[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0029] The following is combined Figures 1 to 5 The embodiments of this utility model are described below.

[0030] The book assembly production line in this embodiment includes: a frame 1, on which a single-page processing equipment assembly 2 and a paper lamination conveyor line 3 are provided. The single-page processing equipment assembly 2 includes: a transfer conveyor belt 21 provided on the frame 1, and a discharge device 22 for sending out paper pages, an opening device 23 for converting the sent out folded paper pages into flattened paper pages, a aligning device 24 for positioning the flattened paper pages, a cutting device 25 for cutting the flattened paper pages, a hinge device 26 for converting the flattened paper pages back into folded paper pages, a turning device 27 for making the crease side of the folded paper pages face the direction of movement, and an adhesive printing device 28 for printing adhesive on the top side of the folded paper pages.

[0031] The paper lamination conveyor line 3 is used to receive and stack the paper sheets sent out by the printing adhesive device 28.

[0032] This book assembly line provides a feasible solution for improving the automation of the book assembly line by configuring a single-page processing equipment group and a paper page mounting and conveying line 3. Using folded paper pages as input materials is more in line with the flow needs of the paper page production process.

[0033] The discharging device 22 includes a storage trough 221 mounted on the frame 1 and a discharging conveyor belt 222 located at the bottom of the storage trough 221. The storage trough 221 is used to stack folded paper sheets, and the discharging conveyor belt 222 is used to output the stacked folded paper sheets individually. In use, the storage trough 221 contains folded paper sheets, and the discharging conveyor belt 222 supports the paper sheets in the storage trough 221. The discharging conveyor belt 222 contacts the paper sheet at the lowest end of the storage trough 221. When the discharging conveyor belt 222 moves, the paper sheet at the lowest end is sent out, thereby realizing the separation of paper sheets individually from the storage trough 221. To prevent the discharge conveyor belt 222 from carrying away paper sheets other than the lowest sheet during discharge, a paper limiting element is installed in the discharge direction of the storage trough 221. This limiting element extends along the stacking direction of the storage trough 221, and a feeding gap is left between the bottom of the limiting element and the discharge conveyor belt 222 for paper sheet delivery. Thus, when the discharge conveyor belt 222 starts, the lowest sheet can be conveyed, while the remaining sheets are restrained by the limiting element, ensuring that the discharge conveyor belt 222 can output one sheet at a time. In use, folded paper sheets are stacked in the stacking trough; to deliver a single folded paper sheet, simply start the discharge conveyor belt 222.

[0034] The folded paper sheets that are then fed out need to be unfolded, and the unfolding action is achieved by an unfolding device.

[0035] The opening device includes a baffle 231 located downstream of the discharge device 22, an opening suction cup 232 for opening the folded paper, an opening driver 233 for driving the suction cup to rise and fall, an opening rod 234 for driving the folded paper to open along the transfer conveyor belt 21, and an opening driver 235 for driving the opening rod 234 to extend into the opening of the folded paper. In use, the baffle 231 intercepts the folded paper sent out by the discharge device 22, achieving positioning of the folded paper. The opening driver 233 drives the suction cup to attract and lift the edge of the paper, while the opening driver 235 drives the opening rod 234 to extend into the opening of the folded paper to perform an expansion action, turning the folded paper into a flattened paper. Using this method to open the paper reduces the marks caused to the paper.

[0036] After the folded paper is unfolded, it is transformed into a flattened paper. Before the flattened paper is die-cut, it needs to be precisely positioned. Precise positioning is achieved by the alignment device 24.

[0037] The alignment device 24 includes four alignment plates, each of which is driven by an alignment driver that is inclined upward relative to the transfer conveyor belt 21. The alignment driver, when in operation, extends the alignment plate upward over the surface of the transfer conveyor belt 21, simultaneously pushing and positioning the alignment plate onto the flattened paper sheet conveyed to the alignment area by the transfer conveyor belt 21. After aligning the flattened paper sheet, the alignment driver retracts, causing the alignment plate to return to below the transfer conveyor belt 21, clearing a path for the flattened paper sheet to continue moving along the transfer conveyor belt 21.

[0038] After the flattened paper sheet is precisely positioned, to improve the positioning accuracy of the flattened paper sheet as it is fed into the die-cutting device 25, the single-sheet processing equipment assembly 2 further includes a positioning transfer device 29. The positioning transfer device 29 is used to position and transfer the flattened paper sheet fed from the alignment device 24 to the die-cutting device 25. By configuring the positioning transfer device 29, the position of the flattened paper sheet is more precise when transferred to the die-cutting device 25.

[0039] The positioning and transfer device 29 includes a transfer linear driver mounted on the frame 1, a suction cup lifting driver driven by the transfer linear driver, and a transfer suction cup group driven by the suction cup lifting driver. There are two or more transfer suction cup groups, and all transfer suction cups are driven by the transfer linear driver. This device is responsible for the precise positioning and transfer of flattened paper sheets. In use, the transfer linear driver triggers two or more groups of transfer suction cups to adsorb the flattened paper sheet. Subsequently, the transfer linear driver coordinates the suction cups to achieve a smooth movement process, which improves the positioning accuracy of the flattened paper sheet entering the die-cutting device 25. After being positioned by the alignment device 24, the flattened paper sheet is precisely placed on the transfer conveyor belt 21, directly below one group of transfer suction cups. At this time, the suction cup lifting driver drives the transfer suction cup group to move downwards to adsorb one side of the flattened paper sheet (the side outside the die-cutting device 25). Then, the transfer linear driver is activated to move the flattened paper sheet along the conveying direction of the transfer conveyor belt 21, so that the side of the flattened paper sheet to be die-cut accurately enters the die-cutting device 25.

[0040] Next, the flattened paper is cut by the punching device 25 according to the template installed on the punch. After punching, multiple cut seams are formed on the flattened paper, and the closed areas formed between the cut seams are the individual puzzle pieces.

[0041] In this embodiment, the book assembly line also includes a waste removal mechanism 251, located between the die-cutting device 25 and the printing device 28. The waste removal mechanism 251 is used to peel waste material from the die-cut paper sheets. In use, the die-cut, flattened paper sheets are moved to the waste removal mechanism 251 via a transfer conveyor belt 21. The waste material that needs to be separated from the flattened paper sheets is impacted to ensure complete separation. Specifically, the waste removal mechanism 251 includes a waste removal head 2511 and a waste removal driver 2512 that drives the head towards the paper sheets. The die-cut, flattened paper sheets are conveyed by the transfer conveyor belt 21 to a position below the waste removal head 2511. The waste removal driver 2512 drives the waste removal head 2511 to impact the flattened paper sheets, thus removing the waste material and separating it from the paper sheets.

[0042] The flattened paper is then conveyed by the transfer conveyor belt 21 to the hinge device 26, where it is closed and refolded. The hinge device includes a hinge bar 261 that extends downwards at an angle, with its bottom end extending slightly below the surface of the transfer conveyor belt 21. The transfer conveyor belt 21 transports the flattened paper to the hinge bar 261, and the side of the flattened paper that contacts the hinge bar 261 is guided by the hinge bar 261 to flip to the other side, refolding the paper.

[0043] Subsequently, the folded paper is conveyed by transfer conveyor belt 21 to the downstream turning device 27. The turning device 27 turns the folded paper so that the crease direction of the folded paper is consistent with its conveying direction. Specifically, the arrangement of the turning device 27 is as follows:

[0044] The steering device 27 includes an upper turntable, a lifting drive, a steering motor, and a steering rod 271. The upper turntable and the steering rod 271 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the transfer conveyor belt 21. The transfer conveyor belt 21 has a clearance notch for the steering rod 271 to extend out. The upper turntable is rotatably mounted on the frame 1. The lifting drive is mounted on the frame 1. The steering motor is mounted on the operating end of the lifting drive. The steering rod 271 is fixedly connected to the operating end of the lifting drive. When the folded paper is conveyed to the area of ​​the steering device 27, the folded paper is located between the upper turntable and the steering rod 271. The steering rod 271 moves to push the folded paper away from the transfer conveyor belt 21 and clamps the folded paper together with the upper turntable. Then, the steering motor starts to drive the folded paper to turn. After turning, the lifting drive drives the steering rod 271 to move down, and the turned folded paper is placed back on the belt surface of the transfer conveyor belt 21.

[0045] The book assembly line also includes a stacking device 2a, which is located between the turning device 27 and the printing device 28. The stacking device 2a is used to stack and temporarily store folded pages. This device handles the buffering and temporary storage needs of the paper pages. In use, the stacking device 2a receives the turned folded pages and performs an alignment and stacking action to form a temporary storage pile, serving as a buffer between different production cycles. Specifically, the stacking device 2a can adopt the same structure as the discharge device 22, that is, the stacking device 2a includes a stacking trough, and a stacking output conveyor belt is provided on the bottom side of the stacking trough. The turned folded pages are put into the stacking trough by the transfer conveyor belt 21 for stacking.

[0046] Subsequently, the stacking output conveyor belt outputs the folded paper sheets to another transfer conveyor belt 21, which then outputs them to the glue printing device 28 for glue printing. The glue printing device 28 can be any existing device capable of glue transfer printing. In this embodiment, the glue printing device 28 includes a glue roller, a glue tank, and a template roller. A glue printing template is fixed on the template roller, a glue inlet is opened at the lower end of the glue tank, the glue roller is located at the glue inlet, and a glue trough for receiving glue is opened on the glue roller and the glue printing template on the template roller. During operation, the template roller and the glue roller rotate simultaneously. The glue entering the glue trough is transferred to the glue printing template by the glue roller, and at the same time, the template roller transfers the glue onto the folded paper sheets conveyed to the transfer area by the transfer conveyor belt 21, thereby realizing the glue application operation on the folded paper sheets.

[0047] Furthermore, the single-page processing equipment assembly 2 also includes a pushing device 2b, which is located between the glue-printing device 28 and the paper laminating conveyor line 3. The pushing device 2b is used to push the glued folded pages onto the paper laminating conveyor line 3. The glued folded pages are pushed onto the paper laminating line by the pushing device 2b.

[0048] The paper laminating conveyor line 3 includes a first limiting plate 31, a second limiting plate 32, and a width adjustment mechanism. The width adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the distance between the first limiting plate 31 and the second limiting plate 32. By configuring the width adjustment mechanism, the paper laminating conveyor line 3 can adapt to paper sheets with different widths along the width direction of the paper laminating conveyor line 3. Specifically, in this embodiment, the paper laminating conveyor line 3 also includes a tray, a pusher flag, and a chain mechanism. The tray has a channel in the middle for the pusher flag to move. The pusher flag is fixed on the chain of the chain mechanism. When the chain mechanism is started, the chain mechanism drives the pusher flag to move cyclically along the tray through the chain.

[0049] In this embodiment, multiple single-page processing equipment combinations 2 can be arranged. Configuring multiple single-page processing equipment combinations 2 enables the punching of multiple pages of a book. After punching, the pages are pushed onto a tray by the pushing device 2b in a folded state (i.e., folded paper pages), and then pushed away by the pusher flag. As the pusher flag moves sequentially to the positions of each single-page processing equipment combination 2, the paper pages are continuously stacked on the paper page mounting conveyor line 3, thereby forming a book block or book composed of multiple folded paper pages.
