DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0039] The following will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying Figures 1-5 The present application will be further described in detail.
[0040] This application discloses a book closing mechanism and a bag-making machine having the mechanism.
[0041] Reference Figure 1 The book-binding machine includes a frame 2 and a binding mechanism (not shown in the figure), a conveying mechanism 5, and a book-closing mechanism 1, all mounted on the frame 2. The binding mechanism is used to glue the inner pages of the book to the cover, the book-closing mechanism 1 is used to close the glued cover to the hinges, and the conveying mechanism 5 is used to transfer the book into or out of the binding mechanism and the book-closing mechanism 1. It should be noted that since the binding mechanism and the conveying mechanism 5 are both prior art and not improvements of this application, they will not be described in detail.
[0042] Reference Figure 2 The book closing mechanism 1 includes a mounting base 11, a movable frame 12 movably disposed on one side of the mounting base 11, a first movable piece 13 and a second movable piece 14 rotatably disposed on the movable frame 12, and a drive assembly 15 for driving the movable frame 12 to move vertically. A channel 4 for books to fall into is formed between the first movable piece 13 and the second movable piece 14. The conveying mechanism 5 can move directly above the channel 4. The mounting base 11 is fixedly disposed on the frame 2. The first movable piece 13 and the second movable piece 14 are disposed opposite each other on the movable frame 12. A linkage rod 16 is rotatably connected between the first movable piece 13 and the mounting base 11, and between the second movable piece 14 and the mounting base 11. The linkage rod 16 is located on the side of the first movable piece 13 and the second movable piece 14 away from each other.
[0043] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 Guide plates 131 are fixed to the side of the first movable plate 13 and the second movable plate 14 facing the book conveying direction. The distance between the two guide plates 131 gradually decreases along the book conveying direction. The guide plates 131 play a guiding role when the book is conveyed into the horizontal channel 4. Furthermore, two buffer plates 3 are fixedly installed on the movable frame 12. The upper end of the two buffer plates 3 is provided with a buffer arc surface 31. The first movable plate 13 and the second movable plate 14 are provided with clearance holes 132 for the buffer plates 3 to pass through. The buffer arc surface 31 plays a buffering role when the book falls vertically.
[0044] Reference Figure 2The driving assembly 15 comprises a connecting rod 151, a driving motor 152 for controlling rotation of the connecting rod 151, a pry rod 153 fixed to the circumferential side wall of the connecting rod 151, and a driving rod 154 hingedly connected to the end of the pry rod 153 away from the connecting rod 151. The body of the driving motor 152 is fixed to the mounting base 11, and the output shaft is fixedly connected with the connecting rod 151. The driving motor 152 is preferably a servo motor with the output shaft capable of rotating in both directions. The end of the driving rod 154 away from the pry rod 153 is rotatably connected with the movable frame 12. When the book needs to be folded, the driving motor 152 drives the connecting rod 151 to rotate, so that the pry rod 153 swings around the connecting rod 151 as the shaft, and the driving rod 154 is linked and controls the movable frame 12 to move vertically. It should be noted that, in order to control the moving direction of the movable frame 12, a plurality of guide rods are fixed to the movable frame 12, and each guide rod vertically slides through the mounting base 11.
[0045] With reference to Figure 2 , Figure 3 When the movable frame 12 moves upward, the first movable piece 13 and the second movable piece 14 will rotate away from each other due to the linkage rod 16, until the first movable piece 13 and the second movable piece 14 are in a horizontal open state, so as to receive the bound book, and the cover on one side of the inner pages falls on the first movable piece 13, and the cover on the other side of the inner pages falls on the second movable piece 14. When the movable frame 12 moves downward, the first movable piece 13 and the second movable piece 14 will rotate towards each other, and at the same time, the cover of the book will rotate synchronously with the first movable piece 13 and the second movable piece 14 until it is folded.
[0046] With reference to Figure 3 In order to avoid the accumulation of the folded book, a conveying assembly 6 is arranged on the movable frame 12 directly below the channel 4. The conveying assembly 6 comprises two conveying shafts 61 arranged in parallel, a conveying belt 62 with both ends sleeved outside different conveying shafts 61, and a conveying motor 63 for controlling rotation of one of the conveying shafts 61. The conveying motor 63 is fixedly installed on the movable frame 12 and is provided with a belt transmission structure between the conveying motor 63 and one of the conveying shafts 61. The torsion of the output shaft of the conveying motor 63 can be transmitted to the conveying shaft 61 through the belt transmission structure, so that the conveying belt 62 can convey the folded book out.
[0047] With reference to Figure 4 In order to reduce the impact of the book falling on the conveying belt 62, an extension plate 7 is fixed to the movable frame 12. The extension plate 7 is located on the side of the channel 4 close to the direction of the book transmission, and the extension plate 7 can increase the stress area of the movable frame 12.
[0048] With reference to Figure 4 and Figure 5To enable the book-closing mechanism 1 to close books of varying thicknesses, the distance between the first movable piece 13 and the second movable piece 14 needs to be adjusted. Specifically, a base frame 8 is slidably mounted on the mounting base 11, and a linkage rod 16 on the second movable piece 14 is hinged to the base frame 8. The mounting base 11 is equipped with an adjustment assembly 9 for controlling the horizontal movement of the base frame 8 towards or away from the first movable piece 13. The adjustment assembly 9 includes a lead screw 91 and an adjustment motor 92 for controlling the rotation of the lead screw 91. The motor 92 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 11, and its output shaft is connected to the lead screw 91 via a belt drive structure. The axial direction of the lead screw 91 is parallel to the distribution direction of the first movable piece 13 and the second movable piece 14. The base frame 8 is threaded onto the lead screw 91. When the adjustment motor 92 operates, the lead screw 91 rotates relative to the mounting base 11, causing the base frame 8 to move along the axial direction of the lead screw 91, thereby moving the end of the linkage rod 16 connected to the base frame 8.
[0049] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 A sliding frame 121 is slidably mounted on the movable frame 12. A second movable piece 14 is rotatably connected to the sliding frame 121, and a buffer plate 3 passing through the second movable piece 14 is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 121. The movable frame 12 is equipped with a movable component 10 for controlling the horizontal movement of the sliding frame 121 towards or away from the first movable piece 13. The movable component 10 includes a screw 101 and a movable motor 102 for controlling the rotation of the screw 101. The body of the movable motor 102 is fixedly mounted on the movable frame 12, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to the screw 101. The sliding frame 121 is threadedly connected to the screw 101. When the screw 101 rotates, the sliding frame 121, the second movable piece 14, and the corresponding buffer plate 3 can move along the axial direction of the screw 101, thereby changing the distance between the second movable piece 14 and the first movable piece 13.
[0050] The implementation principle of a book closing mechanism 1 and a binding machine having the mechanism in this application embodiment is as follows: After the book is bound, the conveying mechanism 5 will convey the book to the top of the book closing mechanism 1. When the movable frame 12 is moved upward by the drive component 15, the first movable piece 13 and the second movable piece 14 will rotate and open to the side away from each other. After the conveying mechanism 5 releases the book, the cover on one side of the inner pages will fall on the first movable piece 13, and the cover on the other side of the inner pages will fall on the second movable piece 14. Then, the movable frame 12 is moved downward by the drive component 15. At this time, the first movable piece 13 and the second movable piece 14 will rotate and close to the side closer to each other, so that the cover closes to the inner pages. Finally, the book is conveyed out by the conveyor belt 62.
[0051] In addition, in actual application, the movement of the base frame 8 can be controlled by adjusting the adjusting assembly 9, and the movement of the sliding frame 121 can be controlled by the moving assembly 10, so as to change the distance between the first moving piece 13 and the second moving piece 14, thereby adapting to the processing of books with different thicknesses.
[0052] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the protection scope of the present application, so: any equivalent changes made on the basis of the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
