Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile manufacturing technology, specifically to a perforated foam installer. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automotive manufacturing technology, to achieve functions such as shock absorption, sealing, and sound insulation, foam is often installed in specific locations on automotive plastic products (such as interior trim parts and exterior protective panels). The foam installation locations for these products typically have pre-set positioning structures, often columnar or plate-shaped, used to position and support the foam. Additionally, clips are usually fixed to the outside of the positioning structure.

[0003] Corresponding to the above-mentioned plate-like structure, through holes will be pre-drilled on the foam to be installed. During installation, the through holes of the foam need to be aligned with the positioning structure of the plastic product, and the foam is pushed to the installation root along the extension direction of the positioning structure so that the positioning structure passes through the through holes of the foam, thus completing the foam installation operation.

[0004] However, the current industry practice for installing such foam with through holes mostly relies on manual operation, which has significant technical drawbacks and seriously affects installation efficiency and quality. 1. Installation obstacles caused by foam adhesiveness: To ensure the stability of the adhesion between the foam and the product, the foam usually has adhesive properties. During manual installation, the operator's hands are very likely to come into contact with the adhesive side of the foam, causing the foam to stick to their hands. This not only requires frequent cleaning of the sticky adhesive, prolonging the installation time, but may also cause the foam to deform and the adhesive to fail due to the sticky adhesive, affecting the subsequent installation and bonding effect.

[0005] 2. Foam Folding Issues Caused by Clip Obstruction: Due to the raised height and rigidity of the clips on the outer side of the positioning structure, the clips significantly obstruct the edges of the foam's through holes during manual pushing of the foam along the plate-like structure to the root. When the foam approaches the installation root, the obstruction force causes uneven stress in localized areas of the foam (especially at the edges of the through holes), leading to foam folding and wrinkling. Once the foam folds, it not only fails to achieve effective adhesion to the product but may also prevent the clips from engaging properly, requiring disassembly and repositioning of the foam, further reducing installation efficiency and even rendering the foam unusable, increasing production costs.

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-7 This application provides the following technical solutions: A perforated foam installer, used in Figure 1 Install foam 103 on similar product 100. Figure 1 The central support structure 101 is a protruding plate-like body located at one end of the product 100, and a clip 102 is fitted onto the outside of the support structure 101. The product 100 is made of plastic, and the clip 102 is made of metal, typically an iron clip. The installer in this design includes a housing 1, a first support member 2, and a second support member 3. The housing 1 has an internal cavity, and one end of the housing 1 has an open opening communicating with the cavity. The first support member 2 includes a first connecting portion 21 and a first support portion 22, and the second support member 3 includes a second connecting portion 31 and a second support portion 32. Both the first connecting portion 21 and the second connecting portion 31 are located inside the cavity of the housing 1 and are slidably connected to the housing 1. The first support portion 22 and the second support portion 32 extend to the outside of the open opening of the housing 1. In addition to being slidably connected to the housing 1, the second connecting portion 31 also serves as a rotatable connection. By rotating the position of the second connecting portion 31, the second support portion 32 moves closer to or further away from the first support portion 22.

[0022] When using this installer, first adjust the distance between the second support part 32 and the first support part 22 to correspond to the size of the opening inside the foam 103. Then, put the foam onto the first support part 22 and the second support part 32, hold the housing 1, and push the first support part 22 and the second support part 32 against both sides of the clip 102. The elastic structure on the clip 102 is pushed and closed by the first support part 22 and the second support part 32. At the same time, due to the protection of the first support part 22 and the second support part 32, the outer side of the clip 102 does not contact the inner wall of the opening of the foam 103. After the first support part 22 and the second support part 32 contact the insert 100, the housing 1 is pushed further. The adhesive side of the foam 103 adheres to the end face of the product 100. Under the action of external force, the first support part 22 and the second support part 32 slide into the housing 1. At the same time, the open end face of the housing 1 pushes the foam 103 from the side away from the product, making the foam 103 adhere more tightly to the product 100 and separating it from the first support part 22 and the second support part 32. Then, the housing 1 is pulled in the opposite direction, moving it away from the product 100, thus completing the installation of the foam 103, which is very convenient.

[0023] Based on the above implementation scheme, the housing 1 adopts a structure with two half-threaded connections. The end of the housing 1 away from the open opening is a closed end, and the outer side of the closed end has an arc-shaped structure. A gripping structure is provided on the outer side of the housing 1 to facilitate holding, and the gripping structure forms an approximately waist-shaped structure on the outer side of the housing 1. It includes four bosses 11, which are arranged symmetrically in pairs on the outer side of the housing 1. The bosses 11 are located between the open end and the closed end of the housing 1.

[0024] This structure makes it easier for workers to grip the housing 1 and apply force when installing the foam.

[0025] Based on the above implementation plan, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The shell 1 has a rectangular cavity inside. A core component 4, which is a rectangular cylinder, is slidably connected inside the cavity. The first support component 2 and the second support component 3 are respectively connected to the core component 4.

[0026] The first connecting portion 21 of the first support member 2 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the core member 4, and the second connecting portion 31 of the second support member 3 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the core member 4 via a rotating shaft. The side wall where the first connecting portion 21 is located and the side wall connected to the second connecting portion 31 are adjacent side walls.

[0027] A reset member 5, which is a spring, is also provided between the core 4 and the housing 1. In this design, the reset member 5 is located on the side of the core 4 facing the closed end of the housing 1. In its natural state, the reset member 5 pushes the core 4 to the open side of the housing 1, causing the first support 22 and the second support 32 to move to the outside of the open side of the housing 1.

[0028] When installing foam 103, the worker pushes the first support 22 and the second support 32 until they are against the end face of product 100, and then continues to push the housing 1, compressing the reset member 5. After the foam 103 and the end face of product 100 are in contact, the housing 1 is pulled away. Under the action of the reset member 5, the core 4 drives the first support 22 and the second support 32 to reset, facilitating subsequent use.

[0029] Based on the above implementation scheme, in order to limit the movement of the core component 4 and prevent it from detaching from the housing 1, this scheme also provides a limiting structure 6. The limiting structure 6 includes a limiting groove 61 and a limiting member 62. The limiting groove 61 is an elongated groove formed on the side wall of the housing 1; the limiting member 62 is a column that is fixedly connected to the side wall of the core component 4, while the limiting member 62 and the limiting groove 61 are slidably connected.

[0030] In addition, this installer is also equipped with an adjustment component 7, which is linked to the second support member 3 to adjust the distance between the second support part 32 and the first support part 22. See also Figure 6 The adjusting assembly 7 includes a main adjusting member 71 and a secondary adjusting member 72. The main adjusting member 71 is a screw, threadedly connected to the side wall of the core member 4. It is located on the side of the core member 4 opposite to the limiting member 62. One end of the main adjusting member 71 extends into the core member 4, and the end inside the core member 4 abuts against one side of the second support member 3. The secondary adjusting member 72 is a spring, located on the side of the second support member 3 opposite to the main adjusting member 71. The secondary adjusting member 72 is located between the inner wall of the core member 4 and the second support member 3. Grooves are provided on the second support member 3 and the core member 4 corresponding to the secondary adjusting member 72, facilitating the positioning of the two ends of the secondary adjusting member 72.

[0031] The limiting groove 61 is symmetrically opened on the two parallel side walls of the housing 1, one of which is used to slide with the limiting member 62, and the other is used to slide with the auxiliary adjusting member 72.

[0032] By screwing on the main adjusting member 71, its end pushes against the second support member 3, thereby compressing the secondary adjusting member 72 and changing the normal opening of the first support member 2 and the second support member 3. During foam installation, because the clip 102 and the support structure 101 are located on the first support member 2 and the second support member 3, the second support member 3 may be slightly opened. In this case, the secondary adjusting member 72 is further compressed and can be reset after the product 100 is removed, without affecting its use.
