Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of panel processing technology, specifically to an automatic heat press machine. Background Technology

[0002] In existing hot stamping processes, manual or semi-automatic hot stamping equipment is typically used for stamping flat materials such as cabinet panels. While these devices can meet the needs of hot stamping to some extent, they have several shortcomings. For example, manual hot stamping machines require operators to manually place and position the sheet material, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to poor stamping results due to operational errors. Although semi-automatic hot stamping machines achieve a degree of mechanization, they still require manual intervention in the positioning and conveying of the sheet material, thus also resulting in problems such as inaccurate positioning and low operating efficiency.

[0003] Technical problems existing in the technology

[0004] Inaccurate positioning: Existing manual or semi-automatic heat press machines lack precise positioning devices, making the positioning process of the board before heat pressing dependent on manual operation, which is prone to introducing errors and resulting in inaccurate positioning of heat-pressed patterns or text.

[0005] Low operating efficiency: Due to the need for manual intervention in the placement, positioning and conveying of the sheet metal, the existing heat press machine has low operating efficiency and cannot meet the needs of large-scale, high-efficiency production.

[0006] Unstable hot stamping quality: Due to inaccurate positioning and operational errors, existing hot stamping machines are prone to problems such as blurred or distorted patterns or text during the hot stamping process, which affects the hot stamping quality. Utility Model Content

[0007] This utility model addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing an automatic heat press machine to solve the problem that inaccurate positioning of the aforementioned board material before heat pressing affects the heat pressing quality.

[0008] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: An automatic heat press machine includes a main frame, on which an ironing head is mounted, and on which two sets of board material limiting conveyor frames are also mounted, located directly below the ironing head and arranged opposite each other; the two sets of board material limiting conveyor frames are provided with limiting grooves adapted to the board material on opposite sides.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0010] Furthermore, several positioning pins adapted to the sheet metal are provided above the sheet metal limiting conveyor frame. The main frame is provided with a slide table and a moving component connected to the slide table along one side of the positioning pins. A pin seat connected to the positioning pin is installed on the slide table. The moving component is used to drive the slide table to move so as to drive the positioning pin to lock or loosen the sheet metal.

[0011] Furthermore, the moving component is a lead screw slide arranged along the positioning direction of the positioning pin.

[0012] Furthermore, the sheet material limiting conveyor is also equipped with a photoelectric sensor for detecting the sheet material in the limiting groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the limiting groove is provided with a plurality of equally spaced balls along the length direction.

[0014] Furthermore, a support platform and a hydraulic lifting mechanism connected to the support platform are provided directly below the heating head; the hydraulic lifting mechanism is used to drive the support platform to support the bottom of the plate material.

[0015] Furthermore, the automatic ironing machine provided by this utility model has at least the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0016] Beneficial effects:

[0017] This practical automatic heat press machine design achieves precise positioning and conveying of the sheet metal by introducing a sheet metal limiting conveyor frame and its limiting grooves. Simultaneously, in conjunction with positioning pins, a sliding table, and moving components, it can automatically and precisely lock and release the sheet metal, thus ensuring the stability and accuracy of the sheet metal's position during the heat pressing process. This design significantly improves the precision and efficiency of heat pressing and reduces heat pressing defects caused by sheet metal displacement.

[0018] Furthermore, this automatic heat press machine provides stable support for the sheet material through the combined use of a support platform and a hydraulic lifting mechanism. During the heat pressing process, the support platform ensures smooth contact between the bottom of the sheet material, thereby guaranteeing the uniformity and accuracy of the heat pressing. Simultaneously, the precise control of the hydraulic lifting mechanism makes the lifting movement of the support platform smoother and more reliable, further improving the quality and efficiency of the heat pressing. This design not only optimizes the heat pressing process but also enhances the automation level and operability of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integrally formed structures. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this patent based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the automatic heat press machine of this practical design includes a main frame 1, on which a heat press head 2 is mounted. The main frame 1 also has two sets of oppositely arranged board material limiting conveyor frames 3 located directly below the heat press head 2. Each of the two sets of board material limiting conveyor frames 3 has a limiting groove 3.1 on its opposite side, adapted to the board material. The heat press head 2 on the main frame 1 heats the board material. Simultaneously, the two sets of oppositely arranged board material limiting conveyor frames 3 below the main frame 1, each with a limiting groove 3.1 on its opposite side, are used for precise limiting and conveying of the board material, ensuring stable and accurate positioning of the board material during the heat pressing process.

[0026] In one embodiment, a plurality of positioning pins 4 adapted to the sheet metal are provided above the sheet metal limiting conveyor 3. The main frame 1 is provided with a slide table 5 and a moving component 6 connected to the slide table 5 along one side of the positioning pins 4. The slide table 5 is equipped with a pin seat 7 connected to the positioning pins 4. The moving component 6 is used to drive the slide table 5 to move so as to drive the positioning pins 4 to lock or loosen the sheet metal.

[0027] Specifically, the moving component 6 is a lead screw slide arranged along the positioning direction of the positioning pin 4.

[0028] In addition, the sheet material limiting conveyor 3 is also equipped with a photoelectric sensor 8 for detecting the sheet material in the limiting groove 3.1.

[0029] Specifically, the bottom wall of the limiting groove 3.1 is provided with a plurality of equally spaced balls 3.2 along the length direction.

[0030] The moving component 6 is specifically a lead screw slide arranged along the positioning direction of the positioning pin 4, which can drive the slide 5 to move precisely. When the sheet material is placed in the limiting groove 3.1, the moving component 6 drives the slide 5 to move, thereby causing the positioning pin 4 to insert into the reserved hole or matching position in the sheet material, realizing the locking of the sheet material. In this way, the sheet material can remain stable during the heat pressing process and is not prone to displacement.

[0031] Meanwhile, in order to monitor the presence of the sheet material in the limiting groove 3.1 in real time, a photoelectric sensor 8 is also installed in the sheet material limiting conveyor 3. When the sheet material enters the limiting groove 3.1, the photoelectric sensor 8 will send a signal indicating that the sheet material has arrived in place and the heat pressing operation can begin.

[0032] In addition, to reduce the friction of the sheet material moving within the limiting groove 3.1 and improve conveying efficiency, multiple equally spaced ball bearings 3.2 are arranged along the length of the bottom wall of the limiting groove 3.1. These ball bearings 3.2 can roll and support the sheet material, making its conveying process smoother.

[0033] As one implementation, a support platform 9 and a hydraulic lifting mechanism 10 connected to the support platform 9 are also provided directly below the ironing head 2; the hydraulic lifting mechanism 10 is used to drive the support platform 9 to support the bottom of the plate material.

[0034] Directly below the heating head 2, a support platform 9 is provided, which is connected to a hydraulic lifting mechanism 10. The hydraulic lifting mechanism 10 serves as a power source, enabling precise control of the lifting and lowering movement of the support platform 9. When the sheet material is placed in the limiting groove 3.1 and locked by the positioning pin 4, the hydraulic lifting mechanism 10 begins to operate, driving the support platform 9 to rise until the top surface of the support platform 9 is in close contact with the bottom of the sheet material.

[0035] During the heat pressing process, the heat pressing head 2 descends under the guidance of the main frame 1 to heat the sheet material. At this time, the support platform 9 provides stable support for the sheet material, ensuring the uniformity and accuracy of the heat pressing. After the heat pressing is completed, the hydraulic lifting mechanism 10 works again to drive the support platform 9 to descend and release the sheet material for the next round of operation.
