Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic thermoforming machine technology, and specifically to a heating box used in a plastic thermoforming machine. Background Technology
[0002] Existing plastic thermoforming machines, especially portable vacuum thermoforming machines, often have heating chambers that move frequently, making the heating elements inside prone to breakage due to rapid movement or vibration, particularly those using ceramic heating bricks. Damaged heating elements or parts falling onto finished products can increase defect rates or ignite the materials, leading to equipment damage or personal injury and property loss.
[0003] Furthermore, existing heating chambers on the market, including imported ones, typically use a combination of insulation cotton and wire mesh for reinforcement. This insulation method is prone to problems due to heating chamber movement or the aging and powdering of the insulation cotton itself, causing insulation fragments to fall onto the product and affecting the yield rate. Additionally, the current method of installing thermocouples (temperature probes) in heating chambers usually involves drilling holes in the heating chamber body and then inserting them through the holes. This installation method is prone to causing the thermocouples (temperature probes) to loosen due to instability, leading to insulation cotton lint falling off and affecting product production. Therefore, existing technology has limitations. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The heating box for a plastic thermoforming machine provided by this utility model also has the following features: the heating box body is made of stainless steel, and the heat preservation box is made of stainless steel.

[0015] Functions and effects of utility models
[0016] 1. Because the insulation box is made of stainless steel and the inner wall of its internal insulation cavity is mirrored, it effectively prevents the insulation cotton inside the cavity from shedding due to aging and powdering. At the same time, the insulation box is located inside the mounting cavity of the heating chamber, which effectively improves the insulation effect. Furthermore, the stainless steel material of the insulation box allows its bottom wall to reflect heat, thus accelerating the softening of the product and saving energy.
[0017] 2. Because insulating protective sleeves are used at both ends of the heating tube in conjunction with the third washer for protection, and the heating tube is locked and fixed to the heating box body using fixing rods and fixing caps, it can be ensured that the heating tube is firmly fixed and not easy to loosen. This can reduce the heat energy of multiple heating tubes being directly conducted to the heating box body due to mutual contact.
[0018] 3. The temperature sensing element is fixed to the heating box and the insulation box by the mounting assembly, thereby preventing the temperature sensing element from becoming loose due to the movement of the heating box body. Furthermore, one end of the temperature sensing element is suspended in the insulation cavity, thereby preventing the temperature sensing section of the temperature sensing element from contacting the insulation box and causing errors in the actual temperature sensed, thus ensuring the stability of this utility model during production and use.
