Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing equipment technology, and in particular to a copy-copy conveying device and its production line. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of existing hardcover books, there are usually a cover, a back cover, and an inner core consisting of several stacked pages. After the inner core is stacked by a page-counting device, the cover and back cover are glued to the top and bottom surfaces of the inner core using a top-gluing device. Before the top-gluing process, the inner core is flipped over by a page-turning device so that its back is facing down and placed on an inclined conveyor line for subsequent gluing operations.

[0003] Existing flipping devices typically require the inner core to be flipped horizontally 180° before being tilted and conveyed to the upper gluing device. This flipping device has a complex structure, requiring multiple sets of transmission and positioning mechanisms during the flipping process, resulting in high manufacturing costs. Moreover, the inner core is prone to misalignment during the 180° horizontal flipping process, leading to uneven backs and affecting subsequent gluing and finished product quality. Furthermore, during the stacking of papers, air can easily be trapped between adjacent sheets. If air is not properly vented, this can easily cause pages to detach during the gluing process, affecting the bonding strength. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The first objective of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems that occur during the turning and conveying of existing core books, and to propose a book-turning and conveying device that flips horizontal core books into an inclined state.

[0005] The first objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A book-turning conveying device includes a horizontal conveying mechanism, a vertical conveying mechanism, and a book-turning mechanism for conveying inner cores. The output end of the horizontal conveying mechanism is perpendicularly connected to the input end of the vertical conveying mechanism. The book-turning mechanism is located at the junction of the horizontal conveying mechanism and the vertical conveying mechanism. The book-turning mechanism flips the horizontal inner cores on the horizontal conveying mechanism into an inclined state. The vertical conveying mechanism is provided with an inclined conveying surface for receiving and conveying the inclined inner cores. The book-turning mechanism includes a turntable and a drive unit for driving the turntable to rotate horizontally. The turntable has a book-in station and a book-out station. The book-in station is connected to the output end of the horizontal conveying mechanism to receive the inner core book in a horizontal state. The book-out station is connected to the input end of the vertical conveying mechanism to output the inner core book in an inclined state. The drive unit drives the turntable to rotate, causing the inner core book to rotate from the book-in station to the book-out station. The angle between the book-in station and the book-out station is greater than 0° and less than 180°.

[0006] In the aforementioned copy-turning conveying device, the copy-turning conveying device further includes a copy-shifting mechanism, which is used to drive the inner core copy on the copy-turning station to translate along the turntable axis so that the inner core copy enters the longitudinal conveying mechanism, wherein the conveying direction of the longitudinal conveying mechanism is consistent with the moving direction of the inner core copy.

[0007] In the aforementioned book-turning and conveying device, the book-transferring mechanism includes a clamping component and a second driving component for translating the clamping component. The clamping component is used to clamp the inner core book and includes a fixed clamping plate, a movable clamping plate, and a third driving component. The third driving component is used to drive the movable clamping plate to abut against the fixed clamping plate to achieve clamping. The second driving component drives the clamping component and the clamped inner core book to translate as a whole, accurately feeding them into the longitudinal conveying mechanism.

[0008] In the aforementioned copy-copy conveying device, the second driving component includes a motor, two pulleys, and a conveyor belt that is closed and wound around the pulleys. The clamping component is fixedly installed on the conveyor belt. The motor drives one of the pulleys to rotate, and the conveyor belt drives the clamping component to move in a straight line.

[0009] In the above-mentioned copy conveying device, the transverse conveying mechanism is provided with an exhaust device, which includes a pressure plate and a driving component four for driving the pressure plate to move vertically up and down. The driving component four drives the pressure plate to descend, so that it presses against the upper surface of the inner core copy to achieve exhaust.

[0010] In the aforementioned copy-turning conveying device, the venting device further includes two sets of baffle assemblies disposed on the front and rear sides of the pressure plate. Each baffle assembly includes a mounting rod, several blocks fixed to the mounting rod, and a driving component. The blocks are arranged horizontally at intervals perpendicular to the conveying direction of the inner copy. The driving component drives the mounting rod to rotate back and forth, and synchronously rotates each block. Each block can be vertical to block and position the inner copy, or horizontal to allow the inner copy to pass through. The baffle assemblies play an auxiliary positioning role during the venting of the inner copy, ensuring the venting effect.

[0011] In the aforementioned book-turning conveyor, the turntable is further equipped with a book-tapping device. There are two sets of this device, positioned on the left and right sides of the inner core book. Each set includes a push plate and a driving component six for translating the push plate. The two sets are symmetrically arranged, with the two push plates facing each other and moving synchronously in opposite directions under the drive of the driving component six. During operation, the driving component six drives the two push plates to translate towards each other, simultaneously pushing and clamping the inner core book from both sides, thereby aligning the left and right sides of the inner core book. This action not only straightens the sides of the inner core book but also helps to make the back of the inner core book more neat.

[0012] The second objective of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems that occur during the turning and conveying of existing core books, and to propose a book-turning and conveying production line that flips horizontal core books into an inclined state.

[0013] The second objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A book-turning conveyor production line, characterized in that it includes the aforementioned book-turning conveyor and, in sequence along the paper conveying direction, an unwinding device, a printing device, a folding device, a slitting device, a counting device, and a backing device; the book-turning conveyor is located at the rear end of the counting device.

[0014] In the aforementioned paper reprint conveying production line, the paper reprint conveying production line further includes an upper side gluing device and a feeder device; the paper reprint conveying device, the upper side gluing device, the feeder device, and the backing device are arranged sequentially along the paper conveying direction.

[0015] In the aforementioned paper reprint conveying production line, there are two upper side gluing devices, which are divided into an upper bottom side gluing device and an upper front side gluing device; there are two feeder devices, which are divided into a bottom sealing feeder device and a top cover feeder device; the upper bottom side gluing device, the bottom sealing feeder device, the upper front side gluing device, and the top cover feeder device are arranged sequentially along the paper conveying direction.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. A non-180° flip is achieved through a turntable, allowing the inner core to directly tilt. Its own weight keeps the back facing downwards, effectively maintaining a neat back and preventing misalignment. This eliminates the complex structure of a horizontal 180° flip. After flipping, the inner core directly connects to the tilted upper adhesive side, reducing processes and equipment investment, and lowering manufacturing costs.

[0017] 2. The venting design allows for pressurization and venting during the inner core's transport process, effectively reducing air between pages, significantly lowering the risk of page detachment during gluing, and improving product quality.

[0018] 3. The design of the notebook can effectively correct the position of the left and right sides of the inner notebook, making it more neatly stacked; at the same time, it also ensures the neatness of the back of the inner notebook, providing a higher quality foundation for the subsequent gluing process.

[0019] 4. The design of the baffle assembly ensures the accuracy of the inner core's position during conveying and venting, making the books stacked more neatly. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a book-turning and conveying device, which includes a horizontal conveying mechanism 1, a vertical conveying mechanism 2, and a book-turning mechanism for conveying the inner core. The output end of the horizontal conveying mechanism 1 is perpendicularly connected to the input end of the vertical conveying mechanism 2. The book-turning mechanism is located at the junction of the horizontal conveying mechanism 1 and the vertical conveying mechanism 2. The book-turning mechanism flips the horizontal inner core on the horizontal conveying mechanism 1 into an inclined state. The vertical conveying mechanism 2 is provided with an inclined conveying surface for receiving and conveying the inclined inner core.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the book-turning mechanism includes a turntable 3 and a drive component 4 that drives the turntable 3 to rotate horizontally. The turntable 3 has a book-in station 5 and a book-out station 6. The book-in station 5 is connected to the output end of the horizontal conveying mechanism 1 and is used to receive the book in a horizontal state. The book-out station 6 is connected to the input end of the vertical conveying mechanism 2 and is used to output the book in a tilted state. The drive component 4 drives the turntable 3 to rotate, causing the book to rotate from the book-in station 5 to the book-out station 6. The angle between the book-in station 5 and the book-out station 6 is greater than 0° and less than 180°. This achieves a non-180° flip, allowing the book to directly turn into a tilted state. By utilizing its own gravity, the back of the book is always facing downwards, effectively keeping the back neat and avoiding misalignment.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the copy-turning conveyor also includes a copy-shifting mechanism. This mechanism drives the inner core copy on the copy-turning station 6 to translate along the turntable axis, so that the inner core copy enters the longitudinal conveying mechanism 2. The conveying direction of the longitudinal conveying mechanism 2 is consistent with the movement direction of the inner core copy. The copy-shifting mechanism includes a clamping member 7 and a second driving member for translating the clamping member 7. The clamping member 7 is used to clamp the inner core copy and includes a fixed clamping plate, a movable clamping plate, and a third driving member 8. The third driving member 8 is used to drive the movable clamping plate to abut against the fixed clamping plate to achieve clamping. The second driving member drives the clamping member 7 and the clamped inner core copy to translate as a whole, accurately sending it into the longitudinal conveying mechanism 2. The second driving member includes a motor 9, two pulleys 10, and a conveyor belt 11 closed and wound around the pulleys 10. The clamping member 7 is fixedly installed on the conveyor belt 11. The motor 9 drives one of the pulleys 10 to rotate, and the conveyor belt 11 drives the clamping member 7 to translate in a straight line.

[0025] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the transverse conveying mechanism 1 is equipped with an exhaust device, which includes a pressure plate 12 and a driving component 13 that drives the pressure plate 12 to move vertically up and down. The driving component 13 drives the pressure plate 12 to descend, pressing it against the upper surface of the inner core to achieve exhaust. The exhaust device also includes two sets of baffle assemblies located on the front and rear sides of the pressure plate 12. Each baffle assembly includes a mounting rod 14, several blocks 15 fixed on the mounting rod 14, and a driving component 16. The blocks 15 are arranged horizontally at intervals perpendicular to the conveying direction of the inner core. The driving component 16 drives the mounting rod 14 to rotate back and forth and drives the blocks 15 to rotate synchronously. Each block 15 can be in a vertical state to block and position the inner core, or in a horizontal state to allow the inner core to pass through. The baffle assemblies play an auxiliary positioning role when the inner core is being vented, ensuring the venting effect.

[0026] The purpose of setting up two sets of baffle assemblies is that, initially, the baffle 15 on the front baffle assembly is in a horizontal position, and the baffle 15 on the rear baffle assembly is in a vertical position, with the rear baffle assembly initially positioning the inner core. Before venting, the baffle 15 on the front baffle assembly rotates to a vertical position, while the baffle 15 on the rear baffle assembly remains horizontal. The front baffle assembly positions the inner core to lift the baffle 15 on the rear baffle assembly, thus avoiding the pressure plate 12. One side of the inner core needs to be glued, so the pressure plate 12 must extend beyond this side to ensure that this side is compacted and all air is vented.

[0027] The turntable 3 also includes a book-pressing device. There are two sets of this device, positioned on the left and right sides of the inner core. Each set includes a push plate 17 and a driving component 18 that moves the push plate 17 horizontally. The two sets are symmetrically arranged, with the two push plates 17 facing each other and moving synchronously in opposite directions under the drive of the driving component 18. During operation, the driving component 18 drives the two push plates 17 to move horizontally towards each other, simultaneously pushing and clamping the inner core from both sides, thus aligning the left and right sides of the inner core. This action not only straightens the sides of the inner core but also helps to make the back of the inner core more neat.

[0028] The process of this utility model for conveying copies is as follows: After several pages are completed, during the horizontal conveying process, when the inner core reaches below the vent, it is blocked by the stop block 15 on the rear stop assembly. Subsequently, the stop block 15 on the front stop assembly rotates to a vertical position, while the stop block 15 on the rear stop assembly remains horizontal. Then, the drive unit 13 drives the pressure plate 12 to descend, pressing against the upper surface of the inner core to complete the venting. After venting is complete, the pressure plate 12 rises, and the inner core continues to be conveyed forward.

[0029] The inner core is horizontally conveyed to its output end by the transverse conveyor 1. At this time, the inner core is received by the infeed station 5 on the turntable 3. The drive unit 4 is activated, causing the turntable 3 to rotate a certain angle (135°), transporting the inner core from the horizontal infeed station 5 to the outfeed station 6 with a certain inclination angle. During this process, the inner core changes from a horizontal state to an inclined state.

[0030] Subsequently, under the action of the third driving component 8, the clamping component 7 of the transfer mechanism clamps the inner core book through the cooperation of the movable clamping plate and the fixed clamping plate. Then, the motor 9 of the second driving component starts, and the clamping component 7 and the inner core book are moved horizontally towards the longitudinal conveying mechanism 2 through the conveyor belt 11, so that the inner core book is accurately placed on its inclined conveying surface and conveyed by the longitudinal conveying mechanism 2 to the subsequent upper glue station.

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, the present invention provides a paper flipping conveying production line, which includes an unwinding device 20, a printing device 21, a folding device 22, a slitting device 23, a counting device 24, a paper flipping conveying device, an upper side gluing device, a feeder device, and a backing device (29) arranged sequentially along the paper conveying direction.

[0032] There are two upper side adhesive devices, namely upper bottom side adhesive device 25 and upper front side adhesive device 27; there are two feeder devices, namely bottom sealing feeder device 26 and top cover feeder device 28; the upper bottom side adhesive device 25, bottom sealing feeder device 26, upper front side adhesive device 27 and top cover feeder device 28 are arranged sequentially along the paper conveying direction.
