Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0021] A heating device for vacuum forming includes a vacuum forming box 1. A top plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the vacuum forming box 1 via support columns 2. Four support columns 2 are provided, with their lower ends fixedly connected to the four corners of the top of the vacuum forming box 1, and their upper ends fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the top plate 4. A cylinder 5 is fixedly mounted on the top of the top plate 4, with its lower end movably penetrating the top plate 4 and fixedly connected to a lifting plate 3. The four support columns 2 movably penetrate the four corners of the lifting plate 3. A silicate heat insulation cover 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 3, and an upper heating plate 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the silicate heat insulation cover 11. The top of the vacuum forming box 1 is located below the upper heating plate 12. A mold cavity 7 is provided. A lower heating plate 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the blister box 1 outside the mold cavity 7. The cylinder 5, the lower heating plate 9, and the upper heating plate 12 are electrically connected to an external blister forming machine via wires and are uniformly controlled by a controller on the external blister forming machine. (Details omitted here.) A silicate heat insulation plate 14 is fixed in the blister box 1 below the lower heating plate 9. The lower heating plate 9 and the upper heating plate 12 allow for simultaneous heating of the top and bottom of the plastic sheet placed above the lower heating plate 9, improving the heating efficiency of the plastic sheet. Simultaneously, by moving the bottom of the silicate heat insulation cover 11 to contact the top of the blister box 1, the cooperation between the silicate heat insulation cover 11 and the silicate heat insulation plate 14 can slow down the heating of the plastic sheet. To mitigate heat loss during the heating process of the plastic sheet, an inner cavity 13 is provided in the blister box 1 below the mold cavity 7. The mold cavity 7 communicates with the interior of the inner cavity 13 through suction holes 6 at the bottom of the mold cavity 7. Several suction holes 6 are provided at the bottom of the mold cavity 7. An air extraction pipe 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the blister box 1. One end of the air extraction pipe 10 inside the blister box 1 extends into the inner cavity 13, and the outer end of the air extraction pipe 10 is connected to the air inlet of the vacuum compressor in the external blister machine. In use, the plastic sheet to be blistered can be placed on top of the lower heating plate 9, and the cylinder 5 is driven to move the lifting plate 3 downward. The downward movement of the lifting plate 3 can move the silicate heat insulation cover 11 and the upper heating plate 12 downward together, so that the silicate heat insulation cover... The bottom of 11 is attached to the top of the blister box 1. At this time, the lower heating plate 9 and the upper heating plate 12 are energized, and the plastic sheet can be heated and thermoformed through the lower heating plate 9 and the upper heating plate 12. During this process, the heat loss can be reduced by the silicate heat insulation plate 14 and the silicate heat insulation cover 11. After the plastic sheet is thermoformed and softened, the external vacuum compressor is turned on, and the vacuum is drawn into the mold cavity 7 through the air extraction pipe 10, so that the mold cavity 7 generates negative pressure. At this time, under the action of negative pressure, the softened plastic sheet can cover the surface of the mold cavity 7. Then, the heating of the lower heating plate 9 and the upper heating plate 12 can be stopped, and the cylinder 5 is driven to move the lifting plate 3 together with the silicate heat insulation cover 11 upward, and wait for the product to cool and form.

[0022] A lifting seat 8 is located at the center of the bottom of the mold cavity 7. An electric push rod 15 is installed in the inner cavity 13 below the lifting seat 8. The upper end of the electric push rod 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting seat 8. By driving the electric push rod 15, the lifting seat 8 is moved upwards, allowing the cooled and formed product inside the mold cavity 7 to be ejected upwards, facilitating demolding and removal. A receiving groove 17 is provided at the bottom of the mold cavity 7, and the lifting seat 8 is located in the receiving groove 17. The lifting seat 8 is an inverted trapezoidal truncated cone shape. The top of the mold is flush with the bottom of the inner side of the cavity 7. A support block 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner side of the cavity 13. An electric push rod 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the support block 16. After the product cools and forms, the electric push rod 15 drives the lifting seat 8 to move upward. The lifting seat 8 can eject the product from the mold cavity 7 and demold it. After the product is ejected, the electric push rod 15 can drive the lifting seat 8 to move downward and move the lifting seat 8 back into the receiving groove 17, so that a new plastic sheet can be vacuum formed.

[0023] Working principle: In use, the plastic sheet to be thermoformed can be placed on top of the lower heating plate 9, and the driving cylinder 5 drives the lifting plate 3 to move downward. The downward movement of the lifting plate 3 can drive the silicate heat insulation cover 11 and the upper heating plate 12 to move downward together, so that the bottom of the silicate heat insulation cover 11 is in contact with the top of the thermoforming box 1. At this time, the lower heating plate 9 and the upper heating plate 12 are energized, and the plastic sheet can be heated and thermoformed through the lower heating plate 9 and the upper heating plate 12. During this process, the heat loss can be reduced by the silicate heat insulation plate 14 and the silicate heat insulation cover 11. After the plastic sheet is thermoformed and softened, the external vacuum compressor is turned on, and the mold cavity 7 is evacuated through the suction pipe 10. The internal vacuum is drawn to create negative pressure inside the mold cavity 7. Under this negative pressure, the softened plastic sheet can cover the surface of the mold cavity 7. Then, the heating of the lower heating plate 9 and the upper heating plate 12 can be stopped, and the cylinder 5 is driven to move the lifting plate 3 along with the silicate heat insulation cover 11 upward. Wait for the product to cool and solidify. After the product has cooled and solidified, the electric push rod 15 is driven to move the lifting seat 8 upward. The lifting seat 8 can eject the product from the mold cavity 7 and demold it. After the product is ejected, the electric push rod 15 can move the lifting seat 8 downward and move the lifting seat 8 back into the receiving groove 17, so that a new plastic sheet can be vacuum formed.
