Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to transmission equipment technical field especially relates to a book layered conveying device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The book quantity of library is huge, and the workload of identification and management in the process of book entering the warehouse, lending and returning books

[0003] If only ISBN book number or book name is used for identification and management, it is very easy to make mistakes. Therefore, in order to manage books more conveniently and efficiently, the book management personnel generally prints the library code, RFID tag or seal on the pages of each book.

[0004] In the process of book processing, the cover, back cover, title page or other pages of the book need to be turned over in order to seal, label or scan the turned-over book. In order to solve the problem of high labor intensity and low work efficiency in manual turning, there are corresponding processing systems in the prior art, for example, the structure recorded in the patent application No. CN202210394960.5, named a book continuous turning processing system. The system recorded in the patent uses a book carrying platform to transport each book, when the book is transported to a specific position, the book edge returning mechanism, page carrying platform, turning mechanism, page pushing mechanism and page pressing mechanism of the processing system cooperate with each other, which can realize automatic turning of the book, so as to facilitate labeling, sealing, scanning, inner page folding and gluing of the turned-over book.

[0005] In the above-mentioned patent, since the book carrying platform can only transport each book, so that each mechanism basically needs to move down to ensure that each mechanism can cooperate to process books of different thickness on the book carrying platform. However, in the above-mentioned processing system, the installation position of each scanning device (high-definition camera) of the page information acquisition unit is fixed relative to the book carrying platform. At this time, since the books placed on the book carrying platform have different thicknesses, the fixed setting of each camera has the problem of fuzzy focusing in the process of collecting book information. In addition, the mechanical arm and blowing device in the turning mechanism will also frequently calculate the distance of each time rising and falling due to the different heights of books. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a conveying device to ensure that the distance between books of different thickness and each high-definition camera is basically the same, which facilitates the collection of book information by each camera and the operation of other related mechanisms. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a book layered conveying device, which solves the problem of easy virtual focusing of each high-definition camera in the process of collecting information of different books in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the utility model discloses the following technical scheme: A book layered conveying device, including fixed transmission part and at least one lifting part,

[0008] The fixed transmission part has a transmission platform for conveying books, and each lifting part is arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the books on the fixed transmission part, and any lifting part is arranged to ascend and descend along the fixed transmission part.

[0009] The lifting part has a carrying platform for carrying a single book or for carrying and conveying a single book,

[0010] The lifting part ascends, and the carrying platform of the lifting part is separated from the transmission platform of the fixed transmission part,

[0011] The lifting part ascends to the upper surface of any book on it, and the upper surface is located at a preset height.

[0012] The lifting part descends to a height less than or equal to the height of the transmission platform of the fixed transmission part, and cooperates with the fixed transmission part to convey books.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The lifting part of the present application can automatically adjust the ascending height according to books of different thicknesses, so that the height of the upper surface of any book on the lifting part can be at the target height position, facilitating the processing of the book by the page information acquisition unit. Even if each scanning unit of the page information acquisition unit is relatively fixedly arranged with the fixed transmission part, the problem of acquisition failure caused by the change in book thickness can be avoided, so that the processing device of the present application can process books of different thicknesses. At the same time, the positions of the mechanical arm and the blowing device in the page turning mechanism can also be relatively fixed, and complex calculation and lifting position adjustment are not necessary, which greatly improves the book processing efficiency.

[0015] 2. After the lifting part and the fixed transmission part are separated, the fixed transmission part can also convey subsequent books. After the subsequent books reach the positions of other lifting parts in the conveying direction, the subsequent books can be cooperatively processed by the subsequent lifting parts and the page information acquisition units cooperating with the lifting parts, so that the conveying device of the present application can process multiple books simultaneously on one conveying path, further increasing the processing efficiency. Specifically, the book layered conveying device can set a corresponding number n (n is a positive integer), which is similar to a parallel connection, so that the effective processing efficiency of the books is increased by n times.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0030] The book layered conveying device of the present application needs to be used in cooperation with various mechanisms in other book processing systems. Therefore, in the present specification, the overall structure and principle of the book processing system are displayed to further show the role of the book layered conveying device.

[0031] It should be noted that the marking processing of the book mainly includes printing the library code, the anti-fake code, the RFID tag, and stamping on the book, and the adhesive processing of the cover folding page of the book, and the specific processing method can refer to the content recorded in the patent with the patent application number CN202210395004.9. The present application mainly ensures that books of different thicknesses can be raised to a target height (a preset height) to facilitate the processing of books reaching the target height. At the same time, it is worth noting that the actions of each mechanism in the present application and the coordinated actions of multiple mechanisms are realized through the controller and the programming software, and the present application describes the action principle of each mechanism / component.

[0032] As Figures 1-10As shown, the book processing system disclosed in the present application comprises a book layered conveying device 100, at least one processing unit, and at least one book page information acquisition unit with the same number as the processing unit; the processing unit is located above the book layered conveying device 100 and is used for marking processing of the book; the book page information acquisition unit is used for acquiring information on the book page; the processing unit is located above the book layered conveying device 100 and is used for marking processing of the book; the book page information acquisition unit is used for acquiring information on the book page; the book layered conveying device 100 comprises a fixed conveying part 120 and at least one lifting part 110 with the same number as the processing unit, wherein the book page information acquisition unit is fixedly installed opposite to the fixed conveying part 120, each lifting part 110 is used in cooperation with the corresponding processing unit and book page information acquisition unit; the fixed conveying part 120 has a conveying platform for conveying the book, each lifting part 110 is arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the book on the fixed conveying part 120, and any lifting part 110 is arranged to ascend and descend along the fixed conveying part 120; the lifting part 110 has a carrying platform for carrying a single book or for carrying and conveying a single book, the lifting part 110 ascends, the carrying platform of the lifting part 110 is separated from the conveying platform of the fixed conveying part 120, the lifting part 110 ascends to a preset height, the processing unit and the book page information acquisition unit process the book page of the book that ascends to the preset height; the lifting part 110 descends to a height less than or equal to the height of the conveying platform of the fixed conveying part 120 and cooperates with the fixed conveying part 120 to convey the book.

[0033] It can be understood that the processing unit is mainly used for marking processing of the book, and in the marking processing process, the book page information acquisition unit needs to be cooperated, therefore, a single book needs one processing unit and one book page information acquisition unit during the processing process, and the lifting part 110 is used for moving the single book to the target height, which is equivalent to that, during the processing process of the single book, one lifting part 110, one processing unit and one book page information acquisition unit are needed, therefore, several lifting parts 110 are arranged on the fixed conveying part 120 along the conveying direction thereof, and the corresponding number of processing units and book page information acquisition units need to be matched. The fixed conveying part 120 is equivalent to a conveying mechanism and has a specific conveying direction for each book, therefore, when the fixed conveying part 120 is connected with multiple lifting parts 110, each lifting part 110 needs to be arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the fixed conveying part 120, so as to lift each book conveyed on the fixed conveying part 120.

[0034] The cooperation of each lifting part 110 with the fixed conveying part 120 and the cooperation of each lifting part 110 with the processing unit and the book page information acquisition unit are the same, therefore, in the present application, one lifting part 110 connected with the fixed conveying part 120 is taken as an example to demonstrate the principle of the present application.

[0035] Before entering the book layering conveyor 100, the thickness of each book is measured sequentially. The book thickness measurement instrument can be a non-contact thickness gauge, such as an X-ray thickness gauge or a laser thickness gauge; alternatively, it can be an image acquisition from the side to calculate the book's height, or other existing devices or methods for obtaining book height. The thickness data of each book is transmitted to the controller of the entire system for processing. Following the transmission order of each book, ensuring that each book is transported to the lifting unit 110, the controller controls the lifting unit 110 to rise a distance 'a' plus the thickness 'b' of each book, which is a constant value X. This X represents the height at which the upper surface of any book described in this application can rise to the same target height (preset height) under the action of the lifting unit 110.

[0036] like Figure 11 As shown, assuming that, according to the transmission order of the books, the book located at the first transmission position ( Figure 11 The thickness of the structure shown on the left is b. When the book moves to the lifting unit 110, the lifting unit 110 needs to rise a distance a; when the book is located at the second transmission position ( Figure 11 When the thickness of the structure shown in the diagram on the right is b-2cm, after the book moves to the position of the lifting part 110, the lifting part 110 needs to rise a+2cm.

[0037] When there is one lifting unit 110, the controller measures the thickness of each book sequentially and then controls the lifting unit 110 to automatically adjust its lifting distance to suit books of different thicknesses. If there are two lifting units 110, the lifting unit 110 at the beginning of the fixed transmission unit 120 is adjusted to match the thickness of books at odd-numbered positions in the book transmission direction; the lifting unit 110 at the end of the fixed transmission unit 120 is adjusted to match the thickness of books at even-numbered positions in the book transmission direction. This process continues, adjusting the algorithm according to the number of lifting units 110 to ensure that the lifting distance 'a' of the lifting unit 110 plus the thickness 'b' of each book is a constant value X.

[0038] The lifting unit 110 is designed to ensure that the books to be processed can reach the target height so that the processing unit and the page information acquisition unit can process them.

[0039] The principle of the book layer conveying device 100 in this application is as follows:

[0040] The books with collected thickness data are transmitted to the fixed transmission part 120 through a transmission device (a roller conveying line, a belt conveying line or a strip conveyor, etc.), at this time, the lifting part 110 is located at the initial position, that is, the height of the bearing platform of the lifting part 110 is less than or equal to the height of the transmission platform of the fixed transmission part 120, so that the books transmitted to the fixed transmission part 120 will be continuously transmitted along the preset route under the action of the fixed transmission part 120; after the photoelectric sensor arranged on the lifting part 110 or the fixed transmission part 120 detects that the book has completely entered the lifting part 110, the lifting part 110 will be raised by a preset distance according to the thickness of the book, so that the height of the upper surface of the book reaches the target height; at this time, if the position of the book on the lifting part 110 has reached the action position of each mechanism of the processing unit, the lifting part 110 can only bear the book as a placing platform of the book to facilitate the processing of the book; if the position of the book on the lifting part 110 has not reached the action position of each mechanism of the processing unit, the lifting part 110 needs to have a transmission function on the premise of bearing the book to ensure that the book on the lifting part 110 can be transmitted to the action position of each mechanism of the processing unit.

[0041] After the books are processed by the processing unit, the lifting part 110 drives the processed books to move downward to the initial position, and the processed books can continue to be transmitted under the action of the fixed transmission part 120 to enter the next processing procedure.

[0042] The present application improves the processing process of the existing processing system, changes the downward movement of each mechanism of the existing processing system to a mode in which the use height of each mechanism is relatively fixed, adds the lifting part 110, the lifting part 110 can automatically adjust the rising height according to books with different thicknesses, so that the height of the upper surface of the books with any thickness on the lifting part 110 can be at the target height position, so as to facilitate the processing of the books by the processing unit and the page information acquisition unit; even if each scanning member of the page information acquisition unit is relatively fixedly arranged with the fixed transmission part 120, the problem of acquisition failure of the page information acquisition unit caused by the change of the thickness of the books can also be avoided, so that the processing device of the present application can process books with different thicknesses.

[0043] In addition, after the bearing platform of the lifting part 110 and the transmission platform of the fixed transmission part 120 are separated, the fixed transmission part 120 can also transmit subsequent books, the subsequent books can be processed by the subsequent lifting part 110 and the processing unit and the page information acquisition unit cooperating with the lifting part 110 after reaching the position of the other lifting part 110 in the transmission direction, so that the processing device of the present application can process multiple books on one transmission path at the same time, thereby increasing the processing efficiency.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, the lifting part 110 comprises a plurality of first rollers 111 arranged horizontally side by side and a lifting frame 112 for mounting the plurality of first rollers 111, the lifting frame 112 moves up and down to drive the respective first rollers 111 to move up and down, and at least part of the first rollers 111 are rotatably arranged on the lifting frame 112 for carrying and conveying the books.

[0045] The lifting part 110 as a whole needs to carry the books or can convey the books during the process of carrying the books. In the present application, considering the accurate positioning of the books on the lifting part 110, the lifting part 110 is arranged to be able to carry the books and also convey the books. To achieve this purpose, the lifting part 110 can be a conventional roller conveying line, a belt conveying line or a strip conveyor, etc. However, the cooperation relationship between the lifting part 110 and the fixed conveying part 120 when the lifting part 110 is located at the initial position also needs to be considered. Therefore, the lifting part 110 in the present application adopts a structure similar to the roller conveying line.

[0046] Specifically, as shown in Figure 8 、 9 , in the present embodiment, the lifting part 110 comprises a plurality of first rollers 111 arranged at intervals, the arrangement direction of the plurality of first rollers 111 is the same as the conveying direction of the books on the fixed conveying part 120, and the plurality of first rollers 111 constitute the carrying platform of the lifting part 110. Both ends of each first roller 111 are fixed on the lifting frame 112 respectively, and each first roller 111 can at least partially roll autonomously. As shown in Figure 9 、 10 , the lifting frame 112 comprises a number of supports 1120 equal to the number of first rollers 111 and a mounting base 1122 arranged below the supports 1120, each support 1120 is composed of two oppositely arranged vertical rods 1121, and both ends of each first roller 111 are rotatably connected to the corresponding two vertical rods 1121 through bearings. Each support 1120 is slidably arranged on the fixed conveying part 120 by penetrating the fixed conveying part 120, and the mounting base 1122 is located below the conveying platform of the fixed conveying part 120. The mounting base 1122 is connected with a lifting device 130, and the lifting device 130 drives the mounting base 1122, each support 1120 and each first roller 111 to move up and down.

[0047] The lifting device 130 can adopt the existing servo cylinder drive, trapezoidal screw transmission mechanism, linear slide drive, etc., which can all realize the up and down movement of the carrying platform of the lifting part 110. In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 、 9As shown in Figure 10, the lifting device 130 includes a lifting servo motor 132, a lifting screw 131, and a lifting seat threadedly connected to the lifting screw 131. The lifting servo motor 132 is fixed to the base plate 18 and connected to the lower end of the lifting screw 131. The lifting screw 131 is vertically positioned, and the lifting seat is fixed to the bottom of the mounting base 1122. After the lifting servo motor 132 starts, it drives the lifting screw 131 to rotate, thereby driving the lifting seat, the supports 1120 of the mounting base 1122, and the first rollers 111 to move up and down to meet the practical needs of the entire lifting unit 110. During use, multiple sliding rods 133 can be installed between the base plate 18 and the lifting seat to limit the vertical movement of the lifting seat, ensuring that the lifting seat rises and falls in a preset direction.

[0048] To enable at least a portion of the first roller 111 to rotate autonomously, this application also includes a rotating assembly connected to the mounting base 1122. For example... Figure 8 , 9 As shown in Figure 10, the rotating assembly includes a drive component and multiple rotating components, the number of which is the same as the number of the first roller 111 that needs to rotate autonomously. Figure 8 , 9 As shown in Figure 10, in this embodiment, multiple first rollers 111 near the end of the book transport can rotate autonomously. Each rotating component includes a first pulley, a second pulley, and a first transmission belt 113 sleeved on the first pulley and the second pulley. The first pulley is coaxially arranged with the corresponding first roller 111, and the second pulley is connected to the driving component. The driving component includes a drive servo motor 114, a drive pulley, and multiple linkage components in the same number as the rotating components. Each linkage component includes a rotating shaft and at least one rotating pulley 115 disposed on the rotating shaft. Each rotating shaft must rotate in the same direction. Therefore, multiple rotating pulleys 115 are provided on some rotating shafts. Two rotating pulleys 115 located on two adjacent rotating shafts are connected by a rotating transmission belt, and one rotating pulley 115 on any rotating shaft is connected to the drive pulley by a belt. When the drive servo motor 114 is started, it can drive multiple rotating shafts to rotate in the same direction, thereby driving each first roller 111 to rotate in a preset direction and transporting the books on each first roller 111.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, the fixed transmission unit 120 includes a plurality of second rollers 121 arranged horizontally side by side and a mounting frame 122 for mounting the plurality of second rollers 121. The projections of each first roller 111 and the projections of each second roller 121 are arranged alternately in sequence. Each second roller 121 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 122 for transmitting books.

[0050] The main function of the fixed conveying part 120 is to convey books and facilitate the up and down movement of the lifting part 110, and to ensure that the height of the lifting platform of the lifting part 110 is lower than or equal to the conveying platform of the fixed conveying part 120. In combination with the structure of the lifting part 110, as shown in FIGS. Figure 8 、 9 10, in this embodiment, the overall structure of the fixed conveying part 120 adopts a structure similar to a roller conveying line. Specifically, the fixed conveying part 120 includes a plurality of second rollers 121 arranged at intervals. The arrangement direction of each second roller 121 is the same as that of each first roller 111, and each support 1120 is located between two adjacent second rollers 121, so that the projection of each first roller 111 and the projection of each second roller 121 are arranged in turn. The second rollers 121 arranged at intervals provide a space for the up and down movement of the first rollers 111, so that the height of the lifting platform formed by the first rollers 111 is lower than or equal to the height of the conveying platform formed by the second rollers 121.

[0051] The mounting frame 122 of the fixed conveying part 120 is used to rotate and install each second roller 121. The structure of the mounting frame 122 and the driving mode of each second roller 121 are not described herein. The overall structure of the fixed conveying part 120 is the same as the driving mode of the roller conveying line in the prior art. The application only limits the mounting mode of the lifting part 110 and each second roller 121 of the fixed conveying part 120. As can be seen from the drawings, the lifting platform of the lifting part 110 can be lifted according to the use requirements. After the lifting part 110 is lifted, the mounting position of the fixed conveying part 120 does not change, and the rotation of each second roller 121 is not limited, and other books can continue to be conveyed, so that the book layer conveying device 100 of the application is transformed into a double-layer conveying mechanism, and the conveying efficiency and processing efficiency of the books are improved.

[0052] In some embodiments of the application, at least one book end limiting mechanism 15 is included, which is the same as the number of the lifting part 110. The book end limiting mechanism 15 is used to limit the end position of the book conveying direction on the lifting part 110.

[0053] It can be understood that the position of the book on the lifting part 110 before the lifting part 110 is lifted can be detected by the photoelectric sensor. In order to facilitate the operation of the book on the lifting part 110 after it is lifted to the corresponding height, the processing unit can operate the book, and it is also necessary to ensure that the book at the height enters the action range of the processing unit. Therefore, the application also provides a book end limiting mechanism 15 to ensure that the end of the book at the preset height is also located at the corresponding position, so as to facilitate the operation of the processing unit.

[0054] There are two ways to limit the position of the book end on the lifting part 110. One is that the book end limiting mechanism 15 is provided with a sensor on the fixed conveying part 120 or the lifting part 110, which is used to sense whether the book end is in place. After the book is in place, the lifting part 110 simply bears the book, the lifting part 110 rises, the book rises, and the book does not move along the conveying direction. After the book rises to the target height, the book automatically enters the operating position of the processing unit.

[0055] The second is that the book end limiting mechanism 15 is a sensor fixed at the target height. The fixed conveying part 120 conveys the book. After the sensor detects that the book is located at the corresponding position of the lifting part 110, the lifting part 110 rises to drive the book to the target height. At this time, the lifting part 110 not only bears the book but also conveys the book. Until the book is conveyed to the position of the book end limiting mechanism 15 at the target height, indicating that the end position of the book is in place, the processing unit can operate the book.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, the book end limiting mechanism 15 is arranged above the lifting part 110. The book conveyed on the lifting part 110 contacts the book end limiting mechanism 15, and the lifting part 110 stops driving the book.

[0057] The book end limiting mechanism 15 can use a photoelectric sensor or a contact sensor. Since the book end limiting mechanism 15 needs to limit the end position of the book, the contact sensor is more optimal. Therefore, the book end limiting mechanism 15 needs to be arranged in the conveying direction of the book. If the book end limiting mechanism 15 is connected with the lifting part 110 or the fixed conveying part 120, it will affect the conveying of the whole book. Therefore, the book end limiting mechanism 15 is arranged above the lifting part 110 and close to the target height position in the present application.

[0058] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 、 4 , 5, the book end limiting mechanism 15 is a contact sensor. The book end limiting mechanism 15 is fixed on the top assembly frame. The contact sensor is arranged in front of the conveying direction of the book. The contact part of the contact sensor is a limiting rod 151 which is inclined upward towards the book. In use, when the book contacts the limiting rod 151 under the conveying action of each first roller 111 of the lifting part 110, the book end limiting mechanism 15 detects that the end position of the book is in place. At this time, each first roller 111 of the lifting part 110 stops rotating, and each mechanism of the processing unit can act.

[0059] In the lifting process of the lifting part 110, in order to avoid lifting failure, a position sensor can be arranged above the lifting part 110, the position sensor is fixed with the front end assembly frame 13, according to the up-down moving range of the lifting part 110, the sensing range of the position sensor is arranged, which is used to detect that the lifting part 110 has completed the lifting action in use, and then the end position of the book is sensed by the book end position limiting mechanism 15, to determine that the book has reached the action range of the processing unit, facilitating the action of the processing unit.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, each processing unit includes a book edge alignment mechanism 16, a hinge mechanism, a page bearing platform 200, a page turning mechanism 300, a page pushing mechanism 400, a page pressing mechanism 700 and a blowing mechanism. The structures of the above-mentioned mechanisms can be arranged according to the mechanisms in the book continuous page turning processing system (CN202210394960.5) in the prior art. The present application is described for the improved structure, and the same structure in the prior art will not be described in detail.

[0061] As shown in Figure 1 , 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6, the page bearing platform 200 is located above the lifting part 110 and is inclined or horizontally arranged, which is used to place the turned pages; the page bearing platform 200 is a fixed plate structure, the included angle between the page bearing platform 200 and the horizontal plane is 90°-180°, and the included angle is preferably 150°, a vertical pressing plate is arranged below the inclined page bearing platform 200, the pressing plate is located on one side of the lifting part 110 in the transmission direction and is arranged in close contact with or with a gap from each vertical rod 1121 on the side of the lifting part 110, the pressing plate can limit the movement of the book along the vertical direction of the transmission direction, facilitating the operation of the book edge alignment mechanism 16 on the book.

[0062] The book edge alignment mechanism 16 and the page bearing platform 200 are respectively located on both sides of the lifting part 110 in the transmission direction, the book edge alignment mechanism 16 is used to align the position of the book and push the book spine to the side edge of the page bearing platform 200. The book edge alignment mechanism 16 can be located above the highest position of the lifting part 110, which is used to align the book, and the requirement of alignment is that the plane where the book spine is located is parallel to the transmission direction of the book. The book edge alignment mechanism 16 can adopt a single-sided shaping plate and a single-sided shaping power mechanism for driving the single-sided shaping plate to move vertically to the transmission direction as in patent CN202022190172.3. The book edge alignment mechanism 16 can also adopt the structure as in patent CN202210394960.5, and the purpose is to push the book mouth after the book is lifted to the target height and the end of the book reaches the target position, to ensure that the book spine can contact or be arranged with a gap from the page bearing platform 200 (pressing plate) to reach the preset position.

[0063] As Figure 6 、 7 shown, in this embodiment, the book edge returning mechanism 16 includes a moving rod 162, a plurality of moving claws 163 arranged on the moving rod 162, and a moving assembly 161 for driving the moving rod 162, wherein the moving rod 162 is arranged along the transmission direction of the book, each moving claw 163 is arranged at intervals along the length direction of the moving rod 162, the moving claw 163 is vertically arranged, and the projection of each moving claw 163 is located between the gap between the two adjacent first rollers 111; the moving assembly 161 can adopt a mechanism that can realize linear motion, such as an electric push rod, an air push rod, a hydraulic push rod, a lead screw transmission mechanism, etc., for driving the moving rod 162 to move reciprocally along the vertical direction of the book transmission, in this embodiment, the moving assembly 161 adopts a lead screw transmission mechanism. In use, after the book height and the book end position are in place, the book edge returning mechanism 16 acts to move the spine of the book to the corresponding position.

[0064] After the book spine is in place, the book can be turned in theory by using the page turning mechanism 300, in order to avoid the book pages from sticking during the turning process, the application also provides a blowing mechanism for avoiding the book pages from sticking. The blowing device of the application can adopt the structure of the blowing device and the anti-sticking page mechanism in the patent No. CN202210394960.5.

[0065] As Figure 4 、 5 , 6, 7 shown, in this embodiment, the blowing mechanism includes a side blowing assembly and an end blowing assembly 14, the end blowing assembly is adjacent to the installation position of the book end limiting mechanism 15, and is vertically arranged to the book transmission direction, the end blowing assembly includes a main channel 142, the main channel 142 is fixed with a top assembly frame, the main channel 142 is connected with a blower 141, a plurality of end blowing channels 1421 are arranged on the main channel 142 and face the book end, the plurality of end blowing channels 1421 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction of the book transmission, when the book end limiting mechanism 15 detects the position of the book end, the controller can control the blower 141 to work while controlling each first roller 111 to stop rotating, and the end of the book is blown.

[0066] In order to avoid sticking of each page of the book mouth position of the book, the application also has a side blowing assembly, which is installed in cooperation with the book edge returning mechanism 16. A side mounting rack 10 is arranged on the transmission side of the lifting part 110. A linear driving device 12, such as an electric push rod, a gas push rod, a hydraulic push rod, a screw rod transmission mechanism, a synchronous linear module, etc., is fixed on the side mounting rack 10. In this embodiment, the linear driving device 12 is a synchronous linear module. The sliding seat 1201 of the synchronous linear module adopts a split structure. The sliding seat 1201 is slidably arranged on the side mounting rack 10. The sliding seat 1201 includes a first connecting seat 1212 and a second connecting seat 1211. The first connecting seat 1212 and the second connecting seat 1211 are slidably connected and provided with at least one buffer spring. The first connecting seat 1212 is fixedly connected with the moving assembly 161 of the book edge returning mechanism 16. At the same time, the side blowing assembly is connected with the first connecting seat 1212.

[0067] As shown in Figure 6 、 7 , the side blowing assembly includes a plurality of side air outlet channels 171. Each side air outlet channel 171 is uniformly arranged along the book transmission direction. Each side air outlet channel 171 is fixed with the first connecting seat 1212. Each side air outlet channel 171 is communicated with an air pipe. After the sliding seat 1201 moves to the corresponding position, the air pipe is ventilated, and the side air outlet channel 171 blows the book mouth.

[0068] The structure of the sliding seat 1201 can achieve the purpose of buffering. During use, the first connecting seat 1212 and the second connecting seat 1211 move towards the book. At the same time, the moving rod 162 extends a certain length (the moving claw 163 exceeds the air outlet side wall of the side air outlet channel 171) under the action of the moving assembly 161. The moving claw 163 preferentially contacts the book mouth position of the book to adjust the position of the book. At this time, even if the book has different widths, since the first connecting seat 1212 and the second connecting seat 1211 are elastically slidably connected, the moving claw 163 is elastically contacted with the book, which can achieve the purpose of buffering and avoid damaging the book. At the same time, a buffer contact layer can be arranged on the moving claw 163 to further avoid damage of the book by the side air outlet channel 171. After the book spine is in place, since the moving claw 163 extends out of the side air outlet channel 171, there is a gap between the book and the side air outlet channel 171. At this time, the air pipe is communicated, the side air outlet channel 171 blows air to the book, which achieves the purpose of blowing air to the side of the book and avoids sticking of each page of the book.

[0069] After the blowing mechanism pre-processes the book, the page turning mechanism 300 can perform the page turning operation. The page turning mechanism 300 is located above the lifting part 110 and is used to grab and turn the pages of the book. In fact, it is the action assembly of the page turning mechanism 300 that is located above the book in the lifting part 110. The page turning mechanism 300 can be the suction cup in patent CN202121196076.8 and the vertical driving mechanism that drives the suction cup to move up and down. The main function is to grab the page by the suction cup. After the page is grabbed, the vertical driving mechanism acts, and then cooperates with other mechanisms to realize the page turning operation. In this application, the page turning mechanism 300 adopts the same structure in patent CN202210394960.5, mainly including a page turning suction cup assembly 310 and a multi-axis mechanical arm for driving the page turning suction cup assembly 310 to act. The bottom of the multi-axis mechanical arm is fixed on the side where the page carrying platform 200 is located, and the page turning suction cup assembly 310 is arranged at the end of the multi-axis mechanical arm. The action principle of the multi-axis mechanical arm and the page turning suction cup is not described here. It is only necessary to clarify that the two can cooperate to turn a corner of the page by a certain angle after sucking the corner of the page.

[0070] During the use of the page turning mechanism 300, the page pushing mechanism 400 needs to be used in cooperation. According to the positional relationship, the page pushing mechanism 400 is installed close to the book edge alignment mechanism 16, that is, it is arranged opposite to the page carrying platform 200. Therefore, the action of the page pushing mechanism 400 can be used to push the page to the page carrying platform 200. The page pushing mechanism 400 is used in cooperation with the page turning mechanism 300. After the page turning mechanism 300 turns the page by a certain angle, the page pushing mechanism 400 acts to push the turned page to the page carrying platform 200. The page pushing mechanism 400 can adopt the structure in patent CN202121196076.8. The first page turning rod is driven by the linear motion unit to extend below the page. After the suction cup is depressurized, it is separated from the top page. The first page turning rod pushes the turned top page to the page carrying platform 2004 to completely open the page and make the page fall on the page carrying platform 200. The page pushing mechanism 400 can also adopt the structure in patent CN202210394960.5, mainly including a page pushing rod 410 and a page pushing driving device. The page pushing driving device drives the page pushing rod 410 to move, so that the page pushing rod 410 enters below the turned page. At this time, the page turning suction cup assembly 310 releases the suction force, and the page pushing rod 410 acts to move the page to the page carrying platform 200.

[0071] As Figure 1 , 2, 3, 4, and the pushing page mechanism 400 also includes a pushing page rod 410 and a pushing page driving device in the embodiment, wherein the pushing page driving device is a linear driving device 12, such as an electric push rod, a gas push rod, a hydraulic push rod, a screw transmission mechanism, a synchronous linear module, etc. The pushing page driving device drives the pushing page rod 410 to reciprocate linearly in the inclined direction towards the book page. The pushing page mechanism 400 of the embodiment can be more suitable for book pages of different widths, because when the page turning mechanism 300 fixes the angle of the book page opened in the horizontal direction, no matter how the width of the book page changes, the pushing page rod 410 can extend into the opened book page below during the inclined downward movement, and push the book page towards the book page carrying platform 200.

[0072] After the pushing page mechanism 400 pushes the book page against the book page carrying platform 200, it needs to be fixed on the book page carrying platform 200 by the pressing page mechanism 700, so as to facilitate the page turning mechanism 300 to turn the subsequent book page, and / or to facilitate the book page information acquisition unit to acquire the information on the book page, and / or to facilitate other processing to process the book page. The pressing page mechanism 700 in the application adopts a structure similar to that in patent CN202210394960.5, which includes a first pressing page piece 710 and two second pressing page pieces 720, and the structure and driving mechanism of the first pressing page piece 710 / second pressing page piece 720 are the same as those in the patent, and the principle thereof will not be described herein.

[0073] After the marking processing of the book page is completed, the cover turned on the book page carrying platform 200 needs to be closed, at this time, a hinge mechanism is needed to move the book page on the book page carrying platform 200 towards the book page on the lifting part 110. The hinge mechanism of the application adopts the same structure as in patent CN202210394960.5, and uses the operation of the telescopic driving and connecting rod to make the hinge lever 11 extend or be accommodated on the book page carrying platform 200, which can facilitate the placement of the book page by the book page carrying platform 200, and also can facilitate the closure of the processed cover with other parts of the book to complete the processing operation of the book. The specific structure and principle are referred to the contents recorded in the patent, and will not be described herein.

[0074] It also includes a folding page recognition and processing mechanism 900, which is mainly used to turn over the folding page of the cover, so as to facilitate the gluing of the folding page inside by the processing mechanism 800, so as to perform the gluing and fixing operation on the inside of the folding page. The folding page recognition and processing mechanism 900 of the application adopts the structure in patent CN202210394960.5, and uses the cooperation of the folding page suction cup assembly 910, the folding page driving device and other components to realize the turning over operation of the folding page. The specific structure and principle are referred to the contents recorded in the patent, and will not be described herein.

[0075] After the book is turned over, the book can also be processed, and the processing includes labeling, stamping, gluing and other operations. This process needs to use the processing mechanism 800. The processing mechanism 800 adopts the structure in the patent CN202210394960.5, mainly including a processing head and a multi-axis mechanical arm. The processing head can grab stamps, glue sticks, etc. The multi-axis mechanical arm drives the processing head to act, realizing the processing operation of the book page.

[0076] In the book page processing process, feedback verification can also be performed by the book page information acquisition unit, or the book page information acquisition unit can be used alone to acquire each book page information. The specific principle is the same as the book page information acquisition unit in the patent CN202210394960.5. When the book page information acquisition unit acquires the information of the target book page, a scanning device needs to be used. The common scanning device is a high-definition camera. In the prior art (CN202210394960.5), the scanning device in the book page information acquisition process mainly includes two scanning devices. One is fixed above the book processing station and is used to scan the information on the cover and the upper side of the inner page. The other scanning device is located near the book edge alignment mechanism 16 and is mainly used to scan the information on the other side (lower side) of the turned-over book page in the inclined direction. However, part of the cover has a fold, and part of the book information is recorded on the fold. This part of the information page needs to be scanned to judge or record the book information. However, the existing technology cannot scan the information recorded on the fold. Therefore, the scanning device of the book page information acquisition unit of the present application includes a first scanning piece 620, a second scanning piece 630 and a third scanning piece 610. The first scanning piece 620 is located above the lifting part 110 and is fixedly installed opposite the fixed transmission part 120. The first scanning piece 620 is used to acquire the information on the horizontally arranged book page of the book. The first scanning piece 620 is fixed on the first mounting position 510 of the mounting plate 500 in the figure. The second scanning piece 630 and the book page bearing platform 200 are respectively located on both sides of the lifting part 110 and are fixedly installed opposite the fixed transmission part 120. The second scanning piece 630 is used to acquire the information on the vertically arranged book page of the book. The second scanning piece 630 is fixed on the second mounting position 1001 of the side edge mounting bracket 10 in the figure. The third scanning piece 610 is vertically arranged with the book page bearing platform 200 and is fixedly installed opposite the fixed transmission part 120. The third scanning piece 610 is used to acquire the information on the turned-over book page. The third scanning piece 610 is fixed on the mounting plate 500 in the figure. The three scanning devices of the book page information acquisition unit can scan the information at each position of the book page, avoiding the problem of missing information recording.
