Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of book classification and collection, and specifically relates to a book sorting and collection device. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technology, books come in various sizes, and even after being bundled, the size of the bundled books will vary. The most significant characteristic is that different book weights result in different book sizes. Furthermore, each bookstore will have different book specifications when placing an order, leading to variations in the size of the bundled books. Therefore, to facilitate book classification, there is an urgent need for a book transfer center with equipment that can automatically sort books based on the weight and volume of the bundles. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a book sorting and collection device that can sort books of different weights into a warehouse. The device can be changed in real time according to the daily transfer requirements, thus realizing multiple uses of a single warehouse.
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: A book sorting and collecting device includes a conveyor seat, a book conveyor belt is provided on the upper part of the conveyor seat, a sorting rack is provided corresponding to one side of the book conveyor belt, a plurality of sorting bins are arranged sequentially backward on the sorting rack, and an openable guide rail door is provided above the corresponding sorting bin. Each guide rail door is located in the same inclined plane, and each guide rail door is connected to a drive mechanism. A drive cylinder is provided corresponding to the other side of the book conveyor belt. The piston rod axis of the drive cylinder is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the book conveyor belt, and a push block is provided at the output end of the drive cylinder.
[0005] In operation, bundles of books are placed on a book conveyor belt and then driven by a cylinder to push them onto the guide rail doors for downward sliding. Based on the weight requirements of the books, the cylinder opens the corresponding guide rail door, allowing the books to enter the appropriate sorting compartment for sorting. Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: 1. It uses a pneumatic system for power output. Because it is gas-powered, it protects the books from contamination by solids, colors, etc. Different collection compartment doors can be opened by the cylinder according to different weight requirements. The cylinder pressure is set to the pressure generated by the weight of the book bundle (one-to-one). When the collection compartment door opens, the book bundle falls in. When the compartment is closed, that door serves as the guide rail for the next compartment. 2. The pneumatic control system can automatically adjust the working pressure according to the weight of the books to allow books of different weights to enter the compartment. It can be changed in real time according to daily transfer requirements (multi-purpose compartment).
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the sorting rack includes a base plate, with several support seats on the underside of the base plate. Several forward-arranged partitions are vertically arranged on the base plate, with the length direction of each partition parallel to the length direction of the book conveyor belt. The left and right sides of each partition are respectively fixed to a baffle on one side. Multiple different sorting compartments are separated by the partitions.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, three sorting bins are provided, and four partition plates are provided. A guide rail door is correspondingly provided above each of the two sorting bins closest to the book conveyor belt. The height of the guide rail doors decreases from the side closest to the book conveyor belt to the side furthest away. When the guide rail door is closed, it serves as a sliding track for the books, facilitating their sliding down the inclined surface.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, a rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the partition plate corresponding to each of the guide rail compartment doors. The rotating shaft is parallel to the length direction of the book conveyor belt. The guide rail compartment door is connected to the corresponding rotating shaft, and one end of the rotating shaft extends outward. The driving mechanism includes a driving component connected to the extended end of the rotating shaft. A mounting seat is provided on the side of the partition plate behind the sorting compartment corresponding to the guide rail compartment door. An opening and closing cylinder is hinged to the mounting seat, and the extended end of the piston rod of the opening and closing cylinder is hinged to the corresponding driving component. The opening and closing cylinder drives the driving component to swing, causing the rotating shaft to rotate and open or close the guide rail compartment door.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, both the drive cylinder and the opening / closing cylinder are connected to the air supply system. The air supply system includes an air tank. The inlet of the air tank is connected to a pneumatic pump via a primary pressure protection valve. The outlet of the air tank is connected to three parallel two-position four-way directional valves via an air supply pipeline. A secondary pressure protection valve, a gas dryer, a pressure reducing valve, and a lubricator are sequentially installed on the air supply pipeline. The two-position four-way directional valves have P, S, A, and B positions. The R and S ports are normally closed. The driving cylinder and the two opening and closing cylinders are respectively provided with inlet A1, outlet B1, inlet A2, outlet B2, and inlet A3, outlet B3. The A and B ports of the three two-position four-way directional valves are respectively connected to the inlet A1, outlet B1, inlet A2, outlet B2, and inlet A3, outlet B3 of the three cylinders. The P port of the two-position four-way directional valve is connected to the air supply pipeline. When the valve core of the two-position four-way directional valve is in the lower position, the P and B ports of the two-position four-way directional valve are open; when the valve core of the two-position four-way directional valve is in the upper position, the P and A ports of the two-position four-way directional valve are open. The secondary pressure protection valve has a cylinder slightly lower than the primary pressure protection valve, thus better protecting system components. Gas entering the storage tank after passing through the compressor contains moisture and contaminating particles; the gas dryer filters and dries the gas. Based on the operating pressure requirements of the cylinders within the system, the pressure reducing valve further reduces the pressure, at which point the pressure reducing valve pressure < secondary pressure protection valve pressure < primary pressure protection valve pressure. The lubricator adds lubricant to lubricate the control valves, cylinders, and piping accessories in the pneumatic system, protecting the system as gas enters each component. Gas enters port B2 or B3 of the opening / closing cylinder via a two-position four-way directional valve, opening the guide rail compartment door. Gas enters port A2 or A3 of the opening / closing cylinder via the same two-position four-way directional valve, closing the guide rail compartment door.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the air inlet A1, air outlet B1, air inlet A2, air outlet B2, and air inlet A3, air outlet B3 of the driving cylinder and the two opening and closing cylinders are all connected to a pressure reducing valve. The pressure reducing valve is connected to port A or port B of the corresponding two-position four-way directional valve. The output pressure of the cylinder can be adjusted according to the weight of the book. Attached Figure Description

[0015] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a book sorting and collection device includes a conveyor seat 1, a book conveyor belt 2 on the upper part of the conveyor seat 1, a sorting rack 3 corresponding to one side of the book conveyor belt 2, a plurality of sorting bins 3a arranged sequentially on the sorting rack 3, and an openable guide rail door 4 above the corresponding sorting bin 3a. Each guide rail door 4 is located in the same inclined plane and is connected to a drive mechanism. A drive cylinder 5 is provided corresponding to the other side of the book conveyor belt 2. The piston rod axis of the drive cylinder 5 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the book conveyor belt 2, and a push block 6 is provided at the output end of the drive cylinder 5.
[0016] The sorting rack 3 includes a base plate 301, with several support seats 7 on its underside. Several forward-arranged partition plates 302 are vertically mounted on the base plate 301, with the length of each partition plate 302 parallel to the length of the book conveyor belt 2. Each partition plate 302 is fixed to a baffle 303 on its left and right sides. The partition plates 302 separate multiple sorting bins 3a. There are three sorting bins 3a and four partition plates 302. A guide rail door 4 is correspondingly installed above the two sorting bins 3a closest to the book conveyor belt 2. The height of the guide rail doors 4 decreases from the side closest to the book conveyor belt 2 to the side furthest away. When the guide rail door 4 is closed, it serves as a sliding track for the books, allowing them to slide down the slope.
[0017] A rotating shaft 8 is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the partition plate 302 corresponding to each guide rail door 4. The rotating shaft 8 is parallel to the length direction of the book conveyor belt 2. The guide rail door 4 is connected to the corresponding rotating shaft 8, and one end of the rotating shaft 8 extends outward. The driving mechanism includes a driving member 9 connected to the extended end of the rotating shaft 8. A mounting base 10 is provided on the side of the partition plate 302 on the rear side of the sorting compartment 3a corresponding to the guide rail door 4. An opening and closing cylinder 11 is hinged to the mounting base 10. The extended end of the piston rod of the opening and closing cylinder 11 is hinged to the corresponding driving member 9. The opening and closing cylinder 11 drives the driving member 9 to swing, causing the rotating shaft 8 to rotate and open or close the guide rail door 4.
[0018] Both the drive cylinder 5 and the opening / closing cylinder 11 are connected to the air supply system, which includes an air storage tank 12. The inlet of the air storage tank 12 is connected to the pneumatic pump 14 via a primary pressure protection valve 13, and the outlet of the air storage tank 12 is connected to three parallel two-position four-way directional valves 16 via an air supply pipeline 15. The air supply pipeline 15 is sequentially equipped with a secondary pressure protection valve 17, a gas dryer 18, a pressure reducing valve 2119, and a lubricator 20. The two-position four-way directional valves 16 have P, S, A, and B positions. The R and S ports are normally closed. The driving cylinder 5 and the two opening and closing cylinders 11 are respectively provided with an air inlet A1, an air outlet B1, an air inlet A2, an air outlet B2, and an air inlet A3, an air outlet B3. The A and B ports of the three two-position four-way directional valves 16 are respectively connected to the air inlet A1, air outlet B1, air inlet A2, air outlet B2, and air inlet A3, air outlet B3 of the three cylinders. The P port of the two-position four-way directional valve 16 is connected to the air supply pipeline 15. When the valve core of the two-position four-way directional valve 16 is in the lower position, the P and B ports of the two-position four-way directional valve 16 are open; when the valve core of the two-position four-way directional valve 16 is in the upper position, the P and A ports of the two-position four-way directional valve 16 are open. The secondary pressure protection valve 17 is positioned slightly lower than the primary pressure protection valve 13, thus providing better protection for system components. Gas entering the storage tank 12 after passing through the compressor contains moisture and contaminating particles; at this point, the gas dryer 18 filters and dries the gas. Based on the operating pressure requirements of the cylinders within the system, the pressure reducing valve 2119 further reduces the pressure, at which point the pressure of the pressure reducing valve 2119 < the secondary pressure protection valve 17 < the primary pressure protection valve 13. The lubricator 20 adds lubricant to lubricate the control valves, cylinders, and pipeline accessories in the pneumatic system, protecting the system as gas enters each component. Gas enters the B2 or B3 port of the opening / closing cylinder 11 via the two-position four-way directional valve 16, opening the guide rail compartment door 4. Gas then enters the A2 or A3 port of the opening / closing cylinder 11 via the two-position four-way directional valve 16, closing the guide rail compartment door 4. The air inlet A1, air outlet B1, air inlet A2, air outlet B2, and air inlet A3, air outlet B3 of the drive cylinder 5 and the two opening and closing cylinders 11 are all connected to a pressure reducing valve 2119. The pressure reducing valve 2119 is connected to port A or port B of the corresponding two-position four-way directional valve 16. The output pressure of the cylinder can be adjusted according to the weight of the book.
[0019] In operation, the book bundles are placed on the book conveyor belt 2 for transport. Then, the drive cylinder 5 pushes the book bundles onto the guide rail door 4 for downward sliding. According to the weight requirements of the books, the opening and closing cylinder 11 drives the corresponding guide rail door 4 to open, allowing the books to enter the corresponding sorting bin 3a, completing the sorting. The advantages of this utility model are: 1. It uses a pneumatic system to achieve power output. Because it is gas-powered, it can protect the books from solid contamination, color, etc. According to different weight requirements, different collection bin doors can be opened by the cylinder. At this time, the cylinder pressure is set to the pressure generated by the weight of the book bundle (one-to-one). When the collection bin door opens, the book bundle falls in. When this bin is not open, the bin door serves as the guide rail for the next bin door; 2. The pneumatic control system can automatically adjust the working pressure according to the weight of the books to achieve the entry of books of different weights into the bins. It can be changed in real time according to the daily transfer work requirements (one bin for multiple uses).
[0020] This utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Based on the technical solutions disclosed in this utility model, those skilled in the art can make some substitutions and modifications to some of the technical features without creative labor, and these substitutions and modifications are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
