Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chain-type paper bowl technology, and in particular to a paper book manufacturing device. Background Technology

[0002] Taking Chuxiong, Yunnan as an example, in fragmented tobacco-growing areas, the regions suitable for tobacco cultivation are characterized by wide overall distribution, small individual areas, and inconvenient transportation between areas. Tobacco transplanting is still mainly done manually, supplemented by small semi-automatic transplanting machines. This results in low transplanting efficiency, and it is difficult to achieve efficient transplanting using large-scale transplanting machinery. Furthermore, the operation of semi-automatic transplanting machines requires a large number of personnel to manually feed the tobacco seedlings one by one into the machine. Prolonged operation leads to worker fatigue, often resulting in missed seedlings. Moreover, due to limitations in human physiological reaction speed, the transplanting speed is low, only about 1 seedling per second, only 2-5 times that of manual planting. This severely restricts the widespread application of transplanting machines and increases the burden of transplanting tobacco seedlings.

[0003] Chain-type paper pots are seeding containers that improve the transplanting efficiency of semi-automatic transplanting machinery. Existing chain-type paper pots can be applied to the cultivation of vegetables, flowers, and other crops. Chain-type paper pots come in two forms: paper chain and paper book. In the paper chain form, multiple individual paper pots are arranged according to the required plant spacing for the crop, facilitating transplanting and planting. In the paper book form, the continuous paper strip is folded to arrange the individual paper pots in at least two rows, making storage and seedling cultivation more convenient and significantly reducing the space required for storage and seedling cultivation. However, manually folding the chain-type paper pots from the paper chain form to the paper book form is time-consuming and labor-intensive, greatly limiting the application of chain-type paper pots.

[0004] Based on the above, there is an urgent need for a paper book manufacturing device to solve the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a papermaking device that can not only produce chain paper pots that meet the requirements of different crops, but also reduce the time and labor costs of producing chain paper pots.

[0023] Furthermore, downstream of the folding mechanism, a:

[0024] The second heating mechanism is used to dry the paper book.

[0025] Preferably, the first shaping mechanism, the second shaping mechanism, and the third shaping mechanism each include at least two tension rollers.

[0026] Preferably, both the first and second indentation mechanisms include a pressure roller, a pressure knife, and a pressure driving member. The pressure roller and the pressure knife are located on both sides of the continuous paper strip. The pressure driving member is connected to the pressure knife and can drive the pressure knife to move so as to press the continuous paper strip onto the pressure roller.

[0027] Preferably, both the first and second indentation mechanisms include a pressure roller, a pressure knife, a pressure roller, and a second rotation drive. The pressure knife is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the pressure roller and can press the continuous paper strip onto the pressure roller. The second rotation drive is used to drive the pressure roller to rotate.

[0028] Preferably, the folding blade assembly includes a first folding blade and a second folding blade, the first folding blade and the second folding blade are arranged along the width direction of the continuous paper strip, and the spacing between the first folding blade and the second folding blade is adjustable.

[0029] The first folding blade and the second folding blade have a first gap and a second gap, the first gap being less than the width of the continuous paper tape and the second gap being greater than the width of the continuous paper tape.

[0030] Preferably, the paper bonding mechanism includes a paper picking assembly and a first rotation drive. The paper picking assembly is used to pick up and move the paper, and the first rotation drive is used to rotate the paper picking assembly so that the paper picking assembly can bond the paper to both sides of the continuous paper strip.

[0057] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0058] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" 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. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0059] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0060] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," and "left," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0061] The following is based on the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 12 This invention introduces the paper book manufacturing apparatus provided by this utility model.

[0062] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the paper book manufacturing apparatus mainly includes a paper bonding mechanism 11, a glue spraying mechanism 12, and a folding mechanism 13. Among them, as... Figure 2 As shown, the paper bonding mechanism 11 can bond at least two paper pieces to a continuous paper strip to form a chain-like paper pot (for ease of description, the chain-like paper pot is simply referred to as paper chain 100). The two ends of the paper pieces are bonded to the continuous paper strip along its length, creating a cavity between the paper pieces and the continuous paper strip. This cavity, when unfolded, forms a single paper pot, which can be used to hold substrate and crop seedlings, facilitating seedling cultivation. By controlling the bonding spacing between adjacent paper pieces on the continuous paper strip, the spacing of the single paper pots can meet the plant spacing requirements of the crop. For example, in this embodiment, adjacent paper pieces are spaced approximately 50-60 cm apart to meet the planting requirements of flue-cured tobacco.

[0063] The glue spraying mechanism 12 can spray glue onto the paper chain 100, thereby fixing the chain paper bowl into a booklet shape after the subsequent folding process (for ease of description, the chain paper bowl in the booklet shape is simply referred to as the booklet). The folding mechanism 13 is used to realize the folding process, folding the paper chain 100 to form a booklet.

[0064] In this embodiment, the folding mechanism 13 includes a folding plate 131, a folding assembly 132, and two folding blade assemblies 133. The folding plate 131 is disposed below the folding assembly 132 and the folding blade assemblies 133. The folding assembly 132 and the two folding blade assemblies 133 are each connected to a folding drive assembly 134 to achieve positional movement. Taking the folding assembly 132 as an example, under the drive of the folding drive assembly 134, the folding assembly 132 can move in both horizontal and vertical directions. The folding assembly 132 includes a suction cup, and when the folding assembly 132 picks up the paper chain 100, it can move a portion of the paper chain 100, thereby mimicking manual folding to fold the paper chain 100.

[0065] The folding blade assembly 133 is also capable of moving in both horizontal and vertical directions, thereby cooperating with the folding assembly 132 to fold the paper chain 100. For example, as... Figure 4 As shown, the paper chain 100 is in a straight line before entering the folding assembly 132. At this time, both folding blade assemblies 133 are moved above the paper chain 100, and a portion of the paper chain 100 is pressed onto the folding plate 131 by one of the folding blade assemblies 133. Then, refer to... Figure 5 As shown, the folding assembly 132 is moved to the outside of the two folding blade assemblies 133, picking up another portion of the paper chain 100 and moving it. As... Figure 6 As shown, by moving the folding assembly 132 upwards and translating, another part of the paper chain 100 can be moved above the compressed part, thus making the paper chain 100 form a "Z" shape (or an inverted "Z" shape). Figure 7 As shown, due to the force applied to the paper chain 100, two bends are formed (for ease of discussion, the bend closer to the folding plate 131 is defined as the lower bend, and the bend farther from the folding plate 131 is defined as the upper bend). By controlling the length of the paper chain 100 pressed by the folding knife assembly 133 and the distance moved by the folding assembly 132, the paper chain 100 can be folded to a preset length, thereby folding the paper strip between the two individual paper bowls. This achieves the effect of tightly arranging multiple individual paper bowls and hiding the paper strip, thus transforming the chain paper bowl from a paper chain form to a paper book form, and also greatly reducing the volume of the chain paper bowl in the paper book form.

[0066] It should be noted that, in the two bends, the lower bend, due to the combined action of the folding assembly 132 and the folding blade assembly 133, allows its inner side to conform to the outer surface of the folding blade assembly 133, thus precisely controlling the folding direction. The upper bend, being farther from the folding blade assembly 133, is more prone to deviation in the folding direction. In this case, if... Figure 7 As shown, the folding blade assembly 133, located away from the lower bend, can be moved to the inside of the upper bend and then moved horizontally away from the other folding blade assembly 133. This allows the inside of the upper bend to also adhere to the outer surface of the folding blade assembly 133, thereby precisely controlling the folding direction. Finally, by moving the folding assembly 132 vertically, the multiple layers of paper chains 100 can be pressed together and fixed with glue to form a paper booklet.

[0067] The aforementioned paper-making apparatus can automatically bond and fold paper sheets and continuous paper strips to form paper books, reducing the manufacturing cost of chain-type paper pots and facilitating their widespread application. By controlling the bonding spacing of the paper sheets on the continuous paper strip, the spacing between the formed individual paper pots can meet the plant spacing requirements of specific crops. By controlling the moving distance of the folding knife assembly 133 and the folding assembly 132, the paper chain 100 can be folded according to various preset sizes, thereby enabling the paper chain 100 to be folded using at least one folding method. This achieves the effect of tightly arranging multiple individual paper pots and hiding the paper strips, greatly reducing the volume of the chain-type paper pot in paper book form.

[0068] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the paper bonding mechanism 11 includes a paper moving assembly 111, a paper suction assembly 112, and a first rotation drive 113. The paper moving assembly 111 includes at least two drive components (motors or cylinders are acceptable). The paper moving assembly 111, the first rotation drive 113, and the paper suction assembly 112 are sequentially connected, allowing the paper suction assembly 112 to move at least horizontally and vertically. The first rotation drive 113 can be a rotary motor used to rotate the paper suction assembly 112, changing the direction of the paper. The paper suction assembly 112 includes at least one suction cup, which is connected via a negative pressure pipe and a negative pressure generator, enabling the suction and fixation of the paper.

[0069] Paper sheets are stacked and stored near the paper bonding mechanism 11, which also includes an adhesive nozzle 114. After the paper sheets are picked up by the suction cup, the paper picking component 112 is moved by the paper moving component 111, so that the paper sheets are moved near the adhesive nozzle 114. Then, during the adhesive spraying process by the adhesive nozzle 114, the paper picking component 112 is moved so that the adhesive is evenly sprayed on the preset positions on the paper sheets, namely the two ends of the paper sheets. After spraying is completed, the first rotating drive component 113 moves the paper sheet with the adhesive side facing upwards or downwards, and correspondingly moves the paper sheet below or above the continuous paper strip. Then, the paper sheet is moved in a direction close to the continuous paper strip until the adhesive side of the paper sheet contacts the continuous paper strip, thus realizing the bonding process. Optionally, the paper bonding mechanism 11 also includes a bonding plate 115. During bonding, the paper suction assembly 112 presses the paper and the continuous paper strip onto the bonding plate 115 to improve the bonding quality.

[0070] Preferably, during the paper-piece bonding process, the paper pieces can be alternately bonded to both sides of the continuous paper strip. That is, the paper pieces are bonded continuously in a manner where one paper piece is bonded to one side of the continuous paper strip, and another adjacent paper piece is bonded to the other side, allowing individual paper pots to alternately form on both sides of the continuous paper strip. This bonding method ensures more balanced force distribution during the transformation of the chain-like paper pots from a paper book shape to a paper chain shape, thereby reducing the probability of seedling collapse and improving transplanting efficiency and success rate. Figure 10 As shown, the paper bonding mechanism 11 includes two bonding plates 115, one of which is used to bond paper pieces on one side of the continuous paper strip, and the other is used to bond paper pieces on the other side of the continuous paper strip.

[0071] like Figure 9 As shown, upstream of the paper bonding mechanism 11, a paper feeding mechanism 14 and a first shaping mechanism 15 are sequentially arranged. The paper feeding mechanism 14 includes a transfer roller, which can input the continuous paper strip, i.e., feed the continuous paper strip. The first shaping mechanism 15 includes at least two tension rollers, which can shape the continuous paper strip so that its length direction is aligned with the preset conveying direction, ensuring that the continuous paper strip does not deviate.

[0072] like Figure 9 As shown, a first heating mechanism 16 and a second shaping mechanism 17 are sequentially arranged between the paper bonding mechanism 11 and the glue spraying mechanism 12. The first heating mechanism 16 is used to heat-press and fix the bonding joint between the paper sheet and the continuous paper strip, thereby curing the glue and forming a better bonding and fixing effect, preventing the paper sheet and the continuous paper strip from separating during subsequent folding. The second shaping mechanism 17 also includes at least two tension rollers, which can shape the paper chain 100 so that the length direction of the paper chain 100 is in the same direction as the preset conveying direction, ensuring that the continuous paper strip does not deviate after bonding. Preferably, in this embodiment, two first heating mechanisms 16 are provided, which can simultaneously heat-press and fix the bonding joint between two paper sheets and the continuous paper strip.

[0073] Preferably, a first crease mechanism 18 is further provided upstream of the paper bonding mechanism 11. The first crease mechanism 18 is located between the first shaping mechanism 15 and the paper bonding mechanism 11, and can form at least two creases on the continuous paper strip. The creases can create weak points, facilitating subsequent folding. At the same time, the creases also serve as marks formed on the continuous paper strip, which can be used for production needs such as detection and error reporting.

[0074] For example, a second creasing mechanism 19 is provided between the second shaping mechanism 17 and the folding mechanism 13. The second creasing mechanism 19 is used to form at least two second creasing marks on the continuous paper tape. During normal continuous paper tape feeding, by setting the frequency and position of the creasing formation of the first creasing mechanism 18 and the second creasing mechanism 19, the first creasing mark and the second creasing mark can be made to overlap, thus avoiding the first creasing mark from disappearing or becoming insufficient to facilitate folding due to heating, shaping, or other reasons before the folding process. However, when the continuous paper tape feeding is abnormal, the positions of the first and second creasing marks will differ, resulting in significantly more creasing marks than expected on the continuous paper tape. By detecting the number or spacing of the creasing marks, it is possible to intuitively determine whether the continuous paper tape feeding has become abnormal, thereby facilitating detection.

[0075] Specifically, in some embodiments, both the first indentation mechanism 18 and the second indentation mechanism 19 include a pressure roller 181, a pressure knife 182, and a pressure driving member 184. The pressure roller 181 and the pressure knife 182 are located on both sides of the continuous paper tape, and the pressure driving member 184 is driven to the pressure knife 182 and can drive the pressure knife 182 to move in the vertical direction, thereby pressing the continuous paper tape onto the pressure roller 181 and forming the aforementioned indentation at the pressure point of the continuous paper tape.

[0076] Preferably, in this embodiment, such as Figure 11 As shown, both the first creasing mechanism 18 and the second creasing mechanism 19 include a pressure roller 181, a pressure knife 182, a pressure roller 183, and a second rotation drive 187. The pressure knife 182 is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the pressure roller 183 and can press the continuous paper strip onto the pressure roller 181. The second rotation drive 187 is used to drive at least one of the pressure roller 183 and the pressure roller 181 to rotate. When the pressure roller 183 and the pressure roller 181 rotate, the pressure knife 182 can abut against the continuous paper strip, thereby forming a creasing. By adjusting the rotation speed of the pressure roller 183 according to the distance between the two bends during folding, the distance between the two creasing points can be changed, so that the creasing is formed at the bend of the bend, facilitating an automated folding process.

[0077] Optionally, in this embodiment, the pressure roller 183 and the bearing roller 181 are connected by gear transmission. Both are mounted on a bracket 185, and the pressure roller 183 is vertically adjustable on the bracket 185, so that the distance between the pressure roller 183 and the bearing roller 181 is adjustable. The pressure driving component 184 is an adjusting bolt, which is rotatably mounted on the bracket 185 and connected to an adjusting block 186 located at the end of the pressure roller 183. By rotating the adjusting bolt, the distance between the pressure roller 183 and the bearing roller 181 can be adjusted vertically to form an indentation with appropriate pressure.

[0078] It should be noted that, since the folding blade assembly 133 needs to move from one side of the continuous paper strip to the other side during the folding process, the folding blade assembly 133 also needs to be able to move along the width direction of the continuous paper strip. For example, as... Figure 12 As shown, each folding blade assembly 133 includes a first folding blade 1331 and a second folding blade 1332, which are arranged along the width direction of the continuous paper strip. The spacing between the first folding blade 1331 and the second folding blade 1332 is adjustable, and there is a first gap and a second gap between them. The first gap is smaller than the width of the continuous paper strip, and the second gap is larger than the width of the continuous paper strip. When the first folding blade 1331 and the second folding blade 1332 are at the first gap, both the first folding blade 1331 and the second folding blade 1332 can abut against the continuous paper strip, thereby pulling the continuous paper strip and enabling folding. When the first folding blade 1331 and the second folding blade 1332 are at the second gap, the continuous paper strip can pass between the first folding blade 1331 and the second folding blade 1332, so that when the folding blade assembly 133 is adjusted relative to the continuous paper strip, it can avoid interference with the continuous paper strip.

[0079] Optionally, a third shaping mechanism 20 is provided between the second creasing mechanism 19 and the folding mechanism 13. The third shaping mechanism 20 is used to shape the paper chain 100. The third shaping mechanism 20 also includes at least two tension rollers, which can not only adjust the conveying direction of the paper chain 100, but also maintain the tension of the paper chain 100 itself during the folding process, thereby facilitating the folding process.

[0080] Furthermore, a second heating mechanism 21 is provided downstream of the folding mechanism 13. Similar to the first heating mechanism 16, the second heating mechanism 21 is also capable of drying. For example, the first heating mechanism 16 and the second heating mechanism 21 can use a hot air gun to dry the adhesive using air as the medium. Preferably, both the first heating mechanism 16 and the second heating mechanism 21 include a hot pressing plate. The hot pressing plate can heat itself and compress the chain-type paper tray, thereby simultaneously achieving both drying and pressing operations, i.e., a hot pressing process.

[0081] The paper book manufacturing apparatus includes, in sequence, a paper feeding mechanism 14, a first shaping mechanism 15, a first creasing mechanism 18, a paper bonding mechanism 11, a first heating mechanism 16, a second shaping mechanism 17, a second creasing mechanism 19, a third shaping mechanism 20, a glue spraying mechanism 12, a folding mechanism 13, and a second heating mechanism 21. The paper feeding mechanism 14 is used to input the continuous paper strip, i.e., to feed the continuous paper strip. The first shaping mechanism 15 is used to shape the continuous paper strip so that its length direction is aligned with the preset conveying direction, ensuring that the continuous paper strip does not deviate. The first creasing mechanism 18 is used to form at least two creasing marks on the continuous paper strip. These creasing marks facilitate subsequent folding and also serve as markers on the continuous paper strip for production needs such as detection and error reporting. The paper bonding mechanism 11 can bond at least two paper pieces to the continuous paper strip, forming a chain-like paper bowl in the form of a paper chain, and creating a cavity between the paper pieces and the continuous paper strip. Once the cavity is expanded, it forms a single paper pot, which can be used to hold substrate and crop seedlings, making seedling cultivation convenient.

[0082] The first heating mechanism 16 is located downstream of the paper bonding mechanism 11 and can heat-press and fix the bonding joint between the paper sheet and the continuous paper strip, thereby ensuring a firm bond between the paper sheet and the continuous paper strip. The second shaping mechanism 17 is used to perform the first shaping of the paper chain 100, correcting deviations caused by bonding the paper sheets and heat-pressing. The second creasing mechanism 19 can restore the aforementioned creasing, preventing the creases from disappearing due to heat pressing, shaping, and other processes. The third shaping mechanism 20 can perform the second shaping of the paper chain 100, ensuring that the paper chain 100 maintains the preset conveying direction after the creasing is restored. The glue spraying mechanism 12 can spray glue onto the paper chain 100, thereby fixing the chain paper tray into a booklet shape after the subsequent folding process. The folding mechanism 13 is used to realize the folding process, folding the paper chain 100 to form a booklet. The second heating mechanism 21 is located downstream of the folding mechanism 13 and can dry and shape the booklet.

Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model.
