[0001] This invention relates to the field of digital printing technology, and more specifically, to a lifting book feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Digital printing is a printing method based on digital technology. It uses digital files directly transferred to printing equipment for printing, eliminating the need for intermediate steps such as plate making and printing plates found in traditional printing. However, the post-printing process for books cannot be automated, resulting in lower work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lifting book feeding mechanism to at least partially solve the problems existing in the related art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this disclosure provides a lifting book feeding mechanism, including a frame, a book-supporting sliding plate, book-supporting rods, and a drive assembly. The frame is used to connect with an iron plate. The frame has multiple book-supporting fixing shafts, which are spaced apart along the left-right direction of the frame. The book-supporting fixing shafts are used to support books. The frame has multiple sliding grooves, which are set at acute angles to the horizontal plane. The tail of each sliding groove is located below the book-supporting fixing shaft. There are multiple book-supporting rods, which are slidably connected to each of the multiple sliding grooves. The multiple book-supporting rods are spaced apart and installed on the book-supporting sliding plate. The drive assembly is used to drive the book-supporting sliding plate to slide.

[0005] Optionally, the acute angle is between 45 degrees and 75 degrees.

[0006] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a servo motor, a chain, a sprocket, a fixed base, and a slide rail. The fixed base is connected to the frame, the servo motor is fixed on the fixed base, the chain winds around the outer periphery of the drive shaft of the servo motor and the outer periphery of the sprocket, the slide rail is fixed on the iron plate and parallel to the slide groove, and the book-holding sliding plate is connected to the chain and slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0007] Optionally, the drive assembly further includes a rotating bracket, a tension sprocket, and a spring. One end of the rotating bracket is rotatably connected to the fixed base, and the other end is connected to one end of the spring. The other end of the spring is connected to the fixed base. The middle part of the rotating bracket is rotatably connected to the tension sprocket, and the outer periphery of the tension sprocket is engaged with the chain.

[0008] Optionally, the lifting book feeding mechanism further includes an overload adjustment component, which includes a cylinder, a lifting fixing plate, and two sliding components. The lifting fixing plate is connected to the connecting plate by a spring, the connecting plate is connected to the chain and slidably connected to the slide rail, the cylinder is fixed on the lifting fixing plate, the output shaft of the cylinder is connected to the book-supporting sliding plate, the two sliding components are located on the left and right sides of the cylinder, and the left and right ends of the book-supporting sliding plate are slidably connected to the two sliding components respectively.

[0009] Optionally, the frame includes a first frame and a second frame arranged opposite to each other, and the two ends of the book-holding fixing shaft are respectively connected to the first frame and the second frame.

[0010] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure may include the following beneficial effects:

[0011] The book is pushed onto multiple book-supporting fixed shafts on the frame. The drive assembly drives the book-supporting sliding plate to move, causing the book-supporting rod to move from the tail of the slide to the top of the slide, thus propelling the book upwards. Specifically, the servo motor starts, driving the chain to rotate, causing the lifting fixed plate connected to the chain to slide on the slide rail. This, in turn, causes the book-supporting sliding plate connected to the lifting fixed plate to drive the book-supporting rod to slide in the slide, ensuring that the book can make an oblique lifting motion, improving work efficiency.
