[0031] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses a book alternating stacking machine, including a frame 10 and a feeding mechanism 20 and a flipping mechanism 30 disposed on the frame 10.
[0032] The material turning mechanism 30 has a base 31 and a first driving member 32 that drives the base 31 to rotate.
[0033] The base 31 is provided with a flipping plate 33, a baffle plate 34 and a second driving component 35 that can rotate with the base 31.
[0034] The second driving member 35 can drive the baffle plate 34 to move relative to the flipping plate 33. The flipping plate 33 is located on one side above the baffle plate 34, and a receiving groove 11 is provided on one side below the baffle plate 34. The baffle plate 34 can block and release the book 70 into the receiving groove 11.
[0035] The booklet 70 output by the feeding mechanism 20 passes through the flipping plate 33 and the baffle plate 34 in sequence and falls directly into the receiving groove 11. Alternatively, the booklet 70 is flipped by the cooperation of the flipping plate 33 and the baffle plate 34 and falls into the receiving groove 11, so that the booklet 70 is stacked alternately in the receiving groove 11 in a flat position. The coil 71 segments on the two alternately stacked booklets 70 are arranged opposite each other.
[0036] The feeding mechanism 20 has a conveyor belt 21, and two first guide plates 22 spaced apart are provided above the conveyor belt 21. The two first guide plates 22 and the conveyor belt 21 form a guide channel 23 for the movement of the book 70. A sensor for sensing the book 70 is provided above or beside the guide channel 23. When the sensor senses the book 70, the flipping mechanism 30 acts. The width of the guide channel 23 is adjustable. The guide channel 23 has a trumpet-shaped inlet 24. It can be understood that the feeding mechanism 20 can also adopt a platform (not shown) + material feeding assembly (not shown) configuration. The material feeding assembly moves the book 70 on the platform to the flipping mechanism 30.
[0037] The base 31 is rotatably connected to the frame 10 via a rotating shaft 36. The lower end of the tilting plate 33 is mounted on the rotating shaft 36, and the axial direction of the rotating shaft 36 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the book 70. By setting the lower end of the tilting plate 33 to be mounted on the rotating shaft 36, the tilting plate 33 has a small rotation range, occupies less space, and has a more compact structural layout when it rotates with the rotating shaft 36.
[0038] A swing member 37 is connected to the rotating shaft 36. The first driving member 32 can drive the swing member 37 to rotate so that the swing member 37 drives the rotating shaft 36 and the base 31 to rotate synchronously. Specifically, the first driving member 32 is a first cylinder. The movable joint of the first cylinder is rotatably connected to the swing member 37, and the cylinder body of the first cylinder is rotatably connected to the frame 10.
[0039] In the non-flipping state, the flipping plate 33 extends downward at an angle, and the angle between the flipping plate 33 and the horizontal plane is less than 60 degrees; by setting the flipping plate 33 to extend downward at an angle in the non-flipping state, the flipping plate 33 can easily guide the book 70 into the receiving groove 11.
[0040] A second guide plate 12 is provided on one side edge of the upper end of the receiving groove 11. The second guide plate 12 extends obliquely from bottom to top toward the flipping plate 33. In the non-flipping state, the second guide plate 12 is parallel to the flipping plate 33.
[0041] The second driving component 35 can drive the baffle seat to extend or rotate relative to the flipping plate 33. In the baffle state, the upper end of the baffle plate 34 protrudes from the upper surface of the flipping plate 33, and the plane of the baffle plate 34 is perpendicular to the plane of the flipping plate 33. Specifically, the second driving component 35 is a second cylinder, and the movable joint of the second cylinder is connected to the baffle plate 34. It can be understood that the second driving component 35 can also be a motor or a rotary cylinder, which can drive the baffle plate 34 to rotate relative to the flipping plate 33.
[0042] When the feeding mechanism 20 outputs the booklet 70 to the flipping mechanism 30, the coil 71 on each booklet 70 is in the same position. During operation, the first booklet 70 falls directly into the receiving groove 11, the second booklet 70 is flipped and falls into the receiving groove 11, the third booklet 70 falls directly into the receiving groove 11, and so on, to achieve alternating stacking.
[0043] The frame 10 is provided with a pushing mechanism 40, which can push out the alternatingly stacked booklets 70 in the receiving groove 11. Specifically, the pushing mechanism 40 has a pushing component 41 and a third driving component 42. The third driving component 42 can drive the pushing component 41 to push out the alternatingly stacked booklets 70 in the receiving groove 11. The pushing component 41 can be a pushing plate, and the third driving component 42 can be a cylinder.
[0044] The pushing mechanism 40 is provided with a non-powered conveyor belt 13 on one side, and one end of the non-powered conveyor belt 13 extends to the receiving groove 11. The pushing mechanism 40 pushes the alternatingly stacked booklets 70 in the receiving groove 11 onto the non-powered conveyor belt 13.
[0045] The bottom of the receiving groove 11 is open, and a first material support mechanism 50 is provided below the receiving groove 11. The first material support mechanism 50 has a first material support member 51 and a fourth driving member 52. The first material support member 51 can support alternately stacked books 70, and the fourth driving member 52 can drive the first material support member 51 to move intermittently downward. Specifically, the first material support member 51 can be a pallet. The fourth driving member 52 has a rack 521 and a stepper motor 522. The rack extends vertically, and the rack 521 is connected to the bottom plate. The stepper motor 522 has a gear on its drive shaft that meshes with the rack 521. It is understood that the fourth drive member 52 can also be driven by a synchronous belt + stepper motor 522 or a lead screw + stepper motor 522. By setting a first material support mechanism 50 consisting of a first material support member 51 and a fourth drive member 52, when stacking a booklet 70, the fourth drive member 52 drives the first material support member 51 to move down intermittently, thereby increasing the number of booklets 70 stacked alternately and preventing the booklets 70 from falling out of the receiving groove 11 due to excessive accumulation.
[0046] A second material support mechanism 60 is provided on one side of the receiving groove 11. The second material support mechanism 60 has a second material support member 61 and a fifth driving member 62. The fifth driving member 62 can drive the second material support member 61 to extend into or out of the receiving groove 11. The second material support member 61 extends into the receiving groove 11 to temporarily support the subsequently stacked booklets 70, so that the pushing mechanism 40 can push out the booklets 70 that are alternately stacked on the first material support member 51, thereby realizing non-stop production. Specifically, the second material support member 61 can be a number of horizontally spaced support rods, and the fifth driving member 62 can be a cylinder.
[0047] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The feeding mechanism 20 conveys the booklet 70 through the guide channel 23, the flipping plate 33, and the baffle plate 34 in sequence;
[0048] The first booklet 70 falls directly into the receiving groove 11 and is supported on the first material support 51. The fourth driving member 52 drives the first material support 51 to move down by the height of one booklet 70.
[0049] The second driving component 35 drives the baffle plate 34 to extend upward, and the baffle plate 34 prevents the second booklet 70 from sliding down. The first driving component 32 drives the base 31 to flip. The base 31 drives the flipping plate 33, the baffle plate 34, the second driving component 35, and the second booklet 70 to flip synchronously. After the second booklet 70 flips, it falls into the receiving groove 11. The first supporting component 51 moves down again by the height of one booklet 70 until the number of alternating stacks of booklets 70 reaches ten.
[0050] The fifth driving component 62 drives the second material support component 61 to extend into the receiving groove 11, and the second material support component 61 temporarily supports the subsequently stacked book 70.
[0051] The third drive member 42 drives the pusher member 41 to move toward the unpowered conveyor belt 13. The pusher member 41 pushes the alternately stacked booklets 70 from the first support member 51 onto the unpowered conveyor belt 13. Then the pusher member 41 resets, and the first support member 51 moves up and resets. Then the second support member 61 exits the receiving groove 11 and temporarily supports the booklets 70 as they fall and support the first support member 51.
[0052] In summary, this utility model, by setting up a feeding mechanism 20 and a flipping mechanism 30, wherein the flipping mechanism 30 has a base 31 and a first driving member 32 for driving the base 31 to rotate, and a flipping plate 33, a baffle plate 34, and a second driving member 35 that can rotate with the base 31 are set on the base 31, the second driving member 35 can drive the baffle plate 34 to move relative to the flipping plate 33. During operation, the first booklet 70 output by the feeding mechanism 20 passes through the flipping plate 33 and the baffle plate 34 in sequence and falls directly into the receiving groove 11. The second booklet 70 is flipped by the cooperation of the flipping plate 33 and the baffle plate 34 and falls into the receiving groove 11. The third booklet 70 falls directly into the receiving groove 11, and so on, so that the booklets 70 can be stacked alternately in the receiving groove 11 in a flat posture. The automated alternating stacking method is highly efficient and can reduce the production cost of enterprises.
[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made to the above embodiments based on the actual technical aspects of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
