Abstract

Equipment for thermoforming plastic films has a radiation-heated mould at one station, applies the film to the mould tool at another station, and removes the moulded film from the cooled tool at a third station; the back of the film, however, is smoothed with a cap fitted with a heater after the film has been fused on the heated mould tool; the heater is a hot air type with a heated air holder and bores for fresh and/or surrounding air. More specifically, the bores in the smoothing cap are near to its surface and they produce a more uniform heat distribution than radiation heaters. Moreover the system reduces weight. The moulding tool is normally rotated several times near to the smoothing cap and this has the disadvantage of risk of dirtying the film; moreover a radiation heater might be damaged. The heat store can be heated up while the smoothing device is stationary. The fan for the hot air can be driven by a battery. The air bores can be used for cooling as well as heating. This arrangement saves energy. ADVANTAGE - The heating system is efficient (and more so than in existing equipment of this kind).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Kunststoff-Formfolien mit einem Formwerkzeug, das in einer Heizstation durch Strahlung erwärmt, in einer Be­ schickungsstation mit auf der Formoberfläche des Form­ werkzeugs aufschmelzbarem Kunststoff beschichtet und in einer Entformstation von der auf der Formoberfläche des abgekühlten Formwerkzeuges gebildeten Kunststoff-Formfo­ lie getrennt wird, wobei die Rückseite der Kunststoff- Formfolie nach deren Aufschmelzen auf der Formoberfläche durch Wärmebehandlung mittels einer eine Heizeinrichtung aufweisenden Nachglätthaube nachgeglättet wird. Eine der­ artige Vorrichtung ist aus der europäischen Patentanmel­ dung 03 34 074 oder 03 34 073 bekannt. Dort ist die Heiz­ einrichtung der Nachglätthaube als Strahlungsheizung aus­ gebildet.The invention relates to a device for manufacturing of plastic molded films with a molding tool that is in a heating station heated by radiation, in a loading loading station with on the mold surface of the mold tool meltable plastic coated and in a demolding station from that on the mold surface of the cooled mold formed plastic mold lie is separated, the back of the plastic Shaped film after it has melted on the mold surface by heat treatment by means of a heater having the post-smoothing hood is smoothed. One of the like device is from the European patent application dung 03 34 074 or 03 34 073 known. The heating is there set up the post-smoothing hood as radiant heating educated.

Im Bereich dieser Nachglättstation erfolgt eine mehrfache Rotation des Formwerkzeuges inklusive aufliegender Nach­ glätthaube, um das in der Beschickungsstation einge­ brachte Kunststoffmaterial optimal über der Formwerkzeug- Oberfläche zu verteilen. Die in der Nachglätthaube ange­ ordneten Strahler stellen somit eine nicht zu vernachläs­ sigende Unwuchtquelle dar. Darüber hinaus ist es erfor­ derlich, während dieser Rotationsbewegung den Strahlern kontinuierlilch Energie zuzuführen, was lediglich mit er­ schwertem technischen Aufwand möglich ist. Eine demgegen­ über verbesserte Heizeinrichtung aufzuzeigen, ist daher die Aufgabe der Erfindung.A multiple takes place in the area of this post-smoothing station Rotation of the mold including overlying smoothing hood to put it in the loading station brought plastic material optimally over the mold Distribute surface. The in the post-smoothing hood ordered spotlights therefore do not neglect one is a source of unbalance  the radiators during this rotational movement to continuously supply energy, which is only with it difficult technical effort is possible. One against it To show about improved heating is therefore the object of the invention.

Es wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Heizeinrichtung der Nach­ glätthaube als Warmluftheizung mit einem Wärmespeicher und Frischluft- und/oder Umluftkanälen ausgebildet ist. Die Luftkanäle verlaufen dabei vorzugsweise nahe der Oberfläche innerhalb der Nachglätthaube. Hierdurch er­ folgt zum einen eine gegenüber einer Strahlerheizung gleichmäßigere Wärmeverteilung über der gesamten Oberflä­ che der Kunststoff-Formfolie. Zum anderen kann eine Ge­ wichtsreduktion erzielt werden. Auch besteht keine Ge­ fahr, daß die Strahler während der Rotationsbewegung ver­ schmutzt oder zerstört werden könnten. Schließlich ist es aufgrund des Wärmespeichers, der - wie Anspruch 2 be­ schreibt - an eine Energiequelle an- bzw. abkoppelbar ist, nicht mehr erforderlich, während der Ro­ tationsbewegung Energie zuzuführen. Vielmehr kann die Aufheizung des Wärmespeichers in den Stillstandszeiten der Nachglätthaube erfolgen. Zur Energieversorgung des für die Funktion der Warmluftheizung erforderlichen Ge­ bläses kann dabei in der Nachglätthaube eine Batterie vorgesehen sein.It is proposed that the heater of the night smooth hood as warm air heating with a heat accumulator and fresh air and / or recirculated air channels is formed. The air channels preferably run close to the Surface inside the smoothing hood. This way he on the one hand follows a radiator heater more even heat distribution over the entire surface surface of the plastic molded film. On the other hand, a Ge weight reduction can be achieved. There is also no Ge drive that the spotlights ver during the rotational movement dirty or destroyed. After all it is due to the heat accumulator, which - as claim 2 be writes - can be connected or disconnected to an energy source is no longer required during the ro tion movement to supply energy. Rather, the Heating of the heat accumulator during downtimes the smoothing hood. To power the Ge required for the function of hot air heating A battery can blow in the post-smoothing hood be provided.

Vorteilhafterweise erhöht die Gestaltung der Heizung als Warmluftheizung mit einem Wärmespeicher sowie Heizkanälen den Heizungs-Wirkungsgrad. Vorteilhafterweise können die Luftkanäle ferner dazu genutzt werden, vor Erreichen der Entformstation das Formwerkzeug auf einfache Weise abzu­ kühlen. Somit wird durch diese Maßnahme das während des Fertigungsprozesses von Kunststoff-Formfolien benötigte Energiepotential in optimaler Weise ausgenutzt.Advantageously, the design of the heater increases Warm air heating with a heat storage and heating channels the heating efficiency. Advantageously, the Air ducts are also used before reaching the Demolding station the mold off in a simple manner cool. Thus, this measure means that during the Manufacturing process of plastic molded films required Energy potential exploited in an optimal way.
