[0035] For a thorough understanding of the present application, detailed steps and detailed structures will be presented in the following description in order to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application. The preferred embodiments of the present application are described in detail as follows, however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present application can also have other implementation manners.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-5 As shown in the drawings, the blister machine shown in a preferred embodiment of the present application is used for vacuum suction forming of materials. The blister machine comprises a forming device and a cooling device, the forming device is used for forming materials, and the cooling device is used for cooling the formed workpiece 20. The forming device comprises a vacuum sealing box 10, a mold located in the vacuum sealing box 10, and a negative pressure assembly connected with the vacuum sealing box 10. The negative pressure assembly is used to generate negative pressure in the vacuum sealing box 10 to form materials on the mold. The vacuum sealing box 10 can move relative to the formed workpiece 20 under the action of an external force to facilitate demolding from the formed workpiece 20.

[0037] However, in the prior art, the cooling device is usually installed on the equipment frame of the blister machine. When the formed workpiece 20 needs to be cooled after forming, the vacuum sealing box 10 and the formed workpiece 20 need to be moved out first so that the cooling device on the equipment frame can cool the formed workpiece 20. However, due to the long distance between the fan and the formed workpiece 20, the cooling air blown out by the cooling device is scattered, resulting in long cooling time and poor effect. Moreover, the scattered air flow cannot reach the bottom corner of the formed workpiece 20, which cannot be cooled, seriously affecting the product quality.

[0038] To solve the above problems, in the present application, the cooling device comprises a air supply assembly 1 and a driving assembly 2. The air supply assembly 1 is used to blow cold air to the formed workpiece 20 to cool the formed workpiece 20. Specifically, the air supply assembly 1 comprises a air duct 11 connected with the vacuum sealing box 10, a air door 12 arranged in the air duct 11, and a cooling fan connected with the air duct 11. The air door 12 can move relative to the vacuum sealing box 10 under the action of an external force to have an open state and a closed state. When the material needs to be blister formed, the air door 12 is switched to the closed state, and the negative pressure assembly generates negative pressure to make the material in the vacuum sealing box 10 form on the mold. When the formed workpiece 20 needs to be cooled, the air door 12 is switched to the open state, the vacuum sealing box 10 is communicated with the cooling fan through the air duct 11, and the cooling fan blows cooling air to the formed workpiece 20 to achieve cooling.

[0039] The driving assembly 2 comprises a driving cylinder 21 installed on the air duct 11 and a transmission member 22. The transmission member 22 connects the driving cylinder 21 and the air door 12. The transmission member 22 can convert the linear motion of the driving cylinder 21 into the rotary motion of the air door 12 to switch the air door 12 between the open state and the closed state.

[0040] It should be noted that in the embodiment, when the workpiece 20 needs to be adsorbed and formed, the air door 12 is closed, at this time, the vacuum sealing box 10 is sleeved outside the mold, and the workpiece 20 is obtained by generating negative pressure through the negative pressure assembly; when the workpiece 20 needs to be cooled, the air door 12 is opened, at this time, there is a gap between the bottom of the vacuum sealing box 10 and the workpiece 20. The reason for such arrangement is that during the cooling process, the vacuum sealing box 10 is sleeved outside the workpiece 20, so that the cooling air blown by the cooling fan can be gathered, the scattering of the cooling air can be reduced, the cooling effect can be improved, and the cooling time can be shortened. There is a gap between the vacuum sealing box 10 and the bottom of the workpiece 20, so that the cooling air blown by the cooling fan can flow out of the gap, balance the air pressure in the vacuum sealing box 10, and cool the bottom corner of the workpiece 20, so that the workpiece 20 is cooled as a whole, and the quality of the workpiece 20 is improved.

[0041] Further, the air duct 11 includes a connecting portion 111 connected with the vacuum sealing box 10 and a connecting portion 112, the first end 1121 of the connecting portion 112 is connected with the connecting portion 111, and the second end 1122 of the connecting portion 112 is connected with the cooling fan; the connecting portion 112 is arranged in a bending structure from the second end 1122 to the first end 1121, so that the airflow blown by the cooling fan can be buffered by the bending structure, avoiding the direct impact of the cooling air on the workpiece 20, which can cause damage to the workpiece 20, and also avoiding the direct blowing of the cooling air on the workpiece 20, which can cause uneven cooling effect. In the embodiment, the second end 1122 of the connecting portion 112 is provided with a ventilation opening, and the air door 12 is switched between the open state and the closed state to open or close the ventilation opening.

[0042] In the embodiment, the air duct 11 is integrally formed, so as to improve the stability of the entire air duct 11, and reduce the quality of the workpiece 20 or the cooling effect caused by loose connection or air leakage.

[0043] The air supply assembly 1 further comprises a rotating shaft 13 connected with the transmission component 22 and a bearing component 14 sleeved outside the rotating shaft 13, the driving cylinder 21 drives the transmission component 22 to move, and converts the linear motion of the driving cylinder 21 into the rotating motion of the rotating shaft 13 through the transmission component 22, and then the rotating shaft 13 can drive the air door 12 to rotate. By providing the bearing component 14, the switching between the open state and the closed state of the air door 12 is smoother, mechanical wear is reduced, and the service life of the equipment is prolonged. At the same time, the bearing component 14 can also reduce the rotating resistance of the rotating shaft 13, improve the working efficiency of the driving cylinder 21, and further optimize the performance of the cooling device. The rotating shaft 13 comprises a first plane, and the air door 12 comprises a second plane matched with the first plane. The air door 12 is connected with the rotating shaft 13 through the first plane and the second plane. The connection between the rotating shaft 13 and the air door 12 through the first plane and the second plane can improve the connection stability and prevent the air door 12 from being deviated from the rotating shaft 13.

[0044] Further, the air door 12 comprises a rotating part 121 connected with the rotating shaft 13 and a shielding part 122 connected with the rotating part 121. The shielding part 122 is arranged in a bent manner and is used for shielding the air vent. The shielding part 122 arranged in a bent manner can better shield the air vent, so that the cold air is not leaked in the closed state of the air door 12, and the sealing performance of the cooling device is improved.

[0045] Further, a sealing element is arranged on the inner wall of the second end 1122 of the connecting part 112. The sealing element is arranged around the air vent, and the sealing performance of the air door 12 in the closed state is further improved.

[0046] In the embodiment, the abutting part 111 comprises an abutting surface 1111 connected with the vacuum sealing box 10. When the air door 12 is in the open position, the end of the air door 12 close to the abutting surface 1111 is flush with or higher than the bottom end of the abutting surface 1111. In this way, the cooling air can smoothly enter the vacuum sealing box 10 and directly blow to the formed workpiece 20, avoiding the obstruction and diffusion of the cooling air at the abutting surface 1111, further improving the cooling effect and efficiency, and ensuring that each part of the formed workpiece 20 can be fully cooled.

[0047] In the embodiment, the driving cylinder 21 is arranged on the connecting part 112 in the vertical direction. The transmission component 22 comprises a connecting element 221 connected with the driving cylinder 21 and a transmission element 222 connected with the connecting element 221 and the rotating shaft 13. By arranging the driving cylinder 21 on the connecting part 112 in the arrangement direction, the linear motion of the driving cylinder 21 can be effectively converted into the rotating motion of the air door 12, and the occupied space of the driving cylinder 21 can be reduced, so that the structure of the entire cooling device is more compact, and the cooling device is easy to be integrated on the vacuum forming machine, thereby reducing the overall size and cost of the entire equipment.

[0048] The foregoing is merely one implementation of the present application, and any improvements made on the basis of the concept of the present application are considered to be within the scope of the present application.
