[0030] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "connected," and "linked" 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 application based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] Please refer to the following first. Figure 1 This utility model provides a cup heat printing machine 10, which is used to print various patterns on the surface of cups to meet consumers' aesthetic needs and increase the selling price.

[0032] refer to Figure 1 The cup heat printing machine 10 includes a main body 100 and a heating pad 200. The heating pad 200 is detachably mounted on the main body 100 and has a cup-holding cavity 210 for accommodating a cup.

[0033] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 One of the main body 100 and the heating pad 200 is provided with a slide rail 110, and the other is provided with a guide strip 220, for example... Figure 3 As illustrated, the main body 100 is provided with a slide rail 110, and the heating pad 200 is provided with a guide strip 220. The guide strip 220 is slidably disposed on the slide rail 110, so that the heating pad 200 can slide relative to the main body 100 and be detached from the main body 100. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the positions of the slide rail 110 and the guide strip 220 can also be reversed. In this case, the slide rail 110 is disposed on the heating pad 200, and the guide strip 220 is disposed on the main body 100.

[0034] In summary, in this application, the cup heat printing machine 10 includes a main body 100 and a heating pad 200. The heating pad 200 is detachably mounted on the main body 100. One of the main body 100 and the heating pad 200 is provided with a slide rail 110, and the other is provided with a guide bar 220. The guide bar 220 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 110 so that the heating pad 200 can slide relative to the main body 100 and be detached from the main body 100. This allows the heating pad 200 to be disassembled and replaced when its lifespan is over and its heating effect is poor, without the need to replace the entire machine, thus reducing replacement costs.

[0035] refer to Figure 3 It should be noted that when the slide rail 110 is installed on the main body 100 and the guide bar 220 is installed on the heating pad 200, the heating pad 200 is also provided with a first threaded connector. The first threaded connector passes through the heating pad 200 and is threadedly connected to the guide bar 220, allowing the guide bar 220 to be detachably installed on the heating pad 200. By providing the first threaded connector, the guide bar 220 can be detachably installed on the heating pad 200. After the guide bar 220 has been used for a certain period, it can be directly replaced without replacing the heating pad 200, reducing replacement costs. It is understandable that the first threaded connector could be omitted; any design that allows the heating pad 200 to be detachably installed on the main body 100 should be protected.

[0036] refer to Figure 3 It should be noted that the guide bar 220 includes a first part 221, a middle part 222, and a second part 223 connected in sequence. The first part 221 is embedded in the slide rail 110, the second part 222 is connected to the heating pad 200, and the middle part 222 is connected to the first part 221 and the second part 223.

[0037] refer to Figure 3 The heating pad 200 has two slide rails 110 and two guide bars 220, with the two guide bars 220 positioned on opposite sides of the heating pad 200's width. The two slide rails 110 correspond to the corresponding guide bars 220. By using two slide rails 110 and two guide bars 220, the heating pad 200 can move more stably and with less wobbling. It can be understood that setting only one slide rail 110 and one guide bar 220 would protect any design where the heating pad 200 can move relative to the main body 100.

[0038] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The main body 100 includes a body 120 and a shell 130. The shell 130 has an opening 131, through which the heating pad 200 can be detached.

[0039] refer to Figure 1The outer casing 130 includes a main casing 132 and a fixing cover 133. The fixing cover 133 is detachably installed in the opening 131. Removing the fixing cover 133 allows the heating pad 200 to move relative to the main casing 132 and detach from the machine body 120. By setting the fixing cover 133, the movement of the heating pad 200 relative to the main body 100 is restricted, ensuring that the guide strip 220 will not move relative to the slide rail 110 during normal use of the cup heat printing machine 10. The heating pad 200, installed inside the main body 100, effectively ensures that the pattern heat-printed on the cup will not shift, reducing the probability of heat printing failure. It is understandable that, if the issue of the pattern heat-printed on the cup not shifting is not considered, the fixing cover 133 may not be necessary; any design that allows the heating pad 200 to move relative to the main body 100 should be protected.

[0040] refer to Figure 3 An installation groove 134 is provided corresponding to the opening 131. The shape of the installation groove 134 is adapted to the opening 131. The fixing cover 133 is installed in the installation groove 134, and after the fixing cover 133 is installed in the installation groove 134, the outer surface of the fixing cover 133 is flush with the outer surface of the outer shell body 132, which increases the overall aesthetics of the cup heat printing machine 10, and the edge of the fixing cover 133 will not bump into the user's fingers during use, increasing the safety of use. It can be understood that the installation groove 134 can also be omitted, as long as the outer shell 130, including the outer shell body 132 and the fixing cover 133, should be protected.

[0041] refer to Figure 3 It should be noted that the housing 130 also includes a plurality of second threaded connectors, which pass through the fixing cover 133 and are threadedly connected to the housing 130.

[0042] refer to Figure 3 It should be noted that the fixed cover 133 is U-shaped.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The cup heat printing machine 10 also includes a control motherboard 300. A first interface 121 is provided on the side of the machine body 120 facing the heating pad 200. A second interface, detachably connected to the first interface 121, is provided on the heating pad 200. After the second interface is plugged into the first interface 121, the control motherboard 300 is electrically connected to the heating pad 200. By providing the detachable first interface 121 and second interface, the second interface can be disconnected from the first interface 121 before the heating pad 200 is removed from the body 100, ensuring that the wires connecting the control motherboard 300 and the heating pad 200 are not broken, thus increasing the service life of the cup heat printing machine 10.

[0044] refer to Figure 4The cup heat printing machine 10 also includes a clamping drive device 400, which includes a connecting frame 410, a drive motor 420, and a drive assembly 430. The drive assembly 430 includes at least two meshing gears 431 and two swing arms 432. One gear 431 is fixed to the motor shaft 421 of the drive motor 420, and the main body 100 is provided with a shaft 140. The other gear 431 is rotatably connected to the shaft 140 and hinged to the swing arm 432, which is fixed to the connecting frame 410. The drive motor 420 operates and drives one of the gears 431 to rotate. Since the two gears 431 mesh with each other, they rotate synchronously. Because the gear 431 meshes with the swing arm 432, and the other end of the swing arm 432 is fixed to the connecting frame 410, when the gear 431 rotates, the swing arm 432 swings and drives the connecting frame 410 to move. Since one end of the heating pad 200 is fixed to the connecting frame 410 and the other end is fixed to the main body 100, when the connecting frame 410 moves, the opening of the cup cavity 210 will become smaller, thereby pressing the cup located in the cup cavity 210. After a period of time, the baking and printing can be completed.

[0045] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 It should be noted that the main body 100 is equipped with a power interface 150, and the bottom of the main body 100 is equipped with an anti-slip pad.

[0046] Although the present invention has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terminology used is descriptive and exemplary, and not restrictive. Since the present invention can be embodied in many forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the invention, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims. Therefore, all variations and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
