Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lunch box production, and in particular relates to a thermoforming mould for lunch box production. Background Art

[0002] In the manufacturing field of plastic products such as disposable lunch boxes, thermoforming molds are key equipment for achieving efficient and precise production. However, traditional thermoforming mold systems usually consist of multiple independent power mechanisms that work together to achieve mold closing / opening actions and lateral conveying of plastic sheets. However, such designs have the following technical defects: 1. The lateral movement of the plastic sheet and the vertical movement of the mold need to be strictly coordinated in time, but the independent drive system is easily affected by the control accuracy and prone to movement dislocation.

[0003] 2. Increased failure probability and debugging difficulty. For example, in the lunch box production cycle, mold opening and closing, plastic feeding and other actions need to be triggered by different control systems, which can easily lead to finished product defects due to signal delays or parameter mismatches.

[0004] 3. Long-term high-load operation of multiple power mechanisms causes energy waste and increases the complexity of the mechanical structure and maintenance costs.

[0016] A plurality of air permeation holes penetrating up and down are evenly provided inside the lower template.

[0017] The cooperation of the ratchet, pawl, spring piece, spur gear and power rack enables the walking mechanism to synchronously control the movement of the plastic sheet when the upper template and the lower template are opened, and the intermittent transmission of the plastic sheet stops moving during the thermoplastic operation of the mold.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] like Figure 1-11 As shown, a thermoforming mold for lunch box production includes a support 1, an upper template 2 and a lower template 3 are installed on the upper side of the support 1, a cylinder 4 fixed to the support 1 is vertically installed on the upper side of the upper template 2 of the support 1, the output end of the cylinder 4 is transmission-connected to the upper template 2, and a walking mechanism is symmetrically installed on the front and rear sides of the support 1; The walking mechanism includes rotating shafts 5 which are spaced apart from each other and are rotatably connected to the support 1. A transmission wheel 6 is drivingly connected to the rear side of each rotating shaft 5. A plurality of sprocket groups 7 are installed on the front side of the support 1. The sprocket groups 7 are arranged on the left and right sides and staggered front and back. The sprocket groups 7 adjacent to each other on the left and right sides are connected end to end. The plurality of rotating shafts 5 are respectively connected to the corresponding sprocket groups 7. A pressing wheel 8 matching with the transmission wheels 6 is rotatably installed on the upper side. A disc 9 rotatably connected to the support 1 is installed on the front side of the sprocket group 7, and the disc 9 is transmission connected to one of the rotating shafts 5. A circular cavity 10 is opened on the inner side of the disc 9, and a ratchet 11 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the circular cavity 10. A pawl 12 hinged to the circular cavity 10 is installed on the side of the ratchet 11, and a spring sheet 13 is installed on the side of the pawl 12. The two ends of the spring sheet 13 are respectively fixedly connected to the middle part of the pawl 12 and the side of the circular cavity 10. A spur gear 14 transmission connected to the ratchet 11 is rotatably installed on the front side of the disc 9, and a power rack 15 meshing with the spur gear 14 is vertically installed on the side of the spur gear 14, and the power rack 15 is transmission connected to the upper template 2.

[0033] When the present invention is in use, the thermoplastic plastic sheet to be processed is introduced between the transmission wheel 6 and the pressing wheel 8 on the left side. Each sprocket wheel group 7 includes a combination of two left and right sprocket wheels and a chain. Multiple groups of sprocket wheel groups 7 are connected end to end to realize that each transmission wheel 6 can rotate synchronously. The cylinder 4 on the upper side is used to drive the upper template 2 to move up and down so as to realize the rapid mold closing / opening with the lower template 3 and process the plastic sheet. When the upper template 2 moves downward, the power rack 15 drives the spur gear 14 to rotate, and at this time, a relative displacement is generated between the ratchet 11 and the disc 9, so that the plastic sheet will not move. After the lunch box is thermoplasticized, the upper template 2 moves upward to separate from the lower template 3. At this time, the spur gear 14 rotates in the opposite direction under the action of the power rack 15. At this time, the transmission wheel 6 rotates at the same time under the cooperation of the ratchet 11, the pawl 12 and the spring sheet 13, realizing the automatic displacement of the plastic sheet.

[0034] The coordination of the ratchet 11, the pawl 12, the spring sheet 13, the spur gear 14 and the power rack 15 enables the traveling mechanism to synchronously control the movement of the plastic sheet when the upper mold plate 2 and the lower mold plate 3 are opened, and to stop the movement of the plastic sheet during the thermoplastic operation of the mold. This arrangement makes full use of the energy of the cylinder 4, while also realizing automatic timing coordination between the mold and the traveling mechanism, reducing the possibility of finished product defects, and making the overall structure of the mold simple and reliable, reducing maintenance costs and the production cost of lunch boxes.

[0035] A slide bar 16 is vertically installed in the middle of the power rack 15 and is slidably connected to it up and down. An abutment block 17 that abuts against the power rack 15 is fixed at the bottom of the slide bar 16. A control rod 18 fixed to the upper template 2 is installed on the upper side of the slide bar 16. A support spring 19 is sleeved on the outer side of the slide bar 16. The upper and lower ends of the support spring 19 are fixedly connected to the control rod 18 and the power rack 15 respectively. A limit block 20 is fixed on the left side of the power rack 15, and a limit rod 21 matching the limit block 20 is fixed on the upper side of the support 1.

[0036] When the upper template 2 moves downward and has not completely merged with the lower template 3, the limit block 20 facilitates the abutment of the limit rod 21. At this time, the power rack 15 cannot move. When the lunch box is thermoformed and the upper template 2 moves upward and separates from the lower template 3 for a distance, the limit block 20 facilitates the separation of the limit rod 21. At this time, the abutment block 17 abuts against the lower side of the power rack 15. At this time, the support spring 19 cooperates with the abutment block 17 to simultaneously control the power rack 15 to move upward. At this time, the transmission wheel 6 starts to rotate under the action of the disc 9.

[0037] The cooperation of the sliding power rack 15, the supporting spring 19, the abutment block 17, the limit block 20 and the limit rod 21 ensures that the conveying wheel 6 can drive the plastic sheet to move only after the upper template 2 and the lower template 3 are separated to a certain distance, thereby preventing the plastic sheet from moving when the mold is not completely separated from the lunch box, thereby protecting the processed lunch box and improving the stability of the lunch box production process.

[0038] Each disc 9 is symmetrically provided with elastic telescopic rods 22 on both sides, and the elastic telescopic rods 22 are fixedly connected to the support 1. The disc 9 is provided with matching friction blocks 23 on both sides, and each friction block 23 is transmission-connected to the output end of the elastic telescopic rod 22 at the corresponding position.

[0039] The elastic telescopic rod 22 makes the friction block 23 always contact with the disc 9, so as not to affect the driving of the transmission wheel by the power rack 15, and prevent the transmission wheel 6 from accidentally rotating due to external force, thereby improving the transmission accuracy of the transmission wheel 6 for the plastic sheet.

[0040] A plurality of limiting columns 24 are vertically fixed to the upper side of the upper template 2 and the lower side of the lower template 3. A sliding sleeve 25 is sleeved outside the limiting column 24 and is slidably connected thereto. The sliding sleeves 25 on the upper and lower sides are both fixedly connected to the support 1. A synchronous component for controlling its position is installed on the side surface of the lower template 3.

[0041] The cooperation between the limiting rod 21 and the sliding sleeve 25 is used to limit the lateral positions of the upper template 2 and the lower template 3, so that the upper template 2 and the lower template 3 are more accurately closed, thereby enhancing the product consistency, ensuring the production quality of the lunch box, and improving the reliability of the mold.

[0042] There are two groups of synchronous components and they are symmetrically installed on the front and rear sides of the support 1. The synchronous component includes a synchronous gear 26 rotatably connected to the support 1. Upper racks 27 and lower racks 28 are symmetrically installed on the side circumference of the synchronous gear 26. The upper side of the upper rack 27 is fixedly connected to the upper template 2, and the lower side of the lower rack 28 is fixedly connected to the lower template 3.

[0043] The front and rear symmetric synchronous components enable the upper template 2 and the lower template 3 to run synchronously and in opposite directions through the cooperation of the upper rack 27, the lower rack 28 and the synchronous gear 26. This movement mode reduces the up and down displacement of the plastic sheet during the forming process, thereby improving the forming accuracy of the lunch box. At the same time, the driving of the cylinder 4 combined with the rack mechanism of the synchronous gear 26 ensures that the upper / lower template 3 moves synchronously and quickly, shortening the forming cycle.

[0044] A plurality of limiting grooves 29 are respectively opened on the middle and adjacent sides of the upper template 2 and the lower template 3. A vertically penetrating chute 30 is opened in the middle of each limiting groove 29. A sliding rod 31 is slidably installed up and down inside the chute 30. A top block 32 matching the limiting groove 29 is fixed to the lower end of the upper sliding rod 31 and the upper end of the lower sliding rod 31. A frustum 33 is fixed to the top end of the upper sliding rod 31 and the bottom end of the lower sliding rod 31. Support plates 34 are fixed to the upper side of the upper template 2 and the lower side of the lower template 3. A return spring 35 is sleeved outside the sliding rod 31. The upper and lower ends of the return spring 35 are respectively in transmission connection with the support plate 34 and the frustum 33. An air cylinder 36 is installed on the lower side of the lower template 3. A piston 37 matching the air cylinder 36 is assembled inside the air cylinder 36. The piston 37 is in transmission connection with the lower template 3. An exhaust pipe 38 is installed at the bottom of the air cylinder 36 and is connected to the air cylinder 36 through a pipeline. An air inlet pipe 39 is installed on the upper side of the exhaust pipe 38. A one-way valve 40 is installed in the middle of the air inlet pipe 39. Air blowing holes 41 respectively penetrating through the upper template 2 and the lower template 3 are opened on the side surfaces of the sliding rods 31. A plurality of air blowing holes 41 are all connected to the exhaust pipe 38 through pipelines.

[0045] When the upper template 2 and the lower template 3 are simultaneously merged toward the middle to close the film, the return spring 35 makes the top block 32 located inside the limit groove 29 to form a complete whole with the mold. At this time, the piston 37 moves upward, and the one-way valve 40 allows air to enter the inside of the air cylinder 36 through the air inlet pipe 39. When the upper template 2 and the lower template 3 are separated outward at the same time, the piston 37 moves downward and blows the air inside the cylinder into the blowing hole 41 through the exhaust pipe 38 and lifts the top block 32 and finally blows it between the upper template 2 and the lower template 3, so that the formed lunch box is separated from between the molds.

[0046] The piston 37 linked to the lower template 3 enables the lower template 3 to blow air into the lunch box through the exhaust pipe 38 via the compressed air through the air cylinder 36 when it moves downward, so that the thermoplasticized lunch box can be automatically demoulded when the upper template 2 and the lower template 3 are opened outward, ensuring that the mold can continue to operate, reducing manual dependence, and at the same time reducing the risk of damage to the lunch box when demoulding.

[0047] A plurality of vertical rods 42 spaced apart on the left and right sides are installed on the front and rear sides of the support 1. A horizontal plate 43 facing left and right is slidably connected on the upper side of the vertical rod 42. The pressing wheels 8 on the front and rear sides are rotatably connected to the horizontal plates 43 on the front and rear sides respectively. A pressing spring 44 is sleeved on the outer side of the vertical rod 42. The upper and lower ends of the pressing spring 44 are fixedly connected to the top of the vertical rod 42 and the upper side of the horizontal plate 43 respectively.

[0048] The cooperation between the horizontal plate 43 and the pressing spring 44 enables the pressing wheel 8 to always obtain downward pressure, thereby increasing the friction between the plastic sheet and the conveying wheel 6, preventing it from relative displacement with the conveying wheel 6 when moving, and further improving the movement accuracy of the plastic sheet when the mold is working. At the same time, the clamping force of the pressing wheel 8 on the material can be automatically adjusted to adapt to the production of lunch boxes of different thicknesses or materials.

[0049] Limiting hooks 45 are fixed to the lower side of the upper rack 27 and the upper side of the lower rack 28 . The lower limiting hook 45 abuts against the right side of the lower rack 28 , and the upper limiting hook 45 abuts against the left side of the upper rack 27 .

[0050] The upper and lower limit hooks 45 can assist in stabilizing the upper rack 27 and the lower rack 28, further improving the operational stability and reliability of the synchronization assembly.

[0051] A transmission shaft 46 that runs through the front and rear is rotatably installed on the left side of the support 1. The two leftmost transmission wheels 6 on the front and rear are both connected to the transmission shaft 46. The transmission shaft 46 has a crank handle 47 that is concentrically fixed on the front and rear.

[0052] The arrangement of the transmission shaft 46 and the cranks 47 on the front and rear sides allows the user to control the transmission wheel 6 to transmit the plastic sheet only by turning the crank 47 during installation, thereby facilitating the installation of the plastic sheet and further improving the ease of use of the mold equipment.

[0053] A plurality of air vents 48 penetrating up and down are evenly arranged inside the lower template 3.

[0054] During the thermoforming process of the lunch box, the air vents 48 can effectively prevent the gas generated by the heating of the plastic sheet from accumulating in the cavity of the concave surface inside the mold, avoiding the formation of bubbles or voids, thereby ensuring the surface quality of the formed product and the uniformity of the internal structure.

Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical idea disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
