[0024] Embodiment 1:
[0025] The following further details the present application with reference to the drawings.
[0026] The embodiment of the present application discloses an automatic page aligning machine, which includes a step conveyor belt 1 and a feeding mechanism 2 arranged in parallel. The feeding mechanism 2 is arranged above one side of the step conveyor belt 1. The feeding mechanism 2 includes a support frame 21, a material placement rack 22 and a material transfer component 23. The material placement rack 22 is arranged on one side of the support frame 21. A number of mutually parallel placement slots 221 are arranged on the material placement rack 22 for stacking stacks of each page of paper respectively. The material transfer component 23 is movably arranged on the other side of the support frame 21 for taking out single pages of paper from each stack of paper placed in each placement slot 221 and horizontally placing them on the step conveyor belt 1.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the material transfer component 23 includes a fixed rotating shaft 231, a moving rotating shaft 232 and a limit steering component 233. The fixed rotating shaft 231 is rotatably connected to the support frame 21, and one end thereof is connected with a driving device 234 capable of controlling its rotation. The moving rotating shaft 232 is connected to the fixed rotating shaft 231 through a plurality of connecting rods 235. One ends of the connecting rods 235 are fixedly connected to the fixed rotating shaft 231, and the other ends are rotatably connected to the moving rotating shaft 232. A plurality of material taking modules 236 are fixedly connected to the moving rotating shaft 232, and one end of the moving rotating shaft 232 is connected to the support frame 21 through the limit steering component 233. The driving device 234 drives the fixed rotating shaft 231 to rotate. The rotation of the fixed rotating shaft 231 can drive the moving rotating shaft 232 to move back and forth between the material placement rack 22 and the stepping conveyor belt 1 through the connecting rods 235, and the limit steering component 233 can enable the moving rotating shaft 232 to rotate during the movement, thereby changing the grasping direction of the material taking module 236.
[0028] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 shown, the driving device 234 is an ordinary cylinder, its cylinder body is rotatably connected to the support frame 21, and its piston rod end is connected to the fixed rotating shaft 231 through a transmission rod 237. One end of the transmission rod 237 is fixedly connected to the fixed rotating shaft 231, and the other end is rotatably connected to the piston rod end of the cylinder. When the cylinder expands and contracts, it can drive the fixed rotating shaft 231 to rotate through the transmission rod 237.
[0029] Preferably, the limit steering component 233 is an optical axis slider. The slider part of the optical axis slider is fixedly connected to the moving rotating shaft 232, and one end of its optical axis part is rotatably connected to the support frame 21. When the moving rotating shaft 232 moves, one end of it rotates under the limiting action of the optical axis slider.
[0030] Preferably, the material taking module 236 is a vacuum suction cup. A plurality of vacuum suction cups are fixedly connected to the moving rotating shaft 232 corresponding to the positions of the placement grooves 221 at equal intervals. When the material taking module 236 is driven by the moving rotating shaft 232 to the front end of the placement groove 221, the vacuum suction cup sucks a single piece of cardboard. During the return movement, the vacuum suction cup rotates with the rotation of the moving rotating shaft 232. When it reaches above the stepping conveyor belt 1, the vacuum suction cup releases, and the paper falls horizontally onto the stepping conveyor belt 1.
[0031] Preferably, the material placement rack 22 is inclined towards the material transfer component 23, and a stop rod 222 is fixedly connected above its front end. Buffer bumps 223 are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the placement grooves 221. The arrangement of the buffer bumps 223 can prevent the whole paper stack from slipping from below the placement groove 221. When the vacuum suction cup sucks the paper, the paper can pass through between the stop rod 222 and the buffer bumps 223 in a bent state.
[0032] The implementation principle of an automatic page collator in an embodiment of this application is as follows: During use, workers sequentially place stacks of sheets of paper into respective placement slots 221, start the machine, first the cylinder of the driving device 234 contracts to drive the transmission rod 237 to rotate. The transmission rod 237 drives the fixed rotating shaft 231 to rotate. The fixed rotating shaft 231 drives the moving rotating shaft 232 to move upward to the position of the paper through the connecting rod 235. As Figure 6 shown, during the movement of the fixed rotating shaft 231, due to the limiting effect of the optical axis slider, it also rotates itself, thereby causing the vacuum suction cups of the material taking module 236 to rotate by a certain angle. As Figures 3 - 5 shown, after each vacuum suction cup sucks a single sheet of paper, the cylinder of the driving device 234 extends, and the fixed rotating shaft 231 and the moving rotating shaft 232 return to their original positions. During this process, the vacuum suction cups and each sheet of paper rotate to a horizontal state and fall onto the stepping conveyor belt 1. Immediately afterwards, the stepping conveyor belt 1 transports forward by a distance between adjacent sheets of paper. Repeat the above actions to remove the missing paper stacks in the previous groups, and the subsequent sheets of paper can be automatically stacked and collated. Later, workers only need to add paper to the placement slots 221.
[0033] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application. This does not limit the protection scope of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the protection scope of this application.
