Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of custom fixtures for TOM molding, and in particular to a custom fixture for TOM molding of a sub-instrument panel. Background Technology

[0002] TOM forming custom fixtures are custom fixtures used for TOM forming machines. TOM forming technology is a process that can cover a thin film onto a 3D surface with a three-dimensional shape to beautify and coat the surface. It can be used as an alternative to painting and electroplating processes, eliminating the need for a large painting production line. With the continuous development of technology, people have increasingly higher requirements for the manufacturing process of TOM forming custom fixtures.

[0003] Existing TOM molding custom fixtures have certain drawbacks. First, they cannot perfectly fit the product during use, and the B-side structure is not damaged during molding, which is not conducive to user experience. In addition, they waste TOM diaphragms, which may develop holes, thus negatively impacting actual use. To address these issues, we propose a TOM molding custom fixture for the sub-instrument panel. Utility Model Content

The customized contouring fixture can perfectly fit the product without damaging the B-side structure during molding. The contouring edge of the fixture can control the amount of membrane stretching during TOM molding, thus controlling the stretching of the membrane texture. The reasonable arrangement of the product maximizes the number of pieces molded in a single molding, reducing the waste rate of TOM membranes. The shielding plate prevents the membrane in areas that do not require coating from being overstretched, preventing membrane tears. This effectively solves the problems in the background technology.
