Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of three-dimensional books, in particular to a page turning mechanism for three-dimensional books. Background Art

[0002] Pop-up books, a unique book format, combine the appeal of flat-screen reading with the appeal of three-dimensional presentation. Originating in 13th-century Europe, their initial form was relatively simple. With advancements in printing technology, papermaking, and design, their sophistication and refinement have steadily increased. Today, pop-up books encompass a wide range of fields, including children's books, art collections, and science education, and their market size continues to expand annually. For example, in the children's book market, pop-up books, with their intuitive visuals and interactivity, are highly sought after by children and parents alike. Some popular pop-up books boast annual sales of hundreds of thousands of copies.

[0003] Traditional pop-up books rely on readers to manually turn the pages. For children, the elderly or readers with poor hand dexterity, it is difficult to turn the pages accurately due to insufficient hand strength and coordination, which may cause damage to the pages or deformation of the three-dimensional structure. Manual page turning may also introduce stains, fingerprints, etc. due to improper operation, affecting the appearance and preservation of the pop-up book; long-term and frequent manual page turning will also accelerate the wear of the pages and shorten the service life of the pop-up book. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a page turning mechanism for a three-dimensional book, which has the advantage of automatic page turning and solves the problem that it is difficult for children and the elderly to turn the pages manually in current three-dimensional books.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a page-turning mechanism for a three-dimensional book, comprising a page-turning assembly, the page-turning assembly comprising a cylinder, a fitting mechanism connected to the bottom end of the outer edge of the cylinder, a plurality of book pages installed in the fitting mechanism, one end of each of the book pages being rotatably connected to the page-turning assembly, and the other end being detachably connected to the fitting mechanism, a circular shaft being provided inside the cylinder, the fitting mechanism comprising a side panel, a plurality of fixing mechanisms adapted to the corresponding book pages being provided in the side panel, a bottom plate fixed to the outer edge of the cylinder being installed at the bottom end of one side of the side panel, and a plurality of deep grooves being provided on the side of the side panel facing the page-turning assembly.

[0006] Preferably, each of the book pages includes a page plate, and two rings are symmetrically provided at one end of the page plate facing the page turning assembly. One of the two rings is rotatably connected to the cylinder, and a coil spring is provided inside the other ring.

[0007] Preferably, one end of the coil spring is fixedly connected to the inner edge surface of the ring, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer edge surface of the cylinder, and a reinforcing plate is provided inside the page plate, one end of the reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the outer edge surface of the ring with the coil spring provided inside, and the other end extends out of the side of the page plate and embedded in the deep groove.

[0008] Preferably, each of the fixing mechanisms includes a limiting plate sliding in the side plate, a first arc surface is provided on the side of the limiting plate facing the page turning assembly, and the bottom end of the limiting plate is in contact with the top end of the reinforcing plate.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the limiting plate away from the page turning assembly is symmetrically structured with two convex plates, and the side of the limiting plate where the convex plate is provided is symmetrically provided with two straight springs.

[0010] Preferably, a second arc surface is provided in the middle of the top of the limiting plate, the outer edge of the second arc surface abuts against the plugging plate, the bottom end of the plugging plate is set to be an arc surface, the top end extends out of the upper end surface of the side plate, and a pressing plate is installed on the top of the plugging plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0012] 1. The present invention is provided with a page-turning assembly, a fitting mechanism, book pages and a fixing mechanism. A plurality of book pages rotate around the page-turning assembly, and the book pages are fixed by the fixing mechanism on the fitting mechanism. When the fixing mechanism is pressed to release the book pages, the spiral spring in the ring drives the ring to rotate around the circular axis, thereby driving the book pages to rotate, thereby completing automatic page turning. The automatic page turning method replaces manual page turning, reduces the wear of the book pages, and increases the service life of the three-dimensional book.

[0013] 2. The utility model is provided with a limit plate, a first curved surface, a second curved surface, a convex plate, a straight spring, an inserting plate and a pressing plate. The reinforcing plate abuts against the first curved surface to drive the limit plate to squeeze the straight spring. When the reinforcing plate is placed under the limit plate, the straight spring pushes the limit plate to return to its original position to limit and fix the reinforcing plate. When turning the pages of the book, the pressing plate is pressed, and the pressing plate drives the inserting plate to descend. The inserting plate squeezes the second curved surface to drive the limit plate to move toward the straight spring, releasing the fixation of the page to the limit plate. The spiral spring drives the circular ring and the page plate to rotate, thereby completing automatic page turning, which is convenient for quick page turning and fixing.
