[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat press machines, and more specifically, to a flat heat press machine. Background Technology
[0002] A heat press machine is a specialized device for transferring designs onto decorative items such as Spring Festival couplets, wedding paintings, etc., using heat transfer technology. It uses a heating plate and pressure system to transfer the ink or hot stamping layer from a transfer film or heat transfer paper with the printed design onto the surface of the substrate. Under high temperature and pressure, a firm and exquisite design is formed. It can quickly achieve personalized customization and is especially suitable for occasions that require exquisite designs, such as festival decorations and wedding supplies. It maintains the beauty of traditional craftsmanship while enabling mass production, making it an ideal tool for producing high-end decorative items.
[0003] In existing technologies, heat press machines lack a buffer design during the pressing phase, resulting in direct, rigid contact with the substrate at the moment of pressing. This makes it impossible to achieve a gradual adjustment of pressure from light to heavy, and it is easy to cause material deformation or pattern distortion due to excessive instantaneous pressure. In addition, the heat press process is in a single-threaded mode, and the next pattern positioning and preparation work can only be carried out after the current heat press process is completely completed (including cooling, resetting, etc.), resulting in obvious production intervals and restricting the efficiency of continuous production.
[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a flat heat press machine to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.
[0006] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A flat heat press machine includes a base, a control panel on one side of the base, and worktables symmetrically arranged on the top of the base.

A buffer component that cooperates with the worktable is arranged at the bottom of the pressing component.
[0008] Furthermore, to improve the efficiency of heat transfer printing, the adjustment component includes a limiting groove at the top of the base, a movable seat inside the limiting groove, a support frame at the top of the movable seat, and a limiting rod that mates with the base through one side of the top of the support frame; a rack at the top of the movable seat, with limiting posts symmetrically arranged at both ends of the rack, and movable teeth that mate with the limiting posts on both sides of the rack; a spring that mates with the movable teeth is fitted on the outer side of each limiting post; a gear that mates with the movable teeth is arranged on one side of the rack, with a rotating rod in the middle of the gear, and a motor that mates with the base on one side of the rotating rod; the gear meshes with the rack, and the gear meshes with the movable teeth; the support frame is L-shaped, and the movable seat is convex.

The output shaft of the cylinder passes through the support frame and is provided with a fixing plate. Several limiting rods are evenly provided at the top of the fixing plate, passing through the support frame.
[0010] Furthermore, to improve the stability of the heat transfer printing process, the buffer assembly includes several limiting rods three evenly interspersed at the bottom of the fixed plate. A hot press plate is provided at the bottom of the limiting rods three, and several springs two that cooperate with the limiting rods three and the fixed plate are provided at the top of the hot press plate. Cylindrical shells that cooperate with the fixed plate and the hot press plate are provided on the outer side of each spring two.

It is easy to operate and has wide applicability. By applying uniform pressure, it can ensure that the pattern is bright and firmly attached, thus improving the quality of the finished product. In addition, the equipment has a compact structure and low energy consumption, which can meet the dual needs of small-batch customization and large-scale production.

[0013] 2. With the combined action of the adjustment and buffer components, this utility model adopts a gradual increase in pressure.

[0022] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings, which are part of the disclosure of the present invention. These drawings are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and the advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are usually used to represent similar components.
[0023] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a flat heat press machine is provided.
[0024] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the flat heat press machine according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a base 1, a control panel 2 is provided on one side of the base 1, and worktables 3 are symmetrically provided on the top of the base 1. Adjustment components 4 that cooperate with the base 1 are provided on one side of the two sets of worktables 3. A pressing component 5 is provided on the top of the adjustment component 4, and the heat press operation is realized by the pressing component 5. A buffer component 6 that cooperates with the worktable 3 is provided at the bottom of the pressing component 5.
[0025] With the help of the above technical solutions, this utility model, through the combined action of the adjusting component 4, the pressing component 5, and the buffer component 6, can efficiently and accurately transfer the pattern onto the surface of various substrates. It is easy to operate and widely applicable. Uniform pressure ensures vibrant colors and strong adhesion, improving the quality of the finished product. Furthermore, the equipment has a compact structure and low energy consumption, meeting the dual needs of small-batch customization and large-scale production, offering a cost advantage compared to traditional printing methods. The adjusting component 4 and the buffer component 6 work together to progressively increase pressure, achieving buffering and shock absorption during the pressing process. This absorbs mechanical impact, reduces equipment vibration, protects the integrity of the substrate, and extends the machine's lifespan. The smooth transition from light to heavy pressure effectively avoids material damage caused by instantaneous high pressure, ensuring uniform and firm pattern transfer. Simultaneously, the optimized workflow design supports parallel operation, allowing the positioning and registration of the next heat transfer to be completed simultaneously with the current heat transfer process, significantly shortening production intervals and improving adaptability to continuous heat transfer requirements.
[0026] In one embodiment, the adjustment component 4 includes a limiting groove 401 formed at the top of the base 1, a movable seat 402 disposed inside the limiting groove 401, a support frame 403 disposed at the top of the movable seat 402, and a limiting rod 404 cooperating with the base 1 being disposed through one side of the top of the support frame 403; a rack 405 disposed at the top of the movable seat 402, with limiting posts 406 symmetrically disposed at both ends of the rack 405, and movable teeth 407 cooperating with the limiting posts 406 disposed on both sides of the rack 405. The outer side of the limiting post 406 is fitted with a spring 408 that cooperates with the movable tooth 407; a gear 409 that cooperates with the movable tooth 407 is provided on one side of the rack 405; a rotating rod 410 is provided in the middle of the gear 409; a motor 411 that cooperates with the base 1 is provided on one side of the rotating rod 410; the gear 409 and the rack 405 mesh with each other, and the gear 409 and the movable tooth 407 mesh with each other; the support frame 403 is L-shaped, and the movable seat 402 is convex; thereby improving the efficiency of heat transfer printing.
[0027] The working principle of adjustment component 4 is as follows:
[0028] Controlling the motor 411 in the adjustment assembly 4 via the control panel 2 causes the output shaft of the motor 411 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 410 to rotate. This rotation, in turn, drives the gear 409 to rotate. Since the gear 409 and rack 405 mesh, and the gear 409 and movable tooth 407 mesh, the rotation of the gear 409 causes the rack 405 to move horizontally. This movement of the rack 405 then causes the movable seat 402 to move horizontally along the limiting groove 401. This movement of the movable seat 402 then causes the support frame 403 to move horizontally along the limiting rod 404 until the gear 409 and the movable tooth 407 on the other side of the rack 405 mesh. 7. With the gear 409 and the movable tooth 407 meshing with each other, the movable tooth 407 is moved to swing repeatedly in the horizontal direction along the limit post 406, continuously squeezing the spring 408. Under the reset action of the spring 408, it returns to the initial position. Through the buffering effect of the movable tooth 407, the risk of overload or stall of the motor 411 due to continuous rigid meshing is avoided. At the same time, the instantaneous load of the motor 411 during commutation or start-stop is reduced, and the heat and wear caused by long-term high-load operation are reduced. Meanwhile, the gear set is protected through flexible transmission. At this time, the worktable 3 directly opposite the bottom of the support frame 403 is changed to another set of worktables 3 at the top of the base 1, which can facilitate the positioning and arrangement of the unused worktables 3.
[0029] In one embodiment, the pressing component 5 includes a cylinder 501 disposed at the top of the support frame 403. The output shaft of the cylinder 501 passes through the support frame 403 and is provided with a fixing plate 502. The top of the fixing plate 502 is evenly provided with a plurality of limiting rods 503 that pass through the support frame 403; thereby enabling the pressing operation.
[0030] The working principle of the downward pressure component 5 is as follows:
[0031] Control the cylinder 501 in the pressing assembly 5 through the control panel 2. Under the extension and retraction of the output shaft of the cylinder 501, drive the fixed plate 502 to move vertically up and down along the limit rod 503.
[0032] In one embodiment, the buffer assembly 6 includes a plurality of limiting rods 601 evenly interspersed at the bottom of the fixed plate 502. A hot press plate 602 is provided at the bottom of each limiting rod 601. A plurality of springs 603, cooperating with the limiting rods 601 and the fixed plate 502, are provided at the top of the hot press plate 602. Cylindrical shells 604, cooperating with the fixed plate 502 and the hot press plate 602, are provided on the outer sides of each spring 603. Horizontal limiting rods 605 are symmetrically arranged at the top of the hot press plate 602. Movable blocks 606 are symmetrically arranged on the outer sides of each limiting rod 605, and springs 607 are provided between two sets of movable blocks 606. Connecting rods 608, cooperating with the fixed plate 502, are provided at the top of each movable block 606. This improves the stability of the heat transfer process.
[0033] The working principle of buffer component 6 is as follows:
[0034] Under the action of the pressing component 5, the fixed plate 502 is driven to descend vertically along the second limiting rod 503. Under the descent of the fixed plate 502, the buffer component 6 is driven to descend until the hot pressure plate 602 in the buffer component 6 contacts the worktable 3. Under the continuous downward pressing action of the fixed plate 502, the fixed plate 502 is continuously brought closer to the hot pressure plate 602 along the third limiting rod 601 and squeezes the second spring 603. At the same time, the connecting rod 608 rotates, causing the two sets of movable blocks 606 on the outside of the same fourth limiting rod 605 to move closer to each other and squeeze the third spring 607. Based on the cooperation of the second spring 603 and the third spring 607, mechanical impact can be absorbed, equipment vibration can be reduced, and the stability of the hot pressure plate 602 in contact with the worktable 3 can be ensured.
[0035] It should be explained that the hot press plate 602 integrates heating elements (such as electric heating tubes or heating wires) and temperature sensors, achieving precise temperature control through the control panel 2. Its main body is made of a high thermal conductivity metal material (such as aluminum alloy or copper alloy), and has uniformly distributed heat conduction channels inside to ensure that heat is quickly conducted to the entire plate surface. The surface is usually polished or coated with Teflon to enhance wear resistance and non-stick properties. Its working principle is as follows: after being powered on, the heating element transfers heat energy to the metal substrate, and the temperature sensor monitors the plate surface temperature in real time and feeds it back to the control system for PID adjustment, so that the hot press plate is stably maintained at the set hot stamping temperature (usually 100-200℃). When the pressing component 5 drives the hot press plate 602 to contact the substrate at the worktable 3, its internal heat conduction structure can continuously compensate for heat loss. Combined with the elastic pressure of the buffer component 6, a dynamic balance between temperature and pressure is achieved, thereby completing the heat transfer of the pattern. This is existing technology and will not be explained in detail here.
[0036] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.
[0037] In practical application, firstly, the worker places the product to be processed on the workbench 3 on one side of the top of the base 1 and prepares for pattern positioning. Then, the control panel 2 controls and activates the pressing component 5. Under the action of the pressing component 5, the buffer component 6 is driven to descend until the hot pressure plate 602 in the buffer component 6 contacts the product to be processed at the top of the workbench 3. Under the continuous downward pressure of the fixed plate 502, the fixed plate 502 moves closer and closer along the limit rod 3 601 and the hot pressure plate 602, squeezing the spring 2 603. At the same time, the connecting rod 608 rotates, causing the two sets of movable blocks 606 on the outer side of the same limit rod 4 605 to move closer to each other. The compression spring 607, in conjunction with springs 603 and 604, ensures the stability of the contact between the hot press plate 602 and the product to be processed. Then, the hot press plate 602 is used to perform heat transfer printing on the product. While the heat transfer printing is being performed, the operator can prepare the pattern positioning for the next batch of products to be processed on the other workbench 3. After the heat transfer printing is completed, the control panel 2 controls and starts the adjustment component 4, which moves the support frame 403 in the adjustment component 4 along the limit rod 404 to the top of the other workbench 3, so that the processed product can be collected after cooling, and at the same time, it is convenient to carry out the next heat transfer printing operation.
[0038] The working principles of adjustment component 4, pressure component 5 and buffer component 6 are as described above.
[0039] In summary, by utilizing the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model, through the combined action of the adjusting component 4, the pressing component 5, and the buffer component 6, can efficiently and accurately transfer patterns onto the surface of various substrates. It is easy to operate and widely applicable. Uniform pressure ensures vibrant colors and strong adhesion of the pattern, improving the quality of the finished product. Furthermore, the equipment has a compact structure and low energy consumption, meeting the dual needs of small-batch customization and large-scale production, offering a cost advantage compared to traditional printing methods. The combined action of the adjusting component 4 and the buffer component 6, employing a gradual increase in pressure, achieves buffering and shock absorption during the pressing process, absorbing mechanical impact and reducing equipment vibration. This protects the integrity of the substrate and extends the machine's lifespan. The smooth transition from light to heavy pressure effectively avoids material damage caused by instantaneous high pressure, ensuring... The pattern transfer is uniform and firm; at the same time, the work process design has been optimized, supporting parallel operation mode, allowing the positioning and registration of the next heat transfer to be completed while the current heat transfer process is in progress, which greatly shortens the production interval time and improves the adaptability to the needs of continuous heat transfer; under the action of the adjustment component 4, through the cooperation design of the movable tooth 407 and the spring 408, elastic buffering can be provided when the gear 409 and the rack 405 mesh, avoiding the risk of overload or stalling of the motor 411 due to continuous rigid meshing. By absorbing mechanical shock through elastic deformation, this structure not only reduces the instantaneous load of the motor 411 during commutation or start-up and shutdown, reducing the heat and wear caused by its long-term high-load operation, but also protects the gear set through flexible transmission, extending the service life of the motor and transmission system, and improving the reliability and energy efficiency of equipment operation.
