[0018] In order to make the technical means, creative features, purposes and effects realized by the utility model easy to understand, the utility model will be further described in detail in combination with the drawings. These drawings are all simplified schematic diagrams, and only illustrate the basic structure of the utility model in a schematic manner, so they only show the relevant structure of the utility model.

[0019] Based on the technical solution of this utility model, without changing the essential spirit of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementation methods. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model, and should not be regarded as the entirety of this utility model or as a limitation or restriction of the technical solution of this utility model.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a hard-edged groove shaping mechanism for hardcover books includes a base plate 1 and a backing plate 2 perpendicularly connected to the base plate 1. There are two ways to implement it:

[0022] Method 1: Fix the backing plate 2 to the rear end of the base plate 1 with screws, forming an L-shaped structure with the base plate 1 and the backing plate 2. This method only allows the rod groove 3 to be installed on the inner side of the backing plate 2 to complete the shaping of the hard edge groove for hardcover books.

[0023] Method 2: Fix the backing plate 2 to the middle of the base plate 1, forming an inverted T-shaped structure with the base plate 1 and the backing plate 2. This method allows for the installation of rod grooves 3 on both sides of the backing plate 2 to complete the shaping of the hard edge grooves for hardcover books. Compared to installing it on only one side, this method can produce more books with hard edge grooves.

[0024] Vertical rod slots 3 are installed on both sides of the outer surface of the backing plate 2. A sliding rod cavity is provided inside the rod slot 3. A pressure rod 4 is installed inside the sliding rod cavity according to the bound hardcover book. The pressure rod 4 is spaced out on the hardcover book. The grooves on both sides of the hard edge sealing position on the back are pressed out by the pressure rod 4.

[0025] In practice, each time a hardcover book requiring grooves is placed on the base plate 1, with the back of the book pressed against the outer surface of the back plate 2, the pressure rod 4 is inserted through the sliding rod cavity and pressed against the top of the hard cover on the back of the book. Then another hardcover book is placed in, and this process is continued to press many books stacked together at once. The weight of the books themselves, along with the weight placed on top to press out the grooves, helps to shape the grooves, especially on the bottom books where the grooves are best formed.

[0026] For easier placement of pressure bar 4, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3The rod placement groove 3 is a hollow square strip structure, with the sliding rod cavity located inside the rod placement groove 3. To further stabilize the position of the rod placement groove 3 and ensure it is stably fixed to both sides of the backing plate 2, a fixing member 32, which is L-shaped, is provided on the outer side of the rod placement groove 3 to be fixed to the backing plate 2. The fixing member 32 includes an angle steel piece 35, which is fixed to the backing plate 2 by screws.

[0027] In implementation, when using the inverted T-groove shaping mechanism of method two, the two angle steel plates 35 can also be fixed together with bolts, and the backing plate 2 can be pressed tightly at the same time to form a mutual restraint effect, thereby achieving a stable fixing effect. As a preferred solution, in implementation, the top inner side of the rod release groove 3 is provided with a clearance opening 31 to facilitate the pressure rod 4 to enter the sliding rod cavity through the clearance opening 31.

[0028] The rod placement groove 3 includes a shaping component 33 and a support component 34. The support component 34 has an L-shaped strip structure and is fixed to the outer surface of the backing plate 2. The shaping component 33 has a U-shaped structure and is fixedly connected to one side of the support component 34 by screws, with a reserved sliding rod cavity located on the side of the shaping component 33 that is not connected to the support component 34. (See also...) Figure 4 The top of the shaping part 33 is provided with a guide bevel 36, which faces the slide rod cavity. When the pressure rod 4 is placed into the rod placement groove 3, it is pushed into the guide bevel 36 through the clearance groove 31 and then automatically slides into the slide rod cavity due to gravity.

[0029] To facilitate movement, a lifting hole 21 is provided on the top of the backing plate 2. There is at least one lifting hole 21, and it is an oblong structure. The mechanism can be lifted through the lifting hole 21 and placed in any idle space in the bookbinding workshop to avoid obstructing other processes and to ensure high mobility.

[0030] It is important to note that, for ease of installation and manufacturing, both the base plate 1 and the backing plate 2 are made of wood. The length of the pressure rod 4 should be slightly less than the distance between the rod slots 3 on both sides of the backing plate 2. When shaping a small batch of hardcover books using the groove design, first place one pressure rod 4 at the bottom of the mechanism, then place one book, then another pressure rod 4, then another book, and so on, so that the pressure rods 4 separate each hardcover book. Finally, place a heavy object on top of the stacked books for pressure. After 5 hours, the groove design is complete, and then the books can be removed.

[0031] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
