Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] A self-service printing and binding machine with error prevention function includes a main body 1. The main body 1 contains a printing device 3 and a binding device 4. An error prevention mechanism 2 is installed between the printing device 3 and the binding device 4 to prevent printing errors, missing page numbers, and blank pages. The error prevention mechanism 2 includes:

[0028] The frame unit 21 is located inside the machine body 1 and is used to convey paper;

[0029] Friction unit 22 is located inside frame unit 21 and includes rotating rod 221. A connecting frame 222 is fixedly installed on the surface of rotating rod 221. A rubber column 223 is fixedly installed inside the connecting frame 222. The rubber column 223 contacts the paper surface inside frame unit 21, and the rubber column 223 is rubbed against the paper by conveying unit 24 to detect whether the paper is a single sheet or a double sheet.

[0030] The vision unit 23 is located inside the frame unit 21 and is used to scan the paper to detect whether the printed paper has complete text.

[0031] Separation unit 25 is disposed inside frame unit 21 and is used to separate erroneous and blank papers.

[0032] In this embodiment, the frame unit 21 includes a placement frame 211 fixedly installed inside the body 1. A set of baffles 212 are fixedly installed inside the placement frame 211, and a placement box 213 is fixedly installed at one end of the placement frame 211.

[0033] When the transfer plate 251 is combined with the placement box 213, blank and incomplete paper is moved into the placement box 213 for storage.

[0034] In this embodiment, the rotating rod 221 is rotatably installed inside the placement frame 211. One end of the rotating rod 221 passes through the placement frame 211 and is fixedly installed with a first gear 224. A first fixing plate 225 is fixedly installed on one side of the placement frame 211, and a first cylinder 226 is fixedly installed on one side of the first fixing plate 225. A first rack 227 is fixedly installed on one end of the first cylinder 226. A first limiting rod 228 is fixedly installed on one side of the placement frame 211. A first limiting groove 229 is opened inside the first rack 227, and one end of the first limiting rod 228 slides inside the first limiting groove 229.

[0035] The first cylinder 226, model DSNU-20-50-PPV-A, is electrically connected to an external power source and is operated by a human-controlled control panel. The operation of the first cylinder 226 pulls the first rack 227, which drives the first gear 224 to rotate. The first gear 224 drives the rotating rod 221 to rotate, and the rotating rod 221 drives the connecting frame 222 and the rubber column 223 to rotate synchronously. The rubber column 223 comes into contact with the paper, and the conveying unit 24 moves the paper. The conveying unit 24 and the rubber column 223 achieve reverse friction between the upper and lower surfaces of the paper to detect whether the paper is a single sheet or a double sheet.

[0036] In this embodiment, the vision unit 23 includes a fixing rod 231 fixedly installed inside the placement frame 211, and an image sensor 232 is fixedly installed on the surface of the fixing rod 231.

[0037] The image sensor 232 is model In-Sight2000. It scans the paper to detect whether the text on the paper is complete, thereby avoiding printing errors, missing page numbers, and blank sheets caused by improper user operation or equipment limitations.

[0038] In this embodiment, the conveying unit 24 includes a driven rod 241 and a driving rod 243 inside the rotating mounting frame 211. A driven wheel 242 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the driven rod 241, and a driving wheel 244 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the driving rod 243. A conveyor belt 245 is sleeved on the surfaces of the driving wheel 244 and the driven wheel 242. A motor 246 is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting frame 211, and the output end of the motor 246 passes through the mounting frame 211 and is fixedly connected to the driving rod 243.

[0039] Motor 246 is a three-phase asynchronous motor with a self-locking function. It is electrically connected to an external power supply and can be opened and closed by a human control panel. The paper printed by the printing device 3 enters the interior of the placement rack 211 through the inclined surface of the protruding plate on top of the placement rack 211. The operation of motor 246 drives the drive rod 243 to rotate, the drive rod 243 drives the drive wheel 244 to rotate, the drive wheel 244 drives the conveyor belt 245 to rotate, and the conveyor belt 245 moves the paper.

[0040] In this embodiment, the separation unit 25 includes a rotating plate 251 inside the rotating mounting frame 211. One end of the rotating shaft inside the rotating plate 251 passes through the mounting frame 211 and is fixedly mounted with a second gear 252. A second fixed plate 253 is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting frame 211. A second cylinder 254 is fixedly mounted on one side of the second fixed plate 253. A second rack 255 is fixedly mounted on one end of the second cylinder 254. A second limiting groove 256 is opened inside the second rack 255. A second limiting rod 257 is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting frame 211. One end of the second limiting rod 257 is located inside the second limiting groove 256 and is adapted to slide.

[0041] The second cylinder 254, model DSNU-20-50-PPV-A, is electrically connected to an external power source and is operated by a human-controlled control panel. The operation of the second cylinder 254 drives the second rack 255 to move, which in turn drives the second gear 252 to rotate. The second gear 252 then drives the rotating plate 251 to rotate, thus allowing the rotating plate 251 to merge or separate from the placement box 213. When merged with the placement box 213, blank and incomplete paper is moved into the placement box 213. When separated from the placement box 213, the fully printed paper enters the binding device 4 for binding, thereby separating the blank and incomplete paper from the fully printed paper.

[0042] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0043] During operation, the paper printed by the printing device 3 first enters the interior of the placement rack 211 through the inclined surface of the protruding plate on the top of the placement rack 211. The motor 246 runs and drives the drive rod 243 to rotate. The drive rod 243 drives the drive wheel 244 to rotate. The drive wheel 244 drives the conveyor belt 245 to rotate. The conveyor belt 245 moves the paper.

[0044] Next, the first cylinder 226 pulls the first rack 227, which drives the first gear 224 to rotate. The first gear 224 drives the rotating rod 221 to rotate, and the rotating rod 221 drives the connecting frame 222 and the rubber column 223 to rotate synchronously. The rubber column 223 contacts the paper, and the conveying unit 24 drives the paper to move. The conveying unit 24 and the rubber column 223 achieve reverse friction between the upper and lower surfaces of the paper to detect whether the paper is a single page or a double page. The image sensor 232 scans the paper to detect whether the writing on the paper is complete.

[0045] Then, the second cylinder 254 operates, driving the second rack 255 to move. The second rack 255 drives the second gear 252 to rotate, and the second gear 252 drives the rotating plate 251 to rotate, so that the rotating plate 251 can be merged or separated from the placement box 213. When merged with the placement box 213, blank and incomplete paper is moved into the placement box 213. When separated from the placement box 213, the fully printed paper enters the binding device 4 for binding.
