Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engraving equipment technology, and in particular to an automated engraving equipment for integrated blister tray processing. Background Technology

[0002] Blister trays (also known as blister packs, vacuum forming trays) are product packaging formed by heating and softening plastic sheets and then adhering them to the surface of a mold. They are widely used in the packaging of electronic components, medical devices, food, toys, cosmetics and other industries.

[0003] Currently, the cutting of blister trays is done by CNC milling cutters. After the carving is completed, there will be many burrs, which need to be trimmed manually before being removed and shaped. This is very time-consuming. In addition, the waste material after carving needs to be cleaned up manually, which is inefficient, complicated and increases the risk of worker injury.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to improve the existing engraving equipment to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an integrated automated processing and engraving equipment for blister trays.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an integrated automated processing and engraving equipment for blister trays, including an equipment frame and a laser cutting component. The equipment frame is provided with a support platform and a movable base. The support platform is fixedly connected to the equipment frame. The movable base is used to fix the blister tray, is set below the support platform, and is connected to the equipment frame through a lifting component. The lifting component can drive the movable base to move up and down.

[0007] The laser cutting assembly includes a spindle machine base, a vertical hydraulic arm, a horizontal hydraulic arm, a spindle crossbar, a first motor, a second motor, a third motor, a laser cutting gun head, and a shaping fixture. The spindle machine base is located in the middle of the upper end of the equipment frame and is connected to an external CNC operating device. The first motor is located at the lower end of the spindle machine base and is covered by a first housing. The first housing is connected to the spindle machine base and is used to install and fix the first motor. The output shaft of the first motor is connected to the spindle crossbar, which can drive the spindle crossbar to rotate circumferentially in the horizontal plane. The spindle crossbar has a horizontally extendable horizontal hydraulic arm, which can be driven to extend and retract within the spindle crossbar by hydraulic pressure. The end of the horizontal hydraulic arm is connected to a second housing. The second motor is located inside the second housing, and the output shaft of the second motor... Extending downwards, the end of the first motor connects to one end of the third housing. The third motor is housed inside the third housing, and its output shaft extends horizontally outwards from the other end of the third housing, connecting to the laser cutting head. The second motor drives the third housing to rotate in the horizontal plane, and the third motor drives the laser cutting head to rotate in the vertical plane. Through the cooperation of the first, second, and third motors, the position of the laser cutting head in three-dimensional space is adjusted, thereby cleaning burrs on the blister pack. Torque transmission between the first motor and the main shaft crossbar, between the second motor and the third housing, and between the third motor and the laser cutting head can be achieved through direct connection or by adding gears to change the transmission ratio, which can be set according to actual conditions.

[0008] Below the main shaft crossbar is a main shaft vertical bar, and inside the main shaft vertical bar is a vertically retractable vertical bar hydraulic arm. The vertical bar hydraulic arm can be driven to extend and retract within the main shaft vertical bar by hydraulic pressure. The end of the vertical bar hydraulic arm is connected to a shaping fixture. The shaping fixture is used for shaping the blister tray. The height of the shaping fixture can be adjusted by extending and retracting the vertical bar hydraulic arm to match the height of the movable base for shaping and fixing the blister tray.

[0009] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes multiple sets disposed on the outer edge of the movable base. Each lifting assembly includes a lifting motor and a lifting threaded rod. The lifting motor is fixed to the top of the equipment frame. The upper end of the lifting threaded rod is connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor, and the lower end extends downward, passing through the support platform and the movable base. The end can be rotatably connected to the threaded rod stabilizing limit platform below the movable base through bearings and other components. The lifting threaded rod is rotatably connected to the support platform. When the lifting threaded rod rotates, the relative height position between the two remains unchanged. The lifting threaded rod is threadedly connected to the movable base. When the lifting threaded rod rotates, the movable base moves up and down along the lifting threaded rod, thereby driving the blister tray to move up and down.

[0010] Furthermore, a window is provided in the middle of the support platform, and the left and right sides of the support platform are rotatably connected to the lifting threaded rod through bearings.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes an edge material guide net, which is set below the threaded rod stabilizing limit platform, and the bottom surface of the edge material guide net is inclined from one side to the other side to facilitate the discharge of edge material after it falls.

[0012] Furthermore, to facilitate heat dissipation, multiple cooling fans are also included, with at least one downward-blowing cooling fan at the top of the equipment frame and at least one upward-blowing cooling fan at the bottom of the frame.

[0013] Furthermore, to ensure smooth movement, limiting guide grooves are provided at the four corners of the movable base, and the support rods of the equipment frame are embedded in the limiting guide grooves. The limiting guide grooves and the equipment frame are movable with a certain gap to ensure smooth movement. When moving up and down on the movable base, the limiting guide grooves can limit and guide the movable base.

[0014] Furthermore, for ease of movement, the bottom of the equipment frame is equipped with four casters.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the integrated automated processing and engraving equipment for blister trays provided by this utility model enables the blister tray to be completed simultaneously from cutting to trimming to shaping and cooling and then to edge waste recycling, reducing manual labor hours and greatly reducing worker injuries caused by the original multi-process operation.

The frame 2 is provided with a support platform 9 and a movable base 3. The support platform 9 is fixedly connected to the frame 2, and the movable base 3 is used to fix the blister tray 1. It is located below the support platform 9 and is connected to the frame 2 through the lifting assembly, which can drive the movable base 3 to move up and down. The lifting assembly includes multiple sets disposed on the outer edge of the movable base 3. Each lifting assembly includes a lifting motor 10 and a lifting threaded rod 6.

The upper end of the lifting threaded rod 6 is connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor 10, and the lower end extends downward, passing through the support platform 9 and the movable base 3. The end can be rotatably connected to the threaded rod stabilizing limit platform 11 below the movable base 3 via bearings and other components. The lifting threaded rod 6 and the support platform 9 are rotatably connected. When the lifting threaded rod 6 rotates, the relative height position between the two remains unchanged. The lifting threaded rod 6 and the movable base 3 are threadedly connected. When the lifting threaded rod 6 rotates, the movable base 3 moves up and down along the lifting threaded rod 6, thereby driving the blister tray 1 to move up and down. The support platform 9 has a window in the middle, and the left and right sides of the support platform 9 are rotatably connected to the lifting threaded rod 6 via bearings. The edge material guide net 7 is disposed below the threaded rod stabilizing limit platform 11, and the bottom surface of the edge material guide net 7 is inclined from one side to the other to facilitate the discharge of edge material after it falls. In this embodiment, to simplify the connection, the edge of the threaded rod stabilizing limiting platform 11 is fixedly connected to the upper opening edge of the edge material guide net 7. To ensure smooth movement, limiting guide grooves are provided at the four corners of the movable base 3, and the support rod of the equipment frame 2 is embedded in the limiting guide grooves.

The top of the equipment frame 2 is provided with at least one downward-blowing cooling fan 5, and the bottom of the frame is provided with at least one upward-blowing cooling fan 5. In this embodiment, there are two cooling fans 5 at both the top and bottom. To facilitate movement, the bottom of the equipment frame 2 is provided with four casters 8.

[0035] like Figures 5-13As shown, the laser cutting assembly 4 includes a spindle table 4.1, a vertical hydraulic arm 4, a horizontal hydraulic arm 4.3, a spindle crossbar 4.4, a first motor 4.6, a second motor 4.8, a third motor 4.10, a laser cutting gun head 4.11, and a shaping fixture 4.12. The spindle table 4.1 is located in the middle of the upper end of the equipment frame 2 and is connected to an external CNC operating device. The external CNC operating device has the control function of the hydraulic press motor, which is a conventional function of existing equipment. The first motor 4.6 is located at the lower end of the spindle machine base 4.1 and is covered by a first housing 4.5. The first housing 4.5 is connected to the spindle machine base 4.1 and is used to install and fix the first motor 4.6. The output shaft of the first motor 4.6 is connected to the spindle crossbar 4.4, which can drive the spindle crossbar 4.4 to rotate circumferentially in the horizontal plane. The spindle crossbar 4.4 is equipped with a horizontally extendable hydraulic arm 4.3, which can be driven to extend and retract within the spindle crossbar 4.4 by hydraulic pressure. The end of the hydraulic arm 4.3 is connected to a second housing 4.7. The second motor 4.8 is located inside the second housing 4.7, and the output shaft of the second motor 4.8 extends downward, with its end connected to one end of a third housing 4.9. The third motor 4.10 is located inside the third housing 4.9. The output shaft extends horizontally from the other end of the third housing 4.9, and the end is connected to the laser cutting gun head 4.11. The second motor 4.8 can drive the third housing 4.9 to rotate in the horizontal plane, and the third motor 4.10 can drive the laser cutting gun head 4.11 to rotate in the vertical plane. Through the cooperation of the first motor 4.6, the second motor 4.8, and the third motor 4.10, the position of the laser cutting gun head 4.11 in three-dimensional space can be adjusted, thereby cleaning the burrs on the blister tray 1. The torque transmission between the first motor 4.6 and the main shaft crossbar 4.4, between the second motor 4.8 and the third housing 4.9, and between the third motor 4.10 and the laser cutting gun head 4.11 can be directly connected, or the transmission ratio can be changed by adding gears to achieve torque transmission. It can be set according to the actual situation. Below the main shaft crossbar 4.4 is a main shaft vertical bar, and inside the main shaft vertical bar is a vertically retractable vertical bar hydraulic arm 4. The vertical bar hydraulic arm 4 can be driven to extend and retract within the main shaft vertical bar by hydraulic pressure. The end of the vertical bar hydraulic arm 4 is connected to a shaping fixture 4.12. The shaping fixture 4.12 is used for shaping the blister tray 1. The height of the shaping fixture 4.12 can be adjusted by extending and retracting the vertical bar hydraulic arm 4 to match the height of the movable base 3, so as to shape and fix the blister tray 1.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] like Figure 5As shown, the lifting screw rod 6 is driven to rotate by the lifting motor 10 at the top, which can drive the movable base 3 to rise and fall within the equipment frame 2, thereby adjusting the height of the blister tray 1 to adjust the distance between it and the shaping fixture 4.12 and the laser cutting gun head 4.11.

[0038] like Figures 7-9 As shown, the blister tray 1 is placed on the movable base 3. The vertical hydraulic arm 4 is extended and retracted via hydraulic control, causing the shaping fixture 4.12 to press onto the blister tray 1, shaping it. After shaping, the fixture is lifted. Then, the horizontal hydraulic arm 4.3 is extended and retracted via hydraulic control, and the first motor 4.6, second motor 4.8, and third motor 4.10 are controlled by an external CNC operating device to adjust the position and angle of the laser cutting gun head 4.11, aligning it with the blister tray 1 to cut and remove the outer burrs, and to create openings in the blister tray 1. Specifically, as... Figure 9 As shown, the first motor 4.6 can drive the main shaft crossbar 4.4 to rotate in the AB direction, as indicated by the arrow in the figure. Figure 11 As shown, the second motor 4.8 can drive the third housing 4.9 to rotate in the horizontal plane, and the third motor 4.10 can drive the laser cutting gun head 4.11 to rotate in the vertical plane, as shown by the arrows in the figure.
