The hot plate assembly 300 is connected to the main body 100 and is used to generate the heat required for heat transfer. The heating surface of the hot plate assembly 300 is exposed to the main body 100.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It should be noted that the main body 100 is provided with a connected upper shell 110 and a lower shell 120, and the handle 200 is provided with a connected upper shell 210 and a lower shell 220. The upper shell 210 and the upper shell 110 are integrally formed.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It should be noted that the aforementioned hot plate assembly 300 is connected to the lower shell 120 of the main body.

[0032] In summary, in this application, the hot press 10 includes a main body 100, a handle 200, and a hot plate assembly 300. The main body 100 is provided with a connected upper body shell 110 and a lower body shell 120, and the handle 200 is provided with a connected upper handle shell 210 and a lower handle shell 220. The upper handle shell 210 and the upper body shell 110 are integrally formed. When installing the upper handle shell 210 and the upper body shell 110 of the hot press 10, they only need to be installed once and do not need to be installed separately. When the user applies force to the handle, the junction between the handle 200 and the main body 100 is not easy to crack, and there is no gap between the upper handle shell 210 and the upper body shell 110, so dirt will not accumulate, resulting in a better user experience.

[0033] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It should be noted that the upper shell 110 of the main body extends along the length of the handle 200 to the two opposite sides of the main body 100.

[0034] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 One of the upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120 is provided with a snap-fit ​​post 111, and the other is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 121, for example... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The diagram illustrates that the upper shell 110 is provided with a snap-fit ​​post 111, and the lower shell 120 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 121. The snap-fit ​​post 111 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 121, thereby fixing the upper shell 110 to the lower shell 120. It is understood that the positions of the snap-fit ​​post 111 and the snap-fit ​​groove 121 can be reversed. In this case, the snap-fit ​​post 111 is located in the lower shell 120, and the snap-fit ​​groove 121 is located in the upper shell 110. Any solution that allows the upper shell 110 to be fixedly installed in the lower shell 120 should be protected.

[0035] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 One of the upper handle shell 210 and the lower handle shell 220 is provided with a mounting post 211, and the other is provided with a mounting groove 221, for example... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The diagram illustrates that the upper handle shell 210 is provided with a mounting post 211, and the lower handle shell 220 is provided with a mounting groove 221. The mounting post 211 engages with the mounting groove 221, thus fixing the upper handle shell 210 to the lower handle shell 220. It is understood that the positions of the mounting post 211 and the mounting groove 221 can be reversed; in this case, the mounting post 211 is located in the lower handle shell 220, and the mounting groove 221 is located in the upper handle shell 210. Any solution that allows the upper handle shell 210 to be fixedly mounted to the lower handle shell 220 should be protected.

[0036] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3A latching element 212 is provided at the middle of the upper handle shell 210 along its length, and a latching element 222 is provided at the middle of the lower handle shell 220 along its length. When the upper handle shell 210 is installed on the lower handle shell 220, the latching element 222 undergoes elastic deformation, allowing the latching element 212 to engage within the latching element 222. The latching element 212 and the latching element 222 are further provided on top of the mounting post 211 and the mounting groove 221, increasing the stability of the installation of the upper handle shell 210 and the lower handle shell 220. When the user presses the handle 200 for heat transfer, the upper handle shell 210 and the lower handle shell 220 will not separate, increasing the safety of the user when using the heat press 10. It is understood that the latching element 212 and the latching element 222 can also be omitted; any solution that allows the upper handle shell 210 to be fixedly installed on the lower handle shell 220 should be protected.

[0037] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 At least one of the upper handle shell 210 and the lower handle shell 220 is provided with a support rod 213, for example Figure 2 and Figure 4 As illustrated, the lower housing 220 of the handle is equipped with a support rod 213, which extends along the upper end of the hot press 10. By providing the support rod 213, the strength of the handle 200 can be enhanced, effectively preventing the handle 200 from breaking due to force applied by the user when processing workpieces using the hot press 10. It is understood that the support rod 213 can be omitted; any design where the hot press 10 includes a handle 200 should be protected.

[0038] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It should be noted that both the upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120 are equipped with reinforcing ribs 112. By providing reinforcing ribs 112, the strength of the upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120 is enhanced, effectively preventing breakage of either the upper shell 110 or the lower shell 120 due to force applied during workpiece processing using the hot press 10. It is understandable that the reinforcing ribs 112 could be omitted; any design with an upper shell 110 and a lower shell 120 should be protected.

[0039] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4The hot press 10 includes a first heat insulation layer 400 and a second heat insulation layer 500. The first heat insulation layer 400 is disposed between the lower shell 120 and the upper shell 110, and the second heat insulation layer 500 is disposed between the hot plate assembly 300 and the lower shell 120. By further providing the second heat insulation layer 500 on top of the first heat insulation layer 400, the heat insulation effect of the hot press 10 is further enhanced, effectively preventing the heat generated by the hot plate assembly 300 from being transferred to the handle 200, thus preventing burns to the user. It is understood that the first heat insulation layer 400 and the second heat insulation layer 500 can also be omitted; any solution where the hot plate assembly 300 can generate heat should be protected.

[0040] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The hot plate assembly 300 includes a transfer plate 310 and a heating element 320. The heating element 320 is mounted on the transfer plate 310, which is provided with a support column 311 that supports the second heat insulation layer 500. By providing the support column 311, the strength of the second heat insulation layer 500 can be enhanced, effectively preventing the second heat insulation layer 500 from breaking due to the force applied to it when the user processes the workpiece using the hot press 10. It is understood that the support column 311 can also be omitted; any solution that allows the hot plate assembly 300 to generate heat should be protected.

[0041] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The transfer plate 310 is equipped with a protective shell 312, and the heating element 320 is disposed within the protective shell 312, with the shape of the protective shell 312 matching the shape of the heating element 320. By placing the heating element 320 within the protective shell 312, and by isolating it from the second heat insulation layer 500 or other components, the heating element 320 will not directly heat the second heat insulation layer 500 during operation, effectively preventing fires from igniting the second heat insulation layer 500 or other components, thus increasing the safety of using the hot press 10. It is understandable that, if safety is not a concern, the protective shell 312 may not be necessary; any method that allows the heating element 320 to generate energy should be protected.

[0042] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The hot press 10 also includes a base 600, which is located at the end of the hot plate assembly 300 away from the lower housing 120. By providing the base 600, the friction between the transfer plate 310 and the placement surface can be effectively reduced, increasing the service life of the hot press 10. It is understood that the base 600 may not be provided.
