Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of paging technology, and in particular to an upward suction paging machine. Background Technology

[0002] As the name suggests, a collating machine is a feeding device that automatically feeds stacked single sheets of products, such as paper, cards, labels, and plastic bags / paper, one sheet at a time into subsequent processing equipment. As an indispensable and important component of printing and packaging equipment, it has become a common part of modern industry. However, most current collating mechanisms separate stacked materials gradually through friction belts and collators. Such structures are often complex, have poor performance, and are prone to overlapping, resulting in low collating efficiency and poor collating quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, or at least partially solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides an upward suction type paging machine.

[0004] This application provides a top-suction type collating machine, including:

[0005] The feeding platform has multiple material stoppers on its surface. All the feeding plates form a limiting space for placing materials. The feeding platform can move back and forth in a first direction to drive the material located in the limiting space to rise and fall.

[0006] The material suction mechanism includes a frame, a support plate, a connecting strip, a mounting frame, and multiple suction nozzles. The frame is located at the discharge end of the feeding platform. The support plate is mounted on the frame, and a circumferentially connected slide rail is formed on the surface of the support plate. The mounting frame is mounted on the end of the connecting strip near the feeding platform. All suction nozzles are mounted on the mounting frame and extend along the first direction, with the suction end of the suction nozzle facing the feeding platform. The connecting strip can move relative to the support plate along the trajectory of the slide rail to drive the suction nozzles to transport the suctioned material forward.

[0007] A conveying mechanism is provided at the discharge end of the feeding platform, and the frame is mounted on the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the suction mechanism further includes a slide bar and a slider. The slide bar is disposed on the surface of the support plate with a slide rail and extends along the second direction. The slider includes a first block and a second block connected to the first slider. The first block is slidably disposed on the slide bar, and the second block is slidably connected to the connecting strip so that the connecting strip can slide relative to the second block along the first direction.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the material suction mechanism further includes a movable column located between the support plate and the connecting strip. One end of the movable column extends into the slide rail and can slide along the track of the slide rail. The other end of the movable column is connected to the end of the connecting strip away from the feeding platform.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the width of the slide is greater than the diameter of the moving column.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the material feeding mechanism further includes a lifting assembly, which includes a fixed plate, a lead screw, a stepper motor, and a support frame. The fixed plate is disposed on one side of the feeding platform. The lead screw is connected along a first direction to the surface of the fixed plate opposite to the feeding platform. The stepper motor is slidably connected to the lead screw. The support frame extends along a second direction, and one end of the support frame passes through the fixed plate and is fixedly connected to the stepper motor. The lower surface of the feeding platform is fixedly connected to the support frame.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the lifting assembly further includes a moving rail and a moving block. The moving rail is fixed along the first direction to the surface of the fixed plate opposite to the feeding table and is located outside the lead screw. The moving block is slidably connected to the moving rail, and a motor mounting plate is connected to the moving block. The motor mounting plate is connected to the stepper motor.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the baffle includes a baffle plate and a connecting block connected to the lower part of the baffle plate. The connecting block is placed on the feeding platform and can move on the feeding platform to adjust the size of the limiting space.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the feeding platform is made of metal, and the connecting block has a magnetic block embedded in it, so that the feeding platform can be detachably connected to the feeding platform.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the mounting bracket includes a first mounting strip extending in a second direction and a second mounting strip extending in a third direction, one end of the second mounting strip being connected to the first mounting strip, and both the first and second mounting strips having suction nozzles extending in the first direction fixed on them.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the top-suction piecing machine further includes a receiving mechanism located at the discharge end of the conveying mechanism for receiving the piecing material.

[0017] The technical solutions provided in this application have the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0018] The material to be separated is stacked in the limiting space. Then, the connecting strip is driven to move relative to the support plate along the track of the slide, so that the mounting frame moves closer to the feeding table in the first direction. Since the mounting frame is equipped with multiple suction nozzles, the suction nozzles are driven to the top one stacked in the limiting space. Then, the connecting strip is driven to move along the track of the slide, so that the suction nozzle moves away from the feeding table and places the material sucked by the suction nozzles onto the conveying mechanism. The material in the limiting space is sucked up alternately in this way, so as to separate the stacked material. The structure is simple and highly automated. Compared with the traditional pager and friction belt page separation method, it can effectively avoid the phenomenon of double-sheeting and has a good page separation effect.

[0028] It should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, terms such as "installation," "connection," "joining," "fixing," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. When an component is referred to as being "on" or "below" another component, the component can be located "directly" or "indirectly" on the other component, or there may be one or more intermediary components. The terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are only for the convenience of describing this technical solution and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first," "second," "third," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] In the following description, specific details such as particular system structures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention can be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides an upward suction type page separator, which includes a feeding platform 10, a suction mechanism 30 and a conveying mechanism 40. The surface of the feeding platform 10 is provided with a plurality of material blocking elements 20. All the feeding plates form a limiting space A for placing materials. The feeding platform 10 can move back and forth along the first direction X to drive the material located in the limiting space A to rise and fall. The material suction mechanism 30 includes a frame 31, a support plate 32, a connecting strip 33, a mounting frame 34, and multiple suction nozzles 35. The frame 31 is located at the discharge end of the discharge platform 10. The support plate 32 is mounted on the frame 31, and a circumferentially connected slide rail 32a is formed on the surface of the support plate 32. The mounting frame 34 is mounted on the end of the connecting strip 33 near the discharge platform 10. All suction nozzles 35 are mounted on the mounting frame 34 and extend along the first direction X, with the suction end of the suction nozzle 35 facing the discharge platform 10. The connecting strip 33 can move relative to the support plate 32 along the trajectory of the slide rail 32a to drive the suction nozzles 35 to transport the suction material forward. The conveying mechanism 40 is located at the discharge end of the discharge platform 10, and the frame 31 is mounted on the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism 40.

[0031] In this embodiment, the top-suction piecing machine stacks the material to be pieced in the limiting space A. Then, the connecting bar 33 is driven to move relative to the support plate 32 along the track of the slide 32a, so that the mounting frame 34 moves closer to the feeding table 10 in the first direction X. Since multiple suction nozzles 35 are installed on the mounting frame 34, the suction nozzles 35 are driven to suck up the topmost material stacked in the limiting space A. Then, the connecting bar 33 is driven to move along the track of the slide 32a, so that the suction nozzles 35 move away from the feeding table 10, and the material sucked up by the suction nozzles 35 is placed on the conveying mechanism 40. The material in the limiting space A is sucked up alternately in this way, thereby realizing the separation of the stacked material. The structure is simple and the degree of automation is high. Compared with the traditional piecing machine and friction belt piecing method, it can effectively avoid the phenomenon of double-sheeting and has a good piecing effect.

[0032] Furthermore, as the suction nozzle 35 continuously feeds the material, the discharge platform 10 continuously rises along the first direction X to avoid any distance difference between the suction nozzle 35 and the material on the discharge platform 10, ensuring that the suction nozzle 35 can pick up the material on the discharge platform 10. It should be noted that the power source driving the discharge platform 10 to rise and fall can be a commonly used power source in the prior art, or it can adopt the structure described in the following embodiments; there is no limitation on this.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, the first direction X and the second direction Y are defined for the convenience of describing the positional relationship of the components. Specifically, the feeding platform 10 can be used as a reference. The first direction X refers to the height direction of the feeding platform 10 (specifically, refer to...). Figure 1 The X direction in the diagram refers to the direction of the material feeding platform 10, and the second direction Y refers to the length direction of the platform (see reference for details). Figure 1 Y direction in ).

[0034] It should be noted that the slide 32a in this embodiment is composed of two symmetrical vertical sections and two horizontal sections connected together, so that the connecting strip 33 can slide along the closed slide 32a, ensuring that the suction nozzle 35 can drive the suction material to be transported to the conveying mechanism 40.

[0035] For example, the power component that drives the connecting bar 33 to move along the track can be a combination of a motor and a connecting rod as in the prior art, or other driving methods can be used, which are not limited.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the suction mechanism 30 further includes a slide bar 36 and a slider 37. The slide bar 36 is disposed on the surface of the support plate 32 where the slide rail 32a is provided and extends along the second direction Y. The slider 37 includes a first block 371 and a second block 372 connected to the first slider 37. The first block 371 is slidably disposed on the slide bar 36, and the second block 372 is slidably connected to the connecting strip 33, so that the connecting strip 33 can slide relative to the second block 372 along the first direction X. That is, by providing a slide bar 36 extending along the second direction Y on the surface of the support plate 32, and slidably connecting the slider 37 on the slide bar 36, and the slider 37 including the connected first block 371 and second block 372, the first slider 37 can slide along the second direction Y on the slide bar 36, and the connecting strip 33 can slide relative to the second block 372 along the first direction X, it is ensured that the connecting strip 33 moves in a predetermined direction, avoiding deviations during movement that could lead to incomplete suction and poor suction effect.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the material suction mechanism 30 further includes a movable column 38 located between the support plate 32 and the connecting bar 33. One end of the movable column 38 extends into the slide rail 32a and can slide along the track of the slide rail 32a. The other end of the movable column 38 is connected to the end of the connecting bar 33 away from the discharge table 10. That is, by setting the movable column 38 between the support plate 32 and the connecting bar 33, and extending one end of the movable column 38 into the slide rail 32a, and connecting the other end of the connecting bar 33 away from the discharge table 10, the movable column 38 can move along the track of the slide rail 32a, thereby driving the connecting bar 33 to move back and forth, thus realizing the suction of material in the confined space A.

[0038] In one possible implementation, the width of the slide 32a is greater than the diameter of the movable column 38. This ensures that the movable column 38 can slide along the trajectory of the slide 32a, preventing the movable column 38 from slipping out of the slide 32a during the sliding process, which would prevent the subsequent transport of the adsorbed material.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the material suction mechanism 30 further includes a lifting assembly 60, which includes a fixed plate 61, a lead screw 62, a stepper motor 63, and a support frame 64. The fixed plate 61 is disposed on one side of the feeding platform 10. The lead screw 62 is connected to the surface of the fixed plate 61 away from the feeding platform 10 along a first direction X. The stepper motor 63 is slidably connected to the lead screw 62. The support frame 64 extends along a second direction Y, and one end of the support frame 64 passes through the fixed plate 61 and is fixedly connected to the stepper motor 63. The lower surface of the feeding platform 10 is fixedly connected to the support frame 64.

[0040] In practical applications, during the process of the suction nozzle 35 alternately sucking up the materials stacked in the confined space A, the stepper motor 63 starts to slide on the lead screw 62. Since the support frame 64 is fixedly connected to one end of the stepper motor 63, and the lower surface of the feeding platform 10 is fixedly connected to the support frame 64, the feeding platform 10 is driven to move upward, thereby ensuring that the suction nozzle 35 can suck up the materials in the confined space A.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the lifting assembly 60 further includes a moving rail 65 and a moving block 66. The moving rail 65 is fixed along the first direction X to the surface of the fixed plate 61 away from the feeding table 10 and is located outside the lead screw 62. The moving block 66 is slidably connected to the moving rail 65, and a motor mounting plate is connected to the moving block 66. The motor mounting plate is connected to the stepper motor 63. That is, by setting the moving rail 65 on the surface of the fixed plate 61 away from the feeding table 10, and slidably connecting the moving block 66 connected to the motor mounting plate on the moving rail 65, and connecting the motor mounting plate to the stepper motor 63, the stepper motor 63 drives the motor mounting plate to reciprocate, thereby driving the feeding table 10 to move. This helps to ensure the smooth movement of the feeding table 10 and avoids shaking that would affect the paging effect.

[0042] In one possible implementation, the baffle 20 includes a baffle plate 21 and a connecting block 22 connected to the lower part of the baffle plate 21. The connecting block 22 is placed on the feeding platform 10 and can move on the feeding platform 10 to adjust the size of the limiting space A. That is, by setting the connecting block 22 at the lower part of the baffle plate 21 and using the connection between the connecting block 22 and the feeding platform 10, a limiting space A is defined on the feeding platform 10. Since the connecting block 22 can move on the feeding platform 10, the size of the limiting space A can be adjusted according to the different sizes of the material to accommodate materials of different sizes.

[0043] Specifically, the feeding platform 10 is made of metal, and the connecting block 22 has a magnet 70 embedded in it, so that the feeding platform 10 can be detachably connected to the feeding platform 10. In this way, the magnetic attraction of the magnet 70 is cleverly used to adjustably connect the baffle plate 21 to the feeding platform 10, thereby allowing the size of the limiting space A to be adjusted to accommodate materials of different sizes.

[0044] In one possible implementation, the mounting bracket 34 includes a first mounting strip extending along a second direction Y and a second mounting strip extending along a third direction. One end of the second mounting strip is connected to the first mounting strip, and a suction nozzle 35 extending along a first direction X is fixed on both the first and second mounting strips.

[0045] For example, the first mounting strip and the second mounting strip can be manufactured using an integral molding process, or the first mounting strip and the second mounting strip can form two separate structures, that is, the first mounting strip and the second mounting strip are formed separately and then connected to form the mounting frame 34. Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting frame 34 is formed using an integral molding process so that the first mounting strip and the second mounting strip are a single piece, which eliminates the need for a connection between the first mounting strip and the second mounting strip and ensures the structural strength of the mounting frame 34.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the top-suction collating machine further includes a receiving mechanism 50, which is located at the discharge end of the conveying mechanism 40 and is used to collect the collated material. It should be noted that the collated material continues to move towards the receiving mechanism 50 under the action of the conveying mechanism 40, and then is collected by the receiving mechanism 50. This high degree of automation significantly reduces the labor intensity of workers and improves processing efficiency.

[0047] 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 substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
