Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cup warming machine technology, and specifically to a cup warming machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for customized products, small household cup warmers are becoming more and more popular. In some scenarios, these small cup warmers use a fixed structure, requiring users to manually adjust the position and angle of the cup to align and transfer the pattern. While this method is adequate for warming small areas or simple patterns, it becomes significantly more difficult when dealing with large areas requiring continuous warming or complex patterns with angular differences. Users need to manually rotate the cup multiple times during the warming process, which is not only inefficient but also prone to causing overlapping, misalignment, or seams due to angular deviations, affecting the quality of the finished product. Furthermore, the frequent contact with high-temperature components during manual operation poses a risk of burns.

[0003] Therefore, this application studies a cup hot stamping machine that enables convenient hot stamping, improves hot stamping accuracy, and enhances safety during use. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to facilitate hot stamping, improve hot stamping accuracy, and enhance safety, this application provides a cup hot stamping machine.

[0005] This application provides a cup warmer, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A cup warming machine includes a cup warming pad, a drive mechanism, a transmission bracket, and a rotating mechanism. The transmission bracket is connected between the output end of the drive mechanism and the cup warming pad. The drive mechanism drives the transmission bracket to move the cup warming pad to cover or release the cup. The cup warming pad is arranged around the outer periphery of the rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism drives the cup to rotate and be positioned. The drive mechanism and the rotating mechanism alternately control the covering and releasing actions of the cup warming pad and the rotation action of the cup.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving mechanism drives the hot stamping pad to wrap around the cup for hot stamping. After the hot stamping is completed, it is released. Then, the rotating mechanism rotates the cup to the correct angle. When the cup reaches the correct position, the driving mechanism drives the hot stamping pad to wrap around the cup again for hot stamping. The above operation is repeated until the hot stamping is completed. This realizes the automatic wrapping and release of the hot stamping pad and the automatic rotation and positioning of the cup, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of hot stamping. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for manual rotation, thus improving safety during use.

[0008] Optionally, the driving mechanism includes a geared motor and a lead screw, the lead screw being screwed to the transmission bracket, and the geared motor driving the lead screw to move the transmission bracket in a straight line, thereby causing the warming coaster to cover or release the cup.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the motion precision of the hot stamping coaster when covering and releasing the cup is ensured, the stability and reliability of the hot stamping process are improved, and the uniformity and consistency of the hot stamping pattern are further enhanced.

[0010] Optionally, the driving mechanism further includes a limit switch, which is disposed at the initial end and the end of the travel of the transmission bracket. When the limit switch senses that the hot coaster has reached the covering or releasing limit, the driving mechanism stops driving.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, excessive movement of the hot stamping coaster is effectively prevented, thus avoiding equipment damage and stamping errors.

[0012] Optionally, the warming coaster has an opening along its length, the transmission bracket is connected to one side of the opening, and the driving mechanism drives the transmission bracket to move the warming coaster on one side of the opening closer to or away from the warming coaster on the other side of the opening, so that the warming coaster covers or releases the cup.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to better adapt to cups of different sizes, improve the versatility and adaptability of the equipment, and simplify the operation process.

[0014] Optionally, the transmission bracket includes a movable seat and a connecting seat. The movable seat is connected to the driving mechanism, and the connecting seat is connected to the hot cup pad on one side of the opening. A connecting rod is provided between the connecting seat and the movable seat, and an elastic element is sleeved on the connecting rod.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the elasticity of the hot stamping coaster is increased when it covers the cup, ensuring the uniform distribution of stamping pressure, improving the stamping quality, and extending the service life of the hot stamping coaster.

[0016] Optionally, it also includes a fixing frame having a fixing part extending along the outer periphery of the warming pad on the side opposite to the driving mechanism, the outer periphery of the warming pad being wrapped with an elastically deformable support piece, and the fixing part extending to be connected to the support piece.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the shape retention of the hot stamping coaster under high temperature and frequent use is ensured, further improving the stability and reliability of hot stamping.

[0018] Optionally, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating motor and a rotating bracket, with the hot coaster surrounding the outer periphery of the rotating bracket, and the rotating motor driving the rotating bracket to rotate.

[0019] Optionally, a control unit is also included, which is signal-connected to the drive mechanism and the rotating mechanism, and is used to alternately control the covering and releasing actions of the hot coaster and the rotation action of the cup according to a preset program.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solutions, the cup hot stamping machine has achieved fully automated operation, improving hot stamping efficiency and quality.

[0021] Optionally, it may also include a touch panel connected to the control unit, the touch panel including at least a power button, a start button and a rotation button, the start button being used to control the drive mechanism and the rotation button being used to control the rotation mechanism.

[0022] Optionally, it also includes a base and a mounting sleeve. The hot cup pad, the drive mechanism, the transmission bracket, and the rotating mechanism are all disposed on the base and covered by the mounting sleeve. The mounting sleeve is detachably connected to the base, and the mounting sleeve has a clearance opening to allow the hot cup pad and the transmission bracket to move.

[0023] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. The drive mechanism moves the hot stamping pad to wrap around the cup for hot stamping. After hot stamping is completed, it is released. Then, the rotating mechanism rotates the cup to the correct angle. When the cup reaches the correct position, the drive mechanism moves the hot stamping pad to wrap around the cup again for hot stamping. The above operation is repeated until hot stamping is completed. This realizes the automatic wrapping and release of the hot stamping pad and the automatic rotation and positioning of the cup, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of hot stamping. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for manual rotation, thus improving safety during use.

[0025] 2. The opening of the coaster can better accommodate cups of different sizes, improving the versatility and adaptability of the equipment, while simplifying the operation process;

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0035] This application discloses a cup warmer. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cup warming machine includes a warming pad 1, a drive mechanism 2, a transmission bracket 3, and a rotating mechanism 4. The transmission bracket 3 is connected between the output end of the drive mechanism 2 and the warming pad 1. The drive mechanism 2 drives the transmission bracket 3 to move the warming pad 1 to cover or release the cup. The warming pad 1 is set around the outer periphery of the rotating mechanism 4. The rotating mechanism 4 drives the cup to rotate and position circumferentially, so that the cup can be accurately imprinted on the position of the warming pad 1, ensuring that the pattern is seamless and without misalignment or overlap.

[0036] The drive mechanism 2 and the rotating mechanism 4 alternately control the covering and releasing actions of the hot stamping pad 1 and the rotation action of the cup. The drive mechanism 2 drives the hot stamping pad 1 to wrap around the cup for hot stamping. After hot stamping is completed, it is released. Then, the rotating mechanism 4 rotates the cup to rotate the angle. When the corresponding position is reached, the drive mechanism 2 drives the hot stamping pad 1 to wrap around the cup again for hot stamping. The above operation is repeated until the hot stamping is completed, which makes it convenient to hot stamp the cup. The drive mechanism 2 and the rotating mechanism 4 can accurately rotate and position the angle, improving the accuracy of hot stamping. Moreover, there is no need to manually rotate the cup, which improves the safety of use.

[0037] In some embodiments, a fixing frame 5 is further included. The fixing frame 5 has a fixing part 6, which extends along the outer periphery of the warming pad 1 on the side opposite to the driving mechanism 2. An elastically deformable support piece 7 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the warming pad 1, and the fixing part 6 extends to be connected to the support piece 7. In this embodiment, the fixing part 6 is also connected to a support frame 8, which is spaced apart from the fixing part 6. One of the support frames 8 is connected to one end of the support piece 7, thereby realizing the connection between the fixing part 6 and the support piece 7.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 2 includes a geared motor 21 and a lead screw 22. The lead screw 22 is screwed to a transmission bracket 3. The geared motor 21 drives the lead screw 22 to move the transmission bracket 3 in a straight line, thereby causing the coaster 1 to cover or release the cup. In this embodiment, the geared motor 21 is screwed to a fixed frame 5, and its output end passes through the fixed frame 5 and is connected to the lead screw 22, driving the lead screw 22 to rotate. A nut is fixed to the side of the transmission bracket 3 opposite to the geared motor 21, and the lead screw 22 is screwed to the nut. The rotation of the lead screw 22 drives the transmission bracket 3 to move in a straight line along the lead screw 22.

[0039] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 2 further includes a limit switch 9, which is disposed at the initial end and / or the end of the travel of the transmission bracket 3. When the limit switch 9 senses that the warming coaster 1 has reached its covering or releasing limit, the drive mechanism 2 stops driving. In this embodiment, two limit switches 9 are provided, respectively disposed at the initial segment and the end of the travel of the transmission bracket 3, and respectively sense the releasing and covering limits of the warming coaster 1, so that the reduction motor 21 can stop driving in time to avoid excessive movement of the travel of the transmission bracket 3.

[0040] Refer again Figure 1 In some embodiments, the warming coaster 1 has an opening 10 along its length, and a transmission bracket 3 is connected to one side of the opening 10. The driving mechanism 2 drives the transmission bracket 3 to move the warming coaster 1 on one side of the opening 10 closer to or away from the warming coaster 1 on the other side of the opening 10, so that the warming coaster 1 covers or releases the cup. This can better accommodate cups of different sizes, improving the versatility and adaptability of the equipment.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the transmission bracket 3 includes a movable seat 31 and a connecting seat 32. The movable seat 31 is connected to the drive mechanism 2. In this embodiment, the movable seat 31 is provided with a nut and screwed to the lead screw 22. The connecting seat 32 is threaded or fixedly connected to the hot stamping pad 1 on one side of the opening 10, or it can be connected to the support piece 7 on the outer periphery of the hot stamping pad 1. A connecting rod 33 is provided between the connecting seat 32 and the movable seat 31. An elastic element 34 is sleeved on the connecting rod 33. The elastic element 34 is a spring and is provided in two sets, respectively located near both ends. This increases the elastic cushioning of the hot stamping pad 1 when covering the cup, ensures the uniform distribution of stamping pressure, and improves the stamping quality.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the rotating mechanism 4 includes a rotary motor 41 and a rotating support 42. In this embodiment, a bearing 43 is also provided between the rotary motor 41 and the rotating support 42, and the bearing 43 is coaxially connected to the output end of the rotary motor 41. The warming coaster 1 surrounds the outer periphery of the rotating support 42. The rotary motor 41 drives the rotating support 42 to rotate, and the rotary motor 41 is a motor with an encoder. When a cup is placed on the rotating support 42, the rotating support 42 is driven to rotate by the rotary motor 41, thereby stably rotating the cup to the corresponding position.

[0043] In some embodiments, a control unit is also included. The control unit is signal-connected to the drive mechanism 2 and the rotation mechanism 4, and is used to alternately control the covering and releasing actions of the hot coaster 1 and the rotation action of the cup according to a preset program.

[0044] Refer again Figure 1 In some embodiments, a touch panel 12 connected to the control unit is also included. The touch panel 12 includes at least a power button 13, a start button 14, and a rotary button 15. The start button 14 is used to control the drive mechanism 2, and the rotary button 15 is used to control the rotation mechanism 4. Two sets of spare power buttons 13, start buttons 14, and rotary buttons 15 are provided.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the system also includes a base 16 and a mounting sleeve 17. The warming coaster 1, the drive mechanism 2, the transmission bracket 3, and the rotating mechanism 4 are all mounted on the base 16 and covered by the mounting sleeve 17. The mounting sleeve 17 and the base 16 are detachably connected and can be fixed by snap-fit ​​or other methods. The mounting sleeve 17 has a clearance opening 18 to allow the warming coaster 1 and the transmission bracket 3 to move. The mounting sleeve 17 also has a mounting opening 19 to allow the power button 13, the start button 14, and the rotation button 15 to move. The planes of the power button, the start button 14, and the rotation button 15 are on the same plane as the end face of the mounting sleeve 17, making the appearance flat and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0046] The implementation principle of a cup heat sealing machine according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: the driving mechanism 2 drives the cup heat sealing pad 1 to wrap around the cup for heat sealing. After heat sealing is completed, it is released. Then, the angle of the cup is rotated by the rotating mechanism 4. When the corresponding position is reached, the driving mechanism 2 drives the cup heat sealing pad 1 to wrap around the cup again for heat sealing. The above operation is repeated until heat sealing is completed. This realizes the automatic wrapping and release of the cup heat sealing pad 1 and the automatic rotation and positioning of the cup, thereby improving the heat sealing efficiency and accuracy. Moreover, it eliminates the need for manual rotation, thus improving the safety of use.
