A new multipurpose page coupling machine

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of collating machine technology and discloses a novel multi-purpose collating machine, including a base and a collating machine mounted on the top surface of the base. A base plate is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the collating machine. Two force-bearing blocks are movably mounted on the top of the base plate. A motor drives a rotating push rod to press the force-bearing blocks, causing the slider and connecting rod to move synchronously, achieving coordinated adjustment of each layer of baffles (baffles one and two). This eliminates the need for separate operation of each baffle layer, significantly shortening the specification switching time and improving the efficiency of continuous collating operations. Simultaneously, the coordinated structure ensures symmetrical spacing and precise positioning of the baffles on both sides, effectively avoiding problems such as paper misalignment, paper jams, and collating misalignment.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of collating machine technology, specifically, it relates to a novel multi-purpose collating machine. Background Technology

[0002] A collating machine, also known as a bookbinding machine, is an automated device that replaces manual collating of paper or bookmarks. It is mainly used to combine pages of different numbers of paper or bookmarks into a book in sequence. Existing collating machines are mainly divided into two categories: bookmark collating machines and sheet-fed collating machines. Common models include rotary collating machines, tower collating machines, and suction collating machines.

[0003] Existing conventional suction collating machines use separate, independent baffles for each layer. During production, whenever the paper width or specifications are changed, each baffle requires individual adjustment, alignment, installation, and locking – multiple steps in total. This separate adjustment significantly increases the time spent on specification changes, directly extending the overall collating preparation time and severely reducing the efficiency of continuous collating operations. Furthermore, independent adjustment on both sides is prone to issues such as asymmetrical spacing and positioning deviations, easily leading to problems like paper misalignment, paper jams, and misaligned collating.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the issue that existing conventional suction collating machines use separate, independent baffles for each layer, which requires multiple steps of adjustment, alignment, installation, and locking for each baffle during production—significantly increasing the time spent on specification changes and extending overall collating preparation time, thus severely reducing continuous collating efficiency—this invention offers a solution based on the following: A novel multi-purpose collating machine includes a base and a collating machine mounted on the top surface of the base. A base plate is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the collating machine. A first force-bearing block and a second force-bearing block are movably mounted on the top of the base plate. A rotating push rod is disposed between the first and second force-bearing blocks. A motor is connected to the top of the rotating push rod. A first slider and a second slider are connected to the bottom of the first and second force-bearing blocks. A connecting rod is connected to the top of the first and second sliders. A baffle plate and a baffle plate are connected to the top of the connecting rod. The rotation of the rotating push rod causes the first and second force-bearing blocks to move, which in turn causes the first and second sliders to move. The movement of the first and second sliders causes the connecting rod to move, which in turn causes the first and second baffle plates to move, thus achieving synchronous and coordinated adjustment of each layer.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two sliding grooves are formed at the top of the base plate. Sliding rod 1 and sliding rod 2 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. Sliding rod 1 and sliding rod 2 are slidably disposed on the outer wall of sliding rod 1 and sliding rod 2. Spring 1 and spring 2 are connected to the outer wall of sliding rod 1 and sliding rod 2. The ends of spring 1 and spring 2 away from sliding rod 1 and sliding rod 2 are connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. A bearing plate is provided inside the folding machine. The bottom end of the motor is installed at the bottom end of the bottommost bearing plate.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the top of the bearing plate is provided with a sliding groove, the outer wall of the connecting rod is movably disposed on the inner wall of the sliding groove, the outer wall of the first baffle is provided with a movable groove, and the outer wall of the second baffle is movably disposed on the inner wall of the movable groove.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer walls of both the first force-bearing block and the second force-bearing block are provided with inclined surfaces for receiving force, and a gap is left between the first force-bearing block and the second force-bearing block, and the rotating push rod is disposed in the gap between the two.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the groove opened at the top of the base plate is respectively fitted to the outer wall of slider one and slider two.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there are several bearing plates and several connecting rods connecting the bearing plates, and the connecting rods sequentially connect baffle one and baffle two of each layer.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the through groove is fitted to the outer wall of the connecting rod.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: This invention utilizes a motor-driven rotating push rod to compress a force-bearing block, causing the slider and connecting rod to move synchronously. This achieves coordinated adjustment of each layer of baffles (first and second), eliminating the need for separate operation of each baffle layer, significantly reducing specification switching time and improving the efficiency of continuous collating operations. Simultaneously, the coordinated structure ensures symmetrical spacing and precise positioning of the baffles on both sides, effectively preventing problems such as paper misalignment, paper jams, and collating misalignment.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a novel multi-purpose collating machine includes a base 1 and a collating machine 2 mounted on the top surface of the base 1. A base plate 3 is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the collating machine 2. A force-bearing block 8 and a force-bearing block 12 are movably mounted on the top of the base plate 3. A rotating push rod 13 is positioned between the force-bearing blocks 8 and 12. A motor 14 is connected to the top of the rotating push rod 13. A slider 5 and a slider 10 are connected to the bottom of the force-bearing blocks 8 and 12. A connecting rod 7 is connected to the top of the sliders 5 and 10. A baffle 17 and a baffle 19 are connected to the top of the connecting rod 7. The rotating push rod 13 rotates, causing the force-bearing blocks 8 and 12 to move, which in turn causes the sliders 5 and 10 to move. 10 moves, slider 1 5 and slider 2 10 move, driving link 7 to move, link 7 moves, driving baffle 1 17 and baffle 2 19 to move, completing the synchronous linkage adjustment of each layer. The top of the base plate 3 has two slide grooves, and the inner wall of the slide groove is respectively connected to slide rod 1 4 and slide rod 2 9. Slider 1 5 and slider 2 10 slide on the outer wall of slide rod 1 4 and slide rod 2 9. Spring 1 6 and spring 2 11 are connected to the outer wall of slider 1 5 and slider 2 10. The end of spring 1 6 and spring 2 11 away from slider 1 5 and slider 2 10 is connected to the inner wall of the slide groove. The folding machine 2 is equipped with a support plate 15. The bottom of the motor 14 is installed at the bottom of the bottom support plate 15.

[0018] Furthermore, a sliding groove 16 is provided at the top of the bearing plate 15, the outer wall of the connecting rod 7 is movably disposed on the inner wall of the sliding groove 16, the outer wall of the first baffle 17 is provided with a movable groove 18, and the outer wall of the second baffle 19 is movably disposed on the inner wall of the movable groove 18.

[0019] Furthermore, both the outer walls of the first force-bearing block 8 and the second force-bearing block 12 are provided with inclined surfaces for bearing force. There is a gap between the first force-bearing block 8 and the second force-bearing block 12. The rotating push rod 13 is set in the gap between the two, so that the first force-bearing block 8 and the second force-bearing block 12 can be squeezed simultaneously during the rotation of the rotating push rod 13, thereby driving the first baffle 17 and the second baffle 19 to move and adjust simultaneously. The inner wall of the groove opened at the top of the bottom plate 3 is fitted to the outer wall of the first slider 5 and the second slider 10 respectively, thereby improving the stability of the moving support of the first slider 5 and the second slider 10.

[0020] Furthermore, there are several bearing plates 15, and several connecting rods 7 connecting the bearing plates 15. The connecting rods 7 are sequentially connected to the first baffle 17 and the second baffle 19 of each layer. Through the sequential connection of the connecting rods 7, the first baffle 17 and the second baffle 19 of each layer can be moved synchronously, so that there is no need for individual adjustment of each layer. The inner wall of the sliding groove 16 fits snugly with the outer wall of the connecting rod 7, thereby improving the tightness of the fit between the outer wall of the connecting rod 7 and the inner wall of the sliding groove 16, thereby improving the movement stability of the connecting rod 7.

[0021] The implementation principle of this novel multi-purpose folding machine is as follows: First, the motor 14 is started, and its output end will drive the rotating push rod 13 to rotate. As the rotating push rod 13 rotates, its two outer walls will respectively contact and squeeze the force-receiving block 8 and the force-receiving block 12. The squeezed force-receiving block 8 and the force-receiving block 12 will move to the right and downward respectively. As the force-receiving block 8 and the force-receiving block 12 move, they will respectively drive the slider 5 and the slider 10 to move along the outer walls of the slider 4 and the slider 29. At the same time, during the movement, the spring 6 and the spring 11 will be squeezed and compressed respectively. In this way, the slider 5 and the spring 10 can be squeezed and compressed. The movement of slider 2 10 causes the connecting rod 7 at the top of both to move synchronously. The movement of connecting rod 7 can drive the baffle 1 17 and baffle 2 19 at the top to move. At this time, the outer wall of baffle 2 19 will move in the inner wall of the movable groove 18 opened on the outer wall of baffle 1 17. In this way, baffle 1 17 and baffle 2 19 will move away from each other, thereby expanding the area on the support plate 15 for placing the page to the maximum. At the same time, the multiple connecting rods 7 can connect baffle 1 17 and baffle 2 19 of each layer to each other, thereby ensuring that baffle 1 17 and baffle 2 19 of each layer can move synchronously, thereby avoiding the need to adjust the position of baffle 1 17 and baffle 2 19 of each layer separately. After expanding to the maximum area, the pages can be placed sequentially on the support plate 15 of each layer. When placing the pages, the left and top ends of the pages should be pressed tightly against the inner wall of the page stacking machine 2. After placement, the motor 14 can be started and its output end can be reversed to drive the rotating push rod 13 to gradually eliminate the compression on the first force block 8 and the second force block 12. In this way, the first spring 6 and the second spring 11 will rebound and drive the first slider 5 and the second slider 10 to reset and move. As the first slider 5 and the second slider 10 reset and move, the connecting rod 7 at the top can be moved. Through the movement of the connecting rod 7, the first baffle 17 and the second baffle 19 at the top can be moved closer to each other until the inner sides of the first baffle 17 and the second baffle 19 abut against the right and bottom ends of the page, thereby completing the limiting and fixing of the page.

[0022] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
