[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] refer to Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a novel conveyor inside a book lending and returning machine, comprising: a book lending and returning machine body 1 with a book returning channel running through it from front to back; a feeding frame 2, an RFID sensing module 9, and a discharging frame 6 arranged sequentially from front to back in the book returning channel; a conveying component for transferring books through the RFID sensing module 9 between the feeding frame 2 and the discharging frame 6; and a conveying component consisting of a conveyor belt, a lifting mechanism, and a driving mechanism arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The lifting mechanism is used to drive the rotating end of the conveyor belt to engage with the driving end of the driving mechanism for lifting and lowering, thereby adjusting the height of the conveyor belt within the book returning channel.

[0027] As described above, using the book lending and returning machine body 1, feeding frame 2, RFID sensing module 9, discharging frame 6 and conveying components provided by this utility model, the books can be conveyed through the RFID sensing module 9 via the conveyor belt. When the conveyor belt malfunctions, the lifting mechanism is activated, disconnecting the conveyor belt from the drive mechanism and raising it into the book return channel. At this time, the conveyor belt can be removed through the book return channel without the need for complete disassembly and assembly of the book lending and returning machine body 1, thus reducing the difficulty of removing the conveyor belt.

[0028] Furthermore, to facilitate the power connection between the drive shaft 16 and the rotating shaft, refer to... Figure 4-6As shown, the rotating end is a rectangular drive shaft 16, and the driving end is a drive shaft 11. The book lending and returning machine body 1 is provided with a support base 19 for supporting the rotation of the drive shaft 11. A rectangular slot 4 extending to the axis is opened on the outer wall of the drive shaft 11. At least part of the drive shaft 16 is connected to the rectangular slot 4 from the outside to the inside. When it is necessary to connect the conveyor belt to the drive shaft 11, the rectangular slot 4 on the drive shaft 11 is oriented upwards. At this time, the lifting mechanism is activated, driving the conveyor belt to descend, allowing the drive shaft 16 to fall into the rectangular slot 4. When the drive shaft 11 rotates, the drive shaft 16 can drive the conveyor belt to rotate and transport the items.

[0029] In this utility model, combined with Figure 4-5 As shown, the conveyor belt of this embodiment includes a mounting base 15, two driven wheels 7 and a conveyor belt 5. The two driven wheels 7 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the mounting base 15, and the conveyor belt 5 is wound between the two driven wheels 7. One end of the drive shaft 16 is mounted on the axis outside one end of one of the driven wheels 7.

[0030] As described above, when using the conveyor belt provided by this utility model, the two driven wheels 7 in the conveyor belt are provided with a rotating mounting position through the mounting base 15. When the drive shaft 11 rotates, it drives one of the driven wheels 7 to rotate through the transmission shaft 16, and drives the other driven wheel 7 to rotate under the transmission of the conveyor belt 5. At this time, the conveyor belt 5 transmits between the two driven wheels 7, so that the books are transmitted between the feeding frame 2 and the discharging frame 6.

[0031] Furthermore, to facilitate the rotational drive of the drive shaft 11, refer to... Figure 2 As shown, the drive mechanism includes a servo motor 12, a first pulley 10, a second pulley 13, and a drive belt 14. The servo motor 12 is located below the book return channel. The second pulley 13 is mounted on the output end of the servo motor 12. The first pulley 10 is located on the axis of one end of the drive shaft 11. The drive belt 14 is driven between the first pulley 10 and the second pulley 13. The servo motor 12 and the drive shaft 11 are connected by the first pulley 10, the second pulley 13, and the drive belt 14. When the servo motor 12 starts, it drives the drive shaft 11 to rotate through the first pulley 10, the second pulley 13, and the drive belt 14.

[0032] In this utility model, combined with Figure 4 As shown, the lifting mechanism of this embodiment includes a lifting motor 18, which is installed longitudinally below the book return channel. The bottom of the mounting base 15 is provided with a docking seat 3, and the lifting end of the lifting motor 18 is detachably connected to the docking seat 3.

[0033] As described above, when using the lifting mechanism provided by this utility model, the lifting motor 18 in the lifting mechanism is started, driving the conveyor belt to rise and allowing the conveyor belt to rotate in the book return channel. At this time, the docking seat 3 is disengaged from the lifting end, so that the conveyor belt can be taken out from the book return channel, which is convenient for the inspection and replacement of the conveyor belt.

[0034] Furthermore, to facilitate a detachable connection between the mounting base 15 and the lifting motor 18, refer to... Figure 7 As shown, the bottom of the docking seat 3 is provided with a accommodating lifting end that is inserted into the docking hole 8. The outside of the docking seat 3 is provided with a fixing pin 17 that is inserted into the lifting end. When the conveyor belt rises into the book return channel, the fixing pin 17 is removed in the book return channel. At this time, the fixing between the docking seat 3 and the lifting end is contacted, and the conveyor belt is disengaged upward, allowing the lifting end to disengage from the docking hole 8. At this time, the conveyor belt can be disconnected from the lifting motor 18, making it easy for the conveyor belt to be taken out through the book return channel.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
