Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lunch box forming moulds, in particular to a hot pressing mould for forming starch lunch boxes. Background Art

[0002] Lunch boxes are one of the most widely used daily necessities in human life. Lunch boxes can be divided into two types according to the number of times they are used: disposable and reusable. The former are generally divided into plastic lunch boxes and paper lunch boxes. Among them, starch lunch boxes are easy to degrade and are beneficial to environmental protection.

[0003] The existing hot pressing molded products are mostly connected to the hot pressing materials. However, due to the changes in the raised cavities on the lunch boxes, it is difficult for ordinary hydraulic trimming machines to squeeze and cut the materials smoothly, and a specific supporting mold is required for support, which makes the separation of the lunch box molded products a hassle. In addition, the separated lunch box molded products are easy to fall over and scatter during mobile transportation, which is not convenient for stacking. Therefore, a post-processing process is required, which seriously affects the work efficiency. In the prior art, the pressure and temperature change during the hot pressing process. The changes in pressure and temperature will cause the actual required hot pressing time to be longer than the preset hot pressing time. If the preset hot pressing time is used to perform the operation, the hot pressing material will not be able to fully flow and fill the mold cavity, and the product will be partially short of material, resulting in the shape of the product not being consistent with the design and the dimensional accuracy failing to meet the requirements. In addition, due to insufficient hot pressing time, the molecules inside the hot pressing material do not have enough time to rearrange in the mold, resulting in large differences in density in different parts of the product. In areas with low density, the mechanical properties of the product, such as strength and stiffness, will be significantly reduced, affecting the quality and performance of the product.
