[0029] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-8 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a heat printing device suitable for blow-fill-seal equipment, comprising a frame 4 and a heat printing mechanism 5, wherein the heat printing mechanism 5 is installed inside the frame 4;

[0032] The hot stamping mechanism 5 includes a first cylinder 503, a mold slide rail 504, a stop block 505, a mold fixing plate 507, a hot stamping mold 508, a pad block 509, a sliding groove clamping plate 511, and a heating plate 513. The first cylinder 503 is fixedly installed at one end of the frame 4. The mold slide rail 504 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the first cylinder 503. V-shaped guide grooves are provided on both sides of the mold slide rail 504, and the stop block 505 is slidably connected to the V-shaped guide grooves. The heating plate 513 is fixedly connected to the end of the mold slide rail 504 away from the first cylinder 503. V-shaped grooves are provided on both sides of the heating plate 513. A mold fixing plate 507 is provided at one end of the mold slide rail 504 away from the heating plate 513. Slide clamps 511 are provided on both sides of the mold fixing plate 507. The slide clamps 511 are slidably connected in the V-shaped groove. In the horizontal direction, the block 505 and the projection of the slide clamp 5011 are coincident. A heat printing mold 508 is provided at one end of the mold fixing plate 507 away from the heating plate 513. A pad block 509 for stopping the plastic bottle 512 is provided at intervals on one side of the heat printing mold 508 away from the mold fixing plate 507.

[0033] The heat-printing device in this embodiment of the invention transfers pre-printed markings onto the bottle surface using a heat-pressing mold, allowing the characters to be directly integrated into the plastic outer layer, thus replacing the traditional method of pasting labels. This technology ensures excellent adhesion and durability of product information (such as name, specifications, and batch number) marked on plastic ampoules, effectively avoiding problems such as missing information, label damage, and ink diffusion. Therefore, it avoids the increased management costs and risks associated with supplementing information. Simultaneously, heat-printing special markings can provide a certain degree of anti-counterfeiting, significantly improving product safety and usability.

[0034] Furthermore, when it is necessary to replace the heat-printing mold 508, the stop block 505 is installed on the mold slide rail 504, and the stop block 505 is slid along the V-shaped guide groove of the mold slide rail 504 until the stop block 505 contacts the mold fixing plate 507. Then, the heat-printing mold 508 is removed together with the mold fixing plate 507, and a new heat-printing mold is installed on the mold fixing plate 507. Afterwards, the mold fixing plate 507 and the new heat-printing mold are installed on the heating plate 513, and then the mold fixing plate 507 is slid along the V-shaped slide groove on the heating plate 513 until the mold fixing plate 507 contacts the stop block 505. At this time, the mold fixing plate 507 is in the position it was in before it was removed, and there is no need to adjust or determine its position, thus shortening the adjustment time.

[0035] Furthermore, the adjusting screw 6, which is spirally connected to the base plate 1 and located in the middle of the movable base 3, can be driven to adjust the overall position of the bottle hot stamping mechanism 5, so as to align and position the hot stamping mold 508 with the bottle.

[0036] In some embodiments of this invention, the hot stamping mechanism 5 further includes a second cylinder 510, which is disposed at the bottom end of the frame 4, and a pad 509 is disposed on the piston rod of the second cylinder 510. Further, the hot stamping mechanism 5 also includes an upper pressure plate 501 and a lower pressure plate 502. The upper pressure plate 501 is disposed on the frame 4 and located on one side of the mold fixing plate 507; the lower pressure plate 502 is disposed on the frame 4 and located below the upper pressure plate 501; the lower pressure plate 502 has clearance holes, and the pad 509 passes through the clearance holes.

[0037] It should be noted that the plastic bottle 512 includes a label portion 5121 and a liquid storage portion 5122, with the thickness of the label portion 5121 being much smaller than the thickness of the liquid storage portion 5122. During hot stamping, the plastic bottle 512 is placed horizontally between the upper pressure plate 501 and the lower pressure plate 502, with the liquid storage portion 5122 located on the lower pressure plate 502 and the label portion 5121 located on the pad 509. The hot stamping area has clearance holes to facilitate the raising and lowering of the pad, allowing adjustment of the distance between the upper surface of the pad and the lower pressure plate 502 to accommodate plastic bottles of different thicknesses.

[0038] The hot printing device also includes a feeding guide mechanism 7, which is located on one side of the frame 4, and the upper pressure plate 501 is located between the feeding guide mechanism 7 and the mold fixing plate 507.

[0039] The feeding guide mechanism 7 includes a guide plate 701, a guide groove 702, and a ball chain plate 703. The guide plates 701 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the frame 4, and the two guide plates 701 that are symmetrical on the left and right are provided with guide grooves 702. A rotatable ball chain plate 703 is provided below the guide plate 701 to prevent the plastic bottle 512 from deflecting during the conveying process, and to restrict the plastic bottle between the upper pressure plate 501 and the lower pressure plate 502 to prevent the plastic bottle from bulging during the movement.

[0040] The aforementioned guide groove 702 is made according to the specific bottle shape, which facilitates the positioning of the plastic bottle to the left and right. The ball chain plate is composed of several small balls, which can greatly reduce the resistance of the plastic bottle when feeding.

[0041] Because the heating of the heat-printing mold 508 melts the surface of the plastic bottle 512, it has a certain degree of adhesion. Therefore, it is easy for the bottle to stick to the heat-printing mold 508 when it rises and move upward together. To solve this problem, the heat-printing mechanism 5 also includes a bottle-blocking device 506. The bottle-blocking device 506 includes a sleeve, a bottle-pressing plate 5061, a spring guide rod 5062, and a compression spring 5063. The sleeve is connected to the piston rod of the first cylinder 503. The spring guide rod 5062 is slidably connected inside the sleeve. The end of the spring guide rod 5062 near the heat-printing mold 508 is connected to the bottle-pressing plate 5061. The compression spring 5063 is sleeved on the spring guide rod 5062, and the two ends of the compression spring 5063 abut against the sleeve and the bottle-pressing plate 5061, respectively. With the bottle-blocking device provided on the side of the first cylinder 503, the sleeve rises as the first cylinder 503 retracts; under the action of the compression spring 5063, the bottle-pressing plate 5061 remains in its original position, pressing on the plastic bottle 512 to prevent the plastic bottle 512 from following the heat-printing mold 508 upward, thereby facilitating the demolding of the heat-printing mold 508.

[0042] A heat-insulating guide sleeve is provided between the first cylinder 503 and the heating plate 513. The guide shafts provided on both sides of the first cylinder 503 and the second cylinder 510 can prevent the heat printing mold 508 and the pad 509 from twisting. The heat-insulating guide sleeve provided between the first cylinder 503 and the heating plate 513 can prevent excessive heat from being conducted to the first cylinder 503 and prevent it from affecting the first cylinder 503.

[0043] The hot printing device also includes a base plate 1, a guide rail 2, and a movable base 3. The guide rail 2 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 1, and the movable base 3 is movably mounted on the guide rail 2. The frame 4 is mounted on the movable base 3. An adjusting screw 6 is screwed onto the base plate 1. The adjusting screw 6 extends along the length of the guide rail 2, and one end of the adjusting screw 6 is connected to the movable base 3.

[0044] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In specific use, when the plastic bottle 512 is first hot-pressed, the plastic bottle 512 enters from the feeding guide mechanism 7, and is then guided by the guide plate 701 to position the plastic bottle 512 left and right. The plastic bottle 512 continues to move forward and enters the area between the upper pressure plate 501 and the lower pressure plate 502. When the labeling area of ​​the lower pressure plate 502 enters below the hot-pressing mold 508, the adjusting screw 6 is rotated to drive the hot-pressing mechanism 5 to move back and forth along the guide rail 2 to ensure that the hot-pressing mold 508 is aligned with the labeling area of ​​the plastic bottle 512. The position of the hot-pressing mold 508 is adjusted to be aligned left and right with the plastic bottle 512 below. The heating plate 513 located between the mold slide rail 504 and the mold fixing plate 507, through the temperature control system, sets the heating temperature range to keep the temperature of the heat printing mold 508 within the error range, ensuring the heat printing quality. During heat printing, the second cylinder 510 drives the pad block 509 to extend and support the labeling area of ​​the plastic bottle 512. Then, the first cylinder 503 extends from above, pressing the heat printing mold 508 onto the upper surface of the labeling area of ​​the plastic bottle 512. At the same time, the bottle-blocking device 506 on the side of the first cylinder 503 descends and presses down on the body of the plastic bottle 512. After a certain period of time, the first cylinder 503 retracts and raises the sleeve. Under the action of the compression spring 5063, the bottle-pressing plate 5061 remains in its original position, pressing down on the plastic bottle 512 to prevent the plastic bottle 512 from moving upward with the heat printing mold 508, thus facilitating the demolding of the heat printing mold 508, completing one heat printing operation. After heat printing, the plastic bottle 512 continues to be conveyed forward and the above actions are repeated, allowing for continuous heat printing operations.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] Please see Figure 7-8 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that this embodiment can perform double-sided heat printing on plastic bottles: Based on Embodiment 1, there are two frames 4, which are spaced apart along the length of the guide rail 2; each frame 4 is equipped with a heat printing mechanism 5; the first cylinder 503 of one heat printing mechanism 5 is located at the top of its frame 4, and the first cylinder 503 of the other heat printing mechanism 5 is located at the bottom of its frame 4. The two heat printing mechanisms 5 are used to heat print the front and back sides of the plastic bottle 512, respectively, and an auxiliary pushing mechanism 8 is fixedly installed after the reverse heat printing device 5 to facilitate the forward transport of the plastic bottle 512.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
