They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 4 A novel negative pressure molding and bonding device for bus roofs includes a molding and bonding fixture positioning unit 1 and a molding and bonding fixture sealing unit 2 that can be slidably fitted to the molding and bonding fixture positioning unit.
[0024] The molding and bonding tooling positioning unit includes a positioning frame 11, a contour mold 12 detachably mounted on the positioning frame, a sealing pressure edge 13 disposed around the top of the positioning frame, and a vent valve 14 disposed around the positioning frame.
[0025] The molding die is detachable, allowing for easy replacement with different models and making it suitable for various structures; the sealing edge is equipped with elastic sealing material.
[0026] The vent valve is connected to the air pipe of the vacuum equipment; the negative pressure molding and bonding fixture relies on the negative pressure provided by the external vacuum equipment, and a vent valve is provided on the positioning unit for connection with the vacuum pump, and can be opened or closed independently as needed.
[0027] Casters 15 are also provided around the bottom of the positioning frame for moving the tooling.
[0028] Several sets of horizontal adjustment mechanisms 16 are also provided around the bottom of the positioning frame. The horizontal adjustment mechanism includes a fixed base plate 161 fixed to the bottom of the positioning frame and an adjustable plate 163 installed on the bottom of the fixed base plate by bolts 162 and screws. The distance between the adjustable plate and the fixed base plate can be adjusted by manually turning the nut, thereby adjusting the level.
[0029] The molding and bonding tooling sealing unit 2 includes a sealing frame 21, a vacuum cloth 22 disposed on the sealing frame, and a plurality of pressing cylinders 23 disposed on the sealing frame 21. The pressing cylinders are disposed above the vacuum cloth 22. Guide rails 24 are disposed on both sides of the sealing frame 21, and pulleys are disposed on the inner wall of the guide rails.
[0030] The vacuum cloth 22 is an elastic vacuum cloth that can fit closely to the shape of the product to ensure uniform stress on the product; the vacuum arrangement is above the conforming mold, and a closed space is formed between the two to construct a negative pressure cavity.
[0031] The clamping cylinders 23 are evenly distributed around the sealing frame 21;
[0032] The width of the sealing frame 21 is greater than the width of the positioning frame 11;
[0033] refer to Figure 5 , 6 In this implementation, the molding and bonding fixture sealing unit 2 is first moved along the guide rail 24 to one side of the molding and bonding fixture positioning unit 1, and then the mold 12 is installed and the adhesive application process is completed. After adhesive application, the product positioning is confirmed to be accurate and the workpiece and the mold 12 structure are reliably fitted. Next, the molding and bonding fixture sealing unit 2 is moved along the guide rail to directly above the molding and bonding fixture positioning unit 1, so that the sealing frame and the sealing edge are aligned, and then the clamping cylinder is activated. Under the action of the cylinder, the sealing frame is tightly pressed against the sealing edge, and the vacuum cloth is freely covered on the product workpiece. After the sealing frame is clamped, the vacuum equipment is activated to quickly extract the air from the sealing cavity of the fixture to form a vacuum state. At this time, the vacuum cloth forms a uniform pressing force on the product surface, so that the product and the mold are tightly fitted to achieve the molding effect. After the equipment is turned on, it enters the pressure holding stage according to the process requirements and holds the pressure for a sufficient time until the adhesive is cured to a state where it can be demolded. Thus, the product bonding and molding work is completed.
