Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum forming machines, specifically to a suction device for a vacuum forming machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the vacuum forming process, the suction device is the core component of the vacuum forming machine. Its performance directly determines the forming quality of the plastic material, the workpiece qualification rate, and the applicability of the equipment. With the rapid development of the plastic processing industry, the market demand for vacuum-formed products is becoming increasingly diversified. It not only needs to meet the production of conventional flat workpieces, but also the processing needs of irregularly shaped workpieces are gradually increasing. This places higher demands on the uniform suction capacity and suction adjustment flexibility of the suction device.
[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN218985719U discloses a suction device for a vacuum forming machine, including a base. A vacuum pump is fixedly connected inside the base, and a suction pipe is fixedly connected to the input end of the vacuum pump. A diverter pipe is fixedly connected to the upper side of the outer wall of the suction pipe, and the upper part of the outer wall of the diverter pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of a first through groove, which is located on the upper surface of the base. In this utility model, by activating the vacuum pump, the air pressure inside the placement box is reduced under the action of the suction pipe and the diverter pipe. The arrangement of the first and second through grooves allows for the even extraction of gas from the placement box. The through holes on the upper surface of the placement box allow for the even extraction of gas from the plastic, thus solving the problems of continuous suction at one location leading to cracking of the plastic material in that area, and uneven heating of the plastic if the suction speed is too fast, thereby improving the molding effect.
[0004] However, the suction speed of this device and similar traditional suction devices is evenly distributed, making it only suitable for the production of common large flat workpieces. In the processing of irregularly shaped workpieces, some areas require higher suction speeds to form complex structures such as arcs. Traditional devices cannot adjust the suction speed according to the different areas, resulting in inaccurate forming of key parts of irregularly shaped workpieces, insufficient surface flatness, and even forming failure. In addition, existing devices mostly lack flexible opening area adjustment structures, making it difficult to adjust the suction speed according to the shape and material properties of the workpiece. This limits their applicability and fails to meet diverse production needs, hindering the expansion of the application of vacuum forming machines in the field of irregularly shaped workpiece processing. Utility Model Content

[0027] Working Principle: When the suction device of this vacuum forming machine is working, the negative pressure device 1 is first activated, which creates a continuous negative pressure environment through the suction pipe 2. External air enters the device through the through-hole plate 7 at the top of the chamber 6 and is finally discharged through the exhaust pipe, completing the suction cycle. In the specific process, the suction force generated by the negative pressure device 1 is transmitted to the multi-group diversion pipes 4 through the suction pipe 2. Since each chamber 6 is equipped with a corresponding diversion pipe 4, and the end of the diversion pipe 4 extends directly into the interior of the chamber 6, the suction force can be evenly distributed to each chamber 6, avoiding excessive suction in a single area that could cause the plastic material to crack.
[0028] The pipe opening area adjustment component 5 adjusts the effective ventilation area of the diversion pipe 4 through the cooperation of the baffle 11, the fan-shaped opening 12, and the semi-circular rotating component 13: the baffle 11 is fixed inside the diversion pipe 4, and the fan-shaped opening 12 (angle less than 180 degrees) on it provides a channel for gas flow, while the semi-circular rotating component 13, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft 14, can rotate around the shaft. When the semi-circular rotating component 13 rotates, its arc surface will partially or completely block the fan-shaped opening 12. By changing the size of the overlapping area of the two, the opening area of the diversion pipe 4 can be precisely controlled.
[0029] The servo motor 17 is fixed to the outside of the diverter pipe 4, and its output end is coaxially connected to the second bevel gear 16. The second bevel gear 16 meshes with the first bevel gear 15 on the side of the semi-circular rotating part 13 facing away from the baffle 11. When the servo motor 17 is started, the power is transmitted to the first bevel gear 15 through the second bevel gear 16. Through the direction conversion of the bevel gear set, the semi-circular rotating part 13 is driven to rotate around the rotating shaft 14 (the rotating shaft 14 coincides with the center of the baffle 11, the fan-shaped opening 12, and the semi-circular rotating part 13 to ensure adjustment accuracy). The operator can adjust the opening area adjustment components 5 of each group of pipes individually through the controller of the servo motor 17 according to the forming requirements of different areas of the irregular workpiece, so that the corresponding chambers 6 produce differentiated suction speeds. For example, the opening area can be increased in areas where an arc structure needs to be formed to increase the suction force and meet the processing requirements of complex-shaped workpieces.
[0030] The placement box 3 provides installation support for the suction pipe 2 and the diversion pipe 4, while forming a relatively closed airflow channel; the independent maintenance box 8 protects the negative pressure equipment 1, and its hinged maintenance cover 9 can be easily opened and closed, facilitating daily maintenance and troubleshooting; the detachable pipe end cap 10 of the suction pipe 2 away from the negative pressure equipment 1 allows users to disassemble and connect extension pipes according to production needs, adding more diversion pipes 4 and supporting structures, flexibly expanding the suction range of the device. Through the synergistic effect of the above components, the device can achieve uniform gas extraction and precise suction adjustment for the complex needs of irregularly shaped workpieces, greatly improving the adaptability and reliability of vacuum forming.
