Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of color card manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to a rapid filling tool for color card samples. Background Technology

[0002] Sample booklets, such as color swatches, are used to fix samples of different colors or sizes onto a flat surface. The samples are typically colorful pieces of paper, fabric, or even stone or wood. For thinner paper or fabric materials, the different colors or sizes of samples to be presented are usually cut separately beforehand, and then multiple colors or sizes are simultaneously pasted onto a single sample booklet using specialized gluing equipment. The process involves using a filling tool to sequentially fill a large number of cut samples according to a set arrangement before placing them into the gluing equipment.

[0003] Taking the manufacture of a common paper color swatch sample book as an example, if each sample page contains 7*10 rows and columns of color swatches, and a total of 100 books are to be made, then 100 color swatches of each of the 70 colors are needed, placed into a filling tool and then into a pasting device. Since the sample book is not a standard product and its specifications are customized, the sample filling slots in the pasting device are also customized according to the customer's requirements. Correspondingly, there are no standardized filling tools. Generally, simple tools such as rulers are used to neatly stack each color sample, then a soft, thin ribbon or other gentle material is used to support the sample stack and lower it into the corresponding position (groove or hole) of the pasting device, and then the ribbon is gently pulled out. This method of sorting and filling is slow and requires a high degree of concentration. Sometimes, incorrect placement can lead to batch errors in the color swatches. Even if errors are detected before the machine begins batch pasting, removing the incorrectly placed samples from the filling slots is time-consuming and troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems of cumbersome color card sample preparation and operational difficulties in loading them into the filling slots of an adhesive device, this invention provides a rapid color card sample filling tool, comprising: a filling unit and a pusher. The filling unit includes a baffle forming a cylindrical filling cavity, the cross-sectional shape of which matches the color card sample. The color card samples can be stacked sequentially within the filling cavity. The top of the filling cavity is an inlet, and multiple locking points are provided at the bottom edge of the filling cavity. The color card samples can be loaded into the filling cavity through the inlet and placed onto the locking points. The filling unit can be placed on an adhesive device, which has a filling slot. The bottom of the filling cavity is connected to the opening of the filling slot. The pusher extends through the inlet and presses and pushes the stacked color card samples sequentially through the bottom of the filling cavity and into the filling slot.

[0005] In some embodiments, the color card sample rapid filling tool further includes a clamp that can clamp the stacked color card samples at both ends along the stacking direction. Along the stacking direction of the color card samples, the baffle is provided with a groove. The width of the groove is smaller than the width of the color card samples. The first end of the groove extends to the filling inlet, and the second end of the groove extends to the bottom of the filling cavity. The clamp can extend into the filling cavity through the groove.

[0006] In some embodiments, multiple filling slots are provided and arranged in a rectangular array to form a slot group, and multiple filling units are provided and arranged according to the row or column pattern of the slot group.

[0007] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the filling cavity is rectangular, and multiple locking structures are respectively disposed at the four corners of the bottom end of the filling cavity.

[0008] In some embodiments, the locking point structure is a right triangle, with the two right-angled sides connected to the baffle.

[0009] In some embodiments, the total projected area of ​​the multiple locking point structures is 2% to 12.5% ​​of the cross-sectional area of ​​the filling cavity.

[0010] In some embodiments, the color card sample rapid filling tool further includes a guide pin, which is composed of multiple layers of color card samples stacked sequentially and bonded at their center. The guide pin is disposed on the underside of the stacked color card samples, and its bottom abuts against a locking point structure. In some embodiments, the color card sample rapid filling tool further includes a blocking pin, which can extend into the filling cavity through the filling inlet. The bottom end of the blocking pin can abut against the top of the stacked color card samples and can be fixed inside the filling cavity.

[0011] In some embodiments, the chute includes a notch section and a body section, wherein the width of the notch section is greater than the width of the body section; and the width of the chute gradually decreases as it extends from the notch section to the body section.

[0012] In some embodiments, the notch section accounts for 10% to 20% of the total length of the chute.

[0013] To solve the problems of cumbersome sample preparation and difficult operation when loading color card samples into the filling slot of the pasting device, this utility model has the following advantages: In the above technical solution, a filling unit is used to organize the color card samples. The color card samples are thin pieces of paper, cardboard, or cloth, and are relatively small in size. Since the cross-sectional shape of the filling cavity matches that of the color card samples, the samples can be stacked sequentially inside the filling cavity for storage. The filling cavity provides support and space for the storage of the color card samples. Inside the filling cavity, the color card samples can maintain their stacked state and will not easily collapse. The color card samples falling into the filling cavity are supported by the locking structure and will not fall out of the locking structure without external force. The filling unit is detached, making it easy to transfer the prepared color card samples by moving the filling unit. When filling is required, the filling unit is transferred to the filling slot of the pasting device. After aligning the bottom of the filling cavity with the opening of the filling slot, the force is applied by the push rod, which pushes the stacked color card samples to undergo slight elastic deformation in sequence, so that they pass through the support of the locking point structure and fall into the filling slot below. Due to the force of the pushing action, the entire stack of color card samples falls into the filling slot below quickly and accurately, thus completing the filling operation.

[0018] This embodiment discloses a rapid filling tool for color card samples, such as... Figure 1-2 As shown, it may include: a filling unit 10 and a pusher. The filling unit 10 includes a baffle 11, which encloses a cylindrical filling cavity 12. The cross-sectional shape of the filling cavity 12 is consistent with that of the color card sample. The color card samples can be stacked in the filling cavity 12. The top of the filling cavity 12 is a filling inlet. Multiple locking structures 13 are provided at the bottom edge of the filling cavity 12. The color card samples can be filled into the filling cavity 12 through the filling inlet and fall onto the locking structures 13. The filling unit 10 can be placed on a pasting device. The pasting device is provided with a filling slot 20. The bottom end of the filling cavity 12 is connected to the opening of the filling slot 20. The pusher can be inserted through the filling inlet and squeeze and push the stacked color card samples to pass through the bottom of the filling cavity 12 and fall into the filling slot 20.

[0019] It should be noted that the aforementioned color swatches are primarily for thin paper, hard paper, plastic, and fabric—materials with a certain degree of elasticity and toughness that can deform elastically. The color swatch sample booklet aims to showcase actual samples of different colors from the same or similar materials for customers to compare and reference. To ensure the uniformity of the sample booklet, it is usually produced in batches and processed using gluing equipment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the pasting device is equipped with multiple filling slots 20 for storing color card samples, arranged in an array according to a certain pattern. The filling slots 20 extend vertically, and the color card samples need to be stacked in the filling slots 20 one by one. The shape of the color card samples is consistent with the filling slots 20. After the color card samples are inserted, the gap between their sides and the inner wall of the filling slots 20 is extremely small. Therefore, it is difficult to place them directly into the filling slots 20. The traditional method is to use a soft, thin strip material such as a ribbon to hold the sample stack and suspend it into the corresponding position (groove or hole) of the pasting device, and then gently pull out the thin ribbon. This method cannot store stacked color card samples. If there is any deviation, it needs to be readjusted. In addition, it requires a high degree of precision in operation and is difficult to fill.

[0020] In the above-described technical solution of this application, the filling unit 10 is used to organize the color card samples. The color card samples are thin pieces of paper, cardboard, or cloth, and are relatively small in size. Since the filling cavity 12 has the same cross-sectional shape as the color card samples, the samples can be stacked and stored sequentially within the filling cavity 12. The filling cavity 12 provides support and space for the storage of the color card samples. Within the filling cavity 12, the color card samples can maintain their stacked state and will not easily collapse. The color card samples falling into the filling cavity 12 are supported by the locking structure 13 and will not fall off the locking structure 13 without external force. The filling unit 10 is moved out of the center, making it easier to transfer the prepared color card samples. When filling is required, the filling unit 10 is transferred to the filling slot 20 of the pasting device. After aligning the bottom end of the filling cavity 12 with the opening of the filling slot 20, the force is applied by the push rod, which pushes the stacked color card samples to undergo slight elastic deformation in sequence, so that they pass through the support of the locking structure 13 and fall into the filling slot 20 below. Due to the force of the pushing action, the entire stack of color card samples falls into the filling slot 20 below quickly and accurately, thus completing the filling operation.

[0021] The color card sample may include various shapes such as round, square, and polygonal, and the cross-section of the filling cavity 12 matches the color card sample. Accordingly, a locking structure 13 can be set according to the shape of the cross-section of the filling cavity 12. The locking structure 13 can be set at the corner of the polygonal shape, or on two opposite or nearly opposite sides. That is, the locking structure 13 can be composed of multiple small sheet-like structures or strip-like structures, which can play a certain role in blocking and supporting the color card sample. When the color card sample is pushed, the supporting force of the locking structure 13 will not be too large to prevent the color card sample from passing through.

[0022] To make it easier and more convenient to load the color card samples into the filling cavity 12, such as... Figure 1-2 As shown, the color card sample rapid filling tool also includes a clamp, which can clamp the stacked color card samples at both ends along the stacking direction. Along the stacking direction of the color card samples, the baffle 11 is provided with a groove 14. The width of the groove 14 is smaller than the width of the color card sample. The first end of the groove 14 extends to the filling inlet, and the second end of the groove 14 extends to the bottom end of the filling cavity 12. The clamp can extend into the filling cavity 12 through the groove 14.

[0023] The gripper can be a tweezer, clip, or other easy-to-use tool. It transfers the stacked color card samples by gripping their top and bottom ends. Due to the groove 14, the operator can maintain the gripping position while placing the stacked color card samples through the loading inlet side to the bottom of the filling cavity 12. Once in place, the gripper is released and the sample is removed from the groove 14. This not only makes operation more convenient but also ensures stable and precise placement of the color samples in the predetermined position. During operation, the filling unit 10 can be laid flat with the groove 14 facing upwards for easier operation. Furthermore, the groove 14 can also serve as a viewing window to observe whether the filled color card sample is correct in color and position, and whether there is any offset or tilting.

[0024] To further improve operational efficiency, such as Figure 3 As shown, multiple filling slots 20 are arranged in a rectangular array to form a slot group, and multiple filling units 10 are arranged according to the row or column pattern of the slot group. By setting multiple filling units 10 to correspond one-to-one with the filling slots 20, when transferring color card samples to the filling slots 20, the entire structure composed of multiple filling units 10 can be transferred to the upper side of the filling slots 20 together, improving operational efficiency. In addition, after filling the color card samples into the multiple filling units 10, the color card samples can be checked to see if they are filled according to the preset rules. If there is an incorrect filling, the color card samples can be easily removed using the aforementioned clamp and corrected to the correct state.

[0025] As a specific implementation method, such as Figure 2As shown, the filling cavity 12 has a rectangular cross-sectional shape, and multiple locking structures 13 are respectively set at the four corners of the bottom of the filling cavity 12. A rectangular sample (square sample) is a common shape for color card samples. Specifically, by setting locking structures 13 at the four corners, the inserted color card sample can be well supported. The locking structures 13 can be appropriate shapes such as triangles, squares, or circles.

[0026] As one implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, the checkpoint structure 13 is a right triangle, with its two right-angled sides connected to the baffle 11.

[0027] More specifically, the total projected area of ​​the multiple locking structures 13 is 2% to 12.5% ​​of the cross-sectional area of ​​the filling cavity 12. When a guide pin is used, the projected area of ​​the locking structure 13 can be reduced to make its area ratio close to 2%. When a guide pin is not used, the locking structure 13 needs to have a greater fixing support capacity, so its projected area needs to be increased to make its projected area ratio closer to 12.5%.

[0028] To prevent the color card samples loaded into the filling cavity 12 from easily collapsing and scattering when sliding into the filling slot 20, and especially to prevent thin and smooth color card samples from deflecting at an angle due to lack of guidance during a short descent, the color card sample rapid filling tool also includes a guide pin. The guide pin is composed of multiple layers of color card samples stacked and bonded together. The guide pin is positioned on the underside of the stacked color card samples, with its bottom abutting against the locking point structure. Specifically, the guide pin can be made by bonding and fixing more than 10 layers of color card samples to a certain thickness, but the edges of the samples are not bonded to maintain elasticity enough to pass through the locking point under pressure. If the color card samples are made of non-durable materials such as paper, a long-life fixing material such as polyester fabric can also be used to make the guide pin.

[0029] To prevent the color card samples inserted into the filling cavity 12 from shifting, especially when multiple filling units 10 are laid flat and filled sequentially, and to prevent the filled color card samples from tilting or falling over within the filling cavity, the color card sample rapid filling tool also includes a blocking bolt. The blocking bolt extends into the filling cavity 12 through the filling inlet, and its bottom end abuts against the top of the stacked color card samples, securing it within the filling cavity 12. The blocking bolt serves to temporarily support and fix the color card samples, and it can be made of elastic materials such as foam.

[0030] To facilitate the placement of color card samples into filling cavity 12, such as Figure 1 As shown, the chute 14 includes a notch section 141 and a body section 142, with the notch section 141 being wider than the body section 142. The notch section 141 facilitates easier alignment and placement of the loading port during operation, and it also guides the movement of the gripper and the color card sample.

[0031] Furthermore, the width of the groove 14 can be gradually reduced as it extends from the notch segment 141 to the body segment 142. The gradually narrowing groove 14 can guide the gripper into the narrower body segment 142 of the groove 14.

[0032] As a specific implementation method, the notch section 141 can play a guiding role as appropriate. The groove 14 of the body section 142 is thinner and the baffle 11 has a larger area, which can better fix and limit the color card sample. Therefore, the notch section 141 should not be too long. The notch section 141 accounts for 10% to 20% of the total length of the groove 14.

[0033] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments are specific examples of implementing this disclosure, and in practical applications, various changes can be made in form and detail without departing from the scope of this disclosure.
