Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing technology, specifically to a thermal transfer printing device. Background Technology

[0002] Thermal transfer printing is a printing technology that transfers patterns or text onto a substrate using heat. It uses the heat generated by the thermal transfer printhead to transfer the ink or toner on the thermal transfer film containing the pattern or text to the surface of the substrate (such as paper, cloth, plastic, etc.), thereby forming a clear pattern or text.

[0003] In existing printing equipment, the heat transfer film is typically heated directly during the printing process. This can lead to incomplete ink transfer from the heat transfer film to the substrate, resulting in ink residue. This not only affects the clarity and aesthetics of the printed image but can also cause inconsistent print quality and increase the scrap rate. Therefore, a new technical solution is proposed to address this issue. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a thermal transfer printing device that solves the problem mentioned in the background art. Existing printing devices basically heat the thermal transfer film directly and print, which may result in the ink not being able to be completely transferred from the thermal transfer film to the substrate, affecting the clarity and aesthetics of the printed pattern, and may also lead to unstable printing quality and increased scrap rate.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a thermal transfer printing device, comprising a housing, two round rods fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing, a heat-conducting cylinder rotatably connected to the outer side of the round rods, an electric heating tube fixedly connected to the inner side of one of the round rods, a linear guide rail fixedly connected to the inner top of the housing, a slider slidably connected to the surface of the linear guide rail, an electric push rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider, a printing plate fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod, and an electric heating plate fixedly connected to the inner side of the printing plate.

[0006] In this technical solution, an electric heating tube and a heat-conducting cylinder are used to preheat the heat transfer film. The printing plate, which has an internal electric heating plate, heats the heat transfer film, reducing ink residue, facilitating ink removal, increasing the clarity and aesthetics of the printed pattern, and improving printing quality and efficiency.

[0007] Preferably, the inner bottom of the housing has a slot, the inner side of the slot is slidably connected to an insert plate, and the top edge of the insert plate is rotatably connected to a pressure frame via a hinge.

[0008] Preferably, a touch switch is embedded in the inner wall of the slot, and two heating fans are fixedly connected to the top of the housing.

[0009] Preferably, a toggle groove is provided on the side wall of the housing on one side of the slot, a limit block is slidably connected to the inner side of the toggle groove, a spring is fixedly connected between the limit block and the inner side wall of the toggle groove, one end of the toggle groove is connected to the slot, and a limit groove is provided at the edge of the side wall of the insert plate.

[0010] Preferably, two winding rollers are rotatably connected to the inner side of the housing, and the two winding rollers are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the heat transfer film, and the heat transfer film passes through the surface of the heat-conducting cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, a pin is movably inserted into the outer side wall of the insert plate, and the pin passes through the side wall of the insert plate and is slidably connected to the pressure frame.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model preheats the heat transfer film by setting an electric heating tube and a heat-conducting cylinder, and heats the heat transfer film in conjunction with a printing plate with an internal electric heating plate, which reduces ink residue.

[0025] A thermal transfer printing device, see Figures 1 to 5The device includes a housing 1, with two take-up rollers 2 rotatably connected to the inner side of the housing 1. The two take-up rollers 2 are fixedly connected to both ends of a heat transfer film 3. One take-up roller 2 is responsible for releasing the heat transfer film 3, and the other is responsible for winding it up. The winding roller 2 is equipped with a drive motor for winding. The heat transfer film 3 passes over the surface of a heat-conducting cylinder 203. Two round rods 201 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, and the heat-conducting cylinder 203 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the round rods 201. An electric heating tube 202 is fixedly connected to the inner side of one of the round rods 201. When the heat transfer film 3 is released from the take-up rollers 2, it passes over the surface of the heat-conducting cylinder 203 on one of the round rods 201. The electric heating tube 202 on the inner side of the round rod 201 heats up when energized, and the heat generated is conducted to the heat-conducting cylinder 203, thus preheating the heat transfer film and facilitating subsequent ink removal. Compared to direct heating and printing, this device makes ink removal easier, reduces ink residue, and improves printing quality and efficiency.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a touch switch 8 is embedded in the inner wall of the slot 101, and two heating fans 9 are fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1. After the insert plate 7 is inserted, the touch switch 8 will be triggered. The touch switch 8 is used to control the opening and closing of the heating fan 9. After the heating fan 9 is started, it will blow hot air downwards to heat the heat transfer film 3. Combined with the preheating method, it is more convenient for the ink to be removed.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, a linear guide rail 4 is fixedly connected to the inner top of the housing 1. A slider 401 is slidably connected to the surface of the linear guide rail 4. An electric push rod 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 401. A printing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 5. An electric heating plate 601 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the printing plate 6. After the paper is fixed, the electric push rod 5 is activated to drive the printing plate 6 to descend, pushing the heat transfer film 3 to contact the paper. At this time, the slider 401 moves along the linear guide rail 4, so that the ink on the heat transfer film 3 is printed onto the paper. The linear guide rail 4 is designed to scrape back and forth multiple times, thereby further improving the printing efficiency and reducing ink residue.

[0028] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a slot 101 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1. An insert plate 7 is slidably connected to the inner side of the slot 101. The top edge of the insert plate 7 is rotatably connected to a pressure frame 701 via a hinge. A pin 703 is movably inserted into the outer side wall of the insert plate 7. The pin 703 passes through the side wall of the insert plate 7 and is slidably connected to the pressure frame 701. When placing paper, the pressure frame 701 is opened, and then the paper is placed in. Then the pressure frame 701 is closed and the pin 703 is inserted. At this time, the insert plate 7 is inserted into the slot 101, which can ensure the stability of the paper during the printing process.

[0029] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a toggle groove 10 is provided on the side wall of the housing 1 on one side of the slot 101. A limit block 12 is slidably connected to the inner side of the toggle groove 10. A spring 11 is fixedly connected between the limit block 12 and the inner side wall of the toggle groove 10. One end of the toggle groove 10 is connected to the slot 101. A limit groove 702 is provided at the edge of the side wall of the insert plate 7. After the insert plate 7 is broken and inserted, the limit groove 702 will be aligned with the toggle groove 10. At this time, the limit block 12 will be pushed into the limit groove 702 under the push of the spring 11, thereby completing the limiting and fixing of the insert plate 7 and ensuring the stability of the insert plate 7.
