Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of paper processing technology, specifically a paper folding positioning mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of origami or paper processing, the origami positioning mechanism is a key device for precisely controlling the position of the paper and folding it. Traditional origami positioning mechanisms often rely on manual operation, which is inefficient because the position and folding angle of the paper are adjusted manually.
[0003] Existing paper folding positioning mechanisms lack sufficient positioning accuracy, causing paper to easily shift during folding and affecting the folding effect. Furthermore, some mechanisms employ a limited folding method, making it difficult to adapt to different paper sizes and types. They cannot flexibly adjust according to paper specifications, and deviations may occur when positioning the paper. These deviations can lead to inaccurate alignment during folding, affecting the final folding effect. Therefore, frequent equipment changes or parameter adjustments are required during production to accommodate different paper sizes, wasting considerable time and reducing production efficiency. In addition, some mechanisms have high maintenance costs and complex operation, hindering widespread application. Therefore, a new paper folding positioning mechanism is proposed.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-3 A paper-folding positioning mechanism includes a base shell 1 and a synchronization component, the synchronization component being disposed on the side of the base shell 1.
[0028] Positioning shells 8 are provided on both the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the base shell 1. An inner through groove 2 is formed on the opposite side of the two positioning shells 8, which provides a precise and stable positioning space for the paper. Support rods 3 are provided on both the left and right sides of the base shell 1. A folding guide roller 4 is provided on the top of the support rod 3, which is located directly above the positioning shell 8. A pressing plate 5 is provided on the top of the positioning shell 8.
[0029] The synchronization component includes a synchronization guide rail 7, which is located on the back side of the base shell plate 1. Guide rods 14, which are fixed to the support rods 3, are provided on both sides of the synchronization guide rail 7.
[0030] In this embodiment, telescopic shafts are installed on opposite sides of the two sets of support rods 3. A common positioning plate 6 is fixedly installed on the outer end of the telescopic shaft. The positioning plate 6 is collinear with the outer side of the inner through groove 2, so that the positioning plate 6 can be adjusted in position as needed. This design not only improves the flexibility of positioning, but also ensures the precise alignment of the paper during the folding process.
[0031] In this embodiment, a limiting groove 12 is provided on the inner side of the base shell plate 1, which is slidably installed with the inner through groove 2. A positioning slide rail 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the positioning shell plate 8, and a positioning slider 10 is fixedly installed on the back side of the pressing plate 5. The positioning slider 10 is slidably installed on the top of the positioning slide rail 9, together forming a stable sliding system. This design not only enhances the stability of the pressing plate 5, but also makes the pressing process more precise and controllable.
[0032] In this embodiment, a motor coupling 15 is provided on the back side of each of the two folding guide rollers 4. The motor coupling 15 is connected to the motor. The outer surface of the two folding guide rollers 4 is driven by the paper. The opposing folding guide rollers 4 can fold the paper together and guide the paper to fold along a predetermined path. This design makes the folding process smoother and the folding effect more uniform.
[0033] In this embodiment, a reinforcing block 11 is fixedly installed on the outer end of the support rod 3 located on the back side, and a common fixing rod 13 is fixedly installed on the inner side of both sets of support rods 3. The top of the base shell plate 1 is provided with a slot for the support rod 3 to slide, which significantly enhances the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire origami positioning mechanism. This design enables the mechanism to maintain excellent performance even when used for a long time or subjected to greater pressure.
[0034] In this embodiment, guide rods 14 are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the two reinforcing blocks 11. The two guide rods 14 are respectively driven and installed on the inner side of the synchronous guide rail 7. Distance sensors are set at both ends of the synchronous guide rail 7. The synchronous guide rail 7 drives the two support rods 3 to slide relative to each other. This design realizes the relative sliding and synchronous movement of the two support rods 3. At the same time, the distance sensors set at both ends of the synchronous guide rail 7 further ensure the accuracy and stability of the synchronous movement. This synchronization system not only improves the automation of the folding process, but also ensures the uniformity and consistency of the folding effect.
[0035] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0036] Initial positioning and paper import:
[0037] The origami positioning mechanism first positions the paper using the positioning shell plate 8 within the base shell plate 1 and the inner through groove 2 formed between them. The paper is placed in the inner through groove 2 and is constrained by the positioning plate 6, ensuring that it is collinear with the outer edge of the inner through groove 2. At this time, the pressing plate 5 presses the paper down through the sliding engagement of the positioning slide rail 9 and the positioning slider 10, preventing it from moving during the origami process.
[0038] Paper folding process:
[0039] Once the paper is stably positioned and pressed, the motor starts and drives the folding guide roller 4 to rotate through the motor coupling 15. The outer surface of the folding guide roller 4 contacts the paper and guides it to fold along a predetermined path. Since the relative position of the two folding guide rollers 4 can be adjusted, a variety of different folding methods can be achieved to meet different origami needs.
[0040] Synchronous sliding and precise control:
[0041] During the origami process, the synchronization guide rail 7 plays a crucial role. It is connected to the support rod 3 through the guide rod 14, ensuring that the two support rods 3 can slide relative to each other and remain synchronized. The distance sensors at both ends of the synchronization guide rail 7 monitor the distance between the two support rods 3 in real time, ensuring that they always keep in line, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy and stability of the origami process.
[0042] Automated control and efficient production:
[0043] The entire origami positioning mechanism achieves automation and efficiency in the origami process through the automatic control of the motor. After the motor starts, the folding guide roller 4 begins to rotate, and the paper is guided and folded. At the same time, the coordinated use of the synchronous guide rail 7 and the distance sensor ensures the accuracy and stability of the origami process. This automated control method not only improves production efficiency but also reduces the difficulty and error of manual operation.
[0044] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows:
[0045] The inner groove 2 formed by the base shell plate 1 and the positioning shell plate 8 enables high-precision positioning of the paper, ensuring the stability of the paper during the folding process. At the same time, the folding guide roller 4 at the top of the support rod 3 not only guides the paper to fold along a predetermined path, but also achieves a high degree of automation in the folding process through the connection between the motor coupling 15 and the motor.
[0046] The combination of the positioning plate 6 and the telescopic shaft, as well as the sliding of the positioning slider 10 on the positioning slide rail 9, provides a variety of folding methods for paper, meeting different origami needs. The reinforced structure of the reinforcing block 11 and the fixing rod 13 ensures the stability and load-bearing capacity of the mechanism during long-term use.
[0047] The synchronization system of the synchronous guide rail 7 and the guide rod 14, along with the setting of the distance sensor, further improves the accuracy and stability of the origami process. Overall, this origami positioning mechanism, with its high-precision positioning, diverse folding methods, low-cost maintenance, and high degree of automation, brings significant progress and convenience to the origami industry.
