[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the clip-type book feeding device includes: a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2, a plurality of feeding components 3, a second horizontal guide rail 4, a bracket component 5 and an adsorption component 6.

The book holder 53 adopts a hollow structure and is used to support books. The book holder 53 can pass through the bottom of the loading component 3 and move vertically on the vertical guide rail 52, and the book holder 53 can move horizontally in the hollow part between multiple loading components 3 driven by the fixed plate 51; the adsorption component 6 is arranged above the conveyor belt 1, and the adsorption component 6 is used to adsorb the books 10 on the book holder 53 to the conveyor belt 1.

[0025] Specifically, Figure 1As shown, Figure 1 The figure shows 6 book loading assemblies 3. Since the loading is done one by one, it is called clip loading, i.e. 6 clips. The loading assembly 3 can be Figure 1 The loading component 3 moves in the horizontal direction indicated by the arrow L1, and is provided with three stopping positions: loading position, waiting position, and replenishing position, and can stop at the loading position, waiting position, and replenishing position. Figure 1 In the figure, 3-1 and 3-4 are loading components 3 staying at the loading position, 3-2 is the loading component 3 staying at the replenishing position, and 3-3 is the loading component 3 staying at the waiting position, that is, 3-1 is in the loading state, 3-4 is in the ready loading state, and after the books in the loading bin at position 3-1 are loaded, the book holder 53 is controlled to descend to the bottom along the vertical track 62, that is, Figure 2 The middle circle part is on the second horizontal guide rail 4. Figure 1 The horizontal direction indicated by the arrow L2 in the middle moves to the loading assembly of 3-4 to load the loading bin of 3-4. The loading position can be the front position of the first horizontal guide rail 31, the waiting position can be the middle position of the first horizontal guide rail 31, and the replenishing position can be the rear position of the first horizontal guide rail 31 close to the frame.

[0026] The loading bin stops after reaching the loading position, and the adsorption component 6 moves to the top of the book, adsorbs the book on the book holder 53 to the conveyor belt 1, and is transferred to the next station by the conveyor belt 1 to complete the loading of books one by one. After the previous book is absorbed, the adsorption component 6 completes the book-taking action again, and the cycle is repeated until all the books in the current loading bin are taken out. After all the books are taken out, the loading bin is controlled to automatically return to the refilling position, and the upper computer is used to inform the staff to refill in time, which effectively ensures the non-stop work of the subsequent assembly line, saves space, and ensures the continuity of the processing line. Therefore, the utility model adopts a clip-type loading component, which can automatically move to the loading of the next loading component after completing the loading of one loading component, and the loading component can automatically run to the refilling position and stay after the loading is completed, so that the refilling can be done quickly, which greatly improves the efficiency of book loading.

[0027] It is understandable that Figure 1-2 As shown, the book holder 53 adopts a hollow structure, and the loading bin 32 also adopts a hollow structure matched therewith, so that the book holder 53 can pass through the loading bin 32 to reach the hollow part, and then the bracket assembly can move horizontally in the L2 direction. That is to say, in the utility model, the loading assembly 3 can only move forward and backward, and the bracket assembly 5 can move left and right as well as up and down, which can achieve the effect of space saving and strong expandability.

[0029] Specifically, the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) controls the first motor 63 to drive the sponge suction cup 61 to the top of the book, and then controls the cylinder 62 through the PLC to control it to descend to fit the book, and finally uses the negative air pressure to suck the book and drag it onto the conveyor belt 2, which transfers it to the next station to complete the loading of books one by one. After the previous book is sucked, the PLC controls the servo to move the book bracket 53 upwards, controls the sponge suction cup 61 to complete the book picking action again, and repeats the cycle in sequence until all the books in the loading bin are taken out.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the above-mentioned clip-type book feeding device further includes: a beam sensor 7 , which is arranged on the upper part of the feeding bin 31 .

[0031] Specifically, the through-beam sensor 7 is used to sense whether the loading of the current book has been completed.

Therefore, it is possible to judge whether the loading of the current book has been completed through the sensing signal of the through-beam sensor 7, so that the sponge suction cup 61 can complete the loading of books one by one.

[0032] In the present invention, the feeding assembly 3 may include 3-6 pieces. Figure 1 Six are shown.

[0033] Furthermore, in the embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the above-mentioned clip-type book feeding device further includes: an in-place sensor 8, which is arranged on the first horizontal guide rail 31 and is used to detect the position of the feeding bin.

[0034] Specifically, there may be three in-place sensors 8 , which are respectively arranged at the front position, the middle position, and the rear position close to the frame of the first horizontal guide rail 31 , and the position of the loading bin is determined based on the signals detected by the in-place sensors 8 .

[0035] In the embodiment of the present invention, two vertical guide rails 52 may be provided, so as to improve the stability of the book holder when it is raised.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 3 As shown, the bracket assembly also includes: a synchronous belt 54, a second motor 55 and a reducer 56, the synchronous belt 54 is fixed on the fixed plate 51; the reducer 56 is fixed on the fixed plate 51, the reducer 56 is connected to the synchronous belt 54, and the reducer 56 is used to control the speed of the synchronous belt 54; the second motor 55 is fixed on the fixed plate 51, the second motor 55 is connected to the reducer 56 and the synchronous belt 54, and the second motor 55 is used to drive the synchronous belt 54 to drive the book bracket 53 to move vertically on the vertical guide rail 52.

[0037] Specifically, by the linkage of the synchronous belt 54 and the connection of the motor to the reducer, low speed and high torque can be achieved.

[0038] In the embodiment of the utility model, a single loading assembly 3 can be fully loaded with more than 70 books, and the total weight combined with the weight of the book holder is about 50kg. In order to reasonably utilize the space and meet the heavy load requirements, the motor and PLC can be placed in parallel in the utility model.
