Abstract

The thermoforming machine has a heating device which consists of upper heater 1a and lower heater 1b and can be moved in a reciprocating manner between a moulding station 2 and a preheating station 5, so that, in its position in the preheating station, it preheats a new sheet 4 and, after moving together with the sheet 4 into the moulding station, it brings sheet 4 to the final shaping temperature in the station. In the preheating station, a heat accumulation plate 8 is provided between a mount 7 for the sheet 4 and the lower heater 1b, which heat accumulation plate is heated by the lower heater 1b during its residence time in the preheating station. This heat accumulation plate heats a newly inserted sheet 4 even when the heating device is still in the moulding station. <IMAGE>

Description

Thermoformmaschine Thermoforming machine

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Thermoformmaschine zum Verformen von Platten aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff, mit einer Formstation, einer Vorwärmstation mit einer Halterung für die Kunststoffplatten sowie einer zwischen der Vorwärmstation und der Formstation verfahrbaren Heizung mit einer Unter- und Oberheizung.The invention relates to a thermoforming machine for deforming of sheets made of thermoplastic material, with a forming station, a preheating station with a holder for the plastic plates and one between the preheating station and the forming station movable heater with a bottom and top heater.

Bei einer bekannten Thermoformmaschine dieser Art (DE-OS 31 03 584) wird die in die Vorwärmstation eingelegte Kunststoffplatte durch die zurückgefahrene Heizung, welche auf eine geringere Heizleistung abgesenkt wird, vorgewärmt , während in der Formstation die erwärmte Kunststoffplatte verformt und entformt wird. Während des Verfahrens der Heizung in die Formstation und während der Verweilzeit der Heizung in der Formstation, um die Kunststoffplatte auf die Verformungstemperatur zu bringen, unterliegt die in die Vorwärmstation eingelegte neue Platte keinerlei Wärmeeinwirkung.In a known thermoforming machine of this type (DE-OS 31 03 584) the plastic plate inserted in the preheating station is replaced by the retracted Heating, which is reduced to a lower heating power, is preheated while the heated plastic sheet is deformed and removed from the mold in the molding station. While the process of heating in the forming station and during the dwell time of the heating in the forming station to bring the plastic sheet to the forming temperature, the new plate placed in the preheating station is not subject to any heat.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Vorwärmung der Kunststoffplatten zu verbessern und die Taktzeit der Maschine zu verkürzen.The object of the invention is to preheat the plastic sheets to improve and to shorten the cycle time of the machine.

Diese Aufgabe wird ausgehend von einer Thermoformmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs dadurch gelöst, daß in der Vorwärmstation eine Wärmespeicherplatte vorgesehen ist, die sich zwischen der Halterung für die Kunststoffplatte und der Unterheizung in ihrer in die Vorwärmstation zurückgezogenen Stellung befindet.This task is based on a thermoforming machine according to the The preamble of the claim is achieved in that a heat storage plate is used in the preheating station is provided, which is between the holder for the plastic plate and the Underheater is in its retracted position in the preheating station.

Durch diese Maßnahme ist zu jedem Zeitpunkt eine Wärmeabgabe an die eingelegte Kunststoffplatte möglich, da die Wärmespeicherplatte so viel Wärme während der Verweilzeit der Heizung in der Vorwärmstation aufnimmt, daß sie genügend Wärme an die neu eingelegte Kunststoffplatte während derjenigen Zeitspanne abgeben kann, in der sich die Heizung in der Formstation zur Aufheizung der Kunststoffplatte auf Verformungstemperatur befindet. Die Kunststoffplatte wird also zu Beginn des Einlegevorganges zunächst von der Wärmespeicherplatte, über der sich die neu eingelegte Kunststoffplatte befindet, erwärmt, worauf der Vorwärmvorgang durch die zurückgefahrene Heizung verstärkt wird, und zwar In dem Zeitraum, in welchem die Verformung und Entformung in der Formstation der vorher erwärmten Kunststoffplatte abläuft. Durch die Vorwärmung der Kunststoffplatte mittels Wärmespeicherplatte wird der Vorwärmvorgang beschleunigt und die Restwärme der in der Vorwärmstation befindlichen Heizung besser ausgenutzt, so daß die eingesetzte Heizleistung besser genutzt und damit die Heizkasten gesenkt werden. Außerdem kann durch die Verbesserung des Vorwärmvorganges die Taktzeit der Maschine verkürzt werden.Through this measure, heat is released to the at any point in time Inserted plastic plate possible because the heat storage plate so much heat during the residence time of the heater in the preheating station absorbs that it has enough heat to the newly inserted plastic plate during the period of time in which the heating in the molding station is used to heat the plastic plate Deformation temperature is located. The plastic plate is so at the beginning of the insertion process first of all from the heat storage plate, over which the newly inserted plastic plate is located is located, heated, whereupon the preheating process intensified by the lowered heating is, namely in the period in which the deformation and demolding in the Forming station of the previously heated plastic sheet expires. By preheating The preheating process is accelerated by means of the plastic plate by means of the heat storage plate and the residual heat of the heating in the preheating station is better used, so that the heating power used is better used and thus the heating box is lowered will. In addition, by improving the preheating process, the cycle time of the Machine can be shortened.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert, deren einzige Figur ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer Thermoformmaschine zeigt.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, the single figure of which shows an embodiment of a thermoforming machine.

Bei der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Thermoformmaschine befindet sich eine Heizvorrichtung la, lb in einer Vorwärmstation 5 außerhalb einer Formstation 2, in die die Heizvorrichtung gleichzeitig mit einer zu formenden Platte 4 einfahrbar ist. Zum Einfahren der Platte 4 dient eine Transportvorrichtung 3.Located in the thermoforming machine shown in the drawing a heating device la, lb in a preheating station 5 outside of a molding station 2, into which the heating device can be moved at the same time as a plate 4 to be shaped is. A transport device 3 is used to retract the plate 4.

Von einer Abstapelstation 6 gelangt die zu formende Platte 4 mittels der Transportvorrichtung 3 in die Vorwärmstation 5. Nach dem Vorheizen der Platte 4 in der Vorwärmstation 5 wird diese mittels der automatischen -Transportvorrichtung 3 in die Formstation 2 eingeführt, wo sie mit Hilfe der mit in die Formstation 2 hineinbewegten Heizvorrichtung la,lb, von oben und unten aufgeheizt und dabei auf die erforderliche Verformungstemperatur gebracht wird. Danach wird die Heizvorrichtung la, lb wieder in die Vorwärmstation 5 zurückgeführt, während die zu formende Platte 4 mittels eines Formwerkzeuges 9 in die gewünschte Form gebracht wird. Während des Formvorganges wird durch die Heizvorrichtung la, lb bereits eine neu eingelegte Platte 4 vorgewärmt, so daß der Arbeitszyklus von neuem beginnen kann.From a stacking station 6, the plate 4 to be shaped arrives by means of the transport device 3 in the preheating station 5. After preheating the plate 4 in the preheating station 5 this is carried out by means of the automatic transport device 3 is introduced into the forming station 2, where it can be moved into the forming station 2 with the aid of the moving heater la, lb, heated from above and below and thereby on the required deformation temperature is brought. After that, the heater la, lb returned to the preheating station 5, while the plate to be formed 4 is brought into the desired shape by means of a molding tool 9. During the The molding process is already a newly inserted one by the heating device la, lb Plate 4 preheated so that the work cycle can begin again.

Zwischen der aufzuheizenden Platte 4 , die auf einer Halterung 7 aufruht, und der Unterheizung lb ist eine Wärmespeicherplatte 8 eingesetzt, die fest in der Vorwärmstation eingebaut ist. Diese Wärmespeicherplatte 7 wird durch die Unterheizung lb in ihrer in die Vorwärmstation 5 zurückgezogenen Stellung aufgeheizt und gibt die gespeicherte Wärme an die neu eingelegte Platte ab, wodurch diese bereits schon dann erwärmt wird, wenn die Heizung la, lb zusammen mit der vorgewärmten Platte 4 in die Formstation 2 eingefahren und die neue Platte eingelegt wird.Between the plate 4 to be heated, which rests on a holder 7, and the lower heater lb a heat storage plate 8 is used, which is fixed in the Preheating station is installed. This heat storage plate 7 is through the underheating lb heated in their retracted position in the preheating station 5 and gives the stored heat is transferred to the newly inserted plate, which already causes it is then heated when the heater la, lb together with the preheated plate 4 is moved into the forming station 2 and the new plate is inserted.

In der Vorwärmstation 5 ist also ständig eine Wärmequelle in Form der Wärmespeicherplatte 8 vorhanden, die durch die Heizung la, lb in ihrer Stellung in der Vorwärmstation 5 ergänzt wird, die in dieser Stellung auf eine niedrigere Heizleistung zurückgeschalten werden kann, weil die Wärmespeicherplatte wegen ihrer Speicherwirkung eine bessere Nutzung der vorhandenen Heizleistung ergibt.In the preheating station 5 there is always a heat source in the form the heat storage plate 8 present, which by the heater la, lb in their position is supplemented in the preheating station 5, which is in this position on a lower heating output can be switched back because the heat storage plate because of its storage effect, it makes better use of the available heating power.
