[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bookbinding machines, and particularly relates to a book clamping structure suitable for a manual gluing device. Background Art

[0002] In the process of book production, binding is a crucial step. With the progress of technology, automated binding equipment has been widely used, and these equipment usually have the characteristics of high efficiency, high precision, and suitability for mass production. However, in the initial stage of publication, due to the need for making sample books and considering cost-effectiveness, it is often uneconomical to use automated equipment to produce a small number of sample books.

[0003] Under this background, manual gluing devices have emerged. Compared with automated binding equipment, manual gluing devices have the advantages of low usage cost and simple operation, and are particularly suitable for making a small number of sample books in the initial stage of publication. During the gluing process of a manual gluing device, in order to ensure that the glue is evenly applied to the spine of the book, it is necessary to clamp each page of the book to keep the book stable for uniform gluing.

Detailed implementation manners

[0023] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 , a book clamping structure applicable to a manual gluing device of the present utility model is used to be installed on the operating table surface of a bookbinding machine to clamp a book page 5 to be processed, and includes a fixed plate 1, a clamping plate 2 provided on the fixed plate 1, a driving mechanism 3 for driving the two clamping plates 2 to move, and a guide rod assembly 4 provided on the fixed plate 1. The driving mechanism 3 can drive the two clamping plates 2 to move towards or away from each other to clamp or release the book page 5 to be processed. The guide rod assembly 4 is used to connect the fixed plate 1 and the operating table surface, and the fixed plate 1 realizes vertical movement relative to the operating table surface through the guide rod assembly 4.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the fixing plate 1 includes a fixing frame 11 and a top wall 12. The fixing frame 11 is formed by enclosing a plurality of vertical side walls, and at least one pair of the side walls are arranged oppositely. The top wall 12 is arranged at the upper ends of the plurality of side walls and closes the upper opening of the fixing frame 11. The top wall 12 is provided with a slot 13 vertically penetrating for the clamping plate 2 to slide therein, and the width of the slot 13 matches the width of the clamping plate 2. In the illustrated embodiment, the number of the side walls is four, and the four side walls enclose a rectangular fixing frame 11. Such a setting makes the appearance of the fixing frame 11 more beautiful, the overall structure of the device more compact, and at the same time saves the material of the side walls. In other embodiments, the number of the side walls can also be other numbers.

[0026] The guide rod assembly 4 includes two groups symmetrically arranged at both ends of the fixing plate 1 in the length direction. Each group of the guide rod assembly 4 includes a fixed rod 41 and a sliding rod 42. The fixed rod 41 is arranged vertically, and a base 43 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the fixed rod 41. The base 43 is used to connect the fixed rod 41 to the operation table surface. The base 43 and the fixed rod 41 are coaxially arranged. Such a setting makes the centers of gravity of the base 43 and the fixed rod 41 located on the same central axis, making the connection between the fixed rod 41 and the operation table surface more stable, and thus providing more stable support for the fixing plate 1. A mounting hole 44 is vertically penetrated through the base 43, and there are a plurality of the mounting holes 44. The plurality of mounting holes 44 are spaced apart on the base 43. In the illustrated embodiment, the number of the mounting holes 44 is four, and the four mounting holes 44 are distributed in a rectangle around the center of the base 43. Such a distribution makes the connection between the base 43 and the operation table surface more stable. The mounting hole 44 can be used for passing through fixing elements such as screws or fixing bolts to fix the fixed rod 41 to the operation table surface. The fixed rod 41 is vertically fixed on the operation table surface, and the fixed rod 41 is provided with a chute. The chute is vertically opened and penetrates upward through the fixed rod 41. The outer diameter of the sliding rod 42 matches the inner diameter of the chute. One end of the sliding rod 42 extends into the chute and is slidably connected to the chute, and the other end of the sliding rod 42 is fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the fixing frame 11.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3, the driving mechanism 3 includes a rotating rod 31, a gear 32 and a toothed chain 33. There are two rotating rods 31 arranged in parallel. Each rotating rod 31 is rotatably installed between two opposite side walls of the fixed frame 11. Specifically, the two rotating rods 31 are both arranged along the width direction of the fixed frame 11 and are rotatably connected to the corresponding two side walls of the fixed frame 11. The two rotating rods 31 are respectively located at two ends of the length direction of the slot 13. Threaded sections 311 are provided at both ends of any one of the two rotating rods 31, and the thread directions of the two threaded sections 311 are opposite. The two clamping plates 2 are respectively threadedly connected to the two threaded sections 311. There are two gears 32 corresponding to the two rotating rods 31 one by one. The two gears 32 are respectively installed at the ends of the two rotating rods 31, and the two gears 32 are both coaxially arranged with the corresponding rotating rods 31. The toothed chain 33 is looped around the outer circumferences of the two gears 32 and is meshed and matched with the two gears 32. One end of one of the rotating rods 31 extends along its own length direction to penetrate through the fixed frame 11 and protrude. A disc 34 is provided at the end of the rotating rod 31 protruding from the fixed frame 11. The disc 34 is coaxially arranged with the rotating rod 31, and the diameter of the disc 34 is larger than the diameter of the rotating rod 31. A handle 35 is provided on the side of the disc 34 away from the rotating rod 31. The handle 35 is provided at an eccentric position of the disc 34.

[0028] The working mode of one embodiment of a book clamping structure applicable to a manual gluing device of the present utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to clamp the page 5, the page 5 is vertically placed in the slot 13, and then the user holds the handle 35 to rotate the disc 34. The handle 35 is arranged at an eccentric position, so that it is easier for the user to apply force to the disc 34. The rotation of the disc 34 drives the connected rotating rod 31 to rotate. Since the thread directions of the threaded sections 311 to which the two clamping plates 2 are threadedly connected are opposite, the rotation of the rotating rod 31 will drive the two clamping plates 2 to move in opposite directions, that is, the two clamping plates 2 will move towards or away from each other. When the two clamping plates 2 move towards each other, the page 5 can be clamped. When the two clamping plates 2 move away from each other, the page 5 can be released.

[0029] When the user applies force to the fixed plate 1, the fixed plate 1 can be controlled to move up or down to facilitate the next processing of the page 5 (that is, move down to adhere to the cover. This is the prior art, so it will not be elaborated here). The guide rod assembly 4 can play an auxiliary supporting role for the fixed plate 1 and guide the movement of the fixed plate 1 so that its movement stroke always remains vertical.
