Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automated collating machine technology, and in particular to a high-speed automated collating machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the printing industry, the requirements for the efficiency and accuracy of binding equipment are becoming increasingly stringent. Traditional manual collating methods can no longer meet the needs of modern large-scale production, and automated collating equipment is gradually becoming the industry mainstream.

[0003] Existing collating machines generally have poor adaptability to collating paper of different thicknesses during operation, which easily leads to low conveying efficiency and paper slippage when collating paper of different thicknesses.

[0004] Therefore, a new approach is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a high-speed automated collating machine with advantages such as high precision and high adaptability, which solves the problem that existing collating machines generally have poor adaptability to collating paper of different thicknesses during operation, which easily leads to low conveying efficiency and paper slippage when collating paper of different thicknesses.

[0006] This application provides a high-speed automated collating machine with the following technical solution: It includes a frame, on the outer surface of which a first motor and a second motor are fixedly mounted. Two first connecting shafts and two second connecting shafts are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame. The output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to one of the first connecting shafts, and the output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to one of the second connecting shafts. A track groove is formed on the outer surface of the frame, and a connecting frame is slidably connected to the inner wall of the track groove. A cutting blade is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the connecting frame. A detection frame is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the frame, and a detection block, which is an image sensor, is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the detection frame. The detection block is installed on the detection frame using fixing bolts. The detection block is used to detect information such as the position, quantity, and quality of the paper to ensure the accuracy and stability of the collating process. When the detection block detects a defective product, it controls the first and second motors through the PLC controller. At this time, the first and second motors stop synchronously. After being screened by the staff, they are restarted. The first and second controllers are used to control the forward or reverse rotation of the servo motors to realize the movement of the connecting frame and the cutting blade. The first controller is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the connecting frame, and the second controller is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the frame. A baffle is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the frame.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the first motor and the second motor provide power to the paper feeding mechanism and the conveying mechanism of the equipment, respectively. The output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to one of the first connecting shafts, and the output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to one of the second connecting shafts. The motor drives the connecting shafts to rotate, which in turn drives the related transmission components to realize the conveying and paging of the paper in the collating machine. The first controller can be set to adjust the cutting blade to slide horizontally along the connecting frame, thereby facilitating the cutting blade to cut and paginate the paper products. The second controller can be set to adjust the connecting frame to slide along the track groove. Servo motors are installed inside both the frame and the connecting frame. The machine has two servo motors whose output ends are fixedly connected to ball screws. Nuts that are threaded to the ball screws are fixedly connected to the cutting blade and the connecting frame. The track groove provides guidance for the connecting frame. The first controller and the second controller control the servo motors through the PLC controller to move and stop the connecting frame, thereby driving the cutting blade to move to the designated position to cut the paper. It can cut the prepared paper into appropriate sizes or shapes. The detection block can detect whether the paper is correctly fed into place and whether there are missing pages or extra pages. The baffle setting can limit the paper feeding path to prevent the paper from deviating or falling, ensuring the smooth progress of the collating process.

[0008] Preferably, the frame is provided with a first transmission belt and a second transmission belt inside, the outer surface of the first transmission belt is driven to both first connecting shafts, and the outer surface of the second transmission belt is driven to both second connecting shafts.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the first and second transmission belts provide power to the core paper conveying link of the collating machine. Through the surface friction of the first transmission belt, the single sheets of paper separated from the paper hopper are conveyed to the collating channel at a constant speed, driving the collating rollers and paper conveying rollers to complete the paper conveying.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the frame is rotatably connected to a first connecting roller and a second connecting roller, and the outer surface of the first connecting roller is drivenly connected to a third transmission belt, the outer surface of the third transmission belt being drivenly connected to one of the first connecting shafts.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the first connecting roller rotates synchronously with the first connecting shaft through the setting of the third transmission belt. The setting of the first and second connecting rollers can serve as auxiliary support for the main conveying channel and power source for the paper pretreatment stage. The second connecting roller is installed above the third transmission belt. Through the clamping and feeding cooperation with the third transmission belt, it ensures that the paper is conveyed flat and accurately fed into the paging mechanism. The outer surfaces of the first and second connecting rollers are set with rubber coating and diamond pattern to increase the friction with the paper and prevent slippage and idle rotation when conveying thin paper.

[0012] Preferably, a connecting block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the frame, a connecting rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting block, the outer surface of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the frame, and an extrusion roller is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the connecting block.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the extrusion roller, as the execution component that directly acts on the paper, together with the sliding connecting block and the fixed connecting rod, constructs an adjustable pressure paper pressing and guiding mechanism, which facilitates the solution of the problems of paper conveying stability of different thicknesses and the flatness of the book after collating.

[0014] Preferably, a first spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting rod, the bottom end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the connecting block, and the other end is fixedly connected to the frame.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the first spring, as the core elastic component between the connecting block and the frame, provides adaptive, constant and recoverable pressure support for the extrusion roller, enabling flexible pressing of paper and book blocks of different thicknesses, and upgrading the extrusion adjustment system from passive guidance to active adaptation.

[0016] Preferably, the frame is provided with a fixed roller inside, and two second springs are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed roller. The ends of the two second springs that are far apart from each other are fixedly connected with a rod, and the outer surface of each rod is slidably connected to the fixed roller.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the insertion rod is pressed and slid horizontally into the fixed roller. At this time, the corresponding second spring will be compressed until the insertion rod is fully inserted into the fixed roller. Then, it can be installed by sliding it vertically into the frame. The fixed roller can then wind up the paper.

[0018] Preferably, the outer surface of the frame has two slots, and the outer surface of each of the plug rods is inserted into the corresponding slot.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, during the installation of the fixed roller, the slot and the corresponding insertion rod are aligned on the same central axis. At this point, the second spring pushes the corresponding insertion rod under its rebound force to insert it into the corresponding slot, thereby facilitating the rapid installation of the fixed roller.

[0020] Preferably, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the frame, and a reversing roller is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the fixing block.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer surface of the fixed block is fixedly connected to the frame, providing rigid support for the entire steering mechanism. Its installation position determines the paper's direction of rotation. The reversing roller is set to reverse the paper's direction, making it spread flat on the second transmission belt, which facilitates the separation of the paper into pages.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: This high-speed automated collating machine, by setting up components such as a first motor, a second motor, a track groove, a cutting blade, a connecting frame, a detection frame, a detection block, a first controller, and a second controller, can flexibly cut and intelligently detect materials through the independent power of the first and second motors and the setting of the first and second controllers. Thus, this device can perfectly meet the automated collating needs of batch printing of books, manuals, tickets, and other printed materials through high-speed operation, high precision, and high adaptability.

[0026] Example 1: A high-speed automated collating machine, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6The system includes a frame 1, on the outer surface of which a first motor 2 and a second motor 25 are fixedly mounted. Two first connecting shafts 3 and two second connecting shafts 26 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the frame 1. The output end of the first motor 2 is fixedly connected to one of the first connecting shafts 3, and the output end of the second motor 25 is fixedly connected to one of the second connecting shafts 26. A track groove 22 is formed on the outer surface of the frame 1. A connecting frame 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the track groove 22. A cutting blade 21 is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the connecting frame 19. A detection frame 23 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the frame 1. The outer surface of the detection frame 23 is fixedly... A detection block 24 is fixedly installed. When the detection block 24 detects a defective product, it will control the first motor 2 and the second motor 25 through the PLC controller. At this time, the first motor 2 and the second motor 25 stop synchronously. Then, after being screened by the staff, they are restarted. The first controller 20 and the second controller 28 are used to control the servo motor to rotate forward or backward, so as to realize the movement of the connecting frame 19 and the cutting blade 21. The first controller 20 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the connecting frame 19, and the second controller 28 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the frame 1. The baffle 18 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the frame 1.

[0027] The first motor 2 and the second motor 25 provide power to the paper feeding mechanism and conveying mechanism of the equipment, respectively. The output end of the first motor 2 is fixedly connected to one of the first connecting shafts 3, and the output end of the second motor 25 is fixedly connected to one of the second connecting shafts 26. The motors drive the connecting shafts to rotate, which in turn drives the related transmission components to realize the conveying and paging of the paper in the collating machine. The first controller 20 can be used to adjust the cutting blade 21 to slide horizontally along the connecting frame 19, so as to facilitate the cutting blade 21 to cut and paging the paper products. The second controller 28 can be used to adjust the connecting frame 19 to slide along the track groove 22. Servo motors are installed inside both the frame 1 and the connecting frame 19. Both servo motors have their output ends fixedly connected to ball screws. Nuts threadedly connected to the ball screws are fixedly connected to the cutting blade 21 and the connecting frame 19. The track groove 22 provides guidance for the connecting frame 19. The first controller 20 and the second controller 28 control the servo motors through the PLC controller to move and stop the connecting frame 19, thereby driving the cutting blade 21 to move to the designated position to cut the paper. The paper can be cut into the appropriate size or shape. The detection block 24 can detect whether the paper is correctly fed into place and whether there are missing pages or extra pages. The baffle 18 can limit the paper's feeding path to prevent the paper from deviating or falling, ensuring the smooth progress of the collating process.

[0028] Example 2: A high-speed automated collating machine, please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2The frame 1 is equipped with a first transmission belt 4 and a second transmission belt 27. The outer surface of the first transmission belt 4 is connected to both first connecting shafts 3, and the outer surface of the second transmission belt 27 is connected to both second connecting shafts 26. The arrangement of the first transmission belt 4 and the second transmission belt 27 enables them to provide power to the core paper conveying link of the collating machine. Through the surface friction of the first transmission belt 4, the single sheets of paper separated from the paper hopper are conveyed to the collating channel at a constant speed, driving the collating roller and the paper conveying roller to complete the paper conveying.

[0029] Please see Figure 2 The inner wall of the frame 1 is rotatably connected to a first connecting roller 6 and a second connecting roller 7. The outer surface of the first connecting roller 6 is connected to a third transmission belt 5. The outer surface of the third transmission belt 5 is connected to one of the first connecting shafts 3. The first connecting roller 6 rotates synchronously with the first connecting shaft 3 through the setting of the third transmission belt 5. The first connecting roller 6 and the second connecting roller 7 can serve as auxiliary support for the main conveying channel and power source for the paper pretreatment stage. The second connecting roller 7 is installed above the third transmission belt 5. Through the clamping and feeding cooperation with the third transmission belt 5, it ensures that the paper is conveyed flat and accurately fed into the paging mechanism. The outer surfaces of the first connecting roller 6 and the second connecting roller 7 are made of rubber coating and diamond pattern to increase the friction with the paper and prevent slippage and idle spinning when conveying thin paper.

[0030] Please see Figure 3 A connecting block 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the frame 1, and a connecting rod 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 13. The outer surface of the connecting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. A pressing roller 8 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the connecting block 13. The pressing roller 8, as an actuator that directly acts on the paper, together with the slidable connecting block 13 and the fixed connecting rod 14, forms an adjustable pressure paper pressing and guiding mechanism, which facilitates the solution of the problems of stability in conveying paper of different thicknesses and flatness of the book after collating.

[0031] Please see Figure 3 A first spring 15 is sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting rod 14. The bottom end of the first spring 15 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 13, and the other end is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The first spring 15 serves as the core elastic component between the connecting block 13 and the frame 1, providing adaptive, constant, and recoverable pressure support for the extrusion roller 8. It can flexibly press paper and book blocks of different thicknesses, upgrading the extrusion adjustment system from passive guidance to active adaptation.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4The frame 1 has a fixed roller 9 inside. Two second springs 10 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed roller 9. The ends of the two second springs 10 that are far apart from each other are fixedly connected to the insertion rods 11. The outer surface of each insertion rod 11 is slidably connected to the fixed roller 9. By pressing the insertion rod 11, it slides horizontally into the fixed roller 9. At this time, the corresponding second spring 10 will be compressed until the insertion rod 11 is fully inserted into the fixed roller 9. Then, it can be installed by sliding it vertically into the frame 1. The fixed roller 9 can wind up the paper.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 Two slots 12 are provided on the outer surface of the frame 1. The outer surface of each insert rod 11 is inserted into the corresponding slot 12. During the installation of the fixed roller 9, the slot 12 and the corresponding insert rod 11 are on the same central axis. At this time, the second spring 10 pushes the corresponding insert rod 11 under its rebound force so that it is inserted into the corresponding slot 12, thereby facilitating the quick installation of the fixed roller 9.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 A fixing block 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the frame 1, and a reversing roller 17 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the fixing block 16. The outer surface of the fixing block 16 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, providing rigid support for the entire turning mechanism. Its installation position determines the paper turning direction. The reversing roller 17 is set to change the direction of the paper, making it spread flat on the second transmission belt 27, which facilitates the paging of the paper.

[0035] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: First, the paper is wound onto the fixed roller 9. Then, the insertion rod 11 is pressed and the corresponding second spring 10 is squeezed to compress it. Then, the fixed roller 9 is installed along the frame 1 until the slot 12 and the corresponding insertion rod 11 are on the same central axis. At this time, the second spring 10 will push the corresponding insertion rod 11 into the corresponding slot 12 under its rebound force. Then, the paper passes around the first connecting roller 6 and the second connecting roller 7. Then, the first motor 2 is started to drive the first transmission belt 4 to transport the paper. Then, the paper passes around the deflection roller 17. During this process, the position of the cutting blade 21 can be adjusted by its setting with the first controller 20 and the second controller 28, which is convenient for cutting paper sheets of different sizes. Then, the detection block 24 is used to detect and control the paper. During the paper conveying process, the setting of the squeezing roller 8 makes the paper of different thicknesses squeezed by the setting of the first spring 15, so that the conveying is more stable.
