[0029] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the invention, an aluminum foil sealing structure and its production method are provided, including a sealing cap body 1. The sealing cap body 1 is a ring structure. The sealing plane 6 is located above the central hole of the sealing cap body 1. A folded edge 9 is provided on the outer side below the inner hole of the sealing cap body 1. The folded edge 9 is located at the central hole of the sealing cap body 1 and is an arc-shaped protrusion 7. A steel ring 10 is pre-embedded at the arc-shaped protrusion 7 where the folded edge 9 and the sealing plane 6 meet.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting a folded edge at the opening of the central hole of the sealing cap 1, and by setting a steel ring 10 at the folded part to increase the folding arc, it can be ensured that the arc of the opening of this sealing structure is large enough, thereby effectively preventing hand injuries when handling food, or scratching of the animal's tongue when used as a pet food storage box, ensuring greater safety during use.

[0031] The sealing cap 1 has a locking groove 8 stamped on the outer periphery of its bottom surface, and a connecting protrusion 4 is located on the top of the sealing cap 1 corresponding to the locking groove 8, which facilitates pressing the sealing cap onto the storage tank and achieving connection with the tank.

[0032] One of them has a sealing cone surface 5 integrally formed between the connecting protrusion 4 and the sealing plane 6. An aluminum foil sealing paper 2 is heat-sealed between the sealing plane 6 and the sealing cone surface 5. Text description 3 is printed on the aluminum foil sealing paper 2.

[0033] In the above technical solution, by using aluminum foil to seal the opening instead of the existing easy-open sealing structure, the operation is safer and the opening is larger. At the same time, it is more convenient to print text instructions directly on the aluminum foil.

[0034] A method for producing an aluminum foil sealing structure includes the following steps:

[0035] S11, Preparation of sealing cap;

[0036] S12, heat sealing of aluminum foil sealing paper 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, the preparation of the sealing cap specifically includes the following steps:

[0038] S1101, Material cutting: Cutting the material according to the unfolded outer dimensions of the sealing cap body 1 to obtain the initial sealing cap material tray;

[0039] S1102, Stamping: The initial sealing cover material tray obtained in step S1101 is placed into the extrusion molding die to obtain the initial shape structure of the unfolded folded edge 9.

[0040] S1103, Folding the pre-compression steel ring 10: First, fold the folding edge 9 into a 90-degree structure, then embed the steel ring 10 at the root of the folding edge 9, and fold the folding edge 9 by the folding machine to ensure that the folding edge 9 is in close contact with the bottom surface of the sealing cap body 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, the heat sealing of the aluminum foil sealing paper 2 specifically includes the following steps:

[0042] S1201. Cut the aluminum foil sealing paper 2 according to its dimensions to obtain the initial aluminum foil sealing paper 2;

[0043] S1202, Heating: The initial aluminum foil sealing paper 2 obtained in step S1201 is adsorbed onto the sealing cone 5 and sealing plane 6 after being absorbed by a heating ring with the same structure and shape as the sealing cone 5 and sealing plane 6, and then rapidly heated.

[0044] S1203, Pressing: Rapid hot pressing sealing is performed using a pressing ring with the same external structure as the sealing cone 5 and sealing plane 6;

[0045] S1204, Printing: Print text description 3 on aluminum foil sealing paper 2.

[0046] In step S1103, during the folding process of the folding edge 9, it is necessary to ensure that the sealing cone surface 5 and the sealing plane 6 have a support structure to prevent deformation.

[0047] In step S1202, the heating temperature is 150℃-165℃ and the heating time is 2s-3s. In step S1203, the pressing pressure is 0.05Mpa-0.07Mpa and the pressing time is 1.5s-3s, which can ensure that the aluminum foil sealing paper 2 and the sealing cap 1 are tightly connected.

[0048] In the above technical solution, by setting the sealing plane 6 and the sealing cone 5 to be bonded to the aluminum foil sealing paper 2 for sealing, it can be ensured that the aluminum foil sealing paper 2 forms a local fold and press when bonded to the sealing cone 5, so that the tear opening can be found quickly and easily, making it easy to tear off the aluminum foil sealing paper 2 and saving materials.
