Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive supplies, and in particular to a car cover folding device. Background Technology

[0002] Car covers, a common automotive accessory, are used to protect cars from scratches while parked, as well as for sun protection, dust protection, and waterproofing. Due to their large size, car covers often need to be folded before packaging to reduce their volume and fit into the packaging bag.

[0003] When folding car covers manually, the large area makes it difficult to fold them neatly, resulting in low efficiency and poor folding quality, which makes it difficult to directly pack the folded car covers into packaging bags. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the issues of low efficiency and poor quality in manually folding car covers, this application provides a car cover folding device.

[0005] The vehicle cover folding device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A car cover folding device, comprising:

[0007] A plurality of support columns are arranged in parallel, with the plurality of support columns spaced at equal intervals to create a hollow area between adjacent support columns. The support columns are capable of sliding along their length and are used to hold a car cover.

[0008] The pressing component is arranged in parallel with several pressing components spaced at equal distances. The pressing component is located above the support column. Each pressing component is directly opposite a hollow area between the support columns. Each pressing component can descend the same distance to press the car cover downward.

[0009] The pressing members press down in sequence, causing the car cover located on the support column to bend toward the hollow area between the support columns. After each pressing member completes its pressing down in sequence, it rises, and the car cover bends in a wave-like shape. The support column slides to completely detach from the car cover.

[0010] The folding mechanism, after the support column is detached from the car cover, compresses along the length of the car cover, causing the wavy car cover to fold into a tight state.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the car cover is placed on the support column, and the pressing component is aligned with the hollow area between the support columns and pressed down in sequence, so that the car cover folds down towards the hollow area between the support columns. The support column, together with the pressing component, deforms the car cover into a wave shape. Then, the support column is detached from the car cover, and the pressing component rises and resets. At this time, the car cover maintains a wave-shaped bending shape. Then, the folding mechanism is pressed along the length of the wave-shaped car cover, and each bend of the car cover folds over each other and sticks to each other, so that the car cover is compressed into a relatively square folded state.

[0012] Preferably, the support column is fixedly connected to a support frame, the support frame is connected to a drive mechanism and a slide rail, the slide rail is arranged along the length direction of the support column, and the drive mechanism drives the support frame to slide along the slide rail so that the support column can slide along the length direction of the support column.

[0013] Preferably, the system also includes a worktable with a folding groove, the support columns being located above the folding groove, and the hollow area between the support columns being connected to the folding groove.

[0014] Preferably, the workbench is provided with a guide platform, which is located on both sides of the folding groove. The support column passes through the guide platform on one side of the folding groove, and the guide platform on the other side of the folding groove is provided with a slot for the support column to be inserted.

[0015] Preferably, the pressing member is connected to a fixing frame, the fixing frame is fixed above the folding groove, and a lifting cylinder for driving the pressing member to rise and fall is fixed on the fixing frame, the pressing member is connected to the piston end of the lifting cylinder.

[0016] Preferably, the folding mechanism is located at one end of the folding groove, and the folding mechanism presses against the groove wall at the other end of the folding groove to fold the car cover into a tight state.

[0017] Preferably, the folding mechanism includes a folding plate and a driving member connected together. The driving member is used to drive the folding plate to slide along the length direction of the folding groove. A pressure block is fixed on the folding plate and the groove wall of the folding groove at the end away from the folding plate.

[0018] Preferably, the pressing component includes a guide rod and a pressing plate. The guide rod is perpendicular to the support column, and the pressing plate is connected to one end of the guide rod. The guide rod moves up and down, causing the pressing plate to press down on the car cover, so that the car cover bends downward through the hollow area between the support columns.

[0019] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0020] It is easy to operate, has high folding efficiency, and saves labor costs. Simply place the car cover on the support column and drive the pressing part and folding mechanism in sequence to fold the car cover.

[0021] The folding effect of the car cover is good. The distance between each support column and each pressing component is set to be equal so that the size of each fold is consistent. The folding plate is pressed against the groove wall of the folding groove so that the car cover is pressed into a tight state. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0029] This application discloses a car cover folding device. After production, car covers need to be folded and tightened for subsequent packaging. Due to the large area of ​​the car cover, it is usually pre-treated before folding and tightening, by manually folding it into a long strip to facilitate further folding. The car cover folding device of this application is used to further fold and tighten the pre-folded long strip of car cover. (Refer to...) Figure 1The car cover folding device includes a support mechanism 1, a pressing component 2, a folding mechanism 3, and a worktable 4. The support mechanism 1 is used to hold the pre-folded elongated car cover, the pressing component 2 is used to bend the car cover, the folding mechanism 3 is used to fold the car cover, and the worktable 4 provides operating space for folding the car cover. The support mechanism 1 is located on the worktable 4, and the pressing component 2 is located above the support mechanism 1. The pressing component 2 presses down, causing the car cover on the support mechanism 1 to bend. After the support mechanism 1 detaches from the car cover, the folding mechanism 3 compresses the bent car cover to fold it into a tight state.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The support mechanism 1 includes several support columns 11 arranged in parallel, spaced equidistantly, with a hollow area formed between adjacent support columns 11. Each support column 11 can slide along its length. Correspondingly, several pressing members 2 are arranged in parallel, spaced equidistantly, and positioned above the support columns 11. Each pressing member 2 faces a hollow area between the support columns 11, and each pressing member 2 can descend the same distance to ensure that the bending degree of the car cover within each hollow area between the support columns 11 is uniform, thus ensuring that the dimensions of each layer of the folded car cover are consistent. Preferably, the number of support columns 11 and pressing members 2 is the same, and the number of support columns 11 and pressing members 2 is determined according to the number of layers to be folded. In this embodiment, four support columns 11 and pressing members 2 are provided.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the support column 11 slides below the pressing member 2, the pressing member 2 presses down sequentially along the arrangement direction of the support column 11, causing the car cover located on the support column 11 to bend towards the hollow area between the support column 11. After each pressing member 2 completes its pressing, the car cover bends in a wave shape. Then, the pressing member 2 is driven to rise, and the support column 11 slides until it is completely detached from the car cover. Due to the high hardness of the car cover material, the car cover can still maintain its wave-shaped bending deformation after the support column 11 is removed. At this time, the folding mechanism 3 is driven to compress the car cover to a tight state along the length direction of the wave-shaped car cover.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The support mechanism 1 also includes a support frame 12, which is connected to a drive mechanism 13 and a slide rail 14. The drive mechanism 13 drives the slide rail 14 to slide. The slide rail 14 is arranged along the length of the support column 11 so that the support column 11 can slide along the length of the support column 11. Specifically, the support frame 12 includes a drive part 121 and a sliding part 122. The sliding part 122 is arranged perpendicular to the support column 11, and its two ends are slidably connected to the slide rail 14. Several support columns 11 are fixed to the side of the sliding part 122 near the lower pressure member 2. The drive part 121 is fixedly connected to the other side of the sliding part 122 and is connected to the drive mechanism 13. In a preferred embodiment, the drive mechanism 13 is a cylinder, and the drive part 121 is fixed to the piston end of the drive mechanism 13. The drive part 121 plays a stabilizing and guiding role in the sliding of the sliding part 122. Obviously, the sliding part 122 can also be directly connected to the piston end of the drive mechanism 13.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The workbench 4 has a folding groove 41, and the support columns 11 are located above the folding groove 41. The hollow area between the support columns 11 is connected to the folding groove 41. When the pressing component 2 is pressed down, the car cover located on the support columns 11 bends into the folding groove 41 through the hollow area between the support columns 11. The folding mechanism 3 is located at one end of the folding groove 41. The folding mechanism 3 moves from one end of the folding groove 41 to the other end of the folding groove 41, folding and pressing the wavy car cover located in the folding groove 41 into a relatively square shape.

[0034] In one embodiment, the folding mechanism 3 includes a folding plate 31 and a driving member 32 connected to each other. The driving member 32 drives the folding plate 31 to slide along the length direction of the folding groove 41. The driving member 32 is preferably a cylinder, and the folding plate 31 is connected to the piston end of the driving member 32. Further, a pressure block 33 is fixed on the folding plate 31 and the groove wall of the folding groove 41 at the end away from the folding plate 31. The pressure block 33 can be made of rubber. The pressure block 33 provides cushioning when the folding plate 31 is pressed against the groove wall at the other end of the folding groove 41. The pressure block 33 is replaceable, which improves the service life of the folding mechanism 3.

[0035] The workbench 4 is also equipped with a guide platform 42, which includes a through-hole platform 421 and a locking platform 422. The through-hole platform 421 and the locking platform 422 are located on both sides of the folding groove 41, respectively. The through-hole platform 421 has a through hole for the support column 11 to pass through, and the locking platform 422 has a locking groove 423 for the support column 11 to be locked. When the support column 11 passes through the through-hole platform 421 and slides until one end of the support column 11 is locked in the locking groove 423, the support column 11 slides into position above the folding groove 41. The through hole and the locking groove 423 of the guide platform 42 can guide the support column 11 to slide along the length direction of the support column 11.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The pressing component 2 is connected to a fixing frame 5, which is fixed above the folding groove 41. The fixing frame 5 is arranged along the length of the folding groove 41, so that the pressing components 2 are arranged along the length of the folding groove 41. A lifting cylinder 51 for driving the pressing components 2 to rise and fall is fixed on the fixing frame 5. The pressing component 2 is connected to the piston end of the lifting cylinder 51, and the pressing component 2 is preferably arranged vertically. A control button can be provided on the fixing frame 5 to control each pressing component 2 individually.

[0037] The pressing component 2 includes a guide rod 21 and a pressing plate 22. The guide rod 21 is perpendicular to the support column 11. One end of the guide rod 21 is connected to the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 51. The pressing plate 22 is fixed to the other end of the guide rod 21. The guide rod 21 descends and drives the pressing plate 22 to press down on the car cover, causing the car cover to bend downward through the hollow area between the support columns 11. After each pressing plate 22 completes its downward press, the guide rod 21 rises and the pressing component 2 returns to its original position.

[0038] The implementation principle of the car cover folding device in this application embodiment is as follows: The drive mechanism 13 drives the sliding part 122 to slide along the slide rail 14, so that the support column 11 slides along the length direction of the support column 11 in the through hole, and the support column 11 slides until one end of the support column 11 is engaged in the slot 423. The long strip-shaped car cover is placed on the support column 11, and the lifting cylinder 51 drives each pressing part 2 to descend in sequence, so that the car cover bends towards the hollow area between the support columns 11. After the pressing part 2 completes the pressing, the car cover is bent in a wave shape. Then the pressing part 2 is raised to reset, so that the support column 11 retracts to its original position along the through hole to disengage from the car cover. At this time, the control drive part 32 drives the folding plate 31 to press against the pressure block 33 at the end of the folding groove 41 away from the folding plate 31, so that the wave-shaped bent car cover is folded into a relatively square and tight state.

[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
