Description

A paper file alignment and organization device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of document alignment and organization equipment, and in particular relates to a paper document alignment and organization device. Background Technology

[0002] In archival management, the organization of archival paper is a fundamental and important task. Organizing archives facilitates the systematic and standardized processing of various documents and materials, making them easier to store, retrieve, and utilize.

[0003] In the process of organizing archives, such as real estate registration archives, the paper sizes of the archive materials vary. During organization, the archives must be aligned to ensure that all materials are punched and bound in the same position for subsequent punching. Traditional methods of organizing archives rely primarily on manual alignment and organization, which has many drawbacks. Manual operation is prone to errors due to improper operation, fatigue, and uneven pressure, leading to significant alignment errors and making it difficult to guarantee the neatness of the organized archives.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, paper document alignment and organization devices are used during the document processing process to align the documents. These devices can organize scattered documents, ensuring neat edges and facilitating subsequent binding or punching. Currently, common document alignment and organization devices mainly employ the following two structural forms:

[0005] The first type of structure consists of a base plate and several limiting plates. The limiting plates can position the files so that they can be neatly stacked along the limiting plates, thus achieving the purpose of alignment and organization. After alignment, clips (such as dovetail clips) are used to clamp the files and then remove them from the device for subsequent punching operations.

[0006] The second structure also uses a base plate and a limiting plate to limit and align the files, but a clamping component is integrated into the base plate so that the files can be directly clamped on the device. Then the entire alignment and sorting device is moved to the bottom of the punching machine to punch holes, without having to remove the files separately.

[0007] However, both structures have certain limitations in practical use. The first structure requires the files to be removed before punching, and cannot be operated directly on the alignment device; while the second structure must rely on the device for punching, and cannot flexibly switch to punching after the files are removed. In practical applications, different punching methods may be used in different scenarios. For example, the first structure is suitable for batch file organization. After the files are aligned and clamped, they can be taken to the hole puncher for punching, saving some operation time. The second structure is suitable for a small number of documents or special bindings, because the second structure requires moving to the hole puncher for punching, which occupies the device during use. During this time, the alignment device cannot be used to organize the files. The other files can only be aligned and organized after punching is completed, which takes some time. Therefore, it is suitable for a small number of documents or special bindings.

[0008] Therefore, no existing file alignment and organization device can accommodate both punching modes, which limits its use and makes it difficult to flexibly adjust the punching method according to actual needs, thus reducing its ease of use and adaptability. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a paper file alignment and organization device that allows for flexible adjustment of the punching method according to actual needs, thereby improving ease of use and adaptability.

[0010] The paper file alignment and sorting device includes a vertically arranged tray, a first limiting plate fixed to the left side wall of the tray, and a second limiting plate fixed to the top of the tray; a through groove is opened on the left side wall of the tray, and the through groove is connected to the front and back; a through hole is opened on the front side wall of the tray for the drill bit of a punch to pass through; a slider is provided on the second limiting plate, and a pressure plate that can be flipped up and down is hinged on the slider.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the second limiting plate is provided with a sliding groove for the slider to slide back and forth, and the slider and the sliding groove are in a back-and-forth sliding engagement.

[0012] Furthermore, the pressure plate has an "I" shaped structure.

[0013] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the left side wall of the pressure plate; when the pressure plate is flipped to be parallel with the support plate, the groove communicates with the through groove.

[0014] Furthermore, a handle is fixed to the pressure plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the first limiting plate comprises two parts, upper and lower.

[0016] Furthermore, the rear side wall of the pallet is provided with a support plate, and the rear side wall of the support plate is provided with two support blocks arranged in a left-right manner.

[0017] Furthermore, the front sidewall of the support plate is provided with a locking block, and the rear sidewall of the tray is provided with a slot for the locking block to be engaged.

[0018] Furthermore, a rubber pad is provided on the rear side wall of the support block.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] This invention features a tray with a first and second limiting plate for aligning documents. The left side wall of the tray has a through groove that connects the front and back, while the front side wall has a through hole for a drilling machine. By placing documents along the first and second limiting plates on the tray, neat alignment is achieved. The documents are then clamped in the through groove using dovetail clips, allowing them to be removed directly from the tray for drilling. Alternatively, the documents can be clamped in a position away from the through groove, securing them to the tray. The tray with the documents can then be placed under the drilling machine to drill through the through hole. Therefore, this invention facilitates both removing neatly aligned documents for drilling and clamping them directly onto the tray for drilling, thus combining two drilling methods. This avoids the limitations of existing technologies where the drilling method cannot be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, reducing ease of use and adaptability.

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention. Embodiments

[0030] The paper document alignment and sorting device described in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, includes a vertically arranged tray 1. The size of the tray 1 is preferably the size of an A4 sheet of paper, because the size of paper documents is generally the size of an A4 sheet of paper during document sorting. Even if the size of the document is larger than the size of an A4 sheet of paper, such as A3, the document larger than A4 size will be folded to the size of an A4 sheet of paper during the sorting process. In use, the tray 1 is laid flat, and then the paper document is placed on top of the tray 1. Because the size of the tray 1 is the size of an A4 sheet of paper, the tray 1 and the document can fit together well.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, a first limiting plate 3 is fixed to the left side wall of the tray 1, and a second limiting plate 5 is fixed to its top. The right side wall of the first limiting plate 3 is fixed to the left side wall of the tray 1, and the bottom of the second limiting plate 5 is fixed to the top of the tray 1. In use, as shown in Figure 4, the left side wall of the paper document is in contact with the right side wall of the first limiting plate 3, and the top of the paper document is in contact with the bottom of the second limiting plate 5. Therefore, the paper document can be placed on the tray 1 along the path of the first limiting plate 3 and the second limiting plate 5. When the document is placed according to the first limiting plate 3 and the second limiting plate 5, the document can be organized and aligned to achieve the purpose of alignment and organization.

[0032] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the first limiting plate 3 includes two parts, upper and lower. The right side walls of both upper and lower first limiting plates 3 are fixed to the left side wall of the tray 1. Through the design of the upper and lower parts, the limiting range of the first limiting plate 3 on the file can be increased, so that the file can be placed more neatly on the tray 1.

[0033] As shown in Figures 1 and 5, a through groove 4 is provided on the left side wall of the tray 1, and the through groove 4 is connected front to back. Therefore, the through groove 4 is not only connected front to back, but also connected to the left side wall of the tray 1. In use, when the paper documents are placed on the tray 1 and aligned along the first limiting plate 3 and the second limiting plate 5, because the through groove 4 is connected front to back and also connected to the left side wall of the tray 1, the neatly arranged paper documents can be clamped directly from the through groove 4 using dovetail clips. When clamping, the clips do not contact the tray 1, so the neatly arranged paper documents can be directly removed from the tray 1. Then, the removed files can be placed directly under the hole puncher for punching. Therefore, the design of the through slot 4 makes it easy to use dovetail clips to clamp the organized paper files. After clamping, the files are prevented from moving and scattering again when they are removed from the tray 1. It is preferable to have multiple through slots 4. As can be seen from the orientation in Figure 1, it is preferable to have two through slots 4, one at the top and one at the bottom. Of course, three or four through slots 4 are also possible. With the design of multiple through slots 4, dovetail clips can be used to clamp the paper files at different positions on the left side, thus clamping the files more stably.

[0034] As shown in Figures 1 and 6, the front side wall of the tray 1 has a through hole 2 for the drill bit of a hole punch to pass through. Because the document binding process uses a three-hole-in-one binding method, three holes are usually needed when using a hole punch. The distance between the three holes is usually about 8cm. Therefore, the through hole 2 is designed to be rectangular, with a length preferably greater than 8cm, such as 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14cm, and a width preferably 2 or 3cm. The through hole 2 is located close to the first limiting plate 3. In use, when the paper document is placed on the tray 1 and aligned along the first limiting plate 3 and the second limiting plate 5... The document is clamped onto the tray 1 using dovetail clips. As shown in Figure 6, the dovetail clips can be clamped at positions away from the through slot 4, such as the top and bottom of the tray 1. By clamping the document onto the tray 1 from the top or bottom using dovetail clips, the document is contained on the tray 1. Then, by placing the tray 1 under the hole punch, the paper document can be moved under the hole punch. Then, by aligning the drill bit of the hole punch with the through hole 2, the drill bit can drill a hole through the through hole 2. Therefore, by clamping the document onto the tray 1 away from the through slot 4 using the through hole 2 and the dovetail clips, holes can be directly punched into the paper document.

[0035] When the drill bit on the drilling machine is aligned with the through hole 2 on the tray 1, as shown in Figure 1, the distance between the two first limiting plates 3 is approximately the length of the through hole 2. Therefore, by observing the position between the two first limiting plates 3 during drilling, it is easy to determine the position of the through hole 2 on the tray 1, making it easier to align the drill bit with the position of the through hole 2 on the tray 1. Of course, some drilling machines are equipped with limiting blocks. By adjusting the position of the upper limit block of the drilling machine in advance, the through hole 2 on the tray 1 can be automatically aligned with the position of the drill bit on the drilling machine after the tray 1 is placed along the limiting block.

[0036] As shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7, a slider 6 is provided on the second limiting plate 5, and a pressure plate 8 that can be flipped up and down is hinged to the slider 6. According to the orientation in Figure 3, the bottom of the pressure plate 8 can be hinged to the top of the slider 6 via a pivot or a hinge seat. The pivot and hinge seat are existing known products, so they will not be described in detail. In use, after the paper document is placed on the tray 1 and aligned, the pressure plate 8 is flipped to fit against the document. After fitting, the pressure plate 8 is pressed down by hand, and the pressure plate 8 can press down on the document. After pressing down, it is easy to compact the organized document so that it can be clamped with a dovetail clip later. As shown in the orientation in Figure 7, when the pressure plate 8 presses down on the paper document, the force it applies is downward, so the paper document will not move left or right during the pressing process of the pressure plate 8.

[0037] As shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7, the bottom of the second limiting plate 5 is provided with a groove for the slider 6 to slide back and forth. The slider 6 and the groove slide in a back-and-forth sliding fit. Because files are usually sorted by volume, and each file has a different height, after some files are sorted along the first limiting plate 3 and the second limiting plate 5 on the tray 1, when it is necessary to press down files of different heights, the height of the pressure plate 8 can be adjusted by moving the slider 6 up and down according to the orientation in Figure 3. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the pressure plate 8 is flipped to press down the paper files. Therefore, through the sliding design of the slider 6, the pressure plate 8 can press down files of low height. Preferably, a limiting rod is provided at the opening of the groove to prevent the slider 6 from slipping out of the groove, thus making the slider 6 slide more stably in the groove.

[0038] As shown in Figures 3, 6 and 7, the pressure plate 8 has an "I" shaped structure. When the pressure plate 8 is flipped to fit against the paper file, as shown in Figure 6, the pressure plate 8 does not block the left and right sides of the middle part of the paper file. Therefore, when the tray 1 with the file is placed under the hole punch, the structure of the pressure plate 8 will not block the position of the file that needs to be punched, so that the drill bit of the hole punch can punch the paper file smoothly.

[0039] As shown in Figures 3 and 5, a groove is provided on the left side wall of the pressure plate 8. When the pressure plate 8 is flipped to be parallel to the support plate 1, the groove communicates with the through groove 4. The structure of the groove is the same as that of the through groove 4. The position shown in Figure 5 is the state when the pressure plate 8 is flipped to be parallel to the support plate 1, and the pressure plate 8 is in contact with the paper document. At this time, the through groove 4 communicates with the inside of the groove, so the position of the groove will not obstruct the paper document. Then, dovetail clips can be used to clamp the paper document at the position of the groove and the through groove 4. The clamped position does not contact the support plate 1 and the pressure plate 8, so it is easy to remove the clamped paper document from between the support plate 1 and the pressure plate 8. When there are two through grooves 4, one above the other, according to the position shown in Figure 5, two grooves are also set according to the number of through grooves 4. When the pressure plate 8 is flipped to be parallel to the support plate 1, the two grooves and the two through grooves 4 are all connected.

[0040] As shown in Figures 1 and 5, a handle 7 is fixed on the pressure plate 8. When the pressure plate 8 is flipped to fit against the file, the handle 7 is fixed on the side of the pressure plate 8 away from the file. During operation, since the pressure plate 8 is pressed against the file by applying force by hand, the design of the handle 7 makes it easier and smoother to operate the pressure plate 8 to press down on the file.

[0041] In practical use:

[0042] Option 1: When multiple people are organizing files in batches, the person in charge of organizing the files first places the files on the tray 1 along the first limiting plate 3 and the second limiting plate 5, thus achieving the purpose of aligning and organizing the files. After aligning, the slider 6 is slid in the groove according to the thickness of the file. The slider 6 drives the pressure plate 8 to move. When the pressure plate 8 moves to the appropriate position with the slider 6, the pressure plate 8 is flipped so that the pressure plate 8 fits against the paper file. Then, the pressure plate 8 is pressed down to compact the file. After the file is compacted, the file is clamped by using a dovetail clip at the through groove 4. After clamping, the pressure plate 8 is flipped away from the file. Finally, the clamped file is removed from the tray 1. After removal, the person in charge of binding the files places the neat and clamped files under the hole puncher to punch holes. After punching, the files are bound using the three-hole-in-one method. In the above operation, by directly clamping and removing the organized files, it is convenient for subsequent personnel to punch and bind files in batches.

[0043] Option 2: When organizing a small number of files by a single person, the person first places the files on the tray 1 along the first limiting plate 3 and the second limiting plate 5. This aligns the files. After aligning them, the slider 6 slides within the groove according to the thickness of the file. The slider 6 moves the pressure plate 8. When the pressure plate 8 moves to the appropriate position with the slider 6, it is flipped to fit against the paper file. Then, the pressure plate 8 is pressed down to compact the file. After the file is compacted, a dovetail clip is used to secure the paper file. The file is clamped between tray 1 and pressure plate 8. The dovetail clip can be positioned as shown in Figure 6. After the file is clamped between tray 1 and pressure plate 8, place tray 1 with the file under the hole punch. Then, align the drill bit of the hole punch with the through hole 2 to punch holes in the file. After punching, remove the file from under the hole punch. Bind the file using a three-hole-in-one method. After binding, remove the dovetail clip and finally remove the bound file from between tray 1 and pressure plate 8.

[0044] When multiple people are organizing files in batches, Option 1 allows one person to align and organize the files while another handles punching and binding. This facilitates teamwork and makes organizing batches of files easier. Option 2, however, is more time-consuming. While Option 1 can be used for organizing small batches of files by a single person, Option 2 is smoother. Therefore, this design combines the methods of both Option 1 and Option 2, allowing the user to choose the appropriate method based on their needs. This increases practicality, allows for flexible adjustment of the punching method according to actual requirements, and improves ease of use and adaptability. Example

[0045] This embodiment further illustrates the technology. As shown in Figures 1 and 3, a support plate 9 is provided on the rear side wall of the tray 1, and two support blocks 11 arranged side by side are provided on the rear side wall of the support plate 9. The front side wall of the support block 11 is fixed to the rear side wall of the support plate 9. In use, as shown in Figure 3, the support plate 9 and the support blocks 11 can support the tray 1 and lift the tray 1 upward. After lifting, when it is necessary to use a dovetail clip to clamp neat files, it is more convenient to operate the dovetail clip to clamp the files than when the tray 1 is flush with the table.

[0046] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, a locking block 10 is provided on the front side wall of the support plate 9, and a locking groove for the locking block 10 to be engaged is provided on the rear side wall of the tray 1. The rear side wall of the locking block 10 is fixed to the front side wall of the support plate 9. According to the orientation in Figure 3, the structure of the locking groove is designed based on the structure of the locking block 10, so that the locking block 10 fits against the groove wall after being placed in the groove. Therefore, through the above design, the locking block 10 can be limited in the locking groove of the tray 1, thereby driving the support plate 9 and the support block 11 connected to the locking block 10 to be limited in the tray 1. The bottom of the tray 1; then by removing the card block 10 from the card slot, the tray 1 can be separated from the support plate 9, the card block 10 and the support block 11; if the support plate 9, the card block 10 and the support block 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the tray 1, it will be inconvenient to operate when the tray 1 is placed under the punching machine for punching. Therefore, the design that the tray 1 can be removed from between the support plate 9, the card block 10 and the support block 11 makes it easy to place the tray 1 under the punching machine, and it will be convenient to punch the paper documents on the tray 1.

[0047] As shown in Figure 3, a rubber pad 12 is provided on the rear side wall of the support block 11. Since the process of organizing files is generally carried out on the desktop, the design of the rubber pad 12 increases the friction when the rubber pad 12 is placed on the desktop, thereby improving the anti-slip effect and increasing the stability of this design during use.
