[0023] The lifting and discharging assembly sends the booklets one by one to the first conveyor 130, and the first conveyor 130 sends the booklets to the gluing mechanism for glue rolling, and then the booklets enter the second conveyor 320, the spreading assembly spreads the bottom page of the booklet, and then the blowing member blows up the bottom page so that the bottom page extends into the bending assembly, and then cooperates with the spreading assembly to bend the bottom page to fit the outer surface of the booklet, and then passes through the pressing roller assembly to roll the bottom page firmly on the booklet, thereby realizing the molding of the soft cover of the booklet, improving production efficiency and reducing labor intensity.

[0024] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The lifting and discharging assembly includes a lifting assembly and a transfer assembly. The transfer assembly is arranged at the feeding end of the first conveyor 130. The lifting assembly sends out the books one by one, and the transfer assembly sends the books from the lifting assembly to the first conveyor 130.

[0025] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3The lifting assembly includes a sixth linear module 111, a seventh linear module 116, a flat plate 112 and two first positioning plates 115. The flat plate 112 is docked with the first conveyor 130. The sixth linear module 111 drives the flat plate 112 to move in the vertical direction. The second positioning plate passes through the flat plate 112. The seventh linear module 116 drives the second positioning plates to move closer to or away from each other. The sixth linear module 111 drives the flat plate 112 to move in the vertical direction. The two first positioning plates 115 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first movable block 125. Both first positioning plates 115 pass through the flat plate 112. After the transfer assembly sends out the book, the sixth linear module 111 drives the flat plate 112 to move upward to send out the next book, thereby realizing automatic loading. The position between the two first positioning plates 115 is adjusted by the seventh linear module 116, so that the distance between the two first positioning plates 115 matches the book, and the two first positioning plates 115 abut against the two sides of the book. When the flat plate 112 rises, the stacked books rise along the first positioning plates 115, so as to avoid the stacked books from shifting during the rising process. It should be noted that the sixth linear module 111 can be an electric linear slide module, and the seventh linear module 116 can be a manual linear slide module.

[0026] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The transfer assembly includes a gripper component 126, a first movable block 125 and a first sensor 124. The first movable block 125 is arranged at the movable end of the gripper component 126. The first movable block 125 is arranged to be movable in the vertical direction. The first sensor 124 is arranged on the upper side of the first movable block 125. The first movable block 125 can trigger the first sensor 124. The gripper component 126 grips the booklet and sends it from the lifting assembly to the first conveyor 130. After the booklet is sent out from the flat plate 112, it contacts the first movable block 125 and lifts the first movable block 125. The first movable block 125 triggers the first sensor 124, and then the gripper component 126 starts to grab the booklet and send it to the first conveyor 130.

[0027] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3The transfer assembly also includes an adjustment component, which includes a screw 121, a second guide plate 122 and a third movable block 123. The screw 121 is threadedly connected to the third movable block 123. The third movable block 123 is movably arranged on the second guide plate 122 in a vertical direction, and the sensor is arranged on the third movable block 123. The screw 121 is rotated to convert the rotational motion of the screw 121 into the linear motion of the third movable block 123, so as to conveniently control the movable stroke of the third movable block 123, thereby adjusting the height of the first sensor 124. When in use, a booklet is placed on the first conveyor 130, the first movable block 125 abuts against the upper side of the booklet and is lifted by the booklet, and then the height of the first sensor 124 is adjusted by rotating the screw 121 until the first movable block 125 just triggers the first sensor 124, thereby measuring the thickness of the booklet. The second guide plate 122 is provided with a scale, so as to conveniently and intuitively control the stroke of the third movable block 123 and intuitively measure the thickness of the booklet.

[0028] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A limit plate 114 is provided between the flat plate 112 and the first conveyor 130. The flat plate 112 is provided with an inclined surface 113, which is inclined downward toward the limit plate 114. The flat plate 112 is provided with the inclined surface 113, so that the books stacked on the inclined surface 113 are automatically inclined toward the first conveyor 130. After the books pass over the limit plate 114, they automatically slide out in the conveying direction. The limit plate 114 is provided so that the books abut against the limit plate 114 during the rising process of the flat plate 112, so as to prevent the books from falling in the conveying direction. The thickness of the books can be obtained through the scale on the second guide plate 122. By manually setting the stroke of each rise of the flat plate 112, only one book enters the first conveyor 130 each time after the book passes over the limit plate 114, so as to ensure that the books are conveyed one by one.

[0029] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 3 The first conveyor 130 includes a supporting assembly, an eighth linear module 134, a ninth linear module 135 and a second suction cup 133. The supporting assembly includes two pallets 131. The second suction cup 133 is arranged between the two pallets 131. The eighth linear module 134 drives the second suction cup 133 to convey along the conveying direction. The ninth linear module 135 drives the second suction cup 133 to move along the vertical direction. The booklet is sent to the pallet 131 of the first conveyor 130. Then the ninth linear module 135 drives the second suction cup 133 to move upward. The second suction cup 133 sucks the booklet. Then the eighth linear module 134 drives the second suction cup 133 to convey along the conveying direction and sends the booklet to the gluing mechanism.

[0030] It is also understandable that, with reference to Figure 3Two third guide plates 136 are symmetrically arranged on the support plate 131 to guide the conveyance of the booklet and prevent the booklet from deflecting when the second suction cup 133 moves. In addition, a pulley 132 is also arranged on the support plate 131 to reduce the friction between the booklet and the support plate 131.

[0031] It is understandable that, referring to Figures 4 to 6 The gluing mechanism includes a first bracket 261, a first linear module 250 and a first glue box 220. The first bracket 261 is provided with a support roller 262. The first glue box 220 is provided with a group of glue rolling rollers 221. The group of glue rolling rollers 221 is arranged above the support rollers 262. The first linear module 250 drives the first glue box 220 to move in a vertical direction. The first glue box 220 is provided with a sensing component, and the sensing component is electrically connected to the first linear module 250. The first linear module 250 drives the first glue box 220 to descend. After the sensing component senses the book, the first glue box 220 rolls glue on the book. The support rollers 262 provide support for the book to ensure the stability of glue rolling.

[0032] It is understandable that, referring to Figures 4 to 6 The first glue box 220 is provided with a glue rolling roller 221 and a glue coating roller 222, which are in contact with each other to form a glue storage position. The second glue box 230 is symmetrically provided on both sides of the first glue box 220. A glue pump assembly is provided in the second glue box 230, and the glue pump assembly conveys the glue in the second glue box 230 to the first glue box 220, and then outputs the glue to the glue storage position through the first glue box 220. After the glue is delivered to the glue storage position from the first glue box 220, the glue is stored in the glue storage position. After the glue coating roller 222 and the glue rolling roller 221 rotate, the glue is evenly adhered to the glue coating roller 222 and the glue rolling roller 221. The first glue box 220 continuously replenishes glue to the glue storage position, so that the surfaces of the glue coating roller 222 and the glue rolling roller 221 are always coated with glue, and the stability of the glue rolling is maintained.

[0033] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first glue box 220 is provided with a first flow channel 225, and the first flow channel 225 is provided with a plurality of glue outlets 226, and the glue outlets 226 are arranged toward the glue storage position. The side wall of the second glue box 230 is provided with a second flow channel 232 in the vertical direction. The first flow channel 225 is communicated with the second flow channel 232. The glue is transported to the first flow channel 225 along the second flow channel 232 through the glue pump assembly, and finally sent from the glue outlet 226 to the glue storage position to replenish the glue in the glue storage position.

[0034] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6The first glue box 220 is provided with a third flow channel 227, which is arranged in the vertical direction. The lower end of the third flow channel 227 is connected to the second glue box 230, and the third flow channel 227 is connected to the first flow channel 225. A baffle is arranged between the third flow channel 227 and the first flow channel 225. The third flow channel 227 is arranged so that the excess glue in the first flow channel 225 flows back to the second glue box 230 from the third flow channel 227. The baffle is arranged between the first flow channel 225 and the third flow channel 227. When the glue in the first flow channel 225 increases, the glue passes over the baffle and enters the second flow channel 232, so as to prevent the glue in the first flow channel 225 from being diverted by the third flow channel 227, thereby ensuring the amount of glue in the first flow channel 225 and keeping the amount of glue stable.

[0035] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The side walls of the first glue box 220 at both ends of the glue storage position are provided with fourth flow channels 224, one end of the fourth flow channel 224 is arranged corresponding to the glue storage position, and the other end of the fourth flow channel 224 is connected to the second glue box 230. The inlet of the fourth flow channel 224 is located above the glue rolling roller 221 and the glue coating roller 222. When the glue in the glue storage position increases, the glue liquid level exceeds the inlet of the fourth flow channel 224, flows into the fourth flow channel 224, and flows back to the second glue box 230 along the fourth flow channel 224, so as to avoid glue overflow and save costs.

[0036] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The sensing component includes a second sensor 211 and a second movable block 212. The second sensor 211 is arranged above the second movable block 212. The second movable block 212 is arranged on the first glue box 220 in a vertical direction. The second movable block 212 moves upward to trigger the second sensor 211. The first glue box 220 descends, and the second movable block 212 abuts against the book and moves upward until the second movable block 212 triggers the second sensor 211. The first glue box 220 stops descending, and the rubber roller 221 rotates to cooperate with the support roller 262 to roll the glue on the book. By adjusting the trigger stroke of the second movable block 212, the pressure applied by the rubber roller 221 to the book can be adjusted to achieve different rubber rolling effects.

[0037] It should be noted that, refer to Figure 6The glue pump assembly includes a motor 241 and two mutually meshing gears 242. The motor 241 drives the two gears 242 to rotate. The bottom wall of the second glue box 230 is provided with a conveying channel 231. The meshing positions of the two gears 242 are located in the second conveying channel 231. The conveying channel 231 is connected with the second flow channel 232. The motor 241 drives the two gears 242 to rotate. The teeth of the two gears 242 move the glue, driving the glue to flow from the conveying channel 231 to the second flow channel 232, and then flow into the first flow channel 225 along the second flow channel 232, thereby realizing the rapid conveying of the glue. The structure is simple and stable.

[0038] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 5 A paper pressing plate 223 is provided at the lower side of the first glue box 220. When the booklet is being glued, when the glue rolling roller 221 presses down on the booklet, the end of the booklet away from the glue rolling roller 221 will tilt up, causing the booklet to deviate. When glue is being rolled, the paper pressing plate 223 presses down on the booklet to prevent the booklet from tilting up and improve the stability of glue rolling.

[0039] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The spreading assembly includes a first push plate assembly 310 and a first suction cup 340. The first suction cup 340 is arranged below the bending assembly. The first push plate assembly 310 cooperates with the first suction cup 340 to spread the bottom page. The first suction cup 340 sucks the bottom page, and then the first push plate assembly 310 pushes the book, and the book body moves horizontally, so that the bottom page is spread out.

[0040] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The bending assembly includes a second push plate assembly 350, a second linear module 334, a first baffle 331 and a first pressure roller 333. The first baffle 331 and the first pressure roller 333 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. The second linear module 334 drives the first baffle 331 and the first pressure roller 333 to move in the vertical direction at the same time. The second push plate assembly 350 drives the book to move in the conveying direction. The first suction cup 340 releases the bottom page, and the blowing member blows up the bottom page. The bottom page enters between the first baffle 331 and the first pressure roller 333. The first pressure roller 333 descends, so that the first pressure roller 333 abuts against the book, and then the second push plate assembly 350 drives the book to move. During the movement of the book, the bottom page is gradually bent to the outer surface of the book and compacted by the first pressure roller 333, so that the bottom page is firmly bonded. It should be noted that the second linear module 334 can be a pneumatic linear slide module or an electric linear slide module.

[0041] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8The bending assembly is further provided with a first guide plate 332, the upper end of which is inclined toward the first baffle 331. The guide plate is bent toward the first baffle 331, and the bottom page extends along the guide plate into between the first baffle 331 and the first pressing roller 333. The guide plate guides the bottom page to be inclined toward the first baffle 331, so that when the first push plate assembly 310 pushes the book, the success rate of bending the bottom page toward the outside of the book is improved.

[0042] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first push plate assembly 310 includes a third linear module 318, a fourth linear module 317, a second bracket 311 and a first push plate 312. The third linear module 318 drives the second bracket 311 to move in the horizontal direction. The fourth linear module 317 and the first push plate 312 are both arranged on the second bracket 311. The fourth linear module 317 drives the first push plate 312 to move in the vertical direction. The first push plate 312 is driven to move in the vertical direction by the fourth linear module 317 to avoid interference between the first push plate 312 and the book, and the first push plate 312 is moved in the horizontal direction by the third linear module 318, and the first push plate 312 pushes the book to move. It should be noted that the third linear module 318 can be an electric linear slide module, and the fourth linear module 317 can be a pneumatic linear slide module.

[0043] It is understandable that, referring to Fig. 9 The second bracket 311 is provided with a ridge pressing assembly, which includes a fifth linear module 316, a connecting plate 314 and a ridge pressing plate 313. The fifth linear module 316 drives the connecting plate 314 to move in a vertical direction. The connecting plate 314 is slidingly connected to the ridge pressing plate 313, and a spring 315 is connected between the connecting plate 314 and the ridge pressing plate 313. The fourth linear module 317 drives the first push plate 312 to descend, so that the book is bent and bonded and abuts against the first push plate 312, and then the fifth linear module 316 drives the connecting plate 314 to move downward, and the connecting plate 314 drives the spine pressing plate 313 to move downward, and the spine pressing plate 313 abuts against the book and presses out the spine on the book. When the spine pressing plate 313 is pressed down on the book, the spine pressing plate 313 receives the reaction force of the book and drives the spine pressing plate 313 to move upward. When the spine pressing plate 313 moves upward, the spine pressing plate 313 stretches the spring 315, which increases the pressure of the spine pressing plate 313 on the book while avoiding damage to the book, so as to facilitate pressing out the spine on the book. It should be noted that the fifth linear module 316 can be a pneumatic linear slide module or an electric linear slide module.
