[0002] Currently, the hot pressing of the screen printing plate is done manually, which is a semi-automatic operation. Specifically, the dummy frame S-side, which has been stretched into a mesh, is placed manually on the mold table, and then the wire mesh is manually centered on the dummy frame; then the hot-melt PE film is placed on the wire mesh, centered; finally, Teflon is covered on top, and the dummy frame is lifted flat with both hands and placed on the heating platform and the equipment is started to complete the hot pressing composite.

[0003] Existing hot-pressing lamination equipment is time-consuming to operate, and when manually feeding materials, the wire mesh and PE film are prone to slippage and misalignment due to factors such as arm tilting. After misalignment, it is necessary to rework and manually straighten and center the mesh, which not only affects the processing efficiency, but also causes the mesh to be scrapped due to the offset of the wire mesh after hot pressing and the non-centered position.

[0004] Therefore, a new type of automated hot pressing composite equipment is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a new type of automated hot-pressing laminating equipment. This solves the problem that the existing semi-automatic hot-pressing laminating machine's feeding mechanism lacks limiting for wire mesh and other components, and that during the feeding process, the wire mesh and PE film are prone to slippage and misalignment, which not only affects processing efficiency but also easily leads to a decline in the quality of the finished product.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A novel automated hot-pressing composite equipment includes a lower mold frame, a lower heating platform installed at the bottom of the lower mold frame, a first cylinder installed at the bottom of the lower heating platform, guide pillars fixed at the four corners of the top of the lower mold frame, a top frame fixed at the top of the guide pillars, a second cylinder installed at the top of the top frame, an upper mold frame fixed at the bottom of the second cylinder and at the bottom of the top frame, an upper heating platform fixed at the bottom of the upper mold frame, columns fixed at the four corners of the top of the lower mold frame, a mesh frame fixed at the top of the columns, suction cup grippers installed on both sides above the lower heating platform, and a driving mechanism installed at the bottom of the suction cup grippers.

[0007] The driving mechanism includes a slide rail and a driving rod. The slide rail is fixed to both sides of the top end of the lower mold frame. The suction cup gripper is slidably mounted on the top end of the slide rail. The driving rod rotates through the interior of the slide rail.

[0008] Preferably, the slide rail has a groove inside, the drive rod rotates through the middle of the groove, and a motor is installed at one end of the drive rod.

[0009] Preferably, a slider is fixed to the bottom end of the suction cup gripper, and a rotating hole is opened in the middle of the slider, through which the drive rod rotates.

[0010] Preferably, the lower mold frame is horizontally arranged, the lower heating platform and the upper heating platform are both horizontally arranged and aligned vertically, and the first cylinder and the second cylinder are both vertically arranged.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a novel automated hot pressing composite equipment, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention utilizes an upper and lower heating platform for hot-pressing lamination.

The lower heating platform then closes with the upper heating platform for hot-pressing lamination, effectively improving the efficiency of wire mesh hot-pressing lamination, saving manpower, and increasing the first-time success rate of plate making. All parts not described herein are identical to or can be implemented using existing technologies. This invention features a simple structure and convenient operation. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] Example 1: A novel automated hot-pressing composite equipment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the system includes a lower mold frame 1, a lower heating platform 12 installed at the bottom of the lower mold frame 1, a first cylinder 13 installed at the bottom of the lower heating platform 12, guide pillars 7 fixed at the four corners of the top of the lower mold frame 1, a top frame 10 fixed at the top of the guide pillars 7, a second cylinder 11 installed at the top of the top frame 10, an upper mold frame 9 fixed at the bottom of the second cylinder 11 and at the bottom of the top frame 10, an upper heating platform 14 fixed at the bottom of the upper mold frame 9, columns 5 fixed at the four corners of the top of the lower mold frame 1, a mesh frame 6 fixed at the top of the columns 5, suction cup grippers 3 installed on both sides above the lower heating platform 12, and a drive mechanism installed at the bottom of the suction cup grippers 3.

[0025] The drive mechanism includes a slide rail 2 and a drive rod 15. The slide rail 2 is fixed on both sides of the top of the lower mold frame 1. The suction cup gripper 3 is slidably mounted on the top of the slide rail 2. The drive rod 15 rotates through the interior of the slide rail 2.

[0026] In use, a hot-pressing composite operation is performed by setting up an upper heating platform 14 and a lower heating platform 12. The upper heating platform 14 and the lower heating platform 12 are raised and lowered by the first cylinder 13 and the second cylinder 11. At the same time, the suction cup gripper 3 is driven by the drive mechanism to move on the slide rail 2. The suction cup gripper 3 can pass over the lower heating platform 12. After the alignment camera takes a picture and recognizes it, the suction cup gripper 3 places the adsorbed wire mesh or PE film in the center on the dummy frame above the lower heating platform 12. This can effectively improve production efficiency while ensuring the integrity of the wire mesh and PE film. The membrane is centered to avoid the wire mesh being out of center after hot pressing due to tilting or unstable hand handling during manual operation, which would lead to the scrapping of the screen. Therefore, the wire mesh can be adsorbed and limited. During the feeding process, the wire mesh and PE film are centered between the upper heating platform 14 and the lower heating platform 12 to avoid slippage and misalignment between the wire mesh and PE film, thereby improving processing efficiency and the quality of the finished product. Moreover, a certain amount of material is placed at the loading end of the dummy frame. Each time, one piece enters the hot pressing composite equipment through the drive mechanism slide rail and is automatically aligned and centered in the middle of the platform. After hot pressing, it is then driven by the drive mechanism to the unloading end. Multiple dummy frames can be accumulated, thus achieving unmanned automated operation when there is sufficient material.

[0027] Example 2: A novel automated hot-pressing composite equipment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the slide rail 2 has a groove 4 inside, and the drive rod 15 rotates through the middle of the groove 4, with a motor 17 installed at one end.

[0028] The suction cup gripper 3 is slidably mounted on the frame, with the gripper located above the lower heating platform 12 (the frame is not shown). A slider 16 is fixed to the bottom of the suction cup gripper 3, and a rotating hole 18 is opened in the middle of the slider 16. The drive rod 15 rotates through the rotating hole 18.

[0029] The slide rail 2 is horizontally arranged on both sides of the lower heating platform 12, the rotating hole 18 is a threaded hole structure, and the drive rod 15 is a threaded rod structure and is horizontally arranged.

[0030] The motor 17 is mounted on one end of the slide rail 2, which is located below the lower heating platform 12.

[0031] The lower mold frame 1 is set horizontally, the lower heating platform 12 and the upper heating platform 14 are both set horizontally and aligned vertically, and the first cylinder 13 and the second cylinder 11 are both set vertically.

[0032] The guide post 7 is set vertically, and the guide sleeve 8 is fixed at the four corners of the top frame 10. The guide post 7 slides through the guide sleeve 8, and the top frame 10 is set horizontally.

[0033] The column 5 is set vertically, and the mesh frame 6 is set horizontally above the heating platform 12.

[0034] In use, the motor 17 drives the drive rod 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the slider 16 to move inside the slide groove 4, thereby driving the suction cup gripper 3 to move stably on the slide rail 2. First, the dummy frame S is placed on the mesh frame 6 with its S side facing up. The suction cup gripper 3, according to the system settings, picks up the wire mesh, PE film, etc. After being photographed and identified by the alignment camera, it is placed in the center on the dummy frame, keeping the mesh and PE in the center position. Then, the power is turned on, the lower heating platform 12 rises and lifts the dummy frame placed on the mesh frame 6, and then contacts and closes with the upper heating platform 14 for hot pressing and lamination. Finally, after the operation is completed, the dummy frame is removed, and after being left to stand, the polyester mesh is cut off. In this way, the efficiency of the wire mesh in the hot pressing and lamination operation is effectively improved, manpower is saved, and the success rate of plate making is increased.

[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
