[0022] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, it should be noted that the support element 300 is connected to the recess section 113 and the lower housing 112.
[0023] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, it should be noted that the support element 300 extends along the thickness direction of the hot press 10.
[0024] In summary, the hot press 10 in the present application comprises an outer housing 100, a heating plate assembly 200, and a support element 300, wherein the outer housing 100 comprises a housing body 110 and a handle 120, wherein the housing body 110 comprises an upper housing 111 and a lower housing 112, and wherein the support element 300 is connected to the recessed section 113 of the upper housing 111 and to the lower housing 112, so that the strength of the housing body 110 can be increased by the support element 300 and the user can effectively avoid the case of the housing body 110 breaking due to the force exerted on the handle 120 when processing workpieces with the hot press 10.
[0025] As in Fig. 1 and Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the recess section 113 is provided as a curved surface, with a smooth transition from the highest point of the recess section 113 to the lowest point of the recess section 113, with one end of the support element 300 connected to the lowest point of the recess section 113 to support the recess section 113.
[0026] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 3, it should be noted that the hot press 10 further comprises a heat-insulating layer 400, the heat-insulating layer 400 being connected to an end of the support element 300 facing away from the recess section 113. The heat-insulating layer 400 is designed such that, when the user uses the hot press 10, the user presses the handle 120, the support element 300 presses the heat-insulating layer 400, and the heat-insulating layer 400 presses the heating plate assembly 200, which can effectively prevent the heat generated by the heating plate assembly 200 from being transferred to the handle 120 and can prevent the heating plate assembly 200 from scalding the user. It is understood that the heat-insulating layer 400 may also be omitted, and as long as the heating plate assembly 200 is capable of generating heat, it should be protected.
[0027] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the thermal insulation layer 400 comprises a first thermal insulation layer 410 and a second thermal insulation layer 420, wherein the first thermal insulation layer 410 is provided within the housing body 110 and connected to the lower housing 112, while the second thermal insulation layer 420 is provided between the heating plate assembly 200 and the lower housing 112. The support element 300 extends through the first thermal insulation layer 410 and is connected to the second thermal insulation layer 420.
[0028] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 3, the heating plate assembly 200 comprises a transfer pressure plate 210 and a heating element 220, the heating element 220 being installed on the transfer pressure plate 210, the transfer pressure plate 210 being provided with a support column 211, the support column 211 supporting the lower housing 112. The support column 211 can reinforce the lower housing 112, which can effectively prevent the lower housing 112 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 211 may also be omitted, and as long as the heating plate assembly 200 is capable of generating heat, it should be protected.
[0029] As in Fig. Figure 3 shows a plurality of support columns 211, wherein the plurality of support columns 211 are arranged in a plurality of rows along a direction of extension of the handle 120, and wherein the plurality of support columns 211 are spaced apart from one another. As shown in Fig. Figure 3 shows, for example, six support columns 211 are provided, wherein the six support columns 211 are arranged in three rows along one extension direction of the handle 120. It is understood that in other embodiments four support columns 211 are provided, wherein the four support columns 211 are arranged in two rows along one extension direction of the handle 120; the present invention does not specifically limit the number of support columns 211.

The heating element 220 is located within the protective housing 212 and is spaced away from the second thermal insulation layer 420 or other elements, so that the heating element 220 does not directly heat the second thermal insulation layer 420 when in operation. This effectively prevents the second thermal insulation layer 420 or other elements from catching fire and increases safety when using the hot press 10. It is understood that the protective housing 212 cannot be provided without regard to operational safety; any solution in which the heating element 220 can generate energy should be protected.
[0031] As in Fig. Figure 2 shows a support rod 121 provided within the handle 120, the support rod 121 extending along a vertical direction of the hot press 10. The support rod 121 can reinforce the handle 120, effectively preventing the handle 120 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 121 may also be omitted, and any solution in which a handle 120 is provided on the hot press 10 should be patented.
[0032] As in Fig. 1 and Fig.As shown in Figure 3, the hot press 10 further comprises a base 500, the base 500 being located at an end of the heating plate assembly 200 facing away from the housing body 110. The base 500 can effectively reduce the friction between the transfer pressure plate 210 and the support surface and increase the service life of the hot press 10. It is understood that the base 500 may not be provided.
