DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0058] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0059] Embodiment 1:

[0060] like Figure 1-Figure 12 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a plastic film heating and forming mechanism, comprising: a heating seat 5, a forming lower mold 6, a transfer upper mold 7, a driving member 9 and a plurality of annular members a.

[0061] The annular part a is an auxiliary part independent of the plastic film heating and forming mechanism.

[0062] The top of the heating seat 5 has a first annular step opening, and the annular member a can be sleeved at the first annular step opening. The top of the molding lower mold 6 has a second annular step opening, and the annular member a can also be sleeved at the second annular step opening. Two groups of transfer upper molds 7 are provided, and the two groups of transfer upper molds 7 correspond to the heating seat 5 and the molding lower mold 6 respectively, wherein the transfer upper mold 7 and the heating seat 5 can constitute a heating structure, and the transfer upper mold 7 and the molding lower mold 6 can constitute a molding structure. A clamping member 702 is provided on the side of the transfer upper mold 7, and an air hole 701a is provided at the bottom of the cavity 701 of the transfer upper mold 7. The action end of the driving member 9 is fixedly installed with the two groups of transfer upper molds 7. The driving member 9 is used to exchange the positions of the two groups of transfer upper molds 7. The annular member a matches the first annular step opening and the second annular step opening.

[0063] When in use, one group of transfer upper molds 7 and the heating seat 5 form a heating structure to heat the plastic film, and the other group of transfer upper molds 7 and the molding lower mold 6 form a molding structure to mold the heated plastic film. When the positions of the two groups of transfer upper molds 7 are exchanged, one group of transfer upper molds 7 transfers the molded product and moves it to the top of the heating seat 5 to prepare to form a heating structure with the heating seat 5, and the other group of transfer upper molds 7 carries the heated plastic film to the molding lower mold 6, and forms a molding structure with the molding lower mold 6 to mold the heated plastic film. Such a cycle can realize efficient production of plastic containers.

[0064] In the process of transferring the upper mold 7 carrying the heated plastic film to the molding lower mold 6, the clamping part 702 can clamp the annular part a under the plastic film, and the annular part a and the bottom of the transfer upper mold 7 squeeze the edge of the heated plastic film, and draw a negative pressure into the cavity 701 of the transfer upper mold 7. At this time, the heated plastic film can be stably connected to the transfer upper mold 7, thereby solving the problem that the sheet plastic film is difficult to transfer after heating and softening.

[0065] In one embodiment, it also includes: a flattening component 2, a shearing component 3 and a power roller 4.

The power roller 4 is arranged between the shearing component 3 and the flattening component 2 and is used to drive the plastic film 1.

[0067] The power roller 4 generally adopts a double-roller structure, and the double rollers are directly driven to rotate by a motor, so that the plastic film 1 can move forward. Since the plastic film 1 is wound around the roller, the plastic film 1 is relatively bent when it is untied from the roller. When passing through the flattening component 2, the flattening component 2 flattens the plastic film 1. The flattened plastic film 1 passes through the shearing component 3. The shearing component 3 can cut the flattened plastic film 1 into sheets of predetermined size according to a predetermined length. The heating seat 5 is located on one side of the shearing component 3. A guide frame 8 is also provided between the shearing component 3 and the heating seat 5. The cut sheet of predetermined size of the plastic film falls along the guide frame 8 onto the heating seat 5, realizing automatic loading on the heating seat 5, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.

The upper pressing plate 204 and the lower pressing plate 205 can flatten the plastic film passing therebetween, and the sides of the upper pressing plate 204 and the lower pressing plate 205 are fixedly connected with rods corresponding to the first vertical sliding holes, and the rods slide up and down in the first vertical sliding holes, thereby guiding the movement of the upper pressing plate 204 and the lower pressing plate 205. The dome frame 203 is fixedly installed on the top of the four groups of support columns 202, and the four groups of support columns 202 are composed of two groups of arch frames.

[0071] The upper pressing plate 204 and the lower pressing plate 205 have the same structure and are symmetrically positioned up and down; the upper pressing plate 204 includes a shell 204b, a heating tube 204c is arranged inside the shell 204b, a plate body 204a is fixedly installed on the top of the shell 204b, the heating tube 204c heats the shell 204b, and when the shell 204b contacts the plastic film, the plastic film is softened and then flattened.

[0072] In one embodiment, the shearing assembly 3 includes: a first frame 301, an upper shearing piece 302, and a lower shearing piece 303.

When the contraction opening horizontally squeezes the matching rods at the ends of the upper shearing piece 302 and the lower shearing piece 303, the upper shearing piece 302 and the lower shearing piece 303 perform a shearing action.

[0074] Specifically, the shrinkage opening is "V"-shaped. When the shrinkage opening squeezes the matching rods on the upper shearing piece 302 and the lower shearing piece 303, the upper shearing piece 302 and the lower shearing piece 303 overcome the elastic force of the elastic block 304, and the upper shearing piece 302 and the lower shearing piece 303 close to cut the plastic film.

[0075] The bottom of the lower shearing piece 303 is fixedly connected with an elastic frame 303a, and the elastic frame 303a is elastically supported at the bottom of the second vertical sliding hole to prevent the lower shearing piece 303 from colliding with the bottom of the second vertical sliding hole when falling.
