Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of printing equipment, and in particular relates to a hinge guide device for printed books. Background Technology

[0002] A dust jacket, also known as a book cover, is a printed cover that wraps around the outside of a book. Its height is equal to the book's height, and its length covers the front cover, spine, and back cover. Applying the dust jacket is the final step in book printing; after the dust jacket is applied, the books can be stacked and packaged.

[0003] Since books are open during the dust jacket packaging stage, they need to be closed before being stacked and packaged. This necessitates the use of hinges. Currently, book hinges are primarily made manually, which is both inefficient and costly. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the technical problems of existing manual hinges by proposing a book printing hinge guide device that is reasonably designed, simple in structure, easy to process, and capable of automating hinge operation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides a hinge guiding device for printed books, including a conveyor and a hinge guiding mechanism disposed on the conveyor. The conveyor includes a frame and a conveyor belt rotatably disposed on the frame. The hinge guiding mechanism includes a pressure plate disposed at the center position of the book in the open state and guide plates disposed on both sides of the pressure plate. The pressure plate is vertically disposed. The guide plate includes a horizontal part and an inclined part disposed sequentially along the direction of movement of the conveyor belt. The connection end of the horizontal part and the inclined part is obliquely disposed. The inclined part gets closer and closer to the pressure plate from the direction of movement of the conveyor belt. Auxiliary guide plates are also disposed on both sides of the pressure plate. The auxiliary guide plates are disposed at the end of the guide plate away from the horizontal part. The auxiliary guide plates include an auxiliary inclined part disposed near the inclined part and a vertical part disposed at one end of the auxiliary inclined part.

[0006] Preferably, the inclined portion and the auxiliary inclined portion are partially overlapped.

[0007] Preferably, pressure rods are provided on both sides of the pressure plate, and the pressure rods are positioned above the guide plate and are spaced at the same distance from the guide plate.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0009] 1. The utility model provides a hinge guiding device for printed books. It uses a conveyor to keep the books in a moving state, and then uses the hinge guiding mechanism to make the open books actively close under the guidance of the hinge guiding mechanism, thereby reducing labor and improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0014] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0015] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0016] Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment aims to provide a low-cost book hinge device that does not require manual assistance, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs. To this end, this embodiment provides a book printing hinge guiding device, including a conveyor 1 and a hinge guiding mechanism disposed on the conveyor 1. The conveyor 1 is mainly used to provide the power for moving the books. By using the conveyor 1, the books can not only be moved to the stacking process, but also conveniently use the moving force to make them hinged. The hinge guiding mechanism is used to complete the hinge action.

[0017] The conveyor 1 includes a frame 11 and a conveyor belt 12 rotatably mounted on the frame 11. In this embodiment, the width of the conveyor belt 12 is about one-fifth of the width of the frame 11, and the two sides are covered by side plates 13. The main reason for this arrangement is that when the books are open, only the spine of the books needs to contact the conveyor belt 12.

[0018] The hinge guiding mechanism includes a pressure plate 21 located at the center of the book when it is open, and guide plates 3 located on both sides of the pressure plate 21. The pressure plate 21 is vertically arranged, and a fixing frame 2 is set on the frame 11 to fix the pressure plate 21 and keep it above the book. The purpose of this arrangement is to prevent the book from shifting or folding due to wind or other reasons in the factory.

[0019] The guide plate 3 includes a horizontal part 31 and an inclined part 32 arranged sequentially along the movement direction of the conveyor belt 12. The horizontal part 31 is fixed on the side plate 13, and the inclined part 32 is inclined upward. In order to make the two sides of the book slowly complete the hinge during the movement, the connection end of the horizontal part 31 and the inclined part 32 is arranged at an angle. The inclined part 32 gets closer and closer to the pressure plate 21 from the movement direction of the conveyor belt 12. In this way, the outermost part of the book contacts the inclined part 32 first, and then slowly gets closer and closer to the spine.

[0020] To complete the hinge, auxiliary guide plates 4 are provided on both sides of the pressure plate 21. The auxiliary guide plates 4 are located at the end of the guide plate 3 away from the horizontal part 31. The auxiliary guide plate 4 includes an auxiliary tilting part 41 located near the tilting part 32 and a vertical part 42 located at one end of the auxiliary tilting part 41. In this way, the hinge angle of the book gradually increases due to the action of the auxiliary tilting part 41, and the hinge is finally completed by the vertical part 42.

[0021] In this way, under the action of the conveyor belt 12, and guided by the guide plate 3 and the auxiliary guide plate 4, the books can automatically complete the hinge, avoiding manual operation and the implementation of other power equipment.

[0022] To ensure a smooth transition during the hinge process, the tilting part 32 and the auxiliary tilting part 41 are partially overlapped. Furthermore, the length of the tilting part 32 is at least twice that of the auxiliary tilting part 41. This is to increase the length of the hinge and improve its stability.

[0023] To further improve the stability of the hinge and prevent page folding, pressure rods 5 are provided on both sides of the pressure plate 21. The pressure rods 5 are positioned above the guide plate 3 and are spaced at the same distance from the guide plate 3. In this way, the sides of the book are always kept in a restrained state, preventing page flipping and thus avoiding page folding.

[0024] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
