Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] The following combination Figure 1 , describing the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0033] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a composite material heating and softening device is provided, comprising:

[0034] A frame 1 is provided with a support platform 2 and a heating box 3, wherein the heating box 3 has an opening. The frame 1 can be made of stainless steel. The support platform 2 can be positioned at the bottom of the frame 1, and the heating box 3 can be positioned at the top of the frame 1. Universal wheels can be provided at the bottom of the frame 1 to facilitate movement of the frame 1.

[0035] The temperature regulator 4 is placed on the support platform 2. The temperature regulator 4 is a power regulator that adjusts the heating temperature of the ceramic heating plate 5 by controlling the output power to the ceramic heating plate 5. The temperature regulator 4 may include a switch and a plug. The plug connects the temperature regulator 4 to a power source, and the switch controls the on and off of the temperature regulator 4.

[0036] A pull-out storage component is slidably arranged in the heating box body 3, and enters and exits the heating box body 3 through an opening. The material to be heated is arranged on the pull-out storage component; the pull-out storage component can be a slide slidingly arranged on the heating box body 3, and a guide rail is arranged on the side wall of the heating box body 3, and the slide can be pulled out and arranged on the guide rail.

[0037] Ceramic heating plates 5 are two layers, positioned above and below the material to be heated and connected to the temperature regulator 4, suitable for heating the material. The temperature regulator 4 simultaneously controls both layers of ceramic heating plates 5. Each layer of ceramic heating plates 5 can consist of a single ceramic heating plate 5 or multiple ceramic heating plates 5, with both layers having the same number of ceramic heating plates 5.

[0038] The temperature regulator 4 is connected to the ceramic heating plate 5 and can adjust the heating temperature of the ceramic heating plate 5. The two layers of ceramic heating plates 5 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the material to be heated. The ceramic heating plates 5 can heat the material to be heated simultaneously to prevent uneven heating. The ceramic heating plates 5 can also heat the reflective layer material. The pull-out storage assembly can be used to place the material to be heated in or remove it from the heating box body 3 by pulling it out.

[0039] In one embodiment, the cross-section of the heating box body 3 is rectangular, which can conveniently accommodate the material to be heated. The opening is horizontally arranged on the heating box body 3, which can facilitate the pull-out storage component to enter and exit the heating box body 3.

[0040] In one embodiment, the pull-out storage assembly includes:

[0041] There are two slide rails, which are respectively arranged on two opposite side walls of the heating box body 3, and the slide rails extend along the opening position to the inner side of the heating box body 3;

[0042] The pull-out type storage platform is slidably arranged on the slide rail, and the pull-out type storage platform includes a storage plate 7, and the material to be heated is placed on the storage plate 7.

[0043] The slide rails can support and guide the pull-out storage platform so that the pull-out storage platform can move in and out of the heating box body 3 along the slide rails. The storage plate 7 can support the material to be heated.

[0044] In one embodiment, the slide rail is horizontally arranged, so that the pull-out storage table can be conveniently moved in and out of the heating box body 3 along the slide rail.

[0045] In one embodiment, the pull-out storage table further includes:

[0046] A circular frame 8, the outer side wall of the circular frame 8 is slidably set on the slide rail, and a pull-out component is formed between the slide rail, so that the pull-out storage table can be pulled in and out of the heating box body 3, and the storage plate 7 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the circular frame 8. When the circular frame 8 is located in the heating box body 3, one side wall of the circular frame 8 is closed with the opening. One side wall of the circular frame 8 closes the opening, which can play a role in heat preservation during the heating process.

[0047] The slide rail may be a guide rail with a central groove, and the outer side wall of the circular frame 8 may be provided with a corresponding protrusion, which slides into the central groove. The side wall of the circular frame 8 for closing the opening may be provided with a handle to facilitate moving the circular frame 8 within the heating box body 3.

[0048] In one embodiment, the storage plate 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular frame 8 via a connector, and there is a gap between the storage plate 7 and the inner wall of the circular frame 8. When the two layers of ceramic heating plates 5 heat the material to be heated, the ceramic heating plate 5 located above the storage plate 7 directly heats the upper surface of the material to be heated, and the heat generated by the ceramic heating plate 5 located below the storage plate 7 can heat the material to be heated through the gap between the storage plate 7 and the inner wall of the circular frame 8. Compared with the prior art that only heats one side of the material to be heated, the present application can heat the two opposite sides of the material to be heated, which can make the heating of the material to be heated more uniform. The storage plate 7 can be made of a material with relatively strong heat conductivity. There can be four connectors, one end of which is connected to the four inner corners of the circular frame 8, and the other end is connected to the storage plate 7.

[0049] In one embodiment, the pull-out storage table further includes:

[0050] There are several telescopic springs, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the inner side of the circular frame 8, and one end of the telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the circular frame 8;

[0051] The clamp corresponds to the telescopic spring one by one and is arranged at the other end of the telescopic spring.

[0052] When heating the material, clamps located at both ends can be used to hold the heated material. The telescopic springs act to reduce the effects of thermal expansion and contraction on the material. For example, if the heated material expands in size, the telescopic springs can be compression springs; if the heated material contracts in size, the telescopic springs can be tension springs. The clamps can be clips for holding the heated material.

[0053] In one embodiment, two ceramic heating plates 5 respectively constitute the upper side wall and the lower side wall of the heating box body 3. When setting up the heating box body 3, the ceramic heating plates 5 can be directly installed at the upper and lower side walls of the heating box body 3, which is convenient for installation. Among them, the heating box body 3 has five surfaces and an opening. The upper and lower surfaces are the ceramic heating plates 5, and the left and right surfaces and the surface opposite to the opening can be made of stainless steel. After the circular frame 8 is closed in the heating box body 3, the side walls of the circular frame 8 should seal the opening of the heating box body 3 to ensure the airtightness of the heating box body 3 when heating the material to be heated.

[0054] In one embodiment, the device further includes a temperature sensor and a temperature display 10. The temperature sensor is adapted to detect the temperature within the heating box body 3. The temperature display 10 is connected to the temperature sensor and adapted to display the temperature within the heating box body 3. The temperature display 10 is adapted to display the actual temperature within the heating box body 3. The temperature display 10 may be disposed on the outer side wall of the heating box body 3, and the temperature sensor may be disposed on the inner side wall of the heating box body 3.

[0055] In one embodiment, the temperature regulator 4 is provided with a temperature control button 11 and a temperature control display 12. The temperature control button 11 is suitable for adjusting the temperature of the ceramic heating plate 5 controlled by the temperature regulator 4, and the temperature control display 12 is suitable for displaying the temperature adjusted by the temperature control button 11 on the ceramic heating plate 5. The temperature regulator 4 can output heating power to the ceramic heating plate 5 so that the ceramic heating plate 5 can heat the material to be heated. The temperature control button 11 is suitable for adjusting the heating power output by the temperature regulator 4 to the ceramic heating plate 5. The temperature control display 12 corresponds to the degree of adjustment of the temperature regulator 4 by the temperature control button 11, and displays the theoretical heating temperature of the ceramic heating plate 5 after adjustment by the temperature control button 11. A controller may also be included, which can calculate the theoretical heating temperature of the ceramic heating plate 5 based on the rated power of the ceramic heating plate 5 and the heating power output by the temperature regulator 4 to the ceramic heating plate 5 controlled by the temperature regulator 4, and display it on the temperature control display 12. The theoretical heating temperature displayed on the temperature control display 12 provides preliminary assistance in adjusting the desired operating temperature within the heating box 3, ensuring that the actual heating temperature after initial adjustment does not differ significantly from the desired operating temperature. The actual temperature within the heating box 3 can then be adjusted using the temperature control button 11, based on the temperature display 10. It is important to note that once the heating box 3 reaches the softened operating temperature, the heated material must be removed quickly to continue the molding process.
