Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive floor mat production technology, specifically to a dual-station automatic hot-pressing molding machine for automotive floor mats. Background Technology

[0002] Car floor mats are essential functional components inside vehicles, primarily used to protect the carpet, prevent slipping, provide waterproofing, and enhance passenger comfort. Traditional floor mat materials (such as PVC, rubber, and fabric) suffer from poor environmental performance, susceptibility to aging and deformation, and difficulty in cleaning. In recent years, thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) have gradually become the preferred material for car floor mats due to their superior overall performance; however, their application still faces challenges such as structural compatibility, durability, and optimization of manufacturing processes.

[0003] According to utility model patent application CN212194344U, published on December 22, 2020, a car floor mat molding device is disclosed, including a base and a cylinder. The top of the base is connected and fixed to a support via a shock-absorbing mechanism. A mold base is mounted on the surface of the support. At least four support rods are uniformly welded to the surface of the support in sequence. The other end of each support rod is welded and fixed to a support platform. A protective frame is bolted to the outside of the cylinder. The cylinder and the protective frame are integrally mounted on the surface of the support platform via a connector. The cylinder passes through a first through hole via a piston rod, and one end of the piston rod is connected to the mold pressure plate via a key. Its main technical advantages are: optimizing the installation structure of the cylinder and pressure plate, allowing the pressure plate to be fixed in position via a guide rod, and providing shock-absorbing mechanisms at the base and support to cooperate and prevent the molding action from adversely affecting the position of the original floor mat plate.

[0004] In existing technologies, the raw materials for car floor mats are heated in an oven, then removed from the oven and placed on a press for molding. Since there is a certain distance between the oven and the press, to ensure the raw materials are at a sufficient temperature for molding when moved to the press, the oven needs to heat the raw materials above the minimum temperature required for molding. This results in high energy consumption, and the raw materials must be manually removed from the oven and placed on the press, leading to high labor intensity. Therefore, this paper proposes a dual-station automatic hot-press molding machine for car floor mats, aiming to solve the problems of high energy consumption and high labor intensity in existing technologies.

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 — Figure 4 A dual-station automatic hot-press molding machine for car floor mats includes a frame 1, and also includes:

[0029] Heating unit 2 is located inside the frame 1;

[0030] The transverse clamping unit 3, which is slidably connected inside the frame 1, is used to clamp the raw materials.

[0031] A molding mechanism 4 is mounted on the frame 1, and a cooling mechanism 5 is mounted on the molding mechanism 4.

[0032] The reciprocating motion is maintained by the transverse clamping unit 3, so that the raw material in the transverse clamping unit 3 moves between the heating unit 2 and the forming mechanism 4.

[0033] Specifically, a slide rail is provided on the frame 1, and the transverse clamping unit 3 is slidably connected to the slide rail. A forming mechanism 4 is provided on the frame 1. As an embodiment provided by this utility model, there are two forming mechanisms 4, which are symmetrically distributed on the frame 1. The heating unit 2 is located between the two forming mechanisms 4, and a cooling mechanism 5 is provided on the forming mechanism 4. The transverse clamping unit 3 can reciprocate between the forming mechanism 4 and the heating unit 2 to move the raw material from the heating unit 2 to the forming mechanism 4.

[0034] Specifically, heating unit 2 is a conventional heating plate or hot air blower in the existing technology, which can be used to heat the raw materials to soften them and make them plastic.

[0035] As another embodiment of the cooling mechanism 5 provided by this utility model, the cooling mechanism 5 can be a fixedly installed air cooler or other equipment used for blowing air.

[0036] In this utility model, the transverse clamping unit 3 can move within the frame 1. The raw material is moved between the heating unit 2 and the forming mechanism 4 through the transverse clamping unit 3. The heating unit 2 directly heats the raw material, and after heating, it can be directly moved to the forming mechanism 4 for forming through the transverse clamping unit 3. This can reduce the intensity of manual labor and the cost of manual handling. At the same time, the moving distance is shorter, so the raw material does not need to be heated to a higher temperature to achieve forming, which can reduce energy consumption. Meanwhile, the cooling mechanism 5 can cool down the formed foot pad, making it convenient for manual handling.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the transverse clamping unit 3 includes a sliding frame 31 and a clamping unit 32. A drive mechanism 6 is provided on the frame 1. The sliding frame 31 is slidably connected to the frame 1 via a slide rail, and the output end of the drive mechanism 6 is connected to the transverse clamping unit 3. The drive mechanism 6 drives the transverse clamping unit 3 to move along the slide rail on the frame 1.

[0038] The clamping unit 32 is disposed on the sliding frame 31. Specifically, the clamping unit 32 includes a fixed frame 321 and a lifting drive unit 322. The lifting drive unit 322 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding frame 31, and the fixed frame 321 is fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting drive unit 322. The lifting drive unit 322 can drive the fixed frame 321 to keep it moving up and down. Specifically, both the fixed frame 321 and the sliding frame 31 are frame structures. The frame structure of the fixed frame 321 and the sliding frame 31 can provide space when the forming mechanism 4 is shaping. At the same time, in order to make the lifting of the fixed frame 321 more stable, multiple lifting drive units 322 can be set to synchronously drive the fixed frame 321 to keep it rising or falling.

[0039] Specifically, the lifting drive unit 322 can be a conventional mechanical drive component such as a cylinder or a stepper motor.

[0040] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drive mechanism 6 includes a drive motor 61, a drive gear 62, and a drive rack 63. The drive motor 61 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one side of the frame 1, the drive gear 62 is fixedly installed on the output end of the drive motor 61, and the drive rack 63 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the sliding frame 31. Preferably, the sliding frames 31 of the two transverse clamping units 3 are connected to the drive rack 63. The drive rack 63 meshes with the drive gear 62. The drive motor 61 can drive the drive gear 62 to keep rotating, and the rotation of the drive gear 62 can drive the drive rack 63 to keep moving, ultimately driving the sliding frame 31 to keep reciprocating along the slide rail inside the frame 1.

[0041] As an embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 4 and Figure 2 As shown, the molding mechanism 4 includes an upper mold 41, a lower mold 42, and a molding drive unit 43. Specifically, the number of molding drive units 43 is at least two. As an embodiment provided by this utility model, the number of molding drive units 43 is two. One molding drive unit 43 is fixedly installed in the upper part of the machine frame 1, and the other molding drive unit 43 is fixedly installed in the lower part of the machine frame 1. The upper mold 41 is fixed to the output end of one of the molding drive units 43, and the lower mold 42 is fixedly installed in the output end of the other molding drive unit 43. The two molding drive units 43 drive the upper mold 41 and the lower mold 42 to keep moving and to contact the raw material inside the transverse clamping unit 3, so that the raw material is shaped and the processing is completed.

[0042] Specifically, the molding drive unit 43 can be a conventional mechanical drive component such as a cylinder or a stepper motor. In order to enable the upper mold 41 and the lower mold 42 to move stably, guide rods can be set on the frame 1 so that the upper mold 41 and the lower mold 42 can be raised and lowered smoothly.

[0043] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cooling mechanism 5 includes a mounting base 51, a telescopic drive unit 52, a moving frame 53, a moving rack 54, a rotating gear 55, and a blower 56. Specifically, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the mounting base 51 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one side of the frame 1, and the mounting base 51 is also fixedly installed on the upper part of the inside of the frame 1. Preferably, there are several mounting bases 51. As an embodiment provided by this utility model, there are two mounting bases 51, and the two mounting bases 51 are installed on one side of the frame 1. The number of blowers 56 is adapted to the number of mounting bases 51. The blowers 56 are rotatably connected to the mounting bases 51 through rotating shafts, and the number of rotating gears 55 is adapted to the number of blowers 56. The rotary gear 55 is fixedly installed on the shaft of the blower 56. The telescopic drive unit 52 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one side of the frame 1. The movable frame 53 is fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic drive unit 52. The telescopic drive unit 52 can drive the movable frame 53 to keep moving, and then drive the movable frame 53 to keep reciprocating. The movable rack 54 is fixedly installed on the movable frame 53. The movable rack 54 meshes with the rotary gear 55. The telescopic drive unit 52 drives the movable frame 53 to keep moving, and further drives the movable rack 54 to keep moving. The movement of the movable rack 54 drives the rotary gear 55 to keep rotating, and finally drives the blower 56 to keep rotating.

[0044] As an embodiment of the present invention, there are four cooling mechanisms 5, two of which are located on both sides of the forming mechanism 4. By rotating the blowers 56 located on both sides of the forming mechanism 4, the foot pads formed inside the transverse clamping unit 3 can be cooled, making it easier for manual removal.

[0045] As an embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a limiting abutment unit 7 is provided on the frame 1. The limiting abutment unit 7 includes a fixed seat 71 and an arc-shaped piece 72. The fixed seat 71 is fixedly installed on the frame 1, and the arc-shaped piece 72 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 71. A torque spring is provided between the arc-shaped piece 72 and the fixed seat 71. There are two arc-shaped pieces 72, which are symmetrically distributed. The torque spring drives the two arc-shaped pieces 72 to move towards each other. An abutment seat 73 is provided on the transverse clamping unit 3. Specifically, the abutment seat 73 is provided on the sliding frame 31. The outer wall of the abutment seat 73 is an arc-shaped structure, which can be engaged with the arc-shaped piece 72 of the limiting abutment unit 7.

[0046] Working principle:

[0047] In the initial position, one of the transverse clamping units 3 is located inside the heating unit 2, and the fixed frame 321 is separated from the sliding frame 31. The operator places the raw material inside the sliding frame 31, and then the clamping unit 32 clamps the raw material, and then the heating unit 2 heats the raw material.

[0048] After heating for a certain period of time, the control module controls the drive motor 61 to drive the two transverse clamping units 3 to move synchronously, so that one transverse clamping unit 3 is located in the forming mechanism 4 and the other transverse clamping unit 3 is located in the heating unit 2. When moving, the movement of the transverse clamping unit 3 can be limited by the abutment seat 73 abutting against the limiting abutment unit 7.

[0049] Subsequently, the upper mold 41 and the lower mold 42 of the forming mechanism 4 move towards each other, so that the raw material inside one of the transverse clamping units 3 is formed, while the other transverse clamping unit 3 is heated by the heating unit 2, which can realize dual-station operation.

[0050] After molding, the telescopic drive unit 52 is controlled by the control module to drive the moving frame 53 to keep moving, and the rotating gear 55 is driven to rotate by the moving rack 54, which in turn drives the blower 56 to keep rotating. The blower 56 blows out cold air to cool the molded foot pad. To improve the air guiding effect, an air guide cover can be installed on the blower 56, or the blower 56 can be fixed on the frame 1 and the air guide cover can be rotatably connected in the mounting base 51 to achieve a more stable operation.

[0051] The torque spring mentioned in this article has an elastic coefficient that meets the technical requirements of this utility model.

[0052] Those skilled in the art will understand that other similar connection methods can also achieve this utility model. For example, welding, bonding, or screwing.

[0053] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
