Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aluminum-plastic blister packaging technology, specifically to a PTP laser electroplating aluminum hot stamping device and method. Background Technology
[0002] The aluminum-plastic blister packaging for pharmaceuticals, also known as blister packaging or PTP (press-through packaging), involves first blistering a transparent plastic sheet, then filling the grooves with solid medicines such as tablets, pills, granules, or capsules, and finally heating and bonding it to an aluminum foil sheet coated with an adhesive to form an independent, sealed package.
[0003] Traditional PTP consists of an AL (aluminum foil) layer with a printed pattern and protective layer on one side, and a VC (capsule adhesive) layer on the other (which is heat-sealed with PVC or PVDC to form a blister). The traditional PTP structure is: OP (protective layer) / printed layer / AL (aluminum foil layer) / VC (adhesive layer), and it lacks anti-counterfeiting features. Laser-cut electroplated aluminum foil PTP utilizes the strong anti-counterfeiting properties of electroplated aluminum foil, transferring the aluminum foil to the PTP graphic surface.
[0004] Laser electroplated aluminum foil PTP is produced by using a hot stamping machine to hot stamp laser electroplated aluminum foil onto the surface of aluminum foil, giving the PTP a counterfeit-proof function.
[0005] The working principle of a hot stamping machine can be simply divided into three steps: heating, pressure and cooling. It heats the electroplated aluminum to a certain temperature through a heating plate or heating roller, then uses pressure to stamp the electroplated aluminum onto the surface of the aluminum foil, and then cools it.
[0006] Existing hot stamping machines mainly employ rotary hot stamping, which involves feeding electroplated aluminum foil and aluminum paper between a hot stamping roller and a substrate roller. The hot stamping roller is heated, and the pressure between the roller and the substrate roller is used to stamp the electroplated aluminum foil onto the surface. However, existing hot stamping machines have the following problems: after the electroplated aluminum foil is stamped onto the aluminum foil, it still needs to travel a certain distance to the cooling station. This prevents the aluminum foil from cooling immediately after stamping, resulting in poor curing and a tendency for the hot stamping layer to peel off. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a PTP laser electroplated aluminum hot stamping device and method to solve the problem that existing hot stamping machines easily cause the hot stamping layer to fall off.
[0008] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0009] A PTP laser electroplated aluminum hot stamping apparatus includes a hot stamping roller and a printing roller for hot pressing laser electroplated aluminum and aluminum foil; a transition unit and a pressing and conveying unit are provided at the rear end of the hot stamping roller and the printing roller.
[0010] The transition unit is provided with a hot press plate, a vacuum insulation plate and a cooling plate in sequence in the aluminum foil conveying direction;
[0011] The hot press plate is equipped with a heating mechanism, and a pressure roller is provided above the hot press plate. The hot press plate and the pressure roller are used to achieve secondary hot pressing of the aluminum foil with laser electroplated aluminum foil.
[0012] The cooling plate is equipped with a cooling mechanism, which is used to rapidly cool the aluminum foil that has undergone secondary hot pressing.
[0013] The vacuum insulation plate is used to isolate the hot press plate and the cooling plate;
[0014] The pressing and conveying unit is used to ensure that the aluminum foil is arranged parallel above the hot press plate and the cooling plate, and that there is a small gap between the aluminum foil and the hot press plate and the cooling plate.
[0015] The present invention uses hot stamping rollers and printing rollers to hot press laser electroplated aluminum foil and aluminum foil to achieve hot stamping of laser electroplated aluminum foil, which is a prior art. In the prior art, the aluminum foil after hot stamping by hot stamping rollers and printing rollers is held under pressure and then cooled, which results in an excessively large transmission distance between hot stamping and cooling. After hot stamping, the laser electroplated aluminum foil cannot be cured quickly, which makes it easy for the cooled laser electroplated aluminum foil to peel off from the aluminum foil.
[0016] The transition unit of this invention is provided with a hot press plate, a vacuum insulation plate, and a cooling plate in sequence in the aluminum foil conveying direction. Under the combined action of the hot press plate and the pressure roller, a second hot press is achieved on the aluminum foil with laser electroplated aluminum foil, which not only improves the hot press effect but also has a transition function. When the aluminum foil after the second hot press is transferred to the cooling plate, due to the short distance between the hot press plate and the cooling plate, which is only separated by a vacuum insulation plate, rapid cooling is achieved through the cooling plate, so that the laser electroplated aluminum foil after the second hot press is quickly solidified, thereby improving the bonding force between the laser electroplated aluminum foil and the aluminum foil.
[0017] Furthermore, the plate-mounted structure used in the secondary hot pressing process of this invention, compared with the round-to-round method, can increase the contact area during secondary hot pressing and improve the hot pressing effect.
[0018] Meanwhile, since the hot press plate and the cooling plate have completely opposite temperature requirements due to their functions, one needs a heating temperature and the other needs a cooling temperature, if the two are directly connected or close to each other, their temperatures will affect each other, thereby affecting the heating effect of the hot press plate and the cooling effect of the cooling plate. Therefore, the present invention sets a vacuum insulation plate between the hot press plate and the cooling plate. The vacuum insulation plate is vacuum-insulated, and the heat exchange between the hot press plate and the cooling plate is isolated by the vacuum.
[0019] The purpose of setting up the pressing and transmission unit in this invention is to enable the aluminum foil to be transmitted in parallel above the hot press plate and the cooling plate with a very small gap. This ensures the heating effect of the hot press plate and the cooling effect of the cooling plate, while avoiding the problem of high friction during aluminum foil transmission caused by the aluminum foil being in contact with the hot press plate and the cooling plate.
[0020] Furthermore, the pressing and conveying unit includes a guide roller, a first pressing member, a second pressing member, a third pressing member, and a fourth pressing member;
[0021] The guide roller is positioned above the vacuum insulation plate;
[0022] The first, second, third, and fourth clamping components are arranged sequentially along the aluminum foil conveying direction; the second and third clamping components are respectively arranged on both sides of the guide roller; the first and fourth clamping components are respectively arranged at both ends of the transition unit, and the heights of the first, second, third, and fourth clamping components are adjustable.
[0023] The first and second clamping components are used to control the aluminum foil above the hot press plate, while the third and fourth clamping components are used to control the aluminum foil above the cooling plate.
[0024] Furthermore, the first pressing component includes a first telescopic rod, the lower end of which is provided with a first pressing roller for pressing aluminum foil; the second pressing component includes a second telescopic rod, the lower end of which is provided with a second pressing roller for pressing aluminum foil; the third pressing component includes a third telescopic rod, the lower section of which is provided with a third pressing roller; and the fourth pressing component includes a fourth telescopic rod, the lower end of which is provided with a fourth pressing roller.
[0025] Specifically, the first, second, third, and fourth telescopic rods can be hydraulic cylinders, and the extension and retraction are achieved by controlling the stroke of the hydraulic cylinders through a control unit.
[0026] The first, second, third, and fourth pressing rollers are preferably arranged in a rotating manner, which can both press the aluminum foil and guide it during the aluminum foil transport process.
[0027] Furthermore, it also includes a control unit and an infrared sensor;
[0028] The infrared sensor is used to collect the gap between the upper surface of the hot press plate and the aluminum foil and the upper surface of the cooling plate and the aluminum foil in real time, and transmits the collected gap to the control unit. The control unit determines whether to adjust the height of the first clamping member, the second clamping member, the third clamping member and the fourth clamping member based on the collected gap. If adjustment is required, the control unit controls the first clamping member and / or the second clamping member and / or the third clamping member and / or the fourth clamping member to extend and retract in the vertical direction.
[0029] Since the gap between the aluminum foil and the hot and cooling plates should not be too large, preferably 1-2 mm, the control unit and infrared sensor can effectively control the gap between the aluminum foil and the hot and cooling plates to ensure the heating and cooling effects of the aluminum foil.
[0030] Furthermore, it also includes a temperature sensor, which is used to collect the temperature of the hot press plate and the temperature of the cooling plate in real time, and transmit the collected temperature to the control unit. The control unit adjusts the heating mechanism and the cooling mechanism, or adjusts the height of the first clamping member, the second clamping member, the third clamping member and the fourth clamping member according to the collected temperature.
[0031] Since there are certain requirements for achieving uniform temperature during the secondary hot pressing and cooling of aluminum foil, the heating and cooling mechanisms can be controlled by collecting temperature data to adjust the temperature of the heating and cooling plates, ensuring that their temperatures meet the requirements for secondary hot pressing and cooling.
[0032] Meanwhile, the aluminum foil is only in contact with the hot press plate at the hot pressing position, that is, between the pressure roller and the hot press plate. At other positions, there is a certain gap between the aluminum foil and the hot press plate. In order to ensure the effect of secondary hot pressing and cooling, temperature transition, i.e., heat preservation, is required before and after the pressure roller to ensure that the temperature difference between the first hot pressing and the second hot pressing is not too large. However, there is a large temperature difference between the second hot pressing and cooling. Therefore, the gap between the aluminum foil and the hot press plate and the gap between the aluminum foil and the cooling plate affect the temperature of the aluminum foil. The aluminum foil temperature can be controlled by adjusting the height of the first, second, third, and fourth pressing parts.
[0033] Furthermore, the hot press plate has a hollow structure and is provided with a first inlet and a first outlet. The circulation of the high-temperature medium inside the hot press plate is achieved through the first inlet and the first outlet. The hot press plate is made of a thermally conductive material, and the high-temperature medium includes high-temperature steam.
[0034] Furthermore, the cooling plate has a hollow structure, with a first inlet and a first outlet. A cooling pipe is installed inside the cooling plate, and the cooling pipe is connected to a cooler installed on the outer wall of the cooling plate through the first inlet and the first outlet to form a circulation loop. The cooling plate is made of a thermally conductive material.
[0035] Furthermore, a heat insulation plate is provided inside the cooling plate. The heat insulation plate is used to divide the interior of the cooling plate into a cooling chamber and a transition chamber, and the heat insulation plate is used to isolate the heat transfer inside the cooling plate.
[0036] The cooling pipe is installed inside the cooling chamber;
[0037] The sidewall of the transition chamber is fitted with an annular heat insulation element, which is arranged parallel to the heat insulation plate and perpendicular to the aluminum foil transmission direction, i.e., the axial direction of the annular heat insulation element is the aluminum foil transmission direction; the annular heat insulation element is used to isolate the heat transfer from the sidewall of the cooling plate.
[0038] Both the annular heat insulation component and the heat insulation plate are made of heat insulation material.
[0039] The heat insulation material and the heat conduction material of the present invention are both existing technologies.
[0040] Furthermore, a first step and a second step are formed on the upper surface of the hot press plate and the cooling plate, respectively. The vacuum insulation plate is provided with flanges corresponding to the first step and the second step. The cooperation between the flange and the first step and the cooperation between the flange and the second step enables the vacuum insulation plate to be connected between the hot press plate and the cooling plate. The tops of the vacuum insulation plate, the hot press plate and the cooling plate are flush.
[0041] The lower ends of the hot press plate and the cooling plate are respectively provided with a first positioning block and a second positioning block for supporting the vacuum insulation plate.
[0042] The hot stamping method of the PTP laser electroplated aluminum hot stamping device described above includes the following steps:
[0043] S1. The laser electroplated aluminum foil and aluminum foil are fed between the hot stamping roller and the printing roller for one hot stamping process;
[0044] S2. The aluminum foil with laser electroplated aluminum foil is conveyed to the top of the transition unit. Under the pressing action of the pressing and conveying unit, the aluminum foil is arranged parallel to the hot plate and the cooling plate with a small gap between the aluminum foil and the hot plate and the cooling plate, so that the aluminum foil is hot-stamped a second time on the hot plate.
[0045] S3. The aluminum foil that has undergone secondary hot stamping is conveyed to the cooling plate and rapidly cooled, achieving rapid curing of the laser electroplated aluminum after hot stamping.
[0046] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0047] 1. This invention provides a transition unit at the rear end of the hot stamping roller and the printing roller. The transition unit is equipped with a hot press plate, a vacuum insulation plate and a cooling plate in sequence in the aluminum foil conveying direction. Under the combined action of the hot press plate and the pressure roller, the aluminum foil with laser electroplated aluminum foil is hot-pressed twice. This not only improves the hot pressing effect but also has a transition function. When the aluminum foil after the second hot pressing is transferred to the cooling plate, it is rapidly cooled, which allows the laser electroplated aluminum foil after the second hot pressing to solidify quickly and improve the bonding force between the laser electroplated aluminum foil and the aluminum foil.
[0048] 2. The present invention provides a heat insulation plate inside the cooling plate and an annular heat insulation element embedded in the side wall of the transition chamber. The annular heat insulation element is used to isolate heat transfer from the side wall of the cooling plate, and the heat insulation plate is used to isolate heat transfer from the internal space of the cooling plate. When the vacuum heat insulation plate fails, the cooling plate and the hot press plate still have a heat insulation effect. Attached Figure Description
