Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a high-efficiency hat-baking machine, belonging to the technical field of heat transfer equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Hat heating machines, also known as heat transfer hat heating machines, can heat any color mark, portrait photo, landscape pattern, and personalized pattern onto hats. They are especially suitable for advertising, gifts, promotional activities, and personalized items. However, current hat heating machines generally have only one station and require manual lifting and pressing operations, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and not conducive to improving efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a high-efficiency hat-baking machine with dual-station alternating operation and automatic lifting and transfer printing, thereby improving production efficiency and overcoming the shortcomings of the existing technology.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: a high-efficiency hat-grilling machine, including a base, a hat-grilling base and a hat-grilling top seat that cooperates with the hat-grilling base and is driven to rise and fall by a lifting mechanism, and a control device. The lifting mechanism is an automatic lifting mechanism controlled by the control device. A slide is slidably connected to the base, and a pair of mounting seats are provided on the slide. The hat-grilling bases are a pair and are mounted on the corresponding mounting seats. The base and the slide are provided with a cooperating positioning mechanism and a sensor switch. The sensor switch is connected to the control device. The slide slides along the base to align the pair of hat-grilling bases with the hat-grilling top seat in turn. The positioning mechanism includes a ball screw and a cooperating positioning hole. When the hat-grilling base is in the aligned position with the hat-grilling top seat, the ball screw and the corresponding positioning hole are connected and engaged. The sensor switch senses and sends a signal. The control device receives the signal from the sensor switch and controls the automatic lifting mechanism to raise and lower so that the hat-grilling top seat cooperates and connects with the corresponding hat-grilling base.
[0005] Furthermore, the mounting base is fitted with a fixing bracket that mates with the base of the baking cap, and a return spring is connected between the fixing bracket and the mounting base.
[0006] Furthermore, the mounting base is provided with a lifting component that connects to the hat base, and the height of the hat base is adjusted by the lifting component.
[0007] Furthermore, the aforementioned mounting bracket has a foot pedal.
[0008] Furthermore, a buffer mechanism is provided between the automatic lifting mechanism and the top seat of the baking hat. The buffer mechanism includes an upper mounting plate and a lower mounting plate that are slidably connected vertically. The upper mounting plate is connected to the automatic lifting mechanism, and the lower mounting plate is connected to the top seat of the baking hat. Several springs are provided between the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate.
[0009] By implementing this utility model, the hat to be transferred is placed on the heat-transfer base. The sliding slide moves the heat-transfer base, on a mounting base, to directly below the top heat-transfer base. At this position, the ball screw on the machine base connects to the positioning hole on the slide, keeping it in this position. At this position, the corresponding induction switch on the slide and the machine base aligns and sends a signal. The control device receives the signal and controls the automatic lifting mechanism to lower the top heat-transfer base, pressing the hat to be transferred onto the heat-transfer base. After a set time of heating and transfer, the base moves back up to reset for the next round of transfer. During the transfer process, the hat to be transferred can be placed on another heat-transfer base. The dual-station heat-transfer bases alternately transfer heat, and the top heat-transfer base can automatically rise and fall to cooperate with the heat transfer, which helps to improve production efficiency.

[0014] Embodiments of this utility model: such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, a high-efficiency hat-grilling machine includes a base 1, on which hat-grilling bases 2 and hat-grilling top seats 3, which are driven to lift and cooperate with the hat-grilling bases 2 by an automatic lifting mechanism 9, are provided. The automatic lifting mechanism 9 is existing technology and can be an electric lifting column including an electric lead screw assembly, or a cylinder that achieves extension and retraction by opening or closing a solenoid valve, etc. A slide block 4 is slidably connected to the base 1, and a pair of mounting seats 5 are provided on the slide block 4. The hat-grilling bases 2 are a pair and are mounted on the corresponding mounting seats 5. The base 1 and the slide block 4 are provided with a cooperating positioning mechanism and a sensor switch 6. The sensor switch 6 is connected to a control device. The slide block 4 slides along the base 1 to align the pair of hat-grilling bases 2 with the hat-grilling top seats 3 in turn. The positioning mechanism includes a ball screw 7 on the base 1 and two positioning holes 8 on the slide block 4. When the hat to be transferred is placed on the hat-grilling base 2, the slide block 4 slides the hat-grilling base 2 with the hat to be transferred on one of the mounting seats 5 to be directly below the hat-grilling top seat 3. At this position, a positioning mechanism is provided. The ball screw 7 on the base 1 is connected to a positioning hole 8 on the slide 4, so that it is positioned in this position. In this position, the slide 4 is aligned with the corresponding induction switch 6 on the base 1 to send a signal. The induction switch 6 can be an electromagnetic induction switch, an infrared induction switch, etc. When the ball screw 7 is engaged with the positioning hole 8, it realizes sensing and sends the sensing signal to the control device. After receiving the signal, the control device controls the automatic lifting mechanism 9 to lower the top of the heat-heating cap 3 and press the cap to be transferred onto the heat-heating cap base 2 through the set program. After the top of the heat-heating cap 3 heats and transfers according to the set time, the automatic lifting mechanism 9 moves it up to reset and performs the next round of transfer. During the transfer process, the cap to be transferred can be placed on another heat-heating cap base 2, and then the other heat-heating cap base 2 can be slid under the top of the heat-heating cap 3 to replace the transferred cap and perform the next round of work. The dual-station heat-heating cap bases alternately transfer, and the top of the heat-heating cap 3 can automatically lift and lower to cooperate with the heat transfer, which helps to improve production efficiency.
[0015] As a preferred option, the mounting base 5 is connected to a fixing bracket 10 that mates with the hat base 2. A return spring 11 is connected between the fixing bracket 10 and the mounting base 5. The fixing bracket 10 is used to conveniently fix the brim of the hat. When in use, the fixing bracket 10 is first flipped up. When the transfer hat is placed on the hat base 2, the fixing bracket 10 enters the hat. The fixing bracket 10 is reset and flipped down under the action of the return spring 11 to achieve fixation.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the mounting base 5 is provided with a lifting assembly connected to the hat base 2. The lifting assembly includes a positioning post 17 located at the bottom of the hat base 2 and an adjusting bolt 12 that is spirally connected to the mounting base 5 and rotates to the hat base 2. The hat base 2 is slidably connected to the mounting base 5 through the positioning post 17. The height is adjusted by rotating the adjusting bolt 12 to adjust the distance between it and the fixing frame 10, thereby facilitating the fixing of hats of different sizes.
[0017] As a preferred option, the mounting bracket 10 has a foot pedal 13. Existing mounting brackets 10 only have a handle 18, which requires manual operation to flip the mounting bracket 10 upwards. However, manual operation is required when removing the transferred hat and replacing it with a hat to be transferred, which is quite cumbersome. This application improves efficiency by setting a foot pedal 13. During operation, the user can sit next to the equipment and flip the mounting bracket 10 upwards by stepping on the foot pedal 13, freeing up both hands to pick up and put down hats.
[0018] As a preferred embodiment, a buffer mechanism is provided between the automatic lifting mechanism 9 and the top seat of the heating cap 3. The buffer mechanism includes an upper mounting plate 14 and a lower mounting plate 15 that are slidably connected vertically. The lower mounting plate 14 can slide relative to the mounting plate 15 by being connected to several bolts passing through the upper mounting plate 15. A shock-absorbing spring 16 is sleeved on the bolts. The shock-absorbing spring 16 is compressed between the upper mounting plate 14 and the lower mounting plate 15. The top seat of the heating cap 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower mounting plate 15. When the automatic lifting mechanism 9 descends and presses against the heating cap base 2, the shock-absorbing spring 16 provides buffering to avoid excessive downward pressure and damage.
