[0032] like Figure 1 The present invention provides a device for separating single books from batches of books, comprising a frame, on which are mounted a head-end conveyor, an intermediate sorting conveyor, and a terminal conveyor. The intermediate sorting conveyor is docked with the head-end conveyor. The intermediate sorting conveyor comprises a plurality of conveyor units connected end to end for upwardly inclined conveying. A speed difference is set between the conveyor units (for example, the farther the conveyor unit is from the head-end conveyor, the faster it is; of course, the speed can also be adjusted according to actual conditions). The terminal conveyor is used to receive books conveyed by the intermediate sorting conveyor. The terminal conveyor is provided with an identification device for determining whether to output a single book. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the identification device comprises an RFID reader / writer module, and the books are affixed with RFID tags.

[0033] The head-end conveying device includes a front-end docking conveyor belt conveyor 1. The conveying unit is a separation belt conveyor. Specifically, the intermediate sorting conveyor device includes a first separation belt conveyor 2, a second separation belt conveyor 3, a third separation belt conveyor 4, and a fourth separation belt conveyor 5 in the conveying direction.

[0034] The terminal conveyor includes a docking and sorting belt line 6. A single-book separation failure collection box 7 is provided below the docking and sorting belt line 6. The single-book separation failure collection box 7 can be set to the side of the docking and sorting belt line 6, and then non-single books are pushed into the docking and sorting belt line 6 by a push plate or other structure. As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the input end of the docking and sorting belt line 6 is lower than the output pipe of the fourth separation belt conveyor 5. The single-book separation failure collection box 7 is set below the end of the docking and sorting belt line 6 near the fourth separation belt conveyor 5. The fourth separation belt conveyor 5 reverses and conveys the books into the single-book separation failure collection box 7. No other collection structure is required, the structure is simple, and it does not interfere with the docking and sorting line at the rear end of the fourth separation belt conveyor 5.

[0035] In order to facilitate movement, rollers are provided below the single-book separation failure collection box 7.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] The library places a batch of books onto the front-end docking conveyor 1 (the books can come from a book return device, such as a book return machine, an automatic book rewinder, or be deposited in batches by librarians). This conveyor 1 then transports the books to the first separation conveyor 2. This first separation conveyor 2 initially separates the batch of books by adjusting the angle of the ramp. It then transports the books to the second separation conveyor 3, where it separates the books again by adjusting the conveying speed and ramp angle. The separated books are then transported to the third separation conveyor 4, where they are further separated by adjusting the conveying speed and ramp angle. The separated books are then transported to the fourth separation conveyor 5, where the batch is finally separated into individual books by adjusting the conveying speed and ramp angle. The separated books are then transported to the docking sorting conveyor 6, where a built-in RFID reader / writer module identifies the RFID tag attached to the book and determines whether it is a single book entering the conveyor. If it is determined to be a single book, it will be directly transported to the rear docking sorting line. If it is determined to be multiple books, the separation is not successful. The fourth separation belt conveyor 5 is reversed to transport the books from the gap between the fourth separation belt conveyor 5 and the docking sorting belt line 6 to the single-book separation failure collection box 7. When the single-book separation failure collection box 7 is full of books, it can be poured back to the front docking conveyor belt 1 for sorting.

[0038] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to them. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and they should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
