[0002] Automotive interior panels are an important component of the vehicle's interior space, encompassing key components such as the dashboard, door panels, seat trim, and center console. Their design, materials, and manufacturing processes directly affect the comfort of passengers and the overall quality of the vehicle. In the manufacturing process of interior panels, a hot-pressing mold is typically used to heat-press sound insulation cotton and interior panel covers. For example, patent CN220681585U discloses an aviation interior panel press, in which the sheet material to be pressed is placed on top of a heating element, and a hydraulic cylinder is activated to move a second heating element downwards until it closes with the first heating element, thus hot-pressing the sheet material. However, while the aforementioned patent can achieve the hot-pressing operation, it lacks a component to isolate the heating element from the operator during hot pressing, potentially leading to accidental contact with the heating element and the risk of burns or crushing injuries from the mold. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a hot-pressing mold for automotive interior panel covers to address these issues. It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of this application and therefore may contain information that does not constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0022] To make the contents of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a thermoforming mold for automotive interior trim panels, including a worktable 1 placed on a flat surface. A mold assembly 3 is mounted on the worktable 1, which is suitable for thermoforming the interior trim panel. Specifically:

[0024] The mold assembly 3 includes a base 32 fixedly installed on the top of the workbench 1. A lower mold 36 is detachably installed on the base 32 to facilitate the placement of interior cover panels and sound insulation cotton to be processed. Multiple sets of support columns 31 are fixedly installed on the top of the base 32. A fixing plate 34 is fixedly installed on the top of the multiple sets of support columns 31. A hydraulic cylinder 341 is provided on the fixing plate 34.

[0025] An mounting plate 33 is fixedly installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 341. The mounting plate 33 is slidably mounted on the support column 31, and an upper mold 35 is detachably installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 33. The upper mold 35 is located above the lower mold 36.

[0026] Then, driven by the hydraulic cylinder 341, the mounting plate 33 slides downward in the vertical direction, and simultaneously drives the upper mold 35 to move, so that it can perform mold closing operation with the lower mold.

[0027] Both the upper mold 35 and the lower mold 36 are equipped with circulation pipes 37. The two ends of the circulation pipes 37 can be connected to external heating equipment. Under the drive of the heating equipment, heating medium is circulated into the circulation pipes 37 to heat the upper mold 35 and the lower mold 36. Thus, when the molds are closed, the interior cover and sound insulation cotton to be processed are hot-pressed and formed.

[0028] Isolation components 2 are provided on all four sides of the base 32, which are suitable for separating the workers from the mold assembly 3;

[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the isolation assembly 2 includes two sets of vertical plates 23 fixedly installed on one side of the base 32. A rotating rod 25 is rotatably installed on one set of vertical plates 23. A first gear 24 is fixedly sleeved on one end of the rotating rod 25. The first gear 24 is located on one side of the vertical plate 23, and a first rack 22 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 33. The first rack 22 and the first gear 24 are meshed together.

[0030] In the initial state, the first rack 22 is located above the first gear 24 and is separated from the first gear 24. When the mounting plate 33 moves downward, it synchronously drives the first rack 22 to move downward and mesh with the first gear 24, thereby driving the first gear 24 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 25 to rotate.

[0031] A second gear 212 is fixedly sleeved at the other end of the rotating rod 25. The second gear 212 is located on the other side of the vertical plate 23. A slide rail 29 is fixedly installed on both sets of vertical plates 23. A slider 291 is slidably arranged on the slide rail 29. A guard plate 21 is fixedly installed on both sets of sliders 291. A connecting block 210 is fixedly installed on the side of the guard plate 21 near the slide rail 29. A second rack 211 is fixedly installed on the connecting block 210. The second rack 211 meshes with the second gear 212.

[0032] In the initial state, the upper end of the second rack 211 is meshed with the second gear 212. When the first rack 22 drives the rotating rod 25 to rotate through the first gear 24, it simultaneously drives the second rack 211 to move upward through the second gear 212, thereby driving the slide plate to move upward on the slide rail 29. This enables the base 32 to be shielded when the upper mold 35 and the lower mold 36 are closed, thus isolating the workers and the mold assembly 3 and preventing workers from accidentally touching the mold assembly 3 and getting burned or crushed by the mounting plate 33. Moreover, the cooperation of the gear and rack makes the movement of the guard plate 21 and the upper mold 35 more synchronized.

[0033] Continue to refer to Figure 3 Two sets of straight rods 27 are slidably arranged at the bottom end of the guard plate 21. A base 26 is provided at the bottom of the straight rod 27. The base 26 is in contact with the ground. A spring 28 is provided between the base 26 and the bottom end of the guard plate 21. The spring 28 is sleeved on the straight rod 27 so as to avoid the guard plate 21 from making hard contact with the ground when the guard plate 21 is reset, so as to buffer the guard plate 21.

[0034] In summary, during use, the interior trim cover and sound insulation cotton to be processed are placed on the lower mold 36, the hydraulic cylinder 341 is activated, and the mounting plate 33 and the upper mold 35 are moved downwards, thereby performing a mold closing operation with the lower mold 36. At the same time, the first rack 22 moves downwards synchronously and meshes with the first gear 24 to drive the rotating rod 25 to rotate, thereby driving the second gear 212 to rotate, thereby driving the guard plate 21 to move upwards through the second rack 211 to cover the four sides of the base 32.

[0035] After the mold is closed, the base 32 is blocked by the protective plate 21 to isolate the workers. The heating equipment is started and the upper mold 35 and lower mold 36 are heated through two sets of circulation pipes 37. Then the interior cover and sound insulation cotton are hot-pressed and formed. After the processing is completed, the hydraulic cylinder 341 is reset, which drives the upper mold 35 to reset and simultaneously drives the protective plate 21 to reset. At this time, the base 26 can buffer the protective plate 21 to prevent the protective plate 21 from making hard contact with the ground.

[0036] It should be noted that sensors can also be installed on the upper end of the guard plate 21 and the mounting plate 33. These sensors can be connected to the PLC system. When there is an obstruction between the guard plate 21 and the mounting plate 33 (i.e., when part of the worker's limbs are located between the mounting plate 33 and the base 32), the sensor will be triggered, thereby preventing the PLC from controlling the hydraulic cylinder 341 to start, further improving safety.

[0037] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
