[0035] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0036] Reference Figure 1-Figure 6 The present invention provides a novel letter cancellation machine, comprising:

[0037] A fixed frame 1, on the inner wall of the fixed frame 1, a plurality of equally spaced transmission mechanisms 12 are horizontally arranged, a conveyor belt 6 is installed on the surface of the transmission mechanism 12, support plates 15 are fixedly installed at the center of the inner walls on both sides of the fixed frame 1, a same pad 16 is installed at one end of the two support plates 15, the pad 16 is located below the center of the conveyor belt 6, the surface of the pad 16 is attached to the bottom of the upper transmission belt of the conveyor belt 6, a light sensor 13 and a light receiver 2 19 are respectively installed at both sides of the top outer wall of one support plate 15 near the inner wall of the fixed frame 1, and a light receiver 1 17 and a light sensor 2 18 are respectively installed at both sides of the top outer wall of the other support plate 15 near the inner wall of the fixed frame 1;

[0038] A driving mechanism 2, a mounting plate 3 is fixed on an outer wall of one side of one end of the fixing frame 1, the driving mechanism 2 is fixed on the surface of the mounting plate 3, and the driving mechanism 2 is used to drive the transmission mechanism 12 and the conveyor belt 6 to rotate;

[0039] The unloading plate 4 is installed on the outer wall of one side of the fixing frame 1 close to the mounting plate 3, one side of the unloading plate 4 is in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 6, and both sides of the top outer wall of the unloading plate 4 close to the center line of the conveyor belt 6 are installed with blocking bars 5, and one end of the bottom outer wall of the blocking bar 5 is in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 6;

[0040] The stamping robot arm 8 is fixed with a mounting frame 7 at the center of the top outer wall of the fixing frame 1. The stamping robot arm 8 is arranged on one side of the top outer wall center of the mounting frame 7 close to the discharge plate 4. A controller 11 is fixed on one side outer wall of the mounting frame 7.

[0041] As can be seen from the above, when in use, the driving mechanism 2 is started to drive the transmission mechanism 12 to rotate. If a letter is suitable for passing through the baffle 5, the staff will push it to the conveyor belt 6 between the discharge plates 4 of the two baffles 5. The letter moves to the mounting frame 7 driven by the conveyor belt 6. After the stamping robot arm 8 detects the thickness of the letter, it adjusts its distance from the letter, and then stops adjusting after the light sensor 1 13 sends a signal. After the light sensor 2 18 sends a signal, the stamping robot arm 8 is started to perform the stamping work to press the ink on the surface of the letter.

[0042] Specifically, a main control board is disposed inside the controller 11 , and the main control board is a 51 single chip microcomputer. An operation panel 9 is installed on the surface of the controller 11 .

[0043] From the above, it can be seen that the running program of the device is set by the 51 single-chip microcomputer, thereby facilitating the stamping work.

[0044] Specifically, a discharge plate 10 is installed at one end of the fixing frame 1 away from the discharge plate 4 , and one end of the discharge plate 10 is attached to the rear end of the conveyor belt 6 .

[0045] As can be seen from the above, after the letter is stamped, it is driven by the conveyor belt 6 to move to the surface of the discharge plate 10.

[0046] Specifically, the transmission mechanism 12 includes two sleeves 1201, and the two sleeves 1201 are respectively installed on the inner walls on both sides of the fixed frame 1. The same connecting shaft 1202 is rotatably inserted on the circumferential inner walls of the two sleeves 1201. The circumferential outer walls of the connecting shaft 1202 are sleeved with sleeve wheels 1203 near both ends, and the conveyor belt 6 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sleeve wheel 1203.

[0047] As can be seen from the above, the driving mechanism 2 drives the connection shaft 1202 to rotate, and then drives the sleeve wheel 1203 and the conveyor belt 6 to rotate.

[0048] Specifically, a transmission wheel 14 is sleeved on the circumferential outer wall of a connecting shaft 1202 close to the mounting plate 3, and the driving mechanism 2 includes a stepper motor 201, which is fixed on the outer wall of one side of the mounting plate 3, and a transmission shaft 202 is fixed to one end of the output shaft of the stepper motor 201, and a shaft fixing seat 204 is sleeved on one end of the transmission shaft 202, and a driving wheel 203 is sleeved on the circumferential outer wall of the transmission shaft 202, and the same belt 205 is sleeved on the outer walls of the driving wheel 203 and the transmission wheel 14.

[0049] As can be seen from the above, starting the stepper motor 201 drives the transmission shaft 202 to rotate, which in turn drives the driving wheel 203 to rotate, and drives the transmission wheel 14 to rotate through the belt 205, which in turn drives the transmission mechanism 12 to rotate.

[0050] Specifically, the stamping robot arm 8 includes a stepper motor 801, which is fixed on the top outer wall of the mounting frame 7, a screw 802 is fixed to the bottom end of the output shaft of the stepper motor 801, a screw sleeve 807 is screwed on the outer wall of the screw 802, connecting rods 806 are fixed to the outer walls on both sides of the screw sleeve 807, a fixing seat 805 is installed at one end of the two connecting rods 806, the fixing seat 805 is located directly below the screw 802, an electric cylinder 803 is installed on the bottom outer wall of the fixing seat 805, an infrared ranging sensor 808 is installed on the outer wall of one side of the electric cylinder 803, a photosensitive seal 804 is installed at the bottom end of the extension rod of the electric cylinder 803, and the photosensitive seal 804 is located above the conveyor belt 6.

[0051] As can be seen from the above, after the infrared distance measuring sensor 808 measures the thickness of the letter, the force of the stamping is adjusted according to the thickness of the letter. If the letter is too thick, it is close to the photosensitive seal 804, so the stepper motor 801 is started to drive the screw 802 to rotate, so that the screw sleeve 807 moves up, thereby lengthening the distance between the photosensitive seal 804 and the letter, and then the electric cylinder 803 is started to drive the photosensitive seal 804 to move down, pressing the ink on the surface of the letter, thereby completing the letter stamping work. If the letter is thin, the photosensitive seal 804 is close to the letter, which is convenient for the stamping work.

[0052] Specifically, the distance between the light sensor 1 13 and the light sensor 2 18 and the letter is measured by the formula:

[0053] 2Y=C·T (2Y is the round trip distance, C is the speed of light, and T is the time it takes to receive the reflected light).

[0054] As can be seen from the above, the distance between the letter and itself is measured by the optical sensor 1 13 and the optical sensor 2 18, so as to measure the width of the letter according to known conditions, so that the stamping robot arm 8 can know the size of the letter and perform the stamping work conveniently.

[0055] Specifically, the formula for the infrared distance sensor 808 to measure the distance between the letter and the photosensitive seal 804 is:

[0056]

[0057] L is the measured distance, t2 is the signal receiving time of the infrared distance sensor 808, t1 is the signal transmitting time of the infrared distance sensor 808, T is the distance traveled in one second by the speed of light, and L1 is the distance between the infrared distance sensor 808 and the photosensitive seal 804.

[0058] As can be seen from the above, after the infrared distance measuring sensor 808 measures the thickness of the letter, the force of the canning is adjusted according to the thickness of the letter to facilitate the canning work.

[0059] When in use, the driving mechanism 2 is started to drive the transmission mechanism 12 to rotate. If a letter is suitable for passing through the baffle 5, the staff will push it to the conveyor belt 6 between the discharge plates 4 of the two baffles 5. The letter moves to the mounting frame 7 driven by the conveyor belt 6. After detecting the thickness of the letter, the stamping robot arm 8 adjusts its distance from the letter, and then stops adjusting after the light sensor 1 13 sends a signal. After the light sensor 2 18 sends a signal, the stamping robot arm 8 is started to perform the stamping work to press the ink on the surface of the letter.

[0060] The embodiments of the present invention are provided for the purpose of illustration and description. Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as limitations of the present invention. Ordinary technicians in this field can change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
