Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of book production, and in particular to a book page mounting and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Books, especially paper books, are a type of book made by stacking and gluing pages together. The book manufacturing process involves page mounting and conveying; page mounting refers to aligning and gluing two adjacent pages together. Current page mounting devices mainly employ the structure disclosed in the applicant's recently filed patent CN216268308U, which mounts pages by diagonally placing them onto a slide and pushing them with a flag. While this method can achieve page mounting, it suffers from low alignment accuracy and inaccurate mounting during continuous mass production. Furthermore, it prevents the placement of accessories on pages that are being moved upright. Therefore, existing mounting and conveying devices still have room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0021] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0022] In the description of this invention, "several" means an indefinite quantity, "multiple" means two or more, "greater than," "less than," and "exceeding" are understood to exclude the stated number, while "above," "below," and "within" are understood to include the stated number. The use of "first" and "second" in the description is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features. The use of "and / or" throughout the text indicates three parallel solutions; for example, A and / or B indicates a solution satisfied by A, a solution satisfied by B, or a solution satisfied by both A and B.

[0025] The following is combined Figures 1 to 3 Embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0026] This embodiment relates to a book page mounting and conveying device for mounting book pages while simultaneously moving the pages forward. The mounting and conveying device disclosed in the applicant's recently filed patent CN216268308U mounts the pages in an upright and tilted manner. When accessories need to be installed, the mounted pages must be removed, laid flat, and the accessories manually placed, resulting in low efficiency.

[0027] Therefore, this embodiment provides a book page mounting and conveying device including: a frame, a page pushing mechanism, and a mounting and positioning mechanism; the page pushing mechanism includes a page pushing groove 11 disposed on the frame and a page pushing flag 17 driven to slide along the page pushing groove 11, the angle between the bottom surface of the page pushing groove 11 and the horizontal plane is 0 to 30°; the mounting and positioning mechanism includes a first limiting member 12 and a second limiting member 13 disposed on the inner side of the page pushing groove 11, the first limiting member 12 and the second limiting member 13 are respectively disposed on the two transverse sides of the page pushing groove 11, the first limiting member 12 and the second limiting member 13 are used to limit the transverse position of the book page. This book page mounting device is equipped with a page pushing mechanism and a mounting and positioning mechanism. When using this device for mounting, the book page is placed on the page pushing groove 11 and pushed by the page pushing flag 17. Since the angle between the page pushing groove 11 and the horizontal plane is 0 to 30°, accessories are less likely to fall off the book page after being placed or glued on it. After the pages are placed on the page slide 11, when the accessories are attached by adhesive, the adhesion between the accessories and the pages prevents the accessories from falling off. However, when the pages are not horizontal, the accessories need to be inserted into the pre-set holes on the pages to prevent them from falling off.

[0028] In this embodiment, the pusher flag 17 is used to reciprocate longitudinally to push the pages. The drive structure for the reciprocating motion of the pusher flag 17 can adopt conventional methods in the prior art, such as connecting the pusher flag 17 to a reciprocating lifting device, so that the pusher flag 17 cyclically pushes the pages. In this embodiment, the drive of the pusher flag 17 is realized through a chain mechanism. The pusher flag 17 is fixedly connected to the chain driven by the chain mechanism, and reciprocates as the chain cycles.

[0029] Furthermore, the first limiting member 12 is a positioning plate extending vertically, and the second limiting member 13 is a spring piece. The spring piece is arc-shaped and protrudes towards the first limiting member 12. The first limiting member 12 and the second limiting member 13 together provide lateral positioning for the book page. The second limiting member 13 is configured as a spring piece. When the book page is pushed forward by the page pusher 17, the left and right sides of the book page abut against the positioning plate and the spring piece, and are pressed against the positioning plate by the elastic force of the spring piece, thereby ensuring the lateral positioning accuracy of the book page and the lateral positioning accuracy of the book page assembly.

[0030] The number of spring clips is multiple, and these spring clips are arranged closely along the longitudinal direction on the inner surface of the page pusher slide 11. By configuring multiple closely arranged spring clips, the pages can always maintain a lateral positioning when sliding within the page pusher slide 11, thereby ensuring the binding accuracy of the pages.

[0031] The page-pushing mechanism further includes a first side groove 14, a second side groove 15, and a groove width adjustment component. The first side groove 14 and the second side groove 15 are not connected to each other. The first side groove 14 and the second side groove 15 together define the page-pushing slide 11. The first side groove 14 and the second side groove 15 are connected to the frame through the groove width adjustment component. The groove width adjustment component is used to adjust the lateral dimension of the page-pushing slide 11, that is, the width of the page-pushing slide 11. By configuring the first side groove 14, the second side groove 15, and the groove width adjustment component, the width of the page-pushing slide 11 can be adjusted to accommodate pages of different widths. Specifically, the first limiting member 12 is disposed on the first side groove 14, and the second limiting member 13 is disposed on the second side groove 15. The first side groove 14 and the second side groove 15 are not connected to each other to form a push flag channel 16. The push page flag 17 is located below the push page slide 11 and extends upward, with its upper end passing through the height of the page-joining platform 21. When the push page flag 17 is driven, it can simultaneously push the pages of the page-joining platform 21 and the push page slide 11.

[0032] The slot width adjustment assembly includes a slot width adjustment guide post 181, a slot width adjustment screw 182, a first slot width adjustment threaded sleeve (not shown in the figure), and a second slot width adjustment threaded sleeve (not shown in the figure). The slot width adjustment guide post 181 is fixed on the frame. The first side slot member 14 and the second side slot member 15 slide along the slot width adjustment guide post 181. The slot width adjustment screw 182 is rotatably mounted on the frame. The first slot width adjustment threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the first side slot member 14, and the second slot width adjustment threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the second side slot member 15. The slot width adjustment screw 182 is provided with a first slot width adjustment thread and a second slot width adjustment thread with opposite directions of rotation. The first slot width adjustment thread is threadedly connected to the first slot width adjustment threaded sleeve, and the second slot width adjustment thread is threadedly connected to the second slot width adjustment threaded sleeve. When the slot width adjusting screw 182 is rotated, the first and second slot width adjusting threads, which rotate in opposite directions, drive the first side slot 14 and the second side slot 15 to move in opposite directions via the first and second slot width adjusting sleeves, adjusting the width of the page pusher slide 11. Simultaneously, while adjusting the width of the page pusher slide 11, the center position of the page pusher slide 11 remains unchanged, so that the target position of the previous process remains unchanged. Furthermore, the page pusher mechanism includes two support strips 19 mounted on the frame. Both support strips 19 are located between the first and second side slots 14 and 15, and are positioned on either side of the page pusher flag 17. By configuring the two support strips 19, the middle of the page can be supported, reducing page deformation. In this embodiment, the first limiting member 12 is part of the first side slot 14.

[0033] This embodiment relates to a book page mounting and conveying device for mounting book pages while simultaneously moving the pages forward. The mounting and conveying device disclosed in the applicant's recently filed patent CN216268308U is prone to uneven mounting during use. Analysis revealed that this is because when the book pages are output to the slide, the side of the page first contacts the mounting pad upon landing. To improve mounting efficiency, the page's speed upon contact with the mounting pad is relatively high, resulting in a large impact force when the page falls onto the mounting pad. This easily causes page deformation and damage to the corners of the pages.

[0034] Therefore, the book page mounting and conveying device also includes a page-joining mechanism, which includes a page-joining platform 21 located above the page-pushing slide 11. The page-joining platform 21 has a page-pushing through groove 211 extending longitudinally and vertically in its middle. The page-pushing flag 17 passes through the page-pushing through groove 211 to push the book page from the page-joining platform 21 onto the page-pushing slide 11. When using this device for mounting, after the book page placed on the page-joining platform 21 is pushed by the page-pushing flag 17, because the angle between the page-joining platform 21 and the page-pushing slide 11 is 0 to 30°, when the book page is pushed from the page-joining platform 21 onto the page-pushing slide 11, compared to the page-mounting and conveying device described in patent CN216268308U, where the book page is always supported by its side before and after falling, the mounting process is more efficient. In this design, the angle between the page-joining platform 21 and the page-pushing slide 11 is 0 to 30°. When the page falls into the page-pushing slide 11 at an angle of 0 to 30°, the contact area between the page and the slide 11 increases continuously during the fall. Furthermore, the time it takes for the page to fall completely is relatively long, resulting in a slower change in speed at the moment of contact. This significantly reduces the impact between the page and the slide 11. The smaller impact between the page and the bottom surface of the slide 11 makes it less likely to deform the page or damage its edges, further ensuring the quality of the page mounting. The above explanation uses the case of the page contacting the slide 11 as an example. When continuously mounting pages, it is understandable that pages falling onto the slide 11 and being pushed by the page-pushing flag 17 also conform to the above scenario.

[0035] Furthermore, the bottom surfaces of both the page-joining platform 21 and the page-pushing groove 11 are horizontally oriented. With both the bottom surfaces of the page-joining platform 21 and the page-pushing groove 11 horizontally oriented, theoretically, when a page falls from the page-joining platform 21 into the page-pushing groove 11, the contact area between the page and the page-joining platform 21 can be maximized, minimizing page deformation and damage. The maximum contact area is also the bottom surface area of ​​the page.

[0036] Furthermore, the page-joining mechanism also includes a page-joining baffle 22, which is fixed to the inner side of the page-pushing slide 11. The page-joining platform 21 is located inside the page-pushing slide 11, and the lower side of the page-joining baffle 22 is connected to the page-joining platform 21. The page-joining platform 21, positioned inside the page-pushing slide 11, reduces the distance between the page-joining platform 21 and the slide 11, decreasing the drop height of the pages and further reducing damage from drops. The page-joining baffle 22 allows for initial positioning of the pages when they are conveyed to the page-joining platform 21. The page-joining baffle 22 is positioned on the inner side of the page-pushing slide 11 to accommodate the page-joining platform 21. This causes a deviation between the positioning position of the page-joining baffle 22 and the positioning position of the page-pushing slide 11. Consequently, the first limiting member 12 and the second limiting member 13 need to offset the page to a certain extent when positioning it. The arc-shaped spring structure of the second limiting member 13 effectively solves this problem. The arc-shaped spring structure provides a transition when offsetting the page and also makes the force provided for pressing and positioning the page elastic, effectively reducing the deformation of the page and the book formed by stacking pages, and ensuring the quality of the mounting.

[0037] Furthermore, the splicing mechanism also includes a splicing alignment driver 23 and a splicing alignment plate. The splicing alignment driver 23 is mounted on the frame and is driven by the splicing alignment plate, causing the splicing alignment plate to move towards the splicing baffle 22. By configuring the splicing alignment driver 23 and the splicing alignment plate, after the book pages are conveyed to the splicing platform 21, the splicing alignment plate can also be used to make the book pages on the splicing platform 21 align with the splicing baffle 22, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the splicing baffle 22.

[0038] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
