Abstract
A molding system includes a frame device, a scooping device, a demolding device, a cutting device, an inspection device, a packaging device, and a conveying device. The frame device defines a scooping zone, a hot pressing zone, a cutting zone, an inspection zone, and a packaging zone. The scooping device includes a pulp tank that is adapted to contain a slurry, and a scooping mold that is adapted to scoop the slurry such that the slurry forms a blank unit thereon. The cutting device is adapted to cut the blank unit into a plurality of blank bodies. The conveying device is adapted to convey the blank bodies from the cutting zone to the packaging zone through the inspection zone.
Claims29
A molding system adapted for use with a slurry, said molding system comprising:
- a frame device defining a scooping zone, a hot pressing zone, a cutting zone, an inspection zone and a packaging zone;
- a scooping device disposed at said scooping zone and including a pulp tank that is adapted to contain the slurry, and a scooping mold that is adapted to scoop the slurry such that the slurry forms a blank unit thereon;
- a demolding device including
- a first mold that is operable to move back and forth between said scooping zone and said hot pressing zone,
- a hot pressing mold that is disposed at said hot pressing zone, and
- a second mold that is disposed at a boundary between said hot pressing zone and said cutting zone, said first mold being adapted to suck the blank unit so that the blank unit is demolded from said scooping mold, being adapted to convey the blank unit from said scooping mold to said hot pressing mold such that the blank unit is heated and compressed between said first mold and said hot pressing mold to form in a shape of said first mold, and being adapted to convey the blank unit from said hot pressing mold to said second mold, one of said first mold and said second mold being operable to move relative to the other one of said first mold and said second mold, when the one of said first mold and said second mold moving away from the other one of said first mold and said second mold, said first mold being operable to generate an airflow to push the blank unit away and said second mold being adapted to suck the blank unit so that the blank unit is demolded from said first mold;
- a cutting device disposed at said cutting zone and adapted to cut the blank unit into a plurality of blank bodies;
- an inspection device disposed at said inspection zone and adapted to inspect each of the blank bodies so as to generate at least one inspection datum accordingly;
- a packaging device disposed at said packaging zone and adapted to wrap the blank bodies in a packaging bag;
- and
- a conveying device disposed at said frame device and adapted to convey the blank bodies from said cutting zone to said packaging zone through said inspection zone.
