Description

Title of the invention: INTEGRATED THERMAL SUBLIMATION PRINTING AND FILM CUTTING MACHINE Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of integrated film printing and cutting technology and, in particular, to an integrated thermal sublimation printing and film cutting machine. Prior art

[0002] A dye-sublimation printer is a common office equipment that uses thermal energy to transfer pigments to paper for color printing, after which the paper can be fully laminated with film. A film cutter, also called a film cutting machine, is a smart device configured to measure the phone, and cut and paste film on the spot in places such as cultural and creative DIY stores, mobile phone stores, accessory stores, and maintenance stores.

[0003] The film cutting machine is often used in combination with a printer. The paper processed by the printer comprises a base paper and a laminating film adhered to the base paper. In this case, the film cutting machine must perform die-cutting of the laminating film in operation to form the required shape and specification. In the existing art, the printer and the film cutting machine are two separate devices, which need to occupy separate and different spaces. When the user's space is limited, the separate printer and film cutting machine cause great inconvenience to the user due to the larger space required. ABSTRACT

[0004] In order to improve the situation in which the separate printer and film cutting machine of the prior art cause great inconvenience to the user due to larger space requirement, the present invention provides an integrated thermal sublimation printing and film cutting machine.

[0005] The integrated thermal sublimation printing and film cutting machine provided in the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.

[0006] An integrated thermal sublimation printing and film cutting machine comprises a housing, a printing assembly and a film cutting assembly are arranged in the housing, one end of the housing on the printing assembly side rotatably comprises two transfer rollers for printing, an actuator for printing is arranged in the housing to rotate the transfer rollers for printing, and one end of the housing on the film cutting assembly side rotatably has two transfer rollers for film cutting, a film cutting actuator is arranged in the housing to rotate the transfer rollers for film cutting, the shortest distance between the transfer rollers for printing and the transfer rollers for film cutting is less than a length of a paper, a paper inlet is set at the end of the housing on the printing assembly side, a paper outlet is set at the end of the housing on the film cutting assembly side, and the paper is configured to successively enter between the two transfer rollers for printing and between the two transfer rollers for film cutting via the paper inlet, and exit through the paper outlet.

[0007] By means of the above-mentioned technical solution, when it is necessary to print and carry out the film cutting process on the paper, the paper is introduced into the housing through the paper inlet, so that the end of the paper penetrates between the two transfer rollers for printing. The two transfer rollers for printing are then rotated by the actuator for printing, so that the clamping and conveying of the paper are realized by the rotation of the two transfer rollers for printing. The printing assembly functions to print and laminate a film on the paper during the conveying of the paper.By the above-mentioned process, a movement direction of the paper can be changed by changing the rotation direction of the transfer rollers for printing, so that the paper moves forward and backward to perform a reciprocating movement, and the printing assembly can thus perform multi-step operations on the paper to complete the printing and film lamination on the paper.

[0008] After the printing and film lamination on the paper are completed, the transfer rollers for printing rotate to move the paper toward the transfer rollers for film cutting, and when the end of the paper arrives between the two transfer rollers for film cutting, the actuator for film cutting rotates the transfer rollers for film cutting, and the clamping and conveying of the paper are realized by the rotation of the transfer rollers for film cutting, whereby the paper moves in the direction toward the film cutting assembly, and then the film cutting assembly operates to perform the film cutting process on the paper. As the film cutting assembly operates, the end of the paper leaves the transfer rollers for printing.The direction of movement of the paper can be changed by changing the rotation direction of the transfer rollers for film cutting, so that the paper can exit and enter through the paper outlet so as to perform a . reciprocating movement, and the film cutting assembly can perform multi-step operations on the paper, thereby completing the film cutting process of the paper.

[0009] After both the printing and the film cutting process of the paper are completed, the transfer rollers for film cutting rotate to move the paper out of the paper outlet, thereby completing the entire paper processing. Since the shortest distance between the transfer rollers for printing and the transfer rollers for film cutting is less than the length of the paper, the paper does not leave the transfer rollers for printing and / or the transfer rollers for film cutting during the entire paper conveyance, whereby stable paper conveyance is achieved, thereby preventing the paper from falling into the housing.

[0010] The printing assembly and the film cutting assembly are integrated together by the integrated machine of the present invention, and the printing and film cutting process of the paper can be completed by the integrated machine. The integrated machine has a compact structure and occupies a small space, and is flexible and convenient to use. Under the premise that the user's space is limited, the use requirements can still be met, and the inconvenience caused to the user due to limited space can be avoided. In addition, when the paper only needs to be printed or undergo film cutting processing separately, this can be realized by the integrated machine with high overall applicability.

[0011] Optionally, a partition plate is provided in the housing, the partition plate divides a space in the housing into a first channel and a second channel, the printing assembly and transfer rollers for printing are located in the first channel, a first guide plate is obliquely provided on the partition plate, and the first guide plate is widened to one end on the film cutting assembly side.

[0012] By using the above-mentioned technical solution, the partition plate divides the space in the housing, such that the printing assembly and the transfer rollers for printing are located in the first channel, and when the printing assembly performs printing processing on the paper, the paper moves in the first channel. When the printing processing on the paper is completed, the transfer rollers for film cutting rotate to reciprocate the paper, such that the film cutting assembly performs a film cutting operation. As the paper enters and exits via the paper outlet, the paper is guided into the second channel by the first guide plate. The second channel provides a clean path for the paper to avoid interference on the paper by the printing assembly and transfer rollers for printing during film cutting.

[0013] Optionally, a second guide plate is disposed in the first channel, one end of the second guide plate extends obliquely in a direction toward the printing assembly, and the other end of the second guide plate extends in a same inclined direction as that of the first guide plate and extends obliquely toward the film cutting assembly.

[0014] By means of the above-mentioned technical solution, two ends of the second guide plate which are obliquely arranged can respectively guide the paper in two movement directions. After the paper printing process is completed, the transfer rollers for printing move the paper in the direction toward the film cutting assembly, in this process, the end of the paper comes into contact with the second guide plate, so that the paper can more smoothly abut against the transfer rollers for film cutting under the guidance of the second guide plate. When the paper is subjected to the film cutting process, one end of the second guide plate on the film cutting assembly side cooperates with the first guide plate to better guide the paper, thereby facilitating the paper to enter the second channel.

[0015] Optionally, a top plate is disposed in the first channel, and the top plate is located between the transfer rollers for printing and the transfer rollers for film cutting.

[0016] By means of the above-mentioned technical solution, the upper plate is configured to limit the movement direction of the paper. When the paper moves in the direction toward the transfer rollers for printing, in the case where the paper moves in the first channel by mistake, the end of the paper abuts the upper plate, the upper plate limits the further movement of the paper in the same direction, and the end of the paper deforms after abutting the upper plate without continuing to move in the direction toward the transfer rollers for printing, so as to further avoid interference on the paper by the transfer rollers for printing during film cutting.

[0017] Optionally, an access opening is defined on the housing, the access opening is located between the printing assembly and the film cutting assembly, and a cover plate is removably connected to the housing to close the access opening.

[0018] Thanks to the above-mentioned technical solution, the provision of the access opening facilitates regular inspection and maintenance of various components in the housing, and when a paper jam accidentally occurs in the housing, the paper can also be removed through the access opening, thereby improving the working convenience of the integrated machine. During daily operation of the machine integrated, the access opening is closed by the cover plate, in order to prevent foreign objects from entering the housing and affecting the operation of the various components in the housing.

[0019] Optionally, a paper monitoring device is provided at the paper outlet to detect an end of the paper, the film cutting assembly and the actuator for film cutting are both connected to the paper monitoring device to transfer electrical signals.

[0020] By means of the above-mentioned technical solution, the paper monitoring device is configured to monitor a position of an end edge of the paper. When the paper monitoring device monitors that the distance between the monitoring device and the end edge of the paper reaches a set distance, the position information of the paper at that time is recorded as zero point information, and the position information of the entire paper, i.e., the position of the paper at that time, can be obtained from the zero point information. The paper monitoring device sends the zero point information, and the actuator for film cutting drives the transfer rollers for film cutting to move the paper in the direction toward the film cutting assembly at a set speed.When the paper moves to a set position, the film cutting assembly works to perform a precise film cutting operation.

[0021] Optionally, a plurality of paper monitoring devices are provided at the paper outlet, the plurality of paper monitoring devices are arranged along a width direction of the paper and are parallel to each other.

[0022] By means of the above-mentioned technical solution, the paper monitoring device is configured to detect the position of the end edge of the paper, and the plurality of paper monitoring devices cooperate with each other to reduce an error. Since the plurality of paper monitoring devices are parallel to each other in the width direction of the paper, distance information monitored by the two paper monitoring devices must be consistent. When the distance information monitored by the plurality of paper monitoring devices is not consistent and has a large difference, it indicates that the paper is skewed or some of the paper monitoring devices are damaged; at this time, the position of the paper must be adjusted in time or the integrated machine must be overhauled in time.

[0023] Optionally, the film cutting assembly comprises a film cutting seat, a cutting head for film cutting is slidably arranged on the film cutting seat, a film cutting platform is arranged below the cutting head for film cutting, a first drive part is disposed on the film cutting seat to drive the cutting head for film cutting to move in one direction toward the film cutting platform, and a second driving part is disposed in the housing to drive the film cutting seat to move in an X-axis direction and a Y-axis direction.

[0024] By means of the above-mentioned technical solution, when the film cutting assembly performs a film cutting operation, the film cutting seat is caused to move in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction by the second driving part, so that the film cutting seat causes the cutting head for film cutting to move to the position in which film cutting is to be performed. The first driving part then causes the cutting head for film cutting to move downward, so that the cutting head for film cutting contacts the laminating (plasticizing) film of the paper to press the paper against the film cutting platform.The second driving part works in this process to move the cutting head for film cutting, and the cutting head for film cutting performs die cutting on the laminating film during the movement to form the required shape and specification of the laminating film, thereby completing the film cutting process. The first driving part and the second driving part cooperate with each other, so as to accurately control the cutting head for film cutting, thereby improving the accuracy of the film cutting process and reducing the film cutting deviation.

[0025] Optionally, a drive monitoring device is provided on the second drive portion, and the drive monitoring device is connected to the second drive portion for transferring electrical signals.

[0026] By means of the above-mentioned technical solution, the drive monitoring device of the second drive part is configured to detect the operating state of the second drive part, thereby monitoring the actual movement state of the film cutting seat. When the drive monitoring device monitors that there is a deviation between the actual movement state and the theoretical movement state of the film cutting seat, the drive monitoring device outputs a signal, and the second drive part acquires the signal and performs error compensation so as to reduce a film cutting deviation.

[0027] Optionally, an air blowing seat is provided on the film cutting seat, the air blowing seat is configured with an air blowing port, the air blowing port is arranged vertically and in communication with the outside, the film cutting seat is configured with an air blowing member for supplying air to the air blowing port.

[0028] By means of the above-mentioned technical solution, the air blowing member works when the cutting head for film cutting performs the film cutting process, the air blowing member supplies air to the air blowing port through the air blowing seat, and the air is blown vertically downward onto the paper through the air blowing port, thereby preventing the laminating film of the paper from being caught by the cutting head for film cutting during film cutting, which consequently affects the film cutting process of the paper. On the other hand, since the gas is blown vertically through the air blowing port, the vertical displacement of the paper can be restricted, which improves the stability of the paper in the film cutting process.

[0029] In summary, the present invention comprises at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0030] 1. The printing assembly and the film cutting assembly are integrated together by the integrated machine of the present invention, and the printing and film cutting of the paper can be completed by the integrated machine. The integrated machine has a compact structure and occupies a small space, and is flexible and convenient to use. Under the premise that the user's space is limited, the use requirements can still be met, and the inconvenience caused to the user due to limited space can be avoided. In addition, when the paper only needs to be printed or undergo film cutting processing separately, this can be achieved by the integrated machine with high overall applicability.

[0031] 2. The partition plate divides the space in the housing, so that the assembly printing assembly and transfer rollers for printing are located in the first channel, and when the printing assembly performs printing processing on the paper, the paper moves in the first channel. When the printing processing on the paper is completed, the transfer rollers for film cutting rotate to reciprocate the paper, so that the film cutting assembly performs a film cutting operation. As the paper enters and exits via the paper outlet, the paper is guided into the second channel by the first guide plate. The second channel provides a clean path for the paper to avoid interference on the paper by the printing assembly and the transfer rollers for printing during film cutting.

[0032] 3. Two ends of the second guide plate which are arranged in a manner oblique can respectively guide the paper in two directions of movement. After the paper printing process is completed, the transfer rollers for printing move the paper in the direction toward the film cutting assembly; in this process, the end of the paper comes into contact with the second guide plate, so that the paper can abut more smoothly against the rollers of transfer for film cutting under the guidance of the second guide plate. When the paper is subjected to the film cutting process, one end of the second guide plate on the film cutting assembly side cooperates with the first guide plate to better guide the paper, which facilitates the entry of the paper into the second channel.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The present invention is further illustrated in combination with Figures 1 to 9.

[0044] Embodiment 1

[0045] Embodiment 1 of the present invention relates to an integrated thermal sublimation printing and film cutting machine. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the integrated thermal sublimation printing and film cutting machine comprises a housing 1, a printing assembly 2 and a film cutting assembly 3 are arranged in the housing 1. One end of the housing 1 on the printing assembly 2 side rotatably comprises two transfer rollers for printing 4, an actuator for printing configured to rotate the transfer rollers for printing 4 is arranged in the housing 1. One end of the housing 1 on the film cutting assembly 3 side rotatably comprises two transfer rollers for film cutting 5, and an actuator for film cutting configured to rotate the transfer rollers for film cutting 5 is arranged in the housing 1.Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the shortest distance between the transfer rollers for printing 4 and the transfer rollers for film cutting 5 is less than a length of a paper 6. A paper inlet 7 is defined at the end of the housing 1 on the printing assembly 2 side, and a paper outlet 8 is provided at the end of the housing 1 on the film cutting assembly 3 side. The transfer rollers for printing 4, the printing assembly 2, the transfer rollers for film cutting 5 and the film cutting assembly 3 are successively arranged from the paper inlet 7 to the paper outlet 8, and the paper 6 successively enters between the two transfer rollers for printing 4 and between the two transfer rollers for film cutting 5 via the paper inlet 7, and exits through the paper outlet 8.

[0046] Referring to [Fig. 3], a partition plate 9 is arranged horizontally in the housing 1, the partition plate 9 divides a space in the housing 1 into a first upper channel 10 and a second lower channel 11, and the printing assembly 2 and the transfer rollers for printing 4 are located in the first channel 10.

[0047] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the partition plate 9 is integrally formed with a first guide plate 12 which extends obliquely, and the first guide plate 12 is widened in a direction toward one end on the film cutting assembly 3 side. A second guide plate 13 is disposed in the first channel 10, one end of the second guide plate 13 is disposed obliquely. oblique in one direction toward the printing assembly 2, and the other end thereof extends in a same inclined direction as that of the first guide plate 12 and obliquely toward the film cutting assembly 3.

[0048] The partition plate 9 divides the space in the housing 1, such that the printing assembly 2 and the transfer rollers for printing 4 are located in the first channel 10 and, when the printing assembly 2 performs a printing operation on the paper 6, the paper 6 moves in the first channel 10. When the printing operation on the paper 6 is completed, the transfer rollers for film cutting 5 rotate to reciprocate the paper 6, such that the film cutting assembly 3 performs a film cutting operation. As the paper 6 moves back and forth through the paper outlet 8, the paper is guided into the second channel 11 by the first guide plate 12 and the second guide plate 13.The second channel 11 provides a clean path for the paper 6 to avoid interference on the paper by the print assembly 2 and the transfer rollers for printing 4 during film cutting.

[0049] Referring to [Fig. 4], an L-shaped upper plate 14 is disposed in the first channel 10 between the transfer rollers for printing 4 and the transfer rollers for film cutting 5. The upper plate 14 is configured to limit the direction of movement of the paper 6. When the paper 6 moves in the direction toward the transfer rollers for printing 4, in the case where the paper 6 moves into the first channel 10 by mistake, the end of the paper 6 abuts against the upper plate 14, the upper plate 14 limits the further movement of the paper 6 in the same direction, and the end of the paper 6 deforms itself after abutting against the upper plate 14 without continuing to move in the direction toward the transfer rollers for printing 4.

[0050] Referring to Figures 3 and 5, the film cutting assembly 3 comprises a film cutting seat 18, a cutting head for film cutting 19 is slidably disposed on the film cutting seat 18, a drive member configured to cause the cutting head for film cutting 19 to move in a Z-axis direction is disposed on the film cutting seat 18, and a film cutting platform 20 is disposed below the cutting head for film cutting 19. The film cutting seat 18 has a first drive portion for causing the cutting head for film cutting 19 to move in a direction toward the film cutting platform 20.A second drive part for driving the film cutting seat 18 to move in an X-axis direction and in the Y-axis direction is provided in the housing 1, a drive monitoring device is provided on the second drive part, and the drive monitoring device is connected to the second drive part to transfer. electrical signals. When the film cutting assembly 3 performs a film cutting operation, the film cutting seat 18 is driven to move in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction by the second driving part, such that the film cutting seat 18 moves the cutting head for film cutting 19 to the position where the film cutting is to be performed. The first driving part then causes the cutting head for film cutting 19 to move downward, such that the cutting head for film cutting 19 contacts the laminating film of the paper 6 to press the paper 6 against the film cutting platform 20.The second driving part works in this process to move the cutting head for film cutting 19, and the cutting head for film cutting 19 performs shape cutting on the laminating film during the movement, to form the required shape and specification of the laminating film, thereby completing the film cutting process.

[0051] Referring to Figures 1 and 3, the film cutting platform 20 has a paper monitoring device 17 for detecting the end of the paper 6, and the film cutting assembly 3 and the actuator for film cutting are both connected to the paper monitoring device 17 to transfer electrical signals. The paper monitoring device 17 is configured to monitor a position of an end edge of the paper 6. When the paper monitoring device 17 verifies that the distance between the monitoring device and the end edge of the paper 6 reaches a set distance, the position information of the paper 6 at that time is recorded as zero point information, and the position information of the entire paper 6, i.e., the position of the paper 6 at that time, can be obtained from the zero point information.The paper monitoring device 17 sends the zero point information, and the actuator for film cutting drives the transfer rollers for film cutting 5 to move the paper 6 in the direction toward the film cutting assembly 3 at a set speed. When the paper 6 moves to a set position, the film cutting assembly 3 operates to perform an accurate film cutting operation.

[0052] Referring to [Fig. 3], the housing 1 is configured with an access opening 15, the access opening 15 is located between the printing assembly 2 and the film cutting assembly 3, and a cover plate 16 for closing the access opening 15 is detachably connected to the housing 1. The provision of the access opening 15 facilitates timely overhaul and maintenance of various components in the housing 1, and when a paper jam accidentally occurs in the housing 1, the paper can also be removed through the access opening 15, thereby improving the working convenience of the integrated machine. During daily operation of the integrated machine, the access opening 15 is closed by the cover plate 16, in order to prevent foreign bodies do not enter the housing 1 and affect the operation of the various components in the housing 1.

[0053] The housing 1 comprises a base and a cover, and various components of the integrated machine are arranged on the base. In normal use of the integrated machine, the cover covers the base and encloses the various components of the integrated machine, thereby preventing the various components of the integrated machine from being directly exposed to the outside and thus being vulnerable to impact. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, to facilitate the representation of the various components of the integrated machine, the cover is not connected to the base.

[0054] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, in the embodiment of the present invention, components of a conventional printer can be referred to for the specific structure of the printing assembly 2. The first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism are configured as a gear and a synchronous belt which cooperate with each other, so as to respectively drive the film cutting seat 18 to move in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, and a drive source for driving the gear to rotate is configured as a DC motor. The drive monitoring device is an encoder disk 24 mounted on the DC motor.An output shaft of the DC motor rotates, to correspondingly move the film cutting seat 18, and the encoding disk 24 detects a rotation state of the output shaft of the DC motor in this process and then monitors an actual movement state of the film cutting seat 18. When the encoding disk 24 detects a deviation between the actual movement state and the theoretical movement state of the film cutting seat 18, the encoding disk 24 outputs a signal, and a corresponding DC motor acquires the signal and performs error compensation in time, thereby reducing a film cutting deviation.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present invention, the actuator for printing and the actuator for film cutting are both designed as motors of the same specification and model, an output shaft of each motor is coaxially and fixedly connected to a transfer roller, so that a rotation of the corresponding transfer roller is realized by the rotation of the output shaft of the motor.

[0056] The operating principle of the integrated thermal sublimation printing and film cutting machine of embodiment 1 of the present invention is as follows. Referring to [Fig.6], when it is necessary to print and perform film cutting on the paper 6, the paper 6 is introduced into the housing 1 through the paper inlet 7, so that the end of the paper 6 enters between the two transfer rollers for printing 4. The two transfer rollers for printing 4 are then rotated by the actuator for printing, so that the clamping and conveying of the paper 6 are realized by the rotation of the two transfer rollers for printing 4. The printing assembly 2 operates to print and laminate a film on the paper 6 during the conveying of the paper 6. Through the aforementioned process, a movement direction of the paper 6 can be changed by changing the rotation direction of the transfer rollers for printing 4, so that the paper 6 advances and retreats to perform a reciprocating movement, and the printing assembly 2 thus performs multi-step operations on the paper 6 to complete the printing and film lamination on the paper 6.

[0057] Referring to Figures 3 and 7, after the printing and film lamination on the paper 6 are completed, the transfer rollers for printing 4 rotate to move the paper 6 toward the transfer rollers for film cutting 5, and when the end of the paper 6 arrives between the two transfer rollers for film cutting 5, the actuator for film cutting drives the transfer rollers for film cutting 5 to rotate, and the clamping and conveying of the paper 6 are realized by the rotation of the transfer rollers for film cutting 5, whereby the paper 6 moves in the direction toward the film cutting assembly 3, and then the film cutting assembly 3 operates to perform the film cutting process on the paper 6. As the film cutting assembly 3 operates, the end of the paper 6 leaves the transfer rollers for printing 4.The movement direction of the paper 6 can be changed by changing the rotation direction of the transfer rollers for film cutting 5, so that the paper 6 can exit and enter via the paper outlet 8 so as to reciprocate, and the film cutting assembly 3 can perform multi-step operations on the paper 6, thereby completing the film cutting process of the paper 6.

[0058] After the printing and film cutting process of the paper 6 is completed, the transfer rollers for film cutting 5 rotate to move the paper 6 out of the paper outlet 8, thereby completing the entire processing of the paper 6. Since the shortest distance between the transfer rollers for printing 4 and the transfer rollers for film cutting 5 is less than the length of the paper 6, the paper 6 does not leave the transfer rollers for printing 4 and / or the transfer rollers for film cutting 5 during the entire conveyance of the paper 6, thereby achieving stable conveyance of the paper 6 and preventing the paper 6 from falling into the housing 1.

[0059] Embodiment 2

[0060] Embodiment 2 differs from embodiment 1 in that, with reference to [Fig. 8], two paper monitoring devices 17 are arranged at the paper outlet 8, and the two paper monitors 17 are arranged in a width direction of the paper 6 and parallel to each other.

[0061] The paper monitoring device 17 is configured to detect the position of the end edge of the paper 6, and the two paper monitoring devices 17 cooperate with each other to reduce an error. Since the two paper monitoring devices 17 are parallel to each other in the width direction of the paper 6, distance information monitored by the two paper monitoring devices 17 must be consistent. When the distance information monitored by the two paper monitoring devices 17 is not consistent and has a large difference, it indicates that the paper 6 is skewed or some of the paper monitoring devices 17 are damaged; at this time, the position of the paper 6 must be adjusted in time or the integrated machine must be overhauled.

[0062] Referring to [Fig.9], the film cutting seat 18 has an air blowing seat 21, the air blowing seat 21 is configured with an air blowing port 22, and the air blowing port 22 is arranged vertically and in communication with the outside. The film cutting seat 18 has an air blowing member for supplying air to the air blowing port 22.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present invention, the air blowing element is designed as a small air blower 23, and an air outlet of the air blower 23 is in communication with the air blowing port 22, thereby supplying air to the air blowing port 22.

[0064] The implementation principle of embodiment 2 is that the air blower 23 works when the cutting head for film cutting 19 performs the film cutting process, the air blower 23 supplies air to the air blowing port 22 through the air blowing seat 21, and the air is blown vertically downward onto the paper 6 through the air blowing port 22, thereby preventing the laminating film of the paper 6 from being caught by the cutting head for film cutting 19 when cutting the film, which consequently affects the film cutting process of the paper 6. On the other hand, since the gas is blown vertically from the air blowing port 22, the vertical displacement of the paper 6 can be limited, which improves the stability of the paper 6 in the film cutting process.

[0065] The above constitutes preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any equivalent modification made in accordance with the structure, form and principle of the present invention should be understood within the scope of the present invention.
