Definitions

  • the invention relates to a thermoforming process for a deep drawing process for producing a first shell and a molding tool for carrying out the method.

  • a non-generic, as produced by injection molding container discloses the US 5,638,976 , The injection molding process has the advantage that the containers can be produced with a large variety of variants in terms of their geometry. The disadvantage of this manufacturing method lies in the comparatively high unit costs in the production.
  • the containers are usually disposed of after the consumption of the contents, only particularly inexpensive to be manufactured containers for this purpose in question, which can be produced from a thermoplastic material by deep-drawing.
  • a manufactured from a thermoformed plastic material container with two halves screwed against each other is in the US 3,322,262 and US 5,542,532 described.
  • the first half is provided with an external thread and the second half with an internal thread.
  • This structural design with two complementary matched threads is manufacturing technology but expensive to manufacture.
  • the tightness of the screwed together container is realized solely on the threaded connection, which leads to significant unevenness in the unavoidable manufacturing tolerances during deep drawing. This is particularly unacceptable when packaging food.
  • a deep-drawing method for making a cup with a thread and a one-piece mold therefor are known DE 10230001 .

  • the method according to the invention is exclusively the shaping process for creating a shell with a thread located thereon, for example a cover shell.
  • the film is preferably acted upon from its upper side with compressed air and nestles against the mold.
  • the shell is formed with the threads.
  • the threaded sleeve is spindled.
  • a process understood similar to a nut and a screw wherein the nut is the first shell and the screw is the threaded sleeve.
  • the shell is held during the unwinding of the holding sleeve and / or of the film.
  • it is possible to fix the first shell exclusively on the film during unwinding, thereby preventing the shell from rotating with the threaded shell.
  • this is particularly problematic for switches or thin materials, since the film can not absorb the forces occurring during unscrewing and it comes to deformation of the first shell. For this reason, it is advantageous to counter the first shell at least additionally with the retaining sleeve.
  • the shell can be stripped off the retaining sleeve together with the film.
  • the film impressed with the first shells is fed to another conventional punching machine and the shells are cut out of the film.
  • a qualitatively even more precise concentric shaping can be achieved if the shell is already punched out of the film on the molding tool before the threaded sleeve is unwound.
  • the first shell since it is already released from the film composite prior to unwinding, be fixed exclusively on the retaining sleeve against rotation with the threaded sleeve.
  • the holding sleeve is provided with a geometric structure which is formed after the forming process complementary in the first shell and allows a positive power transmission.
  • the first shell is completely dissolved out of the film, it is a form cutting process.
  • the subtask is achieved by a molding tool for producing a first shell with a stationary retaining sleeve and a sleeve rotatable in the circumferential direction from a starting position to an end position threaded sleeve, wherein in the threaded sleeve contours for forming at least two threads are formed.
  • An inner punch is advantageously arranged centrally within the holding sleeve.
  • the inner punch serves to shape the inner cup-shaped middle part and, in a particular embodiment, can be used alone or together with the holding sleeve in the axial direction. Be displaceable direction. Due to the displaceability, it is possible to lift the first shell relative to the mold after removal of the threaded sleeve and transported away.
  • the threaded sleeve is arranged concentrically around the holding sleeve, so that when unwinding the threaded sleeve rotates symmetrically about the holding sleeve.
  • the retaining sleeve should be inside and the threaded sleeve outside.
  • the retaining sleeve has a sloping wall portion, in which retaining ribs are arranged.
  • the retaining ribs can be aligned in the axial or radial direction of the retaining sleeve.
  • the retaining ribs should be as perpendicular as possible to the direction of rotation of the threaded sleeve, so that one of the pivoting movement the threaded sleeve on the shell acting torque is absorbed by the retaining ribs.
  • a holding device is arranged around the threaded sleeve, with which the film can be clamped outside of the mold and thereby fixed.
  • the holding device may comprise, for example, a fixed punching counter and a lowerable holding plate.
  • a holding and punching device may be arranged circumferentially around the threaded sleeve.
  • the mold cutting can be carried out particularly advantageously with a holding and punching device comprising a stripper plate, a lowerable knife plate and a threaded sleeve surrounding the concentric fixed knife sleeve, wherein the stripper plate and the knife plate are moved vertically.
  • a holding and punching device comprising a stripper plate, a lowerable knife plate and a threaded sleeve surrounding the concentric fixed knife sleeve, wherein the stripper plate and the knife plate are moved vertically.
  • the knife sleeve between the threaded sleeve and the stripper plate is arranged.
  • the film With the help of the lowerable knife plate, the film, after it has moved over the mold, clamped between the blade plate. Following the forming process and after unwinding the threaded sleeve, the latter is moved upwards, thereby shearing off the film with the knife plate.
  • the knife sleeve protrudes slightly relative to the stripper plate during the process of the film, so that a step forms in the film in the transition of the stripper plate to the knife sleeve, which serves for sealing during the shaping process.
  • the holding and punching device may comprise a fixed punching counter, a lowerable holding plate and a lowerable on the punch counter strip steel blade.
  • the steel strip knife is a steel strip which has been sharpened on one or both sides and which is annularly closed in the circumferential direction and is formed on its sharpened underside with recesses for remaining webs remaining.

  • vent holes are arranged in the retaining sleeve.
  • the mold is pressurized from above with compressed air, so that the film conforms to the forming tool and assumes a shell shape. This nestling is supported by the vent holes. It is also possible to connect to the vent holes a vacuum line and suck the film to the forming tool.

  • the mold 20 is surrounded by the holding and supporting device 43, a fixed punching counterpart 41, a retractable retaining plate 42 and a guided on the holding plate 42 strip steel blade 46 comprises.
  • a first process step is accordingly Figure 14a the film 23 moved over the mold 20 and fixed around the mold 20, in which the holding plate 42 is lowered and thereby the lying on the punching counterpart 41 film 23 is clamped.
  • FIG. 14c illustrated process step includes lowering the strip steel blade 46 on the film 23, whereby the cover shell 1 is removed from the sheet 23 circumferentially.
  • the strip steel blade 46 is formed on its underside at discrete intervals with recesses, so that the cover shell 1 remains connected via residual webs 38 with the film 23. These residual webs 38 break out in a controlled manner in subsequent stacking processes.
  • the holding plate 42 is raised and the inner punch 39 together with the holding sleeve 21 down to a uniform level of punching counter 41 and lowered threaded sleeve 22 method ( Figure 14d ). In this position, the film 23 can be removed together with the cover shell 1 in a simple manner horizontally from the mold 20 and the holding and punching device 43.
