Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blister tray production technology, specifically a cutting machine for blister tray production. Background Technology
[0002] Blister trays are plastic packaging products manufactured using a vacuum forming process. They are typically made of plastic materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), and polyethylene (PE). The production process involves heating and softening plastic sheets, then vacuum-pressing them onto a mold. After cooling, the desired shape is achieved. Blister trays possess good transparency, flexibility, and corrosion resistance, clearly displaying products while protecting them and facilitating transportation and storage. They are widely used in industries such as electronics, toys, food, and pharmaceuticals. They can be designed into various specifications and shapes to meet different product needs, making them an economical and practical packaging material. Currently, during the production of blister trays, after vacuum forming, an edge trimming machine is used to trim and cut the edges. However, this edge trimming process generates plastic debris, which easily floats in the air as dust or falls onto the trimming table, requiring subsequent cleaning by workers. This increases the workload and intensity of the workers and is detrimental to the edge trimming process of blister trays. Utility Model Content

The right end of the first connecting pipe 9 communicates with the interior of the connecting box 6.
[0023] Furthermore, the auxiliary cleaning mechanism also includes a second collection box 10, which is placed at the lower end of the rear surface of the workbench 1.
[0024] Furthermore, the dust collection system composed of the first collection box 5 and the connecting box 6 can effectively collect the debris generated during edge cutting, prevent smaller debris from flying, reduce dust pollution in the workshop, and the comb water box 13 and the second collection box 10 clean up larger waste materials on the work plate 3, keeping the work area clean, improving the working environment of the workers, facilitating the use of the edge cutting machine, and improving the edge cutting efficiency of the blister tray.
[0025] Furthermore, the upper surface of the work plate 3 is open, and multiple rectangular plates 11 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the work plate 3.
[0026] Furthermore, a second connecting pipe 12 is fixedly installed on the front surface of the work plate 3. The lower end of the second connecting pipe 12 extends to the lower end of the workbench 1, and the rear end of the second connecting pipe 12 extends into the interior of the work plate 3. A water combing box 13 is fixedly installed on the front end of the inner wall of the work plate 3, and the front end of the water combing box 13 is open.
[0027] Furthermore, a discharge hole 14 is provided at the lower end of the rear inner wall of the working plate 3.
[0028] Furthermore, threaded rods 15 are rotatably mounted on the left and right inner walls of the U-shaped mounting plate 2, and slider 4 is threadedly connected to threaded rods 15. A motor 16 is fixedly mounted on the right surface of the U-shaped mounting plate 2, and the output end of the motor 16 rotatably penetrates into the interior of the U-shaped mounting plate 2. The motor 16 is fixedly connected to threaded rods 15.
[0029] Furthermore, when using this edge-cutting machine, firstly, the operator manually places the blister board on the upper surface of the work plate 3. Multiple rectangular plates 11 support the blister board, ensuring its stable placement. The operator then stabilizes and adjusts the blister board. Next, the motor 16 is started, driving the threaded rod 15 to rotate. Since the slider 4 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 15, the slider 4 moves horizontally on the lower inner wall of the U-shaped mounting plate 2, adjusting the position of the edge-cutting assembly 8 to align it with the area of the blister board that needs edge-cutting.

After the edge-cutting is completed, the electric push rod 7 retracts, driving the edge-cutting assembly 8... Upon resetting, when the cutting blade is cutting the edges of the thermoformed board, the industrial vacuum cleaner connected to the first connecting pipe 9 starts and generates suction. The debris generated during cutting is drawn into the first collection box 5 through the opening on the lower surface of the first collection box 5 under the action of suction, and then enters the first connecting pipe 9 through the connecting box 6, and is finally sucked into the industrial vacuum cleaner, thus collecting the debris generated during cutting. Larger debris remaining on the work plate 3 enters the interior of the work plate 3. Water is then added to the interior of the work plate 3 through the second connecting pipe 12, and the water flows out through the water comb 13 to clean the waste inside the work plate 3. The cleaned waste can be discharged through the discharge hole 14 at the lower end of the rear inner wall of the work plate 3 and enters the second collection box 10 placed at the lower end of the rear surface of the worktable 1.
