Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to cup baking machine technical field, especially a mini air bag type cup baking machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of the times, and in order to cater to the aesthetic needs of consumers, the surface of the cup will be transferred with all kinds of patterns. In the process of transferring patterns, cup baking machine is generally needed.

[0003] The cup baking machine on the market is generally divided into manual cup baking machine and automatic cup baking machine. Among them, the manual cup baking machine needs to manually control the opening and clamping of the transfer mechanism to realize the transfer of the surface of the cup, and needs to set up mechanical arm and handle, etc. The overall space occupation is large, and the aesthetic property is poor. Therefore, in the coffee shop, tea room and other relatively high-grade places, or home placement, generally automatic cup baking machine will be selected to experience the fun of cup baking. The structure of the automatic cup baking machine has various forms, such as driving the upper heating disc downward by electricity, and then clamping the cup placed on the lower supporting seat, and completing the transfer of the pattern; or setting a cup placing cavity for placing the cup in the cup baking machine, and setting an opening on one side of the cup placing cavity. During the cup baking process, the opening is driven to become smaller by the way of driving the push rod by the motor, so that the cup placing cavity is contracted to clamp the cup, and then the cup baking process is completed.

[0004] For the former form, although the transfer effect is good, the space occupation of the machine will be relatively large, and the cost of the machine is high. For the latter form, the opening of the cup placing cavity is tightened by the way of driving the push rod by the motor. This way, because the stress point is very concentrated, it will cause that the cup baking pad cannot uniformly act on all positions of the cup body during clamping the cup body, the stress of the cup body is not uniform enough, and the final transfer effect is general. Based on the market status, it is necessary to develop a new cup baking machine to better meet the market demand. INVENTION CONTENTS
