Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of vacuum forming equipment, specifically relating to an integrated quick mold changing vacuum forming equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum forming equipment, also known as a thermoforming machine, is a type of machinery used for processing plastics, primarily for producing various types of plastic packaging products and other plastic products. It works by heating a plastic sheet to its softening point, then using vacuum or pressure to cover or stretch the softened plastic sheet onto a mold, where it cools and forms the desired shape.
[0003] Problems with existing technology:
[0004] Currently, when using existing vacuum forming equipment, the molds are usually large in size and weight, making mold replacement inconvenient. Furthermore, the molds in existing vacuum forming equipment are still replaced manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and also affects the working efficiency of the vacuum forming equipment. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated quick mold changing thermoforming device that can automatically and quickly change the mold of the thermoforming equipment through the linkage of the positioning component and the feeding component, and through the linkage with the material changing mechanism. This makes the mold changing of the thermoforming equipment more time-saving and labor-saving, and does not affect the work efficiency.
[0006] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] An integrated rapid mold-changing thermoforming equipment includes a main body of the equipment, and a worktable is provided on one side of the main body of the equipment;
[0008] The material changing mechanism fixedly installed on the top of the workbench drives the material tray to rotate, and a mold changing mechanism is provided on one side of the main body of the equipment.
[0009] The mold changing mechanism includes a positioning component and a feeding component;
[0010] The positioning component includes a frame, and a second motor is fixedly installed inside the frame. The second motor drives the first screw to rotate, so that the first screw drives the sliding seat and the first cylinder to move linearly, and the first cylinder pushes the push plate to move vertically.
[0011] The feeding assembly includes a connecting frame and a third motor. A frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting frame. The third motor drives the second screw to rotate, causing the second screw to drive the mounting base and the second cylinder to move linearly. The second cylinder pushes the clamping plate to move vertically.
[0012] A retainer is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench, and the material changing mechanism drives the material tray to rotate on the top of the retainer.
[0013] The frame is fixedly installed with the main body of the equipment. A template is slidably installed on the top of the frame. A snap-fit plate is provided on one side of the template. The first cylinder pushes the push plate to snap into the template. The first screw is threadedly installed with the sliding seat.
[0014] One end of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to the machine frame, the third motor is fixedly installed on one side surface of the frame, and the second screw is rotatably installed inside the frame.
[0015] The second screw is threaded onto the mounting base, and the second cylinder pushes the clamping plate to engage with the snap-fit plate on one side of the template.
[0016] The material changing mechanism includes a first motor and a base plate. The drive transmission box of the first motor drives the main gear to rotate. A rotating column is rotatably installed on the top of the base plate, and a secondary gear is provided at the bottom of the rotating column.
[0017] The first motor is fixedly installed inside the workbench. The main gear and the auxiliary gear mesh and drive each other, so that the main gear drives the rotating column to rotate through the auxiliary gear.
[0018] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:
[0019] This invention utilizes a positioning component and a feeding component installed on one side of the main body of the equipment. A second motor installed inside the frame drives a first screw to rotate, causing a sliding seat to move a first cylinder and a push plate linearly. Since the first cylinder can drive the push plate vertically, it can engage with the bottom of the template. The movement of the sliding seat sends the template to the feeding component. The activation of a third motor causes a second screw to move a mounting base, a second cylinder, and a clamping plate to the top of a clamping plate installed on one side of the template. The second cylinder engages the clamping plate, and the third motor and second screw then feed the template to the top of the material tray. Therefore, this device, through the cooperation of the positioning and feeding components, can automatically remove the mold from the thermoforming equipment, and also makes template installation more convenient.
[0020] This invention utilizes a material changing mechanism installed on the top of the workbench. A first motor drives a transmission box to rotate the main gear, which in turn drives the secondary gear and rotating column to rotate. Since the top of the rotating column is fixedly installed to the bottom of the material tray, the material tray can rotate the template reserved on its surface, thereby switching different templates to one side of the positioning component. Through the linkage between the positioning component and the feeding component, the rapid and automatic replacement of the mold in the thermoforming equipment can be achieved.

Detailed Implementation
[0029] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.
[0030] like Figure 1-6 As shown, an integrated quick mold changing thermoforming equipment includes a main body 1, and a worktable 2 is provided on one side of the main body 1;
[0031] The material changing mechanism 3, which is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench 2, drives the material tray 4 to rotate. A mold changing mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the main body of the equipment 1.
[0032] The mold changing mechanism 5 includes a positioning component 51 and a feeding component 52;
[0033] The positioning component 51 includes a frame 511, and a second motor 512 is fixedly installed inside the frame 511. The second motor 512 drives the first screw 513 to rotate, so that the first screw 513 drives the sliding seat 514 and the first cylinder 515 to move linearly, and the first cylinder 515 pushes the push plate 516 to move vertically.
[0034] The feeding assembly 52 includes a connecting frame 521 and a third motor 523. A frame 522 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting frame 521. The third motor 523 drives the second screw 524 to rotate, causing the second screw 524 to drive the mounting base 525 and the second cylinder 526 to move linearly. The second cylinder 526 pushes the clamping plate 527 to move vertically.
[0035] See attached document Figure 1 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, a retainer 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench 2, and the material changing mechanism 3 drives the material tray 4 to rotate on the top of the retainer 7.
[0036] In the above embodiment, since the bottom of the material tray 4 is fixedly installed with the top of the material changing mechanism 3, when the material changing mechanism 3 is started, the material changing mechanism 3 can drive the material tray 4 to rotate. At the same time, a roller is rotatably installed on the top of the retainer 7, and the top of the roller is rollingly connected to the bottom of the material tray 4. Therefore, the material tray 4 can be supported by the retainer 7.
[0037] The retainer 7 consists of a ring and multiple uprights, with the bottom of the uprights welded to the top of the workbench 2. This allows the ring to remain in the same position and disperses the pressure generated by the material tray 4 and the template 6 on top of it to the bottom of the workbench 2, preventing it from directly affecting the top of the material changing mechanism 3.
[0038] See attached document Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the frame 511 is fixedly installed with the equipment body 1. The template 6 is slidably installed on the top of the frame 511. A snap-fit plate is provided on one side of the template 6. The first cylinder 515 pushes the push plate 516 to snap into the template 6. The first screw 513 is threadedly installed with the sliding seat 514.
[0039] In the above embodiment, a guide rail is installed on the top of the frame 511, and the template 6 is slidably installed on the frame 511 via the guide rail. Since the sliding seat 514 is threadedly installed with the first screw 513, when the second motor 512 is started to drive the first screw 513 to rotate, the sliding seat 514 can drive the first cylinder 515 to move.
[0040] Furthermore, since the start of the first cylinder 515 can drive the push plate 516 to rise and fall, and when the push plate 516 rises, it can engage with the bottom of the template 6, so that when the sliding seat 514 moves, it can drive the template 6 to move synchronously at the bottom of the frame 511, thereby sending the template 6 to the bottom of the feeding assembly 52.
[0041] Specifically, one end of the connecting frame 521 is fixedly connected to the frame 511, while the third motor 523 is fixedly installed on one side surface of the frame 522. Therefore, when the third motor 523 is started, the third motor 523 can drive the second screw 524 to rotate inside the frame 522.
[0042] It is worth noting that, since the second screw 524 is threadedly installed with the mounting base 525, and the second cylinder 526 can push the clamping plate 527 downward, thereby allowing the clamping plate 527 to be inserted into the snap-fit plate on one side of the template 6, when the second screw 524 moves, the mounting base 525 can drive the template 6 to move synchronously through the second cylinder 526 and the clamping plate 527, thereby moving the template 6 to the top of the material tray 4.
[0043] The top of the material tray 4 is also equipped with a guide rail, so the template 6 is fixed in a straight line at the top of the material tray 4, and when the template 6 is replaced, it can ensure the accurate installation of the template 6 and the vacuum forming equipment.
[0044] See attached document Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the material changing mechanism 3 includes a first motor 31 and a base plate 32. The drive transmission box 34 of the first motor 31 drives the main gear 35 to rotate. A rotating column 33 is rotatably installed on the top of the base plate 32, and a secondary gear 36 is provided at the bottom of the rotating column 33.
[0045] In the above embodiment, the transmission box 34 can be driven to rotate by starting the first motor 31, and the main gear 35 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the transmission box 34, so the main gear 35 can be driven to rotate synchronously.
[0046] According to the above structure, since the main gear 35 and the auxiliary gear 36 mesh and drive each other, when the main gear 35 rotates, it can drive the auxiliary gear 36 and the rotating column 33 to rotate synchronously. Since the top of the rotating column 33 is fixedly installed with the material tray 4, the material tray 4 can be rotated, thereby realizing the switching of different molds.
[0047] Specifically, the first motor 31 is fixedly installed inside the workbench 2, while the base plate 32 is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench 2, and a bearing is installed between the rotating column 33 and the base plate 32, so that the rotating column 33 can rotate on the top of the base plate 32.
[0048] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to change the mold, simply start the first cylinder 515 to drive the push plate 516 upward, so that the push plate 516 engages with the bottom of the template 6. Then, start the second motor 512 to drive the first screw 513 to rotate, so that the push plate 516 drives the template 6 to move linearly to the bottom of the feeding assembly 52. Then, start the second cylinder 526 to drive the clamping plate 527 downward, so that the clamping plate 527 engages with the snap-fit plate on one side of the template 6. Then, start the third motor 523 to drive the second screw 523. 4. Rotation causes the clamping plate 527 to pull the template 6 through the snap-fit plate. After the template 6 is pulled to the bottom of the material tray 4, the first motor 31 is started to drive the transmission box 34 to rotate the main gear 35. Through the meshing of the main gear 35 and the auxiliary gear 36, the auxiliary gear 36 drives the rotating column 33 and the material tray 4 to rotate, so that the mold that needs to be replenished can be moved to one side of the positioning component 51. By starting the positioning component 51 and the feeding component 52 in the opposite way, the automatic replacement of the mold can be realized.
[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
