Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermoforming equipment, specifically a thermoforming equipment for multi-chamber parts. Background Technology

[0002] Thermoforming equipment for parts heats materials such as metals to a plastic state. At this temperature, the strength of the metal material decreases while its ductility increases, making it easier to form. Then, pressure is applied to the heated sheet metal through a mold and pressure mechanism, causing it to plastically deform according to the shape of the mold. Finally, it cools and solidifies to obtain the desired shape of the automotive part. This industrial equipment, which uses mold pressure forming and cooling treatment, produces high-precision, high-performance parts. It is widely used in the automotive, aerospace, and other fields, and is especially suitable for producing high-strength, complex-shaped parts.

[0003] However, most existing thermoforming equipment uses a single chamber to thermoform and stamp parts, resulting in low forming efficiency. Furthermore, the formed parts are not easy to remove from the mold. In addition, the formed parts after leaving the mold need to be manually removed from the chamber, which greatly reduces production efficiency. Utility Model Content
