The invention relates to the technical field of handicraft tools, particularly to the technical field of pattern stamping, and in particular to a seal stamping machine.
The seal stamping machine is a device that transfers the ink to a stamping carrier through a graphic by squeezing two plates. By using seal stamping machines, consumers can stamp their favorite patterns on paper, clothes or other stamping carriers. For example, a Chinese Patent CN109353135A (patent NO: CN201811045056.3) disclosed a stamping machine. The stamping machine comprises a main body, wherein the main body comprises a soleplate for placing a carrier and a seal, a pressure plate that cooperates with the soleplate to press the carrier and the seal, and a magnetic mechanism that generates a mutual attraction force between the pressure plate and the soleplate, and an operating space for placing the carrier and the seal is defined on an upper surface of the soleplate.
Compared with ordinary manual seal stamping machines, the seal stamping machine can obtain richer stamp patterns, and is more convenient to use. However, the exiting seal stamping machines generally have the following problems: (1) the positioning between two plates is unstable, and the seal is easy to displace in the stamping process, thereby resulting in the dislocation or blur of the stamped pattern and affecting the stamping quality; (2) the seal is stressed unevenly, so that the stamped pattern has different shades of color and needs to be stamped again, and the stamping quality and the user's experience are affected; and, (3) if the pattern is stamped incomplete for the first time and needs to be stamped again, it is very difficult to ensure that the patterns stamped for two times are overlapped since the previous positioning cannot be achieved accurately.
It is a first object of the present invention to provide a seal stamping machine which is convenient for positioning.
