[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Through the rationally designed structural combination and connection relationship of the automatic applicator, the efficiency and accuracy of packaging material applicator operation can be significantly improved. In this design, the packaging material is mounted on a lifting component. The position of the packaging material can be flexibly adjusted by the movement of the lifting component. The applicator mounted on the moving component is in tangential contact with the self-adhesive fabric with adhesive backing, ensuring that the fabric adheres evenly and accurately to the surface of the packaging material during the applicator application process. With the cooperation of the moving component, the applicator always maintains contact with the surface of the packaging material and ensures that the self-adhesive fabric is positioned between the applicator and the packaging material. The clamping state between the layers effectively prevents wrinkles, shifts, or unevenness of the fabric during the bonding process. The lifting mechanism allows the packaging material to be adjusted up and down as needed, ensuring that the adhesive patch accurately covers every part of the packaging material. This design not only ensures that the self-adhesive fabric adheres completely to the surface of the packaging material but also maintains the tension and consistency of the fabric during the bonding process, thereby greatly improving the bonding effect and quality. Through this precise structural combination and adjustment mechanism, errors and quality fluctuations caused by human factors can be significantly reduced, improving the consistency and stability of the product.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-3In this embodiment of the present invention, an automatic applicator for automotive interior and exterior trim packaging materials includes a worktable 1 and a movable slot 2 formed on the worktable 1. The worktable 1 is equipped with an automatic applicator structure, which includes: a movable component disposed on the worktable 1, on which an applicator is mounted; the movable component, when activated, moves the applicator horizontally in a two-dimensional plane; and a lifting component disposed on the worktable 1, on which packaging material 22 is mounted; the lifting component, when activated, moves the applicator horizontally in a two-dimensional plane. The packaging material 22 moves up and down in the movable groove 2 in a direction perpendicular to the worktable 1, and the packaging material 22 abuts against the patch; it also includes a guide member disposed on the worktable 1, on which a self-adhesive fabric 13 is disposed, and the self-adhesive fabric 13 is placed between the patch and the packaging material 22. When the packaging material 22 moves up and down, the patch remains in contact with the packaging material 22 under the action of the moving member, so that the self-adhesive fabric 13 placed between the patch and the packaging material 22 is adhered to the packaging material 22.

[0023] In this embodiment, the self-adhesive fabric 13 is conducted through a conductive component. With the help of the conductive component, the self-adhesive fabric 13 remains flat and has appropriate tension throughout the application process. This not only ensures the stability of the self-adhesive fabric 13 but also meets the required conductive performance during application. The self-adhesive fabric 13 has its own adhesive backing, allowing it to adhere tightly to the surface of the packaging material 22. The design of the conductive component ensures that the self-adhesive fabric 13 remains flat and wrinkle-free, avoiding adhesion quality problems caused by fabric looseness or insufficient tension. Throughout the operation, the lifting component can adjust the lifting state of the packaging material 22 on the worktable 1, thereby precisely controlling the relative position between the packaging material 22 and the adhesive component. The movement of the moving component ensures that the adhesive component and the surface of the packaging material 22 remain in close contact. Regardless of how the packaging material 22 is raised or lowered, the adhesive component can effectively and smoothly and accurately adhere the self-adhesive fabric 13 to the packaging material 22. During the lifting process, the cooperation between the adhesive component and the packaging material 22 ensures that the self-adhesive fabric 13 is always in a position between the adhesive component and the packaging material 22. The clamping state between the materials 22 prevents fabric shifting, wrinkling, or unevenness, making the application process smoother and more efficient. This lifting and adjusting mechanism ensures the fabric patch and the surface of the packaging material 22 are always in correct contact, guaranteeing that the self-adhesive fabric 13 perfectly adheres to the bonding surface of the packaging material 22. The adjustment of the lifting component allows the self-adhesive fabric 13 to precisely cover every corner of the packaging material 22, further improving the uniformity and quality of the application. Through this precise design and structural coordination, the entire automatic application operation is successfully completed, greatly improving the quality and consistency of the application. Automated operation not only improves production efficiency but also effectively reduces errors caused by human factors. Manual application often suffers from improper operation and uneven application, while this automated system can accurately complete the task, avoiding these potential problems. In addition, automated operation reduces reliance on manual labor, significantly lowering labor costs, while also improving the safety and comfort of the working environment.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As a further embodiment of this utility model, the moving component includes a first linear slide rail 3 symmetrically fixed on the worktable 1, a cylinder 4 located between the two first linear slide rails 3 and disposed on the worktable 1, and a transverse movement mechanism slidably disposed on the cylinder 4; the piston rod end of the cylinder 4 is connected to the transverse movement mechanism, and the extension and retraction adjustment of the piston rod of the cylinder 4 controls the transverse movement mechanism to slide on the first linear slide rail 3.

[0025] The lateral movement mechanism includes a first moving platform 5 that slides on the first linear slide rail 3, a second linear slide rail 6 that is fixed on the first moving platform 5, and a driving component that is fixed on the first moving platform 5. The first moving platform 5 is used to carry the driving component to move on the first linear slide rail 3.

[0026] The driving component includes a first motor 7 mounted on the first moving platform 5, a first gear 8 fixed on the output shaft of the first motor 7, a first rack 9 meshing with the first gear 8, and a second moving platform 10 fixed on the first rack 9; one side of the second moving platform 10 is slidably connected to the second linear slide rail 6 via a guide rail, and the first motor 7 drives the first rack 9 to move laterally through the first gear 8, so that the second moving platform 10 fixed on the first rack 9 slides on the second linear slide rail 6.

[0027] In this embodiment, cylinder 4 is mounted on the workbench 1, and the piston rod of cylinder 4 is connected to the first moving platform 5. The piston rod of cylinder 4 controls the sliding of the first moving platform 5 on the first linear slide rail 3 by extending and retracting, thereby adjusting the position of the first moving platform 5. Due to the extension and retraction of cylinder 4, the first moving platform 5 can make precise sliding adjustments on the track of the first linear slide rail 3, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the platform. During this process, other components on the first moving platform 5 will move accordingly to ensure the coordination of the overall system. In addition, a first motor 7 is provided on the first moving platform 5. This motor is connected to the first rack 9 through a first gear 8. When motor 7 starts, it drives the first gear 8 to move the first rack 9 laterally. Since the first rack 9 is fixed on the second moving platform 10, the action of the first motor 7 drives the second moving platform 10 during sliding. The second moving platform 10 slides on the second linear slide rail 6 via the guide rail, and the second linear slide rail 6 is fixed on the first moving platform 5. Thus, under the action of the first motor 7, the second moving platform 10 will slide in a direction perpendicular to the first linear slide rail 3. This adjustment method makes the whole system more flexible in its control capabilities, able to adapt to various different work requirements, and ensures high precision and flexibility in operation.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 6 As a further embodiment of this utility model, the adhesive patch includes a second motor 11 mounted on the second moving platform 10 and a guide rod 12 fixed on the output shaft of the second motor 11. The guide rod 12 is in tangential contact with the side of the self-adhesive fabric 13 away from the adhesive backing. When the second motor 11 is activated, it drives the guide rod 12 to rotate.

[0029] In this embodiment, the second motor 11 is mounted on the second moving platform 10. After its start-up, it drives the guide rod 12 to rotate. The rotation of the guide rod 12 maintains tangential contact with the non-adhesive side of the self-adhesive fabric 13. In this way, a stable contact is formed between the guide rod 12 and the self-adhesive fabric 13, ensuring that the self-adhesive fabric 13 can be smoothly transferred throughout the process. The rotation of the guide rod 12 allows the self-adhesive fabric 13 to be laid evenly and make smooth contact with the surface of the packaging material 22. When the packaging material 22 is adjusted by lifting or lowering, the cooperation between the guide rod 12 and the self-adhesive fabric 13 can effectively ensure the adhesion of the fabric to the surface of the packaging material 22. To achieve a seamless bonding effect and avoid irregular wrinkles, the self-adhesive fabric 13 is precisely placed between the guide rod 12 and the packaging material 22 throughout the process. Due to the rotation of the guide rod 12, it can evenly and tightly adhere the self-adhesive fabric 13 to the adhesive surface of the packaging material 22. The bonding process of the self-adhesive fabric 13 is smooth and efficient, ensuring that the fabric can adhere tightly to the surface of the packaging material 22 without wrinkles or bubbles caused by uneven tension or loose fabric. This precise control design ensures that the self-adhesive fabric 13 has a high bonding quality during the bonding process, while greatly reducing the time and cost of readjustment due to improper fabric laying.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As a further embodiment of this utility model, the conductive component includes a rotating frame 15 symmetrically fixed on the workbench 1 and a guide roller 14 rotatably connected between the two rotating frames 15. The guide roller 14 is in tangential contact with the side of the self-adhesive fabric 13 away from the adhesive backing, and the guide roller 14 is used to conduct tension on the self-adhesive fabric 13.

[0031] In this embodiment, the guide roller 14 between the two rotating frames 15 maintains tangential contact with the non-adhesive side of the self-adhesive fabric 13 through its rotation. In this process, the guide roller 14 plays a key role in helping the self-adhesive fabric 13 remain flat during bonding. When the self-adhesive fabric 13 is stretched during transport and laying, the guide roller 14 can effectively guide the fabric to ensure a smooth transition and uniform stretching, avoiding wrinkles or creases on the surface of the self-adhesive fabric 13 due to uneven stretching. This design ensures that the fabric will not only avoid irregular wrinkles during stretching and bonding, but also maintain the smoothness and flatness of the surface of the self-adhesive fabric 13, allowing the fabric to perfectly bond to the target surface.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As a further embodiment of this utility model, the lifting component includes a mounting frame 16 fixed on the workbench 1, a third motor 17 mounted on the mounting frame 16, a second gear 18 fixed on the output shaft of the third motor 17, and a guide mechanism mounted on the workbench 1; the third motor 17 drives the second gear 18 to rotate, and the second gear 18 is connected to the guide mechanism.

[0033] The guiding mechanism includes a third linear slide rail 21 fixed on the workbench 1 at one end of the movable groove 2, a third moving platform 20 sliding on the third linear slide rail 21, and a second rack 19 fixed on the third moving platform 20; the second rack 19 meshes with the second gear 18, the second rack 19 is adjusted in height within the movable groove 2, and the second rack 19 is connected to the packaging material 22.

[0034] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the third linear slide rail 21 is firmly fixed to the worktable 1, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the entire system. Above it, the third moving platform 20 slides smoothly along the third linear slide rail 21. The third moving platform 20 is firmly connected to the second rack 19, and the second rack 19 is precisely meshed with the second gear 18. When the third motor 17 is driven by the mounting bracket 16, the height of the third motor 17 is limited, ensuring the normal operating range of the third motor 17 and preventing it from exceeding the design limits. Through this design, the second gear 18 can effectively drive the second rack 19 to rise and fall, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the packaging material 2. 2. Precise control of lifting and lowering: During the lifting and lowering process of the packaging material 22, the bonding surface of the packaging material 22 always faces away from the second rack 19. As the second rack 19 rises and falls, the packaging material 22 also rises and falls accordingly within the movable groove 2. Through this lifting and lowering adjustment method, the bonding surface of the packaging material 22 can accurately contact the guide rod 12, thereby ensuring that the self-adhesive fabric 13 can be fully and evenly bonded to the bonding surface of the packaging material 22. The role of the guide rod 12 is crucial in this process. It provides stable guidance for the precise lifting and lowering of the packaging material 22, so that the packaging material 22 is always in an ideal state throughout the entire operation, avoiding unnecessary deviations and errors.

[0035] The above embodiments are exemplary and not restrictive. Therefore, without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model, any technical solutions that can be implemented in other specific forms are included in this utility model.
