Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of transfer paper soaking mechanism, and in particular relates to a transfer paper soaking module and soaking mechanism. [Background Technology]

[0002] Many products require labels to be affixed to their packaging to display brand, product, and manufacturer information. Currently, one product, a bottle, requires decorative paper to be applied to its surface. After the design and printing are completed, the decorative paper is cut into individual pieces according to its size and then stacked to serve as the material for labeling. Since decorative paper typically consists of two layers—a bottom film and an adhesive sticker on top—the bottom film is not needed when applying it to the bottle. Therefore, the decorative paper needs to be soaked in water to separate the sticker from the bottom film.

[0003] Existing technologies include patent CN208760168U, which discloses an automatic decal laminating machine, and patent CN112960228B, which discloses an integrated automatic decal feeding, soaking, and labeling device. Both patents disclose a decal soaking mechanism, which is relatively complex and occupies a large space. Patent CN218892817U also discloses a label soaking module, which is significantly smaller in size compared to the decal soaking mechanisms in the previous two patents, but the overall size is still large. In addition, in order to open and close the cover plate during the lifting and lowering of the soaking carrier plate, a relatively complex drive mechanism is designed in the soaking mechanism, resulting in a complex overall structure, high manufacturing cost, and high maintenance difficulty.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new high-temperature water immersion module and immersion mechanism for transfer printing paper to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. [Utility Model Content]

[0005] One of the main objectives of this utility model is to provide a transfer printing paper soaking module that occupies little space, has low manufacturing cost, and a simple structure.

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This embodiment is a transfer printing paper soaking mechanism 100, which includes a support base 1, a heating plate 2 disposed on the support base 1, a water tank 3 disposed on the heating plate 2, and a plurality of soaking modules 4 arranged along the long side of the water tank 3.

[0030] The heating plate 2 is used to heat the water tank 3 to ensure that the water temperature in the water tank 3 is within the set range to meet the requirements of the label immersion process.

[0031] Water tank 3 is connected to a water circulation device (not shown in the figure). The water circulation device automatically replenishes water according to the water level in water tank 3 and replaces the water in water tank 3 periodically.

[0032] To simplify the overall structure of the soaking mechanism, primarily to simplify the structure of the soaking module 4 and reduce the overall volume of the soaking mechanism 100, this embodiment features an optimized design for the soaking module 4. Specifically:

[0033] The soaking module 4 includes a drive unit 41, a soaking carrier 42 driven by the drive unit 41 to move up and down, and a cover 43 disposed above the soaking carrier 42. The drive unit 41 drives the soaking carrier 42 to move up and down, so as to switch the position of the soaking carrier 42 between the water level of the water tank 3. Below the water level, the soaking carrier 42 is in a closed state, carrying the decal for soaking; above the water level, the soaking carrier 42 is in an open state so that the decal picking mechanism can remove the decal.

[0034] The soaking carrier 42 includes a carrier plate 421 and a pair of cover plates 423 rotatably mounted on the carrier plate 421 via a pivot 422. The side of the cover plate 423 furthest from the center of the carrier plate 421 is pulled upwards by a pair of elastic members 424, while the side of the cover plate 423 closest to the center of the carrier plate 421 is pressed downwards to maintain a closed state. The elastic members 424 ensure that the cover plate 423 remains closed unless acted upon by other external forces, thus ensuring that the decal is held in place and its position is stable after it sinks into the water tank 3 with the carrier plate 421, preventing it from shifting due to water. The side of the cover plate 423 held by the elastic members 424 and the side closest to the center of the carrier plate 421 are located on opposite sides of the pivot 422, forming a lever structure with the pivot 422 as the lever axis.

[0035] The carrier plate 421 includes a base plate 4211 for supporting the decals, side plates 4212 located on the left and right sides of the base plate 4211, and a support plate 4213 located on top of the side plates 4212. The base plate 4211 has several perforated holes 42111. The actuating end of the driving component 41 is connected to the support plate 4213. Both ends of the rotating shaft 422 are mounted on the side plates 4212. The base plate 4211 has a recessed structure that supports the decals.

[0036] The cover plate 423 includes a cardboard 4231 and a sponge 4232 disposed below the cardboard 4231. The cover plate 423 holds and fixes the decal paper by the sponge 4232, while the water absorption of the sponge 4232 keeps the surface of the decal paper fully moistened.

[0037] A mounting block 425 is provided on the top of the side plate 4212. One end of the elastic element 424 is fixed on the mounting block 425 and the other end is hung on the cover plate 423.

[0038] The opening component 43 is provided with two sets of rollers corresponding to the two cover plates 423 respectively. The opening component 43 includes a mounting bracket 431 and rollers 432 rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 431 and acting on the cover plates 423. In this embodiment, a pair of rollers 432 are provided on both the front and rear sides above the soaking carrier 42. During the upward movement of the soaking carrier 42, the rollers 432 press down and hold the side of the cover plate 423 that is held by the elastic member 424, so that the side of the cover plate 423 near the center of the carrier plate 421 tilts upward and remains open.

[0039] In this embodiment, multiple soaking modules 4 are provided and arranged along the long side of the water tank 3. By setting multiple soaking modules 4, multiple colored papers can be soaked simultaneously, with each soaking module 4 responsible for soaking one colored paper, which can be removed after soaking. On the other hand, when designing the paper placement and transfer path, the transfer can be designed along the short side of the water tank 3, thereby shortening the movement distance of the colored paper from the feeding station to the soaking station, improving cycle time, and reducing the space occupied by the equipment.

[0040] The driving component 41 is located below the support base 1; the movable end of the driving component 41 is provided with a movable plate 44, and a pair of support rods 45 are provided on the movable plate 44. The support plates 4213 on the left and right sides of the carrier plate 421 extend outside the water tank 3, and the top of the support rods 45 are fixedly connected to the support plates 4213; the support rods 45 pass through the support base 1 from the outside of the water tank 3.

[0041] In this embodiment, each soaking module 4 is only responsible for carrying water for one piece of decal, which reduces the size of a single soaking module 4 and the overall volume. Furthermore, in the lifting drive of the soaking module 4, only one drive component 41 can be used to achieve stable lifting, eliminating the need for two drive cylinders and saving costs.

[0042] The working principle of the transfer printing paper soaking mechanism 100 in this embodiment is as follows: the heating plate 2 heats the water tank 3, so that the water temperature in the water tank 3 is maintained within a set range. The driving member 41 drives the soaking carrier 42 to a high position. At the high position, the rolling roller 432 presses down on the side of the cover plate 423 that is pulled upward by the elastic member 424, so that the side of the cover plate 423 near the center of the carrier plate 421 is tilted upward and kept in an open state. After the transfer paper is put in, the driving member 41 drives the soaking carrier 42 to move downward to a low position. During the process of moving from the high position to below the rolling roller 432, the side of the cover plate 423 that is pulled upward by the elastic element 424 gradually loses the downward pressing force of the rolling roller 432. Under the action of the elastic element 424, the cover plate 423 gradually returns to the closed state. When the cover plate 423 is completely moved below the rolling roller 432, the cover plate 423 is completely closed and then sinks into the water tank 3 for immersion. After the immersion time reaches the set time, it moves upward to the high position again and repeats the next cycle.

[0043] For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
