Detailed implementation mode

[0022] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present utility model, the technical solution of the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0023] As Figures 1-5 shown, a cooling device for a plastic suction machine of the present utility model includes a machine 1. A forming cavity is provided in the middle of the machine 1, and a vacuum device is provided in the forming cavity. A frame 11 is fixed on the upper side of the machine 1. A cylinder 12 is installed at the upper end of the frame 11. The output shaft of the cylinder 12 is connected with a heating plate 13. A material pressing frame 2 is slidably arranged in the frame 11. Cooling mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the machine 1;

[0024] The cooling mechanism includes a cavity 21 opened in the middle of the machine 1. A piston cylinder 22 is fixed in the cavity 21. A piston 23 is hermetically slidably arranged in the piston cylinder 22. A first spring 24 is arranged between the front side of the piston 23 and the front wall of the piston cylinder 22. A sliding rod 25 is fixed on the front side of the piston 23. A rectangular frame 26 is fixed at the front end of the sliding rod 25. An inclined platform 27 is fixed in the rectangular frame 26. A push rod 28 matching the position of the inclined platform 27 is fixed on the lower side of the material pressing frame 2. A liquid storage tank is installed at the rear side of the machine 1. The liquid storage tank is communicated with the rear side of the piston cylinder 22 through a connecting pipe. A one-way inlet valve is arranged in the connecting pipe. A hose 221 is connected to the rear side of the piston cylinder 22. A one-way outlet valve is arranged in the hose 221. A nozzle 3 is arranged on the upper side of the material pressing frame 2. The hose 221 is connected with the nozzle 3. The nozzle 3 is provided with a moving component.

[0025] When the device is in use, a worker places a plate in the middle of the machine 1, then slides the material pressing frame 2 downward to seal and press the plate. Then, the cylinder 12 drives the heating plate 13 to move downward to contact the plate and heat the plate. After heating is completed, the cylinder 12 drives the heating plate 13 to move upward to reset. The mold inside the forming cavity cooperates with the vacuum device to quickly form a plastic suction under negative pressure. After forming is completed, the material pressing frame 2 is slid upward to separate it from the formed product. This is the working process of the plastic suction machine;

[0026] When the pressing frame 2 moves downward, the push rod 28 connected to the bottom of the pressure frame 2 will extend into the rectangular frame 26 and contact the inclined platform 27, pushing the rectangular frame 26 to move forward, that is, driving the piston 23 to move forward through the sliding rod 25, generating negative pressure to draw the coolant inside the liquid storage tank into the piston cylinder 22 through the connecting pipe. When the pressing frame 2 moves upward, the push rod 28 will move upward to break away from the rectangular frame 26. Under the push of the elastic force of the first spring 24, the piston 23 slides backward and resets, pushing the coolant inside the piston cylinder 22 into the hose, and finally spraying it from the nozzle 3 to the surface of the product to cool the product. The moving component can drive the nozzle 3 to move, so that the coolant can fully contact the surface of the product to achieve a good cooling effect.

[0027] Therefore, such a design does not require additional power, and the up and down movement of the pressing frame 2 can automatically spray out the coolant to cool the product. The structural design has strong linkage.

[0028] The moving assembly includes a V-shaped guide rail 31 fixed to the machine table 1, a guide rod 32 slidably connected to the V-shaped guide rail 31 is fixed to the side wall of the nozzle 3, and slide rails 33 are fixed to the front and rear sides of the pressing frame 2, and the nozzle 3 slides in the slide rails 33; in this way, when the pressing frame 2 moves downward, the guide rod 32 slides in the V-shaped guide rail 31, so that the nozzle 3 can first slide toward the middle of the pressing frame 2 and then slide away from the middle of the pressing frame 2. When the pressing frame 2 seals and compacts the plate, the nozzle 3 is at the edge of the pressing frame 2 and will not cause any obstruction to the heating plate 13. When the pressing frame moves upward, the nozzle 3 can also perform the above movement, so that the coolant sprayed from the nozzle 3 can fully contact the surface of the product, and the cooling effect is better.

[0029] The machine 1 is provided with four slide grooves 4 distributed in a rectangular shape, a slider 41 is slidably provided in the slide groove 4, a second spring 42 is provided between the lower side of the slider 41 and the bottom wall of the slide groove 4, a connecting rod 43 is connected to the upper end of the slider 41, the upper end of the connecting rod 43 is connected to the pressing frame 2, and a locking assembly is provided between the pressing frame 2 and the frame 11;

[0030] The locking assembly includes a step cavity 44 provided in the press frame 2, a locking block 45 is slidably provided in the step cavity 44, a third spring 45 is provided between the locking block 45 and the bottom of the step cavity 44, a locking groove 46 matching the locking block 45 is provided on the lower side of the frame 11, a wire drawing groove is provided in the press frame 2, a wire drawing groove is provided in the wire drawing groove, one end of the wire drawing 47 is connected to the locking block 45, and the other end of the wire drawing 47 is connected to a handle 48;

[0031] The worker can slide down the pressure frame 2 against the elastic force of the second spring 42. After the bottom of the pressure frame 2 is in close contact with the plate, at this time, the locking block 45 is aligned with the locking groove 46 of the frame 11, and the elastic force of the third spring 45 pushes the locking block 45 into the locking groove 46, so that the pressure frame 2 can be fixed. When the pressure frame 2 moves upward, the worker only needs to pull the handle 48 forward, and the locking block 45 is driven by the wire 47 to withdraw from the locking groove 46. At this time, the elastic force of the second cylinder 42 will push the pressure frame 2 upward. In this way, there is no need to use additional power to drive the pressure frame 2 to move up and down, and the worker can operate manually, saving electricity.

[0032] A rectangular groove 5 is formed at the bottom of the pressure frame 2. An abutting frame 51 is slidably arranged in the rectangular groove 5. A fourth spring 52 is arranged between the abutting frame 51 and the upper wall of the rectangular groove 5. Before the pressure frame 2 contacts the plate, the abutting frame 51 contacts the plate first and pushes the fourth spring 52 to compress. The elastic force of the fourth spring 52 pushes the abutting frame 51 to always contact the plate, so that the abutting frame 51 can provide a better sealing effect on the plate.

[0033] The above embodiments only exemplarily illustrate the principle and its efficacy of the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention. 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.
