Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of activation equipment, and in particular to an activation equipment for automotive interior processing. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry in recent years, the quality control of automotive interior parts has received increasing attention from the market. Automotive interiors mainly refer to automotive products used for interior modification, involving various parts of the car, such as car seat cushions, soft-touch materials, floor mats, and car accessories. Automotive interiors are mainly composed of a base (mother part) and an outer leather or fabric covering (child part). During production, the base and the leather or fabric covering need to be heated using activation equipment to activate the adhesive on the base, thus enabling heat-melt bonding.

[0003] Traditional activation equipment typically heats the entire working surface of the surface to be heated, while areas that do not require heating or have low heating requirements consume heating power. This results in a low heating rate and poor targeting, and the temperature can easily be affected by heat loss. In addition, traditional activation equipment has a slow cooling speed and is prone to generating static electricity, which can cause pulling on the product surface when the silicone film detaches, thus affecting product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the fact that in the existing technology, the activation equipment heats the whole, and the heating power is occupied in areas that do not need heating or have low heating requirements, resulting in a low heating rate and weak targeting. It is also easy to affect the surrounding temperature due to temperature loss, and the cooling speed is slow and static electricity is easy to be generated. When the silicone film is detached, it pulls on the product surface, which will affect the product quality. Therefore, this utility model provides an activation equipment for automotive interior processing.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an activation device for automotive interior processing, comprising:

[0006] The frame is equipped with supports for placing the female parts to be bonded;

[0007] A lifting mechanism includes: a driving component, a sliding pair, and a pressing frame assembly. The sliding pair is disposed on the frame along a first direction. The pressing frame assembly is connected to the frame via the sliding pair. The pressing frame assembly is connected to the output end of the driving component. The pressing frame assembly includes a detachable first frame and a second frame. The first frame and the second frame are connected by a locking component. An interval space for accommodating the sub-component to be glued is formed between the first frame and the second frame.

[0008] An activation mechanism includes: a heating component disposed on one side of the sub-part to be bonded, the size of the heating component being adapted to the size of the sub-part to be bonded, and the heating component including multiple independently arranged heating lamps;

[0009] The static eliminator is located on the periphery of the frame.

[0010] The frame is provided with a support frame, and the driving component is detachably installed on the support frame. There are multiple driving components, and the output ends of the multiple driving components are all connected to the pressure frame assembly.

[0011] The first frame includes a first abutting part and a first mating part, which are connected. The first abutting part has a groove for fitting the sub-part to be bonded.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second frame includes a second abutting part, a second mating part, and a protrusion. The second abutting part and the second mating part are connected, and the first mating part and the second mating part are connected by a locking member. The size of the protrusion is adapted to the groove.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the heating assembly includes a plurality of heating lamps spaced apart along a first direction, each of the heating lamps extending along a second direction.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the heating lamp includes a heating lamp and a lampshade, the lampshade being connected to the pressure frame assembly, the heating lamp being disposed inside the lampshade, and the lampshade having an opening facing the sub-component to be bonded.

[0015] In one embodiment of this utility model, the position of the lampshade relative to the pressure frame assembly along the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction is adjustable.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present invention, the frame pressing assembly is provided with a first bracket, the first bracket is equipped with a positioning rod extending along a first direction, the lampshade is installed at the end of the positioning rod, and the first bracket is movably disposed on the frame pressing assembly along a second direction or a third direction.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, the pressure frame assembly is fixedly connected to a second bracket along a first direction, and the first bracket is movably disposed on the second bracket along a second or third direction.

[0018] The frame is also equipped with multiple static elimination components, which are respectively located on both sides of the frame.

[0019] The above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0020] This utility model discloses an activation device for automotive interior processing. A support member is used to place the parent component to be bonded, such as the automotive interior panel itself. A drive component moves a pressure frame assembly along a third direction, bringing the sub-component to be bonded closer to and pressing it against the parent component. A heating component heats the adhesive between the parent and sub-components to reach the activation temperature, enabling the adhesive to bond the parent and sub-components with the set target properties. The pressure frame assembly secures the sub-component, such as automotive interior panel material or fabric, placing it in the space between the first and second frames. A locking component connects the first and second frames as a whole, keeping the sub-component taut. This design allows for flexible adjustment of the heating tube radiation effect in the heating zone, resulting in a higher heating rate, more targeted heating, reduced temperature loss, less impact on ambient temperature, and rapid cooling. Airflow enhancement combined with an anti-static device reduces wind noise and promotes environmentally friendly cooling. After anti-static removal, there is no pulling or detachment of the silicone film from the product surface, ensuring product quality. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0031] Example

[0032] Reference Figures 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides an activation device for automotive interior processing, comprising:

[0033] The frame 1 is provided with a support 2 for placing the female part to be bonded;

[0034] The lifting mechanism includes: a driving component 5, a sliding pair, and a pressing frame assembly. The sliding pair is disposed on the frame 1 along a first direction (i.e., the up-down direction). The pressing frame assembly is connected to the frame 1 through the sliding pair. The pressing frame assembly is connected to the output end of the driving component 5. The pressing frame assembly includes a detachable first frame and a second frame. The first frame and the second frame are connected by a locking component 12. An interval space for accommodating the sub-component to be glued is formed between the first frame and the second frame.

[0035] The activation mechanism includes: a heating component 11, which is disposed on one side of the sub-part to be bonded, the size of the heating component 11 being adapted to the size of the sub-part to be bonded, and the heating component 11 including a plurality of independently disposed heating lamps 15;

[0036] The static eliminator is located on the periphery of the frame.

[0037] The present invention discloses an activation device for automotive interior processing. A support member 2 is used to place the parent component to be bonded, such as the automotive interior body. A pressure frame assembly is used to fix the child component to be bonded, such as the automotive interior surface or fabric, so that the child component to be bonded is laid in the space between the first frame and the second frame. A locking member 12 connects the first frame and the second frame as a whole, keeping the child component 13 taut. A driving member 5 moves the pressure frame assembly along a third direction, bringing the child component closer to and pressing it against the parent component. A heating member 11 heats the adhesive between the parent component and the child component, raising the adhesive temperature to the activation temperature, thereby enabling the adhesive to bond the parent component and the child component 13 with the set target performance.

[0038] The frame 1 is provided with a support frame 16, and the driving components 5 are detachably installed on the support frame 16. There are multiple driving components 5, and the output ends of multiple driving components 2 are all connected to the pressure frame assembly. The support frame 16 is located in the middle of the frame 1, which can raise the height of the driving components 5 to match the height of the support components 2. There are four driving components 5, and the four driving components 5 and the support frame 16 are respectively located at the four corners of the frame 1, forming a rectangular array layout to ensure that the driving force is evenly applied to the pressure frame assembly. The output end of each driving component 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure frame assembly through a connecting flange. In some optional embodiments, guide posts and guide sleeve structures can also be provided between the pressure frame and the frame 1 to increase the displacement accuracy of the pressure frame assembly when moving up and down. The sliding pair includes a slide rail and a slider. The slide rail is set in the frame along the height direction, and the slider is slidably connected to the slide rail and connected to the pressure frame assembly. In some embodiments, a rectifier fan is also provided. The fan layout can be directed towards the product to be heated, or parallel to the space between the plane of the frame assembly and the planes of multiple products to be heated, thereby forming an airflow enhancement effect.

[0039] Reference Figures 6-7 As shown, the first frame includes a first abutting portion 23 and a first mating portion 19, which are connected. The first abutting portion 23 has a groove 22 for fitting the sub-part to be bonded. The first abutting portion 23 and the first mating portion 19 are fixedly connected by integral molding or welding to form an L-shaped or stepped cross-section structure. The first abutting portion 23 is the inner edge of the rectangular frame, and its surface facing the sub-part 13 to be bonded has a groove 22. The cross-sectional shape of the groove 22 can be rectangular, trapezoidal, dovetail, or arc-shaped. An arc-shaped groove 22 is used as an example. The working surface of the abutting portion can be treated with anti-slip treatment, such as knurling, sandblasting, or applying anti-slip strips, to increase the friction between it and the sub-part and prevent slippage during clamping. The first mating portion 19 is used to connect with the second frame through a locking member 12 to form a complete pressure frame assembly. Since the sub-part 13 to be bonded is made of leather or fabric, it can be bent and deformed to fit the groove 22, increasing the friction.

[0040] Reference Figures 6-7 As shown, the second frame includes a second abutment portion 18, a second mating portion 21, and a protrusion 17. The second abutment portion 18 and the second mating portion 21 are connected, and the first mating portion 19 and the second mating portion 21 are connected by a locking member 12. The size of the protrusion 17 is adapted to the groove 22. The second abutment portion 18 is disposed opposite to the first abutment portion 23 of the first frame, together forming a working surface for clamping the sub-part to be bonded. The locking member 12 includes, but is not limited to, bolts, quick clamps, quick snaps, etc. The second mating portion 21 is connected to the first mating portion 19 of the first frame by the locking member 12, forming the overall frame of the pressure frame assembly. The protrusion 17 is embedded in the groove 22 of the first frame, and cooperates with the groove 22 to clamp the edge of the sub-part 13 to be bonded. The protrusion 17 and the groove 22 are disposed vertically and vertically, consistent with the locking direction of the locking member 12. When the first frame and the second frame are connected by the locking member 12, the protrusion 17 is inserted into the groove 22 of the first frame, forming an upper and lower clamping structure. There are multiple locking elements 12, which are respectively set on the periphery of the pressure frame assembly.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the heating assembly 11 includes a plurality of heating lamps 15 spaced apart along a first direction, each heating lamp 15 extending along a second direction. Each heating lamp 15 includes a heating lamp 15 and a lamp cover 14. The lamp cover 14 is connected to the pressure frame assembly, and the heating lamp 15 is disposed within the lamp cover 14. The lamp cover 14 has an opening facing the sub-component to be bonded. The first direction is left-right, and the second direction is front-back. The heating lamp 15 is preferably an infrared heating lamp 15. The lamp cover 14 is made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy, and its inner surface is anodized or polished. The lamp cover 14 is in a gradually expanding conical or horn shape, forming a radiation area. The opening faces the sub-component to be bonded, forming a reflective structure so that the adhesive on the parent component to be bonded can be uniformly heated. The position of the heating component is adjustable along the first, second, and third directions. The adjustment methods include, but are not limited to, sliding pairs, bolts, pins, or linear modules. That is, the lamp cover and pressure frame components are movably connected to the frame through sliding pairs or linear modules, or by configuring multiple pins or bolts and corresponding insertion holes or threaded holes to achieve adjustment of different positions, which can also achieve adjustment of the heating area.

[0042] Reference Figure 3As shown, the position of the lampshade 14 relative to the pressure frame assembly along the first, second, and third directions is adjustable. Through fine-tuning of its position in three-dimensional space, it can accurately adapt to sub-parts of different sizes and shapes to be bonded, thereby adjusting the radiation effect of the heating tube in the heating zone, resulting in a higher heating rate, stronger targeting, reduced temperature dissipation, and less impact on ambient temperature. This ensures that the heating area of ​​the heating component 11 is completely aligned with the outline of the sub-part, ensuring uniform heat distribution during the activation of the adhesive and avoiding local overheating or underheating caused by positional deviations. At the same time, it enhances the equipment's versatility in processing diverse interior parts, reduces tooling switching costs, and improves the flexibility and adaptation accuracy of the activation process.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the frame pressing assembly is provided with a first bracket 8, on which a positioning rod 4 extending along a first direction is mounted. The lampshade 14 is mounted on the end of the positioning rod 4. The first bracket 8 is movably mounted on the frame pressing assembly along a second or third direction. The positioning rod 4 extending vertically is mounted on the first bracket 8, and the lampshade 14 is fixed to the bottom end of the positioning rod 4, allowing its height to be adjusted along the first direction with the positioning rod 4. The frame pressing assembly is fixedly connected to a second bracket 7 along the first direction, and the first bracket 8 is movably mounted on the second bracket 7 along the second or third direction. Simultaneously, the first bracket 8 can move on the frame pressing assembly along the second direction (front-back direction) or the third direction (left-right direction), achieving fine-tuning of its position through guiding mechanisms such as the guide rail 10. This allows the lampshade 14 to be adjusted vertically via the positioning rod 4 and horizontally via the planar movement of the first bracket 8, thus achieving precise positioning in three-dimensional space and ensuring that the opening of the heating component 11 is completely aligned with the area to be heated of the component to be bonded. In fact, the sub-component 13 to be bonded is not in a planar state after it is fixed. The edge of the sub-component 13 to be bonded is curved with the shape of the first frame and the second frame, that is, it is curved along the first abutment 23 and the second abutment 18, which increases the fixing force of the frame and prevents the sub-component 13 to be bonded from falling off the frame assembly when pressure is applied.

[0044] Reference Figure 1As shown, the frame 1 is also equipped with multiple antistatic components 6, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the frame 1. The number of antistatic components 6 can be flexibly configured according to the size of the frame 1 and processing requirements, such as 2-4 sets symmetrically arranged. The antistatic components 6 can be in the form of electrostatic eliminator, negative pressure dust collection device, or ion air gun, etc., to remove dust, fiber debris, oil stains and other impurities from the surface of the mother part and daughter part 13 to be bonded before activation processing, so as to avoid foreign objects affecting the bonding effect of the adhesive after activation. The structure design distributed on both sides can realize all-round cleaning of the workpiece surface, which is especially suitable for simultaneous antistatic removal of large interior parts, ensuring the cleanliness of the bonding interface, improving the bonding reliability, and meeting the process requirements of high cleanliness environment for automotive interior processing, reducing the bonding failure rate caused by impurities. The frame 1 is also equipped with a temperature sensor to detect the temperature of the adhesive when the heating component 11 heats the adhesive, and stops heating when the set activation temperature is reached.

[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
