Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile interior trim processing equipment, in particular to an automobile pillar skin feeding device. Background Art
[0002] Pillars refer to vertical or near-vertical support structures on a car's body, including the A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar. Pillar skins are decorative exterior coverings of vehicle pillars, typically used to enhance the vehicle's aesthetics and protect the vehicle's structure. The skin is a thin shell covering these pillars, typically made of plastic, leather, or a composite material. Pillar skins enhance the vehicle's exterior, making it appear more streamlined and modern. They also protect internal structural components from damage such as corrosion and scratches, help improve the vehicle's sealing performance, and reduce noise and wind resistance.
[0003] Most pillar skins are made from sheet metal through a stamping process. This process allows for precise control of part size and shape, making it suitable for mass production. Rolls of sheet metal are stamped and cut to fit the pillar's sheet metal section, and then installed through stitching and bonding.
[0004] Currently, the stamping process typically relies on manual loading, where the skin raw materials are laid flat into the stamping equipment. After stamping and cutting, the remaining material needs to be collected again. This results in low levels of mechanization and automation, which restricts overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the utility model aims to propose a vehicle pillar skin feeding device to improve the mechanization and automation of the feeding process during the stamping production of the vehicle pillar skin and enhance the overall production efficiency.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is achieved as follows:
[0007] An automobile pillar skin feeding device includes a feeding roller that can rotate along its own axis;
[0008] A tensioning assembly is provided on one side of the feed roller;
[0009] An operating table, arranged on one side of the tensioning assembly;
[0010] The winding roller is arranged on a side of the operating platform away from the tensioning assembly.
[0011] Furthermore, the feed roller includes a support frame vertically arranged on a horizontal plane;
[0012] A rotating shaft, rotatably disposed on the support frame;
[0013] The limiting plate is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft.
[0014] Furthermore, the feed roller also includes a locking member, which is rotatably arranged on the support frame to form a limit on the vertical direction of the rotating shaft.
[0015] Furthermore, the tensioning assembly includes a gate beam arranged on one side of the feed roller in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane;
[0016] A tensioning roller is slidably arranged on the gate beam in a vertical direction;
[0017] A connecting rod, both ends of which are respectively sleeved on the two ends of the tensioning roller;
[0018] The telescopic member is arranged on the top of the gate beam along a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the telescopic end is connected to the connecting rod.
[0019] Furthermore, the telescopic members are arranged to be multiple and evenly distributed along the length direction of the connecting rod.
[0020] Furthermore, the operating table includes a table top;
[0021] The guide roller is rotatably arranged on one end of the table surface close to the tensioning assembly.
[0022] Furthermore, the edges of the table are rounded.
[0023] Furthermore, the winding roller is detachably arranged on a side of the operating table away from the tensioning assembly.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0025] The utility model provides a device for feeding automobile pillar skins, which can support and feed rolled skin raw materials by providing a feed roller that can rotate around its own axis. A tensioning assembly is provided on one side of the feed roller, which tensions the skin raw materials conveyed by the feed roller. The operating table supports the stamping and cutting operations of the skin raw materials. The winding roller installed on the operating table can wind up the remaining materials on the operating table for the convenience of the next stamping and cutting process, thereby improving the degree of automation and mechanization of the automobile pillar skin feeding process, thereby achieving the invention purpose of improving overall production efficiency.
[0026] Secondly, by providing a support frame with a circular groove, the rotating shaft can be limited, allowing the rotating shaft to rotate around its own axis on the support frame to achieve material feeding. The rotating shaft can be inserted into the rolled skin material, and the two limiting plates on the rotating shaft limit the skin material, which helps to prevent the skin material from deviating during the feeding process.
[0027] By setting a locking piece on the feed roller, the position of the rotating shaft in the height direction can be limited, so that the rotating shaft will not move along the height direction when rotating, thereby improving the stability of the rotating shaft during rotation and the stability during the loading of the skin raw materials.
[0028] In addition, by setting the tensioning assembly as a structure of a portal beam, a tensioning roller, a connecting rod and a telescopic part, the portal beam supports and limits the other parts of the structure, and the telescopic part can drive the connecting rod to move so that the tensioning roller and the portal beam slide relative to each other in the vertical direction, thereby achieving tensioning of the skin material.
[0029] By increasing the number of telescopic parts and distributing them evenly along the length of the connecting rod, the number of action points and the force-bearing area between the telescopic parts and the connecting rod can be increased, thereby improving the stability of the connecting rod during the telescopic and lifting movement of the telescopic parts.
[0030] In addition, by setting up the operating table into a structure of a table top and guide rollers, the table top provides a working plane for the stamping and cutting operations of the skin raw materials. The guide rollers installed on the table top near the tensioning component side guide the skin raw materials and can guide the skin raw materials that have been tensioned at the tensioning component to the table top for easy processing.
[0031] By rounding the edges of the table top, the damage caused by friction between the skin raw materials and the table top edge can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the quality of the finished skin product.
[0032] By installing the reel roller on the operating table in a detachable manner, the staff can quickly collect the remaining materials by directly disassembling the reel roller as a whole and replacing it with a new roller, which is conducive to further improving the overall production efficiency.
