AI Technical Summary
During blister molding, when the mold shape is complex or the shape difference between different parts is large, the sheet is prone to paste, resulting in uneven product structure.
Sprinkle steel balls on the orifice plate to control the adsorption rate of the softened sheet at different parts, and ensure that the sheet is adsorbed to the mold part that is prone to sticking, thereby avoiding the occurrence of sticking.
By controlling the adsorption speed of the sheet, the occurrence of pasting is avoided, making the product structure more uniform. At the same time, the steel ball material is easy to obtain and reusable, and the cost of use and maintenance is low.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of plastic processing, in particular to a blister process for preventing materials from softening and sticking. Background Art
[0002] Vacuum forming is an important processing technology for plastic molding. The main principle is to heat and soften the flat plastic hard sheet material, then use vacuum to absorb it on the mold surface, and then cool it to form it. When the vacuum forming machine is in use, if the mold is high or the shapes of different parts are very different, it is easy for the sheets in different parts to fit the mold in a different order. The first sheet has been finalized, resulting in the area of the sheet in the later part being much larger than the area of the mold at that location, resulting in the phenomenon of sheet sticking, forming a structure similar to the shape of a reinforcing rib, which is not required for vacuum forming, resulting in unqualified products. For example, when the mold is a high rectangular parallelepiped, when the mold lifts up the softened sheet and starts to evacuate, the sheet will be successively adsorbed on the long side, short side, and corner of the rectangular parallelepiped. When it is adsorbed to the corner, it is easy for the sheet to stick due to excessive excess; if the last adsorbed part can be changed to the long side, due to the larger size of the long side, even if the sheet has excess, it is easier to evenly shrink and digest the excess under the action of suction, and no sticking will occur. Summary of the invention
[0003] In view of the problems existing in the existing vacuum forming technology mentioned in the background technology, the present invention controls the speed at which different parts of the softened sheet are adsorbed to the orifice plate by sprinkling steel balls on the orifice plate, thereby first adsorbing the sheet to the mold parts prone to sticking, avoiding the formation of a structure similar to a reinforcing rib, and making the product structure uniform.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problem is: a blister process for preventing material softening and sticking, comprising the following steps:
[0005] S1. Make samples: Place the sheet on the orifice plate of the blister machine, use a clamping device to clamp the sheet, then use a heating device to heat and soften the sheet, use a lifting device to push the mold upward, use a suction pump to adsorb the softened sheet to the mold and the orifice plate, then remove the heating device to cool the molded product, and demold the product. This step is to use the blister machine and adopt a conventional blister process to produce a sample of the product.
[0006] S2. Observe the sample and process the orifice plate: Observe whether there is a part where the sheet is pasted on the product sample obtained in step S1. If so, observe and determine the position of the part on the mold and the orifice plate, and sprinkle steel balls on the orifice plate on both sides of the position, and then spread the steel balls evenly so that all the steel balls enter the holes of the orifice plate.
[0007] S3, orifice plate debugging: Use the orifice plate obtained in step S2 to perform the operation of step S1 to make a sample again, and observe whether the remade sample has returned to normal at the location where the original sheet was pasted. If not, increase the number of steel balls set on the orifice plates on both sides of the sheet pasting location in step S2, and then repeat steps S1 to S2 until the product obtained after executing step S1 returns to normal at the location where the original sheet was pasted. In this step, if too many steel balls are placed or scattered in the wrong place, the steel balls can be sucked away with a vacuum cleaner and reused.
[0008] S4, product production: use the orifice plate obtained in step S3 to perform the operation of step S1, and cut and store the product obtained in step S1. This step is the mass production of the product.
[0009] S5. Replace the mold: When it is necessary to replace other molds for production, use a vacuum cleaner to suck away all the steel balls on the orifice plate and recycle them, and replace the original mold with a new mold. If the product produced by the new mold has no quality problems, it will be produced normally. If there is a problem with sheet sticking, repeat steps S1 to S4.
[0010] Steps S1 to S5 need to be implemented with the help of a blister machine, which includes a frame, a lifting device, a perforated plate, a mold, a shrinkage chamber, a heating device, a pressing device, a vacuum cleaner and steel balls; the interior of the frame is a hollow structure, and an air suction pump is arranged in the frame; the lifting device is arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity of the frame; the perforated plate is arranged on the top of the lifting device, and through holes are evenly arranged on the perforated plate; the mold is arranged on the perforated plate; the shrinkage chamber is arranged at the upper rear of the frame; the heating device is arranged above the frame and the rear end of the heating device is slidably connected to the shrinkage chamber; the pressing device is arranged on the top of the frame; the vacuum cleaner is mounted on the side wall of the frame; and the steel balls are located in the through holes of some perforated plates.
[0011] Preferably, a blowing device is also provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the frame to assist the mold in lifting the softened sheet.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom diameter of the through hole arranged on the orifice plate is smaller than the top diameter; after the steel ball is placed in the through hole of the orifice plate, the height of the top of the steel ball is not higher than the height of the top surface of the orifice plate, so that the sheet material is not easy to contact and stick to the steel ball during the adsorption process, thereby sticking the steel ball away.
[0013] Preferably, the orifice plate is made of ferromagnetic material that can be attracted by a magnet, such as stainless steel. An electromagnet is provided on the bottom surface of the orifice plate. The electromagnet works during the sheet adsorption and demoulding process to prevent the steel balls from being stuck to the sheet.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0015] (1) The present invention controls the distribution of the through holes of the orifice plate by sprinkling steel beads on the orifice plate, thereby controlling the adsorption force of different parts on the sheet. The sheet near the unblocked through holes will be adsorbed first and can approach the mold faster, so that the sheet is first adsorbed to the mold part that is prone to sticking, avoiding the formation of a structure similar to a reinforcing rib, making the product structure uniform.
[0016] (2) Steel ball materials are easy to obtain and can be reused. After the steel balls are sprinkled on a mold each time, they can be used without maintenance until a new mold is needed, and the use and maintenance costs are low. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
