Patent ID: 7195476

Claim:
A heating-type vacuum press apparatus, comprising: (1) a base; (2) a workpiece-receiving table arranged on the base and equipped with a heater; (3) a lower fixed frame arranged on the base such that the lower fixed frame surrounds the receiving table, while being spaced from the receiving table; (4) a press plate opposed to the receiving table and equipped with a heater; (5) a fitting plate from which the press plate is hanged; (6) a fitting plate/press plate driving mechanism adapted for vertically moving the fitting plate and the press plate and pressing the press plate on the workpiece on the receiving table by moving down the fitting plate and the press plate; (7) an upper movement frame hanged from the fitting plate such that the upper movement frame surrounds the press plate, while being spaced from the press plate, open end faces of the upper movement frame and the lower fixed frame being opposed to each other, and the upper movement frame being approachable to or space from the lower fixed frame; (8) a gas-tight sliding mechanism for ensuring gas-tightness between the lower fixed frame and the upper movement frame, an isolation chamber being defined by the lower fixed frame, the upper movement frame, the base and the fitting plate through the gas-tight sliding mechanism; (9) a sliding mechanism for driving the gas-tight sliding mechanism, the sliding mechanism sliding the gas-tight sliding mechanism to form the isolation chamber; and (10) a suction hole opened to the isolation chamber and adapted to be connected to a vacuum device, the isolation chamber being sucked to vacuum via the suction hole; and wherein a first supporting rod supports the receiving table equipped with the heater while the receiving table is spaced from the base, and a second supporting rod supports the press plate equipped with the heater while the press plate is spaced from the fitting plate.
