Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of printed matter processing, and in particular to an automatic book transposition operating machine. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of existing books, after the book core and cover are glued together by an automatic cover machine, they need to be transported to the next process by a conveyor belt. However, due to the limited space in the production workshop, the conveyor belt often needs to turn to transport the books to the next processing equipment. During the conveyor belt turning process, the transported books also need to be written, and this process requires the staff to change the position of the books, resulting in a waste of labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to turn and transpose books, the present application provides an automatic book transposition operating machine.

[0004] The automatic book transposition operation machine provided by this application adopts the following technical solution:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The technical solution in this application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] The present application embodiment discloses a book automatic transposition operating machine. Figure 1The book automatic transposition operation machine comprises a first conveyor belt 1, a second conveyor belt 2 and a third conveyor belt 3. The first conveyor belt 1 is located above the second conveyor belt 2, and the conveying directions of the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2 are perpendicular to each other, the top surfaces of the second conveyor belt 2 and the third conveyor belt 3 are in the same plane, and the conveying directions of the second conveyor belt 2 and the third conveyor belt 3 are the same, so that when the book falls onto the first conveyor belt 1 from the automatic cover machine and moves to the third conveyor belt 3 via the turning of the second conveyor belt 2, the conveying direction is changed by 90 degrees.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A reversing protrusion 11 made of rubber is fixedly arranged at one end of the first conveyor belt 1 close to the second conveyor belt 2. When a book falls from the first conveyor belt 1 to the second conveyor belt 2, one end of the book will fall on the reversing protrusion 11, and the other end of the book will fall directly on the second conveyor belt 2. At this time, the reversing protrusion 11 can prop up one corner of the book and suspend it in the air, and the conveying action of the second conveyor belt 2 will drive the other corner of the book to turn 90 degrees with the reversing protrusion 11 as the fulcrum. As the book turns, the contact area between the book and the reversing protrusion 11 becomes smaller and smaller, until the book turns 90 degrees, the book will slide off the reversing protrusion 11 and fall completely on the second conveyor belt 2, and then the second conveyor belt 2 will convey the book to the third conveyor belt 3. At the same time, in order to reduce the friction between the book and the first conveyor belt 1 when turning, a guide roller 12 is rotatably arranged on the first conveyor belt 1, and the guide roller 12 is located above the reversing protrusion 11. When the book rests on the reversing protrusion 11, the book can also rest on the guide roller 12 at the same time, so that the book can turn more smoothly and is not easy to rub against the first conveyor belt 1, thereby playing a certain protective role for the book.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 In order to make the position of the book on the first conveyor belt 1 correspond to the reversing protrusion 11, so that a corner of the book can accurately press on the reversing protrusion 11 when falling, a limiting mechanism is provided on the first conveyor belt 1. The limiting mechanism includes a track 41 fixedly arranged on the first conveyor belt 1, a bracket 42 slidably arranged on the track 41, a limiting plate 43 slidably arranged on the bracket 42, and a positioning assembly for fixing the position of the limiting plate 43. Among them, the bracket 42 slides in the length direction of the first conveyor belt 1, and the limiting plate 43 slides in the width direction of the first conveyor belt 1. When the book is discharged from the automatic cover machine, the limiting plate 43 can block the book, so that the book can fall on the designated position on the first conveyor belt 1, and play a certain limiting role on the book, so that when the book falls from the first conveyor belt 1, a corner of the book can accurately press on the reversing protrusion 11. By changing the position of the bracket 42 and the limiting plate 43, it can be applied to the limiting of books of different specifications.

[0033] For details, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a positioning slide 421 is provided on the bracket 42, and a positioning slider 431 is fixedly provided on the limiting plate 43. The positioning slider 431 is in an I-shape and is slidably provided on the positioning slide 421. The positioning assembly includes buttons 44 slidably provided on both sides of the positioning slider 431, positioning protrusions 45 fixedly provided on the buttons 44, positioning grooves 46 uniformly provided on the bracket 42, and an elastic member for pushing the two buttons 44 away from each other. Among them, the elastic member is a spring 47, one end of the spring 47 is fixed to the button 44, and the other end of the spring 47 is fixed to the positioning slider 431. When the spring 47 is in the original length state, the button 44 can extend from the positioning slider 431. At this time, the positioning protrusion 45 is clamped in the positioning groove 46, thereby achieving the fixation of the positioning slider 431, so that the positioning slider 431 cannot move on the positioning slide 421. When the button 44 is pressed, the spring 47 is compressed, the button 44 is retracted into the positioning slider 431, and the positioning protrusion 45 is disengaged from the positioning groove 46, so that the positioning slider 431 can move normally on the positioning slide 421. The staff can press the button 44 while holding the positioning slider 431, which is convenient for the staff to move the positioning slider 431. When the staff releases the positioning slider 431, the button 44 rebounds under the action of the spring 47, thereby fixing the position of the positioning slider 431.

[0034] For further information, please refer to Figure 1 In order to adjust the books to the center position of the third conveyor belt 3 and facilitate entering the next processing step, a centering component is provided on the third conveyor belt 3. Specifically, the centering component includes a cylinder 51 fixedly provided on both sides of the third conveyor belt 3, a push plate 52 fixedly provided on the piston rod of the cylinder 51, and a roller 53 rotatably provided on the push plate 52. When the books move along the third conveyor belt 3, the piston rod of the cylinder 51 extends, so that the push plate 52 extends to move the books to the center position of the third conveyor belt 3, and the provision of the roller 53 can make the books move more smoothly during the process, and will not hinder the movement of the books on the third conveyor belt 3.

[0035] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: after the book is discharged from the automatic cover machine, it falls on the first conveyor belt 1 due to the blocking effect of the limit plate 43. When the book falls from the first conveyor belt 1, one corner of the book will be against the reversing protrusion 11, thereby being propped up, and the other corner of the book will fall on the second conveyor belt 2, and driven by the second conveyor belt 2, the reversing protrusion 11 is used as a fulcrum to rotate 90 degrees, thereby completing the turning of the book. After the book moves from the second conveyor belt 2 to the third conveyor belt 3, the piston rod of the cylinder 51 extends, so that the push plate 52 moves the book to the center position of the third conveyor belt 3.

[0036] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
