Any solution in which the upper housing 210 of the handle can be firmly attached to the lower housing 220 of the handle should be patented.
[0027] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the upper housing 210 of the handle is provided with a snap element 212 in the middle along its length, while the lower housing 220 of the handle is provided with a snap lock 222 in the middle along its length, wherein, when the upper housing 210 of the handle is installed on the lower housing 220 of the handle, the snap lock 222 is elastically deformed so that the snap element 212 can snap into the snap lock 222.Based on the mounting column 211 and the mounting groove 221, a snap lock 222 and a snap element 212 are provided to increase the strength of the installation of the upper handle housing 210 and the lower handle housing 220. When the user presses the handle 200 to perform the thermal transfer printing, the upper handle housing 210 and the lower handle housing 220 do not separate, thus increasing user safety when using the heat press 10. It is understood that the snap lock 222 and the snap element 212 may also be omitted, and any solution in which the upper handle housing 210 is attached to the lower handle housing 220 should be secured.
[0028] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 4, at least one of the upper housing 210 of the handle and the lower housing 220 of the handle is provided with a support rod 213. As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 4, a support rod 213 is provided on the lower housing 220 of the handle, extending in a vertical direction along the hot press 10. The support rod 213 can reinforce the handle 200, effectively preventing it 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 rod 213 may also be omitted, and any solution in which a handle 200 is provided on the hot press 10 should be patented.
[0029] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 3, it should be noted that both the upper housing 110 and the lower housing 120 of the main body are provided with reinforcing bars 112. The reinforcing bar 112 can strengthen the upper housing 110 and the lower housing 120 of the main body, effectively preventing either the upper housing 110 or the lower housing 120 of the main body from breaking due to the force exerted on them when the user processes the workpiece with the hot press 10. It is understood that the reinforcing bar 112 may also be omitted, and any solution in which the main body is provided with an upper housing 110 and a lower housing 120 should be protected.
[0030] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 4, the hot press 10 further comprises a first thermal insulation layer 400 and a second thermal insulation layer 500, wherein the first thermal insulation layer 400 is provided between the lower housing 120 of the main body and the upper housing 110 of the main body, while the second thermal insulation layer 500 is provided between the heating plate assembly 300 and the lower housing 120 of the main body. Based on the first thermal insulation layer 400, the second thermal insulation layer 500 is provided, so that the thermal insulation effect of the hot press 10 is further enhanced by the thermal insulation effect of the first thermal insulation layer 400, which can effectively prevent the heat generated by the heating plate assembly 300 from being transferred to the handle 200, thus preventing the heat generated by the heating plate assembly 300 from scalding the user.It goes without saying that the first thermal insulation layer 400 and the second thermal insulation layer 500 cannot be provided, and any solution in which the heating plate assembly 300 is able to generate heat should be protected.
[0031] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 4, the heating plate assembly 300 comprises a transfer pressure plate 310 and a heating element 320, wherein the heating element 320 is installed on the transfer pressure plate 310, the transfer pressure plate 310 being provided with a support column 311, the support column 311 supporting the second thermal insulation layer 500. The support column 311 can reinforce the second thermal insulation layer 500, which can effectively prevent the second thermal insulation layer 500 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 311 may also be omitted, and as long as the heating plate assembly 300 is capable of generating heat, it should be protected.
[0032] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 4, the transfer printing plate 310 is provided with a protective housing 312, wherein the heating element 320 is located inside the protective housing 312, the shape of which is adapted to the shape of the heating element 320. The heating element 320 is located within the protective housing 312 and is spaced away from the second thermal insulation layer 500 or other elements, so that the heating element 320 does not directly heat the second thermal insulation layer 500 when in operation. This effectively prevents the second thermal insulation layer 500 or other elements from catching fire and increases safety when using the hot press 10. It is understood that the protective housing 312 cannot be provided without regard to operational safety; any solution in which the heating element 320 can generate energy should be protected.
[0033] As in Fig. 1 and Fig.As shown in Figure 2, the hot press 10 further comprises a base 600, the base 600 being located at an end of the heating plate assembly 300 facing away from the lower housing body 120 of the main body. The base 600 can effectively reduce the friction between the transfer pressure plate 310 and the support surface and increase the service life of the hot press 10. It is understood that the base 600 may not be provided.
