Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a thermoforming die split cavity, including a lower die base 1 and an upper die base 2.

Two groups of first elastic members 3 are arranged between the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12, and second elastic members 4 are arranged on one side of the outside of the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12.

[0026] Among them, the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12 are of a split structure. The first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12 together form the lower die base 1. The split cavity 113 of the first split female die 11 and the split cavity 113 of the second split female die 12 together form a forming cavity.

[0027] Among them, both the first elastic member 3 and the second elastic member 4 have a certain elastic tensile force and elastic resilience.

[0028] Among them, the first inclined surface 111 is located on the outer side of the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12, and the second inclined surface 112 is located on the inner side of the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12. The connecting shaft 26 of the upper die base 2 is connected to a hydraulic driving component, and the upper die base 2 is driven to axially move through the hydraulic driving component, so as to realize the mold closing and mold opening actions of the mold.

[0029] Among them, both the first elastic member 3 and the second elastic member 4 include a sleeve 31 and a sliding rod 32, and one end of the sliding rod 32 is slidably inserted into the sleeve 31. A spring 33 is arranged in the sleeve 31, and one end of the spring 33 is fixed to the bottom inner wall of the sleeve 31, and the other end of the spring 33 is fixed to the sliding rod 32. The spring 33 has a certain elastic force, and when the sliding rod 32 is subjected to an external force, it will slide along the sleeve 31, and the spring 33 will correspondingly generate elastic deformation.

[0030] Among them, when the upper die base 2 moves downward under the drive of the hydraulic drive assembly, the two sets of drive columns 22 of the upper template 21 first contact the first inclined surfaces 111 of the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12 respectively. When the drive columns 22 continue to move downward, an extrusion force is applied to the first inclined surfaces 111, driving the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12 to approach each other until the mold is closed, and the second elastic member 4 is stretched.

[0031] Among them, during the process of closing the mold of the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12, the second inclined surfaces 112 of the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12 apply an extrusion force to the third inclined surface 341 of the stripper plate 34, driving the stripper plate 34 to move downward to avoid, and the first elastic member 3 is compressed.

[0032] Among them, as Figure 4 shown, when the lower die base 1 and the upper die base 2 are closed, the two split cavities 113 form a complete forming cavity, and the stripper plate 34 is driven to the lower part of the forming cavity.

[0033] Among them, the slide bar 32 of the second elastic member 4 on one side is fixedly connected to the first split female die 11, and the slide bar 32 of the second elastic member 4 on the other side is fixedly connected to the second split female die 12. The second elastic member 4 plays a guiding role, enabling the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12 to move along the axial direction of the slide bar 32.

[0034] Among them, the slide bar 32 of the first elastic member 3 is connected to the stripper plate 34. When the mold is opened, the stripper plate 34 is jacked up under the action of the resilience of the first elastic member 3, applying an external force to the formed part to demold the formed part.

[0035] Among them, the stripper plate 34 includes a third inclined surface 341. When the mold is closed, the second inclined surfaces 112 of the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12 apply an extrusion force to the third inclined surface 341 of the stripper plate 34, driving the stripper plate 34 to move downward to avoid.

[0036] Among them, as Figure 4 shown, when the mold is opened, the hydraulic drive assembly drives the upper die base 2 to reset, the upper die base 2 drives the drive columns 22 to reset, the external force applied to the lower die base 1 disappears, the first split female die 11 resets under the action of the resilience of the second elastic member 4, the second split female die 12 resets under the action of the resilience of the second elastic member 4, the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12 are automatically separated, separating the formed part from the inner wall of the female die. When the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12 are separated and reset, the external force applied to the stripper plate 34 disappears, the stripper plate 34 is jacked up under the action of the resilience of the first elastic member 3, applying an external force to the bottom of the formed part, separating the bottom of the formed part from the inner wall of the female die, so as to realize automatic demolding after the mold is opened.

[0037] Among them, the demolding action is realized by a mechanical linkage structure, and automatic demolding can be achieved without an external power source.

[0038] Among them, a bottom plate 5 is arranged at the lower end of the lower die base 1.

[0039] Among them, the sleeves 31 of the first elastic member 3 and the second elastic member 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom plate 5, and the sleeves 31 of the first elastic member 3 and the second elastic member 4 remain stable and immovable.

[0040] Among them, the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12 are both slidably connected to the bottom plate 5, and the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12 can approach or move away from each other under the action of an external force.

[0041] Among them, a fixing frame 23 is arranged at the top end of the upper template 21, a hydraulic cylinder 24 is arranged at the top end of the fixing frame 23, one end of the hydraulic cylinder 24 is connected to the punch 25, and a connecting shaft 26 is arranged on one side of the upper end surface of the upper template 21. During thermoforming, the heated and softened plastic sheet is placed between the lower die base 1 and the upper die base 2. After closing the die, the hydraulic cylinder 24 works to drive the punch 25, and the punch 25 and the split cavity 113 apply pressure to the sheet, so that the sheet fits the cavity to achieve thermoforming of the sheet.

[0042] Working principle: Place the heated and softened plastic sheet between the lower die base 1 and the upper die base 2, and perform mold closing. During mold closing, the hydraulic drive assembly drives the upper die base 2 to move downward. The two sets of drive columns 22 of the upper template 21 first contact the first inclined surfaces 111 of the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12 respectively. When the drive columns 22 continue to move downward, an extrusion force is applied to the first inclined surfaces 111, driving the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12 to approach each other until mold closing. The second elastic member 4 is stretched. During the process of mold closing of the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12, the second inclined surfaces 112 of the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12 apply an extrusion force to the third inclined surface 341 of the stripper plate 34, driving the stripper plate 34 to move downward to avoid. The first elastic member 3 is compressed. The split cavities 113 of the first split female die 11 and the split cavities 113 of the second split female die 12 together form a molding cavity. The hydraulic cylinder 24 works to drive the punch 25, and the punch 25 applies pressure to the sheet through the split cavities 113, causing the sheet to fit the cavity, realizing the thermoforming of the sheet. After forming, mold opening is performed. The hydraulic drive assembly drives the upper die base 2 to reset, and the upper die base 2 drives the drive columns 22 to reset. The external force applied to the lower die base 1 disappears. The first split female die 11 resets under the action of the restoring force of the second elastic member 4, and the second split female die 12 resets under the action of the restoring force of the second elastic member 4. The first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12 are automatically separated, separating the formed part from the inner wall of the female die. When the first split female die 11 and the second split female die 12 are separated and reset, the external force applied to the stripper plate 34 disappears. The stripper plate 34 is lifted under the action of the restoring force of the first elastic member 3, applying an external force to the bottom of the formed part, separating the bottom of the formed part from the inner wall of the female die, so as to realize automatic demolding after mold opening.
