Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of book processing, and in particular to a book processing method and device. Background Art

[0002] The library has a huge amount of books, and the workload of identifying and managing the books in the process of storage, loaning and returning books is huge.

[0003] The number of books is relatively large. If only ISBN book numbers or book titles are used for identification and management, it is very easy to make mistakes. Therefore, in order to manage books more conveniently and efficiently, librarians generally print collection codes, RFID tags or stamps on the pages of each book.

[0004] In the process of book processing, it is necessary to turn the cover, back cover, title page or other pages of the book so as to stamp, label or scan the turned book. In order to solve the problems of high labor intensity and low work efficiency in manual page turning, there are corresponding processing systems in the prior art, such as the structure recorded in the patent with patent application number CN202210394960.5 and the name of a book continuous page turning processing system. The system recorded in the patent can realize automatic page turning of books through the cooperation of various mechanisms, so as to facilitate labeling, stamping, scanning, inner page folding and gluing of the turned book.

[0005] In the above patent, the book is placed on the book carrying platform, and each mechanism (page carrying platform, page turning mechanism, page pushing mechanism, page pressing mechanism) will move down a preset distance to accommodate books of different thicknesses so as to process books of different thicknesses. However, the cameras for collecting book information are fixedly installed relative to the book carrying platform. At this time, since the books placed on the book carrying platform have different thicknesses, the fixed cameras have a problem of blurred focus during the process of collecting book information, resulting in defects in the current page turning processing system for processing books of different thicknesses. In addition, the mechanical arm, blowing device, etc. in the page turning mechanism will often calculate the distance of each rise and fall due to the different heights of the books. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a book processing method and device, which solves the problem that the current book page turning processing system in the prior art still has defects for books of different thicknesses.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a book processing method, comprising:

[0008] Each book is transported through the book carrying mechanism according to a predetermined path. After any book enters a specific position of the book carrying mechanism, it is raised to a specific position by a component with a lifting function on the book carrying mechanism. The remaining books are continuously transported to the next specific position of the book carrying mechanism according to the predetermined route for lifting or entering the next processing step.

[0009] The front cover / back cover and inner pages of the lifted book are processed, and the processed book is moved to a predetermined path of the book carrying mechanism for continuous transmission.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This method changes the existing processing method of books with a fixed height to an adjustable horizontal height of books. After the books are lifted, they are used to adapt to various processing mechanisms. The relevant processing mechanisms do not need to move down to adapt to books of different thicknesses. Even if the installation height of each processing mechanism is relatively fixed, books of different thicknesses can be effectively processed. In addition, the function of raising the specific position of the component with a lifting function on the book carrying mechanism can be increased by n times by setting a corresponding number n (n is a positive integer) of book carrying mechanisms, similar to parallel connection, so that the book effective processing efficiency is increased by n times.

[0012] The present invention also provides a book processing device, comprising a book carrying mechanism, at least one processing unit, and at least one book page information collecting unit, the number of which is the same as that of the processing unit;

[0013] The processing unit is located above the book carrying mechanism and is used to mark the books;

[0014] The book page information collection unit is used to collect information on the book pages;

[0015] The book carrying mechanism includes a fixed transmission part and at least one lifting part, the number of which is the same as the processing unit, wherein the book page information collection unit is fixedly installed relative to the fixed transmission part, and each lifting part is used in conjunction with the corresponding processing unit and book page information collection unit;

[0016] The fixed transport part has a transport platform for transporting books, and each lifting part is arranged at intervals on the fixed transport part along the transport direction of the books, and any lifting part is arranged to be lifted and lowered along the fixed transport part;

[0017] The lifting part has a carrying platform for carrying a single book or for carrying and transporting a single book.

[0018] The lifting part rises, and the carrying platform of the lifting part is separated from the transmission platform of the fixed transmission part.

[0019] The upper surface of any book on which the lifting unit rises is located at a preset height, and the processing unit and the book page information collection unit process the book pages that have risen to the preset height;

[0020] The lifting part moves down to a height of the carrying platform which is less than or equal to the height of the transmission platform of the fixed transmission part, and cooperates with the fixed transmission part to transmit books.

[0021] Principle of the present invention:

[0022] The processing unit in the present application is equivalent to the book edge returning mechanism, book page carrying platform, page turning mechanism, page pushing mechanism and page pressing mechanism in the book continuous page turning processing system (CN202210394960.5) in the prior art, and is mainly capable of adjusting the horizontal position of the book so that the cover / back cover and inner pages of the book in the adjusted position can be turned smoothly, so as to perform processing operations on the target pages after turning.

[0023] The book page information collection unit collects the corresponding information on the book, including book cover information collection, book cover fold information collection, book inner page information collection, etc.

[0024] Before processing and collecting information on books, it is necessary to ensure that the books can smoothly enter the target height, so as to cooperate with the operation of the processing unit to move the books to the target position, which is convenient for the processing of books. In order to make books of different thicknesses rise to the target height, the present application improves the book carrying platform in the prior art, and adopts the synergistic effect of the fixed transmission part and the lifting part. When the fixed transmission part and the lifting part are used in combination, the entire book carrying mechanism is equivalent to the transmission mechanism, which can carry and transmit books. When the book enters the target position through a sensor (such as an infrared sensor), the lifting part rises, driving the book to rise, and the book has been measured for thickness before entering the book carrying mechanism (for example, a thickness meter measures the thickness of the book). Based on the thickness data of the book, the rising distance of the lifting part can be controlled to ensure that the upper surface of the book can reach the target height. After the book reaches the target height, the processing unit can adjust the position of the book, turn the pages, process the book, etc., and in the process of the processing unit processing the book, the page information collection unit can work together to complete the processing of the book. After the book processing is completed, the lifting part descends to the initial position. At this time, the lifting part and the fixed transmission part work together to be equivalent to the transmission mechanism, transporting the processed books to the subsequent processing steps to complete the book processing work.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. The present application improves the processing process of the existing processing system, changes the existing downward movement of each mechanism into a relatively fixed use height of each mechanism, and adds a lifting part. The lifting part can automatically adjust the rising height according to books of different thicknesses, so that the height of the upper surface of books of any thickness on the lifting part can be at the target height position, so that the processing unit and the book page information collection unit can process the books. Even if the scanned copies of the book page information collection unit are relatively fixed to the fixed transmission part, the problem of collection failure of the book page information collection unit due to changes in book thickness can be avoided, so that the processing device of the present application can process books of different thicknesses; at the same time, the positions of the mechanical arm, the blowing device, etc. in the page turning mechanism can also be relatively fixed, and there is no need to frequently perform complex calculations and lifting position adjustments, which greatly improves the efficiency of book collection and editing.

[0027] 2. After the lifting part and the fixed transmission part of the present application are separated, the fixed transmission part can still transmit subsequent books. After the subsequent books reach other lifting part positions in the transmission direction, the subsequent lifting part and the processing unit and book page information collection unit cooperating with the lifting part can be used to collaboratively process the books, so that the processing device of the present application can process multiple books simultaneously on one transmission path, further increasing the processing efficiency.

[0031] Furthermore, a book end limit mechanism is arranged above the lifting part, and when the book transported on the lifting part contacts the book end limit mechanism, the lifting part stops transmitting the book.

[0033] The book page carrying platform is located above the lifting part and is arranged obliquely or horizontally for placing the opened book pages;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0061] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0062] It should be noted that the marking processing of books mainly includes printing collection codes, anti-counterfeiting codes, RFID tags on books, stamping and gluing the cover folds of books, etc. The specific processing methods can refer to the contents recorded in the patent with patent application number CN202210395004.9. This application is mainly to ensure that books of different thicknesses can rise to the target height (preset height) to facilitate the processing of books that reach the target height. At the same time, it is worth noting that the actions of each mechanism in this application and the coordinated actions of multiple mechanisms are all realized through controllers and programming software. This application describes the action principles of each mechanism / component.

[0063] like Figure 1-10As shown, the present application discloses a book processing device, including a book carrying mechanism 100, at least one processing unit and at least one book page information collection unit of the same number as the processing unit; the processing unit is located above the book carrying mechanism 100 and is used to mark the book; the book page information collection unit is used to collect information on the book page; the processing unit is located above the book carrying mechanism 100 and is used to mark the book; the book page information collection unit is used to collect information on the book page; the book carrying mechanism 100 includes a fixed transmission part 120 and at least one lifting part 110 of the same number as the processing unit, wherein the book page information collection unit and the fixed transmission part 120 are fixedly installed relative to each other, and each lifting part 110 is used in conjunction with the corresponding processing unit and book page information collection unit; The fixed transmission part 120 has a transmission platform for transmitting books, and the lifting parts 110 are arranged at intervals on the fixed transmission part 120 along the transmission direction of the books, and any lifting part 110 is set to rise and fall along the fixed transmission part 120; the lifting part 110 has a bearing platform for carrying a single book or for carrying and transmitting a single book, and the lifting part 110 rises, and the bearing platform of the lifting part 110 is separated from the transmission platform of the fixed transmission part 120, and the upper surface of any book on which the lifting part 110 rises is located at a preset height, and the processing unit and the book page information collection unit process the pages of the book that rises to the preset height; the lifting part 110 moves down to a height where the bearing platform height is less than or equal to the transmission platform height of the fixed transmission part 120, and cooperates with the fixed transmission part 120 to transmit books.

[0064] It can be understood that the processing unit is mainly used to mark the books. During the marking process, the cooperation of the page information collection unit is required. Therefore, during the processing of a single book, a processing unit and a page information collection unit are required. The lifting unit 110 is used to move a single book to the target height, which is equivalent to that during the processing of a single book, a lifting unit 110, a processing unit and a page information collection unit are required. Therefore, when several lifting units 110 are set along the transmission direction of the fixed transmission unit 120, it is necessary to match the corresponding number of processing units and page information collection units. The fixed transmission unit 120 is equivalent to a transmission mechanism, which has a specific transmission direction for each book. Therefore, when multiple lifting units 110 are connected to the fixed transmission unit 120, each lifting unit 110 needs to be arranged at intervals along the transmission direction of the fixed transmission unit 120 so as to lift each book transmitted on the fixed transmission unit 120.

[0065] The coordination between each lifting part 110 and the fixed transmission part 120 , as well as the coordination between each lifting part 110 and the processing unit and the book page information collection unit are the same. Therefore, in this application, a lifting part 110 connected to a fixed transmission part 120 is taken as an example to demonstrate the principle of this application.

[0066] The thickness of each book has been measured in sequence before entering the book carrying mechanism 100. The book thickness test instrument can be a non-contact thickness meter, such as an X-ray thickness gauge, a laser thickness gauge, etc.; or it can also be a side image acquisition and calculate the height of the book, or other existing devices or methods that can obtain the height of the book. The thickness data of each book is transmitted to the controller of the entire system for processing. According to the transmission order of each book, after ensuring that each book is transmitted to the position of the lifting part 110, the controller controls the lifting part 110 to rise a distance a plus the thickness b of each book to be a fixed value X, that is, the upper surface of any book described in this application can rise to the same target height (preset height) under the action of the lifting part 110.

[0067] like Fig.11 As shown, it is assumed that, according to the transmission order of each book, the book located at the first transmission position ( Fig.11 The thickness of the book in the left diagram is b. When the book moves to the position of the lifting unit 110, the lifting unit 110 needs to rise a distance. When the book at the second transfer position ( Fig.11 When the thickness of the book (the structure shown in the diagram on the right) is b-2 cm, when the book is moved to the position of the lifting part 110, the lifting part 110 needs to rise a+2 cm.

[0068] When there is only one lifting unit 110, the controller measures the thickness of each book in turn, and then controls the lifting unit 110 to automatically adjust the lifting distance to adapt to books of different thicknesses. If there are two lifting units 110, the lifting unit 110 located at the first position of the fixed transmission unit 120 is adjusted to match the thickness of each book in the odd-numbered position in the book transmission direction; the lifting unit 110 located at the last position of the fixed transmission unit 120 is adjusted to match the thickness of each book in the even-numbered position in the book transmission direction. Similarly, according to the number of lifting units 110 set, the algorithm is adjusted to ensure that the rising distance a of the lifting unit 110 plus the thickness b of each book is a constant value X.

[0069] The lifting unit 110 is mainly provided to ensure that the books to be processed can reach the target height so as to be processed by the processing unit and the book page information collection unit.

[0070] The principle of the book carrying mechanism 100 of the present application is as follows:

[0071] Each book whose thickness data is collected is conveyed to the fixed conveying part 120 through a conveying device (a roller conveyor line, a belt conveyor line or a strip conveyor, etc.). At this time, the lifting part 110 is located at the initial position, that is, the height of the carrying platform of the lifting part 110 is less than or equal to the height of the transmission platform of the fixed conveying part 120. Then, the books conveyed to the fixed conveying part 120 will be continuously conveyed along the preset route under the action of the fixed conveying part 120. When the photoelectric sensor arranged on the lifting part 110 or the fixed conveying part 120 detects that the book has completely entered the lifting part 110, the lifting part 110 will be moved to the fixed conveying part 120. The lifting unit 110 will rise a preset distance according to the thickness of the book so that the upper surface height of the book reaches the target height; at this time, if the position of the book on the lifting unit 110 has reached the action position of each mechanism of the processing unit, the lifting unit 110 can only carry the book as a placing platform for the book to facilitate the processing of the book; if the position of the book on the lifting unit 110 has not reached the action position of each mechanism of the processing unit, the lifting unit 110 needs to have a transmission function before carrying the book, so as to ensure that the book on the lifting unit 110 can be transferred to the action position of each mechanism of the processing unit.

[0072] After the books are processed by the processing unit, the lifting unit 110 drives the processed books to move down to the initial position, and the processed books can continue to be transported under the action of the fixed transport unit 120 to enter the next processing step.

[0073] The present application improves the processing process of the existing processing system, changes the existing downward movement of each mechanism into a relatively fixed use height of each mechanism, and adds a lifting unit 110. The lifting unit 110 can automatically adjust the rising height according to books of different thicknesses, so that the height of the upper surface of books of any thickness on the lifting unit 110 can be at the target height position, so that the processing unit and the book page information collection unit can process the book. Even if each scanned copy of the book page information collection unit is relatively fixed to the fixed transmission unit 120, the problem of collection failure of the book page information collection unit due to changes in book thickness can be avoided, so that the processing device of the present application can process books of different thicknesses.

[0074] Furthermore, after the carrying platform of the lifting part 110 of the present application is separated from the transmission platform of the fixed transmission part 120, the fixed transmission part 120 can still transmit subsequent books. After the subsequent books arrive at other lifting part 110 positions in the transmission direction, the subsequent lifting part 110 and the processing unit and book page information collection unit cooperating with the lifting part 110 can be used to collaboratively process the books, so that the processing device of the present application can process multiple books simultaneously on one transmission path, thereby increasing processing efficiency.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the lifting part 110 includes a plurality of first rollers 111 arranged horizontally side by side and a lifting frame 112 for mounting the plurality of first rollers 111. The lifting frame 112 moves up and down to drive each first roller 111 to move up and down. At least some of the first rollers 111 are rotatably arranged on the lifting frame 112 for carrying and transporting books.

[0076] The lifting part 110 as a whole needs to carry books, or be able to transport books in the process of carrying books. In this application, considering the precise positioning of books on the lifting part 110, the lifting part 110 is set to be able to carry books and transport books at the same time. To achieve this purpose, under normal circumstances, the lifting part 110 can be an existing transmission mechanism such as a roller conveyor line, a belt conveyor line or a strip conveyor. However, it is also necessary to consider the coordination relationship between the lifting part 110 and the fixed transmission part 120 when it is in the initial position. For this reason, the lifting part 110 in this application adopts a structure similar to that of a roller conveyor line.

[0077] Specifically, Figure 8 , 9 As shown in FIG. 10 , in this embodiment, the lifting unit 110 includes a plurality of first rollers 111 that are spaced apart. The arrangement direction of the plurality of first rollers 111 is the same as the transmission direction of the books on the fixed transmission unit 120. The plurality of first rollers 111 constitute the bearing platform of the lifting unit 110. Both ends of each first roller 111 are respectively fixed on the lifting frame 112. At least part of each first roller 111 can roll autonomously. Fig. 9 , 10 As shown, the lifting frame 112 includes the same number of brackets 1120 as the number of first rollers 111 and a mounting base 1122 arranged below the brackets 1120. The brackets 1120 are composed of two oppositely arranged vertical rods 1121. The two ends of each first roller 111 are respectively rotatably connected to the corresponding two vertical rods 1121 through bearings. Each bracket 1120 passes through the fixed transmission part 120 and slides up and down on the fixed transmission part 120. The mounting base 1122 is located below the transmission platform of the fixed transmission part 120. The mounting base 1122 is connected to the lifting device 130. The lifting device 130 drives the mounting base 1122, each bracket 1120 and each first roller 111 to move up and down.

[0078] The lifting device 130 can be driven by a servo cylinder, a trapezoidal screw transmission mechanism, a linear slide drive, etc. in the prior art, and can realize the up and down movement of the lifting part 110 bearing platform. Figure 8 , 9As shown in Figures 10, the lifting device 130 includes a lifting servo motor 132, a lifting screw 131, and a lifting seat threadedly connected to the lifting screw 131, wherein the lifting servo motor 132 is fixed to the bottom plate 18, the lifting servo motor 132 is connected to the lower end of the lifting screw 131, the lifting screw 131 is vertically arranged, and the lifting seat is fixed to the bottom of the mounting base 1122. After the lifting servo motor 132 is started, it drives the lifting screw 131 to rotate, thereby driving the lifting seat, the mounting base 1122, each bracket 1120 and each first roller 111 to move up and down to meet the practical needs of the entire lifting part 110. During use, a plurality of slide bars 133 can be set between the bottom plate 18 and the lifting seat, and the slide bars 133 are used to limit the up and down movement direction of the lifting seat to ensure that the lifting seat is lifted and lowered in a preset direction.

[0079] In order to realize the autonomous rotation of at least part of the first roller 111, the present application further connects a rotating assembly to the mounting base 1122. Figure 8 , 9 As shown in FIG. 10 , the rotating assembly includes a driving member and a plurality of rotating members, and the number of the rotating members is the same as the number of the first rollers 111 that need to rotate autonomously. Figure 8 , 9 As shown in Figure 10, in this embodiment, the multiple first rollers 111 near the end of the book transmission can all roll autonomously, and each rotating member includes a first pulley, a second pulley, and a first transmission belt 113 sleeved on the first pulley and the second pulley. The first pulley is coaxially arranged with the corresponding first roller 111, and the second pulley is connected to the driving member. The driving member includes a driving servo motor 114, a driving pulley, and multiple linkage components of the same number as the rotating members. Each linkage component includes a rotating shaft, at least one rotating pulley 115 arranged on the rotating shaft, and each rotating shaft must roll in the same direction. For this purpose, multiple rotating pulleys 115 are arranged on some rotating shafts, and the two rotating pulleys 115 located on two adjacent rotating shafts are connected by a rotating transmission belt, and a rotating pulley 115 on any rotating shaft is connected to the driving pulley by a belt. When the driving servo motor 114 is started, the multiple rotating shafts can be driven to rotate in the same direction, thereby driving each first roller 111 to rotate in a preset direction to transmit the books on each first roller 111.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, the fixed transmission unit 120 includes a plurality of second rollers 121 arranged horizontally side by side and a mounting frame 122 for mounting the plurality of second rollers 121, the projection of each first roller 111 and the projection of each second roller 121 are arranged alternately in sequence, and each second roller 121 is rotatably arranged on the mounting frame 122 for transmitting books.

[0081] The main function of the fixed transmission unit 120 is to transport the books and facilitate the up and down movement of the lifting unit 110. It is also necessary to ensure that the height of the carrying platform of the lifting unit 110 is lower than or equal to the transmission platform of the fixed transmission unit 120. Figure 8 , 9 As shown in Figures 10 and 10, in this embodiment, the overall structure of the fixed transmission unit 120 adopts a structure similar to that of a roller conveyor line. Specifically, the fixed transmission unit 120 includes a plurality of second rollers 121 arranged at intervals. The arrangement direction of each second roller 121 is the same as that of each first roller 111. Each bracket 1120 is located between two adjacent second rollers 121, so that the projection of each first roller 111 and the projection of each second roller 121 are arranged alternately in sequence. The second rollers 121 arranged at intervals provide space for each first roller 111 to move up and down, so that the height of the bearing platform composed of each first roller 111 is lower than or equal to the height of the transmission platform composed of each second roller 121.

[0082] The mounting frame 122 of the fixed transmission unit 120 is used to rotatably mount each second roller 121. The structure of the mounting frame 122 and the driving method of each second roller 121 are not described in detail in this application. The overall structure of the fixed transmission unit 120 is equivalent to the driving method of the roller conveyor line in the prior art. This application only limits the installation method of the lifting unit 110 and each second roller 121 of the fixed transmission unit 120. Combined with the diagram, it can be seen that the bearing platform of the lifting unit 110 can be raised and lowered according to the use requirements. After the lifting unit 110 rises, the installation position of the fixed transmission unit 120 remains unchanged, and the rotation of each second roller 121 is not restricted, and other books can continue to be transported, so that the book bearing mechanism 100 of this application is deformed to form a double-layer transmission mechanism, thereby improving the transmission efficiency and processing efficiency of books.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, at least one book end position limiting mechanism 15 is included, the number of which is the same as that of the lifting unit 110 , and the book end position limiting mechanism 15 is used to limit the end position of the lifting unit 110 in the book transmission direction.

[0084] It can be understood that after the book enters the lifting part 110 and before the lifting part 110 rises, the position of the book on the lifting part 110 can be detected by the photoelectric sensor. In order to facilitate the processing unit to operate the book after the lifting part 110 rises to the corresponding height, it is also necessary to ensure whether the book at this height enters the action range of the processing unit. For this purpose, the present application also provides a book end limit mechanism 15 to ensure that the end of the book at a preset height is also located at the corresponding position so that the processing unit can operate smoothly.

[0085] There are two ways to limit the position of the end of the book on the lifting part 110. First, the book end limit mechanism 15 is a sensor set on the fixed transmission part 120 or the lifting part 110. The sensor is used to sense whether the end of the book is in place. After the book is in place, the lifting part 110 simply carries the book, and the lifting part 110 rises to make the book rise, and the book does not move along the transmission direction. After the book rises to the target height, the book automatically enters the operating position of the processing unit.

[0086] Secondly, the book end limit mechanism 15 is a sensor fixed at the target height, and the fixed transmission part 120 transmits the book. After the sensor detects that the book is located at the corresponding position of the lifting part 110, the lifting part 110 rises and drives the book to the target height. At this time, the lifting part 110 can carry the book while also transmitting the book, until the book is transmitted to the position of the book end limit mechanism 15 at the target height, indicating that the end position of the book is in place, and the processing unit can operate the book.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, the book end limit mechanism 15 is disposed above the lifting part 110 , and when the book transported on the lifting part 110 contacts the book end limit mechanism 15 , the lifting part 110 stops transporting the book.

[0088] The book end limit mechanism 15 can use a photoelectric sensor or a contact sensor. Since the book end limit mechanism 15 needs to limit the end position of the book, it is better to use a contact sensor. For this reason, the book end limit mechanism 15 needs to be set in the transmission direction of the book. If the book end limit mechanism 15 is connected to the lifting part 110 or the fixed transmission part 120, the transmission of the entire book will be affected. For this reason, the present application sets the book end limit mechanism 15 above the lifting part 110, close to the target height position.

[0089] Specifically, Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the book end limit mechanism 15 is a contact sensor, which is fixed on the top assembly frame. The contact sensor is arranged in front of the book in the transmission direction, and the contact part of the contact sensor is a limit rod 151 arranged upward and tilted toward the book. When in use, when the book contacts the limit rod 151 under the transmission action of the first rollers 111 of the lifting part 110, the book end limit mechanism 15 detects that the book end is in place. At this time, the first rollers 111 of the lifting part 110 stop rotating, and the various mechanisms of the processing unit can be operated.

[0090] During the ascending process of the lifting part 110, in order to avoid ascending failure, a position sensor can be arranged above the lifting part 110, and the position sensor is fixed to the front end assembly frame 13. The sensing range of the position sensor is set according to the up and down moving range of the lifting part 110, so as to detect whether the lifting part 110 has completed the ascending action when in use, and then sense the end position of the book through the book end limit mechanism 15, so as to determine that the book is in the action range of the processing unit, so as to facilitate the action of the processing unit.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, each processing unit includes a book edge returning mechanism 16, a hinge mechanism, a book page carrying platform 200, a page turning mechanism 300, a page pushing mechanism 400, a page pressing mechanism 700, and a blower mechanism. The structures of the above-mentioned mechanisms can be set with reference to the mechanisms in the book continuous page turning processing system (CN202210394960.5) in the prior art. This application describes the improved structure, and the same structure as that in the prior art is not repeated in this application.

[0092] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, 5 and 6, the book page carrying platform 200 is located above the lifting part 110 and is arranged tilted or horizontally for placing opened book pages; the book page carrying platform 200 is a fixed plate-like structure, and the angle between the book page carrying platform 200 and the horizontal plane is 90°-180°, preferably 150°. A vertically arranged pressure plate is provided below the inclined bottom of the book page carrying platform 200, and the pressure plate is located on one side of the transmission direction of the lifting part 110, and is arranged in contact with the vertical rods 1121 on this side of the lifting part 110, or is arranged with a gap between the vertical rods 1121 on this side of the lifting part 110, and the pressure plate can limit the movement of the book along the direction perpendicular to its transmission direction, so as to facilitate the operation of the book by the book edging mechanism 16 on the book.

[0093] The book edge returning mechanism 16 and the book page carrying platform 200 are respectively located on both sides of the transmission direction of the lifting part 110. The book edge returning mechanism 16 is used to correct the position of the book and push the spine of the book to the side of the book page carrying platform 200. The book edge returning mechanism 16 can be located above the highest position of the lifting part 110. On the one hand, it is used to correct the book. The correction requirement is generally that the surface where the spine is located is parallel to the transmission direction of the book. The book edge returning mechanism 16 can adopt a single-sided shaping plate as described in patent CN202022190172.3 and a single-sided shaping power mechanism for driving the single-sided shaping plate to move perpendicular to the conveying direction. The book edge returning mechanism 16 can also adopt a structure as described in patent CN202210394960.5. The purpose is to push the book edge of the book after the book rises to the target height and the end of the book also reaches the target position, to ensure that the spine of the book can contact or set a gap with the book page carrying platform 200 (pressing plate) to reach the preset position.

[0094] like Figure 6 , 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the book edge returning mechanism 16 includes a moving rod 162, a plurality of moving claws 163 arranged on the moving rod 162, and a moving assembly 161 for driving the moving rod 162, wherein the moving rod 162 is arranged along the transmission direction of the book, and each moving claw 163 is arranged at intervals along the length direction of the moving rod 162, and the moving claw 163 is arranged vertically, and the projection of each moving claw 163 is located between the gaps of two adjacent first rollers 111; the moving assembly 161 can adopt an electric push rod, a gas push rod, a hydraulic push rod, a screw transmission mechanism, etc., which can realize linear motion, and is used to drive the moving rod 162 to reciprocate along the vertical book transmission direction. In this embodiment, the moving assembly 161 adopts a screw transmission mechanism. When in use, after the height of the book and the position of the end of the book are in place, the book edge returning mechanism 16 is activated to move the spine of the book to the corresponding position.

[0095] After the book spine is in place, the page turning mechanism 300 can theoretically be used to turn the book pages. To prevent the book pages from sticking together during the turning process, the present application also provides an air blowing mechanism, which is used to prevent the book pages from sticking together. The air blowing device of the present application can adopt the structure of the air blowing device and the anti-sticking mechanism in patent number CN202210394960.5.

[0096] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, in this embodiment, the blower mechanism includes a side blowing component and an end blowing component 14. The installation position of the end air outlet component is adjacent to the installation position of the book end limiting mechanism 15, both of which are perpendicular to the book transmission direction. The end air outlet component includes a main channel 142, and the main channel 142 is fixed to the top assembly frame. The main channel 142 is connected to a blower 141. A plurality of end air outlet channels 1421 facing the end of the book are opened on the main channel 142. The plurality of end air outlet channels 1421 are evenly distributed along the direction perpendicular to the book transmission direction. When the book end limiting mechanism 15 detects the position of the end of the book, the controller can control the blower 141 to work while controlling each first roller 111 to stop rotating, so as to blow air to the end of the book.

[0097] In order to prevent the pages of the book from sticking together at the book edge, the present application is also provided with a side blowing assembly, which is installed in cooperation with the book edge returning mechanism 16, and a side mounting frame 10 is provided on the transmission side of the lifting part 110, and a linear drive device 12 is fixed on the side mounting frame 10, such as an electric push rod, a gas push rod, a hydraulic push rod, a screw transmission mechanism, a synchronous linear module, etc. In this embodiment, the linear drive device 12 is a synchronous linear module, and the sliding seat 1201 of the synchronous linear module adopts a split structure. The sliding seat 1201 is slidably arranged on the side mounting frame 10 as a whole, and the sliding seat 1201 includes a first connecting seat 1212 and a second connecting seat 1211. The first connecting seat 1212 is slidably connected to the second sliding seat and is provided with at least one buffer spring, wherein the first connecting seat 1212 is fixedly connected to the moving assembly 161 of the book edge returning mechanism 16; and at the same time, the side blowing assembly is connected to the first connecting seat 1212.

[0098] like Figure 6 , 7 As shown, the side blowing assembly includes a plurality of side air outlet channels 171, and each side air outlet channel 171 is evenly distributed along the book transmission direction, each side air outlet channel 171 is fixed to the first connecting seat 1212, and each side air outlet channel 171 is connected to an air pipe, and after each side air outlet channel 171 moves to a corresponding position with the first connecting seat 1212, the air pipe is ventilated, and the side air outlet channel 171 blows air to the book mouth.

[0099] The structure of the sliding seat 1201 can achieve the purpose of buffering. When in use, the first connecting seat 1212 and the second connecting seat 1211 move toward the book. At the same time, the moving rod 162 extends a specific length under the action of the moving component 161 (the moving claw 163 exceeds the air outlet side wall of the side air outlet channel 171). The moving claw 163 preferentially contacts the book mouth position of the book to adjust the position of the book. At this time, even if the book has different widths, since the first connecting seat 1212 and the second connecting seat 1211 are elastically slidably connected, the moving claw 163 is also in elastic contact with the book, which can achieve a buffering effect and avoid damage to the book. At the same time, a buffer contact layer can be set on the moving claw 163 to further avoid damage to the book by the side air outlet channel 171. When the spine of the book is in place, since the movable claw 163 extends out of the side air outlet channel 171, there is a gap between the book and the side air outlet channel 171. At this time, the air pipe is connected, and the side air outlet channel 171 blows air to the book, thereby achieving the purpose of blowing air to the side of the book and preventing the pages of the book from sticking.

[0100] After the blower mechanism pre-processes the book, the page turning mechanism 300 can perform the page turning operation. The page turning mechanism 300 is located above the lifting part 110 and is used to grab and turn the pages of the book. In fact, the action component of the page turning mechanism 300 is located above the book of the lifting part 110. The page turning mechanism 300 can be the suction cup in patent CN202121196076.8 and the vertical driving mechanism that drives the suction cup to move up and down. The main purpose is to grab the pages of the book through the suction cup. After the pages are grabbed, the vertical driving mechanism is actuated, and then cooperates with other mechanisms to realize the operation of turning the pages of the book. In this application, the page turning mechanism 300 adopts the same structure as in patent CN202210394960.5, mainly including a page turning suction cup assembly 310 and a multi-axis mechanical arm for driving the action of the page turning suction cup assembly 310. The bottom of the multi-axis mechanical arm is fixed on the side where the book page bearing platform 200 is located, and the page turning suction cup assembly 310 is set at the end of the multi-axis mechanical arm. The operating principles of the multi-axis robotic arm and the page-turning suction cup are not described in detail in this application. It is only necessary to clarify that the two work together to suck a corner of a page and then turn the corner of the page to a certain angle.

[0101] During the use of the page turning mechanism 300, the page pushing mechanism 400 is required to cooperate. According to the positional relationship, the page pushing mechanism 400 is installed close to the book edge returning mechanism 16, that is, it is set opposite to the book page carrying platform 200, and the page pushing mechanism 400 can be used to push the book page onto the book page carrying platform 200. The page pushing mechanism 400 is used in conjunction with the page turning mechanism 300. After the page turning mechanism 300 turns the book page to a certain angle, the page pushing mechanism 400 is actuated to push the turned book page onto the book page carrying platform 200. The page pushing mechanism 400 can adopt the page pushing mechanism 400, such as the first page turning rod in the patent CN202121196076.8, which is driven by the linear motion unit and extends under the book page. After the suction cup is depressurized, it is separated from the top book page. The first page turning rod pushes the turned top book page toward the book page carrying platform 2004 to completely open the book page and make the book page fall on the book page carrying platform 200. The page pushing mechanism 400 can also adopt the structure in patent CN202210394960.5, which mainly includes a page pushing rod 410 and a page pushing driving device. The page pushing driving device drives the page pushing rod 410 to move so that the page pushing rod 410 enters under the opened book page. At this time, the page turning suction cup assembly 310 releases the suction force, and the page pushing rod 410 moves to move the book page to the book page carrying platform 200.

[0102] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in this embodiment, the page pushing mechanism 400 also includes a page pushing rod 410 and a page pushing driving device, wherein the page pushing driving device is a linear driving device 12, such as an electric push rod, a gas push rod, a hydraulic push rod, a screw transmission mechanism, a synchronous linear module, etc. The page pushing driving device drives the page pushing rod 410 to reciprocate linearly along the inclined direction toward the book page. The page pushing mechanism 400 of this embodiment can be more adaptable to pages of different widths, because when the page turning mechanism 300 fixes the angle at which the book page is turned in the horizontal direction, no matter how the width of the book page changes, the page pushing rod 410 can extend under the turned book page during the downward movement of the tilt, and push the book page to move toward the book page carrying platform 200.

[0103] After the page pushing mechanism 400 has mortgaged the book page on the book page carrying platform 200, it needs to be fixed on the book page carrying platform 200 by the page pressing mechanism 700, so as to facilitate the page turning mechanism 300 to turn the subsequent book pages, and / or to facilitate the book page information collection unit to collect information on the book page, and / or to facilitate other processing to process the book page. The page pressing mechanism 700 in this application adopts a structure similar to that in patent CN202210394960.5, and both include a first page pressing member 710 and two second page pressing members 720. The structure and driving mechanism of the first page pressing member 710 / the second page pressing member 720 are the same as those in the patent, and the principle thereof will not be repeated in this application.

[0104] After the marking process of the book pages is completed, the cover flipped on the book page carrying platform 200 needs to be closed. At this time, a hinge mechanism is needed to move the book pages on the book page carrying platform 200 toward the book pages on the lifting part 110. The hinge mechanism of the present application adopts the same structure as that in patent CN202210394960.5, and uses the operation of telescopic drive plus connecting rod to enable the hinge lever 11 to extend or retract on the book page carrying platform 200, which can facilitate the placement of the book pages on the book page carrying platform 200 and the closing of the processed cover with other parts of the book to complete the processing operation of the book. The specific structure and principle refer to the contents recorded in the patent, and this application will not repeat them.

[0105] It also includes a folding identification and processing mechanism 900, which is mainly used to flip the fold of the cover, so that the processing mechanism 800 can apply glue to the inside of the fold so as to perform gluing and fixing operations on the inside of the fold. The folding identification and processing mechanism 900 of the present application adopts the structure in patent CN202210394960.5, and uses the coordinated cooperation of components such as the folding suction cup assembly 910 and the folding drive device to realize the flipping operation of the fold. The specific structure and principle refer to the contents recorded in the patent, and this application will not repeat them.

[0106] After turning the pages of a book, the book can also be processed, and the processing includes operations such as labeling, stamping, gluing, etc. This process requires the use of a processing mechanism 800. The processing mechanism 800 adopts the structure in Patent CN202210394960.5, mainly including a processing head and a multi-axis robotic arm. The processing head can grasp seals, glue sticks, etc., and the multi-axis robotic arm drives the processing head to act to achieve the processing operation of the book pages.

[0107] During the processing of the book pages, feedback verification can also be carried out through the book page information collection unit, or the book page information collection unit can be used alone to collect the information of each book page. The specific principle is the same as that of the book page information collection unit in Patent CN202210394960.5. Among them, when the book page information collection unit collects the information of the target book page, a scanning device needs to be used, and a common scanning device is a high-definition camera. In the prior art (CN202210394960.5), there are mainly two scanning devices in the process of collecting book page information. One is fixed directly above the book processing station for scanning the information on the book cover and the upper side information of the inner pages, and the other scanning device is close to the position of the book edge alignment mechanism 16, mainly for scanning the information on the other side (lower side) of the turned book pages in an inclined direction. However, some book covers have fold-out pages, and some book information is also recorded on the fold-out pages. This part of the information page also needs to be scanned and obtained for judgment or recording of the book information. However, in the prior art, the information recorded on the fold-out pages cannot be scanned and obtained. For this reason, the scanning device of the book page information collection unit of this application includes a first scanning member 620, a second scanning member 630, and a third scanning member 610. The first scanning member 620 is fixedly installed opposite to the fixed transmission part 120 directly above the lifting part 110. The first scanning member 620 is used to collect the information on the horizontally arranged book pages of the book, and the first scanning member 620 is fixed at the first installation position 510 of the mounting plate 500 in the figure. The second scanning member 630 and the book page carrying platform 200 are respectively located on both sides of the lifting part 110 and are fixedly installed opposite to the fixed transmission part 120. The second scanning member 630 is used to collect the information on the vertically arranged book pages of the book, and the second scanning member 630 is fixed at the second installation position 1001 on the side mounting frame 10 in the figure; the third scanning member 610 is vertically arranged with the book page carrying platform 200 and is fixedly installed opposite to the fixed transmission part 120. The third scanning member 610 is used to collect the information on the opened book pages, and the third scanning member 610 is fixed on the mounting plate 500 in the figure. The three scanning devices of the book page information collection unit can scan the information at various positions of the book pages, avoiding the problem of missing information recording.

[0108] Combined with the processing device of the present invention, the present invention also provides a method for processing books, as Figure 12-15 shown, the processing process of the book is roughly as follows:

[0109] 1. The lifting part 110 is in the initial position. The lifting part 110 and the fixed transmission part 120 form a transmission mechanism to transmit each book. When the book moves to the position of the lifting part 110, as shown in Fig.12 (1) below, the lifting part 110 rises to move the book to the target height. Fig.12 In the state shown in (2) below, the end position of the book is limited in place by the book end limiting mechanism.

[0110] 2. The book edge-aligning mechanism 16 performs the Fig.12 action in (3) below to organize the position of the book and ensure that the spine of the book cooperates with the pressing plate of the book page bearing platform 200 to form the Fig.12 state in (4) below. At this time, the blowing mechanism can work to blow the book, and the book edge-aligning mechanism 16 can maintain the state shown in the figure or reset.

[0111] 3. Fig.12 In the state of (4) below, the first scanner 620 of the book page information acquisition unit acquires the cover information of the book.

[0112] 4. After the information acquisition is completed, the page-turning suction cup assembly 310 of the page-turning mechanism 300 acts to grab the book cover and turn it over, such as the Fig.12 actions in (5) and (6) below.

[0113] 5. After the page-turning mechanism 300 acts in place, the pusher rod 410 of the pusher mechanism 400 enters the Fig.13 action in (7) below to press the book pages tightly on the book page bearing platform 200, that is, the state in (8) of 13 below.

[0114] 6. Fig.13 In the action of (8) below, the first page-pressing member 710 and the two first page-pressing members 710 of the page-pressing mechanism 700 act to fix the book pages on the book page bearing platform 200. At the same time, the pusher rod 410 resets.

[0115] 7. Fig.13 In the state of (9) below, the third scanner 610 of the book page information acquisition unit acquires the folding information of the book cover.

[0116] 8. Fig.13 In the state of (10) below, the first scanner 620 of the book page information acquisition unit acquires the book page information of the inner pages of the book. At this time, it can be calculated through an algorithm whether this book page is the target book page. In this state, the processing mechanism 800 can be used to process this book page.

[0117] 9. Continuously turn the inner pages of the book. The specific actions refer to Fig.13 、 14In (11)-(13), at this time, the page turning mechanism 300 can turn the book page by a larger angle so that the second scanner 630 of the page information acquisition unit can collect the page information of the inner pages of the book, and it can be calculated whether the page is the target page through an algorithm.

[0118] 10. As shown in Fig.14 (14), the pusher rod 410 moves to move the book page to the state shown in Fig.14 (15).

[0119] 11. As shown in Fig.14 (16), the first page pressing member 710 moves, and the two second page pressing members 720 do not move, which is used to fix the second page on the page bearing platform 200. At the same time, the pusher rod 410 resets.

[0120] 12. Fig.14 In the state of (17), the processing mechanism 800 can be used to perform operations such as stamping on the second page and / or the third page.

[0121] 13. After the page processing is completed, as shown in Fig.14 (17) and (18), the first page pressing member 710 resets, and one of the second page pressing members 720 moves to reset the second page in the process shown in Fig.15 (19) and (20).

[0122] 14. The folding suction cup assembly 910 of the folding recognition processing mechanism 900 moves to lift the folding on the cover as in the process shown in Fig.15 (20) and (21). At this time, the processing mechanism 800 can apply glue to the inner side of the folding. After the glue application is completed, the folding suction cup assembly 910 moves to reset the folding on the cover in the process from Fig.15 (21) to (22).

[0123] 13. As shown in Fig.15 (23) and (24), the remaining second page pressing member 720 resets. At the same time, the hinge lever 11 moves to turn the cover back to its original position, completing the processing of the entire book.

[0124] 14. As shown in Fig.15 (25), the processed book descends to the fixed transmission part 120 along with the lifting part 110 and is transmitted to the next processing step.
