[0029] Embodiment 1:

[0030] Figures 1-7This invention provides a paper gap adjustment mechanism for a folding machine. The paper gap adjustment mechanism is installed inside a grid-type folding machine. The grid-type folding machine includes a side plate 1 and a pressure roller 2. The side plate 1 is provided with an adjustment through hole 11, which allows the pressure roller to swing. The pressure roller 2 includes a rotating end 21 that passes through the adjustment through hole 11. The side plate 1 is used to install other components of the folding machine. The pressure roller 2 is used to construct the travel path for the paper during folding.

[0031] An adjustment mechanism is provided on the side plate 1 of the folding machine. The adjustment mechanism includes a cardboard 3, a linkage 4, and a movable rod 5. The cardboard 3 is fixed to the side of the folding machine side plate 1 facing away from the pressure roller 2. The linkage 4 includes a rotating end 42, a trigger end 41, and a follower end 43. The rotating end 42 is rotatably connected to the folding machine side plate 1, and the follower end 43 is rotatably connected to the rotating end 21. One end of the movable rod 5 is connected to the trigger end 41, and the other end passes through the cardboard 3 and is provided with a first pressure block 51. A paper gap is formed between the first pressure block 51 and the cardboard 3. A certain amount of paper can be stuffed into the paper gap. When more paper is stuffed into the paper gap, the first pressure block 51 moves along with the entire movable rod 5. The other end of the movable rod 5 pulls the trigger end 41 of the linkage 4, causing the linkage 4 to rotate around the rotating end 42. The follower end 43 rotates accordingly, which can drive the pressure roller 2 to swing and adjust its position, changing the paper thickness limit value when the folding machine stacks paper.

[0032] The connection structure between the movable rod 5 and the trigger end 41 is as follows: the side of the trigger end 41 facing away from the cardboard 3 has a recess 411. The end of the movable rod 5 away from the cardboard 3 passes through the trigger end 41 and has a second pressure block 52. A semi-circular part 412 is fitted on the movable rod 5. The semi-circular part 412 is located between the second pressure block 52 and the recess 411. The semi-circular part 412 and the recess 411 cooperate with each other through the arc surface. Both the trigger end 41 and the recess 411 have an oblong hole 413 for the movable rod 5 to pass through. The movable rod 5 only moves axially, while the linkage 4 rotates around the rotating end 42. If the axial hole fit between the movable rod 5 and the trigger end 41 is set too tightly, mechanical interference is likely to occur. The oblong hole 413 on the trigger end 41 and the recess 411 allows the movable rod 5 to swing, and the oblong hole 413 can also limit the swing range of the movable rod 5. This solves the mechanical interference problem and also limits the stroke of the movable rod 5.

[0033] The side plate 1 of the folding machine has a hollow fixing box 6 on the side facing the movable rod 5. The middle of the movable rod 5 passes through the fixing box 6. The fixing box 6 has through holes at both ends for the movable rod 5 to pass through. The through holes cooperate with the movable rod 5 to ensure that the movable rod 5 can only slide along the axial direction. The side of the cardboard 3 facing away from the first pressure block 51 is pressed against the fixing box 6. The fixing box 6 is fixedly connected to the side plate 1 of the folding machine, indirectly fixing the position of the cardboard 3.

[0034] The middle part of the movable rod 5 is provided with a clamping block 53, and a reset spring 55 is arranged between the clamping block 53 and the card paper plate 3. The reset spring 55 is arranged in the fixed box 6 and is used to press the clamping block 53, so that the clamping block 53 and the movable block are quickly reset. The reset action refers to the relative position of the movable rod 5 and the clamping block 53 and the fixed box 6. A main spring 54 is arranged between the clamping block 53 and the trigger end 41 and is used to press the trigger end 41, so that the trigger end 41 quickly returns to the specified position when it is not affected by the movable rod 5. The reset spring 55 and the main spring 54 ensure that when the paper between the first pressing block 51 and the card paper plate 3 is taken out, the parts in the adjusting mechanism can quickly return to the original position. The main spring 54 is provided with a baffle 56 on both sides, which can avoid the axial movement of the main spring 54 into the fixed box 6 or the waist round hole 413 of the trigger end 41.

[0035] The card paper plate 3 is provided with a 30° folding edge 31 extending towards the fixed box 6 on both sides. The end of the folding edge 31 is rounded. The folding edge 31 is used to prevent the paper from falling off due to misalignment and is also used for positioning the paper.

[0036] The fence type paper folding machine has two paper folding machine side plates 1 and three paper pressing rollers 2. In this embodiment, six adjusting mechanisms are arranged correspondingly and are arranged on the two paper folding machine side plates 1. The adjusting mechanisms are arranged in pairs and are connected to the two ends of the paper pressing roller 2.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] When the operator inserts the paper to be folded into the gap between the first pressing block 51 and the card paper plate 3, the stacking amount of the paper pushes the first pressing block 51 to displace outward, driving the movable rod 5 to slide axially. The axial movement of the movable rod 5 drives the trigger end 41 to rotate around the rotating end 42 of the connecting piece 4 through the cooperation of the second pressing block 52 and the arc surface of the semicircular piece 412. At this time, the waist round hole 413 of the trigger end 41 allows the movable rod 5 to deflect slightly within the swing range to avoid mechanical interference. The rotating movement of the connecting piece 4 is transmitted to the rotating end 21 of the paper pressing roller 2 through the following end 43, forcing the paper pressing roller 2 to swing, thereby changing the relative position of the paper pressing roller 2 and the adjacent components, reducing / increasing the paper passage width to adapt to the increased paper thickness. At the same time, the main spring 54 and the reset spring 55 are compressed, and the baffle 56 on both sides of the main spring 54 limits its axial offset, ensuring the stability of the force transmission direction; when the paper is taken out, the reset spring 55 pushes the reverse movement, driving the movable rod 5 to reset, and the main spring 54 synchronously rebounds to drive the connecting piece 4 to rotate and reset, so that the paper pressing roller 2 returns to the initial position. The six adjusting mechanisms at the two ends of the three paper pressing rollers 2 realize synchronous adjustment of multiple rollers through symmetrical layout, ensuring the consistency of the gap between the folds. The whole process forms a closed loop control of “paper input-mechanical feedback-pressing roller adjustment-paper taking out-elastic reset”, realizing the self-adaptive and accurate adjustment of the paper folding thickness.

[0039] The above only describes optional embodiments of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent structural transformation made by using the content of the present application specification and drawings, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
