[0026] Example: A flexible pressing device for automotive seat covers, such as... Figures 1-4As shown, the device includes a pressing frame 1, a movable plate 2 movably mounted on the inner wall of the pressing frame 1, a movable support 3 movably mounted on the bottom end of the movable plate 2, several joint bearings 4 movably mounted on the surface of the movable support 3, a pressing plate 5 movably mounted on the other side of the joint bearings 4, a flexible pressing module 6 movably mounted on the inner wall of the pressing plate 5, several cylinders 7 fixedly mounted on the top end of the movable plate 2, a piston rod 8 movably mounted on the top end of the pressing plate 5, the piston rod being connected to the cylinders 7 via pipelines, drive slide rails 9 fixedly mounted on both sides of the inner wall of the pressing frame 1, the drive slide rails 9 engaging with both sides of the movable plate 2, and support columns 10 fixedly mounted at the four corners of the bottom end of the pressing frame 1. Displacement sensors 11 are provided on the surface of the support columns 10, which can monitor the displacement during the pressing process in real time, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the pressing, realizing automated and intelligent pressing operation, improving production efficiency and product consistency, and meeting the diversified and high-quality requirements of automotive seat production.

[0027] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the movable bracket 3 is cylindrical, with a connecting bracket 12 fitted at its top. The top of the connecting bracket 12 is connected and fixed to the center of the bottom of the movable plate 2. Several connecting grooves 13 are formed on the surface of the movable bracket 3. The spherical bearing 4 includes two collar bearings 14, with a rotating rod 15 fixedly arranged between the collar bearings 14. The rotating rod 15 is composed of two pipe sections fitted together. The spherical bearing 4 on the surface of the movable bracket 3 consists of two collar bearings 14 and a telescopic rotating rod 15 in the middle, enabling the pressing plate 5 to achieve flexible rotation and displacement adjustment at multiple angles and directions. This design, combined with the movement of the movable plate 2 on the drive slide rail 9 and the extension and retraction of the piston rod 8 driven by the cylinder 7, allows the pressing plate 5 to accurately fit various complex-shaped car seat covers, solving the problem that traditional pressing devices cannot handle irregular curved surfaces.

[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the pressing plate 5 is an arc-shaped hollow shell. Several return springs 16 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the pressing plate 5. The other side of the return springs 16 is connected to the top of the flexible pressing template. A ball bearing 17 is engaged at the top of the pressing plate 5. The ball bearing 17 is connected and fixed to the piston rod 8. The flexible pressing module 6 is composed of multiple layers of flexible materials and includes, from top to bottom: a polyurethane elastic layer 18, a silicone buffer layer 19, and a wear-resistant surface layer 20. The return springs 16 installed on the inner wall of the pressing plate 5, together with the flexible pressing module 6, make the pressing process more flexible and have buffering performance. It can adapt to seat covers of different materials and thicknesses, greatly improving the quality and effect of pressing. Compared with traditional rigid pressing devices, it has significant advantages in protecting the cover material and improving pressing accuracy.

[0029] Working Principle: First, the car seat cover is placed in the appropriate position. Cylinder 7 is activated, and the piston rod 8 connected by the pipeline pushes the pressing plate 5 downward. The moving plate 2 descends smoothly in the vertical direction under the constraint of the drive slide rail 9 on the inner wall of the pressing frame 1. The joint bearing 4 on the movable bracket 3 allows the pressing plate 5 to adaptively adjust its angle and position according to the shape of the seat cover, ensuring that the pressing plate 5 fully fits the seat cover. The polyurethane elastic layer 18, silicone buffer layer 19, and wear-resistant surface layer 20 in the flexible pressing module 6 work together to protect the cover from damage while applying pressure. The return spring 16 provides buffering and reset during the pressing process. The displacement sensor 11 on the surface of the support column 10 monitors the displacement data in real time during the pressing process and feeds the data back to the control system. The control system adjusts the pressure of cylinder 7 and the stroke of piston rod 8 in a timely manner according to preset parameters to ensure that the pressing operation is completed accurately and stably, ultimately achieving high-quality flexible pressing of the car seat cover.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
