Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum foil processing technology, and in particular to an aluminum foil embossing device. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum foil, due to its excellent properties, is widely used in food, beverages, cigarettes, pharmaceuticals, photographic plates, and household goods, typically as their packaging material. Aluminum foil is a flexible metal film that not only possesses advantages such as moisture resistance, airtightness, light blocking, abrasion resistance, aroma retention, and non-toxicity and odorlessness, but also, due to its elegant silvery-white luster, is easy to process into beautiful patterns and designs of various colors.

[0003] When aluminum foil is used in packaging, the R&D process involves prototyping, small-batch trial production, and mass production. In existing technologies, when aluminum foil is in the prototyping stage, different embossing patterns and pressures are tested. However, existing CNC molds are costly. Because multiple molds need to be tested during the prototyping stage, the cost is high. If the mold is not suitable for the final mass-produced product, it will be idle, resulting in wasted resources. Utility Model Content

[0046] A pressure sensor 7 is provided on the top of the base assembly 1. A base 2 is adapted to be placed on top of the pressure sensor 7. A receiving cavity is formed on the top of the base 2. A grid template 3 is detachably disposed within the receiving cavity. Guide rails 4 are arranged along the front-to-back direction. There are two guide rails 4, symmetrically arranged above the base assembly 1 and distributed on the left and right sides of the base assembly 1. A scraper 5 is arranged along the left-to-right direction, with both ends of the scraper 5 slidably connected to the corresponding guide rail 4. The blade of the scraper 5 is positioned downwards and above the grid template 3. When the aluminum foil 8 is laid flat on top of the grid template 3, a silicone pad 6 is adapted to cover the aluminum foil 8 so that the scraper 5 applies pressure to the aluminum foil 8 through the silicone pad 6. The base assembly 1 is adapted to adjust the pressure applied by the scraper 5 to the aluminum foil 8.

[0047] In this embodiment, the pressure applied to the aluminum foil 8 by the scraper 5 is adjusted by the base assembly 1 so that the grid template 3 prints a pattern on the aluminum foil 8.

[0048] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, the base assembly 1 includes a base 11, a guide post 12, a top plate 13, and an adjustment device 14.
