[0016] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The book stacking mechanism comprises a stacking frame 1, a first baffle plate 2, a second baffle plate 3 and a front and rear pusher device 4. A bearing platform 11 is provided at the bottom of the stacking frame 1. The first baffle plate 2 and the second baffle plate 3 are both provided on the stacking frame 1 and are located above the bearing platform 11. The first baffle plate 2 and the second baffle plate 3 are arranged opposite to each other, and a receiving cavity 5 is formed between the first baffle plate 2 and the second baffle plate 3. The front and rear pusher device 4 is provided on the stacking frame 1 and is located on one side of the receiving cavity 5.

[0018] When in use, the book stacking mechanism of the utility model is connected to the output end of the book gluing line mechanism, so that after the book completes the last gluing line process, it can directly enter the book stacking mechanism for stacking, and then be packaged by the subsequent packaging equipment. The book of the previous process falls into the accommodating cavity 5, and the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 limit the two sides of the book so that the two sides of the book remain flat; when the books are stacked to a corresponding number, the front and rear pushing devices 4 push the books out of the accommodating cavity.

[0019] In actual use, a sensor is installed at the entrance end of the accommodating chamber 5, and the sensor is connected to an external processor. The sensor can accurately detect the number of books conveyed. Therefore, when a stack of books is conveyed, the external controller controls the front and rear pushing devices 4 to push out the stacked books.

[0020] The book stacking mechanism of the utility model also includes a first support device 6 and a second support device 7. The first support device 6 includes a first cylinder 61 and a first support plate 62. The second support device 7 includes a second cylinder 71 (the second cylinder is blocked by the second baffle 3 in the figure, so it is not shown) and a second support plate 72. The cylinder body of the first cylinder 61 is fixed to the outside of the first baffle 2, and the cylinder body of the second cylinder 71 is fixed to the outside of the second baffle 3. The first support plate 62 is rotatably connected to the piston rod of the first cylinder 61, and the second support plate 72 is rotatably connected to the piston rod of the second cylinder 71. The first support plate 62 and the second support plate 72 are relatively arranged on the inner sides of the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3. In actual use, the first support device 6 and the second support device 7 have the same structure.

[0021] The first cylinder 61 is fixed to the outer side of the first baffle plate 2 by bolts, and the piston rod is downward; in order to facilitate the first support plate 62 to be rotatably connected to the piston rod of the first cylinder 61, and the second support plate 72 to be rotatably connected to the piston rod of the second cylinder 71, a rotating shaft is installed on the first baffle plate 2 and the second baffle plate 3, and the first support plate 62 and the second support plate 72 are respectively fixedly installed on the corresponding rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is connected to the corresponding cylinder piston rod through a connecting head, one end of the connecting head is sleeved on the rotating shaft, and the other end is connected to the piston rod of the corresponding cylinder. Therefore, when the piston rods of the first cylinder 61 and the second cylinder 71 are extended and retracted, the rotating shaft can be pulled to rotate, thereby driving the first support plate 62 and the second support plate 72 to swing.

[0022] Specifically, when the books begin to be stacked, the piston rods of the first cylinder 61 and the second cylinder 71 are pushed downward, pushing the first support plate 62 and the second support plate 72 to rotate to a horizontal state, so that the books that fall into the accommodating cavity are gradually stacked above the first support plate 62 and the second support plate 72. When the books are stacked to a specified number, the piston rods of the first cylinder 61 and the second cylinder 71 are pulled back, so that the first support plate 62 and the second support plate 72 rotate to a vertical state, and the supporting and limiting effect of the two support plates on the books is released, and the stacked books fall downward onto the supporting platform 11, and then are pushed out by the front and rear pushing devices 4. After the previous stacked books are pushed out, the first support plate 62 and the second support plate 72 return to a horizontal state under the action of the cylinders, which is convenient for the stacking of the next stack of books.

[0023] The front and rear pushing device 4 includes a pushing cylinder 41 and a pushing plate 42. The pushing cylinder 41 is arranged on the stacking frame 1. The pushing plate 42 is connected to the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 41. The pushing plate 42 is located at one side of the accommodating chamber 5. The pushing cylinder 41 is arranged horizontally. When the stacked books fall onto the supporting platform 11, the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 41 extends to push out the books, and then retracts to facilitate the next push.

[0024] The book stacking mechanism of the present invention further comprises an adjusting screw 8, one end of which is sleeved on the stacking frame 1, and the other end of which is extended out of the stacking frame 1 and is provided with an adjusting handle 81, and the first baffle plate 2 and the second baffle plate 3 are both sleeved on the adjusting screw 8 and threadedly matched with the adjusting screw 8.

[0025] The first baffle plate 2 and the second baffle plate 3 are both sleeved and fixed with a sleeve 10, and the sleeve 10 is provided with a threaded hole. The first baffle plate 2 and the second baffle plate 3 cooperate with the adjusting screw 8 through the threaded hole on the sleeve 10. In actual use, the operator can drive the adjusting screw 8 to rotate by rotating the adjusting handle 81, so that the first baffle plate 2 and the second baffle plate 3 can move relative to the adjusting screw 8, so that the accommodating cavity formed between the two baffle plates can be aligned with the fallen books, thereby ensuring the stacking quality of the books.

[0026] The book stacking mechanism further includes a guide rod 20, both ends of which are fixed on the stacking frame 1, and the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 are sleeved on the guide rod 20. There may be two or three guide rods 20, which can support the baffles and guide them when the baffles move.

[0027] The book stacking mechanism of the present invention further includes a partitioning device 9, which includes a partitioning plate 91 and a partitioning cylinder 92. The partitioning plate 91 is located above the push plate 42, and the partitioning cylinder 92 is disposed on the stacking frame 1. The partitioning plate 91 is rotatably connected to the piston rod of the partitioning cylinder 92. The connection mode between the partitioning cylinder 92 and the partitioning plate 91 is the same as the connection mode between the first support plate 62 and the first cylinder 61, that is, the partitioning plate 91 can be driven to rotate to a horizontal state and a vertical state by the partitioning cylinder 92.

[0028] By providing the separation device 9, when the stacked books fall down onto the supporting platform 11 and are pushed forward by the push plate 42, the separation cylinder 92 pushes the separation plate 91 to rotate toward one side of the accommodating chamber and rotate to a horizontal state, so that the newly dropped books fall onto the separation plate 91, thereby preventing the newly dropped books from falling onto the already stacked books. When the stacked books are pushed out and the push plate 42 is pulled back into place, the first cylinder and the second cylinder push the first support plate and the second support plate to a horizontal state; at this time, the separation plate 91 is pulled back to a vertical state by the separation cylinder 92, and the books fall onto the first support plate 62 and the second support plate 72, and the next stack of books is stacked. Repeat the book stacking action.

[0029] The book stacking mechanism of the utility model further includes a front pressing plate 30 and a pressing plate cylinder 40. The front pressing plate 30 is located at the other side of the accommodating cavity 5. The pressing plate cylinder 40 is fixed on the stacking frame 1. The front pressing plate 30 is connected to the piston rod of the pressing plate cylinder 40. When the book falls on the first support plate 62 and the second support plate 72, the pressing plate cylinder 40 pushes the front pressing plate 30 toward one side of the book, so that the front side of the book is pressed tightly to maintain the neatness of the book stacking. When the book needs to fall down onto the bearing platform 11, the pressing plate cylinder 40 pulls the front pressing plate 30 back to facilitate the falling of the book.

[0030] The book stacking mechanism further includes an introduction roller 50 and a motor 60. The introduction roller 50 is located above the accommodating chamber 5. The motor 60 is fixed on the stacking frame 1. The introduction roller 50 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 60. The motor 60 can drive the introduction roller 50 to rotate, and when rotating, the book can be transported and transported to the accommodating chamber, which is conducive to maintaining continuity with the previous process.

[0031] The above are only preferred implementations of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
