The production process and equipment of car massage air bags

I. Core Production Process

Material Selection and Customization

  • Base Material: Uses TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber) film with thickness ≥0.3mm, tensile strength ≥25MPa, and flame retardancy rating V-0 (UL94) to ensure airtightness and safety.
  • Customized Formulation: Adjusts TPU properties based on vehicle model requirements:
    • Sedans: Low hardness (Shore A 55-65°) with flexible modifiers for a delicate touch.
    • Sports Cars: High resilience formula (elastic recovery rate ≥95%) for high-frequency gentle massage effects.
    • Luxury SUVs: Composite antibacterial nano-silver ions and breathable microporous structure for hygiene and heat dissipation.
  • Structural Design: Uses 3D scanning to capture seat data and customize airbag shape and size. For example, fastback sedans use "segmented TPU film airbags" with narrow, thin upper sections for shoulder-neck fit and wide, thick lower sections for lumbar support.

Hot Press Forming

  • Process Parameters: Temperature 180°C-200°C, pressure 5-8MPa, time 10-15 seconds, ensuring dimensional accuracy of ±0.5mm.
  • Equipment: Hot press machines with adjustable constant-temperature systems (0°C-300°C) and pneumatic/hydraulic drive modes to accommodate different material needs.

High-Frequency Welding

  • Process Requirements: Seam width ≥5mm, burst pressure ≥300kPa, ensuring welding strength.
  • Equipment: High-frequency welding machines (e.g., Puxiong’s automated car seat airbag production line) use high-frequency current (27.12MHz or 40.68MHz) to generate heat for stitch-free welding, eliminating air leakage risks.

Air Chamber Layout and Massage Head Design

  • Air Chambers: 3-5 independent air chambers arranged in a bionic spinal curve for zoned massage.
  • Massage Heads: Hemispherical protrusions with a height of 2-5mm and density ≤10/100cm² to avoid overstimulating the skin.

Valve Installation and Testing

  • Valves: Opening pressure 5-10kPa, closing pressure 3-6kPa, ensuring precise inflation/deflation control.
  • Airtightness Test: Inflate to 15-20kPa pressure, hold for 5-10 minutes; pressure drop ≤0.5kPa is considered qualified.

Coating Treatment and Packaging

  • Coating: Surface coated with 0.05-0.1mm wear-resistant coating to extend service life.
  • Packaging: Inner packaging uses PE bags + pearl cotton, outer packaging uses corrugated boxes labeled "Fragile" and "Moisture-Proof."

II. Key Production Equipment

High-Frequency Welding Machine

  • Function: Simultaneously welds and cuts TPU film, supporting multi-station operations (e.g., four-station models with a capacity of 3,500 units/8 hours).
  • Representative Models:
    • Puxiong Automated Car Seat Airbag Production Line, suitable for cross-border exports.
    • Puxiong 5KW High-Frequency Welding Machine, power 500
