Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cultural and creative industries, and in particular to a method for making a three-dimensional folding book by cutting and folding. Background Technology

[0002] Cultural and creative products, also known as "cultural and creative products", refer to high-value-added products that rely on the wisdom, skills and talents of creative people, use modern technology to create and enhance cultural resources and cultural products, and develop and apply intellectual property rights.

[0003] There are many types of cultural and creative products at present, but most of them are still handicrafts. Very few cultural and creative products can be created using books, and most of them are still shaped by the way books are arranged. This not only makes it difficult to attract people's attention, but also allows others to only appreciate them and not participate in the production themselves, thus lacking the sense of hands-on interactive experience.

[0004] Therefore, we use this method to create a three-dimensional folding book. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to improve upon existing manufacturing methods and provide a cutting and folding method for creating a three-dimensional folding book. This method involves using a pre-generated table with positional coordinates to mark and cut each page of a hardcover book. Then, the cut pages are folded according to odd and even folding methods, ultimately forming three-dimensional text or graphics on the side of the book. This facilitates sales and exhibitions in bookstores, scenic spots, and museums, and is also suitable for use in schools and educational institutions for hands-on interactive activities, effectively improving students' practical skills, fostering their interests, and developing their intelligence. Furthermore, a specialized folding bookshelf is used to assist in the production process. This bookshelf can be adaptively adjusted in height and angle according to different books, effectively reducing production difficulty and increasing efficiency.

[0006] Furthermore, the following production steps are included:

[0007] S1. Prepare tools: hardcover book, bookshelf, precision ruler, pen, scissors, and a scale reference chart for the book. The scale reference chart is generated by computer using special software, and the generated content includes the position coordinates of each fold point on each page.

[0008] S2. Draw lines: First, place the hardcover book on the book rack and open it. Take out a pen and a precision ruler. Starting from the first page, draw a horizontal line three centimeters away from the edge of the page. The horizontal line is parallel to the edge of the page. Then, fold the book in half at the middle of the three-centimeter mark. The fold line is parallel to the horizontal line. Repeat this step until all pages of the book have been drawn with horizontal lines and folded in half.

[0009] S3. Draw fold points: Next, using a precision ruler, mark the coordinates of each fold point on each folded page according to the coordinates of each fold point on each page in the scale reference table. After marking the points, draw the corresponding short lines at the marked points.

[0010] S4. Cut the fold points: Next, take out the scissors and cut a notch in the folded page along the short line drawn in step S3. The length of the notch should not exceed the horizontal line drawn in step S2, and the notch line should overlap with the short line drawn in step S3. Repeat this step until all the fold points on all the pages are cut. After cutting, check all the pages to make sure that no fold points are missed.

[0011] S5. Folding: After all the folding points of the pages have been cut, number the cut pages from top to bottom along the page edge, and finally fold them in the order of folding, folding the cut pages inwards into the book.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S3, the short lines are perpendicular to the edge of the page, and each short line is 5-10 mm long. Mark the short lines according to the coordinates of each fold point on the scale reference table to facilitate subsequent cutting. In order to ensure that the horizontal lines are not cut during cutting, the length of the short lines should not be too long.

[0013] Furthermore, the folding sequence in step S5 includes two types: one is the odd-number folding method, and the other is the even-number folding method. The text and patterns folded by the odd-number folding method are convex three-dimensional, while the text and patterns folded by the even-number folding method are concave three-dimensional. Folding in the odd and even order can create different visual effects, increasing the three-dimensional diversity of the folding book and effectively improving its aesthetic appeal.

[0014] Optionally, the folding bookshelf in step S1 includes a book stand, with rotating brackets rotatably connected to both sides of the book stand via damping pivots. The rotating brackets have adjustment grooves on their side walls, and a page-pressing rod is slidably connected between the two adjustment grooves. A sliding groove is formed on the inner wall of the middle section of the page-pressing rod, and an adjustment button is slidably connected within the groove. A mounting base is fixedly connected to the lower side wall of the adjustment button, and cathode magnets are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting base. A compression spring connects the lower side wall of the mounting base to the bottom of the sliding groove. Flat-end rubber bladders that slidably connect to the adjustment grooves are fixedly connected to both ends of the page-pressing rod. Silicone friction pads are fixedly embedded in the outer side walls of the flat-end rubber bladders. Multiple symmetrically distributed elastic rods are fixedly connected between the inner wall of the flat-end rubber bladders and the side wall of the page-pressing rod. The inner walls of the page-pressing rod located on both sides of the sliding groove also... The device features a telescopic groove communicating with the interior of a flat-end rubber bladder. A hollow rod, which is slidably connected to and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the flat-end rubber bladder, is located within the telescopic groove. An anode magnet, attracted to a cathode magnet, is fixedly connected to the end of the hollow rod furthest from the flat-end rubber bladder. Since the books being produced vary in height and require frequent page turning during production, a page-pressing rod is used to hold the pages in place for easy drawing and cutting. The flat-end rubber bladders at both ends of the page-pressing rod are held in place by the elasticity of spring bars in the adjustment groove. When the adjustment button is pressed, the mounting base moves down, allowing the cathode magnet to attract the anode magnet, which in turn causes the hollow rod to pull the flat-end rubber bladder inward, thus adjusting the height of the page-pressing rod. Furthermore, rotating the support allows for adjustment of the angle of the page-pressing rod, facilitating the holding of different hardcover books during production.

[0015] Furthermore, the elastic bar is straight in its natural state and is made of polyurethane elastic material. The elastic bar uses its elasticity to make the flat end rubber bladder press against the groove wall of the adjustment groove, thereby fixing the position of the page pressing rod by friction and making it easy to adjust the height of the page pressing rod.

[0016] Furthermore, the total length of the pressure bar and the flat-end rubber bladder is greater than the length between the two adjustment slots. The magnetic attraction between the cathode magnet and the anode magnet is greater than the elastic force of the spring bar, and the magnetic attraction between the cathode magnet and the anode magnet is less than the elastic force of the compression spring. In order for the cathode magnet to attract the anode magnet and cause the hollow rod to pull the flat-end rubber bladder inward, the magnetic attraction between the cathode magnet and the anode magnet is greater than the elastic force of the spring bar. In addition, after the adjustment button is released, in order for the elastic force of the compression spring to reset the adjustment button, the magnetic attraction between the cathode magnet and the anode magnet is less than the elastic force of the compression spring.

[0017] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this application are:

[0018] (1) This solution uses a table with position coordinates generated by software to mark and cut each page of a hardcover book. Then, the cut pages are folded according to odd and even folding methods to form three-dimensional text or graphics on the side of the book. This makes it easy to sell and exhibit in bookstores, scenic spots and museums. It can also be used in schools and educational institutions to carry out hands-on interactive experience activities, effectively improving students' hands-on skills and helping to cultivate students' interests and develop their intelligence. In addition, it is also equipped with a special folding bookshelf to help with the production. The folding bookshelf can be adjusted in height and angle according to different books, effectively reducing the difficulty of production and improving the production efficiency.

[0019] (2) In step S3, the short lines are perpendicular to the edge of the page, and each short line is 5-10 mm long. Mark the short lines according to the coordinates of each fold point on the scale reference table to facilitate the subsequent cutting. In order to ensure that the horizontal lines are not cut during cutting, the length of the short lines should not be too long.

[0020] (3) There are two folding sequences in step S5. One folding sequence is the odd folding method, and the other folding sequence is the even folding method. The text and patterns folded by the odd folding method are convex three-dimensional, while the text and patterns folded by the even folding method are concave three-dimensional. Different visual effects can be folded according to the odd and even folding sequences, which increases the three-dimensional diversity of the folding book and also effectively improves the aesthetics of the folding book.

[0021] (4) The folding bookshelf in step S1 includes a book stand. Both sides of the book stand are rotatably connected to rotating supports via damping shafts. The side walls of the rotating supports have adjustment grooves. A page-pressing rod is slidably connected between the two adjustment grooves. A sliding groove is formed on the inner wall of the middle section of the page-pressing rod, and an adjustment button is slidably connected in the groove. A mounting base is fixedly connected to the lower side wall of the adjustment button, and cathode magnets are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting base. A compression spring connects the lower side wall of the mounting base to the bottom of the sliding groove. Flat-end rubber bladders that slidably connect to the adjustment grooves are fixedly connected to both ends of the page-pressing rod. Silicone friction pads are fixedly embedded in the outer side walls of the flat-end rubber bladders. Multiple symmetrically distributed elastic rods are fixedly connected between the inner wall of the flat-end rubber bladders and the side walls of the page-pressing rod. The inner walls of the page-pressing rods located on both sides of the sliding groove also... The device features a telescopic groove communicating with the interior of a flat-end rubber bladder. A hollow rod, which is slidably connected to and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the flat-end rubber bladder, is located within the telescopic groove. An anode magnet, attracted to a cathode magnet, is fixedly connected to the end of the hollow rod furthest from the flat-end rubber bladder. Since the books being produced vary in height and require frequent page turning during production, a page-pressing rod is used to hold the pages in place for easy drawing and cutting. The flat-end rubber bladders at both ends of the page-pressing rod are held in place by the elasticity of spring bars in the adjustment groove. When the adjustment button is pressed, the mounting base moves down, allowing the cathode magnet to attract the anode magnet, which in turn causes the hollow rod to pull the flat-end rubber bladder inward, thus adjusting the height of the page-pressing rod. Furthermore, rotating the support allows for adjustment of the angle of the page-pressing rod, facilitating the holding of different hardcover books during production.

[0022] (5) The elastic rod is straight in its natural state and is made of polyurethane elastic material. The elastic rod relies on elasticity to make the flat end rubber bladder press against the groove wall of the adjustment groove, thereby fixing the position of the pressing rod by friction and making it easy to adjust the height of the pressing rod.

[0023] (6) The total length of the pressure bar and the flat end rubber bladder is greater than the length between the two adjustment slots. The magnetic attraction between the cathode magnet and the anode magnet is greater than the elastic force of the spring bar. The magnetic attraction between the cathode magnet and the anode magnet is less than the elastic force of the compression spring. In order for the cathode magnet to attract the anode magnet and cause the hollow rod to pull the flat end rubber bladder inward, the magnetic attraction between the cathode magnet and the anode magnet is greater than the elastic force of the spring bar. In addition, after releasing the adjustment button, in order for the elastic force of the compression spring to reset the adjustment button, the magnetic attraction between the cathode magnet and the anode magnet is less than the elastic force of the compression spring.

[0036] The embodiments will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] A method for making a three-dimensional folding book by cutting and folding includes the following steps:

[0039] S1. Prepare tools: hardcover book, bookshelf, precision ruler, pen, scissors, and a scale reference chart for the book. The scale reference chart is generated by computer using special software, and the generated content includes the position coordinates of each fold point on each page.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 , 2S2. Draw lines: First, place the hardcover book on the book rack and open it. Take out a pen and a precision ruler. Starting from the first page, draw a horizontal line three centimeters away from the edge of the page. The horizontal line is parallel to the edge of the page. Then, fold the book in half at the middle of the three-centimeter mark. The fold line is parallel to the horizontal line. Repeat this step until all pages of the book have been drawn with horizontal lines and folded in half.

[0041] Please see Figure 3 S3. Draw fold points: Next, using a precision ruler, mark the coordinates of each fold point on each folded page according to the scale reference table. After marking the points, draw the corresponding short lines at the marked points.

[0042] Please see Figure 3 In step S3, the short lines are perpendicular to the edge of the page, and each short line is 5-10 mm long. Mark the short lines according to the coordinates of each fold point on the scale reference table to facilitate the subsequent cutting. In order to ensure that the horizontal lines are not cut during cutting, the length of the short lines should not be too long.

[0043] Please see Figure 3 S4. Cut the fold points: Next, take out the scissors and cut a notch in the folded page along the short line drawn in step S3. The length of the notch should not exceed the horizontal line drawn in step S2, and the notch line should overlap with the short line drawn in step S3. Repeat this step until all the fold points on all the pages are cut. After cutting, check all the pages to make sure that no fold points are missed.

[0044] Please see Figure 4 , 5 S5, Folding: After all the folding points of the pages have been cut, number the cut pages from top to bottom along the edge of the page, and finally fold them in the order of folding. When folding, fold the cut pages inward into the book.

[0045] Please see Figure 4 , 5 and Figure 6 The folding sequence in step S5 includes two types: one is the odd-number folding method, and the other is the even-number folding method. The text and patterns folded by the odd-number folding method are convex three-dimensional, while the text and patterns folded by the even-number folding method are concave three-dimensional. Folding in the odd and even order can create different visual effects, increasing the three-dimensional diversity of the folding book and also effectively improving its aesthetic appeal.

[0046] Example 2:

[0047] Based on Example 1, please refer to Figure 7 , 8 9 and Figure 10 The folding bookshelf in step S1 includes a book stand 1. Both sides of the book stand 1 are rotatably connected to rotating brackets 2 via damping shafts. The side walls of the rotating brackets 2 have adjustment grooves 201. A page-pressing rod 3 is slidably connected between the two adjustment grooves 201. The inner wall of the middle part of the page-pressing rod 3 has a sliding groove 301, and an adjustment button 4 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 301. A mounting base 5 is fixedly connected to the lower side wall of the adjustment button 4, and cathode magnets 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting base 5. The lower side wall of the mounting base 5 is connected to the sliding groove 301. The bottom ends are connected by a compression spring. Both ends of the press bar 3 are fixedly connected to a flat-end rubber bladder 7 that slides in connection with the adjustment groove 201. A silicone friction pad 701 is fixedly embedded in the outer side wall of the flat-end rubber bladder 7. Multiple symmetrically distributed elastic rods 8 are fixedly connected between the inner wall of the flat-end rubber bladder 7 and the side wall of the press bar 3. The elastic rods 8 are straight in their natural state and are made of polyurethane elastic material. The elastic rods 8 use elasticity to make the flat-end rubber bladder 7 press against the groove wall of the adjustment groove 201, thereby relying on friction. To fix the position of the page-pressing rod 3 and facilitate height adjustment, the inner walls of the page-pressing rod 3 on both sides of the slide groove 301 are provided with telescopic grooves 302 that communicate with the inside of the flat-end rubber bladder 7. A hollow rod 9 is slidably connected to the telescopic groove 302 and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the flat-end rubber bladder 7. The end of the hollow rod 9 away from the flat-end rubber bladder 7 is fixedly connected to an anode magnet 10 that is magnetically attracted to the cathode magnet 6. The total length of the page-pressing rod 3 and the flat-end rubber bladder 7 is greater than the length between the two adjustment grooves 201. The cathode magnet 6 and the anode magnet 10 are also connected to the slide groove 301. The magnetic attraction between the iron 10 is greater than the elastic force of the elastic rod 8, and the magnetic attraction between the cathode magnet 6 and the anode magnet 10 is less than the elastic force of the compression spring. In order for the cathode magnet 6 to attract the anode magnet 10, the hollow rod 9 pulls the flat-end rubber bladder 7 inward. Therefore, the magnetic attraction between the cathode magnet 6 and the anode magnet 10 is greater than the elastic force of the elastic rod 8. In addition, after releasing the adjustment button 4, in order for the elastic force of the compression spring to reset the adjustment button 4, the magnetic attraction between the cathode magnet 6 and the anode magnet 10 is less than the elastic force of the compression spring.

[0048] Please see Figure 10 Because the books being produced vary in height and require frequent page turning during production, a page-pressing rod 3 is used to hold the pages in place for easy drawing and cutting. The flat rubber bladders 7 at both ends of the page-pressing rod 3 are secured to the adjustment groove 201 by the elasticity of the elastic rod 8. When the adjustment button 4 is pressed, the mounting base 5 moves down, causing the cathode magnet 6 to magnetically attract the anode magnet 10, which in turn causes the hollow rod 9 to pull the flat rubber bladders 7 inward, thereby adjusting the height of the page-pressing rod 3. Furthermore, the angle of the page-pressing rod 3 can be adjusted by rotating the rotating bracket 2, making it easier to hold different hardcover books in place for convenient production.

[0049] The above description is only the best implementation method adopted in this application in combination with current practical needs, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto.
