[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a garment pattern printing device includes:

[0022] Control panel 1;

[0023] The placement section is set on the operating table 1. The placement section has two placement areas 2. Garments 3 and heat transfer paper 4 with patterns can be placed on the placement areas 2. The placement section can be moved on the operating table 1 and the positions of the two placement areas 2 can be adjusted.

[0024] The hot pressing unit is set on the operating table 1. The transfer area is directly below the hot pressing unit. When the placement area 2 enters directly below the transfer area, the hot pressing unit can heat the heat transfer paper 4 in the placement area 2 and transfer the pattern on the heat transfer paper 4 onto the garment 3.

[0025] Furthermore, the placement section includes a placement plate 5, two placement areas 2 are disposed on the upper surface of the placement plate 5, a guide rail 6 is disposed on the lower surface of the placement plate 5, a sliding groove that mates with the guide rail 6 is provided on the upper surface of the operating table 1, handles 7 are respectively disposed at both ends of the side of the placement plate, and limit plates 8 are respectively disposed at both ends of the operating table 1. When any end of the placement plate 5 contacts the limit plate 8, the placement area 2 away from the limit plate 8 is located within the transfer area.

[0026] The placement plate 5 can be made of metal or plastic. When it is made of metal, it can be welded from an aluminum plate and a frame. When it is made of plastic, engineering plastics such as polyimide or polyphenylene sulfide can be selected. When the pattern is heat-transferred onto the garment 3, if the material of the garment 3 is cotton or mainly cotton, the required heat transfer temperature is about 180°C and the time is about 15 seconds. Polyimide or polyphenylene sulfide has a short-term temperature resistance of more than 250°C and will not release harmful chemicals when heated, which meets the requirements of safe production. Short-term usually refers to 5 to 10 minutes.

[0027] The guide rail 6 and the placement plate 5 can be manufactured as one piece, or they can be connected together by bolts later. The guide rail 6 can be made of nylon plastic. The tabletop of the operating table 1 is made of metal. The nylon plastic guide rail 6 can reduce the friction between the guide rail and the slide, making it easier to control the movement of the placement plate 5 on the operating table 1.

[0028] The movement of the placement plate 5 can be easily controlled by the two handles 7. When working, the staff can stand between the two handles 7. When the staff controls the movement of the placement plate 5 by using the handles 7, they do not need to move themselves. They can choose the handle 7 that is closest to or furthest from them to move the placement plate 5 according to their own conditions.

[0029] When moving the placement plate 5, it is necessary to avoid moving the placement plate 5 too fast. This is because if the impact force between the placement plate 5 and the limiting plate 8 is too large after the garment 3 and the heat transfer paper 4 are placed in the placement area 2, it is easy to cause a large change in the position of the heat transfer paper 4, resulting in misalignment of the pattern on the garment 3 and thus defective products in the transfer. Therefore, it is necessary to manually control the moving speed of the placement plate 5 to avoid moving the placement plate 5 too fast, so that the garment 3 and the heat transfer paper 4 can be moved stably into the transfer area.

[0030] Furthermore, grooves are provided on both sides of the placement plate 5, and magnets 9 are provided inside the grooves. The magnets 9 can be magnetically attracted to the limiting plate 8.

[0031] The limiting plate 8 itself is not magnetic, but it can be attracted by the magnet 9. The limiting plate 8 is made of iron. When the magnet 9 and the limiting plate 8 are magnetically attracted, the position of the placement plate 5 is fixed by the magnet 9 and the limiting plate 8. The position of the placement plate 5 will not shake, but the magnetic force is also small and can only position the placement plate 5. After the heat transfer of the pattern is completed, the staff can easily separate the magnet 9 from the limiting plate 8.

[0032] The limit plate 8 is connected to the operating table 1 by bolts, and the handle 7 is connected to the placement plate 5 by threads. When maintaining the placement plate 5, the handle 7 can be removed from the side of the placement plate 5 first, and then one of the limit plates 8 can be removed from the operating table 1. At this time, the placement plate 5 can be removed from the operating table 1.

[0033] Furthermore, the hot pressing unit includes a support frame 10 mounted on the operating table 1. A movable plate 11 is mounted on the lower surface of the support frame 10, and a ceramic heating plate 12 is mounted on the lower surface of the movable plate 11. A fixed rod 13 is mounted on the upper surface of the movable plate 11, passing through the support frame 10 and slidably connected to the support frame 10. A sleeve 14 is mounted on the support frame 10 and slidably connected to the fixed rod 13. A spring 15 is mounted on the fixed rod 13 and is located between the movable plate 11 and the support frame 10. An electric push rod 16 is mounted on the support frame 10, and the output end of the electric push rod 16 passes through the support frame 10 and is fixedly connected to the movable plate 11.

[0034] The surface of the movable plate 11 is a metal sheet, and the interior is a metal frame. The ceramic heating plate 12 is electrically heated and equipped with a temperature controller. The temperature controller can detect the surface temperature of the ceramic heater and control the temperature of the ceramic heating plate, so that the temperature of the lower surface of the ceramic heating plate 12 is at a suitable temperature, such as 180℃±5℃. The area that the ceramic heating plate 12 can process is smaller than the area of ​​the placement area 2. Therefore, the excess part in the placement area 2 can be used to place the excess part of the garment 3, so that the area to be transferred in the garment 3 can be as flat as possible, thereby improving the quality of the transferred pattern.

[0035] The electric push rod 16 is controlled by a controller, and all springs 15 are always in a compressed state. Under normal conditions, the springs 15 can push the movable plate 11 and the ceramic heating plate 12 downward, and press the ceramic heating plate 12 onto the heat transfer paper 4 and the garment 3 through the elastic force of the springs 15. The electric push rod 16 extends and retracts by the same length each time. The electric push rod 16 can control the speed at which the movable plate 11 and the ceramic heating plate 12 move upward or downward. For garments 3 made of different materials, the time interval between the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 16 can be adjusted. The time interval can also be adjusted by the controller. For garments 3 made of cotton or mainly made of cotton, the contact time between the ceramic heating plate 12 and the garment 3 is 15 seconds. After 15 seconds, the electric push rod 16 controls its output end to retract. If the material of the garment 3 is mainly made of polyester, the contact time is 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, the electric push rod 16 controls its output end to retract.

[0036] The connection between the electric push rod 16 and the movable plate 11 can also be made by a metal chain. That is, the electric push rod 16 can only provide tension to the movable plate 11, and the downward pressure applied to the garment 3 and the heat transfer paper is provided by the spring 15, so as to facilitate the processing of garments 3 of different thicknesses without the need to adjust the extension length of the electric push rod 16. When the downward pressure is applied to the movable plate 11 by the spring 15, the metal chain is in a partially extended state, and the electric push rod 16 does not provide downward pressure to the movable plate 11.

[0037] A position sensor can be installed inside the support plate, or contact sensors can be installed at both ends of the placement plate 5. When the garment 3 in the placement area 2 reaches directly below the ceramic heating plate 12, or when any end of the placement plate 5 contacts the limiting plate 8, the position sensor or contact sensor is triggered. At this time, the electric push rod 16 can be started under the action of the sensor and push the movable plate 11 and the ceramic heating plate 12 downward until it extends a certain length. Then the output end of the electric push rod 16 stops extending and waits for a predetermined time. After that, the output end of the electric push rod 16 retracts to facilitate the processing of the next garment 3.

[0038] Sleeve 14 can increase stability when moving with fixed rod 13.

[0039] Furthermore, a through groove is provided in the middle of the operating table 1, and drawers 17 are provided at both ends of the through groove, with baffles 18 provided on the sides of the drawers 17.

[0040] Tools or heat transfer paper 4 can be placed in drawer 17 for easy access by staff, while baffle 18 prevents drawer 17 from entering the through groove.

[0041] When the garment 3 and heat transfer paper 4 in the placement area 2 are directly below the ceramic heating plate 12, the distance between the ceramic heating plate 12 and the heat transfer paper 4 is about 5cm before the electric push rod 16 pushes the movable plate 11 downward. This controls the distance between the ceramic heating plate 12 and the heat transfer paper 4, ensuring that the garment 3 and the heat transfer paper 4 can be moved intact under the ceramic heating plate 12, and also effectively reducing the risk of workers' hands touching the ceramic heating plate 12.

[0042] Clothing item 3 includes T-shirts, shirts, and sweatshirts.

[0043] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
