc portions of the two J-shaped upper sealing lips 54 and the lower sealing lips 55 abut against each other, forming an effective sealing barrier to prevent the penetration of moisture and air. At the same time, the J-shaped design enables the sealing lips to better fit the contact surface when subjected to external forces, forming an adaptive seal, effectively reducing the gaps generated due to the movement or bending of the zipper and maintaining the sealing performance.

[0037] As shown in Figure 6 And Figure 7As shown, the zipper chain 2 includes a plurality of U-shaped teeth 21 and connecting parts 22 arranged between adjacent teeth 21. The teeth 21 include bent meshing parts 211 and plate parts 212 located on both sides of the bent meshing parts 211. The zipper tape 1 is located between the two plate parts 212. The connecting parts 22 are arranged between the plate parts 212 of adjacent teeth 21 and are integrally formed therewith, reducing the number of components, simplifying the manufacturing and assembly processes, reducing production costs, improving production efficiency, and at the same time enhancing the overall strength of the zipper chain 2 and prolonging the service life of the zipper.

[0038] A connecting channel is provided on the zipper chain 2. The connecting channel penetrates through the plate part 212 and the connecting part 22. A connecting rope 6 is arranged in the connecting channel to further enhance the overall strength of the zipper chain 2 and prevent individual teeth 21 from falling off.

[0039] A sewing groove 213 is provided on the plate part 212. The sewing groove 213 penetrates through the plate part 212 along the direction of the connecting part 22. When sewing the zipper chain 2 onto the zipper tape 1, the sewing thread just fits into the sewing groove 213, making the zipper chain 2 more firmly attached to the zipper tape 1 and not easily prone to the situation of individual teeth 21 being skewed or falling off.

[0040] Positioning bumps 214 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the plate part 212 corresponding to the sewing groove 213. After the zipper chain 2 is sewn onto the zipper tape 1, the positioning bumps 214 form a pressing force against the zipper tape 1, making the connection between the zipper chain 2 and the zipper tape 1 more firm and reliable.

[0041] For other structures, reference can be made to the patent with the publication number CN209403749U previously applied by the applicant, which discloses a sealed waterproof zipper.
