Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tray forming technology, specifically a food tray edge rolling forming mold. Background Technology

[0002] During the forming process, the aluminum foil sheet is formed into a set shape in one step by pressing the upper and lower molds together. Then, the formed product is removed, another unformed aluminum foil sheet is placed on it, and the above operation is repeated.

[0003] During use, existing rolled pallet one-piece molding molds often result in the formed pallets getting stuck in the lower mold or on the upper mold. For pallets on the upper mold, simply removing them completes the material removal process. However, for pallets stuck in the lower mold, operators can only use specific tools to remove the pallets from the lower mold, which is inconvenient for operators to quickly remove the pallets and affects the production efficiency of pallets. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a food tray edge-rolling forming mold, which solves the aforementioned problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a food tray edge-rolling forming mold, comprising an upper moving mold and a lower fixed mold, wherein the top of the lower fixed mold is provided with a forming protrusion for placing the tray upside down, the forming protrusion being a hollow rectangular frame with chamfered corners on all four sides; the bottom of the inner cavity of the upper moving mold is provided with a forming groove for hot-pressing edge-rolling the tray, the forming groove being circumferentially arranged around the forming protrusion; and the inner cavity of the lower fixed mold is provided with an ejection mechanism for ejecting the tray.

[0006] The ejection mechanism includes a connecting frame disposed within the inner cavity of the lower fixed mold. A receiving rod is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame. The top end of the receiving rod penetrates the inner cavity of the lower fixed mold and extends above it. The inner cavity of the lower fixed mold has a sliding groove that slidably connects with the surface of the receiving rod. An ejection rod located within the inner cavity of the forming protrusion is fixedly connected to the top of the receiving rod. A return spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the receiving rod and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the lower fixed mold. In use, the tray is inverted and placed on the forming protrusion above the lower fixed mold. At this time, the ejection rod lifts the tray, and then the upper moving mold... The drive mechanism presses down, pressing the tray through the forming groove. During the pressing, the upper moving mold contacts the receiving rod first, squeezing the receiving rod and causing the connecting frame to move downward. The downward pressure causes the return spring to contract, and the connecting frame causes the ejector rod to move downward, so that the tray is completely inverted on top of the forming protrusion. Then, the sides are hot-pressed and rolled. After the hot pressing is completed, the upper moving mold rises, the return spring pushes the connecting frame to rise, and then drives the receiving rod and ejector rod to rise. The ejector rod lifts the tray to reset, completing the demolding. The tray in the lower fixed mold is ejected to a certain height, making it easy for the operator to remove the tray.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the inner cavity of the lower mold is fixedly connected to a receiving block located below the receiving rod. The receiving block prevents the receiving rod from moving downwards excessively, causing irreversible compression damage to the return spring, and increases the service life of the return spring.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: positioning grooves are provided at the four corners of the upper moving mold, and positioning protrusions that are adapted to the positioning grooves are provided at the four corners of the lower fixed mold. By setting the positioning protrusions and positioning grooves, effective positioning can be achieved to prevent misalignment from causing deformation under heat pressure.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: four of each of the receiving rods and ejector rods are provided and are arranged in a ring within the lower mold, resulting in multi-point contact and more stable force distribution.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the top of the ejector rod is provided with an elastic section. When the elastic section abuts against the bottom of the tray and lifts it up, it provides appropriate cushioning to prevent damage caused by direct force.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0012] 1. In this utility model, during the downward pressing, the lower part of the upper moving mold contacts the receiving rod first, and the pressing of the receiving rod drives the connecting frame to move downward. The downward pressing resetting spring contracts, and the connecting frame drives the ejector rod to move downward, so that the tray is completely inverted on top of the forming protrusion. Then, the side is hot-pressed and rolled. After the hot pressing is completed, the upper moving mold rises, the resetting spring pushes the connecting frame to rise, and then drives the receiving rod and ejector rod to rise. The ejector rod lifts the tray to reset, completing the demolding. The tray in the lower fixed mold is pushed out to a certain height, making it convenient for the operator to remove the tray. The elastic section is set to abut against the bottom of the tray to provide appropriate cushioning when lifting it, preventing damage caused by direct force.

[0013] 2. This utility model, through the setting of positioning protrusions and positioning grooves, can effectively position and prevent misalignment from causing deformation under heat pressure. Attached Figure Description
