Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automotive airbag, in particular to a cover wrapping and closing positioning device. Background Art
[0002] For the cover leather wrapping of an existing driver airbag module, in the closing area where the leather bends from the outer surface of the cover to the inner surface of the cover, since the adhesive glue used is an environment-friendly water-based glue, after applying glue on the cover body and the leather in the closing area and drying it, the glue is activated through a certain temperature, and the leather is firmly pasted on the inner surface of the cover in the closing area by applying pressure. The operation is carried out by means of manual hot air activation and clamping with a bent-nose pliers. When the activation temperature and time are too short, the glue in some areas fails to be activated, resulting in the leather not being firmly pasted on the inner surface of the cover and warping. When the activation temperature and time are too long, the surface of the leather is damaged and discolored, and the closing area of the cover body is deformed into unevenness, affecting the overall appearance. At the same time, there is still partial glue that is not fully activated, resulting in the closing leather not being firmly pasted and warping, not meeting the requirements.
[0003] There are two existing closing and pasting positioning methods: Method 1: After positioning the cover leather, directly use a hot air gun to move and blow the inner surface of the leather in the closing area by hand to activate the glue, and then use a bent-nose pliers to clamp and press on both surfaces of the leather to paste and position the leather. After verification: The time of hot air activation and the hot air distance are unstable, and the clamping area is not fully covered, resulting in incomplete activation of the glue, partial leather not being firmly pasted, and the closing part warping, and the closing leather cannot be completely pasted and positioned. Method 2: Directly use tooling to fix the cover and the closing leather respectively, heat the cover and the leather, and use a vacuum adsorption tooling to adsorb the closing leather on the inner surface of the cover and paste it. After verification, there are obvious large wrinkles and local warping on the surface of the leather after pasting, and obvious vacuum adsorption marks appear locally, affecting the overall appearance and unable to achieve pasting and positioning.
[0004] Therefore, through beneficial exploration and research, the applicant has found a method to solve the above problems, and the technical solution to be introduced below is generated under this background. Content of the Utility Model
