Abstract
An imprinting apparatus includes an imprinting platform, an imprinting roller, a transfer module and a lifting and pressing mechanism. The imprinting roller is disposed above the imprinting platform. The transfer module includes a transfer film, wherein the transfer film is located between the imprinting roller and the imprinting platform. The lifting and pressing mechanism is linked with the imprinting roller, wherein the lifting and pressing mechanism drives the imprinting roller to move along a normal direction of the imprinting platform and selectively pressurizes the imprinting roller.
Claims13
An imprinting apparatus, comprising:
- an imprinting platform;
- an imprinting roller disposed above the imprinting platform;
- a transfer module comprising a transfer film, wherein the transfer film is located between the imprinting roller and the imprinting platform;
- a lifting and pressing mechanism, linked with the imprinting roller, wherein the lifting and pressing mechanism drives the imprinting roller to move along a normal direction of the imprinting platform and selectively pressurizes the imprinting roller;
- a film separation module;
- and
- a fixing module, wherein the transfer module comprises a frame, the transfer film is disposed at the frame, the frame is detachably disposed at the film separation module by the fixing module,
- when the imprinting roller is moved by the lifting and pressing mechanism to a first position, the lifting and pressing mechanism does not pressurize the imprinting roller, the imprinting roller contacts the transfer film located on the imprinting platform, and the transfer film is pressed by a weight of the imprinting roller,
- when the imprinting roller is moved by the lifting and pressing mechanism to a second position, the lifting and pressing mechanism pressurizes the imprinting roller, the imprinting roller contacts the transfer film, and the transfer film is pressed by a combination of the weight of the imprinting roller and a pressure of the lifting and pressing mechanism,
- wherein the fixing module comprises a first fixing member fixed at the film separation module, a second fixing member fixed at the frame, a first rotating member passing through a first hole of the film separation module and located at a side of the first fixing member, and a second rotating member passing through the first fixing member and located between the first rotating member and the second fixing member.
