DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present utility model is further detailed in combination with the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an equipment for making an album core automatically, comprising automatic feeding mechanisms connected in proper order for feeding an album paper and an interlayer, a folding mechanism for folding the album paper along the middle line of the album paper and a pasting mechanism for pasting the album or the interlayer by coating glue, wherein the automatic feeding mechanisms include an album paper feeding mechanism 1, an interlayer feeding mechanism 2 and a control mechanism connected to the feeding mechanisms, the control system is set as desired or according to the program and automatically determines which one feeding mechanism shall be selected according to album type demand. When it is required to make an album without the interlayer, the control system keeps controlling the action of album paper feeding mechanism 1, but the interlayer feeding mechanism 2 fails to work, in this way to complete the album paper feeding; when it is required to make an album with the interlayer, the control system alternately controls the actions of the album paper feeding mechanism 1 and the interlayer feeding mechanism 2, thus to complete the album paper and interlayer feeding actions in turn.

Both the album paper feeding mechanism 1 and the interlayer feeding mechanism 2 are mainly composed of paper storage portion 11, 21 for placing, positioning the album paper or interlayer, and paper conveying portion 13, 23 for transferring album paper or interlayer to the creasing mechanism. The album paper feeding mechanism 1 and the interlayer feeding mechanism 2 further include a sheet separating mechanism 12, 22 between the paper storage portion 11, 21 and paper conveying portion 13, 23, wherein the album paper is placed in the album paper storage portion 11 and the interlayer is placed in the interlayer feeding slot portion 12; multiple pieces of album paper can be laid in the album paper storage portion 11 from top to bottom, thus the album paper can be pulled out by pages by means of the sheet separating mechanism 12 on the album paper feeding mechanism 1 when the album paper is required according to system need; similar to the album paper feeding mechanism 1, multiple interlayers can be laid on the interlayer feeding mechanism 2 in the order from top to bottom, thus the interlayer can be pulled out by pieces by means of the sheet separating mechanism on the interlayer feeding mechanism 2 when the interlayer is required according to system need. The interlayer feeding mechanism further includes one or multiple paper storage portions 21 for placing the interlayer. When several feeding slot portions 21 are provided, the interlayers made of the same materials or different materials can be placed on the feeding slot portions 21. When an interlay with larger thickness or special thickness is required for an album, limited by the design parameters of the pasting mechanism of the equipment, it is required to transfer the interlayers with different thicknesses or the same thickness made of same materials on the multiple feeding slot portions into the pasting mechanism so as to make an album of the type conforming to design requirements. In addition, interlayers made of different materials can be put on the multiple feeding slot portions and different feeding slot portions can be selected according to the need so as to make an album with interlayers of different types.

The creasing mechanism includes a pressing mechanism and a detecting device for measuring the album paper length. The detecting device automatically calculates the length of the album paper and transfers the middle location of the album paper to the location right below the pressing mechanism for pressing in order to complete the creasing of the album paper.

The folding mechanism mainly consists of paper feeding roller mechanism 4 for drawing and rolling the middle crease location of album paper; the paper feeding roller mechanism 4 is composed of two rollers interacting with each other. During folding, the middle line of album paper shall be oriented first. When the middle crease of album paper is just in the feeding location of two rollers, since the crease location is lower than the entire plane of album paper, the roller will fold the whole album paper according to the crease to put into two rollers for rolling.

The pasting mechanism includes an absorption cylinder 5 connected with the folding mechanism, a glue applying mechanism 6 set on one side of the absorption cylinder 5, a platform 7 beneath the absorption cylinder 5, and a driving mechanism connected with the absorption cylinder 5 and the platform 7 capable of moving up and down; the absorption cylinder 5 consists of the absorption mouth for absorbing the album paper or interlayer, a vacuum pipe connected with the absorption mouth and an evacuation system connected with the vacuum pipe.

When the absorption cylinder 5 is up to the peak point, album paper or interlayer is fed into the absorption mouth by alignment with the middle crease. With the rotation of the absorption cylinder 5, album paper or interlayer turns to the location of the glue applying mechanism 6, then the glue applying mechanism 6 applies glue onto album or interlayer. However, when the absorption cylinder 5 gets at the lowest point, the platform is raised under the action of the driving mechanism, and the linear speed of the cylinder 5 is consistent with the moving speed of the platform 7, so as to guarantee that the album paper with or without interlayer is rolled and pasted by the platform 7 and the cylinder 5, thus making the glue surface of current piece of album paper or interlayer bonded with the non-coating surface of the last piece of album paper or interlayer. Repeat the steps above to complete the making of the album core. For making album with interlayer, the equipment automatically sends out an interlayer from the interlayer feeding mechanism and paste an interlayer between two piece of album paper. Repeat such shifting action to complete the making of album core with interlayer automatically.
