Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bookbinding, and more particularly to a paper feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Bookbinding is the core process of fixing scattered single or multiple pages into a book according to a preset order and structure using specific techniques, tools or equipment, forming a complete and stable paper product such as a book, album, or manual.

[0003] The bookbinding process involves multiple steps. One of these steps involves manually placing the pages into the paper feeding mechanism, which is then pushed to the designated position on the binding mechanism by a pusher plate. This paper feeding method is relatively flexible, does not require large equipment, and has a low cost. However, during the pusher plate's operation, if there are few or thin pages, the paper's own weight is insufficient to support the stable pushing of the paper. Due to inertia, the paper may slip or become misaligned. Once misalignment occurs, manual intervention is required to re-align the pages and push them again, which is quite inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a paper feeding mechanism to solve the problem of paper slippage and misalignment due to inertia in the aforementioned technical solutions. A paper feeding mechanism includes a mounting frame, a base plate inside the mounting frame, a flat linear motor on the top of the base plate, a pusher plate detachably connected to the outer wall of the flat linear motor, a limit plate fixedly connected to the side of the base plate away from the pusher plate, a fixed edge assembly on the base plate, and a clamping assembly on the base plate. The clamping assembly includes an electric push plate, an upper clamping plate, an electric telescopic rod, and a lower clamping plate. The outer wall of the fixed end of the electric push plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pusher plate, the outer wall of the telescopic end of the electric push plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper clamping plate, the top of the upper clamping plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric telescopic rod, and the top of the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower clamping plate.

[0005] The edge-fixing assembly includes a first edge-fixing plate, an extension rod, a sliding rod, and a second edge-fixing plate. The top of the base plate is slidably connected to the bottom of the first edge-fixing plate. The top of the mounting frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed end of the extension rod. The telescopic end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding rod. The outer wall of the sliding rod is slidably connected to the second edge-fixing plate. By setting the edge-fixing assembly, multiple pages can be neatly arranged.

[0006] The second edge plate is fixedly connected to a first magnetic plate on the side near the extension rod, and the bottom end of the first edge plate is fixedly connected to a second magnetic plate. By setting the first magnetic plate and the second magnetic plate, the first edge plate and the second edge plate are stabilized, and the first edge plate and the second edge plate are prevented from shaking when the pusher plate pushes the paper, thereby avoiding affecting the paper pushing efficiency.

[0007] The top of the upper clamping plate is fixedly connected to a first soft pad, and the bottom of the lower clamping plate is fixedly connected to a second soft pad. By setting the first soft pad and the second soft pad, the paper is protected and the paper is prevented from being damaged when the lower clamping plate and the upper clamping plate clamp the paper.

[0008] A baffle is fixedly connected to the top of the upper clamping plate. The baffle is slidably connected to the lower clamping plate. By setting the baffle, the edge of the paper is blocked, so as to avoid the paper from becoming uneven when clamped.

[0009] A positioning plate is fixedly connected to the top of the side of the base plate away from the first edge fixing plate. The side of the positioning plate away from the push plate is attached to the side of the limiting plate. By setting the positioning plate, the paper is blocked, so as to avoid the paper being uneven when fixing the edge.

[0010] A support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pusher plate. The support plate is slidably connected to the base plate. By setting the support plate, the paper is supported, and the paper is prevented from bending when being pushed, thereby avoiding affecting the push of the support.

[0011] In summary, by setting up clamping components, the spines of book pages can be clamped and released, thereby ensuring that the pages remain neat during transport. At the same time, clamping can lock the spine position of the pages, thereby improving the connection accuracy between paper feeding and binding. Furthermore, it can reduce manual intervention during paper transport, thus improving the efficiency of the paper feeding process.

[0012] By setting a fixed-edge component, multiple pages can be aligned neatly, thus pre-aligning the paper edges and reducing the risk of misalignment during clamping and pushing from the source. This enhances error prevention capabilities and avoids positional shifts when the clamping component clamps the paper. Attached Figure Description
