The middle part of the foot pedal linkage is connected to the piston of the pressure-holding cylinder. The upper part of the foot pedal linkage is connected to a support plate, which drives the support plate to press down on the product to be shaped in the shaping mold cavity.

[0007] This technical solution involves placing the product to be shaped into the molding cavity, pressing the support plate on top, and then stepping on the foot pedal. The foot pedal linkage drives the support plate downwards to press the product into the molding cavity, simultaneously moving the piston of the pressure-holding cylinder downwards. The foot pedal can then be released to maintain pressure. The pressure-holding cylinder can be preset with a pressure-holding time. Once the pressure-holding time is up, the piston returns to its original position, releasing the support plate.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, the frame is provided with a hot air duct placement slot. This technical solution allows for the placement of a hot air duct, facilitating the initial heating and softening of the PU before subsequent operations such as skin stretching.

[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, the lower surface of the support plate is provided with a buffer silicone sheet, which can protect the product.

[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model, the pressure-holding cylinder is connected to the cylinder bracket, and the pressure-holding cylinder bracket is connected to the machine frame.

At the same time, the pressure-holding cylinder is activated. Afterward, the foot can be released, and pressure is maintained by the pressure-holding cylinder, which improves the product qualification rate. Moreover, this process achieves semi-automatic operation of manual equipment, reduces human factors, improves production efficiency, and results in better product quality consistency.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a composite sheath stretching and pressure-holding shaping device includes a frame 1, on which a shaping mold, a hot air duct placement slot 12, and a cylinder control valve are provided. The hot air duct placement slot 12 is used to place a hot air duct, and the cylinder control valve is used to open or close the pressure-holding cylinder 5.

[0030] The shaping mold includes a shaping cavity 2 for placing the product to be shaped and a support plate 3, with the support plate 3 located above the shaping cavity 2. The lower part of the frame 1 is equipped with a foot pedal 4, a pressure-holding cylinder 5, and a tension spring 10 assembly. The pressure-holding cylinder 5 is connected to a cylinder bracket 13, and the cylinder bracket is connected to the frame 1. The foot pedal 4 is connected to a foot pedal connecting rod 6. The middle part of the foot pedal connecting rod 6 is connected to the piston of the pressure-holding cylinder 5, and the upper part of the foot pedal connecting rod 6 is connected to the support plate 3, causing the support plate 3 to press downwards against the product to be shaped within the shaping cavity 2. There are two foot pedals 4, each connected to a foot pedal connecting rod 6. The two sides of the connecting plate 8 are connected to the guide grooves 7 of the two foot pedal connecting rods 6 via connecting parts 9.

[0031] The foot pedal linkage 6 has a guide groove 7 in the middle. The piston of the pressure-holding cylinder 5 is connected to the connecting plate 8, and the connecting plate 8 is movably connected to the guide groove 7 via a connector 9. Furthermore, the stroke of the pressure-holding cylinder 5 is greater than the length of the guide groove 7. The guide groove 7 is a U-shaped groove. The connector 9 can be a screw 11, which passes through the guide groove 7 and connects to both sides of the connecting plate 8. It also serves as a limit switch, resulting in a simple structure that is easy to install and fix.

[0032] The upper part of the foot pedal linkage 6 is connected to one end of the tension spring 10 assembly, and the other end of the tension spring 10 assembly is connected to the support plate 3. Using this technical solution, when the foot pedal 4 is lightly pressed and released, the foot pedal linkage 6 can quickly return to its original position under the action of the tension spring 10 assembly. Specifically, the tension spring 10 assembly includes a tension spring 10 and a screw 11, with both ends of the tension spring 10 connected to the foot pedal linkage 6 and the support plate 3 respectively via the screw 11.

[0033] The frame 1 is equipped with a foot pedal rotating bracket 14. The foot pedal 4 is connected to the foot pedal rotating bracket 14 via a rotating shaft 15. The middle part of the foot pedal 4 is connected to the foot pedal connecting rod 6. A pad is provided at the bottom of the frame 1. The foot pedal connecting rod 6 is movably connected to the support plate 3. The upper part of the foot pedal connecting rod 6 passes through the shaping mold cavity 2, extends out of the support plate 3, and is bent into a "7" shape. This technical solution has a simple structure, good downward pressure effect on the support plate 3, and is easy to process.

[0034] Furthermore, the surface of the support plate 3 is provided with a buffer silicone sheet, which can protect the product.

[0035] This technical solution involves first heating the PU skin 21 with a hot air gun, then covering it onto the PC shell 22, allowing the PU skin 21 to extend into the groove inside the PC shell 22, forming a product to be shaped. The product is then placed into the shaping mold cavity 2, with the support plate 3 pressed down on top. A foot pedal 4 is then pressed down, via a foot pedal linkage 6, causing the support plate 3 to press the product into the shaping mold cavity 2, simultaneously activating the pressure-holding cylinder 5. At this point, the foot pedal 4 can be released to maintain pressure. The pressure-holding cylinder 5 can be preset with a pressure-holding time. Once the pressure-holding time is up, the piston of the pressure-holding cylinder 5 returns to its original position, releasing the support plate 3. The pressure-holding and shaping process can be manually repeated on another machine, improving efficiency and ensuring more stable quality.
