[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0024] Example

[0025] Reference Figures 1-5This embodiment of the present invention provides a conveying and aligning device, including a side plate 1. The device is characterized in that: a fifth fixing plate 21 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the side plate 1; a first cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the fifth fixing plate 21; the cylinder head of the first cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to a cylinder positioning plate 23; a first optical axis 25 is movably installed on the outer side of the cylinder positioning plate 23; a second cylinder 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the cylinder positioning plate 23; and a first book-pushing plate 32 is fixedly connected to the cylinder head of the second cylinder 13.

[0026] The first cylinder 12 is securely mounted on the side plate 1 by the fifth fixing plate 21. The sliding cooperation between the cylinder positioning plate 23 and the first optical axis 25 ensures the linear motion accuracy of the book pushing mechanism and effectively reduces sway. The second cylinder 13 drives the first book pushing plate 32 to push back and forth. The dual cylinders formed by the first cylinder 12 and the second cylinder 13 work together to achieve both the lifting and positioning of books and magazines and to complete the precise pushing, thereby improving the repetitive positioning accuracy of the stacking operation and significantly improving the neatness of the stacked books and magazines.

[0027] Specifically, a single-axis servo module 24 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the side plate 1, and a non-powered book-holding component 20 is fixedly connected to the slider of the single-axis servo module 24. A second fixing block 18 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the side plate 1 by screws.

[0028] Among them, the single-axis servo module 24 drives the unpowered book-carrying component 20 to rise and fall vertically through the slider. The closed-loop control of the servo motor can precisely adjust the lifting height and form a linkage with the lifting action of the first cylinder 12. The screw connection of the second fixing block 18 facilitates modular disassembly and assembly, which not only ensures structural strength but also facilitates quick adjustment of the book-carrying height during maintenance, adapting to the conveying needs of books and periodicals of different thicknesses.

[0029] Furthermore, a third fixing block 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the side plate 1, a connecting plate 10 is fixedly installed on the third fixing block 19, a first fixing block 11 is installed on the other side of the connecting plate 10, a third fixing plate 16 and a fourth fixing plate 17 that are parallel to each other are fixedly connected to the side extension end of the connecting plate 10, and a third optical axis 34 is horizontally mounted between the third fixing plate 16 and the fourth fixing plate 17.

[0030] The connecting plate 10 forms a triangular support structure through the first fixing block 11 and the third fixing block 19, which greatly enhances the overall rigidity. The third fixing plate 16 and the fourth fixing plate 17 are arranged in parallel to provide a high-precision installation reference for the third optical axis 34, so that the side support 2 can achieve smooth lateral sliding through the second linear bearing 35. The frictional resistance is reduced by 60% during the adjustment process, ensuring the stability of the side positioning of the book.

[0031] Preferably, a second linear bearing 35 is slidably mounted on the third optical axis 34, the second linear bearing 35 is fixedly connected to the side support 2, a photoelectric bracket 3 is fixedly mounted on the side support 2, and a photoelectric module 4 is fixedly mounted on the photoelectric bracket 3.

[0032] The photoelectric module 4 is fixed to the side support 2 via the photoelectric bracket 3, which can detect the position of the book in real time and trigger subsequent actions. The cooperation between the second linear bearing 35 and the third optical axis 34 makes the lateral movement resistance of the side support 2 ≤5N. With the help of the adjustment device, the width of the book can be adaptively adjusted to accommodate different sizes of books in the range of 80-300mm, reducing manual intervention.

[0033] Furthermore, a second optical axis 28 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the side support 2. Four sets of first linear bearings 33 are slidably installed on the second optical axis 28. The first linear bearings 33 are fixedly connected to the first book stop plate 26. Two sets of mini cylinders 22 are fixedly installed on the second optical axis 28 through the first cylinder support 27. The cylinder head of the mini cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the first book stop plate 26. The two sets of mini cylinders 22 are installed in opposite directions to each other.

[0034] Among them, the four sets of first linear bearings 33 and second optical shafts 28 form a dual guiding system to ensure the synchronous accuracy of the opening and closing movement of the first book baffle 26. The mini cylinder 22 is fixed by the first cylinder support 27. Its compact structure can complete the opening and closing of the book baffle in 0.3 seconds. With the help of photoelectric signals, it can quickly release after alignment, thus improving the conveying efficiency.

[0035] Furthermore, a side plate 7 is fixedly connected to the third fixing plate 16 and the fourth fixing plate 17. The side plate 7 is fixedly connected to the first fixing plate 5. A first sheet metal cover 6 is fixedly installed on the side plate 7. A second fixing plate 8 is fixedly connected to the third fixing plate 16. A reduction motor 9 is fixedly installed on the second fixing plate 8. A first motor pulley 31 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the reduction motor 9. A roller module 15 is fixedly installed on the side plate 7. The first motor pulley 31 and the roller module 15 are connected by a first belt 30. The first belt 30 is tensioned by a tensioning assembly 29. A second sheet metal cover 14 is provided between the side plate 1 and the side plate 7.

[0036] The geared motor 9 drives the roller module 15 via the first belt 30. Its clearance fit design allows the rollers to rotate freely during transport, forming zero-pressure accumulation and transport, thus preventing scratches on the surface of the books and magazines. The first sheet metal cover 6 and the second sheet metal cover 14 provide fully enclosed protection for the transmission components. At the same time, the tensioning component 29 ensures the transmission efficiency of the first belt 30. The noise of the entire system is controlled below 60dB, which meets the requirements of the workshop environment.

[0037] In use, the books are first conveyed to the unpowered book support assembly 20 by the roller module 15. The single-axis servo module 24 automatically adjusts the lifting height according to the thickness of the books. After the photoelectric module 4 detects the position, the first cylinder 12 drives the cylinder positioning plate 23 to descend to the working position, and the second cylinder 13 drives the first book pusher 32 to perform horizontal alignment. At the same time, the side support 2 adaptively adjusts to the width of the books along the third optical axis 34, and the mini cylinder 22 controls the first book stop plate 26 to complete the side positioning. After alignment is completed, the book stop plate is quickly released, and the geared motor 9 drives the roller module 15 to convey the neatly stacked books to the next work station. The whole process achieves fully automatic and precise control.

[0038] In summary, the modular design enables efficient collaborative operation of book and magazine delivery, positioning, and alignment. The side plate 1 serves as the main frame, and together with the dual drive system consisting of the first cylinder 12, the second cylinder 13, the first optical axis 25, and the third optical axis 34, it ensures high-precision linear motion of the book pushing mechanism. The single-axis servo module 24 and the unpowered book support component 20 realize intelligent lifting and adjustment of the book stack. The photoelectric module 4 and the mini cylinder 22 work together to control the rapid opening and closing of the first book stop plate 26. Combined with the zero-pressure delivery of the roller module 15 and the noise reduction and protection of the first sheet metal cover 6 and the second sheet metal cover 14, an automated system with adaptive width adjustment of 80-300mm and low friction characteristics is formed, which improves the neatness of book and magazine stacking by 40% while meeting the workshop noise standard of less than 60dB.
