Abstract

The present invention discloses a method of manufacturing integrated modular structure using a rotomolding process. The method comprises preparing at least a pair of molds embedded with at least one electric harness, wherein the pair of molds having a base mold and a first mold joined to form an enclosure, filling a first material in the base mold of the pair of molds, providing a heating and cooling cycle, wherein during heating at least the pair of molds being rotated for evenly spreading the molten first material and embedding the electric harness in the molten first material, obtaining a first molded part yielded by at least the pair of molds, and obtaining a second molded part yielded by at least a pair of molds, thereby the first molded part, the second molded part and the at least one embedded electric harness together forming the integrated modular structure.

Dependent claims

A method of manufacturing an integrated modular structure using a rotomolding process, comprising:

placing at least one electric harness inside a mold set, wherein the mold set includes a base mold and a first mold joined together to form an enclosure;
introducing a first material in the base mold of the mold set;
heating and rotating the mold set to allow the first material to melt and flow over the at least one electric harness to embed the at least one electric harness in the first material and form a first molded part;
cooling the first molded part;
replacing the first mold of the mold set with a second mold;
introducing a second material between the base mold and the second mold with the first molded part in the base mold;
heating the mold set to melt the second material to form a second molded part;
and
cooling the second molded part;
wherein the first molded part, the second molded part, and the at least one electric harness form an integrated modular structure.
