Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bill flattening technology, and in particular to a bill flattening device. Background Technology
[0002] A document flattening machine is a specialized device for flattening, pressing, and shaping paper documents such as documents, ledgers, and books. It comes in both manual and electric types. When using a manual document flattening machine, first place the document on the operating table, then rotate the screw to allow the pressure plate to contact and press the document flat. For very uneven documents or those with warped edges, the user needs to press the document by hand until the pressure plate is close to the document. Removing the hand too early will result in inadequate pressing; failing to remove the hand in time will cause the pressure plate to pinch the fingers.
[0003] Therefore, this utility model provides a flattening device for tickets to meet the requirements. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a flattening device for tickets. By setting up a pressing component, the user can use the first pressing plate to pre-press the ticket before pressing. After the ticket is initially flattened, the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate work together to press. The height of the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate can be adjusted, which makes it convenient for the user to press tickets of different thicknesses, improves the pressing effect, utilization rate and safety of use. The above settings can solve the problem of unsatisfactory pressing of uneven or warped tickets.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] Optionally, a square groove is provided at the top of the screw, the outline of which matches the outline of the elastic clip, a limiting plate is fixedly connected inside the square groove, and a circular groove is provided at the bottom of the square groove, the circular groove penetrating the screw.
[0009] Optionally, a first circular hole is provided at the center of the first pressure plate, the first circular hole matches the outline of the circular groove, and the pull rod is inserted through the first circular hole and adapted to the outline of the first circular hole.
[0010] Optionally, the bottom of the first pressure plate is provided with a groove that matches the contour of the second pressure plate, and the second pressure plate is inserted into the groove at the bottom of the first pressure plate. Limiting rods are symmetrically installed on both sides of the top of the first pressure plate and the second pressure plate. The limiting rod on the second pressure plate passes through and is inserted into the first pressure plate. The limiting rods on the first pressure plate and the second pressure plate both pass through and are inserted into the top plate.
[0011] Optionally, the base plate is provided with symmetrical safety warning grooves on both sides. The safety warning grooves have the same outline as the second pressure plate and are located on the outside of the second pressure plate.
[0012] Optionally, the elastic clamp consists of three parts: a flat plate and clamping handles symmetrically mounted on both sides of the flat plate. An arc-shaped plate, a clamping plate, and an outward-flipping plate are sequentially fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping handles. A second circular hole is provided at the middle position of the flat plate, and the outline of the second circular hole matches the outline of the first circular hole.
[0013] Optionally, the clamping handle, the arc-shaped plate, the clamping plate, and the outer flip plate are integrally manufactured. The clamping handle and the outer flip plate have an outwardly flipped arc-shaped profile. The arc-shaped plate has a "C"-shaped profile and a weakening groove is formed inside the arc-shaped plate.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0015] In the above solution, by setting up a pressing component, the user can use the first pressing plate to pre-press the document before pressing. After the document is initially flattened, the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate press together. The height of both the first pressing plate and the second pressing plate can be adjusted, which makes it convenient for the user to press documents of different thicknesses, thereby improving the pressing effect, utilization rate and safety of use.
[0016] By setting the first pressure plate, uneven or warped documents can be initially pressed. At this time, the rotation of the screw causes the first pressure plate to move down to the position of the second pressure plate. The second pressure plate is embedded in the first pressure plate to become a whole. If the screw is rotated further, the first pressure plate and the second pressure plate will work together to press the document, which improves the safety of pressing and makes the pressing effect more ideal.
[0017] By setting up an elastic clip, the height of the second pressure plate can be adjusted, making it convenient for users to place the sorted documents on the top plate and press down documents of different thicknesses. It is simple to use and can be reused.
[0018] By setting up safety warning slots, and because the second pressure plate has been dematerialized on both sides, making its middle part smaller and its sides larger, when the second pressure plate is lowered, the user's hand can be placed outside the safety warning slots to avoid being accidentally pressed by the second pressure plate.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a document flattening device, including a base plate 1, a support column fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, a top plate 2 fixedly connected to the top of the support column, the base plate 1 and the top plate 2 being fixed together by the support column, baffles fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base plate, the baffles being located inside the support column, a circular hole adapted to the outline of the support column being opened in the middle of the baffle, a screw rod 3 being screwed to the middle of the top plate 2, a handle fixedly connected to the top of the screw rod 3, and a first pressure plate 4 rotatably connected to the bottom of the screw rod 3; a pressing assembly, used to assist the user in pressing the document, the pressing assembly being connected to the screw rod 3 and the first pressure plate 4 respectively. In this application, the user can adjust the height of the first pressure plate 4 and the distance between the first pressure plate 4 and the base plate 1 by rotating the screw rod 3, then place the document on the top of the base plate 1 and press it by the first pressure plate 4.
[0034] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the pressing assembly includes a pull rod 6 inserted through the screw 3. A second pressure plate 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pull rod 6. The pressing assembly also includes an elastic clip 7 snapped onto the top of the screw 3. The elastic clip 7 consists of three parts: a flat plate 702 and a clamping handle 701 symmetrically installed on both sides of the flat plate 702. An arc-shaped plate 705, a clamping plate 706, and an outward-flipping plate 707 are sequentially fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping handle 701. The clamping handle 701, the arc-shaped plate 705, the clamping plate 706, and the outward-flipping plate 707 are integrally manufactured. The clamping handle 701 and the outward-flipping plate 707 have an outward-flipping arc-shaped profile. The arc-shaped plate 705 has a "C"-shaped profile. A weakening groove 704 is opened inside the arc-shaped plate 705. A square groove 301 is opened on the top of the screw 3. The profile of the square groove 301 and the elastic clip 7 are... The outline matches, and the internal fixed connection of the square groove 301 is a limiting plate 8. The pressing component mainly consists of three parts: a pull rod 6, a second pressing plate 5, and an elastic clamp 7. The second pressing plate 5 is mainly used to initially flatten the document. Specifically, the pull rod 6 is fixed to the top of the second pressing plate 5 and inserted into the screw 3. Therefore, the user can change the height of the second pressing plate 5 by pulling the pull rod 6, and then use the second pressing plate 5 to initially press the document. In actual operation, the user first places the document on 1, and then adjusts the height of the second pressing plate 5 by pulling the pull rod 6. The second pressing plate 5 uses its own weight to initially flatten the document. Since the two sides of the second pressing plate 5 are dematerialized, the middle part is small and the two sides are large, which makes it easy to avoid the user's hand and prevent it from being accidentally pressed by the second pressing plate 5.
[0035] The elastic clip 7 is engaged within the square groove 301. The handle 701 has an outwardly rotating arc-shaped profile. When the user presses the handle 701, the elastic clip 7 enters the square groove 301. The bottom of the handle 701 is connected to an arc-shaped plate 705. The curvature of the two sides of the arc-shaped plate 705 is greater than the width of the square groove 301. Therefore, when the arc-shaped plate 705 enters the square groove 301, it will be deformed by being squeezed by the sides of the square groove 301. The bottom of the arc-shaped plate 705 is connected to a clamping plate 706. The clamping plate 706 is a vertically downward straight plate, and the two clamping plates 706 are symmetrical. When the arc-shaped plate 705 is compressed... The two clamping plates 706 will move towards the middle to clamp the pull rod 6. The pull rod 6 is clamped and therefore restricted from movement. Since the second pressure plate 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the pull rod 6, the height of the second pressure plate 5 is also fixed. The pull rod 6 is a long cuboid rod with the same outline on all four sides. The two sides of the pull rod 6 are adapted to the clamping plates 706, so that it can be better clamped by the clamping plates 706. The user can also use his thumb and forefinger to pinch the two sides of the handle 701 of the elastic clamp 7 and pull the elastic clamp 7 upward. During the pulling process, the curved plate 705 will slide toward the top of the square groove 301, so that the curved plate 705 completely disengages from the square groove 301. After the limit of 01, it will recover its deformation under its own elastic force. The clamping plate 706 will also recover its deformation along with the arc plate 705. After the clamping plate 706 recovers its deformation, the distance between the two clamping plates 706 is greater than the outline of the pull rod 6, so the pull rod 6 can move. The second pressure plate 5 will fall above the ticket due to its own gravity. The bottom of the clamping plate 706 is connected to the outward flip plate 707, which has an outward flipping arc outline. When the elastic clamp 7 is pulled up to the state where the arc plate 705 is completely separated from the limit of the square groove 301, the top of the outward flip plate 707 abuts against the bottom of the limit plate 8. The limiting plate 8 is fixedly connected in the square groove 301 and is located between the arc plate 705 and the outward flip plate 707. The arc-shaped outline of the outward flip plate 707 is larger than the outline of the limiting plate 8, thereby creating a resisting limit on the elastic clip 7. With the above structure, the elastic clip 7 can be locked in the square groove 301 when not in use, which can prevent the elastic clip 7 from being lost. When the elastic clip 7 is needed, there is no need to re-insert it. The interaction between the elastic clip 7 and the square groove 301 can be used to clamp or loosen the pull rod 6 to adjust the height of the second pressure plate 5. The structure is not only simple, but also easy to operate.
[0036] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the bottom of the first pressure plate 4 has a groove that matches the contour of the second pressure plate 5. The second pressure plate 5 is inserted into the groove at the bottom of the first pressure plate 4. The pull rod 6 is located at the middle position of the top of the second pressure plate 5. The bottom of the square groove 301 has a circular groove 302 through which the screw 3 passes. The middle position of the first pressure plate 4 has a first circular hole 401 that matches the contour of the circular groove 302. The pull rod 6 is inserted through the first circular hole 401 and matches the contour of the first circular hole 401. The middle position of the flat plate 702 has a second circular hole 703 that matches the contour of the first circular hole 401. Limiting rods are symmetrically installed on both sides of the top of the first pressure plate 4 and the second pressure plate 5. The limiting rod on the second pressure plate 5 is inserted through the first pressure plate 4. The limiting rods on the first pressure plate 4 and the second pressure plate 5 are both inserted through the top plate 2. In the above structure, the pull rod 6 passes through the first circular hole 401, the circular groove 302 and the second circular hole 703 in sequence. The structure of the pull rod 6 is adapted to the structure of the first circular hole 401, the circular groove 302 and the second circular hole 703. The limiting rods on both sides of the top of the first pressure plate 4 and the second pressure plate 5 can respectively limit the first pressure plate 4 and the second pressure plate 5, so that the first pressure plate 4 and the second pressure plate 5 will not deviate when they need to be fitted. When the elastic clip 7 and the pull rod 6 are not in the clamping state, the rotation of the screw 3 will not affect the raising or lowering of the first pressure plate 4, ensuring that the second pressure plate 5 will not deviate when initially flattening the document.
[0037] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the base plate 1 has symmetrical safety warning grooves 9 on both sides. The safety warning grooves 9 have the same outline as the second pressure plate 5 and are located outside the second pressure plate 5. The safety warning grooves 9 serve as safety warnings. When the user lowers the second pressure plate 5, the area outside the safety warning grooves 9 is a safe area. The user will not be accidentally pressed by the second pressure plate 5 when placing their hand in this area.
[0038] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0039] In use, rotate screw 3 to adjust the first pressure plate 4 to a suitable height. The user then pinches the pull rod 6 and lifts it upwards to pull the second pressure plate 5 to a certain height. Next, place one hand on the bottom of the second pressure plate 5 to lift it to a suitable height, and press the handle 701 of the elastic clip 7. Due to the force, the elastic clip 7 will enter the square groove 301. The arc-shaped plate 705 of the elastic clip 7 will deform under the pressure of the square groove 301, clamping the pull rod 6. At this time, the pull rod 6 cannot slide within screw 3, and the height of the second pressure plate 5 is fixed. Then, the user places the organized receipts on top of the base plate 1, and then pinches both sides of the handle 701 of the elastic clip 7 to pull it upwards. During the pulling process, the arc-shaped plate 705 will slide towards the top of the square groove 301, allowing the arc-shaped plate 705 to completely disengage from the limit of the square groove 301 and then... Under the elastic force of the body, the clamping plate 706 is released and the outer flap 707 of the elastic clamp 7 is pressed against the bottom of the limiting plate 8, thereby resisting and limiting the elastic clamp 7. At this time, the pull rod 6 is not clamped by the elastic clamp 7, and the second pressure plate 5 will fall above the ticket due to its own gravity. As long as the user places his hand outside the safety warning line groove, he will not be accidentally pressed by the second pressure plate. After the 5 falls on the ticket, it will use its own gravity to initially press and flatten the ticket. After the ticket is initially flattened, since the groove contour of the bottom of the first pressure plate 4 matches the contour of the second pressure plate 5, the first pressure plate 4 is moved down by the rotation of the screw 3, and the second pressure plate 5 will be embedded in the first pressure plate 4 to become a whole. If the screw 3 is rotated, the second pressure plate 5 and the first pressure plate 4 will press the ticket together, and finally achieve the flattening of the ticket.
[0040] This utility model encompasses any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of this utility model. To provide the public with a thorough understanding of this utility model, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments; however, those skilled in the art will fully understand this utility model even without these detailed descriptions. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.
[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
