Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of document collection and organization technology, specifically to a paper document collection, organization, and binding device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, the level of office automation is constantly improving, but the application of automated equipment is relatively limited in the field of paper document processing. Traditional binding equipment has limited functions, only able to complete simple binding actions, and cannot achieve automatic collection, sorting, and flipping of documents. Furthermore, the paper output by printers is usually face down, requiring manual flipping, which further increases the workload and the probability of errors.

[0003] Although some simple document sorting and binding equipment exists on the market, most of these devices have limited functions and cannot achieve automated and integrated document processing. Some simple sorting equipment can only perform basic alignment operations and cannot solve problems such as paper flipping and static electricity. Therefore, we propose a paper document collection, sorting and binding device and its usage method. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a paper document collection, sorting and binding device and its usage method to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a paper document collection, sorting, and binding device, comprising a support base, a binding module for automatically binding paper documents is provided at one end of the top of the support base, a mounting frame is fixedly installed on the outside of the support base, and a printer for outputting printing materials is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame, a flipping module is provided at the top of the support base away from the binding module for receiving paper output by the printer and flipping the paper to face up before outputting it, a straight module is provided horizontally inside the support base, and a vibration alignment module is connected through the top of the sliding block of the straight module to receive paper output by the flipping module and vibrate to align the paper.

[0006] Preferably, the flipping module includes a fixed frame, and the fixed frame is fixedly connected to one end of the support base away from the binding module. A first conveyor roller group and a second conveyor roller group are arranged inside the fixed frame. Conveyor belts are arranged on the outer sides of the first conveyor roller group and the second conveyor roller group. The gap between the two conveyor belts forms a paper conveying channel, and the paper conveying channel is twisted or bent.

[0007] Preferably, the fixed frame is equipped with a drive motor for driving the first conveyor roller group and the second conveyor roller group to rotate, the gap at one end of the two conveyor belts forms a paper inlet, and the gap at the other end of the two conveyor belts forms a paper outlet.

[0008] Preferably, the vibration alignment module includes a support frame, which is fixedly connected to the sliding block of the linear module. A vibration motor is installed on the top of the support frame, and a motor base is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame outside the vibration motor. A rotary motor is fixedly installed inside the motor base. A fixed seat is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the rotary motor, and a tray is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed seat. An antistatic fan for removing static electricity from the paper is provided on the top of the tray.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the support frame is fitted with a baffle to prevent paper tickets from falling off the outside of the tray.

[0010] Preferably, a locking motor is installed on the outside of the support frame, and the locking motor is used to tighten and lock the tray after the paper is aligned.

[0011] Preferably, the preset rotation angle of the rotary motor is 75°.

[0012] A paper document collection, sorting, and binding device according to any of the above-described methods includes the following steps:

[0013] Step 1: After the device is started, the printer begins to work. According to the preset program or externally input instructions, the printer outputs the content of the document to be printed onto the paper. The printed paper is output from the paper output port of the printer. The paper output by the printer is usually face down.

[0014] Step 2: The output paper enters the paper inlet of the flipping module. After the paper enters the paper conveying channel from the paper inlet, the two conveyor belts start to run under the drive of the first conveyor roller group and the second conveyor roller group. The paper moves along the twisting channel. During this process, the paper completes a 180° flip, so that the originally downward-facing side becomes upward-facing. The flipped paper is output from the paper outlet.

[0015] Step 3: The linear module drives the vibration alignment module to move to the flipping module. The rotary motor rotates the tray 75°, making the tray lower at one end of the flipping module. At this time, the output paper falls onto the tray. Then, the rotary motor controls the tray to return to a horizontal position, and the vibration motor works, causing the paper on the tray to vibrate. During the vibration, the paper rubs against each other, gradually adjusting its position to achieve alignment. At the same time, the anti-static fan starts running, generating airflow to blow onto the paper. After the paper is aligned, the locking motor works, and its ejector shaft presses against the tray, fixing the tray's position.

[0016] Step 4: The linear module moves the vibration alignment module to the binding module, aligning the arranged documents with the binding module. The binding module then begins to work, binding the documents according to the preset binding method.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] 1. The paper output by the printer of this invention is usually face down. The flipping module drives the conveyor belt through the first and second conveyor roller groups. By using the paper conveying channel which is set in a twisted or bent manner, the paper is flipped 180 degrees during the movement, so that the originally face down side is face up. This solves the problem of the mismatch between the printer's paper output direction and the subsequent sorting and binding requirements. There is no need to manually flip the paper, which improves the processing efficiency. At the same time, it avoids the possibility of missed flipping or incorrect flipping that may occur during manual operation, and ensures the accuracy of document processing.

[0019] 2. In this invention, the linear module drives the vibration alignment module to move to a suitable position to receive paper. The rotary motor first drives the tray to rotate 75°, making one end lower to facilitate paper reception, and then returns it to a horizontal position. After that, the vibration motor works to make the paper on the tray vibrate. The paper rubs against each other and moves during the vibration, achieving automatic alignment. Compared with manual alignment, it is more efficient and accurate, and can quickly organize scattered paper into neat rows, providing a good foundation for subsequent binding work.

[0020] 3. The anti-static fan installed on the top of the tray of this invention operates synchronously with the paper vibration alignment, generating airflow that blows onto the paper, effectively removing static electricity from the paper surface. This prevents the paper from being difficult to separate and align due to static adhesion, further improving the alignment effect and ensuring the quality of document processing.

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides a technical solution: a paper document collection, sorting and binding device, including a support base 1, a binding module 2 for automatically binding paper documents is provided at one end of the top of the support base 1, a mounting frame 3 is fixedly installed on the outside of the support base 1, and a printer 4 for outputting printing materials is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 3, a flipping module 5 is provided at the top of the support base 1 away from the binding module 2 for receiving the paper output by the printer 4 and flipping the paper to face up before outputting it, a straight module 6 is provided in the support base 1 along the horizontal direction, and the top of the sliding block of the straight module 6 passes through the support base 1 and is connected to a vibration alignment module 7 for receiving the paper output by the flipping module 5 and vibrating to align the paper.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 The flipping module 5 includes a fixed frame 51. The fixed frame 51 is fixedly connected to the top of the support base 1 away from the binding module 2. The fixed frame 51 is provided with a first conveying roller group 52 and a second conveying roller group 53. The outer sides of the first conveying roller group 52 and the second conveying roller group 53 are provided with conveying belts 58. The gap between the two conveying belts 58 forms a paper conveying channel, and the paper conveying channel is twisted or bent.

[0028] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the drive motor 55 installed in the fixed frame 51 provides a stable and continuous power source for the rotation of the first conveyor roller group 52 and the second conveyor roller group 53, so that the two conveyor roller groups can operate at a predetermined speed and direction, thereby driving the conveyor belt 58 to move stably, ensuring that the paper can be smoothly and stably transported in the paper conveying channel.

[0029] Please see Figure 2 The fixed frame 51 is equipped with a drive motor 55 for driving the first conveyor roller group 52 and the second conveyor roller group 53 to rotate. The gap at one end of the two conveyor belts 58 forms the paper inlet 54, and the gap at the other end of the two conveyor belts 58 forms the paper outlet 56.

[0030] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a pulley box is provided in the fixed frame 51, and two pulleys are provided in the pulley box and connected by a transmission belt. The output shaft end of the drive motor 55 is fixedly connected to the central shaft of one of the pulleys. The central shafts of the two drive rollers on the conveyor belt 58 located at one end of the drive motor 55 are respectively fixedly connected to the central shafts of the two pulleys, so that when the drive motor 55 is working, it can drive the two conveyor belts 58 to convey the paper synchronously.

[0031] Please see Figure 3 The vibration alignment module 7 includes a support frame 71, which is fixedly connected to the sliding block of the linear module 6. A vibration motor 74 is mounted on the top of the support frame 71, and a motor base is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 71 outside the vibration motor 74. A rotary motor 77 is fixedly installed inside the motor base. A fixed seat 78 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the rotary motor 77, and a tray 76 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed seat 78. An antistatic fan 73 for removing static electricity from the paper is provided on the top of the tray 76.

[0032] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, after the device is started, the printer 4 starts working. According to the preset program or externally input instructions, the printer 4 outputs the contents of the ticket to be printed onto the paper. The printed paper is output from the paper output port of the printer 4. The paper output by the printer 4 is usually face down.

[0033] The output paper enters the paper inlet 54 of the flipping module 5. After the paper enters the paper conveying channel from the paper inlet 54, the two conveying belts 58 start to run under the drive of the first conveying roller group 52 and the second conveying roller group 53. The paper moves along the twisted channel. During this process, the paper completes a 180° flip, so that the originally downward-facing side becomes the upward-facing side. The flipped paper is output from the paper outlet 56.

[0034] The linear module 6 drives the vibration alignment module 7 to move to the flipping module 5. The rotary motor 77 operates, causing the tray 76 to rotate 75°, so that the tray 76 is positioned at a lower end of the flipping module 5. At this time, the output paper falls onto the tray 76. Then, the rotary motor 77 operates to control the tray 76 to return to a horizontal position. The vibration motor 74 operates, causing the paper on the tray 76 to vibrate. During the vibration, the paper rubs against each other and moves, gradually adjusting its position to achieve alignment. At the same time, the anti-static fan 73 starts to operate, generating airflow to blow onto the paper, effectively removing static electricity from the paper surface and preventing the paper from being difficult to align due to static attraction. After the paper is aligned, the locking motor 72 operates, and its ejector shaft presses against the tray 76, fixing the position of the tray 76.

[0035] After the paper has been collected, sorted and aligned, the linear module 6 moves the vibration alignment module 7 to the binding module 2, so that the sorted documents are aligned with the binding module 2. The binding module 2 then starts to work and binds the documents according to the preset binding method, thus completing the collection, sorting and binding of the paper documents.

[0036] Please see Figure 3 The top of the support frame 71 is equipped with a baffle 75 for preventing paper tickets from falling off, located outside the tray 76.

[0037] It should be noted that, in order to prevent the paper from falling off the tray 76 during the alignment process, a baffle 75 is installed on the top of the support frame 71 outside the tray 76 to prevent the paper from falling off.

[0038] Please see Figure 3 A locking motor 72 is installed on the outside of the support frame 71. The locking motor 72 is used to tighten and lock the tray 76 after the paper is aligned.

[0039] It should be noted that in this embodiment, after the paper is aligned, the locking motor 72 operates, and its ejector shaft presses against the tray 76 to fix the position of the tray 76. This can prevent the paper from being misaligned again during subsequent movement or binding, ensuring the stability of the documents in the aligned state, so that the binding mold 2 can accurately bind the sorted documents, thereby improving the reliability and binding quality of the entire device.

[0040] Please see Figure 3 The preset rotation angle of the rotary motor 77 is 75°.

[0041] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the paper is output from the paper outlet 56, the linear module 6 drives the vibration alignment module 7 to move to a suitable position to receive the paper. The rotary motor 77 first drives the tray 76 to rotate 75° toward the paper outlet 56, so that one end is lower to facilitate better paper reception.

[0042] According to any of the above paper document collection, sorting and binding devices, the following steps are included:

[0043] Step 1: After the device is started, printer 4 begins to work. According to the preset program or external input instructions, printer 4 outputs the content of the ticket to be printed onto the paper. The printed paper is output from the paper output port of printer 4. The paper output by printer 4 is usually face down.

[0044] Step 2: The output paper enters the paper inlet 54 of the flipping module 5. After the paper enters the paper conveying channel from the paper inlet 54, the two conveying belts 58 start to run under the drive of the first conveying roller group 52 and the second conveying roller group 53. The paper moves along the twisting channel. During this process, the paper completes a 180° flip, so that the originally downward-facing side becomes the upward-facing side. The flipped paper is output from the paper outlet 56.

[0045] Step 3: The linear module 6 drives the vibration alignment module 7 to move to the flipping module 5. The rotary motor 77 operates, causing the tray 76 to rotate 75°, so that the tray 76 is positioned at a lower end of the flipping module 5. At this time, the output paper falls onto the tray 76. Then, the rotary motor 77 operates to control the tray 76 to return to a horizontal position. The vibration motor 74 operates, causing the paper on the tray 76 to vibrate. During the vibration, the paper rubs against each other, gradually adjusting its position to achieve alignment. At the same time, the anti-static fan 73 starts to run, generating airflow to blow onto the paper. After the paper is aligned, the locking motor 72 operates, and its ejector shaft presses against the tray 76, fixing the position of the tray 76.

[0046] Step 4: The linear module 6 moves the vibration alignment module 7 to the binding module 2, aligning the arranged documents with the binding module 2. The binding module 2 then starts working and binds the documents according to the preset binding method.

[0047] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," and "fourth" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first," "second," "third," or "fourth" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.
