Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing folding equipment technology, specifically a double triangular plate folding mechanism for an inkjet rotary printing press. Background Technology
[0002] Folding machines are an important component of roll-to-roll offset printing presses and represent the final crucial step in printing production. When folding the printing tape, the triangular plate serves to perform longitudinal folding or guide the paper when the two halves of the tape are joined together after being cut. In most folding machines, the triangular plate is fixed to the frame, with its center line aligning with the center line of the paper tape to achieve the fold. Typically, only one fixed triangular plate is used for one longitudinal fold. Because the folding position is fixed, a second longitudinal fold requires a cutter or similar method. However, the mechanical movement of the cutter is limited in speed, resulting in low efficiency, complex structure, high cost, and the inability to promptly remove air from the paper after the first longitudinal fold, affecting the overall folding effect.

[0021] Working principle:
[0022] Paper is fed onto large triangle plate 4 via paper feed roller 3. The paper undergoes its first longitudinal folding operation via large triangle plate 4. After the first longitudinal fold, the paper is fed onto power pulley roller 8 via traction roller 1 5. The paper on power pulley roller 8 undergoes its second longitudinal folding operation via small triangle plate 10. After the second longitudinal fold, the paper is fed onto cutting unit via traction roller 2 11. The paper is cut by cutting roller 12 and rubber strip roller 13. The cutting circumference of the paper can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation speed of cutting roller 12 and rubber strip roller 13. The cut paper forms book stickers and is sent to book sticker collection roller 15 via book sticker conveyor belt 14 to complete the book sticker collection operation.
[0023] When the paper after a longitudinal fold passes through the power pulley roller 8, the cylinder 94 retracts and pulls the cam 93 to drive the rotating shaft 91 to rotate. The rotating shaft 91 drives the bushing 921 and the support plate 922 to rotate in the direction of the power pulley roller 8. The upper limit block 923 and the lower limit block 924 on the support plate 922 drive the support plate 926 and the bushing 925 to rotate together with the bushing 921, so that the pressure roller 927 presses the paper on the power pulley roller 8 to release air from the paper after a longitudinal fold. The spring 929 makes the pressure roller 927 elastically press the paper, which has a good air release effect and little damage to the paper. The elastic pressing force of the pressure roller 927 on the paper can be adjusted by turning the stepped screw 928.
[0024] Furthermore, an adjusting screw 9210 is threaded onto the lower limit block 924, with the end of the adjusting screw 9210 passing through the lower limit block 924 and facing the support plate 926. The upper surface of the support plate 926 has a receiving groove 9261 for accommodating the spring 929. The suspension angle of the support plate 926 can be adjusted by turning the adjusting screw 9210, making the adjustment more flexible and convenient, and allowing the paper pressing and exhaust wheel mechanism 9 to be suitable for pressing and venting paper of different thicknesses.
[0025] The double-triangle folding mechanism of the inkjet rotary printing press disclosed in this embodiment completes two longitudinal folds of the paper through the large triangle 4 and the small triangle 10. Then, the paper is cut into bookmarks by the cutter roller 12 and the rubber strip roller 13. This allows one machine to complete two longitudinal folds of the paper. The paper folding into bookmarks process is simple and smooth, with high bookmark processing efficiency. It also has a simple structure, low cost, and stable and reliable operation. The paper pressure exhaust roller mechanism 9 promptly exhausts the paper after one longitudinal fold, resulting in good paper exhaust effect, improving the quality and effect of longitudinal folding, and minimizing the pressure damage to the paper.
