Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to an auxiliary paper guiding mechanism of a folding machine with format switching. BACKGROUND

[0002] The roll folding type folding machines disclosed in the following patents CN201610726863.6 (a twenty-four format folding switching device of a three-roller type roll folding folding machine), CN201911336598.0 (an 8-fold folding to 16-fold folding switching method), CN201911336595.7 (an 8-fold folding to 32-fold single-fold folding switching method), CN201911337408.7 (an 8-fold folding to 24-fold folding switching method), and CN201911336594.2 (a 32-fold folding to 24-fold folding switching method) can fold 8-fold, 16-fold, 24-fold and 32-fold, and can switch between these formats according to the size of the printed matter. Such roll folding type folding machines include a cutting roller, a punch roller, a gripper roller, a two-fold roller (32-fold roller), and a folding and conveying line belt (front paper conveying line belt). The folding and conveying line belt is arranged between the paper outlet side of the gripper roller and the newspaper outlet table, and is used for 8-fold, 16-fold, 24-fold and 32-fold folding and conveying.

[0003] When the folding machine is used for 8-fold and 16-fold folding, the paper is first punched by the punch on the punch roller and sent to the gripper roller, and then cut by the cutting knife on the cutting roller; the 8-fold folding knife on the punch roller inserts a 1 / 2 length of the book block between the 8-fold clamps on the gripper roller to generate an 8-fold folding (one fold), and the 8-fold folding is transferred to the front end of the folding and conveying line belt by the gripper roller, and then guided into the folding and conveying line belt by the paper guiding plate at the front end of the folding and conveying line belt, and then sequentially sent to the 16-fold folding knife device and the newspaper outlet table. When the folding machine is used for 24-fold folding and 32-fold folding, the 8-fold folding knife on the punch roller inserts a 1 / 2 length of the folding into the 8-fold clamps on the gripper roller to generate an 8-fold folding (one fold), and the front end of the 8-fold folding is hooked by the 32-fold hook on the two-fold roller, and the 8-fold clamps on the gripper roller are loosened, and the front end of the 8-fold folding is hooked by the 32-fold hook, and then the 32-fold folding knife on the 32-fold roller inserts the folding into the 32-fold clamps on the gripper roller to generate a 32-fold folding (two folds), and finally the 32-fold hook on the two-fold roller loosens the 32-fold folding, and the 32-fold folding is transferred to the front end of the folding and conveying line belt by the gripper roller, and then guided into the folding and conveying line belt by the paper guiding plate at the front end of the folding and conveying line belt, and then sequentially sent to the 16-fold folding knife device and the newspaper outlet table.

[0004] When the four specifications are folded and pasted, the second folding cylinder does not participate in the folding when 8 or 16 folding is performed, and the pasting is completed at the low position of the tooth cylinder after one folding, and the tooth cylinder rotates with the pasting, and then the pasting is output after passing through the second folding cylinder. When 24 or 32 folding is performed, the second folding cylinder participates in the folding, and the pasting is performed at the high position of the tooth cylinder, and when the 32 hook of the second folding cylinder is loosened after the second folding is completed, the pasting may be pasted on the second folding cylinder, which affects the output of the pasting, and therefore these problems need to be solved.

[0072] Mode one, the folding machine performs 8-opening and 16-opening folding and pasting, since the paper is only folded on the gripper cylinder 100 and then is sent to the 16-opening folding knife mechanism 400 and the paper outlet table 300 by the upper wire belt 16 and the lower wire belt 47 of the folding and pasting conveying wire belt, the piston rod of the auxiliary wire belt lifting cylinder 56 is extended, the guide rail frame is lowered to the lowest point, and the main auxiliary wire belt wheel 61 is located behind the first wire belt wheel 110 of the folding and pasting conveying wire belt (see Figure 2 and Figure 2a ), when the folding and pasting is brought to the paper outlet side by the gripper cylinder 100, the folding and pasting is sent to the folding and pasting conveying wire belt by the auxiliary wire belt 65, is sent to the 16-opening folding knife mechanism 400 and the paper outlet table 300 by the upper wire belt 16 and the lower wire belt 47 of the folding and pasting conveying wire belt, and the auxiliary wire belt 65 is used to peel off the folding and pasting possibly pasted on the second folding cylinder 200 after being folded.

[0073] Mode two, the folding machine performs 24-opening and 22-opening folding and pasting, the paper is hooked by the 32-opening hook on the second folding cylinder 200 after being folded on the gripper cylinder 100, and then is folded again, therefore the piston rod of the auxiliary wire belt lifting cylinder 56 is retracted, the guide rail frame is raised to the highest point, and the main auxiliary wire belt wheel 61 is located above the first wire belt wheel 110 of the folding and pasting conveying wire belt (see Figure 3 and Figure 3a), at this time the guide plate 17 can better paste the folded paper on the two-fold cylinder 200 for two-fold, when the folded paper is brought to the paper outlet side by the toothed cylinder 100, the folded paper is sent to the folded paper conveying line belt by the auxiliary line belt 65, and is sent to the 16-opening knife mechanism 400 and the newspaper outlet table 300 by the upper line belt 16 and the lower line belt 47 of the folded paper conveying line belt, and the auxiliary line belt 65 is used to peel off the folded paper that may be pasted on the two-fold cylinder 200 after two-fold.

[0074] The two working modes of the auxiliary paper guide mechanism of the folding machine with specification switching of the present application are that the guide plate 17 is always close to the two-fold cylinder 200 (closed state), and the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the auxiliary line belt lifting cylinder 56 is controlled by the switching system.

[0075] When the folding machine is in the 8-opening and 16-opening folding mode, the two-position five-way manual valve 10 is right-way open, and the two-position five-way electromagnetic valve 30 is left-way open, at this time the first pneumatic control valve 40 and the second pneumatic control valve 60 are both in the open state, the first mechanical valve 20 is in the open state, and the second mechanical valve 50 is in the closed state, so that the piston rod of the line belt front-end retracting and extending cylinder 21 is extended, the guide plate 17 is closed (close to the two-fold cylinder 200), the piston rod of the auxiliary line belt lifting cylinder 56 is extended, the auxiliary line belt 65 is lowered, and the rodless cavity of the line belt tensioning cylinder 31 is supplied with air to extend the piston rod, so that the upper line belt 16 is tensioned (see Figure 4a ).

[0076] When the guide plate 17 is stuck or needs to be repaired, the operator needs to move the guide plate 17 of the folded paper conveying line belt away from the two-fold cylinder 200 (open state). Due to the structural relationship between the guide plate 17 and the auxiliary line belt 65, the guide plate 17 needs to be opened after ensuring that the auxiliary line belt 65 is retracted to the highest point. After the repair is completed, the guide plate 17 needs to be completely closed before the auxiliary line belt 65 can be lowered. If the operation is wrong, the danger of collision between the guide plate 17 and the auxiliary line belt 65 will occur. In order to avoid the danger caused by the wrong operation, as long as the two-position five-way manual valve 10 is turned to the left-way open, the two-position five-way electromagnetic valve 30 remains in the left-way open, at this time the first pneumatic control valve 40 and the second pneumatic control valve 60 are both in the closed state, so that the rodless cavity of the line belt tensioning cylinder 31 is in a pressureless state, resulting in the relaxation of the upper line belt 16; the air path enters the rod cavity of the auxiliary line belt lifting cylinder 56 through the left end of the shuttle valve 70, causing the piston rod to retract, so that the auxiliary line belt 65 is lifted, the retraction of the piston rod of the auxiliary line belt lifting cylinder 56 causes the second induction plate 50A on the outer side of the guide rail 51 to trigger the second mechanical valve 50 to conduct, so that the air path enters the rod cavity of the line belt front-end retracting and extending cylinder 21, causing the piston rod to retract, thereby opening the guide plate 17, and the retraction of the piston rod of the line belt front-end retracting and extending cylinder 21 causes the first induction plate 20A to disengage the first mechanical valve 20, so that the first mechanical valve 20 becomes in the closed state (see Figure 4b) When the maintenance is completed, the two-position five-way manual valve 10 is re-displaced to the right path, the first gas control valve 40 and the second gas control valve 60 are re-conducted, the rodless cavity of the line tape front end retracting and releasing cylinder 21 is ventilated, the piston rod is extended, the paper guide plate 17 is closed, and the first mechanical valve 20 becomes a pass-through state. The gas circuit passes through the left path of the two-position five-way electromagnetic valve 30, enters the rodless cavity of the auxiliary line tape lifting cylinder 56 through the second gas control valve 60, and causes the piston rod to extend, so that the auxiliary line tape 65 is lowered to the lowest point. Because the first gas control valve 40 is conducted, the rodless cavity of the line tape tensioning cylinder 31 has pressure, causing the upper line tape 16 to be tensioned.

[0077] When the folding machine is in the 24-opening and 32-opening folding mode, the two-position five-way manual valve 10 is in the right path, the two-position five-way electromagnetic valve 30 is in the right path, the gas circuit enters the rod cavity of the auxiliary line tape lifting cylinder 56 through the right end of the shuttle valve 70, causing the piston rod to retract, i.e. lifting the auxiliary line tape 65. The first mechanical valve 20 is in a pass-through state, and the second mechanical valve 50 is in a cut-off state, causing the piston rod of the line tape front end retracting and releasing cylinder 21 to extend, causing the paper guide plate 17 to approach the two-fold roller 200 (closed state), the piston rod of the auxiliary line tape lifting cylinder 56 to extend, causing the auxiliary line tape 65 to descend, and the piston rod of the line tape tensioning cylinder 31 to extend, causing the upper line tape 16 to be tensioned (see Figure 4c ).

[0078] When the paper guide plate 17 is stuck or needs to be maintained, the operator needs to move the paper guide plate 17 of the folding and pasting conveying line away from the two-fold roller 200. Due to the structural relationship between the paper guide plate 17 and the auxiliary line tape 65, the paper guide plate 17 needs to be opened after ensuring that the auxiliary line tape 65 is retracted to the highest point. After the maintenance is completed, the paper guide plate 17 also needs to be completely closed before the auxiliary line tape 65 can be lowered. If the operation is incorrect, the danger of the paper guide plate 17 colliding with the auxiliary line tape 65 will occur. In order to avoid the danger caused by incorrect operation, as long as the two-position five-way manual valve 10 is displaced to the left path, the two-position five-way electromagnetic valve 30 remains in the right path, at this time the first gas control valve 40 and the second gas control valve 60 are both in a cut-off state, causing the rodless cavity of the line tape tensioning cylinder 31 to be in a pressure-free state, causing the upper line tape 16 to be relaxed; the gas circuit enters the rod cavity of the auxiliary line tape lifting cylinder 56 through the right end of the shuttle valve 70, causing the piston rod to retract, lifting the auxiliary line tape 65, and the retraction of the piston rod of the auxiliary line tape lifting cylinder 56 causes the second sensing plate 50A on the outer side of the guide rail 51 to trigger the second mechanical valve 50 to be conducted, causing the gas circuit to enter the rod cavity of the line tape front end retracting and releasing cylinder 21, causing the piston rod to retract, and further causing the paper guide plate 17 to open. The retraction of the piston rod of the line tape front end retracting and releasing cylinder 21 causes the first sensing plate 20A to disengage the first mechanical valve 20, causing the first mechanical valve 20 to become a cut-off state (see Figure 4d). When the maintenance is completed, the two-position five-way manual valve 10 is re-displaced to the right path, so that the first pneumatic control valve 40 and the second pneumatic control valve 60 are re-conducted, the second mechanical valve 50 is in the off state, the rodless chamber of the front end of the line belt retraction cylinder 21 is ventilated to cause the piston rod to extend, so that the paper guide plate 17 is closed, the first mechanical valve 20 is in the on state, the gas path passes through the right end of the shuttle valve 70 from the right path of the two-position five-way electromagnetic valve 30 to enter the rod chamber of the auxiliary line belt lifting cylinder 56 to cause the piston rod to retract, that is, the auxiliary line belt 65 is lifted, and due to the conduction of the first pneumatic control valve 40, the rodless chamber of the line belt tensioning cylinder 31 has pressure, causing the upper line belt 16 to be tensioned.

Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions should belong to the scope of the present application, which should be limited by the claims.
