Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of book processing technology, specifically to a book cover flap machine with adjustable spacing. Background Technology
[0002] As a key piece of equipment in the bookbinding process, the flap folding machine is mainly used to fold the edges of the book cover inward to create a neat and aesthetically pleasing flap effect. This enhances the overall texture of the book, protects the contents, and facilitates reading and storage. However, in actual bookbinding production, existing flap folding machines have a prominent problem: insufficient adaptability to changes in book cover size. Most current flap folding machines have limited adjustment functions for the flap spacing. When faced with book covers of different sizes, it is often difficult to adjust to the appropriate flap spacing. For some hardcover books or special formats, the book cover size differs significantly from the standard size. When processing such book covers, traditional flap folding machines cannot flexibly adjust the spacing, resulting in inaccurate flap positions and inconsistent flap effects. Either the flap is too wide, affecting the overall aesthetics of the book, or the flap is too narrow, failing to effectively protect the book block, thus affecting the bookbinding quality. These flap folding machines with fixed spacing or inconvenient adjustment require a significant amount of time for equipment readjustment and setup when switching to produce book covers of different sizes. This not only reduces production efficiency but also increases production costs. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable book cover flap machine, including a base 1, a T-shaped worktable 2 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top of the base 1, a limiting groove 3 formed in the wall of the T-shaped worktable 2, and further including: an adjustment device 4, the outer wall of the adjustment device 4 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the base 1; a pushing device 5, the outer wall of the pushing device 5 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adjustment device 4; the adjustment device 4 includes a cylinder 41, a connecting rod 42 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cylinder 41, sliders 43 fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting rod 42, a bidirectional screw 45 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slider 43, a rotating disk 44 fixedly connected to both ends of the bidirectional screw 45, and a support frame 46 symmetrically threaded to the outer wall of the bidirectional screw 45. The cylinder 41 is fixed to the outer wall of the base 1 as a power source. When the cylinder 41 is started, the piston rod extends and retracts, causing the connecting rod 42 to slide in the limiting groove 3, thereby making the entire adjusting device 4 slide along the top of the base 1. The position can be adjusted according to actual needs. The sliders 43 at both ends of the connecting rod 42 are slidably connected to the bottom of the base 1 to ensure a smooth adjustment process. The inner wall of the slider 43 is rotatably connected to the bidirectional screw 45, and the rotating disks 44 fixed at both ends facilitate manual rotation of the bidirectional screw 45. When the bidirectional screw 45 is rotated, since its outer wall is symmetrically threaded to the support frame 46, according to the principle of thread transmission, the two support frames 46 will move towards or away from each other along the axial direction of the bidirectional screw 45, thereby flexibly adjusting the distance between the two support frames 46.
[0021] The outer wall of cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of base 1. The outer wall of connecting rod 42 is slidably connected to the inner wall of T-shaped worktable 2 through limiting groove 3. The outer wall of bottom of slider 43 is slidably connected to the outer wall of top of base 1. The outer wall of bottom of support frame 46 is slidably connected to the outer wall of connecting rod 42. The outer wall of support frame 46 is slidably connected to the outer wall of base 1.
[0022] The pushing device 5 includes a connecting plate 51. A servo motor 52 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom of the connecting plate 51. A connecting rod 53 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 52. A pushing block 54 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting rod 53. A guide block 55 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pushing block 54. A pressing block 56 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top of the guide block 55. A linkage rod 57 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the bottom of the pushing block 54.
[0023] The outer wall of the connecting plate 51 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame 46. The outer wall of the bottom of the servo motor 52 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame 46. The end of the linkage rod 57 away from the push block 54 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 51. The outer wall of the push block 54 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pressing block 56. The connecting plate 51 is fixed to the outer wall of the support frame 46, which serves as a connection and support. The servo motor 52, which is fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate 51, drives the connecting rod 53 to rotate after starting. The push block 54, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting rod 53, performs a rotary reciprocating motion under the drive of the connecting rod 53. The guide block 55 fixed to the outer wall of the push block 54 and the pressing block 56 at the top move synchronously. The other end of the linkage rod 57, which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the push block 54, is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 51 to ensure the stability of the movement of the push block 54. When it is necessary to perform a flap operation on the book cover, the servo motor 52 drives the connecting rod 53 to bring the pressing block 56 closer to the book and apply a pushing force to the book cover placed on the T-shaped worktable 2.
[0024] In use, the adjustable book cover flap machine is based on the base 1. Through the coordinated work of the adjustment device 4 and the push device 5, the flexible adjustment of the book cover flap spacing and the flap operation can be realized. The base 1 provides support for the entire equipment. The T-shaped worktable 2 fixed on the top is the platform for placing and processing the book cover. The limiting groove 3 opened in the wall of the T-shaped worktable 2 cooperates with the connecting rod 42 in the adjustment device 4 to play a guiding and limiting role.
[0025] The adjusting device 4 is the key part for achieving spacing adjustment. The cylinder 41 is fixed on the outer wall of the base 1 and serves as a power source. When the cylinder 41 is activated, the piston rod extends and retracts, causing the connecting rod 42 to slide in the limiting groove 3, thereby allowing the entire adjusting device 4 to slide along the top of the base 1. The position can be adjusted according to actual needs. The sliders 43 at both ends of the connecting rod 42 are slidably connected to the top of the base 1 at the bottom, ensuring a smooth adjustment process. The bidirectional screw 45 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slider 43, and the rotating disks 44 fixed at both ends facilitate manual rotation of the bidirectional screw 45. When the bidirectional screw 45 is rotated, the support frame 46 is symmetrically connected to its outer wall by threads. According to the thread transmission principle, the two support frames 46 will move in opposite directions or towards each other along the axial direction of the bidirectional screw 45, thereby flexibly adjusting the distance between the two support frames 46. This design allows the book cover flap machine to adapt to the processing needs of book covers of different sizes, improving the versatility and applicability of the equipment.
[0026] The pushing device 5 is installed on the support frame 46. The connecting plate 51 is fixed to the outer wall of the support frame 46, serving as a connection and support. The servo motor 52, fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate 51, drives the connecting rod 53 to rotate after starting. The pushing block 54, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting rod 53, performs a rotary reciprocating motion under the drive of the connecting rod 53. The guide block 55 fixed to the outer wall of the pushing block 54 and the pressing block 56 at the top move synchronously. The linkage rod 57, which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the pushing block 54, is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 51 at the other end, ensuring the stability of the movement of the pushing block 54. When it is necessary to perform a flap operation on the book cover, the servo motor 52 drives the connecting rod 53 to bring the pressing block 56 closer to the book, applying a pushing force to the book cover placed on the T-shaped worktable 2, folding up the edge of the book cover to complete the flap. After adjusting the spacing of the support frame 46 by the adjusting device 4, the pushing device 5 can perform flap operations on book covers at different positions, ensuring accurate flap position and consistent effect, improving the quality and efficiency of book cover flaps, and meeting diverse bookbinding needs.
