Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] [0001] The present invention relates to an in-mold transfer method. [Prior Art] [0002] In the in-mold forming process, only the first mold side is vacuumed at a normal temperature to adsorb and position the foil film in the first mold cavity, so the depth of the foil film is limited by the base layer of the box film. The tensile limit itself in the normal temperature state, for example, when the foil itself is stretched beyond its natural state by 20%, it may be broken or broken; in addition, when the first mold cavity is designed with a small angle (especially the acute angle) When the structure is limited, the foil film is not easily compatible with the shape of the cavity due to the negative pressure generated by vacuuming and the limitation of the normal temperature deformation of the foil substrate layer material. [0003] Based on the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, a process for preheating a foil film has appeared in the industry. As in the prior art, an independent heating device for heating a foil film before clamping is disclosed, which is independent of the heating device. Outside the mold, when heating is required, an additional conveying device is required to send the heating device to the first mold member to heat the foil film. After heating, the heating device is removed from the male first mold by the conveying device. . Therefore, the conventional technology requires not only the design of the heating device but also the conveying device used in conjunction with it, resulting in a large structure and high cost of the entire device; and the entire process time is increased and the efficiency is low. In this technology, there is also a lack of depth of the foil film and a limitation of the small angle structure.
