Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing equipment technology, specifically to an independent book support device for perfect binding lines. Background Technology

[0002] In modern office and printing industries, book binding is a labor-intensive task, with a significant portion relying on manual gluing and wrapping methods, which are time-consuming and inefficient. Existing equipment on the market separates binding and folding into two distinct processes, handled by gluing and page-wrapping machines respectively; some combine them on a single machine, still requiring two positioning steps. Traditional machines are driven by a spindle-driven cam, which in turn drives a clamping plate to hold the book. Over time, as parts wear down, it becomes difficult to synchronize with the initial clamping mechanism, or some machines only offer one clamping step, failing to meet the demands of precise book craftsmanship. Furthermore, the manufacturing process is cumbersome and production costs are high.

[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, a utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN216467010U discloses an independent book support mechanism for a perfect binding line. This mechanism includes a side plate, a drive motor, a cam, a sensor, a transmission mechanism, a clamping table, and a clamping plate. The drive motor is mounted on the side plate, allowing for simple and quick installation onto the perfect binding machine. An encoder controls the motor, precisely controlling the cam to drive the clamping plate to clamp the book, ensuring consistent clamping positions and achieving the refined requirements of bookbinding.

[0004] However, the device still has some minor drawbacks in actual use. For example, it is impossible to smooth the front and back sides of the book before clamping it. The quality of subsequent clamping and binding depends entirely on the operator's pre-arrangement, which is troublesome and time-consuming. In addition, the transmission structure of the clamping plate is relatively complex. The use of belt drive can easily affect the transmission accuracy of the clamping plate, thus failing to guarantee the clamping quality of the book. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an independent book support device for perfect binding lines, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an independent book support device for a perfect binding line, comprising: a base plate, a first clamping plate provided at one end of the upper surface of the base plate, a second clamping plate fixedly connected to the other end of the upper surface of the base plate, a smoothing component provided above the second clamping plate, and the first clamping plate being connected to the base plate via a transmission component. The smoothing component includes: a pair of plates, the pair of plates being located at the top of a first clamping plate; a first slider being fixedly connected to the bottom end of each plate; the first slider being slidably connected to a second clamping plate via a first sliding groove; a pair of first balls being slidably engaged at both ends of the first slider; the first balls being in contact with the inner wall of the first sliding groove; a first threaded cylinder being fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first slider; a double-ended screw being threadedly connected to the inner wall of the first threaded cylinder; the double-ended screw being rotatably connected to the second clamping plate via ball bearings; and a first servo motor being fixedly connected to one end of the double-ended screw; the housing of the first servo motor being fixedly connected to the second clamping plate.

[0007] Preferably, each of the two plates has a groove on its surface facing each other, and a distance sensor is installed inside the groove.

[0008] Preferably, the panel has a multi-segment structure, with a rod inserted between adjacent panels. The rod is connected to the panel through a hole, and the outer wall of the rod abuts against the inner wall of the hole.

[0009] Preferably, a groove seat is fixed to the surface of the plate away from the groove.

[0010] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes: a second slider, the second slider being fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first clamping plate, the second slider being slidably connected to the base plate through a second sliding groove, a pair of second balls being slidably engaged on both the front and rear sides of the second slider, the second balls being in contact with the inner wall of the second sliding groove, a second threaded cylinder being fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second slider, a lead screw being threadedly connected to the inner wall of the second threaded cylinder, the lead screw being rotatably connected to the base plate through a ball bearing, a second servo motor being fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw, and the housing of the second servo motor being fixedly connected to the base plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: this independent book support device for perfect binding lines has the following advantages over traditional technology: Through the coordinated operation of various structural components, the user first places the book to be clamped and bound on the upper surface of the substrate. Due to the flatness of the substrate surface, the top and bottom ends of the book are naturally aligned due to its own weight. Then, the first servo motor is driven to rotate the double-headed screw. Because there is a threaded connection between the double-headed screw and the first threaded cylinder, and the first slide groove plays a sliding limit role on the first slider, the two plates will move towards each other and continuously move closer to the book. When the plates contact the side of the book, they can smooth the front and back sides of the book. During this process, the distance sensor will monitor the distance between the plates and the book in real time. When the plates are attached to the side of the book, they will send a command to the external control module to make the output end of the first servo motor rotate in the opposite direction, and the two plates will move away from the book. Then, the second servo motor is driven to rotate the lead screw, which drives the second threaded cylinder. In conjunction with the second slide groove to limit the sliding of the second slider, the first clamping plate moves towards the second clamping plate. The two clamp the books together and bind them. During the operation, the front and back sides of the books can be smoothed, reducing the reliance on the operator's pre-arrangement, saving time and effort. At the same time, the clamping plate transmission structure is simplified, the belt transmission method that easily affects the accuracy is eliminated, the accuracy of the clamping plate transmission is ensured, the clamping quality is effectively improved, and the binding efficiency and finished product qualification rate are increased. Before starting the work, the user can adjust the horizontal length of the mounting plate according to the thickness of the book to be clamped and bound. The mounting plate is composed of multiple sections, and adjacent mounting plates are attached to each other. The insertion rod is inserted into the insertion hole to complete the installation work between multiple adjacent mounting plates, thereby meeting the needs of smoothing the sides of thicker books. It has a wide range of applications. Attached Figure Description

[0015] 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.

[0016] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an independent book support device for a perfect binding line, comprising: a base plate 1, a first clamping plate 2 at one end of the upper surface of the base plate 1, a second clamping plate 3 fixedly connected to the other end of the upper surface of the base plate 1, a smoothing component above the second clamping plate 3, the first clamping plate 2 being connected to the base plate 1 via a transmission component, and the smoothing component comprising: a pair of adhesive plates 4, the pair of adhesive plates 4 being located at the top of the first clamping plate 3, a first slider 5 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the adhesive plates 4, the first slider 5 being slidably connected to the second clamping plate 3 via a first sliding groove 6, a pair of first balls 7 being slidably engaged at both the front and rear ends of the first slider 5, the first balls 7 being in contact with the inner wall of the first sliding groove 6, a first threaded cylinder 8 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first slider 5, a double-ended screw 9 being threadedly connected to the inner wall of the first threaded cylinder 8, the double-ended screw 9 being rotatably connected to the second clamping plate 3 via ball bearings, a first servo motor 10 fixedly connected to one end of the double-ended screw 9, and the housing of the first servo motor 10 being fixedly connected to the second clamping plate 3.

[0017] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the base plate 1, as the basic support component of the entire device, is made of a high-strength, wear-resistant, and relatively rigid metal material, such as stainless steel, to ensure that it will not deform due to the weight of the books and the force generated by the binding operation during long-term use, thereby ensuring the flatness of the books. The first clamping plate 2 and the second clamping plate 3 are also made of sturdy metal material, and their surfaces are finely polished to be smooth and flat, avoiding scratches on the book surface when clamping the books. The first sliding groove 6 provided on the second clamping plate 3 has a finely polished interior. The surface roughness is extremely low due to the fine machining process, and the fit with the first ball bearing 7 is very tight with low friction, which makes the sliding of the first slider 5 in the first groove 6 smoother and more stable, thus ensuring the motion accuracy of the mounting plate 4. The thread fit between the double-ended screw 9 and the first threaded cylinder 8 is tight, which can accurately control the moving distance of the first slider 5, thereby realizing the precise smoothing operation of the mounting plate 4 on the side of the book. The first servo motor 10 has the characteristics of high precision and high torque, and can accurately control the rotation direction and speed of the double-ended screw 9 according to the instructions of the control module, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the smoothing operation.

[0018] Furthermore, grooves 11 are provided on the surfaces of the pair of plates 4 that face each other, and a distance sensor 12 is installed inside the grooves 11.

[0019] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the shape and size of the groove 11 are carefully designed to perfectly match the shape of the distance sensor 12, providing a stable installation position for the distance sensor 12 and preventing it from shaking or shifting during device operation. The distance sensor 12 uses a high-precision infrared or laser sensor with a measurement accuracy of millimeters, which can monitor the distance between the sticker 4 and the book in real time and accurately. The sensor integrates an advanced signal processing chip, which can quickly convert the measured distance signal into an electrical signal and transmit it to the external control module, ensuring that the control module can obtain accurate information in a timely manner, thereby precisely controlling the operation of the first servo motor 10.

[0020] Furthermore, the panel 4 has a multi-segment structure, with insert rods 13 inserted between adjacent panels 4. The insert rods 13 are connected to the panels 4 through insertion holes 14, and the outer wall of the insert rods 13 abuts against the inner wall of the insertion holes 14.

[0021] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the multi-segment structure design of the mounting plate 4 allows the device to be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of books of different thicknesses. The material of each segment of the mounting plate 4 is consistent with the overall mounting plate, ensuring the uniformity and stability of the smoothing operation. The insertion rod 13 is made of high-strength, high-hardness metal material, and its surface has been specially treated to have a high coefficient of friction. When the insertion rod 13 is inserted into the insertion hole 14, it can generate sufficient friction with the inner wall of the insertion hole 14 to ensure that the connection between adjacent mounting plates 4 is firm and will not loosen or separate during the smoothing operation. The dimensional accuracy of the insertion hole 14 is extremely high, and the fit gap with the insertion rod 13 is extremely small, further ensuring the stability of the connection.

[0022] Furthermore, a groove seat 15 is fixed to the surface of the plate 4 away from the groove 11.

[0023] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the slot 15 is made of hard plastic material, which can be used to snap the insertion rod 13 into place for storage when it is not in use.

[0024] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes: a second slider 16, which is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first clamping plate 2. The second slider 16 is slidably connected to the base plate 1 through the second slide groove 17. A pair of second balls 18 are slidably engaged on both the front and rear sides of the second slider 16. The second balls 18 are in contact with the inner wall of the second slide groove 17. A second threaded cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second slider 16. A lead screw 20 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the second threaded cylinder 19. The lead screw 20 is rotatably connected to the base plate 1 through a ball bearing. A second servo motor 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 20. The housing of the second servo motor 21 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1.

[0025] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the interior of the second slide groove 17 is also precision machined, and the matching accuracy with the second ball bearing 18 is high, which can ensure that the second slider 16 slides smoothly and without jamming in the second slide groove 17. The thread accuracy of the second threaded cylinder 19 matches the thread accuracy of the double-ended screw 9, which can form a precise thread transmission relationship with the lead screw 20, and accurately control the moving distance of the second slider 16, thereby realizing the precise clamping of the book by the first clamping plate 2. The lead screw 20 is made of high-strength and high-precision metal material, and the second servo motor 21 has the characteristics of high precision and high response speed. It can quickly and accurately control the rotation direction and speed of the lead screw 20 according to the control command, ensuring that the first clamping plate 2 and the second clamping plate 3 can quickly and stably perform clamping and loosening operations on the book, thereby improving binding efficiency.

[0026] Working principle: Book placement and initial tidying: The user places the book to be clamped and bound on the upper surface of the substrate 1. The surface of the substrate 1 is flat and smooth. The book, relying on its own weight, naturally keeps its top and bottom ends aligned, laying a good foundation for subsequent smoothing and binding operations.

[0027] Smoothing operation on the front and back sides of the book: The first servo motor 10 is started, which drives the double-ended screw 9 to rotate. Since there is a threaded connection between the double-ended screw 9 and the first threaded cylinder 8, the first slider 5 can only move linearly along the first slide groove 6 under the sliding limit action of the first slide groove 6. This drives the plate 4 connected to the first slider 5 to move, so that the two plates 4 move towards each other and move closer to the book. When the plate 4 contacts the side of the book, it begins to smooth the front and back sides of the book to eliminate any unevenness. During this process, the distance sensor 12 monitors the distance between the plate 4 and the book in real time and feeds the distance information back to the external control module. When the plate 4 is completely attached to the side of the book, the distance sensor 12 sends a command to the external control module. After receiving the command, the control module causes the output end of the first servo motor 10 to rotate in the opposite direction. The double-ended screw 9 rotates in the opposite direction as well, and the two plates 4 move away from each other and away from the book, completing the reset action after smoothing.

[0028] Book clamping and binding operation: After the book is smoothed, the second servo motor 21 is driven, which in turn drives the lead screw 20 to rotate. A threaded transmission relationship is formed between the lead screw 20 and the second threaded cylinder 19. Under the sliding limit effect of the second slide groove 17 on the second slider 16, the second slider 16 can only move linearly along the second slide groove 17, thereby driving the first clamping plate 2 connected to the second slider 16 to move towards the second clamping plate 3. The first clamping plate 2 and the second clamping plate 3 gradually approach each other and finally clamp the book, completing the binding operation in the clamped state. This device abandons the traditional belt drive method that easily affects accuracy, and adopts the above structure to simplify the clamping plate transmission structure, ensuring the accuracy of the clamping plate transmission, effectively improving the clamping quality, and thus improving binding efficiency and finished product qualification rate.

[0029] The length of the mounting plate can be adjusted to accommodate books of different thicknesses. Before operation, the user can adjust the horizontal length of the mounting plate 4 according to the thickness of the book to be clamped and bound. The mounting plate 4 is composed of multiple segments. Adjacent mounting plates 4 are attached to each other. Inserting the insert rod 13 into the insertion hole 14 can complete the installation between multiple adjacent mounting plates 4, thereby increasing the overall length of the mounting plate 4 and meeting the needs of smoothing both sides of thicker books, making the device have a wider range of applications.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
