Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of book assembly, and particularly relates to an automatic book case covering system. Background Art

[0002] During the process of book assembly and processing, it is necessary to convey the book core and the book case, and then assemble the book case outside the book core and glue the two together.

[0003] As disclosed in a prior patent, a book core and book case conveying, gluing and binding integrated processing device (application number: CN202122579552.0), includes a book core gluing mechanism and a book case in-place station that cooperate with each other. A book pressing mechanism is arranged on one side of the book case in-place station, and a book conveying mechanism is also included. Among them, the book pressing mechanism includes a first pressing mechanism and a second pressing mechanism. The book core and the book case are respectively conveyed by corresponding conveying devices, and the book case waits for the gluing of the book core at the book case in-place station. The book core is conveyed by the book conveying mechanism as a carrier to the book core gluing mechanism to apply glue to the book core, and after gluing, it is preliminarily formed into a book with the book case at the book case in-place station, and then continues to be conveyed through the book pressing mechanism including the first pressing mechanism and the second pressing mechanism to perform double pressing on the glued book. However, in this device, when the book case is transported, it is transported and loaded through the cooperation of the book case conveying mechanism and the book case loading mechanism, but there is no book case slow storage structure in this process, and the cooperation requirements for the book case conveying mechanism and the book case loading mechanism are higher. When the loading speed of the book case loading mechanism is faster than the speed of the book case conveying mechanism, book cases will accumulate, affecting the normal conveying of the book cases; when the loading speed of the book case loading mechanism is slower than the speed of the book case conveying mechanism, the overall conveying rate of the book cases will decrease; thus affecting the efficiency of book assembly. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The technical object of the utility model is to provide an automatic book case covering system, which can be used to convey the book case and the book core, and glue the book case and the book core, and has a storage buffer structure when transporting the book case, which can be used to buffer the book case, making the system more stable.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows.

[0006] An automatic book case covering system, characterized in that the system includes:

[0007] A loading and conveying assembly for loading the book case;

[0008] A book case conveying assembly for conveying the book case;

[0009] A book case fixing assembly for fixing the book case to assist in gluing the book case and the book core;

[0010] A buffer storage component for buffer storing book covers. A buffer storage position for accommodating book covers is provided on the buffer storage component. The buffer storage component is further provided with a delivery port for conveying book covers, and the delivery port is communicated with the lower end of the buffer storage position.

[0011] A book core transportation and gluing mechanism for transporting book cores and spreading and gluing the book cores.

[0012] A frame. The book core transportation and gluing mechanism, the feeding and conveying component, the book cover conveying component, the book cover conveying component, and the buffer storage component are all arranged on the frame. The feeding and conveying component is connected to the buffer storage position. The book cover conveying component is arranged at the lower end of the buffer storage position corresponding to the delivery port. The book core transportation and gluing mechanism corresponds to the book cover fixing component to glue the book core after transportation and gluing with the book cover at the book cover fixing component.

[0013] In this system, book covers are fed through the feeding and conveying component. At this time, the book covers fall into the buffer storage position of the buffer storage component for buffer storage. Then, the book cover conveying component conveys the lowermost book cover at the lower end inside the buffer storage position from the delivery port to the book cover fixing component, and the book cover is fixed by the book cover fixing component to assist in gluing the book cover and the book core. Through the buffer storage position of the buffer storage component, the system can realize the feeding, buffering, and conveying of book covers, making the book cover transportation process of the system more stable.

[0014] Further, the buffer storage component includes a storage mounting frame, two front blocking members, and two rear blocking members. The storage mounting frame is arranged on the frame. The front blocking members and the rear blocking members are both arranged on the storage mounting frame. The two front blocking members, the two rear blocking members, and the storage mounting frame enclose to form the buffer storage position. Both of the two front blocking members are provided with the delivery ports communicated with the lower front side of the buffer storage position. The upper rear side of the buffer storage position is connected to the feeding and conveying component. A conveying avoidance position communicated with the lower end of the buffer storage position is arranged on the storage mounting frame. The book cover conveying component is arranged at the lower end of the buffer storage position through the conveying avoidance position to correspond to the delivery port.

[0015] The book covers conveyed by the feeding and conveying component enter the buffer storage position from the upper rear side of the buffer storage position. The book cover conveying component extends into the lower end of the buffer storage position through the conveying avoidance position to convey the lowermost book cover at the lower end inside the buffer storage position from the delivery port to the book cover fixing component.

[0016] Further, the book cover conveying assembly includes a book cover conveying motor and a book cover conveying member. A first pushing protrusion is provided on the book cover conveying member, and a first retracting inclined surface for retracting the first pushing protrusion is provided at the rear side of the first pushing protrusion. The book cover conveying member is movably arranged at the conveying avoidance position, and the first pushing protrusion extends into the lower end of the buffer storage position to correspond to the conveying port. The book cover conveying motor is drivingly connected to the book cover conveying member.

[0017] The book cover conveying motor drives the book cover conveying member to move back and forth at the conveying avoidance position. When the book cover conveying member moves forward, the first pushing protrusion abuts against the rear end of the lowermost book cover in the buffer storage position and pushes the book cover to push the book cover out and convey it through the conveying port. When the book cover conveying member moves backward to reset, when there is still a book cover in the buffer storage position, the book cover in the buffer storage position can be pushed open by the first retracting inclined surface to reset smoothly.

[0018] Further, the first pushing protrusion is located at the rear end of the book cover conveying member, and a second pushing protrusion is further provided on the front end of the book cover conveying member. A second retracting inclined surface for retracting the second pushing protrusion is provided at the rear side of the second pushing protrusion. The second pushing protrusion corresponds to the book cover fixing assembly. When the book cover conveying member moves, the first pushing protrusion and the second pushing protrusion respectively push the book cover. Among them, the first pushing protrusion is used to push the book cover in the buffer storage position out through the conveying port, and the second pushing protrusion is used to push the book cover pushed out by the first pushing protrusion to the book cover fixing assembly. Specifically, the function of the second retracting inclined surface is the same as that of the first retracting inclined surface.

[0019] Further, a flattening support is further provided on the frame, and a flattening member is provided on the flattening support. The flattening member is arranged between the book cover fixing assembly and the buffer storage assembly, and a flattening channel for the book cover to pass through is provided between the flattening member and the frame. The two ends of the flattening channel respectively correspond to the conveying port and the book cover fixing assembly. The setting of the flattening support can ensure the stability of the book cover during conveying through the flattening channel.

[0020] Further, a flattening brush is provided on the flattening member, and the flattening brush extends into the flattening channel. The flattening brush is used to abut against the book cover to ensure the stability of the book cover during conveying.

[0022] When the book cover is conveyed to the book cover fixing assembly by the book cover conveying assembly, both ends of the book cover respectively enter the fixed sliding grooves of the two book cover fixing brackets, and the book cover is fixed by the fixed sliding grooves; when the book core is conveyed up from below the book core avoidance position to be glued to the book cover, the two first driving cylinders can be respectively used to drive the two active parts to move, so as to simultaneously release both sides of the book cover, enabling the book cover and the book core to be smoothly glued.

[0023] Further, the book cover fixing assembly further includes a sucker movement bracket, a sucker mounting bracket, and a second driving cylinder. The sucker movement bracket is fixedly arranged on the machine frame, and the sucker mounting bracket is movably arranged on the sucker movement bracket; the second driving cylinder is fixedly arranged on the sucker movement bracket and is drivingly connected with the sucker mounting bracket; suckers are arranged on the sucker mounting bracket, and the suckers correspond to the book core avoidance position. The second driving cylinder can drive the sucker mounting bracket to move up and down at the sucker movement bracket, so that the suckers on the sucker mounting bracket can move up and down, realizing the adsorption and fixation of the book cover moving to the book cover fixing assembly.

[0024] Further, the book cover fixing assembly further includes a book cover pressing assembly which is arranged on the sucker mounting bracket and corresponds to the book core avoidance position. The arrangement of the book cover pressing assembly can cooperate with the suckers on the sucker mounting bracket to press grooves on the book cover.

[0025] Further, the pressing shell assembly includes a pressing shell bracket, a third driving cylinder, and two pressing strips 351. The pressing shell bracket is arranged on the suction cup moving bracket. The two pressing strips 351 are both movably arranged on the pressing shell bracket and are parallel to each other. The third driving cylinder is arranged on the pressing shell bracket and is drivingly connected to the pressing strips 351 to drive the pressing strips 351 to move up and down. The pressing strips 351 correspond to the book core avoidance positions. The third driving cylinder can drive the pressing strips 351 to move up and down on the pressing shell bracket, so that the system can be applicable to both soft book covers and hard book covers. Specifically, when the book cover is a hard book cover, the third driving cylinder can drive the pressing strips 351 to descend on the pressing shell bracket, so that the pressing strips 351 can press grooves on the book cover. When the book cover is a soft book cover, since there is no need to press grooves on the soft book cover, the third driving cylinder can drive the pressing strips 351 to ascend on the pressing shell bracket.

[0026] Further, the book core transportation and gluing mechanism includes:

[0027] A conveying track, on which a guiding chute for guiding the book core in a vertical state is arranged;

[0028] A top-opening assembly for expanding the book core, which is arranged at one end of the conveying track to connect with one end of the guiding chute;

[0029] A pushing assembly for pushing the book core to move at the guiding chute. The pushing assembly is movable at the conveying track and corresponds to the guiding chute;

[0030] A pushing driving assembly for driving the pushing assembly to move at the conveying track. The pushing driving assembly is drivingly connected to the pushing assembly;

[0031] A gluing assembly for gluing the book core;

[0032] A top-opening driving assembly for driving the top-opening assembly to drive the book core to be glued with the book cover at the book cover fixing assembly after passing through the gluing assembly;

[0033] The gluing assembly, the top-opening driving assembly, the conveying track, the pushing driving assembly, and the top-opening assembly are all arranged on the machine frame. The top-opening driving assembly is drivingly connected to the top-opening assembly, and the top-opening assembly corresponds to both the gluing assembly and the book cover fixing assembly.

[0034] In the book core transportation and gluing mechanism, the book core enters the guiding chute in a vertical state, pushing the driving component to drive the pushing component to push one end of the book core, so that the book core slides in the guiding chute and is pushed to the top-opening component to be opened by the top-opening component; since the book core is pushed by the pushing component in the guiding chute and there is no need to squeeze both sides of the book core for pressing and pushing, no indentation will be left on the side of the book core; and when the book core moves to the top-opening component, the book core is not in a pressed state at this time, so the book core is easier to move onto the top-opening component to be opened by the top-opening component and it is not easy to cause damage to the book pages.

[0035] Further, the pushing component includes a pushing cylinder and a pushing piece. The pushing cylinder is drivingly connected to the pushing piece, and the pushing piece corresponds to the guiding chute. The arrangement of the pushing cylinder and the pushing piece can drive the pushing piece to extend by the pushing cylinder for pushing the book core.

[0036] Further, there are multiple pushing components. The multiple pushing components are all movably arranged at the conveying track and all correspond to the guiding chute; the pushing driving component is drivingly connected to all the pushing components. The multiple pushing components can respectively push multiple book cores to improve the feeding efficiency of the book cores. Specifically, the multiple pushing components perform repeated cyclic pushing, that is, the pushing cylinder drives the pushing piece to extend, and the pushing driving component drives the multiple pushing components to move for simultaneously pushing multiple book cores; then the pushing cylinder drives the pushing piece to retract, and the pushing driving component drives the multiple pushing components to reset to prepare for the next round of pushing, and this efficiency is higher.

[0037] Further, the pushing driving component includes a pushing motor and a linkage. The pushing motor is fixedly arranged on the frame, and the pushing motor is drivingly connected to the linkage, and the linkage is connected to all the pushing components. The pushing motor drives the pushing component to move through the linkage.

[0038] Further, the pushing driving component further includes a rotating wheel, a connecting shaft, a rotating connecting rod, a transmission piece, and a movable block. The motor is drivingly connected to the rotating wheel. One end of the connecting shaft is fixedly arranged at the center of the rotating wheel. The other end of the connecting shaft is fixed to one end of the rotating connecting rod. The transmission piece is fixed to the other end of the rotating connecting rod. A transmission groove is arranged on the movable block, and the transmission piece is movably arranged in the transmission groove; and the movable block is movably arranged on the frame, and the linkage is fixedly connected to the movable block. The rotating wheel rotates under the drive of the motor, and at the same time drives the rotating connecting rod to rotate around the center of the rotating wheel through the connecting shaft. The movable block is driven to move by the rotating connecting rod through the cooperation between the transmission groove and the transmission piece, and then drives the linkage to move through the movable block, and finally drives the pushing component to move through the linkage.

[0039] Further, the pushing and driving assembly includes a pulley and a belt. The motor is connected to the pulley, and both the pulley and the rotating wheel are engaged with the belt. The motor drives the rotating wheel to rotate through the pulley and the belt.

[0040] Further, the book core transportation and gluing mechanism further includes a book core conveying assembly for conveying the book core in a flat state and an adapter for converting the book core from a flat state to a vertical state. One end of the adapter is connected to the book core conveying assembly, and the other end of the adapter is inclined and then connected to the other end of the guiding chute. When the book core in the flat state is conveyed from the book core conveying assembly to the adapter, due to the inclined setting of the adapter, the book core is converted from the flat state to the vertical state and enters the guiding chute.

[0041] Further, the other end of the adapter is rotatably connected to the other end of the conveying track, and the adapter is a telescopic structure. The book core transportation and gluing mechanism can be adapted to book core conveying assemblies of different heights as needed; specifically, the length of the telescopic adapter can be adjusted, and the rotation of the other end of the adapter on the conveying track can be controlled so that one end of the adapter can be connected to the book core conveying assembly.

[0042] Further, the jacking assembly includes a jacking member. The jacking member includes a jacking portion and an inserting portion. The jacking portion is connected to the inserting portion. The inserting portion is connected to one end of the guiding chute, and an inserting inclined surface is inclinedly arranged on the inserting portion. The setting of this inserting inclined surface enables the inserting portion to be inserted into the book core from bottom to top in sequence to more smoothly open the book core.

[0043] Further, an inserting thin sheet is arranged at the inserting inclined surface. The inserting thin sheet is connected to the guiding chute, and the thickness of the inserting thin sheet gradually decreases from the side close to the inserting inclined surface to the side far from the inserting inclined surface. The setting of this inserting thin sheet can more smoothly insert and open the book core.

[0044] Further, the book core transportation and gluing mechanism further includes two guiding members. The two guiding members are arranged on the machine frame and are both located on the conveying track. A guiding gap for guiding the upper end of the book core is formed between the two guiding members, and the guiding gap corresponds to the guiding chute. By guiding the upper end of the book core through the two guiding members, the conveying of the book core is made more stable.

[0045] Further, the system further includes two groups of book core blocking members for blocking the book core. The two groups of book core blocking members are arranged between the gluing assembly and the book cover fixing assembly, and a book core passing gap with a controllable width is arranged between the two groups of book core blocking members. The book core passing gap corresponds to the positions of the jacking assembly, the book cover fixing assembly, and the gluing assembly.

[0046] Further, the system further includes a book blanking component for blanking the assembled books, and the book blanking component is arranged at the side of two groups of book core blocking components.

[0047] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: in this system, the book cover is loaded through the loading and conveying component. At this time, the book cover falls into the buffer storage position of the buffer storage component for buffer storage, and then the book cover at the lowermost end in the buffer storage position is conveyed from the conveying port to the book cover fixing component through the book cover conveying component. The book cover is fixed by the book cover fixing component to assist in gluing the book cover and the book core; through the buffer storage position of the buffer storage component, the system can realize the loading, buffering and conveying of the book cover, making the stability of the book cover transportation process of the system better.
