Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cup heat printing machine technology, and in particular to a cup heat printing machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the times and to cater to consumers' aesthetic needs, various patterns are baked onto the surface of cups. A cup heat printing machine is generally needed in the process of baking patterns. Most electric cup heat printing machines on the market use a motor-driven push rod to tighten the notch in the cup cavity. Because this method usually only has one push rod, the force is concentrated, making it difficult to ensure even force on one side of the notch in the cup cavity. Therefore, the cup must be placed perfectly aligned in the cup cavity, making operation cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention provides a cup heat printing machine to solve the problem that electric cup heat printing machines generally have only one push rod, resulting in a concentrated force point, making it difficult to ensure that the force is evenly distributed on one side of the cup placement cavity, and requiring the cup to be placed in the cup placement cavity with perfect alignment, which is cumbersome to operate.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] In one embodiment, the two racks are spaced apart, and the two gears are disposed between the two racks.

[0011] In one embodiment, one of the body and the rack is provided with a groove, and the other is provided with a slider, the slider being able to move within the groove, so that the rack can move relative to the body.

[0012] In one embodiment, at least one guide assembly is fixed to the main body. The guide assembly includes a bearing seat and a guide rod. The bearing seat is fixed to the main body, and the guide rod passes through the bearing seat. One end of the guide rod is fixed to the connecting frame.

[0013] In one embodiment, the number of guide components is set to two, and the two guide components are respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the main body.

[0014] In one embodiment, one of the main body and the heating pad is provided with a slide rail, and the other is provided with a guide bar. The guide bar is slidably disposed on the slide rail so that the heating pad can slide relative to the main body and be attached to and detached from the main body.

[0015] In one embodiment, the guide bar includes a first part, a middle part, and a second part connected in sequence, the first part being embedded in the slide rail, the second part being connected to the heating pad, and the middle part being connected to the first part and the second part.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] Please refer to the following first. Figure 1 The present invention provides a cup heat printing machine 10, which is used to print various patterns on the surface of cups to meet consumers' aesthetic needs and increase the selling price.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cup heat printing machine 10 includes a main body 100, a clamping drive device 400, and a heating pad 200. The heating pad 200 is provided with a cup-holding cavity 210 for accommodating cups. The clamping drive device 400 is mounted on the main body 100. The clamping drive device 400 drives the heating pad 200 to move, which will make the opening of the cup-holding cavity 210 smaller, thereby pressing the cup located in the cup-holding cavity 210. After a period of time, the printing can be completed.

[0032] refer to Figure 2 The clamping drive device 400 includes a connecting frame 410, a drive motor 420, and a drive assembly 430. The drive assembly 430 includes a gear 431 and a rack 432. The gear 431 is fixed on the motor shaft 421 of the drive motor 420. The gear 431 meshes with the rack 432. The other end of the rack 432 is connected to the connecting frame 410.

[0033] refer to Figure 2 It should be noted that the heating pad 200 is connected to the connecting bracket 410.

[0034] In summary, in this application, the cup heat printing machine 10 includes a main body 100, a clamping drive device 400, and a heating pad 200. The clamping drive device 400 includes a connecting frame 410, a drive motor 420, and a drive assembly 430. The drive assembly 430 includes a gear 431 and a rack 432. The gear 431 is fixed on the motor shaft 421 of the drive motor 420, and the gear 431 meshes with the rack 432. The other end of the rack 432 is connected to the connecting frame 410. The drive motor 420 drives the gear 431 to rotate, which in turn drives the rack 432 to push the connecting frame 410, thus transmitting force. This allows all positions of the connecting frame 410 to be subjected to force, and the force is relatively uniform. No matter where the cup is placed in the cup cavity 210, the printing can be completed well, and the printing effect is good.

[0035] refer to Figure 2 The system comprises two gears 431 and two racks 432. The two gears 431 mesh with each other. One gear 431 is fixed to the motor shaft 421 of the drive motor 420. The main body 100 is provided with a shaft 140, and the other gear 431 is fixed to the shaft 140. The gear 431 meshes with the rack 432. When the drive motor 420 operates, it drives one of the gears 431 to rotate. Because the two gears 431 mesh with each other, they rotate synchronously. Since the gear 431 meshes with the rack 432, and the other end of the rack 432 is fixed to the connecting frame 410, when the gear 431 rotates, the rack 432 oscillates, driving the connecting frame 410 to move. Since one end of the heating pad 200 is fixed to the connecting frame 410 and the other end is fixed to the main body 100, when the connecting frame 410 moves, the opening of the cup cavity 210 will become smaller, thereby pressing the cup located in the cup cavity 210. After a period of time, the baking and printing can be completed.

[0036] refer to Figure 2 Two racks 432 are spaced apart, and two gears 431 are disposed between the two racks 432.

[0037] refer to Figure 2 One of the main body 100 and the rack 432 is provided with a groove 433, and the other is provided with a slider 160, for example... Figure 2 The diagram illustrates that the main body 100 is equipped with a slider 160, and the rack 432 is equipped with a groove 433. The slider 160 can move within the groove 433, allowing the rack 432 to move relative to the main body 100. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the positions of the groove 433 and the slider 160 can be reversed. It is understood that the groove 433 and the slider 160 can also be omitted; any design that allows the rack 432 to move relative to the main body 100 should be protected.

[0038] refer to Figure 2At least one guide assembly 170 is fixed on the main body 100. The guide assembly 170 includes a bearing 171 and a guide rod 172. The bearing 171 is fixed to the main body 100, and the guide rod 172 passes through the bearing 171. One end of the guide rod 172 is fixed to the connecting frame 410. The guide rod 172 extends along the width direction of the main body 100. Since one end of the guide rod 172 is fixed to the connecting frame 410, when the connecting frame 410 is driven to move backward, the guide rod 172 will also move backward synchronously. Because the guide rod 172 passes through the bearing 171, the displacement direction of the guide rod 172 is fixed, thereby guiding the displacement direction of the connecting frame 410. When the connecting frame 410 also moves along the width direction of the main body 100, it can effectively prevent the connecting frame 410 from deviating in direction during movement. It is understandable that, without considering the possibility of the connecting frame 410 shifting direction during movement, the guide component 170 may not be required. Any solution that allows the connecting frame 410 to move relative to the main body 100 should be protected.

[0039] refer to Figure 2 It should be noted that the number of guide components 170 is set to two, and the two guide components 170 are respectively set on the left and right sides of the main body 100.

[0040] It should be noted that one end of the two racks 432 is fixed to the connecting frame 410, and one end of the two guide rods 172 is also fixed to the connecting frame 410. When the two racks 432 are driven to push the connecting frame 410, the guide rods 172 can make all positions on the connecting frame 410 bear force, and the force is relatively uniform, resulting in a good heating effect. That is, the cup can be placed at any position in the cup cavity 210 in the left and right directions.

[0041] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 One of the main body 100 and the heating pad 200 is provided with a slide rail 110, and the other is provided with a guide strip 220, for example... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The diagram illustrates that the main body 100 is equipped with a slide rail 110, and the heating pad 200 is equipped with a guide strip 220. The guide strip 220 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 110, allowing the heating pad 200 to slide relative to the main body 100 and be detached from it. This allows the heating pad 200 to be removed and replaced when its lifespan ends and its heating effect deteriorates, eliminating the need for a complete machine replacement and reducing replacement costs. It is understandable that, if the removal and replacement of the heating pad 200 is not considered, the slide rail 110 and guide strip 220 may be omitted; any design in the cup heat printing machine 10 that includes the heating pad 200 should be protected.

[0042] refer to Figure 3It should be noted that the guide bar 220 includes a first part 221, a middle part 222, and a second part 223 connected in sequence. The first part 221 is embedded in the slide rail 110, the second part 223 is connected to the heating pad 200, and the middle part 222 is connected to the first part 221 and the second part 223.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The cup heat printing machine 10 includes a control motherboard 300 and an integrated circuit board. The control motherboard 300 is disposed on the surface of the main body 100, and the integrated circuit board is installed inside the main body 100. The control motherboard 300 is electrically connected to the clamping drive device 400, the heating pad 200, and the integrated circuit board. By setting up the control motherboard 300 and the integrated circuit board, the user can drive the clamping drive device 400 to move and drive the heating pad 200 to heat by pressing the control motherboard 300. The cup heat printing machine 10 can realize automatic heat printing and is easy to operate.

[0044] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 It should be noted that the main body 100 is equipped with a power interface 150, and the bottom of the main body 100 is equipped with an anti-slip pad.

[0045] Although the invention has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terminology used is illustrative and exemplary, and not restrictive. Since the invention can be embodied in many forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the invention, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims.
