Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of mold design, in particular to a mold for hot and cold integrated transfer printing of images and texts. Background Art
[0002] Nowadays, many products need to be printed with trademarks, logos or ingredients, and transfer printing is a common method of printing images and texts. It is a printing technology that transfers the images and texts on the mold pressure head to the substrate through corresponding pressure. It is often divided into thermal transfer and cold transfer according to the required temperature during transfer.
[0003] As the graphics and text printed on products become increasingly complex and diverse, some products require separate heat transfer and cold transfer printing for different parts of the graphics and text. However, in actual processing, since the molds for common heat transfer and cold transfer are often independent of each other, the processing of these products requires disassembly and assembly of the heat transfer mold and cold transfer mold, as well as transportation between them. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive, reducing processing efficiency and weakening market competitiveness. Utility Model Content

[0028] The linear drive mechanism 6 also includes a buffer 64. The buffer 64 is fixedly mounted on the support plate 7 via a connecting block. There can be multiple buffers 64. After installation, the multiple buffers 64 are arranged on both sides of the mobile platform 5. That is, the buffers 64 are arranged opposite the sides of the mobile platform 5. The buffers 64 can serve as the movable limit position of the mobile platform 5. When the mobile platform 5 moves to the limit position, it will abut against the buffer 64.
[0029] The mold for hot and cold integrated transfer printing also includes guide posts 8 and bushings 9. There can be multiple guide posts 8, one end of each of which is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 2 by bolts. There can also be multiple bushings 9, the number of which is equal to the number of guide posts 8. All bushings 9 are fixedly embedded in the top plate 1, and the multiple bushings 9 are slidably mounted on the multiple guide posts 8 in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0030] The guide column 8 is arranged perpendicular to the horizontal plane, so that the top plate 1 can move longitudinally relative to the guide column 8, and the guide rail 62 is arranged parallel to the horizontal plane, so that the linear drive mechanism 6 can drive the movable platform 5 to move laterally. The thermal transfer mechanism 3 and the cold transfer mechanism 4 are arranged side by side and are configured so that under the drive of the linear drive mechanism 6, the movable platform 5 can pass under the thermal transfer mechanism 3 and the cold transfer mechanism 4.

When the top plate 1 moves downward to the limit position, the upper stop support 10 and the lower stop support 20 can abut against each other.
[0032] The mold for hot and cold integrated transfer printing also includes a loading platform 30 , which is detachably connected to the mobile platform 5 through snap-fitting. The setting of the loading platform 30 can facilitate the fixation of the product to be processed on the mobile platform 5 .
[0033] When the mold for hot and cold integrated transfer of images and texts is in use, the product to be transferred can be fixed on the stage 30, and the stage 30 can be fixed on the movable platform 5, and the top plate 1 can be connected to an external power device such as an external cylinder, so that the external power device can drive the top plate 1 to move, and the heater 34 can be connected to an external power supply device, and the connector 44 can be connected and communicated with an external coolant supply device through a pipeline.
[0034] When it is necessary to transfer images and texts, the user can start the cylinder 61, and the cylinder 61 can drive the mobile platform 5 to move along the guide rail 62, thereby adjusting the position of the mobile platform 5, so that the user can perform thermal transfer processing or cold transfer processing as needed to adjust the product to be processed on the mobile platform 5 to be located below the thermal transfer mechanism 3 or below the cold transfer mechanism 4.
[0035] After moving into position, the top plate 1 can be driven to move toward the bottom plate 2 by an external power device. At the same time, in the thermal transfer processing mechanism 3, the heater 34 can be heated to provide the temperature for the first press head 33 during thermal transfer, and in the cold transfer processing mechanism 4, the external coolant supply device can supply coolant to the cold runner, so that the coolant can cool the second press head 43 to make its temperature meet the requirements of cold transfer.
[0036] As the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2 approach each other, the product located under the thermal transfer processing mechanism 3 or the cold transfer processing mechanism 4 can be thermally transferred by the first pressing head 33 or cold transferred by the second pressing head 43, so as to transfer the required graphics onto the product.
[0037] Moreover, when the product needs to change the transfer mode, the external power device can be used to drive the top plate 1 to move accordingly, so that the first pressure head 33 or the second pressure head 43 no longer presses on the product. At this time, the position of the movable platform 5 can be changed by the cylinder 61, that is, the position of the product is changed, and then the product can undergo a new transfer process.
[0038] The above descriptions are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
