[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the clamping book turning device of the embodiment of the utility model comprises: a roller conveyor belt 10, a clamping mechanism 20 and a driving mechanism 30, wherein the roller conveyor belt 10 is used to convey books; the clamping mechanism 20 is used to clamp books, the clamping mechanism 20 comprises a first clamping jaw 21, a second clamping jaw 22 and a clamping jaw bracket 23, the first clamping jaw 21 and the second clamping jaw 22 are arranged on the clamping jaw bracket 23, the first clamping jaw 21 and the second clamping jaw 22 are respectively located at the upper and lower sides of the roller conveyor belt 10, the first clamping jaw 21 and the second clamping jaw 22 each comprise a plurality of clamping plates, the thickness of each clamping plate is less than the distance between two adjacent rollers of the roller conveyor belt 10, so that the clamping plate can pass through the roller conveyor belt 10 when moving up and down; the driving mechanism 30 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 20 to rotate and move up and down.
[0020] The basic operation logic of the clamping book turning device of this embodiment is as follows: the book is transported on the roller conveyor belt 10, and the driving mechanism 30 drives the clamping mechanism 20 to move upward. The clamping mechanism 20 clamps the book so that the book is located between the first clamping jaw 21 and the second clamping jaw 22, and the lowest point of the second clamping jaw 22 located on the lower side is higher than the roller surface of the roller conveyor belt 10. At this time, the clamping mechanism 20 is located above the roller conveyor belt 10; then, the driving mechanism 30 drives the clamping mechanism 20 to rotate to turn the book over; finally, the driving mechanism 30 drives the clamping mechanism 20 to move downward, the clamping mechanism 20 releases the book, and makes the upper surface of the first clamping jaw 21 located on the lower side after rotation lower than the roller surface of the roller conveyor belt, and the roller conveyor belt 10 can convey the book to the next book processing step.
[0021] Since the first clamping jaw 21 and the second clamping jaw 22 both include a plurality of clamping plates with a thickness less than the distance between two adjacent rollers of the roller conveyor belt 10, the first clamping jaw 21 and the second clamping jaw 22 can pass through the gap between the roller conveyor belts 10 when moving up and down, and there is no need to set up a special area between different conveyor belts to set up a clamping book turning device, which can save production space; since the book is turned directly above the roller conveyor belt 10, it will not fall out of the roller conveyor belt 10, and the production efficiency is high.
[0022] In one embodiment of the present invention, when the gripping book turning device does not turn the book, the upper surface of the lower gripping claw is lower than the roller surface of the roller conveyor belt 10 , so that the book can move smoothly on the roller conveyor belt 10 .
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the clamping mechanism 20 may further include a cylinder 24, which is disposed on the clamping jaw bracket 23, and the first clamping jaw 21 is disposed on the cylinder 24, and the cylinder 24 is used to drive the first clamping jaw 21 to move up and down, so that the first clamping jaw 21 and the second clamping jaw 22 can clamp the book.
[0024] Specifically, the cylinder 24 is provided with a magnetic switch for controlling the movement position of the cylinder 24, so that the first clamping jaw 21 does not continue to move downward after clamping the book with the second clamping jaw 22, thereby causing damage to the book. When the clamping book turning device completes the turning of the book, the cylinder 24 can automatically return to the initial position, so that the next book can follow the movement of the roller conveyor belt 10 and be conveyed between the first clamping jaw 21 and the second clamping jaw 22. The initial position can be set by the staff according to experience, so that all books that need to be turned over by the clamping book turning device can move between the first clamping jaw 21 and the second clamping jaw 22.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the utility model, the driving mechanism 30 includes: a frame 31, a first driving motor 32 and a second driving motor 33, wherein the first driving motor 32 is installed on the frame 31, and the first driving motor 32 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 20 to move up and down; the second driving motor 33, one side of the second driving motor 33 is connected to the first driving motor 32, and the other side of the second driving motor 33 is connected to the clamping claw bracket 23, and the second driving motor 33 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 20 to rotate above the roller conveyor belt 10.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the utility model, the clamping type book turning device may further include: a through-beam sensor 40 and a stopping mechanism 50, wherein the through-beam sensor 40 is used to detect whether the book reaches a preset turning position; the stopping mechanism 50 is arranged in the forward direction of the roller conveyor belt 10, and the stopping mechanism 50 is used to stop the book.
[0027] Before the clamping mechanism 20 clamps the book, the book is transported on the roller conveyor belt. When the through-beam sensor 40 detects that the book has reached the preset flipping position, the stopping mechanism 50 rises to stop the book, so that the clamping mechanism 20 can accurately clamp the book; then the roller conveyor belt 10 can stop moving to prevent the next book from moving under the clamping mechanism 20 in advance; after the clamping book flipping device completes the flipping of the book, the roller conveyor belt 10 continues to move, and the stopping mechanism 50 can descend, so that the flipped book enters the next book processing procedure; when the through-beam sensor 40 detects that the flipped book has completely left the preset flipping position, the stopping mechanism 50 can rise again to stop the next book to be flipped.
[0028] It should be noted that before the book is turned over, as long as the clamping mechanism 20 clamps the book, the stopping mechanism 50 can be lowered, and before the next book to be turned over moves to the preset turning position, the stopping mechanism 50 rises again, so that each book to be turned over can be stopped.
[0029] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the operation process of the clamping type book turning device is as follows:
[0030] The book is transported on the roller conveyor 10 and reaches the stop mechanism 50. At this time, the shooting sensor 40 senses that the book has reached the preset flipping position, and the roller conveyor 10 stops running. Then the first drive motor 32 drives the clamping mechanism 20 to move upward as a whole, ensuring that the upper surface of the second clamping jaw 22 is flush with the roller surface. Then the cylinder 24 is actuated to drive the first clamping jaw 21 to move upward. Since the second clamping jaw 22 is fixed, the book is clamped.
[0031] Next, the first drive motor 32 drives the clamping mechanism 20 to move upward, driving the book to move upward, and when it rises to a certain position (for example, the lowest point of the second clamping jaw 22 is higher than the roller surface of the roller conveyor belt 20), the second drive motor 33 starts to move, driving the clamping mechanism 20 and the book to rotate 180° as a whole. After completion, the first drive motor 32 is energized and drives the clamping mechanism 20 to move downward. When it moves to a suitable position (for example, the upper surface of the first clamping jaw 21 of the clamping mechanism 20 is flush with the roller surface of the roller conveyor belt 20), the cylinder 24 moves in the opposite direction. At this time, the first clamping jaw 21 is driven to move downward, and the book on the first clamping jaw 21 drops together with the cylinder 24 until it drops to the roller of the roller conveyor belt 10 and the upper surface of the first clamping jaw 21 is lower than the roller surface of the roller conveyor belt 10. At this time, the stop mechanism 50 drops, and the roller conveyor belt 10 starts to transport the book that has been flipped 180° back and forth to the next station.
[0032] After the book has completely flowed out of this station, the stop mechanism 50 rises. Then the cylinder 24 moves in the reverse direction to retract the first clamping jaw 21, so that the first clamping jaw 21 and the second clamping jaw 22 of the clamping mechanism 20 are in a clamped state, and the first drive motor 32 drives the clamping mechanism 20 to move upward to a suitable position (for example, the lowest point of the first clamping jaw 21 is higher than the roller surface of the roller transmission belt 20), and the second drive motor 33 drives 180° in the reverse direction, and then the first drive motor 32 drives the clamping mechanism 20 to descend back to the initial position before the book is turned over, and finally the cylinder 24 extends, and the first clamping jaw 21 is in an upward and loose state, waiting for the next book to be turned over to be transported to the preset turning position, and then the above actions are repeated.
[0033] In summary, according to the clamping type book turning device of the embodiment of the utility model, the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw of the clamping mechanism are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the roller conveyor belt, and the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw both include a plurality of clamping plates whose thickness is less than the distance between two adjacent rollers of the roller conveyor belt. Therefore, when the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw move up and down, they can pass through the gap between the roller conveyor belts. There is no need to set up a special area between different conveyor belts to set up the clamping type book turning device, which can save production space; because the book is turned directly above the roller conveyor belt, it will not fall out of the roller conveyor belt, and the production efficiency is high.
