Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of book boxes, and in particular to a belt conveyor book box device. Background Art

[0002] A library is an institution that collects, organizes, and stores books and materials for people to read and refer to. When readers return borrowed books, librarians need to put the returned books back to the corresponding locations, and this process often takes a lot of time, so these books need to be temporarily stored and put back after the library closes. At present, the capacity of self-service book storage boxes varies. Self-service book storage boxes with small capacity will not cause book accumulation, but the amount of books stored is small; while self-service book storage boxes with large capacity, although they can store a large amount of books, are prone to books piling up at the end of the box and the overall capacity of the box cannot be effectively utilized. This low capacity utilization leads to the overall book return capacity failing to meet operational requirements and cannot be put into market application. Summary of the invention

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] It should be understood that the terms used in this specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. As used in the specification of the present invention and the appended claims, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms.

[0022] It should be further understood that the term "and / or" used in the present description and the appended claims refers to any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0023] See below Figure 1 and Figure 2The belt conveyor book box device provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes: a book box body 1 and a transmission component arranged at the bottom of the book box body 1, the transmission component includes an active roller 4 arranged at one end of the book box body 1, a driven roller 3 arranged at the other end of the book box body 1, a flat belt 6 wound between the active roller 4 and the driven roller 3, and a driving component, the driving component includes a motor 7 and a coupling 10 connected to the motor 7, the coupling 10 is connected to the active roller 4, and drives the active roller 4 to roll.

[0024] In this embodiment, the book box body 1 is the main structure of the belt conveyor book box device, and the book box body 1 is provided with a book stacking area and a conveying component, the book stacking area is used to place returned books, and the conveying component is used to transport books located in the book stacking area. The flat belt 6 is sleeved on the active roller 4 and the driven roller 3 located on both sides of the bottom of the book box body 1, and the active roller 4 is driven by the motor 7 to roll, thereby driving the flat belt 6 to transport books.

[0025] Specifically, the active roller 4 may be located at the entrance of the book box body 1 (i.e., the entrance), and the driven roller 3 may be located at the exit of the book box body 1 (i.e., the exit), and the active roller 4 and the driven roller 3 are linked by the flat belt 6. When the motor 7 is in a working state, the motor 7 drives the coupling 10 to rotate coaxially, and the coupling 10 drives the active roller 4 to roll. When the active roller 4 rolls, the flat belt 6 sleeved on the active roller 4 will move in the same direction as the active roller 4, and drive the driven roller 3 to roll together, so that the books placed on the flat belt 6 are transported from the entrance of the book box body 1 to the exit of the book box body 1.

[0026] It is worth noting that when the conveying component is transporting, the stacked books may not be directly transported to the exit of the book box body 1. For example, in a specific application scenario, the stacked books may be transported a certain distance in the direction of the exit of the book box body 1, so that books can continue to be stacked at the entrance of the book box body 1. In this way, when the books are transported to the exit of the book box body 1, the internal capacity of the book box body 1 has also been filled, making full use of the internal capacity of the book box body 1. The above-mentioned transportation method can also prevent the books from being transported to the exit too early, resulting in either the books at the exit having to be taken out, or the books at the exit colliding with the inner wall of the exit during the next transportation process, affecting the operation of the conveying component.

[0027] In a specific application scenario, when the conveying component is transporting, the distance of each transport can be equivalent to the length of a book, with a maximum increase of 1 cm. This can ensure that newly placed books will not be blocked by existing books, while ensuring that the internal capacity of the book box body 1 is maximized.

[0028] In one embodiment, a book box door 2 is disposed at the front end of the book box body 1 , a door handle 11 is disposed on the book box door 2 , and the bottom end of the book box door 2 is connected to the book box body 1 via a hinge 17 .

[0029] In this embodiment, the book box door 2 is connected to the front end of the book box body 1 (i.e., the exit of the book box body 1) by a hinge 17, and the opening and closing of the book box door 2 can be controlled by a door handle 11 provided on the book box door 2. Books are put in from the end of the book box body 1 (i.e., the entrance of the book box body 1), and when a certain number of books are piled up, they are transported to the empty space at the front end of the book box body 1 by a flat belt 6. When the internal capacity of the book box body 1 is full, the book box door 2 is opened to take out the books piled in the book box body 1 so that more books can be put into the book box body 1.

[0030] In a specific application scenario, a block is provided at the top of the front end of the book box body 1, and a slot is provided downwardly on the block. A fan-shaped baffle is coaxially and co-directionally fixedly provided on the door handle 11, and the fan-shaped baffle is adapted to the slot. When the door handle 11 is twisted upward, the fan-shaped baffle will be stuck in the slot, and the book box door 2 is closed at this time. When the door handle 11 is twisted downward, the fan-shaped baffle is twisted out of the slot, and the book box door 2 is opened at this time.

[0031] In one embodiment, an inclined book guide plate 18 is extended upward from the end of the book box body 1, an end connecting plate is provided inwardly on the book guide plate 18, and a book box entrance sensor 20 for sensing the book stacking height at the book box entrance is provided on the end connecting plate.

[0032] In this embodiment, the book guide plate 18 is tiltedly arranged at the end of the book box body 1 (i.e., the entrance of the book box body 1), and the end connecting plate can be arranged at the bottom of the book guide plate 18. The book box entrance sensor 20 senses the height of the stacked books to enable the conveying component to transport. When books are put into the book box body 1 through the book guide plate 18, as the number of stacked books increases, the height of the book stacking increases accordingly. When the predetermined height is reached, the book box entrance sensor 20 is triggered, and a feedback signal is sent to the conveying component, so that the conveying component transports the books at the entrance of the book box body 1 to the direction of the exit of the book box body 1.

[0033] In one embodiment, a front connecting plate is provided inwardly at the front end of the book box body 1, and a book box full sensor 19 for sensing the stacking height of books at the book outlet is provided on the front connecting plate. In this embodiment, the front connecting plate is provided at the front end of the book box body 1, and the front connecting plate can be located at the same horizontal line as the end connecting plate. The book box full sensor 19 is provided on the front connecting plate, corresponding to the book box entrance sensor 20. Since the conveying component does not directly transport the books to the exit of the book box body 1 when transporting books, but stops transporting each time after transporting a certain distance, therefore, when the book box full sensor 19 senses books at the front end of the book box body 1 (i.e., the book box exit), it means that the book box body 1 exit is full of books, and when the book box entrance sensor 20 senses books of a corresponding height, it means that the inside of the book box body 1 is full of books, and the books should be taken out of the inside of the book box body 1. By using the book box full sensor 19 in conjunction with the book box entrance sensor 20, a more accurate judgment can be made on the usage of the internal space of the book box body 1, and the internal book stacking situation of the book box body 1 can be intuitively displayed to avoid the situation where too many books are stacked inside the book box body 1 or the internal capacity is excessive.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, support plates 12 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the book box body 1, and anti-deviation devices 13 are provided at the front end and the end of the support plate 12. Figure 4 The anti-deviation device 13 includes a bracket 131 fixed on the support plate 12, a bearing 132 fixed on the bracket 131, and a V-shaped roller 133 rotatably connected to the bearing. The support plate 12 is provided with a through hole for the V-shaped roller 133 to span the inside and outside of the support plate 12, and the flat belt 6 is placed in the groove of the V-shaped roller 133. In this embodiment, the support plate 12 is arranged on both sides of the bottom of the book box body 1, and can be used to support the transmission assembly.

[0035] When the flat belt 6 is transported, the tension of the left and right sides of the flat belt 6 may be inconsistent during the transportation process, which may cause the flat belt 6 to generate a component force in the axial direction, which will cause the flat belt 6 to deviate in the direction of the component force, affecting the transportation effect. The anti-deviation device 13 in this embodiment can effectively avoid this situation. The principle of the anti-deviation device 13 in this embodiment is: when the tension on the left side of the flat belt 6 is large, the flat belt 6 deviates to the left, and the flat belt 6 contacts the V-shaped roller 133 arranged on the left side. The V-shaped roller 133 generates friction due to contact with the flat belt 6 and rotates with the friction (it can be regarded as the flat belt 6 giving the V-shaped roller a force). At this time, the V-shaped roller 133 will give the flat belt 6 a reaction force. Under the push of the reaction force, the flat belt 6 will return to normal, and because the friction between the V-shaped roller 133 and the flat belt 6 is rolling friction, the friction is small, so the side of the flat belt 6 is not easy to be damaged due to friction with the V-shaped roller 133.

[0036] In a specific application scenario, the bracket 131 includes a horizontal plate, two vertical plates perpendicular to the top surface of the horizontal plate, and an extension plate extending horizontally toward the through hole. The vertical plates are respectively located on the left and right sides of the horizontal plate. A hole is provided in the middle of the vertical plate, and a threaded hole corresponding to the hole is provided on the support plate 12. Fasteners (such as screws or bolts) pass through the hole and are fixed to the threaded hole to fix the vertical plate on the support plate 12, thereby fixing the bracket 131 on the support plate 12. The bearing 132 is fixed to the bottom surface of the extension plate, the V-shaped roller 133 is rotatably connected to the bearing 132, and the flat belt 6 is placed in the groove of the V-shaped roller 133.

[0037] In one embodiment, a first bearing seat 9 is provided on both sides of one end of the bottom of the book box body 1, and a first bearing assembly 21 for supporting the rolling of the active roller 4 is provided on the first bearing seat 9; a second bearing seat 16 is provided on both sides of the other end of the bottom of the book box body 1, and a second bearing assembly 5 for supporting the rolling of the driven roller 3 is provided on the second bearing seat 16.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first bearing seat 9 is arranged at both sides of the bottom of the end of the book box body 1, the first bearing assembly 21 is arranged on the first bearing seat 9, and the first bearing seat 9 and the first bearing assembly 21 are both sleeved on the active roller 4. Specifically, the first bearing seat 9 can be fixed on the support plate 12.

[0039] The second bearing seat 16 is arranged at both sides of the bottom of the front end of the book box body 1, the second bearing assembly 5 is arranged on the second bearing seat 16, and the second bearing seat 16 and the second bearing assembly 5 are both sleeved on the driven roller 3. Specifically, the second bearing seat 16 can be fixed on the support plate 12.

[0040] In one embodiment, a photoelectric component 14 is provided on the support plate 12 on one side of the bottom of the book box body 1, and a reflector component 15 is provided on the support plate 12 on the other side, and the photoelectric component 14 and the reflector component 15 are arranged opposite to each other to form a photoelectric detection mechanism.

[0041] The photoelectric component 14 is used to emit light to the reflector component 15. When the reflector component 15 receives the light, it reflects it in the direction of the photoelectric component 14, thereby forming a light channel. By monitoring whether the light channel is connected, it can be determined whether there are books stacked at the bottom of the book box body 1. If the light channel is connected, it means that there is space inside the book box body 1, and books can be put into the book box body 1; if the light channel is not connected, it means that books are stored inside the book box body 1. At this time, the storage situation inside the book box body 1 should be determined in combination with the book box full sensor 19 and the book box entrance sensor 20.

[0042] In one embodiment, the entrance and exit at the bottom of the book box body 1 are both provided with the photoelectric detection mechanism. In this embodiment, two photoelectric detection mechanisms are provided, which are respectively located at the bottom of the entrance of the book box body 1 and the bottom of the exit of the book box body 1. When the light channel formed by the photoelectric detection mechanism at the bottom of the entrance of the book box body 1 is in a connected state or the light channel formed by the photoelectric detection mechanism at the bottom of the exit of the book box body 1 is in a connected state, it means that there is space inside the book box body 1, and books can continue to be put in; when the light channel formed by the photoelectric detection mechanism at the bottom of the entrance of the book box body 1 and the photoelectric detection mechanism at the bottom of the exit of the book box body 1 are not connected, it is determined whether there is still space for books inside the book box body 1 in combination with the book box entrance sensor 20.

[0043] In one embodiment, the driving assembly further comprises a motor mounting seat 8, the motor mounting seat 8 is a U-shaped mounting seat, the motor 7 is mounted on the top of the motor mounting seat 8, the motor mounting seat 8 is horizontally extended outwardly and provided with a mounting plate, the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the support plate 12 through a fixing member, and the active roller 4 is located in the U-shaped groove of the motor mounting seat 8. In this embodiment, the motor mounting seat 8 is fixed to the outside of the support plate 12 through a fixing member (such as a screw or a bolt), the motor 7 is arranged outwardly on the top of the motor mounting seat 8, the coupling 10 is arranged in the U-shaped groove of the motor mounting seat 8, the first bearing seat 9 and the first bearing assembly 21 are both arranged in the U-shaped groove, and the active roller 4 is connected through the coupling 10, so that when the motor 7 is working, the active roller 4 is driven to roll.

[0044] In one embodiment, the book box entrance sensor 20 and the book box full sensor 19 are both photoelectric sensors. A photoelectric sensor is a device that converts light signals into electrical signals, and controls the transportation of the conveyor assembly by converting changes in light intensity into changes in electrical signals.
