[0025] Place the device in the working area via the support legs 16, place the thermal transfer film in the storage box 15, adjust the angle of the rotating arm 3 via the No. 2 motor so that the rotating arm 3 and its connected extension arm 4 and rotating plate 5 can reach the position of the thermal transfer film, start the No. 3 motor, drive the extension arm 4 to slide on the rotating arm 3 via the screw rod, and further adjust the working position, start the No. 4 motor, adjust the angle of the rotating plate 5, and ensure that the rotating plate 5 is aligned with the thermal transfer film.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the bottom of the rotating plate 5 is fixedly connected to a cylinder, the output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to a fixed plate 6, the outer side of the fixed plate 6 is fixedly connected to several side slides 7, the outer side of the side slide 7 is slidably connected to a slide seat 8, the bottom of the slide seat 8 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 14 near the fixed plate 6, the bottom of the fixed plate 6 is rotatably connected to a ring gear 10, the bottom of the ring gear 10 is rotatably connected to several rotating rods 13, the other end of the rotating rod 13 is rotatably connected to the corresponding mounting plate 14, a suction cup 9 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the slide seat 8, the number of side slides 7 and rotating rods 13 are both four, the side slides 7 are distributed in a ring shape on the outer side of the fixed plate 6, the rotating rods 13 are distributed in a ring shape at the bottom of the ring gear 10, one end of the bottom of the fixed plate 6 is rotatably connected to a gear 11, the top of the fixed plate 6 is fixedly connected to a No. 1 motor 12, the output end of which is fixedly connected to the gear 11, and the gear 11 is meshed with the ring gear 10.

[0027] Motor No. 1 12 is started, and the gear ring 10 is driven to rotate through the gear 11, so that the rotating rod 13 starts to rotate, and the slide 8 is pushed to slide on the outside of the side slide 7 through the mounting plate 14, so that the four suction cups 9 are unfolded to the appropriate position, and the cylinder is started to push the fixed plate 6 and the suction cup 9 to move downward until the suction cup 9 tightly adsorbs the thermal transfer film, and then transports it to the working position.

[0028] The side slide 7 serves as a bridge connecting the fixed plate 6 and the slide 8, which not only enhances the stability of the structure, but also provides a smooth sliding track for the slide 8, so that the device has four evenly distributed suction cups 9, which can accurately absorb the four corners of the transfer film, ensuring that the transfer film can remain flat during transportation and avoid bending and folding due to uneven force. Moreover, since the slide 8 can slide on the side slide 7, the relative positions of the four suction cups 9 can be fine-tuned according to the size of the transfer film.

[0029] When the ring gear 10 rotates at the bottom of the fixed plate 6, it will drive the slide 8 to move synchronously through the rotating rod 13. Due to the annular distribution design of the rotating rod 13, the four suction cups 9 can move simultaneously and evenly, thereby realizing the synchronous adsorption of the four corners of the transfer film. This design not only reduces the number of driving sources, reduces energy consumption and complexity, but also ensures the synchronization of the displacement of the suction cup 9, avoids the problem of uneven force or position offset of the transfer film due to asynchrony, and improves the stability and flexibility of the device.

[0030] The working principle provided by the utility model is as follows: the device is placed in the working area through the support legs 16, the thermal transfer film is placed in the storage box 15, the angle of the rotating arm 3 is adjusted by the No. 2 motor so that the rotating arm 3 and the extended arm 4 and the rotating plate 5 connected thereto can reach the position of the thermal transfer film, the No. 3 motor is started, and the extended arm 4 is driven by the screw to slide on the rotating arm 3 to further adjust the working position, the No. 4 motor is started, and the angle of the rotating plate 5 is adjusted to ensure that the rotating plate 5 is aligned with the thermal transfer film, the No. 1 motor 12 is started, and the gear ring 10 is driven to rotate through the gear 11, so that the rotating rod 13 starts to rotate, and the sliding seat 8 is pushed to slide on the outside of the side slide 7 through the mounting plate 14, so that the four suction cups 9 are unfolded to the appropriate position, the cylinder is started, and the fixed plate 6 and the suction cup 9 are pushed downward until the suction cup 9 tightly adsorbs the thermal transfer film, and then it is transported to the working position.
