Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of blow molding machines, and specifically relates to a thermoforming stretch blow molding machine. Background Technique
[0002] In the field of plastic bottle manufacturing, thermoforming stretch blow molding machines are widely used in industries such as beverages, food, and cosmetics. As the core equipment for realizing large-scale plastic bottle production, the equipment heats plastic preforms (bottle preforms) to an appropriate temperature and then performs stretching and blow molding to finally produce plastic bottles of various specifications.
[0003] Traditional blow molding machines usually complete the cooling of bottles in the mold. Cooling water circulates through the cooling channels in the mold to gradually reduce the temperature of the bottles. Although this method can complete the cooling of the bottles to a certain extent, it will cause the mold to be occupied for a long time, thereby reducing production efficiency. For this reason, we propose a thermoforming stretch blow molding machine. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] In order to solve the problem that traditional blow molding machines usually complete the cooling of bottles in the mold, cooling water circulates through the cooling channels in the mold to gradually reduce the temperature of the bottles. Although this method can complete the cooling of the bottles to a certain extent, it will cause the mold to be occupied for a long time, thereby reducing production efficiency. The utility model provides the following technical solutions: a thermoforming stretch blow molding machine, including a conveyor belt, a connecting piece is arranged on the conveyor belt, a bottle preform is arranged on the connecting piece, the conveyor belt has a feeding end and a discharging end, a heating chamber is arranged through the conveyor belt away from the feeding end, a heater is arranged in the heating chamber, heightening blocks are arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt, cylinders are arranged on both of the heightening blocks, molds are arranged at the telescopic ends of the cylinders, a blowing needle is arranged on the upper part of one side of the mold, an air pipe is arranged on the blowing needle, the air pipe is connected to a high-pressure gas cylinder, a cooling chamber is arranged through one side of the conveyor belt close to the discharging end, and a fan is arranged in the cooling chamber.
[0005] Preferably, there are multiple heaters, and the multiple heaters are respectively arranged on the peripheral side walls and the upper wall of the heating chamber to ensure that the bottle preforms can be evenly heated during the heating process, improving the heating efficiency and the quality of the finished product.
[0006] Preferably, the heater is an infrared heater, and the infrared heater has the characteristics of fast and uniform heating, and can more effectively control the heating process of the bottle preform.
[0007] Preferably, there are multiple fans, and the multiple fans are respectively arranged on the upper wall of the cooling chamber and on both sides in the same direction as the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, which can realize multi-angle cooling of the bottles and ensure the cooling uniformity.
[0008] Preferably, an air suction port is provided in the cooling bin, and the air suction port is connected to a heat exchanger through a conveying pipeline, effectively discharging the hot air generated during the cooling process, and further optimizing the cooling efficiency and energy utilization rate.
[0009] Preferably, the mold is detachably installed, allowing the production line to quickly switch different bottle molds, improving the flexibility and efficiency of the production line.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0011] During operation, the preforms are fed into the production line through the feeding end of the conveyor belt. The preforms move with the conveyor belt and enter the heating bin. Multiple heaters start to work, quickly and evenly heating the preforms to a temperature suitable for stretching and blow molding. After the preforms are heated, the conveyor belt moves them to the molding area. The cylinder drives the mold to close, and the blowing needle injects high-pressure air from the high-pressure gas cylinder into the interior of the preforms through the air pipe. The high-pressure air causes the preforms to rapidly expand and fill the interior space of the mold, thus forming the shape of the bottle. After the bottle is formed, the cylinder drives the mold to open. The formed bottle moves with the conveyor belt into the cooling bin, and the blower generates a forced air flow to cool the bottle. Multiple blowers blow cold air from different directions to ensure that all parts of the bottle can be evenly cooled, avoiding local overcooling or overheating. The air suction port sucks away the hot air generated during the cooling process, preventing the temperature in the cooling bin from being too high. At this time, the bottle has been completely shaped, and the cooled bottle continues to move along the conveyor belt to the discharging end and enters the next process, improving the overall production efficiency, avoiding the problem of long-term occupation of the mold, making the cooling process more efficient, and enhancing the flexibility of the production line.
