The plurality of rollers 231 are all rotatably connected to the connecting frame 233. The pallet 241 is located at the gap 232 between any two adjacent rollers 231. The connecting frame 233 is hinged to the bracket 242. The output end of the swing drive structure 22 is connected to the connecting frame 233. The swing drive structure 22 drives the connecting frame 233 to swing so that the pallet 241 passes through the gap 232 and supports the books. The clamping assembly is connected to the bracket 242. The clamping assembly moves in the vertical direction to cooperate with the pallet 241 to clamp the books. The bracket 242 is slidably connected to the frame 21. The bracket 242 slides relative to the frame 21 along the first direction to move the books to the bundling rope mechanism 30.

[0035] Books stacked together are placed on the first conveyor 11. The first conveyor 11 is used to support the books and drive them to move in the front-rear direction. When the books move to the position of the movable baffle 13, the first conveyor 11 stops driving the books to move forward. The movable baffle 13 and the fixed baffle 12 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. The movable baffle 13 moves towards the fixed baffle 12 to cooperate with the fixed baffle 12 to clamp the books, so as to align the stacked books, which is convenient for subsequent book clamping and bundling operations and improves the bundling effect. After the books are aligned, the movable baffle 13 moves away from the fixed baffle 12 to release the books, and the first conveyor 11 continues to drive the books forward to the second conveyor 23. The second conveyor 23 includes a connecting frame 233 and a plurality of rollers 231 arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction on the connecting frame 233. The plurality of rollers 231 are all rotatably connected to the connecting frame 233, and the second conveyor 23 transports the books forward by the rotation of the rollers 231. The supporting plate 241 is located at the gap 232 between any two adjacent rollers 231. The output end of the swing driving structure 22 is connected to the connecting frame 233, and the swing driving structure 22 drives the connecting frame 233 to swing, so that the supporting plate 241 passes through the gap 232 and supports the books. The rotation of the rollers 231 drives the books to move forward until the books move to the corresponding position of the book clamping structure 24. The rollers 231 stop driving the books to move forward, and the swing driving structure 22 drives the connecting frame 233 to swing, so that the supporting plate 241 passes through the gap 232, and the books fall onto the supporting plate 241. The clamping assembly moves in the up-down direction to cooperate with the supporting plate 241 to clamp the books, so that the books are not easily disordered and the book feeding can be stably completed. The bracket 242 slides forward relative to the frame 21, and the bracket 242 drives the books to move forward to the bundling mechanism 30.

When the books move to the detection position of the aligning induction device 14, the first conveyor 11 stops moving forward. The movable baffle 13 and the fixed baffle 12 cooperate to align the books, and then the movable baffle 13 releases the books. The first conveyor 11 continues to move forward and drives the books to move to the second conveyor 23. After the next stack of books is transported to the aligning mechanism 10 and aligned, it waits for the book clamping structure 24 to reset after transporting the previous stack of books and then continues to transport.

The book pushing plate 42 moves between the book pushing origin position and the book pushing end position. The book pushing mechanism 40 further includes a book pushing limit device and a book pushing origin device. The book pushing limit device is used to detect whether the book pushing plate 42 moves to the book pushing end position. The book pushing origin device is used to detect whether the book pushing plate 42 moves to the book pushing origin position, so as to realize detecting whether the book pushing plate 42 is reset to the origin. By setting the book pushing limit device and the book pushing origin device, the reliability of the book pushing mechanism 40 is improved.

[0059] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 , the aligning mechanism 10 further includes an aligning cylinder 15. The output end of the aligning cylinder 15 is connected to the movable baffle 13. The aligning cylinder 15 drives the movable baffle 13 to move in the direction close to the fixed baffle 12 to clamp the book.

[0060] The cylinder has the advantages of stable output and convenient installation. The output end of the aligning cylinder 15 is connected to the movable baffle 13. The aligning cylinder 15 drives the movable baffle 13 to move in the direction close to the fixed baffle 12 to clamp the book, so as to realize aligning the book. The aligning cylinder 15 drives the movable baffle 13 to move in the direction away from the fixed baffle 12 to release the book.

[0061] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied to other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
