Detailed Implementation
[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0027] Example
[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a paper positioning device. It mainly consists of key components such as a support platform 1, a central base 2, a positioning base 13, a U-shaped positioning bracket 3, a limiting component, and a positioning shaft 6.
[0029] The support platform 1 serves as the fundamental support structure for the entire device, providing a stable bearing surface for the entire paper cutting process, ensuring the secure installation of all components and the stable placement of the paper stack during operation. The central support 2 is mounted on the support platform 1, serving both positioning and bearing functions. The central support 2 has at least two evenly spaced positioning channels 10 along its circumference, extending radially outward from the center of the central support 2. When only two positioning channels 10 are provided, they are generally arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides of the central support 2. The positioning base 13 is installed within the positioning channels 10, and can reciprocate along the extension direction of the positioning channels 10, positioning itself to a preset position to meet the positioning requirements of paper stacks of different sizes.
[0030] The U-shaped positioning bracket 3 is installed on the positioning base 13. The bottom of the U-shaped positioning bracket 3 is slightly lower than the working surface of the central base 2. This arrangement allows the paper stack to be smoothly and completely embedded inside the U-shaped positioning bracket 3, laying the foundation for subsequent positioning. By using two U-shaped positioning brackets 3 symmetrically arranged on the left and right, the paper stack can be effectively constrained from two mutually perpendicular directions, thereby achieving the positioning of the paper stack on the horizontal plane.
[0031] The positioning shaft 6 passes through the mounting opening 4 at the top of the positioning bracket 3 and can move inward or outward from the positioning bracket 3. When dealing with a thinner stack of paper, the positioning shaft 6 moves inward from the positioning bracket 3 to reduce the positioning thickness; while when dealing with a thicker stack of paper, the positioning shaft 6 moves outward from the positioning bracket 3 to increase the positioning thickness. Multiple limiting slots 14 are provided on both sides of the positioning shaft 6 along its extension direction, working in conjunction with limiting components installed in the limiting through slots 5. During the movement of the positioning shaft 6, the operator must first remove the limiting component from the current limiting slot 14 and move it into the limiting through slot 5. After the positioning shaft 6 moves the positioning component to a preset position suitable for the thickness of the paper stack, the limiting component is then inserted into the corresponding limiting slot 14. At this point, the positioning component can press and position the paper stack. By moving the positioning component up and down within the positioning bracket 3, it successfully adapts to paper stacks of different thicknesses.
[0032] It is worth mentioning that this device uses only two compact positioning brackets 3 to position the paper stack. In subsequent paper cutting processes, especially during edge trimming, the positioning brackets 3 will not interfere with the cutting equipment because their size is significantly smaller than the paper strips to be trimmed. Since this device is merely a positioning mechanism, production personnel can flexibly install the cutting equipment at a suitable location on the support platform 1 according to actual production needs. The central seat 2 is slidably connected to the support platform 1. Using common transmission components such as lead screws, the central seat 2 can be easily moved under the cutting equipment to carry out paper cutting operations. Considering that such sliding connections and transmission methods are common knowledge to those skilled in the art, their specific implementation details will not be elaborated here.
[0033] For example, four positioning channels 10 are equidistantly provided on the circumference of the central base 2, and these four positioning channels 10 are evenly distributed around the central base 2. Each positioning channel 10 is equipped with a positioning base 13, which can drive the positioning bracket 3 connected to it to make displacement adjustments along the direction of the positioning channel 10.
[0034] During operation, the four positioning brackets 3 work synchronously, applying positioning constraints from the front, back, left, and right sides of the paper stack. Simultaneously, the positioning shaft 6 cooperates with the positioning components to adjust the height of the paper stack (i.e., the vertical direction). In this way, through the coordinated action of the four positioning brackets 3, the positioning shaft 6, and the positioning components, omnidirectional positioning of the paper stack on all six sides (front, back, left, right, top, and bottom) is achieved.
[0035] This design utilizes a streamlined and compact positioning mechanism to efficiently achieve the positioning goal of the paper stack. Compared to traditional positioning methods, this design effectively avoids interference with the cutting equipment caused by a large number and size of positioning components, greatly improving the smoothness and stability of the paper cutting process and ensuring efficient production.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the limiting component adopts a structure in which a return spring 16 and a limiting pin 7 work together. The return spring 16 tightly surrounds the limiting pin 7 and is installed inside the limiting through groove 5. One end of the return spring 16 is fixed to the inner wall of the limiting through groove 5, and the other end of the return spring 16 is connected to the outer wall of the limiting pin 7, ensuring stable cooperation between the two during operation. Driven by the elastic potential energy of the return spring 16, the limiting pin 7 can automatically engage with the limiting slot 14 of the positioning shaft 6, thereby effectively locking the position of the positioning shaft 6 and providing key support for the stable operation of the paper positioning device.
[0037] Specifically, under the continuous elastic force applied by the return spring 16, part of the structure of the limiting pin 7 will naturally extend to the inside of the assembly port 4. This creates favorable conditions for the subsequent positioning process. The positioning shaft 6 passes through the assembly port 4, and multiple limiting slots 14 are provided on both sides of the positioning shaft 6 along the axial direction. When the positioning shaft 6 moves to the predetermined position according to actual needs such as the thickness of the paper stack, the limiting pin 7 can be pushed into the corresponding limiting slot 14 under the push of the return spring 16, completing the positioning action of the positioning shaft 6. It is particularly worth mentioning that when two limiting pins 7 are simultaneously and respectively engaged in the corresponding limiting slots 14 on both sides of the positioning shaft 6, the positioning stability of the positioning shaft 6 can be significantly enhanced, greatly improving the positioning effect of the entire paper positioning device and ensuring the positional accuracy and stability of the paper stack during the positioning process.
[0038] It should be noted that the design of the limiting pin 7 fully considers ease of operation. Both ends of the limiting pin 7 extend outside the limiting slot 5. One end of the limiting pin 7 can accurately engage with the limiting slot 14, ensuring positioning accuracy. The other end of the limiting pin 7 is ergonomically designed, with a shape that is easy for operators to grip and apply force manually. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the positioning shaft 6 to accommodate stacks of paper of different thicknesses, the operator only needs to gently pull this end, and the limiting pin 7 can disengage from the limiting slot 14, effectively improving the ease of operation and practicality of the entire paper positioning device.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, when an operator begins positioning the paper stack, the positioning shaft 6 is moved inward toward the positioning bracket 3 to press the paper stack. During the downward movement of the positioning shaft 6, multiple limiting slots 14 evenly distributed on both sides of the positioning shaft 6 move downward synchronously. At this moment, the limiting slot 14 interacts with the corresponding limiting pin 7, and the top inner wall of the limiting slot 14 fits tightly with the guide slope 17 of the limiting pin 7, activating the guiding engagement mechanism. Based on mechanical principles, the guide slope 17 decomposes the pressure it bears into a component force in the direction of the limiting through groove 5. This component force can drive the limiting pin 7 to overcome the elastic restraint of the return spring 16 and smoothly disengage from the current limiting slot 14, thereby successfully releasing the limiting restriction on the positioning shaft 6.
[0040] As the positioning shaft 6 continues to move downwards, the second limiting slot 14 on it quickly reaches the position of the limiting pin 7. At this instant, the limiting pin 7, pushed by the spring force of the return spring 16, engages with the limiting slot 14. The downward movement of the positioning shaft 6 continues, and the subsequent limiting slots 14 and limiting pins 7 repeatedly cycle through the above guiding and engaging process until the positioning shaft 6 moves to the preset position, achieving the pressing and positioning of the paper stack. At this point, the limiting pin 7, under the action of the spring force of the return spring 16, engages with the corresponding limiting slot 14, effectively completing the entire positioning action.
[0041] Of particular note is the unidirectional limiting property of this structure. The guiding engagement between the limiting pin 7 and the limiting slot 14 is only triggered when the positioning shaft 6 moves downwards; when the positioning shaft 6 needs to move upwards, the operator must manually pull out the limiting pin 7 to unlock it. This structure can securely lock the paper stack during the cutting process, effectively preventing displacement. Simultaneously, when locking the paper, the operator only needs to control the positioning shaft 6 to move downwards, and the limiting pin 7 automatically completes the switching and positioning process, requiring no additional cumbersome operations. This greatly improves overall operational efficiency, providing extremely convenient and efficient support for paper positioning and subsequent cutting operations.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments of this application, the positioning component mainly consists of a positioning pressure plate 9 and a telescopic shaft 8. The positioning shaft 6 adopts a hollow structure design, and the telescopic shaft 8 is built into the positioning shaft 6. The two are connected by a threaded connection. The end of the telescopic shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the positioning pressure plate 9. The positioning pressure plate 9 is more flexible during operation and can adapt to the unevenness of the paper stack surface, effectively avoiding the positioning instability problem caused by the difference in the surface condition of the paper stack.
[0043] During the paper stack compaction operation, the initial compaction position is adjusted by moving the positioning shaft 6 relative to the assembly port 4. However, due to the somewhat discrete layout of the limiting slots 14 on both sides of the positioning shaft 6, continuous stepless adjustment of the positioning shaft 6's position is not possible. Therefore, after the initial adjustment, if more precise adjustment is required, the operator can achieve this by rotating the telescopic shaft 8 relative to the positioning shaft 6. Because the two are connected by a threaded transmission mechanism, the telescopic shaft 8 moves axially relative to the positioning shaft 6 during rotation. As the telescopic shaft 8 moves smoothly, the positioning pressure plate 9 connected to the end of the telescopic shaft 8 also moves, thereby providing more precise compaction and positioning of the paper stack, ultimately achieving stepless adjustment of the paper stack's compaction position.
[0044] In some embodiments of this application, the outer wall of the positioning plate 9 is fitted with a guide body, and simultaneously, a guide channel is formed on the inner side of the positioning bracket 3 along its axial direction. The guide body is precisely embedded in the guide channel, and the two constitute a sliding pair structure. When the positioning plate 9 performs an upward or downward movement, the guide body moves linearly along the channel trajectory. This guiding mechanism greatly enhances the stability and accuracy of the positioning plate 9 during vertical displacement by constraining the excess degrees of freedom of the positioning plate 9 during movement, and effectively reduces the positioning error caused by the shaking or offset of the positioning plate 9. The positioning plate 9 and the telescopic shaft 8 are connected by a rotational connection. During the rotation adjustment of the telescopic shaft 8, the positioning plate 9 can always maintain its initial posture and will not rotate synchronously with the rotation of the telescopic shaft 8.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, a drive assembly cooperating with the positioning base 13 is provided. This assembly consists of a motor 11 and a drive shaft 12. The motor 11 is mounted inside the central base 2, and its output end is rigidly connected to the drive shaft 12. The drive shaft 12 passes through the positioning base 13, and the two are threaded together. When the motor 11 operates, the output rotational motion is converted via the drive shaft 12 into linear movement of the positioning base 13 along the positioning channel 10, thereby controlling the position of the positioning base 13 within the channel and improving the convenience and efficiency of the paper positioning operation.

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.
