[0024] The heated part of the chain track 1 is provided with a waste receiving and heat-proof bottom shell 2, the waste receiving and heat-proof bottom shell 2 is connected to the chain track 1, that is, the waste receiving and heat-proof bottom shell 2 is installed on the chain track 1, the structure is relatively compact and reasonable; the waste residue generated when the material pin 11 is inserted into the sheet is left on the material pin 11 (there is a risk of falling off) or directly falls off, which causes occasional particle points on the sheet to affect the quality of the formed plastic product, or causes sparks in the heating device to affect the service life of the heating device and affect the uniform heating of the sheet, and the waste receiving and heat-proof bottom shell 2 installed on the chain track 1 not only can prevent heat and reduce the deformation of the chain track 1, but also can reduce the problems of the chain track 1 being pulled and twisted due to deformation, prolong the service life and stability of the chain track 1, and reduce the replacement or maintenance of the chain track 1 by replacing the waste receiving and heat-proof bottom shell 2; in addition, the waste receiving and heat-proof bottom shell 2 can receive the waste residue, the waste residue receiving cavity 20 of the waste receiving and heat-proof bottom shell 2 is wrapped around the heated part of the chain track 1, the waste residue can fall into the waste residue receiving cavity 20, the waste residue is collected, the risk of the waste residue falling onto the sheet (the area for forming the plastic product) is reduced, and the risk of the waste residue falling into the heating device is reduced. It can solve the problems of occasional particle points on the sheet and sparks in the heating device. In addition, the inner side of the opening of the waste residue receiving cavity 20 of the waste receiving and heat-proof bottom shell 2 is lower than the sheet feeding path, so that the waste receiving and heat-proof bottom shell 2 does not interfere with normal feeding.

[0025] The sheet feeding device of the plastic product thermoforming equipment can prolong the service life of the chain track 1, reduce the replacement or maintenance of the chain track 1, further reduce the deformation of the chain track 1 by cooperating with the water cooling structure (such as the water cooling structure of the chain track 1), and also receive the waste residue and reduce the risk of the waste residue falling onto the sheet or the heating device.

[0026] The following optimizations or further descriptions can be made based on the above embodiments respectively.

[0027] For example, the waste-accepting heat-proof bottom shell 2 is a long-strip-shaped U-shaped shell, i.e., the waste-accepting heat-proof bottom shell 2 has an outer shell wall, a bottom shell wall and an inner shell wall, forming a three-side-wall structure of left side, bottom side and right side, facilitating processing, such as direct integrated bending or stamping forming processing.

[0028] In addition, the waste-accepting heat-proof bottom shell 2 can be made of stainless steel, which is convenient to obtain and has relatively good heat-proof effect, can better insulate heat and protect the chain track 1 (usually made of aluminum or aluminum alloy, etc.) inside.

[0029] The waste-accepting heat-proof bottom shell 2 is connected between the outer side and / or the bottom side and the chain track 1 by fasteners (such as screws, etc.), and a corresponding connecting hole 22 is provided for fastener connection, facilitating disassembly, replacement or maintenance and cleaning.

The material-following anti-sticking copper plate 3 is made of copper, which has a relatively low coefficient of friction, facilitating the smooth input of the sheet material on the chain track 1 by the material-piercing needle 11 on the chain, and preventing the sheet material from being stuck and torn or broken during input.

[0032] The waste-accepting heat-proof bottom shell 2 has an inner shell wall on the inner side of the chain track 1, and a waste-accepting gap 24 is left between the inner shell wall and the chain track 1, which can be used for waste residue to fall into the receiving gap, and the waste residue is not easy to leave the waste-accepting heat-proof bottom shell 2, and the heating effective area is not easy to be affected.
