Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat pressing technology, specifically a heat pressing tool for automotive headliner parts. Background Technology

[0002] As a key integrated functional component of vehicle interiors, the headliner's importance extends far beyond simply providing visual appeal to the interior space. It fulfills multiple core functions: aesthetically, the headliner is a core element in shaping the overall atmosphere and sense of quality within the vehicle; physically, its superior thermal insulation properties effectively block the transfer of external temperature, significantly optimizing the thermal management environment of the passenger compartment; simultaneously, this component possesses excellent acoustic performance, greatly reducing various noises entering the vehicle during driving through efficient sound absorption and insulation, significantly improving the quietness of the ride. The synergistic effect of these comprehensive performance characteristics ultimately creates a more comfortable, safe, and high-quality in-vehicle environment for passengers, making it an indispensable and crucial element in enhancing the overall vehicle riding experience.

[0003] After the main molding process is completed, automotive headliner components typically require heat-pressing labels onto specific surface locations for purposes such as product aesthetics, brand identification, or safety warnings. This process essentially utilizes heat activation to permanently fuse or transfer a pre-made label carrier to the headliner component's substrate surface through heating and pressure. Currently, the common operating procedure involves workers manually placing the imprinted label in the pre-defined target area on the headliner component using visual inspection or simple positioning tools, followed by operating a heating and pressurizing device to perform the heat-pressing action. However, this highly manual operation mode, which relies heavily on label positioning and placement, constitutes a major bottleneck in the process, hindering overall heat-pressing efficiency and exhibiting inherent limitations in positioning accuracy and operational consistency.

[0004] Based on this, a heat pressing fixture for automotive roof parts is now provided, which can eliminate the drawbacks of existing devices. Utility Model Content

The drive mechanism facilitates the movement of the support fixture 11, enabling heat-pressing processing at different locations on the upper end of the automotive headliner part. The transfer mechanism facilitates the continuous movement of different imprinting foils 27.

[0024] The adjusting frame 14 is provided with first threaded holes at both ends, and the bearing fixture 11 is provided with several second threaded holes at equal intervals at one end. The adjusting frame 14 is fixedly connected to the bearing fixture 11 by screws, so that the distance between the fixed seat 12 and the adjusting seat 13 can be adjusted when in use.

[0025] The driving mechanism includes a transmission belt 17, which is fitted inside the operating table 16. Symmetrical connecting blocks are provided at the upper end of the transmission belt 17, and each connecting block is fixedly connected to the bearing fixture 11. Drive rollers and transmission rollers are respectively fitted at both ends of the transmission belt 17. Rotating plates are rotatably mounted on the rotating shafts at both ends of the drive rollers and transmission rollers, and each rotating plate is fixedly mounted inside the bottom of the operating table 16. One rotating shaft of the drive roller is fixedly connected to the output end of a motor 19, which is fixedly mounted inside the operating table 16. The motor 19 is electrically connected to a control component 32, which is fixedly mounted on the operating table 16. In use, when it is necessary to heat-press labels onto the car roof panel, the position of the adjusting seat 13 is adjusted according to the length of the car roof panel. Then, the car roof panel is placed between the fixed seat 12 and the adjusting seat 13. The motor 19 is started by the control component 32, and the output end of the motor 19 drives the transmission belt 17 to rotate. The transmission belt 17 moves the car roof panel below the heat-pressing component 25 via the bearing fixture 11.

[0026] Both the drive roller and the transmission roller are provided with mounting grooves in the middle, and gears 18 are provided in the mounting grooves. A synchronous belt is provided on the inner side of the transmission belt 17 at the position corresponding to the gears 18, so that the bearing fixture 11 can maintain precise movement during use.

[0027] The transfer mechanism includes a sliding tube 21. Sliding tubes 21 are provided around the heat pressing component 25. One end of each sliding tube 21 is connected to a suction cup 20.

Both ends of the installation belt 28 are connected to an unfolding component and a winding component, respectively. In use, when heat pressing is required on an automotive roof panel, the supporting fixture 11 moves the automotive roof panel below the heat pressing component 25. Simultaneously, the unfolding component and the winding component work, causing the installation belt 28 to move the imprinting foil 27 until it is directly below the heat pressing component 25. Afterwards, the mounting belt 28 stops moving, and then the output end of the electric cylinder 26 drives the suction cup 20 and the pressing component 25 to move. After the suction cup 20 is tightly attached to the four sides of the imprinting foil 27, the external vacuum component controls the operation, so that several suction cups 20 fix the imprinting foil 27. Then the output end of the electric cylinder 26 continues to extend, so that the imprinting foil 27 separates from the mounting belt 28. Then the imprinting foil 27 first adheres tightly to the car roof. After the output end of the electric cylinder 26 continues to extend, the sliding tube 21 retracts, and then the pressing component 25 presses. After the pressing is completed, the suction cup 20 releases the fixation of the imprinting foil 27. Then the output end of the electric cylinder 26 drives the pressing component 25 and the suction cup 20 back to the initial position.

[0029] The above embodiment discloses a heat-pressing fixture for automotive headliner parts. The position of the adjusting seat 13 is adjusted according to the length of the automotive headliner part. The headliner part is then placed between the fixed seat 12 and the adjusting seat 13. The motor 19 is started by the control component 32. The output of the motor 19 drives the transmission belt 17 to rotate. The transmission belt 17, through the carrying fixture 11, moves the automotive headliner part below the heat-pressing component 25. Simultaneously, the unfolding component and the winding component work, causing the mounting belt 28 to move the imprinting foil 27. Once the imprinting foil 27 is directly below the heat-pressing component 25, the mounting belt 28 stops moving. Then, the electric cylinder... The output end of the electric cylinder 26 drives the suction cup 20 and the heat pressing component 25 to move. After the suction cup 20 is tightly attached to the embossing foil 27, the external vacuum component controls the operation, so that several suction cups 20 fix the embossing foil 27. Then the output end of the electric cylinder 26 continues to extend, so that the embossing foil 27 separates from the mounting belt 28. Then the embossing foil 27 first adheres tightly to the car roof. After the output end of the electric cylinder 26 continues to extend, the sliding tube 21 retracts. Then the heat pressing component 25 heats the foil. After the heat pressing is completed, the suction cup 20 releases the fixation of the embossing foil 27. Then the output end of the electric cylinder 26 drives the heat pressing component 25 and the suction cup 20 back to the initial position.
