阅读说明：本技术 用于一体化充注和密封的方法 (Method for integrated filling and sealing ) 是由 戴尔·E·雅各布斯 于 2016-05-17 设计创作，主要内容包括：本申请涉及用于一体化充注和密封的方法。用于使至少部分地由诸如热塑性层的聚合物层构成的物品中的室充注的方法。该方法可以允许在聚合物层中形成孔、使与孔流体连通的室或容积部充注以及然后焊接或密封室,使得充注流体大体上保留在室中和/或不经由孔逸出。在多个方面中,孔的形成、室的充注以及室或孔的密封可以由单个工具和/或基于热塑性物品与工具的单次配准来执行。在一些方面,孔的形成部分地通过使用具有杯状表面的冲头来实现,所述具有杯状表面的冲头允许热塑性物品的顶层被打破而不在至少一个下层中形成孔。(The present application relates to methods for integrated inflation and sealing. A method for inflating a chamber in an article that is at least partially composed of a polymer layer, such as a thermoplastic layer. The method may allow for the formation of an aperture in the polymer layer, the inflation of a chamber or volume in fluid communication with the aperture, and then welding or sealing the chamber such that the inflation fluid is substantially retained in the chamber and/or does not escape via the aperture. In various aspects, the formation of the aperture, the inflation of the chamber, and the sealing of the chamber or aperture may be performed by a single tool and/or based on a single registration of the thermoplastic article with the tool. In some aspects, the formation of the holes is accomplished in part by using a punch having a cupped surface that allows the top layer of the thermoplastic article to be broken without forming holes in the at least one lower layer.)
