Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an top-mounted flat-press forming device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing automated flatbed die-cutting equipment uses center-based die-cutting, which limits the product specifications and types. Products such as gray board trim and PVC film cannot be automatically die-cut. Small batches, small orders, small specifications, and irregularly shaped packaging products can only be produced and processed manually, which consumes labor and results in high manual die-cutting costs. In addition, the low safety factor increases the difficulty and cost of recruiting workers. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the technical problems existing in the background art, the present invention aims to provide a top-mounted flat-press forming device, which uses positioning holes arranged along the edge of the supporting surface as a reference to transport the product side into place and form it, and is suitable for smaller product specifications.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: the top-mounted flat-press forming equipment includes a forming mechanism, the forming mechanism includes an upper mold and a lower mold that cooperate with each other, the upper mold includes a forming mold, the lower mold has a supporting surface, wherein the lower mold is raised and lowered, and the supporting surface has positioning holes arranged along the edge line, the positioning holes being connected to an air source.

[0005] In this scheme, the positioning holes arranged along the edge of the support surface are used as a reference to transport the product side into place and form it. When the product specifications change, the conveying stroke is adjusted, and the forming mold is also adjusted with the positioning holes as a reference. For small specifications, the forming mold can be made smaller.

[0006] Preferably, it also includes a feeding mechanism, which defines the longitudinal direction from front to back and the transverse direction from left to right. The feeding mechanism includes a feeding robot and a feeding table. The feeding robot moves longitudinally and is raised and lowered. The feeding robot is disposed on the front side of the supporting surface, and the positioning hole is disposed on the rear side of the supporting surface.

[0007] In this solution, the feeding robot lifts and places products to be formed, moves longitudinally to convey the products, and adjusts the longitudinal movement stroke to adapt to changes in product specifications, eliminating the need for manual feeding.

[0008] Preferably, the feeding platform is equipped with a lifting mechanism.

[0009] In this scheme, the feeding platform rises during the forming process so that the products to be transported at the top are at the same height, which facilitates unified transport by the feeding robot.

[0010] Preferably, the feeding platform is equipped with a feeding positioning plate, which is laterally movable.

[0011] In this solution, the feeding positioning plate moves laterally to center the stacked products in the horizontal direction. When the product specifications change, the feeding robot does not need to make adjustments in the horizontal direction, ensuring reliable picking and placing.

[0012] Preferably, it also includes a receiving mechanism, which includes a receiving robot and a receiving platform. The receiving robot moves longitudinally and is raised and lowered. The receiving robot is located on the rear side of the supporting surface, and the receiving platform is raised and lowered.

[0013] In this solution, the receiving robot lifts and places the formed products, moves longitudinally to move the products from the supporting surface to the receiving platform for stacking, and lowers the receiving platform so that the top products are at the same height, which makes it convenient for the receiving robot to stack them uniformly without the need for manual collection.

[0014] Preferably, the receiving platform is equipped with a receiving positioning plate, which is laterally movable.

[0015] In this solution, the receiving positioning plate moves laterally to center the stacked products horizontally, ensuring neat stacking.

[0016] Preferably, the lower mold is connected to sliders at its four corners, and the sliders are slidably fitted with vertical slide rails.

[0017] In this design, the slider and the vertical slide rail work together to guide the lifting and lowering of the lower mold at the four corners, ensuring that the product plane is subjected to uniform force during molding.

[0018] Preferably, a hydraulic cylinder is provided below the lower mold, and the hydraulic cylinder drives the lower mold to rise and fall.

[0019] In this solution, hydraulic drive provides excellent forming results, enabling one-time die cutting and embossing of multiple sheets of material.

[0020] Preferably, it also includes a frame, the upper mold includes a mounting base, the mounting base is fixedly connected to the frame, and the forming mold is detachably connected to the mounting base.

[0021] In this scheme, the molding die is replaced when the specifications change.

[0022] Preferably, the lower mold includes a base and a pad, the pad having the supporting surface, and a plurality of cylinders are provided between the base and the pad, with the front and rear sides of the pad connected to the output shaft of the cylinders.

[0023] In this solution, the flatness of the molding die is inconsistent during processing, which leads to uneven pressure during the molding process. Pressure supplement paper can be placed between the base and the pad, and the cylinder drives the pad to rise to facilitate the placement of the pressure supplement paper.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that it enables automated production of small batches of products, allows for the making of small-sized molds, reducing the number of molds required, and ensures that the product is not limited to centered placement during molding, resulting in uniform stress on the product surface. Therefore, this utility model has substantial features and advancements compared to existing technologies. Attached Figure Description
