Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of paper alignment technology for folding machines, and in particular to a rapid paper alignment adjustment device for folding machines. Background Technology

[0002] Folding machines are mainly used for folding various sizes and thicknesses of paper within the design range. They are suitable for high-volume folding in fast printing centers, manufacturing enterprises, official documents, and business letters. During the folding process, accurate paper alignment is crucial. If the paper is not properly aligned when it enters the folding machine, it may lead to inaccurate folding position, poor folding effect, or even paper damage and paper jams, affecting production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Existing paper alignment methods for folding machines mainly rely on operators manually stacking sheets of paper one by one and repeatedly tidying and tapping them to make the edges neat. This paper stacking and tidying process is time-consuming and severely restricts production efficiency. The accuracy of manual tidying is difficult to guarantee, and the neatness of the paper stacking is affected by factors such as the operator's experience and fatigue level. This can easily lead to problems such as paper skewing, paper jams, and crease misalignment during the operation of the folding machine. Therefore, we have introduced a new paper quick alignment and adjustment device for folding machines. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a paper quick alignment and adjustment device for a folding machine, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A paper quick alignment and adjustment device for a folding machine includes a storage box, an adjustment box fixedly connected to the upper end of the storage box, an adjustment groove on the upper end of the adjustment box, a U-shaped groove at the front end of the storage box, two guide grooves on the left front, right front, left rear, and right rear sides of the lower groove wall of the adjustment groove, a tapping mechanism fixedly installed on the left front, right front, left rear, and right rear rear ends of the adjustment box, an adsorption mechanism fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the storage box, a storage drawer at the front end of the storage box, and foot pads fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower end of the storage box.

[0007] Preferably, the tapping mechanism includes an electric push rod, the output end of which is fixedly mounted with a connecting strip. The upper and lower right ends of the connecting strip are both fixedly connected with connecting columns. The right ends of the two connecting columns are jointly fixedly connected with a tapping plate. The right end of the tapping plate is fixedly connected with a tapping pad. The lower front and lower rear ends of the tapping plate are both fixedly connected with guide columns. The lower ends of the two guide columns are each provided with movable grooves, and ball bearings are movably connected inside the two movable grooves.

[0008] Preferably, the electric push rod is fixedly installed on the left end of the adjustment box, the tapping plate is located inside the adjustment groove, and the lower end of the tapping plate does not contact the lower wall of the adjustment groove.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, precise alignment can be achieved by driving the tapping plate with an electric push rod, allowing the paper to enter the folding machine in a neat state and reducing the occurrence of paper jams.

[0010] Preferably, the two guide posts are slidably connected to the corresponding two guide grooves, and the two balls are slidably connected to the lower groove walls of the corresponding two guide grooves.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the tapping plate can maintain a stable displacement through the sliding of the guide column and the ball.

[0012] Preferably, the adsorption mechanism includes a fixing strip, a through connecting hole on the upper left side of the fixing strip, a connecting rod inserted and movably connected in the connecting hole, a suction cup fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting rod, and a threaded hole on the left side of the outer surface of the fixing strip, with a knob threadedly connected in the threaded hole.

[0013] Preferably, the right end of the fixing strip is fixedly connected to the storage box, and the end of the knob is tightly attached to the connecting rod.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the knob can be used to fix the connecting rod.

[0015] Preferably, the diameter of the connecting rod is the same as the diameter of the connecting hole, and the suction cup is located below the fixing strip.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, which uses suction cups for adsorption, the device can remain in its original position when subjected to certain external impacts, reducing unnecessary downtime for maintenance and improving overall production efficiency.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. By setting up a tapping mechanism, the papers that need to be adjusted and aligned are stacked inside the adjustment slot. By activating four electric push rods, the four tapping plates, carrying tapping pads, tap the stacked papers back and forth. After tapping, the four tapping pads come into contact with the stacked papers, allowing the opposing papers to be quickly aligned. Traditional manual paper stacking requires a lot of time for repeated sorting and tapping. However, the alignment method of electric push rod driving the tapping plates can quickly complete the paper alignment operation with one-button start, without the need for long-term manual intervention. In mass production scenarios, it can shorten the pre-processing time of the folding machine, reduce the idle time of the equipment, achieve continuous and efficient production, and improve the overall production efficiency of the enterprise. Moreover, the precise alignment achieved by the electric push rod driving the tapping plates allows the paper to enter the folding machine in a neat state, reducing the occurrence of paper jams. This not only avoids equipment failure and downtime losses caused by paper jams, but also reduces mechanical wear caused by frequent paper jams, extends the service life of the folding machine, and ensures the continuity and stability of the production process.

[0019] 2. By setting up an adsorption mechanism, the entire device is placed on the workbench. The connecting rod moves the suction cup downwards, and the connecting rod is fixed by a knob, allowing the suction cup to adhere to the workbench surface. This ensures that the entire device is fixed in place on the workbench. In workshops with frequent personnel movement and material handling, if the device is not reliably fixed, it is easy to shift or even slip due to accidental collisions or contact, leading to production interruptions. Adsorption by the suction cup allows the device to remain in place even when subjected to certain external impacts, reducing unnecessary downtime and improving overall production efficiency.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0029] A paper quick alignment and adjustment device for a folding machine includes a storage box 1, an adjustment box 2 fixedly connected to the upper end of the storage box 1, an adjustment groove 3 opened at the upper end of the adjustment box 2, a U-shaped groove 4 opened at the front end of the storage box 1, two guide grooves 5 opened at the left front, right front, left rear, and right rear sides of the lower groove wall of the adjustment groove 3, a tapping mechanism 6 fixedly installed at the left front, right front, left rear, and right rear rear ends of the adjustment box 2, an adsorption mechanism 7 fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the storage box 1, a storage drawer 8 provided at the front end of the storage box 1, and foot pads 9 fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower end of the storage box 1.

[0030] In this embodiment, the tapping mechanism 6 includes an electric push rod 61. A connecting strip 62 is fixedly installed at the output end of the electric push rod 61. A connecting post 63 is fixedly connected to the upper and lower parts of the right end of the connecting strip 62. A tapping plate 64 is fixedly connected to the right end of the two connecting posts 63. A tapping pad 65 is fixedly connected to the right end of the tapping plate 64. A guide post 66 is fixedly connected to the front and rear parts of the lower end of the tapping plate 64. A movable groove 67 is opened at the lower end of the two guide posts 66. A ball bearing 68 is movably connected inside the two movable grooves 67. The electric push rod 61 is fixedly installed at the left end of the adjustment box 2. The tapping plate 64 is located inside the adjustment groove 3, and the lower end of the tapping plate 64 does not contact the lower groove wall of the adjustment groove 3. The two guide posts 66 are slidably connected to the corresponding two guide grooves 5, and the two ball bearings 68 are slidably connected to the lower groove walls of the corresponding two guide grooves 5.

[0031] The above solution involves activating four electric push rods 61, which push the tapping plate 64 to move within the adjustment groove 3. Simultaneously, the guide column 66 slides within the corresponding guide groove 5, allowing the tapping plate 64 to maintain a stable displacement. The tapping plate 64, along with the tapping pad 65, can tap the paper back and forth, thereby enabling the paper to align quickly.

[0032] In this embodiment, the adsorption mechanism 7 includes a fixing strip 71. A through connecting hole 72 is provided on the upper left side of the fixing strip 71. A connecting rod 73 is movably connected through the connecting hole 72. A suction cup 74 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 73. A threaded hole 75 is provided on the left side of the outer surface of the fixing strip 71. A knob 76 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 75. The right end of the fixing strip 71 is fixedly connected to the storage box 1. The end of the knob 76 is in close contact with the connecting rod 73. The diameter of the connecting rod 73 is the same as the diameter of the connecting hole 72. The suction cup 74 is located below the fixing strip 71.

[0033] The above method involves placing the entire device on a workbench, moving the connecting rod 73 downwards along with the suction cup 74, and fixing the connecting rod 73 with the knob 76, so that the suction cup 74 adheres to the workbench surface, thereby allowing the entire device to be fixed in place on the workbench surface.

[0034] It should be noted that this utility model is a quick paper alignment and adjustment device for a folding machine. During use, after the entire device is placed stably on the worktable, the operator can control the connecting rod 73 to move the suction cup 74 downwards. After the suction cup 74 moves to the appropriate position, the knob 76 is rotated to fix the connecting rod 73, so that the suction cup 74 is tightly adsorbed to the worktable surface, thereby reliably limiting and fixing the entire device to the worktable surface. In the workshop environment, personnel walk frequently and material handling operations are continuous. If the device is not firmly fixed, it is easy to shift or even slip due to accidental collision or contact, resulting in interruption of the production process. However, with the adsorption effect of the suction cup 74, the device can still remain in place when subjected to a certain intensity of external force impact, reducing downtime caused by device displacement and improving overall production efficiency. When performing paper alignment and adjustment operations, the paper to be aligned is stacked and placed inside the adjustment slot 3. Then, the four electric push rods 61 are activated. Under the push of the electric push rods 61, the four tapping plates 64 drive the tapping pads 65 to reciprocate on the stacked paper. After the tapping action is completed, ensure that the four tapping pads 65 are in full contact with the stacked paper, so that the stacked paper can be quickly aligned. The aligned paper can be removed by the operator through the U-shaped groove 4. Compared with the traditional manual paper stacking method, which requires a lot of time for repeated sorting and tapping, this device uses an electric push rod 61 to drive the tapping plate 64 to achieve paper alignment. It can quickly complete the paper alignment operation with just one button start, without the need for long-term manual intervention. In the case of mass production, it shortens the preparation time of the folding machine and reduces the idle time of the equipment, realizing continuous and efficient operation of production and improving the overall production efficiency of the enterprise. In addition, the precise alignment of paper by the electric push rod 61 driving the tapping plate 64 ensures that the paper enters the folding machine in a neat state, reducing the probability of paper jams. This not only avoids equipment failure and downtime losses caused by paper jams, but also reduces mechanical wear caused by frequent paper jams, extends the service life of the folding machine, and ensures the continuity and stability of the production process.
