Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical technology, specifically referring to an automatic mattress base-forming mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The mattress mesh is the core support structure of the mattress, directly determining the product's support, durability, and mechanical properties. The mesh distributes body pressure through an array of springs, maintaining even pressure on the mattress and preventing localized sagging. The mattress underlayment process is essentially the assembly of the mesh; the L-shaped steel frame is riveted to the edge-reinforcing springs using a high-speed nailing machine, and the springs are connected in series using a spiral spring-threading machine to form an elastic whole. An automatic glue applicator applies glue to the seams of the mattress pockets, bonding it into shape.

[0003] Currently, a spring mattress frame fastening assembly, such as the one disclosed in CN220162718U, features an automated assembly with four fastening devices arranged in a square. This assembly is used for the automatic fastening of the spring mattress frame to the hard cotton felt layer, with the four devices moving horizontally synchronously along the square edge of the mattress. However, its positioning seat uses a double-sliding structure with the main body and seat aligned in the same direction, along with a four-bar linkage mechanism. Combined with springs and screws for buffer positioning, the multi-stage transmission leads to increased cumulative errors and inaccurate positioning. Furthermore, the four devices must move horizontally and fasten in a strictly synchronized manner; a malfunction in a single device can cause misalignment of the square fastening trajectory.

After the third lever arm 7 is in position, the drive motor 11 of the nail gun 14 unit starts, driving its gear shaft 12 to rotate. The gear shaft 12 meshes with the rack 9 fixed on the third lever arm 7. When the nail gun 14 unit moves near the target point, it aligns the front end of the pressing body 16 with the mattress frame and prepares to press it against the top wall of the mattress frame. A linear guide 18 and a fixed seat 19 located at one end of the linear guide 18 are fixedly connected to the base 13. A pressing seat 20 is slidably connected to the linear guide 18.
