The driving motor 32 is connected with the screw 33 and is used to drive the screw 33 to rotate. The screw 33 is in threaded connection with the nut 37 so as to change the rotary motion of the screw 33 into the linear motion of the nut 37. The nut 37 is connected with the heat transfer plate component 35 through the connecting component 34 so as to drive the heat transfer plate component 35 to lift, so that heat transfer can be carried out. The driving motor 32, the screw 33 and the nut 37 are provided, so that an air pump and an air storage cylinder in the conventional means can be replaced, and the volume of the automatic heat transfer machine can be reduced. Moreover, in use, the driving motor 32 generates less noise, thereby improving the user experience. In addition, the automatic heat transfer machine can avoid air leakage after long-term use and is suitable for use in home environment.

In this embodiment, the connecting component 34 comprises a pressing plate 342 and a connecting post 343. The nut 37 is mounted on the pressing plate 342. The connecting post 343 is slidably connected with the pressing plate 342 and is connected with the heat transfer plate component 35. Specifically, the driving motor 32 drives the screw 33 to rotate. The screw 33 is in threaded connection with the nut 37 so as to change the rotary motion of the screw 33 into the linear motion of the nut 37. In this way, the nut 37 can drive the pressing plate 342 to lift. The pressing plate 342 drives the pressing plate component 35 to lift through the connecting post 343, so that the pressing plate component 35 can carry out heat transfer on products.

In an embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the heat transfer mechanism 3 further comprises a guide rod 344. The guide rod 344 is installed on the wall surface of the accommodating space 100 and penetrates through the pressing plate 342 to guide the pressing plate 342 to lift. The guide rod 344 is provided. In this way, the moving path of the pressing plate 342 can be guided during the lifting of the pressing plate 342, so that the heat transfer plate component 35 can be lifted along the moving path.

In this embodiment, a plurality of guide rods 344 are circumferentially provided at intervals around the pressing plate 342. A plurality of guide rods 344 are provided, so that the pressing plate 342 moves more smoothly.

In an embodiment, with continued reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, the connecting component 34 further comprises an elastic element 345. The elastic element 345 is sleeved with the connecting post 343 and is elastically abutted between the pressing plate 342 and the heat transfer plate component 35. Specifically, the elastic element 345 can be a spring. The spring is sleeved with the connecting post 343.

In this embodiment, the connecting post 343 comprises a sliding rod 3431 and an abutting part 3432 connected to the sliding rod 3431. The sliding rod 3431 is slidably connected with the pressing plate 342, and the abutting part 3432 is capable of being abutted against the pressing plate 342.

Specifically, in a normal state of the elastic element 345, both ends of the elastic element 345 are abutted against the pressing plate 342 and the heat transfer plate component 35, respectively, so that the abutting part 3432 is capable of being abutted against the pressing plate 342. In the heat transfer process of the heat transfer plate component 35, under the acting force of the workbench 4, the heat transfer plate component 35 drives the sliding rod 3431 to move with respect to the pressing plate 342, and the abutting part 3432 is not abutted against the pressing plate 342. At this time, the heat transfer plate component 35 and the pressing plate 342 squeeze the elastic element 345. The heat transfer plate component 35 transmits the acting force to the elastic element 345, so that the heat transfer plate component 35 can play a buffering role, thereby avoiding excessive pressure on the hot stamping products and protecting the hot stamping products.

Further, a plurality of connecting posts 343 are circumferentially provided at intervals around the pressing plate 342, and a plurality of elastic elements 345 are provided in one-to-one correspondence with the connecting posts 343.

In addition, the silica gel pad 6 can also play a role in heat insulation, so as to avoid transferring heat to the workbench 4.

In an embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the heat transfer mechanism 3 further comprises a control panel 36. The control panel 36 is exposed on the shell 31. The control panel 36 can control the heat transfer temperature and time of the heat transfer plate component 35.

The workflow of the present disclosure is as follows. After the automatic heat transfer machine is powered on, the temperature and time are set on the control panel 36. When the temperature rises to the set value, the heat transfer mechanism 3 rotates with respect to the upright post 2, or the handheld element 5 is pulled so that the workbench 4 slides with respect to the base 1. The hot stamping products are then placed on the silica gel pad 6, and then the workbench 4 is pushed to the original position, or the heat transfer mechanism 3 rotates directly above the workbench 4.

The start button on the control panel 36 is pressed. The driving motor 32 drives the screw 33 to rotate counterclockwise. The screw 33 drives the nut 37, the connecting component 34 and the heat transfer plate component 35 to move close to the hot stamping products. Finally, the heat transfer plate component 35 compresses and presses the hot stamping products for heat transfer. After the hot stamping time, the control panel 36 controls the driving motor 32 to drive the screw 33 to rotate clockwise. The screw 33 then drives the nut 37, the connecting component 34 and the heat transfer plate component 35 to move away from the hot stamping products. Subsequently, the heat transfer mechanism 3 rotates with respect to the upright post 2, or the handheld element 5 is pulled to slide the workbench 4 with respect to the base 1. The products which have carried out hot stamping are taken out, and the hot stamping operation ends.

The technical features of the embodiments described above can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of these technical features, they should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.

What has been disclosed above is only the preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, and of course cannot be used to limit the scope of claims of the present disclosure. Therefore, the equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present disclosure still fall within the scope covered by the present disclosure.
