[0002] PET foam headliners are automotive interior components made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) foam. After molding, PET foam headliners typically require polishing machines to smooth and polish uneven areas to achieve the designed smoothness and finish. Current technology necessitates the use of different sized tools for polishing, given the complex shapes and varying characteristics of different parts of the headliner. Small tools are used for precise work on details, while larger tools are used for larger areas to improve efficiency. However, current polishing machines require frequent head changes, a time-consuming process involving specific steps. Especially when large-area polishing and detail work alternate, frequent head changes repeatedly interrupt the workflow, significantly reducing overall polishing efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that in the existing technology, the shape of the car roof after molding is complex and requires polishing with tools of different sizes. However, the existing polishing machines require frequent head changes, which is time-consuming and seriously affects the overall efficiency of alternating large-area and detailed processing.

[0025] Example
[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the PET foam car headliner direct molding surface treatment device proposed in this utility model includes a handheld polisher 1. A first grinding head 2 is movably connected to one end of the handheld polisher 1. The first grinding head 2 is used for large areas of the car headliner. A second grinding head 3 is located inside the first grinding head 2. The second grinding head 3 is used when the first grinding head 2 is too large to reach the designated area. A second grinding pad 301 is fixedly connected to the end of the second grinding head 3 away from the pinch rod 21, and a first grinding pad 24 is fixedly connected to the end of the first grinding head 2 away from the handheld polisher 1. Both the first grinding pad 24 and the second grinding pad 301 are made of sponge material. Because PET foam is relatively soft, and the sponge grinding pad has good flexibility and elasticity, it can conform well to the surface of the headliner. Different densities of sponge pads can be selected as needed to finely grind or remove minor surface imperfections without damaging the PET foam, achieving a better surface smoothness and gloss.
[0027] Among them, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first grinding head 2 is equipped with a manual-driven switch-return mechanism. The mechanism includes a slidably connected pinch rod 21 symmetrically arranged within the first grinding head 2. Each pinch rod 21 has a chamfered pinch head 22 at the end furthest from the second spring 34, which abuts against the hand. The chamfered pinch head 22 removes the sharp edges of the pinch rod 21, preventing fingers from being scratched by sharp edges during pressing and protecting the integrity of the finger skin. The second grinding head 3 has a pair of telescopic slots 31 at one end inserted into the first grinding head 2. The end of the second grinding head 3 near the telescopic slots 31 also has a pair of sliding slots 32 that hold the pinch rod 21. One of the telescopic slots 31 has a pair of positioning slots 33 inside. A locking block 210 that engages with the positioning slot 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the end of the pinch rod 21 near the sliding slot 32.
[0028] Secondly, such as Figure 4As shown, the operating mechanism also includes a second spring 34 disposed in the middle of the sliding slot 32. The second spring 34 allows the pair of pinch rods 21 to automatically return to their original positions after being pressed, so that the operation can be repeated. The two ends of the second spring 34 are fixedly connected to the ends of the corresponding pinch rods 21.
[0029] In addition, such as Figure 4 As shown, each end of the insert block 210 away from the pinch lever 21 is provided with a spherical head. The spherical head serves as a strength guide, allowing the insert block 210 to move smoothly and quickly when it is inserted into the positioning slot 33.
[0030] It is worth noting that, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a spring mechanism is installed inside the first grinding head 2 to automatically release the second grinding head 3 from the first grinding head 2. The spring mechanism includes a pair of first springs 23 disposed inside the first grinding head 2. The first springs 23 allow the second grinding head 3 to automatically release when it is not stuck inside the first grinding head 2, and the spring force of the first springs 23 is relatively large, thus ensuring that the second grinding head 3, after being released from the first grinding head 2, will not easily retract into the first grinding head 2 when subjected to the resisting force during operation. When the second grinding head 3 is pressed back into the first grinding head 2, it needs to be pressed with force (for example, by pressing the end of the second grinding head 3 against the ground, the first grinding head 2 will be pressed down by its own weight, which will cause the first springs 23 to retract). A pair of telescopic slots 31 and a first spring 23 are symmetrically arranged with the second spring 34 as the center. One end of the first spring 23 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the corresponding telescopic slot 31, and the other end of the first spring 23 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first grinding head 2. A pair of symmetrically arranged limiting slide grooves 25 are opened inside the first grinding head 2. A pair of limiting sliders 35 that are inserted into the limiting slide grooves 25 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second grinding head 3. The limiting sliders 35 slide by being inserted into the limiting slide grooves 25 to ensure that the second grinding head 3 has a stroke that is too long or too short when it comes out of the first grinding head 2.
[0031] In this embodiment, when using the PET foam car roof direct molding surface treatment device, after turning on the handheld polisher 1, the first polishing head 2 drives the first polishing pad 24 to rotate, thereby allowing the first polishing pad 24 to polish a large area of the car roof. When the first polishing pad 24 cannot polish due to its large contact area, simply press the chamfered pinch heads 22 at the ends of a pair of pinch rods 21 into the first polishing head 2, causing the pinch rods 21 to retract into the first polishing head 2. At this time, the ends of the pinch rods 21 drive the locking blocks 210 to disengage from the positioning slots 33, thereby preventing one end of the second polishing head 3 from being locked by the locking blocks 210. Immediately afterwards, the second polishing head 3 will be subjected to the elastic thrust of a pair of first springs 23, causing the second polishing head 3 to drive one end of the second polishing pad 301 out. Meanwhile, the second grinding head 3 will slide within the limiting groove 25 via a pair of limiting sliders 35 on its outer wall until the limiting sliders 35 slide to their limit and lock onto the inner wall of one end of the limiting groove 25. At this point, the first spring 23 tightly locks the second grinding head 3 and the second grinding pad 301, thereby polishing the areas of the car roof that the first grinding pad 24 cannot reach through the second grinding pad 301 at the end of the second grinding head 3. When it is necessary to use the first grinding pad 24 to polish the car roof again, the above operation can be reversed, which will not be elaborated here. You can use either the first grinding head 2 or the second grinding head 3 as needed, which is convenient and quick.

These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
