Therefore, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0031] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides an automotive trim crimping device, which includes a base 1, a locking component 2, a first crimping component 3, and a second crimping component 4.

[0032] Specifically, the base 1 is used to support and hold the car trim strip. The base 1 includes a side surface 11 and a top surface 12. The side surface 11 protrudes outward. After the car trim strip is placed on the base 1, the side surface 11 and the top surface 12 of the base 1 conform to the contour and shape of the corresponding surface of the car trim strip. The locking assembly 2 is mounted on the base plate 9. After the car trim strip is placed on the base 1, the locking assembly 2 limits and locks the car trim strip before the first pressing assembly 3 and the second pressing assembly 4. The locking assembly 2 includes a controllable rotating locking member 21. The locking member 21 is constructed as a block structure. The locking member 21 includes a locking surface 211, which is recessed from the surface of the locking member 21. In the locked state, the locking member 21 rotates to the top of the base 1. The locking surface 211 is at least partially facing the side surface 11 and at least partially facing the top surface 12, and at least partially abuts against the surface of the car trim strip. The first crimping assembly 3 includes a first crimping member 31 that can be controlled to move toward the side surface 11, with the side of the first crimping member 31 recessed inward near the base 1. The second crimping assembly 4 includes a second crimping member 41 that can be controlled to move toward the top surface 12. The first crimping member 31 and the second crimping member 41 are constructed as block structures. As the first crimping member 31 and the second crimping member 41 move toward the base 1, they can gradually squeeze the automotive trim strip to crimp it.

[0033] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking assembly 2 also includes a support member 22 and a rotating plate 23 rotatably connected to the top of the support member 22. The locking member 21 is disposed on the rotating plate 23 and is located on the same side of the rotating plate 23 as the support member 22. The locking member 21 and the rotating plate 23 have an included angle of about 90°. In the locked state, the rotating plate 23 is basically parallel to the horizontal plane, and the locking member 21 is basically perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The locking surface 211 is located at the bottom end of the locking member 21, so that the locking surface 211 can abut against the bright strip of the car from the top and side, lock and limit the bright strip of the car, and facilitate subsequent pressing.

[0034] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking assembly 2 also includes a first cylinder 24 connected vertically to the bottom of the support member 22. The first cylinder 24 can drive the support member 22, the rotating plate 23 and the locking member 21 to move up and down, and adjust the distance between the locking member 21 and the base 1.

[0035] The locking assembly 2 also includes a retaining member 25 connected to the rotating plate 23. In the locked state, the retaining member 25 is located between the support member 22 and the first cylinder 24, with the bottom end of the retaining member 25 abutting against the top end of the cylinder barrel of the first cylinder 24, thereby fixing the angle of the rotating plate 23 in the locked state and ensuring that the locking member 21 is firmly abutted against the automotive trim. When the automotive trim is pressed and the rotating plate 23 is rotated in the opposite direction, due to the rotatable connection between the retaining member 25 and the rotating plate 23, the retaining member 25 tends to remain vertical, preventing its end away from the rotating plate 23 from rotating around the support member 22, thereby preventing the end of the retaining member 25 away from the rotating plate 23 from touching the base 1 or the automotive trim on the base 1.

[0036] Furthermore, the supporting member 25 includes a first supporting member 251 and a second supporting member 252 that are rotatably connected. The first supporting member 251 and the second supporting member 252 are constructed as strip-shaped or block-shaped structures. The first supporting member 251 is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 23, and the end of the second supporting member 252 away from the first supporting member 251 is used to abut against the cylinder of the first cylinder 24.

[0037] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in order to facilitate manual rotation of the rotating plate 23 by the operator, the locking assembly 2 also includes a handle 26 located on the side of the rotating plate 23 away from the locking member 21.

[0038] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 As shown, the automotive trim crimping device includes two locking components 2. The two locking components 2 and the first crimping component 3 are located on opposite sides of the base 1, and the two locking components 2 are spaced apart in the horizontal direction and are located as close as possible to the ends of both sides of the base 1.

[0039] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the first crimping assembly 3 also includes a second cylinder 32 connected to the first crimping member 31. The second cylinder 32 is arranged in a basically horizontal direction and is used to drive the first crimping member 31 to reciprocate linearly in the horizontal direction.

[0040] Similarly, the second crimping assembly 4 also includes a third cylinder 42 connected to the second crimping member 41. The third cylinder 42 is arranged in a basically vertical direction and is used to drive the second crimping member 41 to reciprocate linearly in the horizontal direction.

[0041] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the automotive trim crimping equipment also includes a drive assembly, which includes a slide rail 6, a slider 7 slidably connected to the slide rail 6, a bracket 5 connected to the slider 7, and a fourth cylinder 8 that drives the bracket 5 to move toward the base 1. The second cylinder 32 of the first crimping assembly 3 and the third cylinder 42 of the second crimping assembly 4 are both mounted on the bracket 5 and move along the slide rail 6 together with the bracket 5.

[0042] Furthermore, there are two slide rails 6 and two sliders 7. The two slide rails 6 are parallel to each other, and each slide rail 6 is equipped with a single slider 7. The bracket 5 is connected to the top of the two sliders 7.

[0043] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the automotive trim pressing equipment also includes a support base 1, a locking component 2, a first pressing component 3, a second pressing component 4, and a base plate 9 for the driving component.

[0044] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0045] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
