1. Field of the Invention
The invention is related to a top press plate for folder gluer, especially, an improved top press plate of aluminum extrude with specific clamp that can be fast assembled and disassembled to increase quality and efficiency for box manufacturing.
2. Description of the Prior Art
For a common folder gluer, the plates on both sides of the conveyor have a stop with the top press plate of aluminum extrude. The stop is fixed onto the plate through screws at its bottom, while a hollow joint at its top accommodates more than one clamp at a designated position. In a practical operation, extra functional components such as C base, lifter, strip and stopper etc. are provided to achieve integrated automation for paper box forming.
Nevertheless, the aluminum extrude does not have the desirable design in the joint for connection and fixation with the clamp. The joint is hollow, so the clamp has to enter from one end to a predetermined position. Thus, before the preparatory work for gluer operation, the number of clamps needs to be confirmed. Besides, each clamp needs to be placed at the designated position for fixation purpose. This is extremely inconvenient when paper jam occurs in the conveyor and extra clamps and functional components are needed. Further, the existing aluminum extrude does not match the joint in size. It has to manufacture a variety of clamps. Therefore, the clamps at different positions on the aluminum extrude have different structure and size. They may create hassles and inconvenience for operators because they are not interchangeable. It is needless to say that they are economical.
In view, of this, the inventor for the invention with many years of experience in the design and manufacturing for folder gluer has made a thorough improvement on the above-mentioned shortcoming and developed a top press plate of aluminum extrude and its clamp assembly for folder gluer. It is expected to significantly benefit the industry.
The main objective for the present invention is to provide a top press plate of aluminum extrude and its clamp assembly for folder gluer. The aluminum extrude for the top press plate is made in rectangle with constant dimensions, so it can accommodate more than one clamp and functional component to facilitate paper box manufacturing. Particularly, it is simple and fast for clamp to assemble and disassemble. For operators, it saves time and efforts. On the other hand, the clamp can work with all kinds of functional components to overcome issues in an integrated box manufacturing process. In this way, it improves the overall paper box product quality and operation efficiency. The operators, are able to make immediate adjustment and correction to achieve the desirable goal and greatly improve economic benefits.
The objectives, features and benefits for the present invention can be further demonstrated through the following preferred embodiment with graphic illustration.
Specific Drawing:
(1) The designated diagram for the present invention is
(2) The legends for the components are as follows:
Please refer to
The aluminum extrudes (131) above the above-mentioned top press plate (13) adopts constant and uniform dimensional specifications that fit with the machine bas. In a practical operation, the aluminum extrude (131) provides more than one clamp (20). The clamp (20) is only to work with the lifter. On the other hand, the clamp (20) can be easily connected or removed at any place of the machine base where it fits. As shown in
The above description is for the structural features of the present invention. A practical operation would be like : in an integrated automated process for paper box, semi-finished product is fed from the front of the machine and runs fast between the left and the right fixation sliders (10). Through the top and bottom transmission belts (132121), the semi-finished product moves forward stepwise through folding, gluing, squeezing, pressing and forming. If wrinkling, edge lifting, rough conveying, declining and paper jam happen, operators can install more than one clamp (20) on the aluminum extrude (131) for the top press plate (13) (at the location that malfunction occurs). Operators can also use appropriate functional components (such as clamp, aluminum block, strip, stopper and lifter etc.) to fix the problem and reduce the defect rate while increasing yield and efficiency.
As shown in
The top press plate and clamp assembly for folder gluer in the present invention unifies the structure of aluminum extrude with the similar component in the machine base in uniform dimensional specifications, so more than one clamp or functional component can be used to facilitate the process and minimize downtime. More importantly, its fast and easy assembly and disassembly does not trouble the operators at all. On the other hand, the unique design for the clamp and functional components can help troubleshoot for an integrated automated box making process with overall quality and efficiency. Besides, operators can timely make adjustment and correction to achieve the desired goals and greatly improve economic benefits.
In summary, it is hoped the examination committee has a thorough understanding of the present invention for a top press plate and clamp assembly for folder gluer. The invention can achieve the expected objectives and benefits without being released to public yet, so it shall meet the requirements for innovation, practical usability and advancement. Accordingly, a patent application is filed.
The above description is only for a preferred embodiment for the present invention. Any modification and adjustment by people familiar with the skills in the field creating the equivalent benefits shall be covered within the claims by the inventor.
