Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of plastic processing equipment, and specifically to a thermoforming device for degradable plastic plates. Background Technique

[0002] Thermoforming is a plastic processing technology. After heating a thermoplastic sheet to a softened state, it is made to adhere to the surface of a mold by means of vacuum suction force, and a product with a specific shape is obtained after cooling and shaping. The specific process includes: fixing a plastic sheet (such as PVC, PET, etc.) on a heating device, moving it above the mold after softening, evacuating the air to make the sheet tightly adhere to the contour of the mold, demolding after curing by a cooling system, and trimming the excess edge material. This technology has low cost and high efficiency and is widely used in the mass production of products such as food packaging, electronic product casings, and medical device trays.

[0003] A Chinese patent discloses an adjustable thermoforming packaging machine (authorization publication number CN118721685B). This patent includes a bearing seat, on which a frame is installed. A hydraulic cylinder is installed on the frame. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder faces downward and is equipped with a connecting rod. A upper pressing plate is sleeved at the bottom end of the connecting rod. It further includes: a forming mechanism, including a mold box installed on the bearing seat. The mold box is located below the upper pressing plate and has an open top. The open end of the mold box is used to place a female mold, and the top of the female mold is used to place the heated thermoplastic material. An air suction hole is opened at the bottom end of the female mold; a cooling mechanism, installed on the bearing seat, which is used to convey a flowing cooling medium into the mold box.

[0021] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] Embodiment 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 7, in an embodiment of the present invention, a thermoforming device for a degradable plastic sheet includes a thermoforming assembly 1. The thermoforming assembly 1 includes a mounting shell 101. Inside the mounting shell 101, there is a thermoforming cylinder 102 fixedly connected above a vacuum pump 111 through an air suction pipe 106. A mesh plate 103 for placing a mold 104 and supporting the plastic sheet is slidably connected inside the thermoforming cylinder 102. The mesh plate 103 is of a breathable structure to help the vacuum pump 111 extract the air below and inside the softened plastic sheet. A mold 104 for thermoforming the plastic sheet is installed on the upper sidewall of the mesh plate 103. Two cylinders 105 for driving the mesh plate 103 to move up and down are fixedly connected between the lower inner wall of the thermoforming cylinder 102 and the lower sidewall of the mesh plate 103. The lower end of the thermoforming cylinder 102 is fixedly connected with an air suction pipe 106 that communicates with the vacuum pump 111 to achieve air extraction. Two connecting pipes 107 are communicated between the sidewall of the air suction pipe 106 and the lower sidewall of the thermoforming cylinder 102. During use, according to the need of the shape of the plastic workpiece, one of the connecting pipes 107 can be communicated with the mold 104 through an air pipe to make the mold 104 generate suction, thereby improving the adhesion between the plastic sheet and the mold 104 and making the plastic workpiece better formed. An air distribution cylinder 108 for changing the air flow channel is slidably connected inside the air suction pipe 106. Sealing rings are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower ends of the air distribution cylinder 108. The bottom of the air distribution cylinder 108 is set to be open, and the top is set to be closed. Air holes matching the connecting pipes 107 are drilled on the sidewall of the air distribution cylinder 108. Two rubber rings are fixedly connected to the sidewall of the air distribution cylinder 108 beside the air holes. The rubber rings abut against the inner wall of the air suction pipe 106 to improve the sealing performance beside the air holes. A connecting rod 109 for driving the air distribution cylinder 108 to move is fixedly connected between the upper end of the air distribution cylinder 108 and the lower sidewall of the mesh plate 103. An air extraction pipe 110 for making the suction assembly 4 generate suction is communicated with the sidewall of the air suction pipe 106. The air extraction pipe 110 is communicated with the vacuum pump 111 through the air suction pipe 106. The air extraction pipe 110 will not be affected by the movement of the air distribution cylinder 108. As long as the vacuum pump 111 is in the startup state, the suction assembly 4 will generate suction through the air extraction pipe 110. The lower inner wall of the mounting shell 101 is fixedly connected with a vacuum pump 111 by bolts. The vacuum pump 111 is provided with an air inlet end for vacuum extraction and an air outlet end for exhaust. The air inlet end of the vacuum pump 111 is communicated and fixed with the lower end of the air suction pipe 106. A cooling assembly 2 for cooling the plastic workpiece is communicated with the sidewall of the air suction pipe 106. A rotating assembly 3 for realizing the conveyance of the plastic sheet is installed on the upper inner wall of the mounting shell 101. A plurality of suction assemblies 4 for sucking the plastic sheet are fixedly connected to the rotating assembly 3. A gas cut-off assembly 5 for enabling the suction assembly 4 to discharge materials is fixedly connected between the end of the air extraction pipe 110 far away from the air suction pipe 106 and the adjustment pipe 406 in the suction assembly 4. A heating furnace 6 for heating the plastic sheet and an upper plate mechanism 7 for conveying the plastic sheet are respectively fixedly connected to the upper sidewall and the left sidewall of the mounting shell 101. The upper plate mechanism 7 is a stepping sheet delivery mechanism.The upper plate mechanism 7 realizes the successive separation and conveyance of sheets through intermittent movement, ensuring that only one sheet is delivered to the target station each time. The structure and principle of the upper plate mechanism 7 are both prior arts and will not be elaborated here. The upper plate mechanism 7 can be freely customized according to actual needs, or a fully automatic upper plate machine of Herui Technology, model HR-AU-250, can be used. It should be noted that the material taking height of the upper plate mechanism 7 needs to be consistent with the processing height of the plastic suction cylinder 102, and a collecting groove 8 for facilitating the taking of plastic workpieces is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the installation shell 101; The cooling assembly 2 includes an air extraction port 201 drilled in the air suction pipe 106. A moving plate 202 is slidably connected inside the air extraction port 201 in a manner of being clamped by a chute. A fixed pipe 203 is sleeved and fixedly connected to the air suction pipe 106. A conversion pipe 204 is communicated and fixed to the fixed pipe 203. The conversion pipe 204 can be communicated with the upper half of the air extraction port 201. When the air distribution cylinder 108 moves upward, it will drive the moving plate 202 to move upward through friction, so that the moving plate 202 closes the upper half of the air extraction port 201. At this time, the conversion pipe 204 is in a closed state. When the air distribution cylinder 108 moves downward, it will drive the moving plate 202 to move downward, so that the upper half of the air extraction port 201 is opened. At this time, the conversion pipe 204 is communicated with the air suction pipe 106. The air outlet end of the vacuum pump 111 is communicated and fixed with an air pipe 213, and the air pipe 213 is cross-connected and fixed with the conversion pipe 204. A gas distribution valve plug 205 is slidably connected inside the conversion pipe 204, and the gas distribution valve plug 205 is located at the cross intersection of the air pipe 213. Two limit ring blocks 206 for restricting the stroke of the gas distribution valve plug 205 are fixedly connected inside the conversion pipe 204, and the gas distribution valve plug 205 is located between the two limit ring blocks 206. A return spring 207 for resetting the gas distribution valve plug 205 is fixedly connected between the end of the gas distribution valve plug 205 away from the air suction pipe 106 and the inner wall of the end of the conversion pipe 204 away from the air suction pipe 106. An air vent is opened on the inner wall of the end of the conversion pipe 204 away from the air suction pipe 106 to prevent the conversion pipe 204 from generating air pressure and causing the gas distribution valve plug 205 to be unable to move. An air inlet pipe 208 for sucking external air and an air outlet pipe 209 for discharging gas are communicated and fixed to the upper side wall of the conversion pipe 204. An L-shaped air inlet cavity 210 and a T-shaped air outlet cavity 211 are drilled in the gas distribution valve plug 205. When the gas distribution valve plug 205 abuts against the limit ring block 206 close to the air suction pipe 106, the air inlet cavity 210 can be communicated with the air inlet pipe 208. At this time, the air outlet cavity 211 is communicated with the gas distribution valve plug 205. When the gas distribution valve plug 205 abuts against the limit ring block 206 close to the return spring 207, the gas distribution valve plug 205 is communicated with the air outlet pipe 209 through the air outlet cavity 211. A wind distribution box 212 for diverting the blown air is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the installation shell 101. The wind distribution box 212 is located directly above the plastic suction cylinder 102. The wind distribution box 212 can divert the air flow so that the air can be evenly blown onto the surface of the plastic workpiece. The structure and principle of the wind distribution box 212 are both prior arts and will not be described in detail here. And the air pipe 213 is communicated with the air inlet end of the wind distribution box 212.

[0023] Embodiment 2: Please refer to Figures 7 to 12, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the rotating assembly 3 includes a rotating box 301 rotatably connected to the inner upper wall of the mounting shell 101. A motor 302 is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the mounting shell 101 by bolts, and the output end of the motor 302 is fixedly connected to the rotating box 301 to enable the motor 302 to drive the rotating box 301 to rotate. Two moving plates 303 are slidably connected to the left and right side walls and the front and rear side walls of the rotating box 301 in a vertical sliding manner by means of opening chutes. The two ends between adjacent two moving plates 303 are fixedly connected to the suction assembly 4. The moving plates 303 slidably connected to the front and rear side walls of the rotating box 301 are convex upward at the intersection of the moving plates 303 on the other side to prevent the moving plates 303 on the other side from contacting each other and affecting their respective vertical movements, while the heights of the other parts of the moving plates 303 are equal. Two tension springs 304 are fixedly connected between the multiple moving plates 303 and the inner upper wall of the rotating box 301, which makes the heights of the multiple suction assemblies 4 equal in the initial state. Magnets 305 for driving the moving plates 303 to move are fixedly connected to the multiple moving plates 303. Two electromagnets 306 are fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the mounting shell 101 by bolts, and the electromagnets 306 and the magnets 305 are magnetically repulsive. When the electromagnets 306 are activated, the magnets 305 and the moving plates 303 can be pushed downward by magnetic repulsive force, so that the moving plates 303 drive the corresponding suction assemblies 4 to move downward. It should be noted that since the electromagnets 306 are arranged on the left and right sides, when the electromagnets 306 are activated, the suction assemblies 4 on the left and right sides are automatically driven to move downward.

[0024] The suction assembly 4 includes a suction box 401. A plurality of sealing ring blocks 402 are inserted into the lower side wall of the suction box 401. A sealing structure is arranged on the inner side wall of the sealing ring blocks 402. A plurality of insertion tubes 403 are inserted into the plurality of sealing ring blocks 402, so that when the insertion tubes 403 move up and down, it will not cause the outside air to enter due to negative pressure. The lower ends of the plurality of insertion tubes 403 are connected and fixed to suction cups 404 for sucking the surface of the plastic plate. The same synchronous frame 405 is fixedly connected between the plurality of insertion tubes 403. The synchronous frame 405 can control the plurality of insertion tubes 403 to move up and down simultaneously through the moving plates 303 to help the plurality of suction cups 404 better fit the surface of the plastic plate, and the side wall of the synchronous frame 405 is fixedly connected to two adjacent moving plates 303. An adjustment tube 406 is communicated with the suction box 401.

[0025] The air-breaking component 5 includes a rotating pipe 501 fixedly connected to the lower side wall of the rotating box 301, and one end of the air extraction pipe 110 far from the air suction pipe 106 is inserted into the interior of the rotating pipe 501. Two mechanical seals 502 are fixedly connected to the air extraction pipe 110. An air extraction notch 503 is formed in the air extraction pipe 110, and the width of the air extraction notch 503 occupies three-quarters of the circumference of the air extraction pipe 110. The remaining unformed part of the air extraction pipe 110 faces the collection tank 8. The air extraction notch 503 is located between the two mechanical seals 502. Two sealing strips 504 are fixedly connected between the two mechanical seals 502, and the sealing strips 504 are fixedly connected to the remaining unformed side wall of the air extraction pipe 110.

[0026] The working principle of the present invention is: When the present invention is in use, the staff first starts the vacuum pump 111. Since the air suction pipe 106 is communicated with the air extraction pipe 110, after the vacuum pump 111 is started, the air extraction pipe 110 generates suction through the air suction pipe 106. The air extraction pipe 110 makes the adjustment pipe 406 communicated with the air extraction notch 503 generate suction through the air-breaking component 5, so that the three extraction frames 401 generate suction, and finally the suction cups 404 generate suction. Then the staff starts the electromagnet 306, so that the electromagnet 306 can drive the moving plate 303 to move downward through the repulsive force with the magnetic block 305. Both ends of the moving plate 303 drive a plurality of insertion pipes 403 on the left and right sides to move downward simultaneously through the synchronous frame 405. The insertion pipes 403 drive the suction cups 404 to move downward. The plurality of suction cups 404 on the left suction component 4 can suck the plastic plates on the upper plate mechanism 7. The suction cups 404 on the right press the plastic plates that have been sucked and softened by the heating furnace 6 onto the upper end of the plastic suction cylinder 102 for plastic suction molding processing. During the thermoforming process, first, the air cylinder 105 is activated to drive the screen plate 103 and the mold 104 upward, so that the mold 104 pushes the softened plastic sheet. When the screen plate 103 moves to the highest point, the screen plate 103 pulls the air distribution cylinder 108 through the connecting rod 109, so that the air holes of the air distribution cylinder 108 are communicated with the connecting pipe 107. At this time, the vacuum pump 111 starts to extract the air inside the thermoforming cylinder 102 through the suction pipe 106, the air distribution cylinder 108 and the connecting pipe 107. Under the action of the negative pressure inside the thermoforming cylinder 102, the softened plastic sheet gradually adheres to the mold 104 and begins to form. After the plastic surface is formed, the air cylinder 105 drives the screen plate 103 downward to separate the plastic workpiece from the mold 104. When the screen plate 103 moves downward, it will push the air distribution cylinder 108 downward through the connecting rod 109. At this time, the air distribution cylinder 108 will drive the moving plate 202 downward under the action of friction. At this time, the upper half of the air extraction port 201 is opened. When the air holes of the air distribution cylinder 108 correspond to the air extraction port 201, the conversion pipe 204 generates negative pressure, causing the air distribution valve plug 205 to be adsorbed and move. When the air distribution valve plug 205 abuts against the limit ring block 206 close to the suction pipe 106, the air inlet cavity 210 can be communicated with the air inlet pipe 208, and the air outlet cavity 211 is communicated with the air distribution valve plug 205. At this time, the outside air enters through the air inlet pipe 208, and the air discharged by the vacuum pump 111 is blown to the surface of the plastic workpiece through the air duct 213 and the air distribution box 212, as Figure 12 shown, which plays a further cooling role, making the polylactic acid molecular chains arranged more regularly, helping to improve the mechanical properties such as the strength and hardness of the product. Previously, the gas discharged by the vacuum pump 111 during thermoforming was discharged through the air duct 213, the air outlet cavity 211 and the air outlet pipe 209, as Figure 1 shown; After the next plastic sheet is heated, the electromagnet 306 is powered off and the motor 302 is started. After the electromagnet 306 is powered off, the moving plate 303 resets under the action of the tension spring 304. The moving plate 303 will drive the inserting pipe 403 and the sucked plastic part upward through the synchronous frame 405. At this time, the inserting pipe 403 on the left will suck up the plastic sheet on the upper plate mechanism 7 again, and the multiple inserting pipes 403 on the right will also suck up the processed plastic sheet. As the motor 302 drives the rotating box 301 to rotate 90 degrees, the rotating pipe 501 will also rotate 90 degrees. At this time, the adjusting pipe 406 corresponding to the processed plastic sheet sucked on the right originally will be rotated to the side away from the air extraction slot 503, resulting in no suction force generated by the suction cup 404 on this side, and thus unable to suck the plastic workpiece, prompting the plastic workpiece to fall into the collection tank 8, achieving the purpose of automatic blanking. At the same time, the suction assembly 4 that sucked the plastic sheet of the upper plate mechanism 7 on the left before will be rotated to the lower side of the heating furnace 6, and the plastic sheet is heated by the heating furnace 6. Finally, through the rotation of multiple suction assemblies 4, the entire processing process of the plastic sheet from material taking, heating, thermoforming, cooling to discharging is cycled.
