[0002] PET is a milky white or light yellow highly crystalline polymer with a smooth and shiny surface. It has good creep resistance, fatigue resistance, abrasion resistance and dimensional stability, low wear and high hardness, and has the greatest toughness among thermoplastics: good electrical insulation performance, little temperature influence, but poor corona resistance. It is non-toxic, weather-resistant, and has good chemical resistance stability, low water absorption, and is resistant to weak acids and organic solvents, but not hot water immersion and alkali. Plastic bottles produced by PET are widely used to package carbonated beverages, drinking water, fruit juice, enzymes and tea beverages. At the same time, PET can also be used to produce plastic cups.

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a plastic mold for producing PET plastic cups, and the technical solution is as follows:
[0037] A plastic mold for producing PET plastic cups, comprising a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 for conveying rough plastic cups is arranged at the lower side of the frame 1; a movable mold 3, four pressing cylinders 4 are fixed vertically downward on the top of the frame 1, and a movable mold 3 is fixedly installed on the output end of the pressing cylinder 4, a material pipe 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable mold 3, and the material pipe 5 passes through the top of the frame 1; a fixed mold 6, a fixed mold 6 that cooperates with the movable mold 3 is arranged in the middle of the frame 1, and the fixed mold 6 is located between the conveyor belt 2 and the movable mold 3. The fixed mold 6 has a mold cavity 11 on both the upper and lower surfaces for cooperating with the movable mold 3; the fixed mold 6 has a short rotating shaft 7 and a long rotating shaft 8 fixedly installed on the left and right sides respectively, the short rotating shaft 7 and the long rotating shaft 8 are both horizontally rotatably installed on the frame 1, and bearings 9 are installed between the long rotating shaft 8 and the short rotating shaft 7 and the frame 1, the right-angle motor 10 is fixed on the outside of the frame 1, and the end of the long rotating shaft 8 away from the fixed mold 6 is connected to the right-angle motor 10, and a two-way ejection mechanism is arranged inside the fixed mold 6.
[0038] The movable mold 3, the fixed mold 6 and the conveyor belt 2 for conveying the rough blank of the plastic cup are installed through the frame 1. The movable mold 3 is installed on the upper side of the frame 1, and the fixed mold 6 is rotatably installed in the middle part of the frame 1 through the short rotating shaft 7 and the long rotating shaft 8 thereon. The conveyor belt 2 is installed on the lower side of the frame 1. The upper surface of the conveyor belt 2 is about 5-10mm higher than the height of the rough blank of the plastic cup from the bottom of the fixed mold 6. At the beginning, the movable mold 3 is driven downward by four clamping cylinders 4 to close the mold with the fixed mold 6. The clamping cylinder 4 is a standard cylinder or other cylinders or devices that can realize linear extension and retraction and meet the use requirements. Then, the material pipe 5 injects molten plastic into the mold cavity 11, and after cooling, a rough plastic cup is obtained. Then, the movable mold 3 is controlled by four clamping cylinders 4 to move upward and return to the initial position. The right-angle motor 10 controls the long rotating shaft 8 to rotate 180°. The right-angle motor 10 is a rodless stepping motor. The long rotating shaft 8 finally controls the fixed mold 6 to rotate 180°. Then the movable mold 3 repeats the above steps again and is molded with another mold cavity 11 of the fixed mold 6 for injection molding. The cooled rough plastic cup is ejected by the two-way ejection mechanism onto the conveyor belt 2. Then, the rough plastic cup is continuously produced in this way. The problem that the original plastic cup injection mold cannot perform injection molding production at the same time during the unloading process is solved, and the production efficiency is improved.
[0039] As an embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 3 The fixed die 6 is a concave die, and the movable die 3 is a convex die that cooperates with the fixed die 6.
[0040] After the movable mold 3 and the fixed mold 6 are molded together for injection molding, the rough plastic cup remains inside the fixed mold 6, and then the long rotating shaft 8 is driven by the right-angle motor 10 to rotate 180 degrees, and then the long rotating shaft 8 drives the fixed mold 6 to rotate 180 degrees to open the rough plastic cup downward, and finally the rough plastic cup is ejected downward by the two-way ejection mechanism, and the rough plastic cup falls downward on the conveyor belt 2, and is transported to another station by the conveyor belt 2. This solves the problem that the original plastic cup mold needs a robot to place the rough plastic cup with its opening downward on the conveyor belt 2 after injection molding, thereby reducing production costs.
[0041] As an embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 3The bidirectional ejection mechanism includes two circular holes 12 penetrating the fixed mold 6, and the two circular holes 12 are symmetrical about the two mold cavities 11. A rectangular groove 13 is horizontally opened in the middle of the fixed mold 6, and the rectangular groove 13 connects the two circular holes 12. Circular spring grooves 14 are opened in the middle of the rectangular groove 13, and through holes 15 for connecting the rectangular groove 13 with the upper and lower mold cavities 11 are opened in the middle of the upper and lower spring grooves 14. Slide rods 16 are slidably installed in the middle of the two through holes 15. The two slide rods 16 extend into the interior of the rectangular groove 13 from the upper and lower mold cavities 11 respectively, and a push plate is fixedly installed at one end of the two slide rods 16 in the mold cavity 11 17, the bottom of the two mold cavities 11 are provided with grooves 20 for cooperating with the push plates 17, and one end of the two slide bars 16 in the rectangular groove 13 is fixedly installed with a limit plate 18, and the two slide bars 16 are evenly wound with springs 19, one end of the two springs 19 are respectively fixed to the bottom of the upper and lower spring grooves 14, and the other ends are respectively fixedly installed on the two limit plates 18, a cross plate 21 is horizontally arranged in the middle of the rectangular groove 13, the cross plate 21 is located between the two limit plates 18, and round rods 22 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the upper and lower surfaces of the cross plate 21, and the four round rods 22 can slide up and down in the two round holes 12.
[0042] When the mold is not closed, the two springs 19 pull the push plates 17 in the upper and lower mold cavities 11 toward the bottom of the mold cavity 11 through elastic force. At the same time, the cross plate 21 inside the rectangular groove 13 is limited by the two limit plates 18 under the elastic force of the two springs 19, and is kept in the middle of the rectangular groove 13 when not working. When a mold cavity 11 is closed for injection molding, the four round rods 22 are controlled to move downward in the round hole 12, and the round rods 22 drive the cross plate 21 to move downward, and a spring 19 located below is compressed and connected to it. A limit plate 18 moves downward and drives the slide bar 16 to slide downward in the through hole 15 below, and finally drives the push plate 17 below to move downward, pushing the rough plastic cup out of the mold cavity 11 below and onto the conveyor belt 2. When the right-angle motor 10 rotates 180°, the fixed mold 6 finally rotates 180°, and the mold cavity 11 originally located above becomes the mold cavity 11 below. Repeating the above steps can complete the continuous unloading of the rough plastic cup, solving the problem that both the upper and lower mold cavities 11 need to be unloaded, thereby improving production continuity and production efficiency.
[0043] As an embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 3 When not in operation, the ends of the four round rods 22 away from the rectangular groove 13 extend out of the upper and lower surfaces of the fixed mold 6 respectively.
[0044] When the movable mold 3 is driven by the four clamping cylinders 4 to close the mold downward, the movable mold 3 will push the round rod 22 extending from the upper surface downward, and the round rod 22 slides downward inside the round hole 12, and then drives the cross plate 21 downward, the cross plate 21 pushes the limit plate 18 downward, the limit plate 18 drives the slide bar 16, and finally drives the push plate 17 downward to push the rough plastic cup downward from the mold cavity 11 below to the conveyor belt 2 to complete unloading. When the upper and lower surfaces of the fixed mold 6 alternate, the above steps are repeated to complete unloading. By linking unloading with mold closing and utilizing the pressure during mold closing to unload, there is no need to add an additional power source to the unloading device, which improves energy utilization and reduces the cost increase caused by the use of an additional power source.
[0045] As an embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 3 A ball groove 23 is formed around the middle part of the four round rods 22, and balls 24 are arranged in the ball groove 23.
[0046] The ball 24 is made of steel. When the round rod 22 moves up and down, the ball 24 converts the sliding friction between the round rod 22 and the round hole 12 into rolling friction between the ball 24, reducing the wear and heat between the round rod 22 and the round hole 12, and avoiding the problem of damage to the round rod 22 after long-term work. At the same time, adding the ball 24 can also reduce the manufacturing accuracy and matching accuracy of the round hole 12 and the round rod 22, improve the stability of the equipment, and reduce the process cost of the mold.
[0047] As an embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 3 A preheating device 25 is installed around the two mold cavities 11, and a disc 26 is fixedly installed on one end of the four round rods 22 extending from the fixed mold 6. The fixed mold 6 has circular grooves 27 on the upper and lower surfaces for cooperating with the four discs 26. Switches 28 are installed at the bottom of the circular grooves 27 on the right sides of the upper and lower surfaces, and the switch 28 is electrically connected to the preheating device 25.
[0048] The above-mentioned preheating device 25 is an infrared heating tube, but is not limited to an infrared heating tube. Other devices that can help the mold to be heated and preheated are also acceptable. When the movable mold 3 is pressed down, the disc 26 on the round rod 22 extending from the upper surface of the fixed mold 6 moves downward, enters the circular groove 27 and presses the switch 28. At this time, the switch 28 inside the upper circular groove 27 controls the preheating device 25 around the lower mold cavity 11 to preheat the mold cavity 11 after the lower discharge, and at this time, the switch 28 in the lower circular groove 27 controls the preheating device 25 around the upper mold cavity 11. Since the switch 28 on the lower side is not The preheating device 25 around the upper mold cavity 11 is under pressure, so the preheating device 25 around the upper mold cavity 11 is not started. When the fixed mold 6 rotates 180° for mold closing and injection molding, the above steps will be repeated. Preheating devices 25 are set around the upper and lower mold cavities 11, and cross-control is performed using the switch 28 to achieve the effect of alternating preheating. While unloading on one side, it is equipped for the next injection molding in advance, thereby improving production efficiency. At the same time, the disc 26 increases the contact area between the round rod 22 and the movable mold 3, reduces the contact pressure concentration between the round rod 22 and the movable mold 3 when the mold is closed, and reduces the wear of the movable mold 3.
[0049] As an embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The frame 1 also includes a supporting device, which includes a supporting plate 29 that spans the conveyor belt 2 and is horizontally arranged between the conveyor belt 2 and the fixed mold 6. The supporting plate 29 is made of steel and has a thickness of 20 mm or more. Support cylinders 30 are arranged on the left and right sides of the lower surface of the support plate 29. The output ends of the two support cylinders 30 are arranged vertically upward. The output ends of the two support cylinders 30 are fixed to the lower surface of the support plate 29, and the two support cylinders 30 are installed on the frame 1 on the side opposite to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2.
[0050] The supporting cylinder 30 is a standard cylinder. Other cylinders or various structures and devices that can achieve linear extension and retraction and have a certain supporting effect and meet the use requirements can also be used. When the movable mold 3 and the fixed mold 6 are molded for injection, the two supporting cylinders 30 extend upward at the same time, and the supporting plate 29 is driven upward and fits against the lower surface of the fixed mold 6, giving the fixed mold 6 an upward supporting force. When the injection molding is completed, the two supporting cylinders 30 are retracted at the same time, and the supporting plate 29 moves downward to reset. The setting of the supporting device helps the short rotating shaft 7 and the long rotating shaft 8 share part of the pressure during the mold closing, reduces the deformation of the short rotating shaft 7 and the long rotating shaft 8 caused by the influence of long-term mold closing pressure, and ultimately makes the problem that the rough plastic cup does not meet the production standards, thereby improving the stability of the equipment.
[0051] As an embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 A hard rubber block 31 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the support plate 29 .
[0052] The hard rubber block 31 can also be replaced by a hard material with low wear on metal, such as plastic. When the support plate 29 supports the fixed mold 6 upward, the original contact between the support plate 29 and the fixed mold 6 is changed to the contact between the hard rubber block 31 and the fixed mold 6, avoiding the wear caused by direct contact between the support plate 29 and the fixed mold 6.
[0053] As an embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 A code disc 32 is fixedly installed on the long rotating shaft 8, and the code disc 32 is located between the fixed mold 6 and the frame 1. The code disc 32 is a metal disc, and two notches 33 are opened on the code disc 32. The two notches 33 are evenly distributed on the code disc 32 at 180°. The frame 1 is horizontally fixedly installed with a mounting plate 34 on one side of the long rotating shaft 8. The mounting plate 34 is aligned with the long rotating shaft 8. A proximity switch 35 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 34. The proximity switch 35 is aligned with the code disc 32, and the proximity switch 35 is electrically connected to the right-angle motor 10.
[0054] The pause time of the right-angle motor 10 is set according to the time required for injection cooling and forming. The proximity switch 35 generates an electrical signal after detecting the gap 33 of the code disk 32. The signal is fed back to the right-angle motor 10, and the right-angle motor 10 pauses, injection molding and cooling are performed, and then the right-angle motor 10 is started. After the proximity switch 35 detects the gap 33 again, the right-angle motor 10 pauses again. This reciprocating process is used to realize the right-angle motor 10 controlling the fixed mold 6 to rotate and flip. This method of controlling the rotation of the right-angle motor 10 has good human-computer timely interaction. There is no need to set a computer to control the right-angle motor 10 and there is no need to set the stepping parameters of the rotation of the right-angle motor 10 in the computer controlling the right-angle motor 10 in advance and then perform complex programming. It is only necessary to control the power on and off of the right-angle motor 10 through the electrical signal generated by the proximity switch 35, thereby reducing the control cost.
[0055] As an embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 6 Four limiting holes 36 are provided at the position where the long rotating shaft 8 and the frame 1 are installed. The four limiting holes 36 are evenly arranged on the long rotating shaft 8, and the four limiting holes 36 are all on the same vertical plane. Steel balls 37 are provided inside the four limiting holes 36, and springs 38 are provided between the four steel balls 37 and the bottom of the limiting holes 36. Four spherical slots 39 for cooperating with the limiting holes 36 are provided on the frame 1.
[0056] When the long rotating shaft 8 has a slight deviation after the right-angle motor 10 stops rotating, the steel ball 37 will roll into the spherical slot 39 due to the relationship between the spherical slot 39, and drive the long rotating shaft 8 to rotate. The steel ball 37 entering the spherical slot 39 is pressed tightly in the spherical slot 39 under the action of the spring 2 38, and finally the fixed mold 6 reaches the specified clamping angle. When the right-angle motor 10 rotates, the torque brought by the right-angle motor 10 will force the steel ball 37 to leave the spherical slot 39, and then the steel ball 37 is pressed into the limit hole 36, and the spring 2 38 is also compressed accordingly, which solves the problem of slight deviation in the rotation angle of the fixed mold 6 caused by insufficient control accuracy of the code disk 32 and the proximity switch 35 on the right-angle motor 10, thereby improving the stability of the equipment.
[0057] Working principle: When not working, the four clamping cylinders 4 are in a retracted state, the movable mold 3 is fixed on the output ends of the four clamping cylinders 4, the fixed mold 6 is in a state where one cavity 11 is vertically upward and the other cavity 11 is vertically downward, the two supporting cylinders 30 are also in a retracted state, the supporting plate 29 is fixed on the output ends of the two supporting cylinders 30, the hard rubber block 31 is fixed on the upper surface of the supporting plate 29, and the conveyor belt 2 is in a stationary state. After the injection molding starts, the conveyor belt 2 starts to work, and the four clamping cylinders 4 drive the movable mold 3 to move downward and close the mold with the fixed mold 6. At the same time, the supporting cylinders 30 extend upward, driving the supporting plate 29 and the hard rubber block 31 to press upward against the bottom surface of the fixed mold 6, giving the fixed mold 6 an upward supporting force to share the load borne by the long rotating shaft 8 and the short rotating shaft 7. The movable mold 3 moves upward. When the lower mold is closed, the disc 26 is pushed downward to press the switch 28. The switch 28 controls the preheating device 25 around the lower mold cavity 11 to perform preheating. The first mold closing does not perform injection molding because the upper mold cavity 11 has not been preheated. After reaching the pause time required for injection molding set by the right-angle motor 10, the clamping cylinder 4 drives the movable mold 3 to retract, and the supporting cylinder 30 also drives the supporting plate 29 and the hard rubber block 31 to retract. The right-angle motor 10 starts to rotate, and drives the code disk 32 and the long shaft 8 and the short shaft 7 to rotate, and the fixed mold 6 also rotates accordingly. After rotating 180°, the right-angle motor 10 stops rotating when the proximity switch 35 detects the notch 33 of the code disk 32. If there is a slight deviation that causes the two planes of the fixed mold 6 with the mold cavity 11 to be not aligned, the right-angle motor 10 stops rotating. When the mold is horizontal, the steel ball 37 will roll into the spherical slot 39, thereby driving the long rotating shaft 8 and the short rotating shaft 7 to rotate, and finally adjusting the opening plane of the two mold cavities 11 to be horizontal, and then the clamping cylinder 4 and the supporting cylinder 30 will extend at the same time, the clamping cylinder 4 will drive the movable mold 3 and the fixed mold 6 to close the mold, and the supporting cylinder 30 will drive the supporting plate 29 and the hard rubber block 31 to support the fixed mold 6, and the molten plastic will be injected into the upper mold cavity 11 through the material pipe 5. At the same time, the switch 28 controls the preheating device 25 to preheat the lower mold cavity 11. After the rough plastic cup is cooled, the clamping cylinder 4 will drive the movable mold 3 to retract again, and the supporting cylinder 30 will also drive the supporting plate 29 and the hard rubber block 31 to retract. At this time, the rough plastic cup remains in the upper mold cavity 11 of the fixed mold 6, and the right-angle motor 10 will press the mold according to the code The disk 32 and the proximity switch 35 are controlled to rotate 180° again to swap the positions of the original upper and lower mold cavities 11. At this time, the mold cavity 11 with the rough plastic cup embryo is located in the lower half of the fixed mold 6. When the upper mold cavity 11 is molded again for injection molding, the movable mold 3 pushes the disc 26 downward to press the switch 28 downward to control the preheating device 25 in the lower half to preheat the lower mold cavity 11. At the same time, the disc 26 drives the four round rods 22 to move downward in the round hole 12, and finally drives the cross plate 21 to push the lower limit plate 18 downward. The lower limit plate 18 drives the slide bar 16 to slide downward, and drives the push plate 17 in the lower mold cavity 11 to push the rough plastic cup embryo downward. The opening of the rough plastic cup embryo falls downward on the conveyor belt 2, completing the process of unloading and injection molding at the same time.After the injection molding is completed and before the next injection molding is performed, the two horizontal plates 21 are kept in the middle of the rectangular groove 13 by the action of the two springs 19 and the limit plate 18, and the two push plates 17 are also tightly pulled to the bottom of the two mold cavities 11 by the action of the springs 19, and then the above process is repeated and the production is continuous.
