Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts manufacturing technology, and in particular to a trim shaping tool. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of the automotive industry, modern cars are not only pursuing excellent performance, but also constantly raising their requirements for appearance. At the same time, consumers are also raising their requirements for the appearance of cars when purchasing them. This has led many car manufacturers to put forward higher requirements for the shape of the trim strips used on cars. That is, the trim strips usually need to be shaped before leaving the factory.

[0003] Research has found that currently, manufacturers typically have operators manually shape the trim strips during production, and after manual shaping, they need to use inspection tools to check whether the shaping effect meets the requirements.

[0004] This existing method of manually shaping decorative strips not only has high labor costs and poor product quality stability, but also increases the shaping operation cycle, resulting in low production efficiency. Furthermore, long-term operation can easily cause finger pain for operators, and the subsequent process of testing the shaped strips is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: This utility model discloses a new type of trim shaping fixture to solve the problems of low production efficiency, poor product quality stability and time-consuming and labor-intensive subsequent testing processes in the existing traditional technical solutions for trim shaping.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a trim shaping fixture, which includes a base plate and positioning members, contouring support bases and a first driving device, all disposed on the base plate. The positioning members and contouring support bases are respectively used to support the left and right ends of the positioning trim. The contouring block is disposed above the contouring support base, and the output end of the first driving device is used to drive the contouring block to move closer to or away from the contouring support base.

[0007] In the above-described technical solution of this utility model, a new trim shaping fixture is disclosed. This trim shaping fixture can use the positioning member on the substrate and the contour support to position the trim on the substrate, thereby facilitating the subsequent use of the first driving device to drive the contour block close to the contour support, so as to apply pressure to the trim end on the contour support and shape the trim end. After the shaping is completed, the first driving device can drive the contour block away from the contour support, thereby facilitating the next shaping operation.

[0008] In other words, the trim shaping fixture designed in this utility model can control the reciprocating movement of the contour block in the vertical height direction. At this time, the user can shape the end of the trim by cooperating with the contour block and the contour support. The reason for setting the contour block and the contour support to adopt the contour design is to better fit the outer contour of the trim end, so as to facilitate the positioning and support of the trim and improve the subsequent trim shaping effect, making the shaping amount more stable each time, ensuring that the trim shaping effect of the same batch of trim is consistent, and eliminating the need for additional inspection procedures to improve production efficiency.

[0009] Therefore, it can be seen that the trim shaping fixture of this utility model can effectively solve the problems of low production efficiency, poor product quality stability and time-consuming and labor-intensive subsequent inspection processes in the existing traditional technical solutions for trim shaping. It can improve the shaping quality and ensure that the shaping effect of the same batch of trims is consistent, and no additional inspection process is required afterward. It has good prospects for promotion and application value.

[0010] Furthermore, in the trim shaping fixture of this utility model, when the contour block is close to the contour support, it can form a shaping cavity with the contour support, and the shaping cavity is used to accommodate one end of the trim.

[0011] In the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, in order to ensure a better shaping effect at the end of the trim strip, both the contour block and the contour support are designed to conform to the shape. When the contour block is close to the contour support, it can form a shaping cavity with the contour support, thereby ensuring that one end of the trim strip can be shaped under pressure in the shaping cavity.

[0012] Furthermore, the trim shaping fixture described in this utility model also includes a clamping mechanism, which is disposed between the positioning member and the contour support base and is used to clamp the trim.

[0013] Furthermore, in the trim shaping fixture of this utility model, the clamping mechanism includes multiple clamping units, which are distributed along the length of the trim between the positioning member and the contour support.

[0014] In the above technical solution of this utility model, considering that the decorative strip shaping fixture designed in this utility model usually requires shaping relatively long decorative strips, and some decorative strips have a certain degree of flexibility due to their material properties, if the middle part of the decorative strip is not fixed and clamped, the stability of subsequent shaping may deteriorate due to the sagging of the middle area of ​​the decorative strip. Therefore, in this utility model, a clamping mechanism can also be provided between the positioning member and the contour support base, so as to use multiple clamping units of the clamping mechanism to clamp and support the middle area of ​​the decorative strip.

[0015] Furthermore, in the trim shaping fixture described in this utility model, at least one of the clamping units is adjacent to the contour support.

[0016] In the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, in order to ensure consistent stability during shaping, at least one clamping unit is required to be set up close to the contour support to clamp the trim strip, so as to ensure that the ends of the trim strips in the same batch are in the same posture when placed on the contour support, thereby improving consistency.

[0017] Furthermore, in the trim shaping fixture of this utility model, the clamping unit includes a clamping seat, a clamping block, and a second driving device. The output end of the second driving device is connected to the clamping block, and the clamping block and the clamping seat are arranged opposite to each other. The second driving device is used to drive the clamping block to move closer to or away from the clamping seat.

[0018] Furthermore, in the trim shaping fixture described in this utility model, the top of the positioning member is provided with a contour opening groove, and the contour opening groove has an opening on the side near the contour support base; wherein, the groove shape of the contour opening groove matches the outer contour of the end of the trim.

[0019] Furthermore, the trim shaping fixture described in this utility model also includes an adjuster, which is disposed on the substrate and is used to adjust the output power of the first driving device.

[0020] In the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, considering that there may be certain differences in the material of different batches of decorative strips, when facing the actual needs of shaping different batches of decorative strips, the operator can first adjust the output power of the first driving device through the adjuster on the substrate, so as to indirectly adjust the pressure value of the first driving device driving the above-mentioned shaping block to press down, so that the shaping amount can meet the product requirements.

[0021] Furthermore, the trim shaping fixture of this utility model also includes a first controller and a second controller. The first controller and the second controller are disposed on the substrate. The first controller is used to control the first driving device to drive the contour block closer to the contour support, and the second controller is used to control the first driving device to drive the contour block away from the contour support.

[0022] Furthermore, the trim shaping fixture of this utility model also includes a third controller, which is disposed on the substrate and spaced apart from the first controller and the second controller; wherein, when the first controller and the third controller are turned on simultaneously, the first driving device is controlled to drive the contour block closer to the contour support; when the second controller and the third controller are turned on simultaneously, the first driving device is controlled to drive the contour block away from the contour support.

[0023] The reason for setting a third controller in the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model is to ensure the safety of the operator during operation and control. That is, in actual application, the operator needs to press the third controller with one hand and press the first controller or the second controller with the other hand so that the first driving device of the above-mentioned trim shaping fixture will work, thereby effectively reducing the operator's operation risk.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The trim shaping fixture designed in this utility model can use the positioning parts on the substrate and the contour support to position the trim on the substrate. Then, the first driving device controls the contour block to move closer to the contour support, so that the contour block applies pressure to the end of the trim on the contour support and shapes the end of the trim. After the shaping is completed, the first driving device can drive the contour block away from the contour support, so as to facilitate the next shaping operation. It can be seen that this trim shaping fixture can effectively solve the problems of low production efficiency, poor product quality stability and time-consuming and labor-intensive subsequent inspection process in the existing traditional technical solutions for trim shaping. It can improve the shaping quality and ensure that the shaping effect of the same batch of trim is consistent. Moreover, no additional inspection process is required. It has good prospects for promotion and application value. Attached Figure Description

[0045] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a new trim shaping fixture, which can be effectively applied to the automotive trim production field. This trim shaping fixture can more easily and efficiently shape the trim 7 used in automobiles, thereby enhancing product stability, significantly improving production efficiency, and reducing the burden on workers.

[0047] In this utility model, the trim shaping fixture specifically includes: a base plate 1 and a positioning member 2, a contour support 3 and a first driving device 4 disposed on the base plate 1. The positioning member 2 and the contour support 3 are respectively used to support the left and right ends of the positioning trim 7. The output end of the first driving device 4 is provided with a contour block 5, which is disposed above the contour support 3 in the vertical height direction, so as to move closer to or away from the contour support 3 under the drive of the first driving device 4.

[0048] A key feature of this application is that, compared to traditional manual pressing and shaping of the decorative strip 7, the decorative strip shaping fixture designed in this invention uses the positioning element 2 and the contour support 3 on the base plate 1 to position the decorative strip 7 on the base plate 1. This facilitates the subsequent use of the first driving device 4 to drive the contour block 5, causing the contour block 5 to gradually approach the contour support 3. The contour block 5 then applies pressure to the decorative strip 7 positioned on the contour support 3, i.e., ... Figure 1 As shown, the end of the trim strip 7 is shaped; at this time, when the above-mentioned shaping process is completed, the first driving device 4 can also drive the contour block 5 away from the contour support 3, that is, drive the contour block 5 to reset, so that the operator can take out the trim strip 7 after shaping and facilitate the next shaping operation.

[0049] Based on this, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the trim shaping fixture can control the contour block 5 to reciprocate in the vertical direction, so as to shape the end of the trim 7 through the cooperation of the contour block 5 and the contour support 3. It should be emphasized that the contour block 5 and the contour support 3 are designed to better fit the outer contour of the end of the trim 7, so as to facilitate the positioning and support of the trim 7, and improve the subsequent shaping effect of the trim 7. This makes the shaping amount more stable each time, ensures that the shaping effect of the trim 7 in the same batch is consistent, and eliminates the need for subsequent inspection procedures.

[0050] Therefore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a contouring groove can also be provided on the contouring block 5 and / or the contouring support 3, so that when the contouring block 5 is close to the contouring support 3, the two match each other to form a shaping cavity, thereby ensuring that one end of the trim strip 7 can be shaped by pressure in the shaping cavity.

[0051] It should be noted that, see Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, in order to ensure that the positioning member 2 can effectively support the trim strip 7 and improve the installation stability of the trim strip 7, the top of the positioning member 2 of the trim strip shaping fixture is also provided with a contour opening groove 21. The contour opening groove 21 has an opening on the side near the contour support 3 so that one end of the trim strip 7 is placed in the direction opening groove, and the other end can extend out from the opening and extend towards the contour of the contour support 3; wherein, the groove shape of the contour opening groove 21 matches the outer contour of one end of the trim strip 7.

[0052] Accordingly, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, in order to ensure that the shape of the trim 7 is more stable during the shaping process and to improve the support effect of the trim 7, in this embodiment, a clamping mechanism is also provided on the base plate 1 of the trim shaping fixture. The clamping mechanism can be located between the positioning member 2 and the contour support 3 and is used to clamp and support the middle part of the trim 7.

[0053] Of course, such as Figure 4As shown, in practical applications, considering that the trim strips 7 used in automobiles are usually quite long, and some trim strips 7 may have a certain degree of flexibility due to their material properties, in order to improve shaping stability, in this embodiment, the clamping mechanism may specifically include multiple clamping units 6. For example, in this embodiment, two clamping units 6 are specifically provided. These clamping units 6 can be sequentially arranged between the positioning member 2 and the contour support 3 along the length direction of the trim strip 7, thereby clamping and supporting the trim strip 7 at multiple different positions. In this embodiment, in order to ensure consistent stability during shaping, a clamping unit 6 is also provided adjacent to the contour support 3 to clamp the trim strip 7, ensuring that the ends of the trim strips 7 in the same batch have the same posture when placed on the contour support 3, thus improving consistency.

[0054] To facilitate understanding of the clamping process of clamping unit 6 on trim strip 7, as follows: Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment, the specific structure of the clamping unit 6 is also disclosed. The clamping unit 6 specifically includes: a clamping seat 61, a clamping block 62, and a second driving device 63. The output end of the second driving device 63 is connected to the clamping block 62. The clamping block 62 and the clamping seat 61 are arranged opposite to each other, and the decorative strip 7 is specifically disposed on the clamping seat 61 and located between the clamping block 62 and the clamping seat 61. The top of the clamping seat 61 is provided with a U-shaped groove, that is, the decorative strip 7 can be disposed in the U-shaped groove of the clamping seat 61. The clamping block 62 can move closer to or away from the U-shaped groove of the clamping seat 61 under the drive of the second driving device 63.

[0055] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first driving device 4 and the second driving device 63 can be selected as cylinders, which are connected to an air source to facilitate more stable and reliable operation in environments such as factories. Of course, in some other embodiments, the first driving device 4 and the second driving device 63 can also be selected as other driving devices such as motors or hydraulic cylinders according to specific usage requirements. This utility model does not impose any special limitations on this, and operators can make reasonable selections according to the application situation.

[0056] In addition, it should be noted that, as Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, since the materials of different batches of trim strips 7 may vary, the required downward pressure for shaping different batches of trim strips 7 will differ. Therefore, in the trim strip shaping fixture designed in this utility model, an adjuster 8 is also provided on the base plate 1 to adjust the output power of the first driving device 4, thereby indirectly adjusting the pressure value of the first driving device 4 driving the contour block 5 downward, so that the shaping amount can meet the requirements of the product. In this embodiment, when the first driving device 4 is specifically selected as a cylinder, the adjuster 8 can also be selected as a pressure regulating valve to adjust the pressure output by the first driving device 4.

[0057] In addition, in this embodiment, to facilitate the use of the trim shaping fixture by the operator in different positions and scenarios, multiple supports 13 can be provided on the lower surface of the base plate 1 of the trim shaping fixture, so that the base plate 1 can be placed on a horizontal surface by multiple supports; at the same time, to facilitate the operator to move the trim shaping fixture, a handle 12 can be specifically provided on the upper surface of the base plate 1 of the trim shaping fixture, for example: Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a handle 12 can be provided at each of the left and right ends of the substrate 1, so that the operator can hold it with both hands to lift the trim shaping fixture.

[0058] Accordingly, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the control of the working state of the trim shaping fixture, a first controller 9 and a second controller 10 are specifically installed on the base plate 1 in the trim shaping fixture designed in this utility model. The first controller 9 is used to control the first driving device 4 to drive the contour block 5 closer to the contour support 3, and the second controller 10 is used to control the first driving device 4 to drive the contour block 5 away from the contour support 3.

[0059] Of course, to avoid the problem of the operator's fingers being squeezed by the shaping block 5 and the shaping support 3 due to operator error during the shaping of the trim 7, in this embodiment, a third controller 11 is also provided on the substrate 1, and the third controller 11 is spaced apart from the first controller 9 and the second controller 10; and only when the first controller 9 and the third controller 11 are turned on at the same time will the first driving device 4 be controlled to drive the shaping block 5 closer to the shaping support 3, that is, the shaping block 5 moves downward in the vertical height direction to apply downward pressure to the trim 7 on the shaping support 3 and perform shaping; only when the second controller 10 and the third controller 11 are turned on at the same time will the first driving device 4 be controlled to drive the shaping block 5 away from the shaping support 3, that is, the shaping block 5 moves upward in the vertical height direction to perform resetting.

[0060] In other words, during actual operation, the operator needs to press the third controller 11 with one hand and the first controller 9 or the second controller 10 with the other hand before the first drive device 4 of the above-mentioned trim shaping fixture will work, thus avoiding possible injury.

[0061] Therefore, see Figures 1-6 When using the trim shaping fixture designed in this utility model to shape the end of the trim 7 of a car, the trim 7 can first be manually placed on the base plate 1, and one end of the trim 7 can be positioned by the positioning member 2, and the other end of the trim 7 to be shaped can be placed on the contour support 3. When the operator presses the first controller 9 and the third controller 11, the second drive device 63 of the trim shaping fixture starts to work first, controlling the clamping block 62 to approach the clamping seat 61 and clamp the trim 7. Then the first drive device 4 of the trim shaping fixture controls the contour block 5 to approach the contour support 3, so that the contour block 5 presses down and shapes the end of the trim 7 to be shaped.

[0062] After the shaping process is completed, the operator presses the second controller 10 and the third controller 11. The first drive device 4 and the second drive device 63 control the contour block 5 and the clamping block 62 to reset. At this time, the operator can take out the shaped trim 7 product.

[0063] In summary, the trim shaping fixture designed in this utility model can solve the problems of low production efficiency, high labor costs, and poor product quality stability that exist when shaping trim 7 manually. It can improve the shaping quality, ensure that the shaping effect of trims in the same batch is consistent, and eliminate the need for subsequent inspection procedures. It has good prospects for promotion and application value.

[0064] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
