[0002] Automobile interior parts are parts with certain decorative properties inside the automobile. Since the automobile interior design needs to consider certain aesthetics, some fabrics need to be laminated on the surface of the interior parts to make them have better functions or effects. The existing laminating devices usually adopt the method of rolling lamination. For example, the patent with the publication number CN113172982B discloses a fabric composite laminating mechanism. The upper positioning roller and the lower positioning roller are linked by a connecting rod mechanism in an overall quadrilateral shape, and an action mechanism is arranged between the upper positioning roller and the lower positioning roller to pull the base fabric to laminate the fabric to be laminated and drive the connecting rod mechanism when passing through the raised part on the surface of the fabric to be laminated, so that the upper positioning roller and the lower positioning roller approach and laminate at the raised part. However, the existing laminating devices usually directly laminate the fabric. Since the fabric is usually stored in a wound state, the fabric is prone to curling during the output process. Especially for fabrics with a certain elasticity, if they are laminated without being unfolded, it is easy to cause quality problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0022] The following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of illustrating and explaining the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0023] As Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, a fabric laminating device for automotive interior parts in this embodiment includes a fabric conveying device 1, a transmission device 2, a pressing device 3, and a cutting device 4. The fabric conveying device 1 is used to output the fabric. The transmission device 2 can transfer the fabric and move it in the direction of the cutting device 4. The fabric can be laminated on the interior part 10 through the pressing device 3. The transmission device 2 includes a roller 5 and guide wheels 6. Two guide wheels 6 are inclinedly arranged on both sides of the roller 5. The roller 5 forms a first section 61 and a second section 62 between the guide wheels 6. The length of the second section 62 is greater than that of the first section 61. The roller 5 includes a mounting groove 51 and an elastic strip 52. The mounting groove 51 is located on the surface of the roller 5 and extends along the axial direction of the roller 5. A number of mounting grooves 51 are arranged at intervals. A number of sliders 53 are provided in the mounting groove 51. The sliders 53 are slidably arranged in the mounting groove 51. The elastic strip 52 includes a top 521 and a clamping portion 522. The clamping portion 522 is connected to the slider 53. The top 521 protrudes from the surface of the roller 5. The top 521 has a shrinkage groove 523, and the inner diameter of the shrinkage groove 523 is smaller than the width of the top 521. In the above technical solution, the fabric 20 is output to the transmission device 2 and is conveyed downstream through the roller 5. Since the roller 5 is provided with guide wheels 6, when the roller 5 rotates, it drives the fabric to move from the first section 61 to the second section 62, and the width of the fabric expands. Since the elastic strip 52 has elasticity, when the roller 5 rolls, it can expand or contract axially through the movement of the slider 53. Thus, the fabric attached to the elastic strip 52 can be pulled apart to make it flatter. Through the above technical solution, the fabric can be smoothly unfolded during conveying, which is convenient for subsequent materials to be attached to the interior parts.

[0024] In this embodiment, the slider 53 is provided with a clamping groove 531. On both sides of the clamping portion 522, there are convex blocks 524 which are clamped with the clamping groove 531, facilitating assembly. The elastic strip 52 in this embodiment is made of rubber. A clamping device 7 is provided downstream of the transmission device 2. The clamping device 7 clamps the fabric. The clamping device 7 and the material taking device 8 are arranged oppositely. The clamping device 7 is used to clamp the fabric and can adopt a robotic arm, capable of clamping or releasing the fabric. When fabric fitting is required, one end of the fabric is clamped by the material taking device 8, and the material taking device moves to pull out a certain length of the fabric, and then the fabric is cut off by the cutting device 4; the fabric is sucked by the suction cup 31 on the pressing device 3, and the pressing device moves downward to attach the fabric to the interior trim part. The material taking device 8 can adopt a pneumatic cylinder jaw. The cutting device 4 is arranged on one side of the clamping device 7 so that the fabric can be cut off by the cutter of the cutting device 4. A processing table 9 is provided below the clamping device 7, and the pressing device 3 is arranged above the processing table 9. The interior trim part is arranged on the processing table 9, facilitating the downward pressing and fitting of the pressing device 3. A rolling device 30 is provided on one side of the processing table 9. Through the rolling device 30, the fabric attached to the interior trim part can be rolled to make it more firm. The rolling device 30 can be driven by a pneumatic cylinder to move horizontally and roll by a strip-shaped rolling wheel. The material taking device 8 moves horizontally along the horizontal direction by a pneumatic cylinder 81, thereby driving the driving device 8 to move horizontally. The pressing device 3 is driven by a lifting pneumatic cylinder 31, and the pressing device 3 moves up and down relative to the processing table 9, so that the pressing device 3 can move up and down.

[0025] A fabric fitting device for an automotive interior trim part in this embodiment can enable the fabric to be smoothly unfolded during conveying, facilitating the subsequent attachment of the fabric to the interior trim part.

[0026] The above has described a fabric fitting device for an automotive interior trim part of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above specific embodiments. As long as it does not deviate from the scope of the claims, various deformations or changes can be made. The present utility model includes various deformations and changes within the scope of the claims.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, rather than to limit it; although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model.
