- Paper cups and bowls are disposable consumables ubiquitous in our daily lives.
- the manufacturers considering costs of manufacturing materials and requests for distinct products have created various methods to manufacture these disposable consumables.
- a manufacturer should deposit paper pulp to a certain thickness for molding.
- paper products are extruded from a thicker layer of deposited paper pulp in a conventional manufacturing process which aims at manufacturing thinner paper cups or bowls, it is quite often to see the appearance of convex edges or irregular surface wrinkles of the paper products. These disfigures the aesthetic exteriors or structural strength of those paper products.
- pulp molding also known as the pulp die molding method
- pulp die molding method an appropriate manufacturing process based on pulp molding (also known as the pulp die molding method) developed recently is applicable to paper products with a certain thickness.
- the inside embossed or barb-like patterns which contribute to securing the combination of a cup lid and a paper cup are mostly disposed on the rim and/or the snap-fit section of an ordinary pulp-molded cup lid and shaped on a formed lid in a secondary local roll-extrusion process.
- an integrated pulp-molded lid provided in the present disclosure reduces manufacturing time and costs.
- the pulp-molded lid comprises a central section and a rim section which encircles the central section, accommodates an upper wall edge of an external container coupled with the pulp-molded lid, and clamps the wall edge of the external container.
- the rim section comprises a snap-fit section, which is downwardly connected with the upper wall edge of the external container, manufactured with the central section as well as the rim section integrally, and further coupled with a protrusion encircling the external container for a firm combination of the pulp-molded lid and the external container when the rim section clamps the upper wall edge of the external container.
- the present disclosure provides a molding device of a pulp-molded lid which comprises a first lid molding die and a second lid molding die:
- the first lid molding die comprises a first molding unit with a center molding part for shaping of the corresponding central section of the pulp-molded lid and a rim molding part for shaping of the corresponding rim section of the pulp-molded lid;

- the strainer 226 lowered into a pulp tank makes paper pulp subside in a first lid pulp-sucking and molding die 22 A as no pulp fibers migrate across the strainer 26 and each of the pore channels 2204 from which external air is drawn provides suction to absorb pulp fibers, draining excessive water without jams of the pore channels 2204 and shaping a raw pulp-molded lid 1 inside the first lid pulp-sucking and molding die 22 A. Furthermore, a plurality of pore channels 2021 are opened on the second molding unit 200 of the second lid molding die 20 for development of a second lid pulp-sucking and molding die 20 A.
- each of the pore channels 2021 is further opened on an outer edge of the second molding unit 200 and opposite to the center molding part 2201 as well as the rim molding part 2202 of the first molding unit 220 .
- the second lid pulp-sucking and molding die 20 A and the first lid pulp-sucking and molding die 22 A are coupled with each other for supply of suction induced by outward exhaled air to the pore channels 2021 through which a raw pulp-molded lid is sucked by the second lid pulp-sucking and molding die 20 A from the first lid pulp-sucking and molding die 22 A.
- a first lid heating and molding die which is heated directly or via thermal conduction to increase temperature of the first molding unit 220 inside and dry paper pulp

As shown in FIG.
- the snap-fit section 14 of the pulp-molded lid 1 which was separated from the first lid pulp-sucking and molding die 22 A and deformed partially, is slightly reconstituted and overall matches the profile of the snap-fit molding part 2203 as appropriate but possibly leaves some distinct squeezed and deformed or truncated parts which have no adverse effect on a pulp-molded lid with a manufacturing process corrected for better fastening strength between the snap-fit section 14 and a convex part of an external container 3 .
- FIG. 8 which illustrates a flow diagram for a manufacturing process of using a molding device of a pulp-molded lid to shape a pulp-molded lid according to steps as follows:
- Step S 801 the first molding unit is covered with pulp slurry when the first lid pulp-sucking and molding die is immersed in pulp slurry.
- Step S 802 the first lid pulp-sucking and molding die is removed from pulp slurry and excessive water, which is included in pulp slurry deposited on the first molding unit and unused in a manufacturing process, is drained from the pore channels and the strainer.
- Step S 803 the second lid pulp-sucking and molding die is driven to fit into the first lid pulp-sucking and molding die so that a raw lid featuring a profile similar to that of a desired pulp-molded lid is shaped with dehydrated paper pulp adhered to and matching the strainer on the first molding unit.
- Step S 804 the raw lid is sucked by the second lid pulp-sucking and molding die through the pore channels for separation from the first lid pulp-sucking and molding die in a de-molding process.
- Step S 805 the raw lid is held in the first lid heating and molding die with which the second lid pulp-sucking and molding die is coupled.
- Step S 806 the second lid heating and molding die is driven to fit into the first lid heating and molding die completely for sealing the raw lid between the first and second lid heating and molding dies.
- Step S 807 the raw lid is heated and dried by the first lid heating and molding die as well as the second lid heating and molding die and totally dehydrated for shaping of the pulp-molded lid.
- Step S 808 the pulp-molded lid is sucked by the second lid heating and molding die for separation.
- a pulp-molded lid is shaped.
- the profile of a first molding unit (a second molding unit) in a lid pulp-sucking and molding die is exchanged to the profile of a second molding unit (a first molding unit).
- a molding unit to shape an exterior profile of a pulp-molded lid is first immersed in pulp slurry and driven to fit into another molding unit which is used to shape an interior profile of a snap-fit section on the pulp-molded lid, a pulp-molded lid featuring an identical profile can be created with two dies at reversed positions.
- a pulp-molded lid and a molding device thereof for once-and-for-all die molding of a snap-fit section in the patent application which are innovative work in technical ideas and features several effects in contrast to conventional molded lids, meets novelty and non-obviousness for patentability.
