The laminating device 100 includes a loading mechanism 20, a laminating mechanism 30, a unloading mechanism 40 and a control module 50.

[0070] Specifically, the loading mechanism 20 is used to load and move the product 10 to be laminated. The loading mechanism 20 includes a loading member 21 and a first transmission member 22. The loading member 21 is used to receive the product 10 to be laminated.

Through the above arrangement, the first transmission member 22 can drive the loading member 21 to move, so as to transfer the product 10 to the laminating mechanism 30, thereby realizing the automation of the loading action.

[0071] Optionally, the loading member 21 is a carrier or a suction cup, and the first transmission member 22 is a transmission belt or a robot.

[0072] Please also read Figure 2 and Figure 4 The laminating mechanism 30 is used to place the product 10 obtained by the feeding mechanism 20 (see Figure 3 ) and pressurize the product 10, and a temperature regulating module 31 and a pressure regulating module 32 are provided in the laminating mechanism 30.

[0073] The temperature adjustment module 31 includes a heating element 311, a temperature adjustment element 312 and a temperature sensor 313.

Specifically, the gas passing through per unit time is manually controlled by the mechanical gate valve. In order to extend the time for the pressure sensor 37 (i.e., the pressure sensor) to reach the preset vacuum value from the atmosphere, it is necessary to manually adjust the mechanical gate valve to reduce the amount of gas passing through, thereby achieving adjustable vacuum rate. Compared with the above-mentioned frequency converter, the structure is simple and the implementation cost is low.

The second transmission member 42 is connected to the unloading member 41 and is used to unload the product 10 on the unloading member 41. Through the above arrangement, the second transmission member 42 can drive the unloading member 41 to move, so as to unload the product 10, thereby realizing the automation of the unloading action.
