The drive assembly drives the first material loading plate and the second material loading plate to move back and forth alternately between the loading position and the working position along the conveying assembly.

[0007] When the driving component drives the material loading mechanism to move, the second material loading plate moves linearly along the conveying component, while the first material loading plate and the second material loading plate move towards each other and the first material loading plate moves down and then up along the conveying component.

[0008] When the drive component drives the material loading mechanism to move, the first material loading plate and the second material loading plate rotate around the conveying component, so that the first material loading plate and the second material loading plate move back and forth between the loading position and the working position.

[0009] As described above, in the automatic hot ironing machine, the conveying assembly includes a guide plate, the guide plate is provided with a guide groove that is low in the middle and high on both sides, the first material plate is provided with a guide component, the guide component cooperates with the guide groove to make the first material plate and the second material plate move alternately when the first material plate moves relative to the second material plate.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 An automatic hot stamping machine is shown, including a machine base 1. The machine base 1 is provided with a material loading mechanism 2, a drive assembly 5, a conveying assembly 4, and a hot stamping mechanism 3 that can be lifted and moved. The machine base 1 has a loading position and a working position. The hot stamping mechanism 3 is located above the working position. The material loading mechanism 2 includes a first material loading plate 21 and a second material loading plate 22. The drive assembly 5 drives the first material loading plate 21 and the second material loading plate 22 to move back and forth alternately between the loading position and the working position along the conveying assembly 4. With the structure of this utility model, since a first and a second material carrier plate are provided, the drive component can drive the first and second material carrier plates to move back and forth alternately along the conveying component. After the fabric is placed on the material carrier mechanism, the machine is started. The first or second material carrier plate moves to the bottom of the ironing mechanism. At this time, the ironing mechanism moves down to iron the fabric. After the ironing is completed, the ironing mechanism moves up, and the material carrier mechanism moves again to iron the fabric for the next time. This back-and-forth motion is carried out to realize automatic ironing. There is no need for manual ironing of every part of the fabric, resulting in high production efficiency and significantly improved productivity.

[0030] As a specific implementation and not a limitation, in order to achieve the staggered reciprocating motion of the first loading plate 21 and the second loading plate 22, when the driving component 5 drives the loading mechanism 2 to move, the second loading plate 22 moves linearly along the conveying component 4, while the first loading plate 21 and the second loading plate 22 move towards each other, and the first loading plate 21 moves down and then up along the conveying component 4. The conveying component 4 includes a guide plate 41, which has guide grooves 411 that are lower in the middle and higher on both sides. The first loading plate 21 has a guide component 211, which cooperates with the guide grooves 411 to make the first loading plate 21 and the second loading plate 22 move alternately when the first loading plate 21 moves relative to the second loading plate 22. The guide groove 411 has a shape that is low in the middle and high on both sides. When the machine is started, the first material plate 21 and the second material plate 22 move towards each other. When the first material plate 21 moves to the lowest point of the guide groove 411, the height of the first material plate 21 is lower than the height of the second material plate 22. Therefore, the first material plate 21 passes through the bottom of the second material plate 22, realizing the staggered movement of the first material plate 21 and the second material plate 22. In order to better guide, the guide assembly 211 includes a fixed plate connected to the first material plate 21. The other end of the fixed plate is fixed with a guide post that cooperates with the guide groove 411 for guidance. The guide post is equipped with a bearing, so that the guide post moves more smoothly along the guide groove 411 and provides better guidance.

[0031] Furthermore, in order to achieve smooth movement of the first material carrier plate 21 and the second material carrier plate 22, the conveying assembly 4 includes guide rail fixing plates 42 disposed on both sides of the guide plate 41. The guide rail fixing plate 42 is provided with a first translation guide rail assembly 43 on the side closer to the guide plate 41, and a second translation guide rail assembly 44 on the side away from the guide plate 41. The first material carrier plate 21 is slidably connected to the first translation guide rail assembly 43, and the second material carrier plate 22 is slidably connected to the second translation guide rail assembly 44. The first translation guide rail assembly 43 and the second translation guide rail assembly 44 are both composed of guide rails and sliders. The guide rails are fixed on the guide rail fixing plate 42, and the sliders can slide along the guide rails. An extension plate is fixed on the slider. One end of the extension plate is fixed on the material loading mechanism 2, and the other end is fixed on the conveyor belt. When the drive motor 51 on the drive assembly 5 drives the conveyor belt 52 to move, the conveyor belt 52 simultaneously drives the first material loading plate 21 and the second material loading plate 22 to move in opposite directions. The first material loading plate 21 is connected to four first translation guide rail assemblies 43, and the second material loading plate 22 is also connected to four second translation guide rail assemblies 44, making the support more stable.

[0032] Furthermore, to ensure smooth lifting and lowering of the first material carrier plate 21 as it moves along the guide groove on the guide plate 41, a lifting guide rail assembly 45 is provided on the first translation guide rail assembly 43. The lifting guide rail assembly 45 cooperates with and is fixed to the first material carrier plate 21, allowing the first material carrier plate 21 to move up and down along the lifting guide rail assembly 45. Because of the guide assembly 211 on the first material carrier plate 21, which cooperates with the guide groove 411, when the first material carrier plate 21 moves to the middle of the guide groove 411, it is in a descending state. The lifting guide rail assembly 45 effectively guides the first material carrier plate 21, making it more stable during lifting and lowering.

[0033] As a specific implementation and not a limitation, the material loading mechanism 2 can also move in the following manner: when the driving component 5 drives the material loading mechanism 2 to move, the first material loading plate 21 and the second material loading plate 22 rotate around the conveying component 4, so that the first material loading plate 21 and the second material loading plate 22 move back and forth between the loading position and the working position.

[0034] As a specific implementation and not a limitation, in order to keep the hot spots of the rapid soldering iron 31 on the same plane during the hot-pressing process, the hot-pressing mechanism 3 includes a soldering iron fixing plate 32 and a plurality of rapid soldering irons 31 fixed on the soldering iron fixing plate 32. Each of the plurality of rapid soldering irons 31 is provided with a soldering iron fixing seat 311, a soldering iron tip 313 inclinedly disposed on the soldering iron fixing seat 311, and a fixing post 312 inserted into the soldering iron fixing seat 311. One end of the fixing post 312 away from the soldering iron fixing seat 311 is fixed to the locking member 34. The soldering iron fixing seat 311 can rotate circumferentially and move axially relative to the fixing post 312. An elastic member 314 is sleeved on the fixing post 312. One end of the elastic member 314 abuts against the soldering iron fixing seat 311, and the other end abuts against the locking member (34). When adjustment of the rapid soldering iron 31 is needed, simply rotate the soldering iron holder 311 to adjust the position of the rapid soldering iron, thereby achieving soldering at different locations. Furthermore, an elastic element 314, a type of spring, is fitted onto the fixing post 312. Since the soldering iron holder 311 can move axially along the fixing post 312, during soldering, multiple rapid soldering irons 31 simultaneously abut against the fabric. Due to the elasticity of the elastic component, the rapid soldering irons 31 can compensate for height differences, ensuring that the soldering tips 313 of multiple rapid soldering irons form solder joints on the same plane. The elastic element 314 also acts as a buffer. In addition, this rapid soldering iron 31 is a high-speed soldering iron, which heats up rapidly when powered on and dissipates heat quickly after power is turned off.

[0035] As a specific implementation and not a limitation, in order to flexibly adjust the position of the rapid soldering iron 31, a soldering iron fixing plate 32 and multiple rapid soldering irons 31 are provided. The soldering iron fixing plate 32 is provided with multiple fixing slots 321, and the multiple rapid soldering irons 31 correspond one-to-one with the multiple fixing slots 321. The rapid soldering iron 31 can move along the fixing slots 321. The rapid soldering iron 31 is provided with a locking member 34 that cooperates with the fixing slots 321 for fixation. This locking member 34 can be fixed by a double nut. Specifically, the first nut is set on the fixing post 312, which is inserted into the fixing slot 321. By tightening the second nut, the first nut and the second nut cooperate to clamp and fix the rapid soldering iron 31 on the fixing plate 32. When the position of the rapid soldering iron needs to be adjusted, the nuts are loosened, and the fixing post 312 is moved along the fixing slot 321. After moving to the appropriate position, it is fixed by the locking member 34.

[0036] Furthermore, to enable the hot stamping mechanism to perform hot stamping more flexibly, the hot stamping mechanism 3 also includes a lifting mechanism 33. One end of the lifting mechanism 33 is fixedly connected to the soldering iron fixing plate 32, and the other end is connected to the machine base 1. The lifting mechanism 33 is used to drive the hot stamping mechanism 3 to perform lifting and lowering movements. The lifting mechanism 33 can adapt to different heights.

[0037] As a specific implementation method and not a limitation, in order to facilitate the user's placement of fabric and to accommodate fabrics of different shapes, the prefabricated plate 7, the first carrier plate 21, and the second carrier plate 22 are all provided with fixing frames 23. The fixing frames 23 are used to fix the prefabricated plate 7. The prefabricated plate 7 is provided with prefabricated grooves 71 for fixing the fabric. The prefabricated plate 7 can be cardboard. During operation, a prefabricated groove 71 with the same shape and size as the fabric to be ironed is cut into the prefabricated plate 7. The prefabricated plate 7 is placed on the first carrier plate 21 or the second carrier plate 22 and fixed by the fixing frames. Then, the fabric to be ironed is placed in the prefabricated groove 71. The prefabricated groove 71 limits the position of the fabric, making it less likely to deviate.

[0038] Furthermore, the driving assembly 5 includes a drive motor 51 and a conveyor belt 52. The conveyor belt 52 is disposed on both sides of the guide rail fixing plate 42, and one end of the first translation guide rail assembly 43 and the second translation guide rail assembly 44 is fixed to the conveyor belt 52. The drive motor 51 drives the conveyor belt 52 to move, and the first translation guide rail assembly 43 and the second translation guide rail assembly 44 are connected and fixed to the conveyor belt 52, thereby driving the first material carrier plate 21 and the second material carrier plate 22 to move.

[0039] As a specific implementation and not a limitation, the machine base 1 is also provided with a protective cover 11 covering the conveying assembly 4 to protect the conveying assembly 4 and prevent the external environment from affecting the conveying assembly 4. It also includes a first inductive switch 6 located on the outside of the guide rail fixing plate 42 and a second inductive switch for sensing whether the lifting mechanism 33 is in position.

[0040] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0041] When fabric needs to be ironed, the prefabricated plate 7 is hollowed out with a prefabricated groove 71 according to the size and shape of the fabric to be ironed. The prefabricated plate is placed on the first carrier plate 21 and the second carrier plate 22. The fabric is placed in the prefabricated groove 71. The machine is started, and the first carrier plate 21 and the second carrier plate 22 move towards each other. When they pass the lowest point of the guide groove 411 in the guide plate 41, the first carrier plate 21 and the second carrier plate 22 move alternately. When the first induction switch 6 senses that the second carrier plate 22 is in position, the ironing mechanism 3 descends until the second induction switch 8 senses that it is in position. At this time, multiple fast soldering irons 31 start to heat up and iron the fabric. After the ironing is completed, the ironing mechanism 3 rises to the highest position. Finally, the first carrier plate 21 and the second carrier plate 22 move alternately again. The above steps are repeated to achieve automated ironing.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
