The front book block 306 is movably arranged on the front baffle 31, the front book block locking handle 307 is installed on the front book block 306, the right baffle 33 is installed on the right baffle adjusting rod 36, and the left baffle The left and right stop gauge adjustment slide blocks 304 and 305 slide on the left and right stop gauge adjustment slide blocks 39 and 38 respectively, thereby adjusting the openings of the left and right stop gauges 34 and 33; after rotating the first and second rear baffle handles 30 and 301, the rear baffle 32 is adjusted to slide on the left and right stop gauge adjustment rods 35 and 36, and the front book block locking handle 307 is rotated to adjust the height of the front book block 306 so that the lower plane of the front book block 306 is located in the middle and lower part of the book stack; the book sorting trolley 41 pushes the books along the direction of movement of the book stack, and the upper book of the pushed book stack will fall onto the book receiving belt 43, and the book sorting trolley 41 pushes the books to the conveying mechanism. The left and right stop gauges 33 are adjusted so that the bookcases 30 and 31 can be easily opened and closed.Turn the front book block locking handle 307 to adjust the height of the front book block 306 so that the lower plane of the front book block 306 is located in the lower middle part of the N+1th book (to ensure that the N+1th book is not taken away by the book sorting trolley 41); turn the right stop gauge adjustment handle 302 and the left stop gauge adjustment handle 303 to adjust the opening of the right stop gauge 33 and the right stop gauge 33. The left stop gauge 34 and the right stop gauge 33 are installed on the left stop gauge adjustment rod 35 and the right stop gauge adjustment rod 36. The left stop gauge adjustment rod 303 is used to adjust the opening of the right stop gauge 33. 5 and the right stop gauge adjustment rod 36 are installed on the left stop gauge adjustment slide bar 39 and the right stop gauge adjustment slide bar 38, and the left stop gauge adjustment slider 304 and the right stop gauge adjustment slider 305 slide on the left and right stop gauge adjustment slide bars 37, thereby adjusting the opening of the left stop gauge 34 and the right stop gauge 33; the position of the rear stop gauge 32 can be adjusted by rotating the first rear stop handle 30 and the second rear stop gauge 32, so that the rear stop gauge 32 can slide on the left stop gauge adjustment rod 35 and the right stop gauge adjustment rod 36.

[0029] In this embodiment, the stacking and sorting device further includes a photoelectric detection switch 5, which is arranged on the workbench 1, and the position of the photoelectric detection switch 5 is opposite to the position of the book drop bucket.

[0030] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a transmission wheel 21 , an upper transmission belt 22 , and a lower transmission belt 23 . The upper transmission belt 22 and the lower transmission belt 23 drive the transmission wheel 21 to rotate.

[0031] In this embodiment, the stacking and sorting device further includes a rotating handle 11, which is disposed on the conveyor mechanism 2. Rotating the rotating handle 11 adjusts the opening of the conveyor mechanism 2, causing the stack of books to slide between the upper conveyor belt 22 and the lower conveyor belt 23. Rotating the rotating handle 11 adjusts the opening of the conveyor mechanism 2 so that the stack of books slides between the upper conveyor belt 22 and the lower conveyor belt 23 with resistance but without excessive tension, thereby ensuring that the stack of books can be stably transported by the conveyor mechanism 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, a conveying mechanism protective cover 6 is further provided on the workbench 1. The conveying mechanism protective cover 6 is provided above the conveying mechanism 2. The front baffle 31 is provided in front of the conveying mechanism protective cover 6 and is fixedly connected to the conveying mechanism protective cover 6. The purpose of designing the conveying mechanism protective cover 6 is to protect the conveying mechanism 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, the workbench 1 is further provided with locking screws 12, which are fixedly connected to fixing holes 430 formed in the book receiving belt 43. There are four locking screws 12. During use, the four locking screws 12 are loosened with an open-end wrench, the book sorting trolley 41 is moved so that the front end of the trolley 41 is retracted 1-2 mm behind the rear baffle 32, and then the four locking screws 12 are locked.

[0034] In this embodiment, a mounting seat 13 is further provided on the workbench 1 , and the left and right stop gauge adjustment slide bars 37 are installed on the mounting seat 13 .

[0035] In this embodiment, the driving device is a cam mechanism or a servo motor. The cam mechanism or the servo motor is designed to drive the sub-mechanism 4 to work.

[0036] The specific working mode of this device is as follows:

[0037] When the rough copy of a book or periodical falls into the book drop bucket, the position of the book drop bucket is adjusted so that the height of the book drop bucket reaches the detection range of the photoelectric detection switch 5. The drive system drives the book sorting trolley 41 to push the book along the direction of movement of the book pile. During the pushing process, the upper book of the pushed book pile 7 (i.e., the N+1th book) will fall onto the book receiving belt 43. The two ends of the book receiving belt 43 are fixed to the workbench 1, and the book receiving cover does not move along the direction of movement of the book pile. Therefore, the N+1th book will not be taken away by the book pile pushed by the book sorting trolley 41. In addition, the function of the front book block 306 to block the book enables the entire book sorting mechanism 4 to sort books efficiently, stably and accurately. If there are no fixing holes 430 at both ends of the book receiving belt 43 to be fixed to the workbench 1, when sorting thin books (less than 5 mm thick), it is easy to cause the book to be pushed too much, pushed too little or stuck, which greatly affects the efficiency and stability. When the book sorting trolley 41 is pushed to the conveying mechanism 2, the book stack 7 is transported to the book stack position by the conveying mechanism 2, and then sent to the three-sided cutting system by other mechanisms. At this time, the book sorting trolley 41 begins to return to the adjusted initial position. During the return process, since the book stack on the book sorting trolley 41 falls on the book receiving belt 43, the book stack falls smoothly to the bottom of the book drop bucket along the book receiving belt 43 (at this time, the upper plane of the book receiving belt 43 is lower than the bottom plane of the book drop bucket), thus completing a working cycle, that is, completing a book sorting action.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention description and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
