Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of book production equipment, specifically to a production line for attaching ribbons, end caps, and back strips to book cores. Background Technology

[0002] This booklet usually refers to a collection of books, notebooks, and volumes, such as a notebook (used for writing) or a notepad. Some booklets include a cover, booklet, ribbon, endpapers, and back strip. The cover has a front cover, a back cover, and a bottom cover connecting the front and back covers. The booklet is sandwiched between the front and back covers and has several loose pages. The ribbon can be sandwiched between any two loose pages, and one end of the ribbon is attached to one end of the bottom of the booklet. The ribbon mainly serves to mark the last writing or viewing position. The endpapers are usually made of cloth and usually have two sections, which are attached to the two ends of the bottom of the booklet. The back strip is mainly used to cover the bottom of the booklet and the endpapers.

[0003] Traditionally, booklet production requires four steps in sequence: tying the ribbon, attaching the ribbon, attaching the end cap, and attaching the back strip. Currently, the ribbon tying and back strip attaching steps are completed separately by ribbon tying machines and back strip attaching machines, respectively. However, since the ribbon attaching and end cap attaching steps are still done manually, booklet production efficiency is low and production costs are high for enterprises. Utility Model Content

[0044] like Figure 1-16 As shown, this utility model discloses a production line for attaching ribbons, end caps, and back strips to booklets, including a feeding mechanism 10, a ribbon twisting machine 20, a ribbon attaching machine 30, an end cap attaching machine 40, and a back strip attaching machine 50 arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the booklet 70. The booklet 70 is conveyed in an upright posture.

[0045] The feeding mechanism 10 can transport the stacked book cores 70 one by one to the ribbon winding machine 20. The feeding mechanism 10 is a mature existing technology, and its specific structure will not be described in detail.

[0046] The ribbon-tying machine 20 can twist the end of the ribbon near the ribbon-applying machine 30 into the loose pages on the booklet core 70, and then transport the booklet core 70 with the ribbon twisted into it to the ribbon-applying machine 30. The ribbon-tying machine 20 is a mature existing technology, and its specific structure will not be described in detail.

[0047] The ribbon attaching machine 30 can attach the other end of the ribbon extending out of the loose-leaf pages to the bottom of the booklet 70, and then transport the booklet 70 with the ribbon attached to it to the end-attaching machine 40.

[0048] The end-attaching machine 40 can attach two end-attaches to one end of the bottom of the booklet 70 and transport the booklet 70 with the end-attached end-attached end-attached end-attached backing strip machine 50, with one of the end-attaches covering the other end of the ribbon.

[0049] The backing strip attaching machine 50 can attach backing strips to the bottom and sides of the booklet core 70 and output the booklet core 70 with the attached backing strips, the backing strips covering two end caps.

[0050] The feeding mechanism 10, ribbon twisting machine 20, ribbon attaching machine 30, end cap attaching machine 40, and backing strip attaching machine 50 are arranged in a straight line. Among the ribbon twisting machine 20, ribbon attaching machine 30, end cap attaching machine 40, and backing strip attaching machine 50, each adjacent pair is provided with a transfer mechanism 60 for conveying the booklet core 70. The transfer mechanism 60 can be a conveyor belt. The straight layout makes the straight conveying of the booklet core 70 more stable and facilitates the completion of each process of attaching ribbons, end caps, and backing strips, resulting in high production efficiency.

[0051] The ribbon applicator 30 has a first clamping mechanism 31 and a first gluing mechanism 32 and a first pasting mechanism 33 located below the first clamping mechanism 31. The first clamping mechanism 31 conveys the booklet core 70 through the first gluing mechanism 32 and the first pasting mechanism 33 in sequence. The first gluing mechanism 32 can apply glue to the bottom of the booklet core 70, and the first pasting mechanism 33 will attach the other end of the ribbon to the bottom of the booklet core 70 which has been coated with glue.

[0052] The first clamping mechanism 31 has two conveyor belts 311 arranged opposite to each other, and a first conveying channel 312 for conveying the core 70 is formed between the two conveyor belts 311. A first guide groove 313 is provided directly above the first conveying channel 312.

[0053] The first clamping mechanism 31 also has a first mounting base 314 and a second mounting base 315. The two conveyor belts 311 are respectively mounted on the first mounting base 314 and the second mounting base 315. The second mounting base 315 can move closer to or further away from the first mounting base 314 to adjust the width of the first conveying channel 312. By setting an adjustable second mounting base 315, the width of the first conveying channel 312 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the core 70, which has good versatility.

[0054] The first gluing mechanism 32 includes a first glue box 321, a first rotary drive unit 322, a first rotating shaft 323, and a first glue-dipping component 324. The first glue-dipping component 324 is disposed on the first rotating shaft 323, which is located above the first glue box 321. The axis of the first rotating shaft 323 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the booklet 70. The first rotary drive unit 322 drives the first glue-dipping component 324 to rotate through the first rotating shaft 323, so that the first glue-dipping component 324 is immersed in the first glue box 321, dipped in glue, and applies the glue to one end of the bottom of the booklet 70. The first rotary drive unit 322 may be a motor.

[0055] A connecting sleeve 325 is fitted onto the first rotating shaft 323. The connecting sleeve 325 is provided with a bracket 326 that can be adjusted along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 323. The first adhesive applicator 324 can be adjusted up and down and installed on the bracket 326. Specifically, the adjustment structure of the bracket 326 and the first adhesive applicator 324 adopts a mating structure of threaded hole, elongated hole and screw. By setting the bracket 326 to be adjustable along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 323 and setting the first adhesive applicator 324 to be adjusted up and down and installed on the bracket 326, the position of the first adhesive applicator 324 can be finely adjusted, so that the position of the first adhesive applicator 324 applying glue to the bottom of the core 70 is more accurate.

[0056] The first adhesive-dipping component 324 is elastic, and the first adhesive-dipping component 324 is an adhesive-dipping sheet or several adhesive-dipping strips.

[0057] The first adhesive-dipping component 324 has an inclined portion 3241 at the end away from the first rotating shaft 323. When the first adhesive-dipping component 324 is located directly above the first rotating shaft 323, the inclined portion 3241 extends inclinedly from bottom to top in the material feeding direction of the core 70, or the inclined portion 3241 extends inclinedly from bottom to top in the traveling direction of the core 70. By providing the inclined portion 3241 on the first adhesive-dipping component 324, the adhesive adheres to the inclined portion 3241 during the rotation of the first adhesive-dipping component 324 and is not easy to fall off, thereby making the effect of the inclined portion 3241 in applying the adhesive to the core 70 better.

[0058] The first glue box 321 is equipped with a heating device (not shown). The heating device can heat the solid glue in the first glue box 321 to form molten glue. The glue in the first glue box 321 can be room temperature liquid glue or room temperature solid glue. The heating device can heat and melt the room temperature solid glue.

[0059] The first pasting mechanism 33 has a first horizontal drive device 331, a first lifting drive device 332, a suction nozzle 333, and a scraper 334. The suction nozzle 333 can suck up the other end of the ribbon. The suction nozzle 333 has a circular suction hole 3331 and is connected to a negative pressure device. The driving end of the first lifting drive device 332 is connected to the suction nozzle 333 and the scraper 334. The first lifting drive device 332 can drive the suction nozzle 333 and the scraper 334 to move up and down. The first horizontal drive device 331 can drive the first lifting drive device 332, the suction nozzle 333, and the scraper 334 to move along the conveying direction of the core 70. The first horizontal drive device 331 can be driven by a cylinder or a synchronous belt + motor.

[0060] The first lifting drive device 332 is connected to a second lifting drive device 335 at its drive end. The second lifting drive device 335 is connected to the suction nozzle 333 at its drive end. The second lifting drive device 335 can drive the suction nozzle 333 to move up and down. Both the first lifting drive device 332 and the second lifting drive device 335 can be cylinders. The second lifting drive device 335 can drive the suction nozzle 333 to move upward to facilitate the suction of the ribbon, or it can drive the suction nozzle 333 to move downward so that the upper end of the suction nozzle 333 is lower than the upper end of the scraper 334, thus preventing the suction nozzle 333 from colliding with the book core 70.

[0061] The scraper 334 is a soft scraper 3341; by using the soft scraper 3341, it is easy to press and stick the ribbon to the bottom of the book core 70.

[0062] Two soft scrapers 3341 are provided, and the two soft scrapers 3341 are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the book core 70; by using two soft scrapers 3341, the ribbon is pressed twice, so that the ribbon and the book core 70 are more tightly bonded.

[0063] The plug applicator 40 has a second clamping mechanism 41 and a second gluing mechanism 42 and a second pasting mechanism 43 located below the second clamping mechanism 41. The second clamping mechanism 41 can transport the booklet core 70 through the second gluing mechanism 42 and the second pasting mechanism 43 in sequence. The second gluing mechanism 42 can apply glue to both ends of the bottom of the booklet core 70. The second pasting mechanism 43 can simultaneously bond two plugs to both ends of the bottom of the booklet core 70 that has been coated with glue.

[0064] The second clamping mechanism 41 has a second lateral driving device 411 and a first clamping module 412 and a second clamping module 413 arranged vertically. Both the first clamping module 412 and the second clamping module 413 can clamp both sides of the book core 70. The second lateral driving device 411 can drive the first clamping module 412 to reciprocate relative to the second clamping module 413 along the conveying direction of the book core 70. The first clamping module 412 has a plurality of clamping components 4121 distributed along the conveying direction of the book core 70. Each clamping component 4121 includes two clamping units 4122 arranged opposite to each other. The clamping unit 4122 has a clamping block and a cylinder for driving the clamping block to move. The second clamping module 413 has the same structure as the first clamping module 412. When working, when the first clamping module 412 clamps the book core 70, the second clamping module 413 is in a released state, that is, the first clamping module 412 and the second clamping module 413 alternately move.

[0065] The second clamping mechanism 41 also has a movable seat 414 and a fixed seat 415 arranged vertically. The movable seat 414 is linearly slidably disposed on the fixed seat 415. The second transverse driving device 411 drives the movable seat 414 to move relative to the fixed seat 415. The first clamping module 412 is disposed on the movable seat 414, and the second clamping module 413 is disposed on the fixed seat 415. Specifically, there are two movable seats 414 and two fixed seats 415. A gap is maintained between the two movable seats 414 to form a second conveying channel 416. A second guide groove 417 is provided directly above the second conveying channel 416. Two clamping units 4122 arranged opposite to each other are respectively disposed on the corresponding movable seats 414. The second transverse driving device 411 can be driven by a cylinder or a synchronous belt + motor.

[0066] The second gluing mechanism 42 includes a third lifting drive device 421, a second glue box 422, a second rotary drive unit 423, a second rotating shaft 424, and two second glue-dipping parts 425. The second rotating shaft 424 is rotatably mounted in the second glue box 422, and its axis is parallel to the conveying direction of the booklet core 70. The two second glue-dipping parts 425 are spaced apart on the second rotating shaft 424. The second rotary drive unit 423 drives the second glue-dipping parts 425 to rotate via the second rotating shaft 424, causing the glue-dipping parts to be dipped in the glue from the glue box. The second rotary drive unit 423 may be a motor. The third lifting drive device 421 may drive the second glue box 422 and the second rotary drive unit 423 to move up and down synchronously, so that the two second glue-applying parts 425 may apply glue to both ends of the bottom of the core 70 simultaneously. The third lifting drive device 421 has a lifting seat 4211 and a lifting drive unit 4212 that drives the upper glue seat to move up and down. The lifting drive unit 4212 may be a cylinder. The second glue box 422 and the second rotary drive unit 423 are both mounted on the lifting seat 4211.

[0067] The second adhesive-dipping component 425 is an adhesive-dipping wheel, and the uppermost end of the outer circular surface of the adhesive-dipping wheel extends out of the second adhesive box 422.

[0068] The second glue box 422 is equipped with scrapers 426 corresponding to the glue-dipping wheels. The scrapers 426 are used to scrape off excess glue from the periphery of the glue-dipping wheels, so that the glue thickness adhering to the periphery of the glue-dipping wheels is uniform. The second glue box 422 is equipped with an adjustment component 427, which can adjust the distance between the blade of the scraper 426 and the periphery of the glue-dipping wheel. By setting the adjustment component 427, the distance between the blade of the scraper 426 and the periphery of the glue-dipping wheel can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the thickness of the glue adhering to the periphery of the glue-dipping wheel.

[0069] The adjusting assembly 427 includes a third rotating shaft 4271, an adjusting screw 4272, and a return spring 4273. The axis of the third rotating shaft 4271 is parallel to the axis of the second rotating shaft 424. The scraper 426 is mounted on the third rotating shaft 4271. The two ends of the second rotating shaft 424 are respectively connected to a first swing arm 4274 and a second swing arm 4275. The adjusting screw 4272 is threadedly connected to the second plastic box 422 or the lifting seat 4211. The adjusting screw 4272 can push against the first swing arm 4274, causing the first swing arm 4274 to drive the third rotating shaft. When 4271 and scraper 426 rotate clockwise, the return spring 4273 causes the second swing arm 4275 to always have the tendency to drive the third rotating shaft 4271 and scraper 426 to rotate counterclockwise. During adjustment, rotating the adjusting screw 4272 in the forward direction pushes the first swing arm 4274, causing the first swing arm 4274 to drive the third rotating shaft 4271 and scraper 426 to rotate clockwise, reducing the distance between the blade of scraper 426 and the peripheral wall of the adhesive-dipping wheel.
