Abstract
A press apparatus for vehicle crash pads includes a lower press including an engraved part provided in an area where a product is to be formed, and a support part including a fixing pin for fixing a real wood sheet; and an upper press including an embossed part corresponding to the engraved part, and a first slide movable to adjust a width of the embossed part. The support part is configured to support the upper press when compressed to the upper press.
Claims11
A press apparatus for vehicle crash pads, comprising:
- a lower press comprising an engraved part provided in an area where a product is to be formed, and a support part comprising a fixing pin for fixing a real wood sheet;
- and
- an upper press comprising an embossed part corresponding to the engraved part, and a first slide movable to adjust a width of the embossed part,
- wherein the lower press further includes a hole processing pin that protrudes when the embossed part of the upper press is compressed to the engraved part of the lower press and forms a fixing hole in each wrapping fixing rib provided in the real wood sheet, and
- wherein the support part is configured to support the upper press when compressed to the upper press.

A method of pressing vehicle crash pads, comprising:
- performing a preforming process after forming an embossed part of an upper press by moving a first slide located in the embossed part to correspond to a width of the embossed part;
- and
- performing a compression process by moving the first slide and temporarily bonding a core to the embossed part,
- wherein the performing of the preforming process comprises:
- moving the first slide provided in the embossed part to correspond to a width of an engraved part of a lower press;
- seating a real wood sheet on the lower press by inserting a fixing pin provided in a second slide of the lower press into a first fixing hole formed in a compression fixing rib of the real wood sheet;
- preforming the real wood sheet by compressing the upper press to the lower press;
- and
- forming, after the real wood sheet is preformed, a second fixing hole in each wrapping fixing rib provided in the real wood sheet through a processing pin provided in the second slide.
