Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to clothing hot stamping equipment technical field, specifically point to a clothing hot stamping equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] When producing T-shirts and other clothes, the surface usually needs to be hot stamped with patterns; one side of these patterns is backed with adhesive, and the other side is attached with a protective film. This protective film is usually a medium-hardness film that not only protects the patterns from being damaged but also prevents the patterns from bending, folding, and deforming during the hot stamping process. Since the patterns to be hot stamped on the clothes are very thin, after hot stamping is completed, the protective film is almost attached to the clothes fabric. In addition, the clothes are flexible. When the protective film is peeled off by mechanical means, it is difficult to clamp the edge of the protective film, and the clothes fabric is easily damaged when clamped by the machine. In actual production, the protective film is often peeled off manually. Due to this link, the existing hot stamping production of clothes patterns has a low degree of automation. Hot stamping and protective film removal are basically completed by manual operation.

[0033] In operation, the clothes can be laid flat on the support plate 11 of the first station 2 by manual or mechanical hand, and then the clothes enter the second station 3 with the step rotation of the turntable 1. The pattern placing mechanical hand 32 sucks and moves the heat transfer pattern with protective film to the set position on the surface of the clothes by the suction cup assembly 322, and the carrier table 31 rises by one height of the heat transfer pattern for the next time of taking material. After entering the third station 4, the heat plate 41 is driven by the pressing and heating cylinder 42 to press and heat the heat transfer pattern, so that the adhesive on the heat transfer pattern is pasted and fixed to the clothes after being heated. After entering the fourth station 5, the peeling mechanism 52 corresponds to the top of the clothes, at this time, the film pressing assembly 523 corresponds to the top of the near edge of the protective film, and the spade knife assembly 522 corresponds to the top of the clothes outside the edge of the protective film.
