Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of archives management technology, specifically to a manual auxiliary paper folding device. Background Technology

[0002] In archival management, to protect internal documents and facilitate retrieval, it is usually necessary to create uniform covers, back covers, and spines for file boxes or booklets. These covers are often made of stiff kraft paper, colored paper, or specialty cover paper, and require precise folding to match the size of the file box. The folding of file covers mainly relies on manual folding, that is, measuring with a ruler, marking on the paper, and then folding.

[0003] First, manual measurement and marking not only makes it difficult to guarantee accuracy, resulting in skewed and asymmetrical covers with non-parallel fold lines, severely affecting the neatness of the archives' appearance, but also heavily relies on the operator's skill level. Second, when folding by hand, one hand needs to constantly press down on the paper to fix its position while the other hand performs the folding operation, which is inefficient and makes it difficult to ensure the consistency of folding covers within the same batch. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a manual auxiliary origami device to solve the problems of difficulty in ensuring neat appearance and low efficiency in manual origami.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: Manual origami aids, including: The first base has an upper surface and a lower surface, and the upper surface is provided with multiple reference lines; The second base protrudes from the edge of the lower surface of the first base to form a stepped portion together with the first base; Multiple positioning components are disposed on the stepped portion and protrude from the upper surface of the first base to form a stop surface and together with the upper surface to form a reference point; At least two of the multiple positioning components are arranged in two mutually perpendicular directions, and at least one of them is provided with a counterweight that allows gravity to press the paper against the upper surface of the first base.

[0006] Furthermore, the counterweight is pulled by a connecting rope, which is located on a corresponding positioning component.

[0007] Furthermore, at least one positioning component has a cavity in which the connecting rope can be stored.

[0008] Furthermore, a drum is rotatably disposed within the cavity, and the connecting rope is wound around the drum.

[0009] Furthermore, one end of the reel extends out of the cavity and is provided with a rotating handle.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning component is provided with an opening for communicating with the cavity, the inner wall of the opening is narrowed in the direction away from the cavity, and the connecting rope can pass through the opening.

[0011] Furthermore, the counterweight is provided with a hanging ring, and the corresponding positioning component is provided with a hook, so that the hanging ring is hung on the hook.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the counterweight is provided with an anti-slip pad.

[0013] Furthermore, multiple baselines are arranged in an array along two mutually perpendicular directions.

[0014] Compared to existing technologies, this invention offers the following advantages: At least two positioning components form two mutually perpendicular planes through their stop surfaces, providing positioning references for the cover paper in two directions. Combined with the upper surface of the first base, reference points can be formed, allowing for rapid and accurate positioning simply by overlapping the adjacent sides of the cover paper at these reference points. Simultaneously, the reference lines on the upper surface of the first base provide visual crease markings, ensuring the consistency of the produced cover paper's appearance and reducing reliance on operator experience. Furthermore, the counterweight can use its own weight to press the cover paper firmly, preventing displacement and eliminating the need for operator pressure, thus improving folding efficiency.

[0017] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments: In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the manual auxiliary origami includes: a first base 1, a second base 2, and a plurality of positioning components 5; the first base 1 has an upper surface and a lower surface, and a plurality of reference lines 3 are provided on its upper surface; the second base 2 protrudes from the edge of the lower surface of the first base 1 to form a step together with the first base 1; the plurality of positioning components 5 are disposed on the step and protrude from the upper surface of the first base 1 to form a stop surface and together with the upper surface to form a reference point 4; at least two of the plurality of positioning components 5 are arranged in two mutually perpendicular directions, and at least one of them is provided with a counterweight 6 that allows gravity to press the paper against the upper surface of the first base 1.

[0018] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the first base 1 has an upper surface and a lower surface spaced apart along the vertical direction, and the upper surface and the lower surface are connected by multiple side surfaces. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first base 1 in this embodiment adopts a cubic structure, and to reduce its weight, its interior can be hollow. In other embodiments, the first base 1 can also adopt other shapes, as long as its upper and lower surfaces are smooth. Furthermore, multiple reference lines 3 are provided on the upper surface of the first base 1. When the cover paper is laid flat on the upper surface, the creases of the cover paper can be visually projected onto the first base 1 through the corresponding reference lines 3. The reference lines 3 are used as reference standards for folding to the appropriate size, ensuring the consistency of the appearance of the cover paper after folding and avoiding skewed or twisted creases.

[0019] In this embodiment of the utility model, a second base 2 is formed by protruding from the lower surface edge of the first base 1, so that the first base 1 and the second base 2 form a stepped portion. On the one hand, this can improve the overall stability of the auxiliary paper folding device, and on the other hand, it can facilitate the installation of the positioning component 5 in the corresponding position, so as to avoid it covering the upper surface of the first base 1 and reducing the usable area of ​​the cover paper.

[0020] Specifically, in this embodiment, two positioning components 5 are provided (in other embodiments, the number of positioning components 5 may also be different, which is not limited here). The two positioning components 5 are set at different positions on the step part along two mutually perpendicular directions, that is, the orthographic projections of the two positioning components 5 on the step part do not overlap; thus, the lower surfaces of the two positioning components 5 are fixedly connected to the second base 2, and their upper surfaces protrude above the upper surface of the first base 1, thereby enabling the positioning components 5 to have a stop surface; and in order to improve the positioning accuracy, the positioning components 5 are made to abut against the step surface of the step part, so that the upper surface of the first base 1 and the stop surface together form a reference point 4. By attaching the two adjacent sides of the cover paper to the corresponding stop surfaces of the two positioning components 5 respectively, it can be quickly and accurately positioned, and folding with the reference point 4 as a reference point can ensure the consistency of the appearance after folding.

[0021] In this embodiment of the utility model, in order to prevent the cover paper from shifting away from the above-mentioned reference point 4, at least one counterweight 6 is provided. The counterweight 6 can use its own weight to press the cover paper firmly on the upper surface of the first base 1. On the one hand, it can fix the cover paper, and on the other hand, it can free the operator's hands to improve the folding speed.

[0022] This embodiment constructs a three-dimensional reference surface through the cooperation of the first base 1 and the positioning component 5, and uses gravity counterweight to press the cover paper. Combined with each reference line 3 as a reference standard, the original origami method that could only rely on skill level is transformed into a standardized operation that can rely on auxiliary tools. This avoids the situation of inconsistent appearance and reduced efficiency caused by human factors. The assisted origami makes the process simpler and more intuitive.

[0023] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in one embodiment, the counterweight 6 is pulled by a connecting rope 7, which is disposed on the corresponding positioning component 5. Specifically, on the one hand, to facilitate the connection between the positioning component 5 and the counterweight 6, and on the other hand, to facilitate the adaptable placement of the counterweight 6 in different positions, this embodiment provides a connecting rope 7 between the positioning component 5 and the counterweight 6. This connecting rope 7 allows the counterweight 6 to be connected to the corresponding positioning component 5, preventing loss. Simultaneously, different placement positions of the counterweight 6 can be selected according to the size of the cover paper, thereby allowing the connecting rope 7 to be in a slack or taut state. Of course, the connecting rope 7 can be made of a soft material to improve its flexible placement capability.

[0024] Furthermore, such as Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, at least one positioning component 5 has a cavity 501, within which the connecting rope 7 can be stored. Specifically, to facilitate the storage of the connecting rope 7 and prevent it from becoming too long and tangling, this embodiment provides a cavity 501 at the corresponding positioning component 5. This cavity 501 is used to store the excess connecting rope 7. Furthermore, by utilizing the internal cavity structure of the positioning component 5, its surface is used as a stop surface, and its interior serves to accommodate and reduce weight, eliminating the need for additional components and simplifying the structure of this auxiliary origami device.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, a drum 8 is rotatably disposed within the cavity 501, and the connecting rope 7 is wound around the drum 8. Specifically, to prevent the connecting rope 7 stored in the cavity 501 from getting tangled, this embodiment uses a drum 8 rotatably disposed within the cavity 501, allowing the connecting rope 7 to be wound around the outer surface of the drum 8. Preferably, one end of the drum 8 extends slightly beyond the cavity 501 and is provided with a rotating handle 9. During operation, rotating the rotating handle 9 tightens or releases the connecting rope 7.

[0026] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the positioning component 5 is provided with an opening 502 for communicating with the cavity 501. The inner wall of the opening 502 is tapered away from the cavity 501, and the connecting rope 7 can pass through the opening 502. Specifically, the tapered opening 502 can provide a small clamping force to the connecting rope 7, which can ensure that the connecting rope 7 stays at the current position. At the same time, it not only serves as a guide, but its material is also abrasion resistant.

[0027] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the counterweight 6 is provided with a hanging ring, and the corresponding positioning component 5 is provided with a hook 10; hanging ring; 11, for hanging the hanging ring on the hook 10; hanging ring; 11. Specifically, since the size of the counterweight 6 is larger than the size of the opening 502, it cannot enter the inner cavity; in order to facilitate the storage of the counterweight 6, this embodiment provides a hanging ring at the counterweight 6 and a hook 10; hanging ring; 11 at the positioning component 5, so that the hanging ring can be hung on the hook 10; hanging ring; 11, avoiding the counterweight 6 from being placed randomly or constantly hitting other components due to external forces.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the counterweight 6 is provided with an anti-slip pad 12.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, multiple reference lines 3 are arranged in an array along two mutually perpendicular directions; this is used to adapt to cover paper of various sizes, improving the versatility of this auxiliary origami tool. Of course, multiple inclined reference lines, or reference lines in other orientations, can also be set according to the creases of the cover paper to mark the corresponding creases.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
