Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a waste discharge device for thin film products, and is applicable to the field of thin film processing technology. Background Technology

[0002] Thin film products are sheet materials with a thickness ranging from a single atom to several millimeters, made from resin, rubber, plastic, or other materials. Depending on the raw materials and manufacturing processes, thin film products have diverse functions and are widely used in industries such as electronic semiconductors and optical coating. During processing, thin film products typically require multi-layer films to be laminated using double-sided adhesive, then punched into the corresponding shape and structure in a die-cutting machine. The die-cutting waste is then removed, and the product is transferred to another film strip and wound up for subsequent use. Current technology removes die-cutting waste by attaching a protective film to the bottom layer of the film and controlling the die-cutting depth to avoid cutting through the protective film. After die-cutting, the waste is removed by pulling down the protective film. However, because the double-sided adhesive re-adhedes too quickly, waste easily remains on the product when the protective film is pulled down, making complete removal difficult and requiring manual inspection, significantly impacting production efficiency. Furthermore, since most diaphragm materials are transparent, it is difficult to quickly identify whether there is residual waste at the punching location, which cannot guarantee the detection effect and can easily affect the product yield. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes a waste discharge device for thin film products.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a waste removal device for film products, including a worktable, a waste removal lower mold fixedly set on the worktable, a waste removal upper mold movable above the waste removal lower mold, and a driving device for driving the waste removal upper mold to move. The upper surface of the waste removal lower mold has a plurality of discharge holes whose number, position, and shape correspond to the holes and grooves on the film product. The waste removal lower mold also has a discharge groove located below and communicating with the plurality of discharge holes. The bottom of the waste removal upper mold is provided with waste removal ejector pins whose number, position, and shape correspond to the discharge holes. The waste removal device has at least two working states. When it is in the first working state, the waste removal upper mold is away from the waste removal lower mold. When the waste removal device is in the second working state, the waste removal upper mold is close to the waste removal lower mold, and the waste removal ejector pins are inserted into the corresponding discharge holes. After the film strip is punched by the punching equipment, it is conveyed to the worktable by the conveyor rollers. At this time, the waste removal device is in its first working state. The conveyor rollers pass the film products on the strip sequentially above the waste removal lower die, aligning the punched holes on the film products with the blanking holes. Then, the drive device drives the waste removal upper die to descend, putting the waste removal device into its second working state. This allows the waste removal ejector pins to push the waste material in the punched holes of the film products into the blanking trough. By using the waste removal ejector pins in conjunction with the blanking holes and the blanking trough, fast and accurate waste removal is achieved. This avoids the problem of incomplete waste removal caused by double-sided adhesive re-adhesion, which is a problem with traditional pull-type waste removal, thus improving production efficiency. It also avoids the inconvenience of subsequent inspection and the problem of waste residue caused by the transparency of the film material, ensuring the product yield.

[0005] Furthermore, the bottom of the upper waste discharge mold is equipped with at least two guide pillars, and the lower waste discharge mold is equipped with guide grooves whose number, position, and size correspond to the guide pillars. The lower end of the guide pillars is tapered, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. When the waste discharge device is in the second working state, the guide pillars are inserted into the corresponding guide grooves. Through the guide pillars and guide grooves, the upper and lower waste discharge molds are precisely positioned to ensure accurate and complete waste discharge.

[0006] Furthermore, the length of the guide post is greater than that of the waste discharge ejector pin, ensuring that the guide post contacts the guide groove first when the upper and lower waste discharge molds are closed, and is pre-positioned and limited. This ensures accurate mold closing on the one hand, and prevents the waste discharge ejector pin from being damaged due to mold installation deviation on the other hand.

[0007] Furthermore, the surface of the waste removal die is provided with a limiting groove along the front-to-back direction to restrict the position of the film product strip. The width of the limiting groove is the same as the width of the film product strip, and several discharge holes are located within the limiting groove. When the product strip is conveyed by the conveyor rollers through the waste removal die, its position is restricted by the limiting groove, ensuring that the punching holes on the film product correspond precisely to the discharge holes. This ensures that waste is completely removed and also prevents damage to the product during the waste removal process.

[0008] Furthermore, the material discharge chute is located at the bottom of the waste discharge mold and runs through the left and right directions, making it convenient for production personnel to clean the waste material in the material discharge chute without stopping the machine or disassembling the mold, thus improving production efficiency.

[0009] Furthermore, the waste removal device also includes a blowing device installed on the workbench for removing waste from the material discharge chute. Specifically, the blowing device is an air gun, which allows production personnel to blow the waste from the material discharge chute out through the openings on the left and right sides, thereby improving waste removal efficiency.

[0010] Furthermore, the size of the feeding hole is greater than or equal to the size of the corresponding waste discharge pin, and the difference between the size of the feeding hole and the size of the corresponding waste discharge pin is 0~0.3mm. The size of the feeding hole is slightly larger than the size of the waste discharge pin. On the one hand, this facilitates the thorough removal of waste from the film product and prevents waste from sticking together. On the other hand, it avoids damaging other parts of the film product when the waste discharge pin is ejected, thus ensuring product quality.

[0011] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0012] The waste removal device for thin film products in this utility model has a simple structure and low manufacturing difficulty and cost. By cooperating with the waste removal ejector pin and the feeding hole, the waste on the thin film product is ejected into the feeding trough below. This not only improves the waste removal efficiency and avoids the waste sticking caused by the double-sided tape re-adhesion, but also avoids the inconvenience of inspection and easy residue caused by the transparency of the film, thus improving the product yield.

[0022] Reference Appendix Figure 1-4The waste removal device for film products in this embodiment includes a workbench 1, a waste removal lower mold 2 fixedly mounted on the workbench 1, a waste removal upper mold 3 movably mounted above the waste removal lower mold 2, and a driving device 4 for driving the waste removal upper mold 3 to move. The upper surface of the waste removal lower mold 2 has a plurality of discharge holes 21 whose number, position, and shape correspond to the holes and grooves on the film product. The waste removal lower mold 2 also has a discharge groove 22 located below and communicating with the plurality of discharge holes 21. The bottom of the waste removal upper mold 3 is provided with waste removal ejector pins 31 whose number, position, and shape correspond to the discharge holes 21. The waste removal device has at least two working states. When it is in the first working state, the waste removal upper mold 3 is away from the waste removal lower mold 2. When the waste removal device is in the second working state, the waste removal upper mold 3 is close to the waste removal lower mold 2, and the waste removal ejector pins 31 are inserted into the corresponding discharge holes 21. After the film strip is punched by the punching equipment, it is conveyed to the worktable 1 by the conveyor rollers. At this time, the waste removal device is in the first working state. The conveyor rollers pass the film products on the strip sequentially above the waste removal lower die 2, and make the punching holes on the film products correspond to the material discharge holes 21. Then, the drive device 4 drives the waste removal upper die 3 to descend, so that the waste removal device enters the second working state, so that the waste removal ejector pin 31 can push the waste in the punching holes on the film products into the material discharge groove 22. By cooperating with the material discharge hole 21 and the material discharge groove 22, the waste removal is fast and accurate, avoiding the problem of incomplete waste removal caused by double-sided adhesive re-adhesion in traditional material pulling waste removal, thus improving production efficiency; it also avoids the problem of inconvenient subsequent inspection and easy waste residue caused by the transparency of the film material, thus ensuring the product yield.

[0023] In a more preferred embodiment, the bottom of the upper waste discharge mold 3 is further provided with at least two guide pillars 32, and the lower waste discharge mold 2 is provided with guide grooves 23 whose number, position, and size correspond to the guide pillars 32. The lower end of the guide pillars 32 is tapered, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. When the waste discharge device is in the second working state, the guide pillars 32 are inserted into the corresponding guide grooves 23. Through the guide pillars 32 and the guide grooves 23, the upper waste discharge mold 3 and the lower waste discharge mold 2 are accurately positioned to ensure precise and complete waste discharge.

[0024] In a more preferred embodiment, the length of the guide post 32 is greater than that of the waste discharge ejector pin 31, ensuring that when the upper waste discharge mold 3 and the lower waste discharge mold 2 are closed, the guide post 32 contacts the guide groove 23 first and is pre-positioned and limited, which on the one hand ensures accurate mold closing, and on the other hand prevents the waste discharge ejector pin from being damaged due to mold installation deviation.

[0025] In a more preferred embodiment, the surface of the waste removal die 2 is provided with a limiting groove 24 along the front-to-back direction to limit the position of the film product strip. The width of the limiting groove 24 is the same as the width of the film product strip, and a plurality of discharge holes 21 are located within the limiting groove 24. When the product strip is conveyed by the conveyor roller through the waste removal die 2, its position is limited by the limiting groove 24, ensuring that the punching holes on the film product correspond precisely to the positions of the discharge holes 21. This ensures that waste is completely removed and also prevents damage to the product during the waste removal process.

[0026] In a more preferred embodiment, the material discharge chute 22 is located at the bottom of the waste discharge lower mold 2 and is arranged through the left and right directions, which makes it convenient for production personnel to clean the waste in the material discharge chute 22 without stopping the machine or disassembling the mold, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0027] In a more preferred embodiment, the waste removal device further includes a blowing device 5 disposed on the workbench 1 and used to remove waste from the material discharge chute 22. Specifically, the blowing device 5 is configured as an air gun, which allows production personnel to blow the waste in the material discharge chute 22 out through the openings on the left and right sides, thereby improving waste removal efficiency.

[0028] In a more preferred embodiment, the size of the feed hole 21 is greater than or equal to the size of the corresponding waste discharge pin 31, and the difference between the size of the feed hole 21 and the size of the corresponding waste discharge pin 31 is 0~0.3mm. The size of the feed hole 21 is slightly larger than the size of the waste discharge pin 31. This facilitates the thorough removal of waste from the film product and prevents waste from sticking together. On the other hand, it avoids damaging other parts of the film product when the waste discharge pin 31 is ejected, thus ensuring product quality.

[0029] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0030] The waste removal device for thin film products in this utility model has a simple structure and low manufacturing difficulty and cost. By cooperating with the waste removal ejector pin and the feeding hole, the waste on the thin film product is ejected into the feeding trough below.
