Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of garment processing equipment technology, and in particular to a seven-station fully automatic heat press machine with visual positioning and auxiliary projection functions. Background Technology
[0002] Heat transfer printing is a process that transfers designs onto the surface of fabric using heat pressing. It is widely used in clothing customization, advertising shirt printing, and gift customization.
[0003] In actual production, the operation process of a manual heat press machine is generally as follows: the operator first lays the garment flat on the base plate by hand, then places the transfer film on the garment, manually presses down the heating plate to complete the heat pressing, manually peels off the transfer film after heat pressing, and finally removes the finished garment. This processing method, which is mainly based on manual operation, has the following obvious drawbacks: 1. Low production efficiency. Production activities involving a large amount of manual labor, such as manual heat pressing, film tearing, peeling, and collection of garments, as well as labor fatigue, affect production speed.
[0004] 2. Poor positioning accuracy of the transfer film. The transfer film needs to be accurately placed on the designated heat transfer area of the garment. Manual placement relies entirely on the operator's experience, which can easily lead to problems such as positional deviation and angle deviation, causing the heat transfer pattern to deviate from the design position and increasing the product defect rate.
[0005] 3. Low level of automation: Existing heat transfer equipment is semi-automatic and cannot achieve a fully automated production process for garment heat transfer.
[0006] Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The technical problem solved by the present invention is to address the deficiencies in the prior art by providing a seven-station fully automatic heat press machine with visual positioning and auxiliary projection functions, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0012] Furthermore, the hot pressing device includes a second housing disposed on the mounting platform, a third telescopic member disposed within the second housing, and a first hot pressing plate disposed on the telescopic end of the third telescopic member; wherein, the third telescopic member drives the first hot pressing plate to hot press the garment on which the transfer film is placed.
[0013] Furthermore, the visual film-tearing device includes a box for containing transfer film waste, a second horizontal linear module mounted on the box, a third horizontal linear module mounted on the second horizontal linear module, a fourth telescopic member mounted on the third horizontal linear module, a peeling assembly disposed on the telescopic end of the fourth telescopic member, a mounting arm disposed on the mounting platform, a fifth telescopic member disposed on the mounting arm, a clamping member disposed on the telescopic end of the fifth telescopic member, a support frame disposed above the third horizontal linear module, and a visual camera disposed on the support frame; wherein, the fifth telescopic member drives the clamping member to press the garment on the base plate, the third horizontal linear module drives the peeling assembly to a preset position, the fourth telescopic member drives the peeling assembly to clamp the transfer film, and the second horizontal linear module drives the peeling assembly to peel the transfer film off the garment.
[0014] Furthermore, the peeling assembly includes a sixth telescopic member, a fixing block disposed at the lower part of the sixth telescopic member, and a clamping block disposed at the telescopic end of the sixth telescopic member; wherein, the lower end of the clamping block that contacts the fixing block is shovel-shaped, and the sixth telescopic member drives the clamping block to clamp the transfer film to the clamping block.
[0015] Furthermore, the repressing device includes a third housing disposed on the mounting platform, a seventh telescopic member disposed within the third housing, and a second hot pressing plate disposed on the seventh telescopic member; wherein, the seventh telescopic member drives the second hot pressing plate to move longitudinally to hot press the garment on the peel transfer film.
[0016] Furthermore, the garment collection device includes a garment collection area located on one side of the turntable, a fourth horizontal linear motion module located above the garment collection area, a bracket located on the fourth horizontal linear motion module, and a finger cylinder mounted on the bracket; wherein the finger cylinder drives the garment clamping, and the fourth horizontal linear motion module drives the finger cylinder to move to a designated position.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: Significantly improving production efficiency and achieving fully automated continuous operation: By setting up a rotating turntable with seven workstations arranged sequentially along its circumference, combined with the coordinated control of each device by the control system, the entire process of garment heat transfer printing, from flattening, positioning and film placement, heat pressing to film removal, re-pressing, and collection, is fully automated. Each workstation can simultaneously execute different processes, forming an assembly line operation mode, completely changing the intermittent and high-intensity labor methods of traditional manual or semi-automatic equipment, and significantly improving output efficiency per unit time.
[0018] Significantly improves the placement accuracy of transfer film and reduces product defect rate: A combination of a mobile projection device and visual inspection technology is employed. First, the pattern projector accurately projects the outline of the transfer film to be placed onto the garment surface after it has been leveled, according to a preset program. Second, the suction nozzle and linear module in the mobile projection device automatically place the film based on this projected outline, achieving high-precision closed-loop positioning from visual guidance to mechanical execution. This effectively overcomes problems such as positional deviation and angle tilt caused by manual placement based on experience, greatly improving product consistency and yield.
[0019] Achieving highly reliable automated film peeling to avoid damage to garments: A vision-based film peeling device uses a vision camera to identify whether the position of the heat-pressed transfer film is correct. Once correct, the peeling component precisely clamps the transfer film, and after the garment is secured by the clamping component, the peeling action is completed by a linear module. This process is stable and reliable, ensuring the quality of the finished product.
[0020] The structure is compact and the workstations are rationally laid out: the leveling and hot-pressing devices are integrated into the mounting platform above the turntable, while the mobile projection, visual film tearing, re-pressing, and garment collection devices are rationally arranged on the outside of the turntable, forming a compact circular work area around the turntable. This layout makes full use of three-dimensional space, shortens the travel distance between various devices, helps improve the turntable's rotation cycle and overall operating efficiency, and facilitates maintenance and material management.

[0039] In view of the technical problems described in the background art, such as Figure 1-15As shown, a seven-station fully automatic heat transfer machine with visual positioning and auxiliary projection functions is provided, including: a frame 1, on which a rotatable turntable 2 is provided, and on the turntable 2 are a circular array of base plates 3, the number of base plates 3 being seven or more, the rotation angle of the turntable 2 corresponding to different processing stations; a mounting platform 4 is provided above the turntable 2; a leveling device 5, the leveling device 5 being disposed on the mounting platform 4, the leveling device 5 being used to level garments placed on the base plates 3; and a movable projection device 6, the movable projection device 6 being disposed on one side outside the turntable 2, the movable projection device 6 being used to place the transfer film on the flattened garment; the movable projection... Device 6 projects the outline onto the flattened garment according to a preset program; a hot-pressing device 7, mounted on the mounting platform 4, is used to hot-press the pattern of the transfer film onto the garment; a visual tearing device 8, located on one side outside the turntable 2, is used to identify whether the position of the transfer film on the garment is correct, and to peel the hot-pressed transfer film off the garment; a re-pressing device 9, located on one side outside the turntable 2, is used to re-press the garment after the transfer film has been peeled off; and a control system 11 is used to receive and output instructions.
[0040] This invention provides a seven-station fully automatic heat press machine with visual positioning and auxiliary projection functions.
[0041] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the seven-station fully automatic heat press machine includes a frame 1, which serves as the overall supporting foundation for the equipment. A turntable 2, rotatable around its own axis, is mounted on the frame 1. The rotation of the turntable 2 is driven by a servo motor to achieve high-precision indexing. Seven or more base plates 3 are evenly arranged in a circumferential array on the upper surface of the turntable 2, and these base plates 3 are used to support the garments to be processed. A mounting platform 4 is fixedly mounted above the turntable 2, and is connected to the frame 1 via a column. This mounting platform is used to mount processing devices that do not rotate with the turntable 2.
[0042] The rotation of turntable 2 transports base plate 3 sequentially to different processing stations. In this embodiment, it is specifically divided into seven stations: the first station is the garment loading station, where garments are manually placed; the second station is equipped with a leveling device 5 to level the garments placed on base plate 3; the third station is the projection film placement station, where a moving projection device 6 projects the outline of the transfer film to be placed onto the leveled garment, and the moving projection device 6 picks up the transfer film and moves it to the outline position; the fourth station is the hot pressing station, where a hot pressing device 7 heats and presses the pattern of the transfer film onto the garment; the fifth station is the visual tearing station, where the visual tearing station identifies whether the position of the pattern on the garment after hot pressing is correct. If incorrect, the equipment stops and an alarm is issued; if correct, the visual tearing device 8 removes the transfer film from the garment; the sixth station is the repressing station, where a repressing device 9 represses the position of the pattern on the garment after tearing; and the seventh station is the garment collection station, where a garment collection device 10 collects the repressed garments to a designated location.
[0043] like Figure 4-5 As shown, the leveling device 5 is positioned on the mounting platform 4 at the location corresponding to the second workstation. The leveling device 5 includes a first housing 12 fixed to the mounting platform 4. A first telescopic member 13 is vertically installed inside the first housing 12. The first telescopic member 13 is preferably a device with equivalent function, such as a cylinder or hydraulic cylinder. The telescopic end of the first telescopic member 13 faces downward and is fixedly connected to a flat plate 14. The bottom surface of the flat plate 14 is flat and its area is larger than the heat transfer area of the garment. When the base plate 3 after the garment is laid out rotates to the second workstation, the first telescopic member 13 drives the flat plate 14 to press down, smoothing the surface of the garment and ensuring the flatness for subsequent projection and placement of the transfer film.
[0044] like Figure 6As shown, the mobile projection device 6 is located on one side outside the turntable 2, corresponding to the third workstation. The mobile projection device 6 includes a placement area 15, a support arm 16, a first horizontal linear module 17, a first vertical linear module 18, a second telescopic component 19, a suction cup bracket 20, a suction nozzle, a mounting frame 21, and a pattern projector 22. The placement area 15 uses an additional frame, located on one side outside the turntable 2, for stacking transfer film. The support arm 16 is installed on one side of the placement area 15 and extends above the turntable 2. The first horizontal linear module 17 has a structure consisting of a base, guide rail, slider, lead screw drive, or belt drive, which is existing technology. The first horizontal linear module 17 is arranged along the length of the support arm 16; the first vertical linear module 18 is installed on the slider of the first horizontal linear module 17 and can move along the support arm 16 with the first horizontal linear module 17. The structure of the first vertical linear module 18 is a base, guide rail, slider, screw drive and belt drive, which is the prior art. The first vertical linear module 18 is used to drive the second telescopic component 19 to move longitudinally; the second telescopic component 19 adopts a cylinder, oil cylinder or equivalent component, and is fixed on the slider of the first vertical linear module 18, with the telescopic end facing downward; the suction cup bracket 20 is fixed on the telescopic end of the second telescopic component 19, and the suction nozzles are evenly installed at the bottom of the suction cup bracket 20. The suction nozzles are connected to the negative pressure pump through the air pipe (the negative pressure pump is electrically connected to the control system 11) for adsorbing the transfer film; the mounting frame 21 is fixed on the upper part of the support arm 16, and the pattern projector 22 is installed on the mounting frame 21. The lens of the pattern projector 22 faces the base plate 3 of the third station and can project the preset transfer film outline onto the flattened garment.
[0045] During operation, turntable 2 delivers the flattened garment to the third workstation. First, pattern projector 22 projects a visible light outline onto the garment surface on base plate 3 according to preset heat transfer pattern parameters (the preset program stores the placement outlines of transfer films for different garments). This outline precisely marks the position where the transfer film should be placed. Subsequently, the first horizontal linear module 17 drives the first vertical linear module 18 to move above the placement area 15, the second telescopic component 19 descends, and the suction nozzle picks up a transfer film under the action of a negative pressure air source. Then, the first horizontal linear module 17 moves the suction nozzle along with the transfer film above turntable 2, and the first vertical linear module 18, in coordination with the second telescopic component 19, makes fine adjustments to accurately place the transfer film within the projected outline on the garment, thereby completing high-precision positioning and placement.
[0046] like Figure 7-8As shown, the hot pressing device 7 is positioned on the mounting platform 4 corresponding to the fourth workstation. The hot pressing device 7 includes a second housing 23, within which a third telescopic component 24 is installed. The third telescopic component 24 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or an equivalent component. A first hot pressing plate 25 is installed at the telescopic end of the third telescopic component 24. The first hot pressing plate 25 has a built-in electric heating element connected to a temperature control system. When the turntable 2 moves the garment with the transfer film placed to the fourth workstation, the third telescopic component 24 drives the first hot pressing plate 25 to press down, maintaining a certain pressure, temperature, and time to heat-transfer the pattern on the transfer film to the surface of the garment.
[0047] like Figure 9 As shown in Figure 12, the visual film-tearing device 8 is located on one side outside the turntable 2, corresponding to the fifth workstation. The visual film-tearing device 8 includes a box 26 for collecting waste film. A second horizontal linear module 27 is mounted above the box 26, and a third horizontal linear module 28 is installed on the second horizontal linear module 27 to achieve spatial movement in all directions. A fourth telescopic component 29 is installed on the slider of the third horizontal linear module 28, and a peeling component 30 is installed at the telescopic end of the fourth telescopic component 29. An installation arm 31 extends from the mounting platform 4 toward the fifth workstation, and a fifth telescopic component 32 is mounted on the installation arm 31. A clamping component 33 is connected to the lower end of the fifth telescopic component 32 to press down the edge of the garment during film tearing. A support frame 34 is also fixed above the third horizontal linear module 28, and a visual camera 35 is mounted on the support frame 34.
[0048] Specifically, the peeling assembly 30 includes a sixth telescopic member 36, with a fixing block 37 fixed to its lower part, and a clamping block 38 connected to the telescopic end of the sixth telescopic member 36. The lower end of the side opposite to the clamping block 38 of the fixing block 37 has a shovel-shaped structure, which facilitates the scraping up of the edges of the transfer film. The fourth telescopic member 29, the fifth telescopic member 32, and the sixth telescopic member 36 can be cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, or components with equivalent functions.
[0049] The operation process of this station is as follows: When the garment enters the fifth station, the vision camera 35 identifies the position of the transfer film after heat pressing. If the identified position is correct, the next work step continues. If the identified position is inaccurate, the equipment stops running and issues an alarm.
[0050] The fifth telescopic component 32 drives the clamping component 33 to press down and fix the upper edge of the garment. The fifth telescopic component 32 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or an equivalent component. Next, the second horizontal linear module 27 and the third horizontal linear module 28 work together to move the fourth telescopic component 29 to the edge of the transfer film, and the sixth telescopic component 36 retracts to clamp the edge of the transfer film between the clamping block 38 and the fixing block 37. Subsequently, the second horizontal linear module 27 retracts, completely tearing the transfer film off the garment, and moves it above the box 26 to release the clamping block 38. The waste film falls into the box 26 for recycling.
[0051] like Figure 13-14 As shown, the repressing device 9 is located on one side outside the turntable 2, corresponding to the sixth station. The repressing device 9 includes a third housing 39, within which a seventh telescopic component 40 is installed. The seventh telescopic component 40 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or an equivalent component. A second hot press plate 41 is installed at the telescopic end of the seventh telescopic component 40. Since the transferred pattern on the garment after film removal may have poor transfer effect, the seventh telescopic component 40 drives the second hot press plate 41 to perform a short-term secondary hot press on the garment, improving color fastness and finished product quality.
[0052] like Figure 15 As shown, the garment collection device 10 is located on one side outside the turntable 2, corresponding to the seventh station. The garment collection device 10 includes a garment collection area 42, and a fourth horizontal linear movement module 43 is arranged above the garment collection area 42. A bracket 44 is connected to the slider of the fourth horizontal linear movement module 43, and a finger cylinder 45 is installed on the bracket 44. When the garment that has completed re-pressing arrives at the seventh station, the fourth horizontal linear movement module 43 moves the finger cylinder 45 above the garment, the finger cylinder 45 clamps the finished garment, and then moves horizontally to drag the garment from the base plate 3 to the garment collection area 42, completing the automatic unloading.
[0053] The control system 11 includes a PLC programmable logic controller and a human-machine interface touch screen. The control system 11 is electrically connected to the drive motor of the turntable 2, the solenoid valves of each telescopic component, each linear module, the temperature controllers of the first hot press plate 25 and the second hot press plate 41, the vision camera 35, and the pattern projector 22, respectively. It is used to receive sensor signals and output execution commands, and coordinate the above-mentioned devices to operate in a preset logical sequence to achieve fully automatic continuous production.
[0054] Its complete operation process is as follows.
[0055] First station loading: The operator manually places the garment to be processed on the base plate 3 of the first station on the turntable 2, and sets the corresponding operating parameters in the control system 11.
[0056] Second station garment leveling: The base plate 3 carries the garment to the leveling device 5. The first telescopic component 13 drives the leveling plate 14 to press down and level, ensuring the flatness of subsequent projection positioning and transfer film placement. After leveling is completed, the leveling plate 14 rises, and the turntable 2 continues to rotate.
[0057] The third station involves projection positioning and automatic film placement: After the garment enters the projection film placement station, the pattern projector 22 projects the standard placement outline of the transfer film onto the garment surface in visible light according to a preset program, forming a precise positioning mark. Simultaneously, the moving projection device 6, through the coordinated movement of the first horizontal linear module 17, the first vertical linear module 18, and the second telescopic component 19, uses negative pressure from the suction nozzle to pick up the transfer film, moves it to the projected outline position, and precisely places it down, completing the automatic film placement. After film placement is completed, the turntable 2 rotates to the next station.
[0058] Fourth station: Heat transfer printing. The garment with the transfer film placed on it enters the heat transfer station. The third telescopic component 24 drives the first heat press plate 25 to press down, transferring the transfer film pattern to the surface of the garment under the set temperature, pressure, and time. After heat pressing is completed, the first heat press plate 25 rises, and the turntable 2 continues to rotate.
[0059] Fifth station: Visual inspection and automatic film peeling. The heat-pressed garment enters the visual film peeling station. The visual camera 35 first checks the accuracy of the pattern position: if the position deviation exceeds the standard, the equipment stops and alarms; if the position is correct, the film peeling process begins. The fifth telescopic component 32 drives the clamping component 33 to press down on the garment edge. The peeling component 30 moves to the corner of the transfer film via the linear module. The clamping block 38 and the fixing block 37 clamp the film edge. The linear module retracts to completely peel off the transfer film and puts the waste film into the box 26 for recycling. After film peeling is complete, the turntable 2 rotates.
[0060] The sixth station is the re-pressing and color-fixing stage: After the film is removed, the garment enters the re-pressing station. The seventh telescopic component 40 drives the second hot press plate 41 to press down briefly, performing secondary hot pressing on the pattern area to enhance the adhesion and color fastness of the pattern, thereby improving the quality of the finished product. After the re-pressing is completed, the second hot press plate 41 rises, and the turntable 2 continues to rotate.
[0061] The seventh station automatically collects and unloads garments: Finished garments arrive at the collection station. The fourth horizontal linear movement module 43 moves the finger cylinder 45 above the garment, clamps the garment, and drags it horizontally to the collection area 42, completing the automatic unloading. After unloading, the empty base plate 3 rotates with the turntable 2 back to the first station, entering the next cycle.
[0062] The above does not limit the technical scope of the present invention in any way. Any modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the technical scope of the present invention.
