Description

Heat press with improved operating structure

The present invention relates to a heat press, and more particularly, to a heat press having an improved operating structure capable of structurally simplifying the device, ensuring operational stability and worker safety through improvement of the operating structure of a swing arm according to the replacement of a heating plate and a cooling plate.

In general, mountaineering clothing and various other types of clothing must be provided with a waterproof function, and to provide waterproof treatment, waterproof fabric and outer skin are bonded together by heat and pressure to provide the waterproof function.

Additionally, to improve the perfection of the product, the manufactured clothing is ironed flat.

Meanwhile, in order to heat-press fabrics such as mountaineering clothing, a small iron that can be held and used with one hand is usually available, and a large ironing device having a heating plate that moves up and down by an actuator may be used.

The ironing device as described above is generally equipped with a work table on which fabrics such as mountaineering clothing can be placed, and a heating plate capable of being raised and lowered is equipped on the upper part of the work table. The heating plate is configured to be raised and lowered in the up and down directions using a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder.

However, in the ironing device described above, there are frequent cases where the heating plate that rises vertically suddenly falls, causing injuries to the worker. Normally, the heating plate is raised and lowered by receiving driving force from an actuator such as a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. However, if the air or hydraulic hose that provides pressure to the actuator is separated from the actuator or the air or hydraulic hose is damaged or cut, the heating plate, which is a heavy chain, rapidly falls vertically, causing serious injuries to the worker's hands.

Accordingly, to solve the above problems, a heat press having a structure in which a swing arm, a heating plate, and a cooling plate rotate has been proposed.

However, the conventional heat press described above has problems in that the heating and cooling plates change positions through rotational operation to perform the heat compression and cooling operations, making it mechanically very complex and prone to failure. In addition, there is a problem in that the heating and cooling plates may collide with workers located in front during the rotation and swing operations, resulting in a safety accident.

Accordingly, the stopping operation part (572)(572') releases the engaging force of the engaging projections (571a)(571a') by the operation of the stopping cylinder (573) when the rotating block (571) rotates 180° along the rotating shaft (420), and when the rotation is completed, the stopping block (576) engages and fixes the engaging projections (571a)(571a'), respectively, thereby maintaining the fixed state of the rotating shaft (420) and preventing movement of the rotating heating plate (430) or cooling plate (440), thereby enabling stable pressurizing operation.

Meanwhile, it would be natural for the rotation driving means (500) in the present invention to be finished with a cover or the like.

Meanwhile, the present invention may further include an opening/closing plate (460) that opens and closes the front of the pressurizing plate (410) when the heating plate (430) and the cooling plate (440) are exchanged by the rotation of the rotating shaft (420) on the front of the pressurizing plate (410).

And, the opening/closing cylinder (462) is configured so that an opening/closing cylinder rod (463) can be extended to the front, and the tip of the opening/closing cylinder rod (463) is configured so as to be rotatably connected to the rear of the opening/closing plate (460).

Accordingly, the rotary shaft (420) is operated in conjunction with the opening/closing cylinder (462), so that the front of the pressurized plate (410) is opened to allow the heating plate (430) and the cooling plate (440) to be exchanged, and the front is closed again when the exchange is complete to protect the worker from heat generation from the heating plate (430).

Meanwhile, in configuring a heat press (1) having an improved operating structure of the present invention, it is possible to configure it so that work on various fabrics can be performed by adjusting the height and angle of the work table (120) and adjusting the angle of the pressurizing part (400) with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11.

To this end, first, let's look at the height and angle adjustment structure of the workbench (120).

First, a pair of worktable supports (122) symmetrically protruding upward are formed on the upper front of the main body (100) on both sides, and a pair of vertical holes (122a) are formed on both sides of the upper portion of the worktable support (122).

In addition, an angle-adjusting support (123) is configured to overlap inside each of the above worktable supports (122), and the angle-adjusting support (123) is fastened with a height-adjusting bolt (123a) that penetrates the vertical hole (122a) and is configured to protrude upward.

And, in the angle adjustment support (123), an axial hole (123b) is formed in the protruding upper center, and on both sides of the axial hole (123b), an arc-shaped hole (123c) is formed through the axial hole (123b) in the shape of an “arc” centered on the axial hole.

In addition, an angle adjustment member (124) is configured to overlap inside each of the angle adjustment support members (123), and the angle adjustment member (124) is configured to be rotatable by forming an axial pin (124a) that penetrates the axial hole (123b).

And the angle adjustment member (124) is configured to be fastened with an angle adjustment bolt (124b) penetrating the above-mentioned arc-shaped hole (123c).

Accordingly, the work table (120) is configured to be connected and mounted on the upper end of the angle adjustment stand (124), and the work table (120) mounted in this manner is configured to be able to adjust the height by adjusting the up and down movement of the angle adjustment stand (123) based on the work table support stand (122), and to adjust the left and right angle on the side by adjusting the rotation of the angle adjustment stand (124) with the shaft hole (123b) of the angle adjustment support stand (123) as the axis.

In addition, looking at the angle adjustment structure of the pressurizing part (400) in the present invention,

This is because the pressurizing part (400) is configured to be connected to the pressurizing support (230) of the swing arm (300) through the pressurizing base (410), and this is made possible by adjusting the angle of the pressurizing support (230).

To this end, first, an axial hole (210a) is configured to penetrate horizontally in front of each of the swing plates (210), and an arc-shaped hole (210b) is configured to penetrate horizontally in all directions centered on the axial hole (210a) to form an “arc” shape.

In addition, a connecting member (231) that overlaps the swing plate (210) is formed on both sides of the upper portion of the pressurized support member (230). At this time, the connecting member (231) is configured to be rotatable by forming an axial pin (231a) that penetrates the axial hole (210a).

And each connecting member (231) is configured to be fastened with an angle adjustment bolt (231b) penetrating the above-mentioned arc-shaped hole (210a).

Accordingly, the pressure member (400) is configured to be angle-adjustable by adjusting the rotation of the pressure support member (230), and to be able to adjust the left and right angles on the side by adjusting the rotation of the connecting member (231) with the shaft hole (210a) of the swing plate (210) as the axis.

Hereinafter, the operation of the heat press having the improved operating structure of the present invention having the above configuration will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 11, the heat press (1) having an improved operating structure of the present invention ensures improved swing operation and worker safety due to improved width structure of the device.

So, if we look at the operating status,

Referring to Fig. 12, the upper part of the work table (120) prior to the first operation of the heat press (1) having the improved operating structure of the present invention is exposed, which is made possible by the operation of the swing cylinder (300) so that the swing cylinder rod (310) is pulled out and the swing arm (200) is rotated and pushed forward upward around the swing axis (211).

In addition, the arrangement of the heating plate (430) and the cooling plate (440) is such that the heating plate (430) is positioned at the bottom of the mounting stand (421) and the cooling plate (440) is positioned at the top of the mounting stand (421) due to the nature of performing thermal compression.

In addition, the rotation guide rod (560) formed on the mounting base (421) is positioned on the upper part of the rotation guide hole (550) formed on the side plate (411') on the other side.

Accordingly, the fabric (10) to be ironed is placed on the upper part of the exposed work table (120), and when the vacuum device (110) is operated while placing it, suction power is applied to the vacuum hole (121) of the pressurizing table (410), and the placed fabric is adsorbed and fixed without movement.

Thereafter, when the press operation is performed with reference to FIG. 13, the swing cylinder rod (310) is pulled in by the operation of the swing cylinder (300), thereby pulling the swing arm (200) downward, so that the pressurizing portion (400) swings down and the heating plate (430) pressurizes the upper part of the work table (120) and irons the fabric (10). After the ironing is completed, the swing arm (200) is pushed upward by the withdrawal operation of the swing cylinder rod (310), thereby raising the pressurizing portion (400) and opening the work table (120).

Thereafter, the fabric (10) that has been ironed as described above is quickly cooled, which is first made possible by the cooling plate (440).

At this time, the cooling plate (440) is mounted by the operation of the rotation drive means (500) with reference to FIG. 14, and when the drive cylinder rod (541) is pulled in by the operation of the drive cylinder (540), the front and rear sprockets (510) (520) rotate along with the movement of the drive chain (530). At this time, the rotation axis (420) formed in the front sprocket (510) rotates 180° up and down, and the upper and lower positions of the heating plate (430) and the cooling plate (440) are exchanged.

At this time, in the present invention, as described above, when the rotation shaft (420) rotates, the rotation guide rod (560) also rotates along with the rotation guide hole (550), thereby enabling stable rotation operation.

In addition, in the present invention, when the heating plate (430) and the cooling plate (440) are exchanged up and down as described above, stable fixation in the exchanged state is possible, and this is made possible by the rotation fixing means (570).

This means that the stopping operation parts (572)(572') on both the upper and lower sides release the engaging force of the engaging projections (571a)(571a') when the rotation shaft (420) rotates by the operation of the stopping cylinder (573) to enable free rotation, and when the rotation is complete, the stopping block (576) engages and fixes the engaging projections (571a)(571a'), respectively, thereby enabling stable fixation without rotational movement of the heating plate (430) and the cooling plate (440).

In addition, in the present invention, when the positions of the heating plate (430) and the cooling plate (440) are exchanged along with the rotation of the rotation shaft (420) as described above, the opening/closing plate (460) formed on the front of the pressurized plate (410) opens and closes, thereby preventing the worker at the front from colliding with the heating plate (430) or the cooling plate (440), and automatically closing when the exchange is completed, thereby preventing the heat generated from the heating plate (430) from being radiated to the front.

Accordingly, when the cooling plate (440) is mounted as described above, rapid cooling of the continuously ironed fabric (10) is performed.

This means that, with reference to Fig. 15, the swing arm (200) is pulled downward in the process of the swing cylinder rod (310) being introduced by the operation of the swing cylinder (300), and thus the pressurizing part (400) is lowered and the cooling plate (440) pressurizes the upper part of the work table (120) and cools the heated fabric (10).

Thereafter, when the cooling of the ironed fabric (10) as described above is completed, the swing arm (200) is pushed upward by the withdrawal operation of the swing cylinder rod (310) to raise the pressurizing part (400) and open the work table (120). At this time, the upper and lower positions of the heating plate (430) and the cooling plate (440) are exchanged through the 180° reverse rotation of the rotation shaft (420) to prepare for the next operation.

Meanwhile, the heat press (1) having the improved operating structure of the present invention enables stable operation at all times by adjusting the height and angle of the work table (120) and adjusting the angle of the pressurizing part (400) according to the thickness or type of the fabric (10) during the ironing process of the fabric (10) as described above.

Referring to FIG. 16, first, the work table (120) is configured to be connected and mounted on the upper end of the angle adjustment stand (124), and the work table (120) mounted in this manner can be adjusted in height along the vertical hole (122a) by adjusting the fastening force of the height adjustment bolt (123a) based on the work table support stand (122) as in (a), so that the height can be adjusted according to the thickness of the fabric and the pressure of the pressure unit (400) can be adjusted.

In addition, the worktable (120) can adjust its angle by adjusting the rotation of the angle adjustment stand (124) by adjusting the fastening force of the angle adjustment bolt (124b) with the shaft hole (123b) of the angle adjustment support (123) as the axis point, as in (b).

In addition, referring to FIG. 17, the pressurizing member (400) is adjustable to correspond to the angle of the work table (120), and by adjusting the fastening force of the angle adjustment bolt (231b), the pressurizing support member (230) is rotated with (210a) as the axis point, thereby enabling the angle of the pressurizing member (400) connected to the pressurizing support member (230) to be adjusted.

As described above, the heat press having the improved operating structure of the present invention ensures safety through the exchange configuration and the opening/closing operation of the front by arranging the heating plate and the cooling plate in a vertical row and rotating them 180°, thereby simplifying the device and ensuring the safety of the worker in the front, thereby enabling efficient and safe ironing work.

The heat press having the improved operating structure of the present invention is configured such that heating plates and cooling plates are formed symmetrically on the upper and lower sides of a rotating shaft and are interchangeable and installed according to the 180° reciprocating rotation of the rotating shaft, thereby enabling simplification such as reduction of the device due to reduction in the width structure of a pressing table, and an opening/closing plate that can be opened and closed only during the rotational exchange of the heating plate and cooling plate is configured in the front of the pressing table for reduction in the width structure, thereby ensuring the safety of the worker at all times, and since the height and angle of the working table and the angle of the pressing part are adjustable, it has the convenient effect of enabling work at various heights or angles depending on the thickness or type of the fabric to be worked on.
