Preferred embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.

[0029] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly attached to the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The spine punching device according to one embodiment of the present utility model includes a frame 10, a clamping assembly 20 installed in the middle of the frame 10, a punching assembly 30 installed on one side of the clamping assembly 20, and a moving assembly 40 installed at one end of the clamping assembly 20.

[0032] The frame 10 has a first through hole 11 and a second through hole 12 arranged at intervals in the middle, and the first through hole 11 and the second through hole 12 are used for the clamping assembly 20 to pass through.

[0033] The clamping assembly 20 includes a movable plate 21 slidably mounted on the top surface of the frame 10, a clamping seat 22 mounted on the top surface of the movable plate 21, a rotatable synchronous rod 23 mounted on one side of the movable plate 21, grippers 24 connected to opposite ends of the synchronous rod 23, a swing rod 25 fixedly connected to the middle of the synchronous rod 23, a transition plate 26 mounted on the side of the movable plate 21 away from the synchronous rod 23, a clamping cylinder 27 mounted on the transition plate 26, and a pressing cylinder 28 mounted at one end of the clamping seat 22. The side of the clamping seat 22 facing the grippers 24 is used to place the book spine, and one end of the clamping seat 22 is provided with an oval-shaped positioning hole 221 for positioning and drilling. In this embodiment, the length direction of the positioning hole 221 is consistent with the length direction of the movable plate 21.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the movable plate 21 is located between the first through hole 11 and the second through hole 12. The swing rod 25 passes through the first through hole 11, the adapter plate 26 passes through the second through hole 12, and the clamping cylinder 27 is located on the bottom surface of the frame 10. The telescopic rod of the clamping cylinder 27 is hinged to the swing rod 25 to drive the swing rod 25 to swing, thereby driving the gripper 24 to approach the clamping seat 22 to abut against the spine of the book located on the clamping seat 22, thereby achieving the clamping and fixing of the spine. Compared with the traditional manual handling, the spine punching device of this utility model uses the gripper 24 to abut and fix, which improves the stability of clamping, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and effectively ensures the positional accuracy of punching.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the end of the clamping base 22 away from the clamping cylinder 28 is connected to a limiting part 222, which is used to abut the end of the spine. In actual use, the book is held vertically by a robotic arm, that is, the plane of the book is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. When the robotic arm places the spine on the clamping base 22, the clamping cylinder 28 extends to abut one end of the spine, ensuring that the punching position of the spine of each book is consistent, and also ensuring the stability of the clamping, reducing the labor intensity of the workers, and effectively ensuring the positional accuracy of the punching.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the movable plate 21 is connected to the frame 10 via a guide rail pair 29, the length direction of which is consistent with the length direction of the movable plate 21. Specifically, the guide rail pair 29 includes a guide rail 291 mounted on the top surface of the frame 10 and a plurality of sliders 292 mounted on the bottom surface of the movable plate 21; the sliders 292 are matched and connected to the guide rail 291 to realize the sliding connection between the movable plate 21 and the frame 10.

[0037] The punching assembly 30 includes a linear motor 31 mounted on the top surface of the frame 10, a punching drive motor 32 mounted on one end of the linear motor 31, and a drill bit 33 mounted on the end of the punching drive motor 32 near the clamping base 22; the drill bit 33 corresponds one-to-one with the positioning hole 221. The linear motor 31 is used to drive the drill bit 33 to cut the spine of the book after passing through the positioning hole 221, so as to complete the punching work.

[0038] The moving component 40 includes a push cylinder 41 connected to one end of the moving plate 21 and a limiting pin 42 installed at the other end of the moving plate 21. The cylinder body of the push cylinder 41 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the frame 10, and the telescopic rod of the push cylinder 41 is connected to the moving plate 21. In this embodiment, the telescopic direction of the push cylinder 41 is consistent with the length direction of the moving plate 21. The push cylinder 41 pushes the moving plate 41 to move along the length direction of the guide rail pair 29, and the shape of the hole can be adjusted. For example, when the push cylinder 41 is not working, the drill bit 33 cuts the spine after passing through the positioning hole 221. The position of the drill bit 33 and the spine does not move relative to each other, and a round hole is formed. When the push cylinder 41 is working, the drill bit 33 cuts the spine after passing through the positioning hole 221. The position of the drill bit 33 and the spine moves relative to each other, and an oval hole is formed. Oval holes of different lengths can be formed depending on the amount of relative movement between the drill bit 33 and the spine.

[0039] The above-mentioned spine punching equipment has a simple structure and is easy to use. One side of the clamping base 22 is equipped with a clamping claw 24, and one end of the clamping base 22 is equipped with a clamping cylinder 28. The clamping claw 24 and the clamping cylinder 28 abut against the spine from different directions, which improves the stability of clamping, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and effectively ensures the positional accuracy of punching.

[0040] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0041] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
