Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vacuum forming machine technology, specifically a vacuum forming machine with enhanced cooling performance. Background Technology
[0002] A vacuum forming machine is a molding device that utilizes the thermoplastic properties of thermoplastic sheets. Through heating and softening, the sheet is vacuum-formed and tightly adhered to a mold cavity. After cooling and setting, a plastic product of a specific shape is obtained. It is widely used in food packaging, electronic component trays, medical device housings, and daily necessities containers. In the vacuum forming process, after the plastic sheet is softened in the heating zone, it needs to be vacuum-formed on the mold. However, the freshly formed plastic product is still in a softened state due to residual heat, and natural cooling is time-consuming. Therefore, the industry commonly uses a method of spraying coolant onto the surface of the plastic product after forming. This forced heat exchange achieves rapid cooling and setting, ensuring the product's shape stability and dimensional accuracy.
[0003] Traditional vacuum forming machines typically have coolant nozzles installed at fixed angles with a fixed spray range, which can easily lead to cooling blind spots. These areas cannot be fully covered by coolant, resulting in slower cooling and uneven shrinkage of different parts of the product. This can cause localized deformation and increase the defect rate. Furthermore, existing molds often rely on multiple bolts to be fixed to the mounting platform. Since the mounting platform is usually located inside the vacuum forming machine, the operating space is limited. Each disassembly or assembly requires the operator to reach into the machine with their hands or body to tighten the bolts one by one, which is not only time-consuming and laborious but also poses a risk of damaging the equipment. This results in low efficiency for mold maintenance and repair. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-9 The present invention provides a technical solution: a vacuum forming machine with enhanced cooling performance, including a base 1, a cooling structure 7 on the base 1, and a swing structure 8 on the cooling structure 7; Cooling structure 7 includes a support rod 701 and a first connecting pipe 702. Two support rods 701 are fixedly connected to the base 1. Multiple first connecting pipes 702 are rotatably connected between the two support rods 701. Multiple atomizing nozzles 703 are installed on the first connecting pipes 702. A swing structure 8 is provided on the support rod 701. The swing structure 8 includes a fourth guide seat 801 and a slide rod 802. Two fourth guide seats 801 are fixedly connected to one of the support rods 701. The same slide rod 802 is slidably connected to the two fourth guide seats 801. A first connecting plate 804 is fixedly connected to the tube 702. A plurality of abutments 803 corresponding one-to-one with the first connecting plate 804 are fixedly connected to the slide rod 802. The abutments 803 extend into the interior of the adjacent first connecting plate 804. A second connecting plate 805 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 802. A fourth drive assembly 808 is installed on one of the support rods 701. A turntable 807 is fixedly connected to the output end of the fourth drive assembly 808. A drive shaft 806 is fixedly connected to the turntable 807. The drive shaft 806 extends into the interior of the second connecting plate 805.
[0023] In practical use, after the plastic film is vacuum-formed, coolant can be sprayed from multiple atomizing nozzles 703. During the spraying process, the fourth drive assembly 808 (preferably a motor) can be activated. The output end of the fourth drive assembly 808 drives the turntable 807 to rotate, and the turntable 807 drives the drive shaft 806 to move. The movement of the drive shaft 806 will drive the second connecting plate 805 to reciprocate. The reciprocating movement of the second connecting plate 805 will drive the slide rod 802 to reciprocate. The two fourth guide seats 801 can guide the movement of the slide rod 802. The reciprocating movement of the slide rod 802 will drive multiple abutment shafts 803 to reciprocate. The reciprocating movement of the multiple abutment shafts 803 will cause multiple second connecting pipes 704 to swing back and forth simultaneously. The multiple atomizing nozzles 703 will swing together with the second connecting pipes 704, thereby increasing the spraying range and making it easier for the coolant to be sprayed more evenly on the surface of the formed plastic film. This avoids uneven distribution of coolant and the occurrence of local deformation of the product, thus ensuring the quality of the product.
[0024] Multiple first connecting pipes 702 are linearly and equidistantly distributed, and multiple atomizing nozzles 703 located on the same first connecting pipe 702 are linearly and equidistantly distributed.
[0025] In practical use, the swinging of each first connecting pipe 702 will drive the swinging of multiple atomizing nozzles 703. The simultaneous swinging of multiple first connecting pipes 702 will drive the simultaneous swinging of multiple sets of atomizing nozzles 703, thereby increasing the spraying range and facilitating comprehensive spraying of the formed plastic film.
[0026] Another support rod 701 is fixedly connected to a second connecting pipe 704, and one end of a plurality of first connecting pipes 702 is rotatably connected to the same second connecting pipe 704.
[0027] In practical use, the external coolant delivery pipe can be connected to one end of the second connecting pipe 704. When coolant needs to be sprayed, the coolant first enters the interior of the second connecting pipe 704, then enters the interior of multiple first connecting pipes 702 from the interior of the second connecting pipe 704, and finally is sprayed out from multiple atomizing nozzles 703.
[0028] The top sides of the two support rods 701 are fixedly connected to the same baffle 705, and the baffle 705 is fixedly connected to the flange 706.
[0029] In practical use, the flange 706 at the end of the baffle 705 can be easily connected to the negative pressure device. Then, during the cooling process, the negative pressure device can be activated, and the floating objects in the cooled coolant can be sucked away from the inside of the baffle 705, thereby preventing the floating objects from drifting into the surrounding environment and causing pollution, thus improving the environmental friendliness of the use.
[0030] Multiple guide plates 10 are fixedly connected to the base 1. A heating box 9 is installed on the top side of the base 1. A traction structure 2 is provided on the base 1. The traction structure 2 includes a first guide seat 201 and a slide seat 202. The first guide seat 201 is fixedly connected to both sides of the base 1. The slide seat 202 is slidably connected to the first guide seat 201. A first drive assembly 203 is installed on the first guide seat 201. The output end of the first drive assembly 203 is fixedly connected to the slide seat 202. A crossbar 204 is fixedly connected to the slide seat 202. One of the long shafts 205 is rotatably connected between the two crossbars 204. The bottom end of the one long shaft 205 is provided with another long shaft 205. The other long shaft 205 is rotatably connected to the base 1. A rubber sleeve 206 is fitted on the outside of the long shaft 205. Two short shafts 208 are rotatably connected to the two crossbars 204 respectively. The bottom ends of the two short shafts 208 are provided with two more short shafts 208 respectively. All short shafts 208 are rotatably connected to the base 1. A rubber sleeve 206 is fitted over the outside of each short shaft 208. Gears 207 are fixedly connected to each short shaft 208. Gears 207 are fixedly connected to both ends of each long shaft 205. The two gears 207 on two adjacent short shafts 208 mesh with each other. The two gears 207 on one adjacent end of two long shafts 205 mesh with each other. Two first synchronous pulleys 209 are fixedly connected to two other short shafts 208 rotatably connected to the base 1. Two other first synchronous pulleys 209 are fixedly connected to both ends of another long shaft 205 rotatably connected to the base 1. The same synchronous belt 210 is wound around the two first synchronous pulleys 209 on the same side of the base 1. Two second drive assemblies 212 are installed on the base 1. The output end of the second drive assembly 212 is fixedly connected to a second synchronous pulley 211. Two synchronous belts 210 are wound around the two second synchronous pulleys 211.
[0031] In practical use, after a section of plastic film is vacuum-formed, two second drive components 212 (preferably servo motors) can be activated simultaneously. The rotation of the output end of the second drive component 212 will drive the second synchronous pulley 211 to rotate. The rotation of the second synchronous pulley 211 will drive the synchronous belt 210 to move. The movement of the synchronous belt 210 will drive the two first synchronous pulleys 209 to rotate. The rotation of one of the first synchronous pulleys 209 will drive the short shaft 208 to rotate, and the rotation of the other first synchronous pulley 209 will drive the long shaft 205 to rotate. Since a gear is fixedly connected to the short shaft 208... 207, and the two gears 207 on the two adjacent short shafts 208 mesh with each other. Meanwhile, gears 207 are fixedly connected to both ends of the long shaft 205, and the two gears 207 on the adjacent ends of the long shaft 205 mesh with each other. Therefore, when the two second synchronous pulleys 211 rotate simultaneously, the four short shafts 208 and the two long shafts 205 will rotate simultaneously. The rotation of both the short shafts 208 and the long shafts 205 will drive the rubber sleeves 206 to rotate. Since the rubber sleeves 206 are in contact with the plastic film, the relative rotation of two adjacent rubber sleeves 206 will affect the plastic film. The film is conveyed a specified distance. Because there is space between the relative short axes 208, it will not obstruct the plastic film after vacuum forming. Simultaneously, after one section of plastic film is vacuum-formed, the plastic mold can be automatically conveyed before the next section is vacuum-formed, thus achieving continuous vacuum forming of the plastic film and effectively improving the efficiency of vacuum forming production. A heating box 9 is installed to heat the plastic mold before vacuum forming, and during the movement, the two edges of the plastic film are located inside the guide plate 10, facilitating the guidance of the plastic film's movement. When it is necessary to lay plastic... When the film is laid, two first drive components 203 (preferably cylinders) can be activated simultaneously. The output end of the first drive component 203 extends and drives the slide 202 to slide on the first guide seat 201. The movement of the slide 202 drives the crossbar 204 to move. The simultaneous movement of the two crossbars 204 drives one long shaft 205 to move away from the other long shaft 205, and at the same time drives two short shafts 208 to move away from the other two short shafts 208, thereby increasing the distance between adjacent rubber sleeves 206, which facilitates the next plastic film laying work.
[0032] The base 1 is provided with an adjustment structure 3, which includes a connecting frame 301 and a moving shaft 302. A connecting frame 301 is fixedly connected to both sides of the base 1. The moving shaft 302 is provided through the connecting frame 301. A pressure roller 303 is rotatably connected to the moving shaft 302. The two pressure rollers 303 respectively abut against the two synchronous belts 210. A first nut 304 is threadedly connected to the moving shaft 302. The first nut 304 abuts against the connecting frame 301.
[0033] In practical use, the timing belt 210 is brought into tension by the pressure roller 303 pressing against it, which facilitates better driving. When the tension of the timing belt 210 needs to be adjusted, the first nut 304 can be turned with a wrench. When the first nut 304 is not tightly pressed against the connecting frame 301, the position of the moving shaft 302 on the connecting frame 301 can be adjusted. The position of the pressure roller 303 will change along with the moving shaft 302. By adjusting the position of the pressure roller 303, the tension of the timing belt 210 can be adjusted, so that the timing belt 210 can work with the most suitable tension, thereby improving the flexibility of use.
[0034] The base 1 is provided with a vacuum forming structure 4, which includes a second guide seat 401 and a first guide post 402. Four second guide seats 401 are fixedly connected inside the base 1. The first guide post 402 is slidably connected to the second guide seat 401. The top of the four first guide posts 402 is fixedly connected to the same moving frame 403. Two third drive components 404 are installed on the base 1. The output end of the third drive component 404 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the moving frame 403. The top of the moving frame 403 is fixedly connected to a support plate 405. A mold 407 is installed on the support plate 405. The support plate 405 is provided with multiple vent holes 406. A vent pipe 408 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving frame 403.
[0035] In practical use, the suction pipe of the external vacuum pump can be connected to the air vent 408. When it is necessary to vacuum-form the plastic film, two third drive components 404 (preferably cylinders) can be activated simultaneously. The output ends of the two third drive components 404 extend and drive the moving frame 403 to move. During the movement of the moving frame 403, the four first guide pillars 402 slide on the four second guide seats 401 respectively, thereby guiding the movement of the moving frame 403. The movement of the moving frame 403 will drive the support plate 405 to move, and the movement of the support plate 405 will drive the mold 407 to move. When the mold 407 comes into contact with the plastic film, the vacuum pump can be used to evacuate the mold 407. During the evacuation process, the heated plastic film will be pressed onto the surface of the mold 407 under atmospheric pressure, thereby realizing the vacuum forming of the plastic film. When the vacuum-formed plastic film cools down, the mold 407 can be reversed to achieve automatic demolding, which is convenient for the next vacuum forming.
[0036] The movable frame 403 is provided with a pressing structure 5, which includes a third guide seat 501 and a sliding column 502. Two third guide seats 501 are fixedly connected to both sides of the movable frame 403. A sliding column 502 is slidably connected to the third guide seat 501. The top of the two sliding columns 502 is fixedly connected to the same pressure plate 504. A limiting plate 506 is provided through the two sliding columns 502 near the bottom. A second nut 505 is threadedly connected to the sliding column 502. One side of the limiting plate 506 abuts against the third guide seat 501, and the other side of the limiting plate 506 abuts against the second nut 505. A spring 503 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding column 502. One end of the spring 503 abuts against the third guide seat 501, and the other end of the spring 503 abuts against the pressure plate 504.
[0037] In practical use, during the movement of the moving frame 403, the two pressure plates 504 move together with the moving frame 403. Before the mold 407 contacts the plastic film, the two pressure plates 504 will contact the plastic film first. Then, as the moving frame 403 moves, the four sliding pillars 502 slide on the four third guide seats 501 respectively, and the four springs 503 will retract simultaneously. At this time, the pressure plates 504 will press the edge of the plastic film onto the guide plate 10, thereby fixing the plastic film before the mold 407 contacts the plastic film, preventing the plastic film from shifting position during the vacuum forming process, thus improving the stability of the plastic film vacuum forming. The second nut 505 can be unscrewed from the sliding pillar 502, and then the limiting plate 506 can be removed from the two sliding pillars 502. Finally, the spring 503 can be removed for replacement. Therefore, when the spring 503 is damaged, it can be replaced, thereby improving the efficiency of spring 503 maintenance.
[0038] The movable frame 403 is provided with a fixing structure 6, which includes a rotating rod 601 and a screw 602. The screw 602 is rotatably connected to the movable frame 403, and two movable plates 604 are threadedly connected to the screw 602. Two second guide posts 603 are fixedly connected inside the movable frame 403, and two movable plates 604 are slidably connected to the two second guide posts 603. Two abutments 605 are fixedly connected to the movable plates 604. Four inserts 606 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mold 407. The four inserts 606 engage with the same bearing plate 405. The inserts 606 are provided with grooves 607. One end of the abutment 605 extends into the interior of the adjacent groove 607 and abuts against the insert 606.
[0039] In practical use, when the mold 407 needs to be disassembled and repaired, the screw 602 can be rotated. The rotation of the screw 602 will drive the two moving plates 604 to move in opposite directions. The movement of the moving plates 604 will drive the two abutments 605 to move. When the ends of the four abutments 605 simultaneously disengage from the inside of the four grooves 607, the mold 407 can be moved to disengage the four inserts 606 from the support plate 405. At this time, the mold 407 can be quickly disassembled, avoiding the need to reach into the narrow space of the equipment to twist multiple bolts to disassemble the mold 407, thus facilitating the inspection and maintenance of the mold 407.
[0040] A rotating rod 601 is fixedly connected to the screw 602. The two threads on the screw 602 have opposite thread directions. The groove 607 has an overall trapezoidal structure, and the bottom section of the insert 606 has a trapezoidal structure.
[0041] In practical use, the screw 602 can be easily rotated by holding the rotating rod 601. When installing the mold 407, after the abutment block 605 and the insert block 606 come into contact, the wedge force can make the mold 407 and the bearing plate 405 press tightly together, thereby improving the stability of the mold 407 after installation.
[0042] Working principle: When plastic film needs to be vacuum-formed, two third drive components 404 are activated simultaneously. The extension of the output ends of the two third drive components 404 drives the moving frame 403 to move. The movement of the moving frame 403 drives the support plate 405 to move. The movement of the support plate 405 drives the mold 407 to move. During the movement of the moving frame 403, the two pressure plates 504 move together with the moving frame 403. Before the mold 407 comes into contact with the plastic film, the two pressure plates 504 will abut and fix the edge of the plastic film. After the mold 407 comes into contact with the plastic film, the mold 407 can be evacuated by a vacuum pump. During the evacuation process, the heated plastic film will be pressed onto the surface of the mold 407 under atmospheric pressure, thereby realizing the vacuum forming of the plastic film. After the vacuum-formed plastic film cools down, the mold 407 can move in the opposite direction, thereby realizing automatic demolding.
[0043] After the plastic film is vacuum-formed, coolant can be sprayed from multiple atomizing nozzles 703. During the spraying process, multiple second connecting pipes 704 can be oscillated simultaneously by activating the fourth drive component 808. Multiple atomizing nozzles 703 will oscillate together with the second connecting pipes 704, thereby increasing the spraying range. The baffle 705, in conjunction with the negative pressure device, can suck away floating objects in the coolant.
[0044] After a section of plastic film is vacuum-formed, two second drive components 212 can be activated simultaneously. Under the action of the second drive components 212, four short shafts 208 and two long shafts 205 rotate simultaneously. The rotation of the short shafts 208 and the long shafts 205 will drive the rubber sleeves 206 to rotate. The relative rotation of two adjacent rubber sleeves 206 will transport the plastic film a specified distance. A heating box 9 is set to heat the plastic mold before vacuum forming. A guide plate 10 is set to guide the movement of the plastic film during its movement. When it is necessary to lay the plastic film, the first drive component 203 is activated to increase the distance between adjacent rubber sleeves 206, thereby facilitating the next laying of the plastic film. The tension of the synchronous belt 210 can be adjusted by changing the position of the pressure roller 303.
[0045] When the mold 407 needs to be disassembled and repaired, the screw 602 can be rotated. The rotation of the screw 602 will drive the two moving plates 604 to move in opposite directions. The movement of the moving plates 604 will drive the two abutments 605 to move. When the ends of the four abutments 605 simultaneously disengage from the inside of the four grooves 607, the mold 407 can be moved to disengage the four inserts 606 from the support plate 405.
