It should be understood that the present invention permits various variations in different embodiments, none of which are outside the scope of the present invention, and the descriptions and illustrations contained therein serve only to illustrate the invention and are not intended to limit it.

[0019] With reference to Fig. 1. The present invention provides a heat press 10, which is used for the heat transfer of a pattern or text on transfer paper to a material. When the user uses the heat press 10 to process a workpiece, he holds the handle of the heat press 10 firmly and exerts force on the handle, and the pattern or text on the transfer paper is thermally transferred to the material.

[0020] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the hot press 10 comprises a housing 100 and a printed circuit board 200, a thermal insulation layer 300 and a heating plate assembly 400, which are provided from top to bottom inside the housing 100, wherein the printed circuit board 200 is electrically connected to the heating plate assembly 400, wherein the heating plate assembly 400 is used to generate the heat required for thermal transfer printing, wherein a heating surface of the heating plate assembly 400 is exposed to the housing 100.

[0021] As in Fig. 3 and Fig. As shown in Figure 4, it should be noted that the hot press 10 further comprises a limiting element 500 which is provided between the circuit board 200 and the thermal insulation layer 300, so that the circuit board 200 and the thermal insulation layer 300 are spaced apart from each other.

[0022] In summary, the present application states that the hot press 10 comprises a housing 100 and a printed circuit board 200, a thermal insulation layer 300, and a heating plate assembly 400, arranged from top to bottom within the housing 100. The hot press 10 further includes a limiting element 500 positioned between the printed circuit board 200 and the thermal insulation layer 300, thus spacing the two apart. The heat generated by the heating plate assembly 400 during operation cannot be transferred to the printed circuit board 200 via the air, thereby reducing the likelihood of the printed circuit board 200's service life being shortened due to high temperatures. This also reduces the need for frequent replacement of the hot press 10, resulting in a positive user experience.

[0023] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the circuit board 200 comprises a first control board 210 and a second control board 220. The hot press 10 includes a push button 600 and a power cable 700. The push button 600 is electrically connected to the first control board 210. After the user presses the push button 600, an electrical signal from the push button 600 is transmitted from the first control board 210 to the heating plate assembly 400, and the heating plate assembly 400 starts or stops its operation under the control of the push button 600. The power cable 700 is electrically connected to the second control board 220 and supplies power to the heating plate assembly 400. The limiting element 500 is connected at opposite ends to the second control board 220 and to the thermal insulation layer 300.

[0024] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the housing 100 comprises an upper housing 110 and a lower housing 120, wherein the upper housing 110 includes a hot press section housing 111 and a handle section housing 112, the upper housing 110 being provided with a recessed space 113, the recessed space 113 being located between the hot press section housing 111 and the handle section housing 112, the recessed space 113 being used to hold the handle section housing 112. In this way, it is possible to design the housing 100 in an approximately C-shaped form, which makes it easier for a user to hold the handle section housing 112 in their hand to move the hot press 10 for processing.

[0025] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the thermal insulation layer 300 comprises a first thermal insulation layer 310 and a second thermal insulation layer 320, wherein the first thermal insulation layer 310 is provided between the lower housing 120 and the second control plate 220, while the second thermal insulation layer 320 is provided between the heating plate assembly 400 and the lower housing 120. Based on the first thermal insulation layer 310, the second thermal insulation layer 320 is provided so that the heat-insulating effect of the first thermal insulation layer 310 further improves the thermal insulation effect of the hot press 10, which effectively prevents the heat generated by the heating plate assembly 400 from being transferred to the circuit board 200, thus preventing the high temperature from burning out the circuit board 200 and preventing the heating plate assembly 400 from scalding the user.It is understood that the second thermal insulation layer 320 cannot be provided either; any solution in which the thermal insulation layer 300 prevents the heat generated by the heating plate assembly 400 from being transferred to the circuit board 200 should be protected.

[0026] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 3, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the limiting element 500 is provided as a limiting column 510, wherein the first thermal insulation layer 310 is provided with a plurality of limiting columns 510 at one end facing the second control plate 220, the limiting columns 510 bearing against the second control plate 220. A limiting column 510 is provided, and the limiting column 510 supports the second control plate 220, so that the limiting column 510 effectively prevents the second control plate 220 from approaching the first thermal insulation layer 310 along the vertical direction of the hot press 10, and ensures the distance between the second control plate 220 and the first thermal insulation layer 310. At the same time, the limiting column 510 also ensures the distance between the second control plate 220 and the first thermal insulation layer 310 when the second control plate 220 is installed.It is understood that the limiting column 510 can also be provided in other forms, e.g., two snap grooves are provided in the hot-pressed section housing 111, and the two snap grooves are each installed with the second control plate 220 and the first thermal insulation layer 310, which can effectively ensure the distance between the second control plate 220 and the first thermal insulation layer 310. Any solution in which the distance between the second control plate 220 and the first thermal insulation layer 310 can be ensured should be protected.

[0027] It should be noted that the distance between the first thermal insulation layer 310 and the second control plate 220 is greater than 5 mm.

[0028] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 5, the lower housing 120 is provided with a support element 121 on one side facing the first thermal insulation layer 310, the support element 121 being used to support the first thermal insulation layer 310. The support element 121 can reinforce the first thermal insulation layer 310, which can effectively prevent the first thermal insulation layer 310 from breaking due to the force exerted on it when the user processes the workpiece with the hot press 10. It is understood that the support element 121 may also be omitted.

[0029] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the heating plate assembly 400 comprises a transfer pressure plate 410 and a heating element 420, wherein the heating element 420 is installed on the transfer pressure plate 410, the transfer pressure plate 410 being provided with a support column 411, the support column 411 supporting the second thermal insulation layer 320. The support column 411 can reinforce the second thermal insulation layer 320, which can effectively prevent the second thermal insulation layer 320 from breaking due to the force exerted on it when the user processes the workpiece with the hot press 10. It is understood that the support column 411 may also be omitted, and as long as the heating plate assembly 400 is capable of generating heat, it should be protected.

[0030] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the transfer printing plate 410 is provided with a protective housing 412, wherein the heating element 420 is located inside the protective housing 412, the shape of which is adapted to the shape of the heating element 420. The heating element 420 is located within the protective housing 412 and is spaced away from the second thermal insulation layer 320 or other elements, so that the heating element 420 does not directly heat the second thermal insulation layer 320 when in operation. This effectively prevents the second thermal insulation layer 320 or other elements from catching fire and increases safety when using the hot press 10. It is understood that the protective housing 412 cannot be provided without regard to operational safety; any solution in which the heating element 420 can generate energy should be protected.

[0031] As in Fig. 1 and Fig.As shown in Figure 3, the hot press 10 further comprises a base 800, the base 800 being located at an end of the heating plate assembly 400 facing away from the housing 100. The base 800 can effectively reduce the friction between the transfer pressure plate 410 and the support surface and increase the service life of the hot press 10. It is understood that the base 800 may not be provided.
