Embodiments of the invention relate to a paper cutting machine, specifically relates to a in situ chipping cut and conveyor machine with positioning and conveying method, which is used for chopping cut into strips for diagnostic test paper.
There are two current methods of the current production process of test paper, one is rolling cut, another is chopping cut, in the existing conventional cut production, the diagnostic test paper sheet (strip sheet) need chopping cut into strips (for example: length×width for 60 mm*5 mm), then the test paper strip falls down from the cutting off position along the surface of the lower cutter, and it drops into to a container, through manual classification of the test paper quality, the finished strip manually placed into a plastic card.
Both above two methods have the defects that the test paper strip turns over, and cannot accurately be positioned in the production process. Japanese patent JP3113949 provides a cutting machine with paper pressing unit, as shown in
As shown in
As shown in
The pressure board is independent of the rail 52 and is arranged on the bottom plate 51, and is always pressed to the rail 52 through a compression spring 59 (push pressing device). In addition, the press plate is pressed vertically o the bottom plate 51 by a pressing pin arranged on the rail 52. The position of the pressing board is fixed by fixing the guide component 60 on the pressure board, the rail 52 is clipped in the middle.
If the movable component 61 is rotated clockwise around the pin P1 from state (I) to state (II), a pin P2 installed at the front end of the rail 52 can move along the guide hole 57, through the connecting component 58. At this point, the rail 52 moves to the right direction in
By inserting the paper to cut into the gap, it is easy to locate the chopping cut position along the edge of the pressing board. After the chopping cut position of the paper is matched, the movable component 61 rotates around the pin P1 in an anti-clockwise direction. At this point, the two ends of rail 52 move to the left and down in
Due to the vertical motion of rail 52, the rail 52 move horizontally between state (IV) and state (V). When the rail 52 moves horizontally, the front end of the pressing pin arranged on the rail 52 rubs against the top surface of the pressing board for the rail 52 and the pressing board are separated.
The horizontal movement of the pressing board is limited by fixing component 62 and the supporting component 54, so that the move direction of the pressing board is along the vertical direction of the bottom plate 51. When the pressing board moves downward, due to pressure the papers stack on the bottom plate 51 are kept between the pressing board and the bottom plate 51, so that the stacking state of the paper is not damaged.
According to the pressing paper unit revealed by the patent document, as mentioned above, even a lot of paper to be cut stacked on the bottom plate 51, the papers can also be easily located in chopping cut position. Meanwhile, it should prevent offsetting of paper to be cut, because the pressure board can only move along the vertical direction.
However, the rail 52 moves down together with horizontal movement, specifically by pressing the slider slides on the rail 52 without rotating the moving part 61, and the rail 52 is declined. In such a situation, the slider move horizontally to the paper to be cut, as the horizontal movement of rail 52.
The patent tries to provide a way to achieve accurate positioning of the cutting down paper through compaction of paper to be cut by pressing board, but without pressure the paper that placed on the bottom plate 51 is held at a final chopping cut position without the pressure of pressing board, and when the paper strip width is narrow, the paper strip may curl due to its scalability. Therefore, this way is not good for solving the difficult problem that the test paper strip turns over, cannot accurately positioned in production process.
At present, some manufacturers in the USA, also developed automatic chopping cut clamping machine, the test paper strip fed by the big plate of the machine, can be supported by metal surface before chopping cut, then is positioned and picked up by manipulator, when the test paper strip is cut, it can be absorbed by vacuum and be lifted upward, then moves along the same direction of the big plate feed and is directly transferred and plated to plastic card, finally returns for pick up again, if the test paper strip has defects, will be discarded.
The biggest problem of this way is when the strip is very narrow (such as less than 5 mm), the surface of the test paper strip is very small, it is difficult to positioned and picked up by manipulator, and the test paper of this width is currently the largest part of the production capacity. At the same time, when the test paper strip surface is relatively rough, it is difficult to positioned and picked up through vacuum adsorption.
