[0002] During operation, the heat transfer printer prints a pattern on the heat transfer film, and then sprinkles hot melt powder on the heat transfer film with the pattern printed on it, so that the hot melt powder adheres to the pattern on the heat transfer film. The heating device heats and melts the hot melt powder on the pattern on the heat transfer film, so that the hot melt powder adheres firmly to the heat transfer film. In this process, the hot melt powder outside the pattern on the heat transfer film needs to be shaken off to prevent the hot melt powder from adhering to other places on the heat transfer film.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the automatic powder return device. Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the silo is shown in Figure 1. Figure 3 This is the enlarged view of point A. Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of a powder return mechanism. The present embodiment provides an automatic powder return device, which includes a silo 1, a powder collecting device 2 and a powder return mechanism 3. A plurality of powder sprinkling holes 10 are provided at the bottom of the silo 1, and the plurality of powder sprinkling holes 10 are arranged at intervals. The powder collecting device 2 is located below the plurality of powder sprinkling holes 10, and the powder return mechanism 3 is connected to the silo 1 and the powder collecting device 2, respectively. Among them, the silo 1 is used to place hot melt powder, and the hot melt powder is sprinkled on the painting film through the powder sprinkling holes 10, the powder collecting device 2 is used to receive the hot melt powder that is shaken off, and the powder return mechanism 3 is used to automatically recycle the hot melt powder in the powder collecting device 2 back to the silo 1, so as to realize the secondary utilization of the hot melt powder.

[0027] Specifically, the powder return mechanism 3 includes a fan 31, an anti-blocking device 32 and a conveying pipeline 33. The fan 31 has an air inlet 311 and an air outlet 312. The air inlet 311 of the fan 31 is connected to one end of the anti-blocking device 32, and the anti-blocking device 32 is connected to the powder collecting device 2. One end of the conveying pipeline 33 is connected to the air outlet 312 of the fan 31, and the other end of the conveying pipeline 33 is connected to the silo 1.

[0028] When in use, the air inlet 311 of the fan 31 generates negative pressure, so that the hot melt powder in the powder collecting device 2 is adsorbed into the anti-blocking device 32. During the adsorption process, the anti-blocking device 32 diverts the hot melt powder to prevent the hot melt powder from being blocked at the air inlet 311 of the fan 31. After passing through the anti-blocking device 32, the hot melt powder is adsorbed into the fan 31, and then blown into the conveying pipe 33 by the air outlet 312 of the fan 31, and re-enters the silo 1 along the conveying pipe 33 to realize the automatic recovery of the hot melt powder. Finally, it is evenly sprinkled onto the painting film again through the multiple powder sprinkling holes 10 of the silo 1, and the hot melt powder is effectively prevented from being blocked in the silo 1. Repeating this process can realize the recycling and reuse of the hot melt powder.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a cross-sectional view of the anti-blocking device. Furthermore, the anti-blocking device 32 includes a plug 321 and a diverter 322, and one end of the plug 321 is connected to the diverter 322.

By arranging two diverter ports 3221 on the side wall of the plug 321, the hot melt powder is diverted into the fan 31, avoiding excessive powder inlet 311 of the fan 31 causing blockage of the air inlet 311 of the fan 31, and maintaining the normal operation of the automatic powder return device. Preferably, the plug 321 and the diverter 322 are integrally formed.

[0030] Furthermore, the plug 321 includes a first connection part 3211 and a second connection part 3212, the second connection part 3212 is arranged at one end of the first connection part 3211, and the first connection part 3211 is communicated with the second connection part 3212, the end of the first connection part 3211 away from the second connection part 3212 is connected to the diversion part 322, and the inner diameter of the second connection part 3212 gradually decreases along the direction away from the diversion part 322, and the end of the second connection part 3212 away from the first connection part 3211 is connected to the air inlet 311 of the fan 31.

[0031] The hot melt powder enters the plug 321 after entering the diversion part 322 , and enters the fan 31 through the second connection part 3212 after gradually reducing the amount of hot melt powder passing through the first connection part 3211 , thereby preventing the hot melt powder from excessively blocking the air inlet 311 of the fan 31 .

The driving assembly 222 is used to drive the rotating screw 221 to rotate. When the rotating screw 221 rotates, it pushes the hot melt powder in the powder collecting trough 21, so that the hot melt powder moves in the direction of the anti-blocking device 32, and the rotating screw 221 is continuously rotated to effectively prevent the hot melt powder from settling at the bottom of the powder collecting trough 21, thereby accelerating the recovery efficiency of the automatic powder return device.

[0033] Furthermore, the driving assembly 222 includes a motor 2221, a driving wheel 2222, a driven wheel 2223 and a conveyor belt 2224.

The driven wheel 2223 is connected to one end of the rotating screw 221, and the driving wheel 2222 is connected to the driven wheel 2223 through the conveyor belt 2224.

[0034] During operation, the motor 2221 drives the driving wheel 2222 to rotate, and the driving wheel 2222 synchronously drives the driven wheel 2223 to rotate through the conveyor belt 2224, so that the rotating screw 221 rotates following the rotation of the driven wheel 2223.

The first baffle 212 and the second baffle 213 are provided to prevent the hot melt powder from scattering to other places when it is shaken off, so as to collect the hot melt powder to the greatest extent.

[0036] Furthermore, the powder collecting device 2 further includes a powder collecting box 23, which is connected to one end of the powder collecting slot 21 and communicates with the powder collecting slot 21. The anti-blocking device 32 is located in the powder collecting box 23, and the interior of the anti-blocking device 32 communicates with the powder collecting box 23.
