Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of hat processing technology, specifically relating to a shaping tool for rolled-brim hats. Background Technology

[0002] Shaping is the last and one of the most important steps in hat production. Shaping ensures that the hat has shape, support, and stability. During the shaping process, workers place the hat into a professional mold for shaping, and use methods such as electric heating and steam heating to achieve the best results.

[0003] In the current shaping process, hats are typically placed in a mold on a shaping machine. After placement, the upper mold is manually attached to the machine to limit the hat's upper and lower positions. When making rolled-brim hats, due to the large number of hats in the workshop, the upper mold needs to be moved for each hat's shaping. The upper mold itself has a certain weight, significantly increasing the difficulty of manual handling. During long working hours, employees need to frequently repeat the action of moving the upper mold, expending considerable physical energy each time. As working hours continue to lengthen, the increased labor intensity of manual handling poses a potential impact on employees' health and seriously affects shaping efficiency. Utility Model Content

The buffer member is configured with a preload force to push the baffle upward away from the connecting ring.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the lower mold is a heat-conducting component, and a heating unit is provided on the processing table. The heating unit contacts the lower mold to transfer the heat energy on the heating unit to the lower mold.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the pressure application assembly further includes an inflation head and a pneumatic compressor. The inflation head is located at the bottom of the lifting end and is positioned corresponding to the middle of the inner ring of the shaping mold. The inflation head is connected to the pneumatic compressor, which is used to inflate the inflation head to make it expand.

[0019] The upper surface of the top mold forms a push groove that is adapted to the inflation head, and the inflation head and the push groove can fit together vertically.

[0047] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 7 The brim-shaped hat shaping fixture provided in this application is described below. The brim-shaped hat shaping fixture includes a processing table 1, a lower mold 2, a top mold 3, a pressure application component 4, and an annular shaping mold 5. The processing table 1 has an upward-opening processing groove 11 at its top; the lower mold 2 is located in the processing groove 11 and fits against the outer surface of the hat; the top mold 3 is located on top of the top mold 3 and fits against the inner lining of the hat; the pressure application component 4 includes a support frame 41 and a lifting mechanism 42. The support frame 41 is located on the processing table 1, and the lifting mechanism 42 is connected to the support frame 41. The bottom end of the lifting mechanism 42 forms a lifting end that moves in the vertical direction. The shaping mold 5 is connected to the lifting end. A shaping channel 52 is formed on the inner circumference of the shaping mold 5. After the top mold 3 and the lower mold 2 are closed, they are both located in the shaping channel 52 and clamp the hat together.

[0048] It should be noted that the brim-shaped hat shaping fixture of this application is used in the manufacturing of brim-shaped hats. The hat has a brim, and the inner peripheral wall of the shaping mold 5 can limit the brim.

[0049] It should be noted that the hat is placed in the lower mold 2 with the brim facing upwards, the inner wall of the shaping mold 5 is fitted with the brim of the hat, the top mold 3 is fitted with the inside of the hat, and the lower mold 2 is fitted with the bottom of the outer surface of the hat, thus limiting the position of the hat from all directions.

[0050] It should be noted that the inner peripheral wall of the shaping channel 52 is adapted to the outer peripheral of the bottom mold and the outer peripheral of the top mold 3, respectively, so as to limit the displacement or rotation of the top mold 3 in the horizontal direction.

[0051] It should be noted that, for reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 The shaded area refers to the hat. The top mold 3 and bottom mold 2 hold the hat in place, while the shaping mold limits the hat from the side wall.

[0052] The brim-shaped hat shaping fixture provided in this embodiment, compared with the prior art, divides the traditional upper mold into a top mold 3 and a shaping mold 5. The size of the top mold 3 is adapted to the hat, and the shaping mold 5 is connected to the bottom of the lifting end of the pressure application component 4. The lifting mechanism 42 controls the movement of the shaping mold 5 in the vertical direction, replacing the manual handling operation. During operation, the employee only needs to pick up and put down the top mold 3 and the hat. The top mold 3 is small in size and light in weight, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of the employee and avoids the potential impact on the employee's health caused by frequent handling of the upper mold. The employee can complete the clamping and shaping operation of the hat more quickly, thereby improving the overall shaping efficiency. The inner peripheral wall of the shaping mold 5 is adapted to the outer peripheral wall of the upper mold and is inserted vertically, which can limit the displacement of the upper mold in the horizontal direction, so that the shaping mold 5, the upper mold and the lower mold 2 can cooperate more accurately to clamp the hat, ensuring the positional accuracy of the hat during the shaping process, thereby improving the shaping quality of the hat.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The support frame 41 includes a support plate 411 and multiple support rods 412. The bottom ends of the multiple support rods 412 are connected to the processing table 1, and the top ends of the multiple support rods 412 are connected to the support plate 411. The top of the lifting mechanism 42 is connected to the bottom of the support plate 411. The support plate 411 and the support rods 412 form a stable support system, providing a stable support foundation for the lifting mechanism 42. The multiple support rods 412 distribute the weight of the lifting mechanism 42 and the shaping mold 5, making the entire pressure application assembly 4 more stable during operation, reducing the possibility of shaking and displacement, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the hat shaping process.

[0054] For specific implementation, please refer to Figure 1 The multiple support rods 412 are four in number. The processing table 1 has a rectangular structure. The four support rods 412 are distributed at the four corners of the processing table 1, which avoids excessive local stress, reduces damage to the processing table 1 and other components, extends the service life of the entire brim hat shaping fixture, and further improves the reliability and economy of production.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 4The lifting end of the lifting mechanism 42 is also equipped with a guide plate 43. The surface of the guide plate 43 is parallel to the horizontal direction, and a guide hole is opened on the guide plate 43. The guide hole slides up and down with the support rod 412 to limit the displacement of the lifting end in the horizontal direction. The guide hole and the support rod 412 slide up and down to provide guidance for the lifting end during its up and down movement, thus limiting the displacement of the lifting end in the horizontal direction. Compared with the case without a guide structure, it can effectively avoid the lifting end from shaking or deviating during movement, making the lifting process more stable and ensuring the accuracy of the clamping of the cap by the shaping mold 5, the upper mold and the lower mold 2.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The top mold 3 conforms to the inner lining of the hat, the lower mold 2 conforms to the outer periphery of the hat, and the shaping channel 52 conforms to the outer periphery of the hat's brim. The upper mold conforms to the inner periphery of the hat, and the inner periphery of the shaping mold 5 and the lower mold 2 conform to the outer periphery of the hat, constraining and shaping the hat from all directions. This ensures that the hat is in close contact with the mold in all parts, better bearing the pressure and force from the mold. This helps reduce quality differences caused by inaccurate fitting between the mold and the hat, improves the stability of hat product quality, reduces the defect rate, and increases production efficiency and economic benefits.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The upper surface of the shaping mold 5 is provided with an upward-opening connecting groove 53. The outer periphery of the lifting end is coaxially connected with a connecting ring 421. The connecting ring 421 is provided with a connecting hole corresponding to the connecting groove 53. The pressure application component 4 also includes a buffer 44 and a buffer rod 45. The buffer rod 45 passes through the connecting hole from top to bottom, and the bottom end of the buffer rod 45 is connected to the connecting groove 53. The top of the buffer rod 45 is provided with a baffle 46. The buffer 44 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the buffer rod 45, and the two ends of the buffer 44 are respectively connected to the baffle 46 and the upper surface of the connecting ring 421. The buffer 44 is configured with a pre-tightening force to push the baffle 46 upward away from the connecting ring 421.

[0058] As one embodiment of the connection between the buffer rod 45 and the connecting groove 53, the inner peripheral wall of the connecting groove 53 is provided with an internal thread, and the bottom of the buffer rod 45 is provided with an external thread. The external thread and the internal thread are threaded together to connect the buffer rod 45 and the connecting groove 53.

[0059] As another embodiment of the connection between the buffer rod 45 and the connecting groove 53, the buffer rod 45 and the connecting groove 53 are welded.

[0060] It should be noted that in the idle state, the buffer 44 is configured with a pre-tightening force that pushes the baffle 46 upward away from the connecting ring 421, at which time there is a gap between the molding mold 5 and the connecting ring 421; when under pressure, the buffer 44 is configured with a pre-tightening force that pushes the baffle 46 downward toward the connecting ring 421.

[0061] The pressure-applying component 4 provided in this embodiment has a strong structural connection. The buffer rod 45 runs through the connecting hole from top to bottom and its bottom end connects to the connecting groove 53, making the connection between the shaping mold 5 and the lifting end tighter and more stable. This ensures that during the hat shaping process, the shaping mold 5 moves accurately with the lifting end and can withstand greater pressure without loosening or misalignment. This connection through the connecting groove 53, connecting hole, and buffer rod 45 provides axial and circumferential positioning, effectively preventing relative displacement that may occur during operation and ensuring the accuracy and stability of the hat shaping operation. The buffer element 44 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the buffer rod 45, and both ends of the buffer element 44 are connected to the upper surface of the baffle 46 and the connecting ring 421, respectively. The buffer element 44 is configured with a pre-tightening force to push the baffle 46 upward away from the connecting ring 421.

[0062] During the hat shaping process, when the lifting end applies downward pressure, the buffer component 44 acts as a buffer to prevent damage to the shaping mold 5, upper mold, and lower mold 2 from the instantaneous impact. The pre-tensioning force initially tightens the entire connecting structure, making the fit between components tighter and reducing pressure fluctuations that may occur due to gaps between components. As the pressure gradually increases, the buffer component 44 provides corresponding buffering according to the pressure magnitude, ensuring that the pressure is applied evenly to the hat. This results in more even stress distribution during the shaping process, promoting a more regular shape and improving the quality and consistency of the hat shaping. The structural design is relatively simple, facilitating assembly and disassembly. When the shaping mold 5 needs to be replaced, only the connecting rod needs to be removed, reducing the number of replacement steps and maintenance costs.

[0063] In practice, the buffer 44 gradually stretches, absorbing some of the energy, thereby slowing down pressure transmission and protecting the mold and cap from excessive impact. This helps extend the lifespan of the mold and also reduces the problem of localized deformation of the cap caused by pressure impact, improving the cap's shaping quality.

[0064] In some embodiments, the lower mold 2 is a heat-conducting component, and a heating unit is provided on the processing table 1. The heating unit contacts the lower mold 2 to transfer the heat energy from the heating unit to the lower mold. The heating unit can quickly absorb heat from the lower mold and evenly transfer it to the lower mold 2, allowing the lower mold 2 to heat-set the hat. Even heating of the hat can shorten the setting time and improve production efficiency.

[0065] In practice, the heating unit can use a heating wire or a heating copper plate that contacts the lower mold 2. The lower mold 2 is made of copper to ensure its heat transfer.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The pressure application component 4 also includes an inflation head 47 and an air compressor. The inflation head 47 is located at the bottom of the lifting end and corresponds to the middle of the inner ring of the shaping mold 5. The inflation head 47 is connected to the air compressor, which inflates the inflation head 47. The upper surface of the top mold 3 forms a push groove 31 that fits the inflation head 47, allowing the inflation head 47 to push against the groove 31 for a proper fit. The inflation head 47 is located in the middle of the inner ring of the shaping mold 5. When the air compressor inflates it, it applies uniform pressure to the inner ring of the hat, preventing excessive or insufficient pressure on any part of the hat and ensuring that the inner ring of the hat fits the shaping mold 5 more evenly, thus improving the overall shaping effect of the hat. The inflation head 47 is adapted to and inserted into the push groove 31 on the top mold 3. During inflation, it effectively lifts the top mold 3 upwards. By precisely controlling the inflation volume and pressure, the distance and pressure distribution between the top mold 3 and the lower mold 2 can be accurately adjusted. Using a pneumatic compressor to inflate the inflation head 47 is relatively simple; only the pressure and inflation volume of the compressor need to be controlled to control the pressure application component 4. This facilitates operation for workers during production, reducing operational difficulty and labor intensity.

[0067] It should be noted that the air compressor uses existing technology, and its structure and operating principle are public. As long as it can stably generate air pressure, it can inflate the air head 47.

[0068] In practice, for hats with specific inner ring shape requirements, such as round or oval inner rings, this uniform pressure can ensure that the inner ring shape is accurate and meets design standards.

[0069] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 5 The brim-shaped hat shaping fixture also includes a fixing ring 6, which is located within the processing groove 11 and coaxially aligned with it. The outer wall of the fixing ring 6 fits against the inner wall of the processing groove 11, and the inner wall of the fixing ring 6 fits against the outer periphery of the shaping mold 5 to limit the horizontal displacement of the shaping mold 5. The fixing ring 6 effectively limits the horizontal displacement of the shaping mold 5. Throughout the shaping process, the relative position between the shaping mold 5, the lower mold 2, and other related components remains stable, allowing the hat to be heated and pressed evenly, resulting in a more regular and compliant shape. This improves the shaping accuracy of the hat and ensures a high degree of consistency in the shape and size of each hat. In long-term use, it reduces wear and malfunctions caused by component shaking or displacement, extending the service life of the equipment.

[0070] In some embodiments, both the shaping mold 5 and the top mold 3 are rubber molds. Rubber molds have good flexibility, allowing them to better conform to the shape of the hat and improve the accuracy and effect of the shaping. Rubber molds also have a certain thermal conductivity, enabling them to transfer heat to the hat when used with a heating unit, thus aiding in heat setting. Furthermore, rubber molds are easy to process and mold, improving production adaptability and efficiency.

[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The top of the shaping mold 5 is equipped with a gripping groove, within which a handle 51 is located. Workers can easily grasp the handle 51 to move the shaping mold 5. When removing the used shaping mold 5 from the production line for cleaning or replacement with a new mold, workers do not need to directly contact the mold's high temperature or other sensitive parts; they can easily move the mold simply by holding the handle 51, improving operational safety and efficiency. The handle 51's placement within the gripping groove ensures that it will not interfere with the normal operation of the shaping mold 5 during the hat shaping process.

[0072] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
