Description

A multi-purpose newspaper folding machine Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of newspaper and magazine production, and in particular to a multi-purpose newspaper and magazine folding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional newspaper and magazine printing presses occupy a large area and usually require multiple operators. Traditional newspaper and magazine cutting sizes are fixed and have a small footprint, making them unsuitable for book production.

[0003] Existing multi-purpose newspaper folding machines, such as the multi-purpose newspaper folding machine disclosed in utility model patent application number 202323315302.1, mainly include a front folding unit, a transmission unit, a vertical cutting unit, a horizontal cutting unit, a lifting and conveying unit, a rear folding unit, and an output unit arranged in sequence. The front folding unit includes a front folding bracket, a front folding conveying roller, a front folding plate, and a front folding frame. The front folding frame is installed on the upper part of the front folding bracket. In use, after the paper exits the printing press, it is folded by the front folding unit and enters the transmission unit. In the transmission unit, it is sequentially indented by the first transmission roller, guided by the second transmission roller and the third transmission roller, and then enters the horizontal cutting unit. The central blade of the horizontal cutting unit can be raised and lowered, and can cut or not cut.

[0004] However, most existing folding machines only support fixed-size newspapers and magazines, making it difficult to adjust them according to the size of the newspapers and magazines. Moreover, most existing folding machines can only fold one newspaper at a time, making it difficult to fold multiple newspapers and magazines together. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a multi-purpose newspaper folding machine that can not only stack multiple layers of newspapers and magazines, making it convenient to fold multiple sets of newspapers and magazines at once, but also make it convenient to fold newspapers and magazines of different sizes, thus improving the applicability of the device.

[0006] This utility model discloses a multi-purpose newspaper folding machine, including a conveying mechanism; it also includes a traction mechanism, a clamping mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a pressing mechanism, and two sets of extrusion mechanisms. The traction mechanism is installed on the conveying mechanism and drives the clamping mechanism to move. The clamping mechanism is installed on the traction mechanism to clamp the newspaper. The lifting mechanism is installed on the conveying mechanism and drives the pressing mechanism to lift. The pressing mechanism is installed on the lifting mechanism and presses the newspaper. Both sets of extrusion mechanisms are installed on the conveying mechanism and press the newspaper. The conveying mechanism drives the newspaper forward. After the clamping mechanism clamps the newspaper, the traction mechanism drives the clamping mechanism to move. The traction mechanism drives the clamping mechanism to move back and forth to stack multiple pages of newspaper. Then, the pressing mechanism presses the multiple layers of newspaper. The lifting mechanism drives the pressing mechanism and the newspaper to lift, so that the sides of the newspaper naturally fold downwards. At the same time, the two sets of extrusion mechanisms extrude and shape the newspaper to ensure the folding effect.

[0007] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes a housing, a control box, multiple sets of first conveying rollers, second transmission rollers, and a ladder. The bottom of the housing is connected to the ground, the control box is mounted on the housing, the multiple sets of first conveying rollers are rotatably mounted on the housing, the second transmission rollers are rotatably mounted on the first conveying rollers, and the ladder is mounted on the housing. The operator controls the rotation of the multiple sets of first conveying rollers and second transmission rollers through the control box. The multiple sets of first conveying rollers drive the newspapers and magazines forward and deliver them to the ladder. The second transmission rollers drive the newspapers and magazines on the ladder to move forward and simultaneously tilt the newspapers and magazines up to facilitate clamping by the clamping mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the traction mechanism includes a motor, a first reducer, a reciprocating screw, and a first slider. The motor is mounted on the housing, and its output end is connected to the input end of the first reducer. The output end of the first reducer is connected to the input end of the reciprocating screw. The first slider is slidably mounted on the housing and is threadedly connected to the reciprocating screw. When the clamping mechanism clamps the newspaper, the motor is started. The motor drives the reciprocating screw to rotate through the first reducer. The reciprocating screw drives the first slider to move. The first slider drives the clamping mechanism and the newspaper to move forward. After the clamping mechanism releases the newspaper, the reciprocating screw drives the first slider to move in the opposite direction, making it convenient for the clamping mechanism to clamp the newspaper again, thereby stacking multiple sets of newspapers.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a support plate, a first servo motor, a rotating shaft, a clamping plate, and a protrusion. The support plate is mounted on a first slider, the first servo motor is mounted on the first slider, the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the first slider, and the power output end of the first servo motor is connected to the power input end of the rotating shaft. The clamping plate is mounted on the rotating shaft, and the protrusion is mounted on the clamping plate. After the top of the newspaper passes over the ladder, it hangs down naturally and rests on the support plate. The first servo motor is started, and the first servo motor drives the rotating shaft and the clamping plate to rotate downward. The clamping plate drives the protrusion to clamp the newspaper. The protrusion is designed to prevent the newspaper from being damaged.

The lead screw box is mounted on the chassis, the second servo motor is mounted on the chassis, the output end of the second servo motor is connected to the power input end of the second reducer, the power output end of the second reducer is connected to the power input end of the lead screw, the second slider is slidably mounted in the lead screw box and the second slider is connected to the lead screw via a threaded transmission, and the lifting rod is mounted on the second slider. The middle position of the newspaper is located on the lifting rod. The pressing mechanism cooperates with the lifting rod to press and fix the newspaper. The second servo motor is started, and the second servo motor drives the lead screw to rotate through the second reducer. The lead screw drives the second slider and the lifting rod to lift, causing the two ends of the newspaper to fold downwards.

[0011] Preferably, the pressing mechanism includes a mounting base, a first electric cylinder, and a pressing plate. The mounting base is mounted on the second slider, the first electric cylinder is mounted on the mounting base, and the top end of the pressing plate is connected to the bottom end of the first electric cylinder. When the first electric cylinder is activated, it pushes the pressing plate down. The pressing plate, in conjunction with the lifting rod, presses the middle position of the newspaper to prevent the newspaper from shifting during the lifting process of the lifting rod.

[0012] Preferably, the extrusion mechanism includes two sets of second electric cylinders, a connecting frame, and guide rollers. Both sets of second electric cylinders are mounted on the machine housing, the connecting frame is mounted on the top of the two sets of second electric cylinders, and the guide rollers are rotatably mounted on the connecting frame. The two extrusion mechanisms are mounted opposite each other on the machine housing. According to the thickness of the newspaper, the operator starts the two sets of second electric cylinders to push the connecting frame, so that the two sets of guide rollers are brought closer together. The newspaper is lifted, which drives the two sets of guide rollers to rotate. The two sets of guide rollers extrude and extrude the newspaper, so that the newspaper is folded and shaped.
