Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive interior parts processing technology, specifically, it relates to a tooling for vacuum adsorption of interior parts. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive manufacturing industry, the quality and installation precision of interior components play a crucial role in the overall quality of the product and the user experience. The interior component wrapping process, as a key link, aims to give the interior components a beautiful and comfortable surface material. The prerequisite for achieving this process is to ensure that the interior components can be stably and accurately positioned during the wrapping process.

[0003] Traditional methods of fixing interior trim parts often use mechanical clamps. However, these clamps may leave marks or cause localized deformation on the surface of the trim parts, which is a serious drawback for some trim parts that require extremely high surface quality. As the manufacturing industry continues to demand higher production efficiency and product quality, vacuum adsorption technology is gradually being applied in the field of fixing interior trim parts.

[0004] Most existing vacuum adsorption fixtures have a simple structure and are usually equipped with only one adsorption mold. When different sizes of interior parts need to be processed, it is still necessary to stop the machine and disassemble and replace the adsorption mold. This not only interrupts the production process and reduces production efficiency, but also the sealing performance of the vacuum system may be affected during the replacement process, requiring re-adjustment and testing, which further increases production preparation time and cost. To address this, we propose a fixture for vacuum adsorption of interior parts. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A tooling for vacuum adsorption of interior trim parts includes a support platform, a fixing frame, and two adsorption molds. A vacuum pump is installed near one side of the bottom of the support platform, and a vacuum chamber is opened at the top of the support platform. A vacuum tube is connected to the input end of the vacuum pump. The vacuum tube passes through the bottom of the support platform and communicates with the vacuum chamber. A sealing gasket is installed at the top of the support platform. A connecting column is rotatably connected to the top of the support platform via a bearing seat. A screw is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting column via a bearing seat. The fixing frame is threaded onto the outer wall of the screw. A knob is installed at the top of the screw. An L-shaped connecting rod is installed on the outer wall of the connecting column. The L-shaped connecting rod movably passes through the fixing frame. The two adsorption molds are respectively engaged at both ends of the fixing frame. A fixing component for fixing the adsorption molds is provided on the fixing frame, and a limiting component for fixing the connecting column is provided on the support platform.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a shrinkage groove is provided at the top of the support platform, and a support cylinder is inserted into the shrinkage groove. A spring is fixedly connected between the bottom end of the support cylinder and the bottom end of the inner wall of the shrinkage groove. Ball bearings are movably embedded at the bottom ends of the two adsorption molds. A rolling groove is provided at the top of the support cylinder, and the ball bearings are tumblingly connected to the rolling groove. By setting the ball bearings and the support cylinder, the friction between the two sets of adsorption molds and the support platform can be reduced when switching between uses, thereby improving the flexibility of switching.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a limiting rod is installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the shrinkage groove. The limiting rod is inserted into the rod groove opened at the bottom of the support cylinder. The spring surrounds the outer wall of the limiting rod. By setting the limiting rod, the spring can be limited to ensure the stability of the spring during compression.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, limiting slide plates are installed on the outer walls of both adsorption molds, and a second limiting slide groove is opened on the inner wall of the fixing frame. The second limiting slide plate is slidably connected to the second limiting slide groove. By setting the limiting slide plate, the adsorption mold can be limited, so that the adsorption mold can be fixed and slid on the fixing frame.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fixing component includes a pin rod that movably passes through the top of the fixing frame, and the limiting slide plate has a pin hole. The pin rod is inserted into the pin hole. By setting the pin rod, the pin rod can be inserted into the pin hole, thereby fixing the adsorption mold.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the limiting component includes a turntable and a locking plate. The turntable is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting column. A locking groove is opened on the outer wall of the turntable, and the locking plate is locked in the locking groove. The locking plate is slidably connected to the top of the support platform. By setting the locking plate, the locking plate can be locked into the locking groove, thereby limiting the turntable and fixing the connecting column.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a limiting slider is installed at the bottom of the card plate, and a limiting groove is formed at the top of the support platform. The limiting slider is slidably connected to the limiting groove. A limiting rod is installed on the inner wall of the limiting groove. The limiting rod passes through the limiting slider. A spring is surrounded on the outer wall of the limiting rod. The spring is installed between the front of the limiting slider and the inner wall of the limiting groove. By setting the limiting rod, the limiting slider and the spring can be limited, ensuring the stability of the limiting slider when sliding and the spring when compressed.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0014] This invention features two sets of adsorption molds, allowing for easy switching between different interior trim parts when they need to be adsorbed and fixed, eliminating the need for disassembly and replacement of the adsorption molds.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a tooling for vacuum adsorption of interior trim parts, including a support platform 1, a fixing frame 9, and two adsorption molds 6. A vacuum pump 3 is installed near one side of the bottom of the support platform 1, and a vacuum chamber 5 is opened at the top of the support platform 1. A vacuum tube 4 is connected to the input end of the vacuum pump 3. The vacuum tube 4 passes through the bottom of the support platform 1 and is connected to the vacuum chamber 5. A sealing gasket 2 is installed at the top of the support platform 1. A connecting column 7 is rotatably connected to the top of the support platform 1 through a bearing seat. A screw 8 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting column 7 through a bearing seat. The fixing frame 9 is threaded onto the outer wall of the screw 8. A knob 10 is installed at the top of the screw 8. An L-shaped connecting rod 12 is installed on the outer wall of the connecting column 7. The L-shaped connecting rod 12 movably passes through the fixing frame 9. The two adsorption molds 6 are respectively engaged at both ends of the fixing frame 9. A fixing component for fixing the adsorption molds 6 is provided on the fixing frame 9, and a limiting component for fixing the connecting column 7 is provided on the support platform 1.

[0028] Furthermore, a shrinkage groove 17 is provided at the top of the support platform 1, and a support cylinder 14 is inserted into the shrinkage groove 17. A spring 19 is fixedly connected between the bottom end of the support cylinder 14 and the bottom end of the inner wall of the shrinkage groove 17. A ball bearing 15 is movably embedded at the bottom of both adsorption molds 6. A rolling groove 16 is provided at the top of the support cylinder 14, and the ball bearing 15 is tumblingly connected to the rolling groove 16.

[0029] By setting the ball bearing 15 and the support cylinder 14, the friction between the two sets of adsorption molds 6 and the support platform 1 during conversion can be reduced, thereby improving the conversion flexibility.

[0030] Furthermore, a limiting rod 18 is installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the shrinkage groove 17. The limiting rod 18 is inserted into the rod groove opened at the bottom of the support cylinder 14, and the spring 19 surrounds the outer wall of the limiting rod 18.

[0031] Among them, by setting the limit rod 18, the spring 19 can be limited, ensuring the stability of the spring 19 during compression.

[0032] Furthermore, the outer walls of both adsorption molds 6 are equipped with limiting slide plates 27, and the inner wall of the fixing frame 9 is provided with limiting slide grooves 28, and the limiting slide plates 27 and the limiting slide grooves 28 are slidably connected.

[0033] The limiting slide plate 27 can limit the adsorption mold 6, allowing the adsorption mold 6 to slide in a fixed position on the fixed frame 9.

[0034] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a pin 29, which moves through the top of the fixing frame 9, and a pin hole 13 is provided on the limiting slide plate 27, in which the pin 29 is inserted.

[0035] The adsorption mold 6 can be fixed by setting a pin 29 that can be inserted into the pin hole 13.

[0036] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a turntable 20 and a locking plate 22. The turntable 20 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting column 7. A locking groove 21 is opened on the outer wall of the turntable 20. The locking plate 22 is locked in the locking groove 21 and is slidably connected to the top of the support platform 1.

[0037] The card plate 22 is designed to fit into the slot 21, thereby limiting the position of the turntable 20 and fixing the connecting column 7.

[0038] Furthermore, a limiting slider 23 is installed at the bottom of the card plate 22, and a limiting groove 24 is opened at the top of the support platform 1. The limiting slider 23 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 24. A limiting rod 25 is installed on the inner wall of the limiting groove 24. The limiting rod 25 moves through the limiting slider 23. A spring 26 surrounds the outer wall of the limiting rod 25. The spring 26 is installed between the front of the limiting slider 23 and the inner wall of the limiting groove 24.

[0039] The limiting rod 25 can limit the limiting slider 23 and the spring 26, ensuring the stability of the limiting slider 23 when sliding and the spring 26 when compressed.

[0040] The implementation principle of a tooling for vacuum adsorption of interior trim parts is as follows: In use, the adsorption mold 6 is designed with a variety of grooves and protrusions according to the shape and size of common interior trim parts to better fit the contour of the interior trim parts, and it is provided with multiple vacuum adsorption holes inside. Then, the interior trim parts are placed on the adsorption mold 6, and then the vacuum pump 3 is started. The vacuum pump 3 draws a vacuum into the vacuum chamber 5 through the vacuum tube 4, so that the vacuum chamber 5 stably adsorbs the interior trim parts on the adsorption mold 6 through the multiple vacuum adsorption holes on the adsorption mold 6.

[0041] When it is necessary to adsorb and fix interior parts of different specifications, the knob 10 can be turned to drive the screw 8 to rotate. The screw 8 drives the fixing frame 9 to move upward. At this time, the support cylinder 14 will extend out of the shrink groove 17 under the reset force of the spring 19, so that the fixing frame 9 drives the adsorption mold 6 to detach from the surface of the support table 1. Then, the clamping plate 22 is pulled outward, so that the clamping plate 22 drives the limiting slider 23 to compress the spring 19, so that the clamping plate 22 is disengaged from the slot 21, so that the clamping plate 22 no longer limits the turntable 20. Then, the fixing frame 9 can be directly rotated to drive another adsorption mold 6 of different specifications to rotate directly above the vacuum chamber 5. Then, the clamping plate 22 is released. At this time, the limiting slider 23 will drive the clamping plate 22 to engage in the slot 21 under the reset force of the spring 26. The connecting column 7 is limited and fixed by the turntable 20, and then the knob 10 is rotated in the opposite direction to make the fixing frame 9 drive the adsorption mold 6 to make tight contact with the sealing gasket 2 at the top of the support table 1 again. Then, the corresponding interior part is placed on the adsorption mold 6, and the vacuum pump 3 is started to adsorb and fix the interior part. With the above structure, two sets of adsorption molds 6 are set up, which makes it easy for personnel to switch between them when different interior parts need to be adsorbed and fixed, without having to disassemble and replace the adsorption molds 6. This greatly improves the efficiency of fixing different interior parts, thereby improving the processing efficiency of interior parts. In addition, by setting the ball bearing 15 and the support cylinder 14, the friction between the two sets of adsorption molds 6 and the support table 1 can be reduced when switching between them, improving the flexibility of switching and making it highly practical.
