Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermoforming equipment technology, and in particular to a thermoforming device for food-grade thermoforming film. Background Technology
[0002] Thermoformed film is a thin film material made through a thermoforming process. It is typically made from high-molecular polymers such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polystyrene (PS). During manufacturing, the polymer material is first heated to a softened state, and then, under the action of a mold, it is shaped to fit the mold through vacuum adsorption, pressure forming, or other methods. After cooling, it solidifies and takes its final form. Thermoformed film has excellent flexibility and can adapt to the packaging needs of products of various shapes. In the food packaging industry, food-grade thermoformed film is widely used. The processing and forming of thermoformed film requires matching upper and lower molds.
[0003] Because the mold is fixed by positioning bolts, multiple bolts need to be rotated frequently during disassembly and assembly to separate the mold from the mounting plate, which increases the difficulty of replacement and reduces the efficiency of replacement. In view of the above reasons, this application proposes a thermoforming device for food-grade thermoforming film. Utility Model Content

[0042] Example 1
[0043] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention proposes a thermoforming device for food-grade thermoforming film, including a base 1, a mounting frame 2 for support fixed on the top of the base 1, a hydraulic cylinder 3 for driving on the top of the mounting frame 2, a top plate 4 for installation below the hydraulic cylinder 3, two limiting rods 12 fixed on the top of the top plate 4, a horizontal plate 11 fixed on both sides of the mounting frame 2, a sliding groove on the horizontal plate 11, the limiting rods 12 and the sliding groove being movably connected, an upper mold 7 and a lower mold 6 respectively on the top plate 4 and the base 1, slots 15 on both sides of the upper mold 7 and the lower mold 6, and two locking structures 5 for fixing the mold on both the top plate 4 and the base 1.
[0044] The locking structure 5 includes an installation box 501 for installation, a rod 502 is movably disposed inside the installation box 501, a locking frame 505 for locking is movably disposed inside the installation box 501, a connecting seat 504 is fixedly disposed on one inner wall of the installation box 501, the locking frame 505 and the connecting seat 504 are movably connected, a locking block 503 is fixedly disposed on one side of the rod 502, the locking frame 505 includes a locking rod and a locking hook, the locking frame 505 can lock the rod 502, the locking hook and the locking block 503 are both provided with parallel inclined surfaces on the sides close to each other, a spring 506 is fixedly disposed on one inner wall of the installation box 501, the other end of the spring 506 is in contact with the locking frame 505, a top rod 507 is movably disposed on one inner wall of the installation box 501, a baffle is fixedly disposed on one end of the top rod 507 away from the locking frame 505, a second spring is sleeved on the top rod 507, one end of the second spring is in contact with the baffle, and the other end of the second spring is in contact with the installation box 501;
[0045] The lower mold 6 has multiple internal threaded holes 9, and a positioning pin 10 is movably installed in the internal threaded holes 9. The cooperation between the positioning pin 10 and the internal threaded holes 9 can realize the positioning of the thermoformed film and reduce the forming deviation. The bottom outer wall of the positioning pin 10 has a texture 14, which is adapted to the internal threaded holes 9. The top outer wall of the positioning pin 10 has an anti-slip groove 13. The bottom of the upper mold 7 has multiple round holes 8, and the inner diameter and position of the round holes 8 and the internal threaded holes 9 are the same.
[0046] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to replace the upper mold 7 and the lower mold 6, firstly, each set of push rods 507 are simultaneously pressed inward. The push rods 507 then press the locking frame 505. The locking frame 505 rotates within the connecting seat 504 and presses the spring 506 on one side. When the locking frame 505 rotates, it will cause the locking hook to separate from the locking block 503. At this time, the two insert rods 502 are pulled in opposite directions. When the ends of the insert rods 502 that are close to each other are both dislodged from the slot 15, the upper mold 7 or the lower mold 6 can be removed. During installation, the upper mold 7 or the lower mold 6 is placed between each set of insert rods 502, and the slot 15 and the insert rods 502 are on the same horizontal line. Then, the two insert rods 502 are pressed in opposite directions. The locking block 503 is driven, and the locking block 503 then presses the locking frame 505. When the inclined surface on one side of the locking block 503 separates from the inclined surface on one side of the locking frame 505, the spring 506 causes the locking frame 505 to reset and lock onto the locking block 503, thereby locking the insertion rod 502. At this time, one end of the insertion rod 502 is inserted into the slot 15 to complete the installation. During hot pressing, the food-grade thermoforming film is placed in the groove of the lower mold 7, and then the positioning pin 10 is passed through the positioning hole of the thermoforming film and connected to the internal thread hole 9 to complete the precise positioning of the thermoforming film and effectively avoid molding deviation. The setting of multiple internal thread holes 9 allows the user to easily switch the position of the positioning pin 10 according to the actual situation, which is convenient for positioning products of different sizes.
[0047] The above specific embodiments are merely several optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
