The driving device 6 includes a driving motor 12 and a turntable 13. The driving motor 12 is installed at the center position of the turntable 13. The surface of the turntable 13 is movably connected with a first rotating block 11. The first rotating block 11 is eccentrically arranged on the turntable 13. The first rotating block 11 is connected with a movable arm 14. The other end of the movable arm 14 is connected with a second rotating block 15. The bottom end of the second rotating block 15 is movably connected with a connecting rod 16. Both ends of the connecting rod 16 are hinged with sliders 8. Push rods 9 are connected to the right sides of the sliders 8. Pushers 10 are connected to the ends of the push rods 9. The sorting table 5 is a hexagonal tabletop, and the turning range of the sorting table 5 is 0 - 360° in the horizontal direction. The driving device 6 rotates following the horizontal rotation of the sorting table 5
[0019] Specifically, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, the books identified by the radio frequency identifier 17 are transported to the sorting table 5 through the transfer table 1. The steering motor 21 drives the sorting table 5 to turn to the matching cart 4. The driving device 6 rotates synchronously with the sorting table 5. The driving motor 12 drives the turntable 13 to rotate. After the turntable 13 rotates, it drives the movable arm 14 to reciprocate through the first rotating block 11. The reciprocating movement of the movable arm 14 pushes and pulls the connecting rod 16. The slider 8 is embedded in the chute 7 and reciprocates under the drive of the connecting rod 16. The two groups of push hands 10 push the books to the corresponding guide plates 3. The books slide obliquely into the cart 4. Then the driving device 6 continues to rotate, and the movable arm 14 pulls back the two groups of push hands 10. The sorting table 5 resets to the left side of the scanning frame 2 for sorting the next book.
[0020] Optionally, the push hands 10 are "L"-shaped. The two groups of push hands 10 are symmetrically distributed about the center point of the connecting rod 16. The surface of the sorting table 5 is provided with a chute 7. The slider 8 is embedded in the chute 7 and moves. Guide plates 3 are arranged in front of, behind, at the left front side, and at the left rear side of the sorting table 5. The guide plates 3 are connected to the outside of the base 20 through fixing parts. The guide plates 3 are obliquely distributed and the highest point is lower than the tabletop of the sorting table 5. A cart 4 is arranged below the guide plates 3. The cart 4 is a box body with walking wheels at the bottom.
[0021] Specifically, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, each group of guide plates 3 is an inclined smooth metal plate. The guide plates 3 are fixed outside the base 20 through fixing parts and rotate following the horizontal rotation of the sorting table 5. When the push hands 10 push the books, the books will automatically fall into the corresponding cart 4 along the guide plates 3. Up to four categories can be set at one time, and the books will accurately fall into the cart 4. The cart 4 with a larger capacity can be replaced according to needs.
[0022] Optionally, a bracket 18 is arranged on the right side of the sorting table 5. A transfer table 1 is installed at the top of the bracket 18. One side of the bracket 18 is connected with a fixed seat 19. A scanning frame 2 is connected to the top of the fixed seat 19. The scanning frame 2 covers the transfer table 1. A radio frequency identifier 17 is installed in the scanning frame 2;
[0023] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, place the book with the scannable code part facing up on the transfer table 1. The transfer table 1 horizontally transports the book under the scanning frame 2. The radio frequency identifier 17 is connected to the control system of the entire device. By means of the control system, the data information in the radio frequency tag embedded in the book is retrieved to achieve rapid identification of the book category. Each book's radio frequency tag is preset with a corresponding classification code. After being read by the radio frequency identifier 17, the code is sent to the control system. The control system automatically determines which sorting path the book belongs to according to the preset classification rules, and automatically sends a signal to the steering motor 21 to make the sorting table 5 rotate to the corresponding sorting direction.
[0024] The working principle of the book sorting device for libraries applied for in the present utility model is as follows:
[0025] First, place the book with the scannable code part facing up on the transfer table 1. The transfer table 1 horizontally transports the book under the scanning frame 2. The radio frequency identifier 17 is connected to the control system of the entire device. By means of the control system, the data information in the radio frequency tag embedded in the book is retrieved to achieve rapid identification of the book category. Each book's radio frequency tag is preset with a corresponding classification code. After being read by the radio frequency identifier 17, the code is sent to the control system. The control system automatically determines which sorting path the book belongs to according to the preset classification rules. Compared with the traditional scanning method, it is contactless and has a fast recognition speed, and can achieve non-contact automatic recognition when the book passes through.
[0026] Then, the control system automatically sends a signal to the steering motor 21. The book identified by the radio frequency identifier 17 is transported to the sorting table 5 through the transfer table 1. The steering motor 21 drives the sorting table 5 to turn to the matching cart 4. The driving motor 12 drives the turntable 13 to rotate. After the turntable 13 rotates, it drives the movable arm 14 to reciprocate through the first rotating block 11. The reciprocating movement of the movable arm 14 pushes and pulls the connecting rod 16. The slider 8 is embedded in the chute 7 and reciprocates under the drive of the connecting rod 16. The two groups of pushers 10 push the book to the corresponding guide plate 3, and the book slides obliquely into the cart 4. Then the turntable 13 continues to rotate, and the movable arm 14 pulls back the two groups of pushers 10, and the sorting table 5 resets to the left of the scanning frame 2 for sorting the next book.
