Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of book printing, and particularly to a book edge painting and spraying process for book fore-edges. Background Art

[0002] During the printing process of books, in order to make them more beautiful, currently, gold or silver edges are sprayed at the fore-edge position, or other colors are sprayed, so that the fore-edge position of the book is no longer pure white. Since the fore-edge position is on the book edge between the book covers, the book edge is the side edge of the book page, and the side edges formed by all the book pages become a line. A book consists of several pages, which are bound and stacked together, from the line to the surface, forming the fore-edge.

[0003] Due to the limitations of the existing edge spraying technology, only a single color can be sprayed on the fore-edge. In actual later applications, it is found that there is a certain degree of color fading, and even liquid seepage into the book pages after spraying, which affects the printing quality of the books. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a book edge painting and spraying process for book fore-edges to solve the problems encountered in the above background art.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A book edge painting and spraying process for book fore-edges includes the following steps:

[0007] S1. At the upper book position of the edge spraying device, place the fore-edge to be painted downward, and clamp both sides of the book through a clamping system;

[0008] S2. Flip the book to the observation position, and clean the fore-edge to be painted through a cleaning system;

[0009] S3. Flip the book to the printing position, and use ink to spray the fore-edge to be painted through a spraying system to automatically draw patterns;

[0010] S4. Flip the book to the lower book position, loosen the book by the clamping system, and take out the book;

[0011] S5. Repeat steps S1 to S4 until the painting and spraying work on all the fore-edges to be painted is completed.

[0012] To implement the above process flow, a flipping system is provided in the edge spraying device. The flipping system has a cross-shaped structure, and the middle of the flipping system is a turntable. The working positions of the four working ends are respectively the upper book position, the observation position, the printing position, and the lower book position.

[0013] According to the above-mentioned flipping system, the clamping system includes a first driving device and a push plate. The first driving device is installed at four working ends of the flipping system. The first driving device is in transmission connection with the push plate to clamp the book at the four working ends of the flipping system, and the book edge to be spray-painted abuts against the book supporting plate. Among them, in the lower book position, the clamping system pulls back the push plate through the first driving device to loosen the book. The book supporting plate is arranged at the four working ends of the flipping system and moves back and forth along the four working ends of the flipping system.

[0014] According to the above-mentioned flipping system, the cleaning system includes a second driving device and a brush plate. The second driving device is installed at four working ends of the flipping system. The second driving device is in transmission connection with the brush plate to push the working end of the brush plate back and forth against the book edge to be spray-painted.

[0015] According to the above-mentioned flipping system, the spraying system includes a third driving device, an ink cartridge and a printing device. The third driving device is installed at the top of the edge spraying device. The third driving device is in transmission connection with the printing device, and the printing device uses the ink cartridge to perform color painting and edge spraying on the book edge to be spray-painted.

[0016] In addition, a control system is installed in the edge spraying device. Buttons for driving the flipping of the working station are set in the control system, including buttons for the flipping angle and forward and reverse rotation; buttons for driving the clamping system to work are set in the control system, and the movement stroke is set. As a preferred solution, a typesetting unit for spray-painting different books at one time is set in the control system, and the typesetting unit adjusts the colors and layouts of the book edges to be spray-painted for each book.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: Through this process, color painting and edge spraying of the book edge can be realized, meeting the needs of customers, and bringing more beautiful patterns to the appearance of the book, stimulating the purchase desire of consumers. The clamping system can prevent the penetration of the ink material, and the cleaning system can improve the adhesion of the ink material and prevent color fading. In addition, since multiple books and even different types of books can be edge-sprayed separately at one time, the working efficiency of edge spraying can be greatly improved.

[0021] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects of the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will now be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are all simplified schematic diagrams, only illustrating the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, so they only show the relevant components of the present invention.

[0022] According to the technical solution of the present invention, without changing the essence of the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art can propose various interchangeable structural ways and implementation ways. Therefore, the following specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings are only exemplary descriptions of the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be regarded as the whole of the present invention or as a limitation or restriction on the technical solution of the present invention.

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] As Figure 1 shown, a process for painting the edges of the fore-edge of a book includes the following steps:

[0025] S1. At the upper book position of the edge-spraying device, place the fore-edge to be spray-painted downward and clamp both sides of the book through a clamping system. Since the fore-edge to be spray-painted is downward, after clamping the book, the downward fore-edge can be positioned, so as to facilitate the adjustment of its position after rotation and facilitate subsequent process operations. In addition, since the fore-edge to be spray-painted is downward, the fore-edge to be spray-painted is more neat, and after clamping the book, the penetration of toner can be prevented.

[0026] S2. Flip the book to the observation position and clean the fore-edge to be spray-painted through a cleaning system. Remove the paper powder or debris attached to the fore-edge through cleaning, providing good conditions for the flatness of printing. After cleaning, the fore-edge is cleaner, flatter and smoother, which is beneficial to the adhesion of the ink and prevents color fading.

[0027] S3. Flip the book to the printing position and spray the fore-edge to be spray-painted with ink through a spraying system to automatically draw patterns. The sprayed patterns can be continuous cyclic painted patterns or set pictures. It should be noted that the sprayed patterns should match the patterns on the book cover. For example, if the book cover is a pink page, then the sprayed patterns should also be pink-based patterns. In addition, according to customer requirements, relevant patterns and colors can be prefabricated.

[0028] S4. Flip the book to the lower book position, loosen the book by the clamping system, and take out the book. If the taken-out book has not completed the edge-spraying operation of other fore-edges, continue to execute step S5; if completed, end the process and take out the book.

[0029] S5, looping steps S1 to S4 until all the edges of the books that need to be sprayed have completed the spraying work.

[0030] In order to realize the above process flow, a flipping system is provided in the edge spraying equipment. The flipping system has a cross-shaped structure. The middle part of the flipping system is a turntable, and the workstations at the four working ends are respectively the upper writing position, the observation position, the printing position, and the lower writing position.

[0031] According to the above-mentioned flipping system, the clamping system includes a first driving device and a push plate. The first driving device can adopt a cylinder or an electric cylinder. The first driving device is installed in the four working ends of the flipping system. The first driving device is connected to the push plate for transmission to clamp the books at the four working ends of the flipping system, and the edge of the book to be sprayed is against the book support board.

[0032] Among them, in the lower book position, the clamping system pulls the push plate back through the first driving device to release the book. The book support board is set at the four working ends of the flipping system and moves back and forth along the four working ends of the flipping system. The lifting position is determined according to the thickness or height of the books placed. For example, the heights of books with A4 pages, books with A3 pages, and books with A5 pages are different. The different number of books placed will also lead to different thicknesses. By adjusting the position of the book support board, the height is adjusted to facilitate more stable clamping and shaping, and stable shaping of multiple sides of the book.

[0033] According to the above-mentioned flipping system, the cleaning system includes a second driving device and a brush plate. The second driving device can be a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder. The second driving device is installed at the four working ends of the flipping system. The second driving device is connected to the brush plate in a transmission manner, and the working end of the brush plate is pushed back and forth on the edge of the book to be sprayed. A flexible brush or sponge is installed on the brush plate, which pushes back and forth on the position of the book edge leaking after flipping to clean the debris or book powder on the book edge.

[0034] According to the above-mentioned flipping system, the spraying system includes a third drive device, an ink cartridge and a printing device. The second drive device can adopt a screw nut mechanism. The third drive device is installed on the top of the spraying device. The third drive device is connected to the printing device by transmission. The printing device uses the ink cartridge to spray the edge of the book that needs to be sprayed.

[0035] In addition, the edge spraying equipment is equipped with a control system, which is equipped with a button to drive the station to flip, including the flip angle and forward and reverse buttons. The control system is equipped with a case to drive the clamping system to work and set the movement stroke. Figure 2 , through the display screen of the control system, click forward to turn the flip system clockwise, click reverse to turn the flip system counterclockwise. By clicking the upright triangle pattern, the book support board rises, and by clicking the reverse triangle pattern, the book support board falls.

[0036] In addition, the display screen of the control system also shows the status of the device, such as being in four working positions: the upper book position, the observation position, the printing position, and the lower book position. By clicking on the corresponding working position, the corresponding process can be executed. In addition, the control of the clamping system is also set. By clicking on the left arrow, the loosening operation can be achieved, and by clicking on the right arrow, the clamping operation can be achieved. During the clicking process, the stroke can be viewed, and the stroke accuracy is 0.1 mm, providing a basis for the subsequent pattern layout spacing.

[0037] Among them, a function key bar is set at the top of the display screen of the control system. By clicking on the corresponding icon, functions such as saving, printing, proofreading, system settings, power on / off, restart, and warning can be achieved.

[0038] As a preferred solution, a typesetting unit for spraying different books at one time is set in the control system. The typesetting unit adjusts and arranges the colors of the book edges of each book to be sprayed. The typesetting unit follows the ordinary printing typesetting system and arranges the patterns for the book edge part according to the thickness of the book, excluding the thickness of the cover. During the process of painting and spraying the book edge, different books can be sprayed with different patterns at one time, meeting the needs of different customers at one time and reducing the workload.

[0039] For example, the original spraying edge was for the same kind of book, but with the typesetting unit, the pattern intervals can be set according to different books. Through one process, different patterns can be sprayed on the book edges of multiple books respectively, meeting the needs of small batches and the output effect of book samples.

[0040] The specific embodiments described above have further elaborated on the purpose, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the present invention. It should be understood that the above are only specific embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
