Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing material folding and stacking technology, specifically to an automatic printing material folding and stacking device. Background Technology

[0002] The storage and protection of printed materials during production, processing, and post-processing. In the printing industry, printed materials undergo multiple stages of processing and transportation throughout the entire process from design, plate making, printing to finished product output. How to effectively protect printed materials from damage and ensure their quality and integrity has always been a key concern both inside and outside the industry.

[0003] However, in practical applications, on the one hand, stacking printed materials can easily lead to friction and squeezing between them, causing scratches, creases, or even damage to the surface, affecting the overall aesthetics and quality of the printed materials. On the other hand, although simple boxed storage can reduce direct contact between printed materials to some extent, it often lacks effective fixing and protection measures, and the printed materials may still be damaged due to shaking or collision during transportation and handling. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, an automatic stacking device for printed materials is provided. This technical solution addresses the issues raised in the background art, namely, that stacking printed materials can easily lead to mutual friction and squeezing between them, causing surface scratches, creases, or even damage, affecting the overall aesthetics and quality of the printed materials; and that while simple boxed storage can reduce direct contact between printed materials to some extent, it often lacks effective fixing and protection measures, and the printed materials may still be damaged due to shaking or collision during transportation and handling.

[0024] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an automatic folding device for printed materials includes a conveyor frame 1. Three sets of conveyor belts 101 are arranged in the middle of the conveyor frame 1. A drive motor 102 for driving the conveyor belts 101 to rotate is fixedly installed on the front side of the conveyor frame 1. Cylinders 2 are fixedly installed on opposite sides on the left side of the conveyor frame 1. Movable blocks 201 are fixedly connected to the output ends of the cylinders 2. A placement box 3 for placing printed materials is provided on the top of the conveyor belts 101. A storage frame 4 for storing the placement box 3 is provided on the top of the conveyor frame 1. When printed materials need to be folded and stored effectively, they are first placed inside the placement box 3. Since the inside of the placement box 3 is lined with a soft cotton layer, the placement box 3 can effectively prevent the printed materials from being damaged by collisions with the placement box 3. Then, the drive motor 102 is turned on, and the drive motor 102 drives the conveyor belt 101 to transport the placement box 3 to the bottom of the storage frame 4. Then, the cylinders 2 on both sides are turned on, and the cylinders 2 drive the movable block 201 to rise, thereby pushing the placement box 3 and the printed materials inside into the storage frame 4, thus stably proceeding to the next process.

[0026] The storage frame 4 is equipped with a folding mechanism 5 for fixing the box 3 inside. The folding mechanism 5 includes a fixed column 501 linearly fixedly connected to both sides inside the storage frame 4. Rotating parts 502 are rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the outer periphery of the fixed column 501. The top of the rotating part 502 is provided with a slot 5021. The opposite inner sides of the storage frame 4 are fixedly connected to a first fixed plate 503. The top of the first fixed plate 503 is fixedly connected to a telescopic rod 504 and a spring 505. The spring 505 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the telescopic rod 504. The ends of the spring 505 and the telescopic rod 504 away from the first fixed plate 503 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating part 502. The opposite inner sides of the storage frame 4 are also fixedly connected to a second fixed plate 506. The outer surface of the second fixed plate 506 is fixedly connected to a locking block 507. The locking block 507 is adapted to the size of the slot 5021. The top of the box 3 is fixedly connected to a frame 301. The bottom two sides of the storage frame 4 are equipped with wheels 401. When the placement box 3 is moved to the bottom of the storage frame 4 by the conveyor belt 101 and is gently lifted by the movable blocks 201 on both sides, the top edge 301 of the placement box 3 will first contact the rotating part 502. As the movable blocks 201 continue to lift, the spring 505 on the other side of the rotating part 502 will be gradually compressed, and the telescopic rod 504 will also retract accordingly, causing the rotating part 502 on the side closer to the placement box 3 to tilt upward. When the top edge 301 of the placement box 3 is completely at the top of the rotating part 502, the cylinder 2 will drive the movable part 502 to tilt upward. The moving block 201 slowly descends. Under the combined action of the gravity of the placement box 3 and the elastic force of the spring 505, the placement box 3 will drive its top frame 301 to descend together until the slot 5021 on the top of the rotating part 502 is tightly engaged with the locking block 507. Thus, the placement box 3 can be placed stably and firmly inside the storage frame 4. Similarly, multiple placement boxes 3 can be folded inside the storage frame 4. When the internal space of the storage frame 4 is fully used, the printed materials inside the folded placement box 3 can be pushed to the designated workshop by the wheels 401.

[0027] The working principle and usage process of this device are as follows: When printed materials need to be folded and stored effectively, the printed materials are first placed inside the placement box 3. Since the inside of the placement box 3 is lined with a soft cotton layer, the placement box 3 can effectively prevent the printed materials from being damaged by collisions with the placement box 3. Then, the drive motor 102 is turned on, and the drive motor 102 drives the conveyor belt 101 to transport the placement box 3 to the bottom of the storage frame 4. Then, the cylinders 2 on both sides are turned on, and the cylinders 2 drive the movable block 201 to rise, thereby pushing the placement box 3 and the printed materials inside into the storage frame 4, thus stably proceeding to the next process.

[0028] When the placement box 3 is moved to the bottom of the storage frame 4 by the conveyor belt 101 and is gently lifted by the movable blocks 201 on both sides, the top edge 301 of the placement box 3 will first contact the rotating part 502. As the movable blocks 201 continue to lift, the spring 505 on the other side of the rotating part 502 will be gradually compressed, and the telescopic rod 504 will also retract accordingly, causing the rotating part 502 on the side closer to the placement box 3 to tilt upward. When the top edge 301 of the placement box 3 is completely at the top of the rotating part 502, the cylinder 2 will drive the movable part 502 to tilt upward. The moving block 201 slowly descends. Under the combined action of the gravity of the placement box 3 and the elastic force of the spring 505, the placement box 3 will drive its top frame 301 to descend together until the slot 5021 on the top of the rotating part 502 is tightly engaged with the locking block 507. Thus, the placement box 3 can be placed stably and firmly inside the storage frame 4. Similarly, multiple placement boxes 3 can be folded inside the storage frame 4. When the internal space of the storage frame 4 is fully used, the printed materials inside the folded placement box 3 can be pushed to the designated workshop by the wheels 401.
