Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] 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.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Example 1 Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a book sorting device for book management, comprising: Sorting cylinder 100, which includes a fixed cylinder 101 and a rotating cylinder 102, wherein the rotating cylinder 102 is rotatably connected to the fixed cylinder 101; Placement frames 200, four sets of placement frames 200 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the rotating cylinder 102, and multiple placement frames 200 are used to classify and store Book 1, Book 2, Book 3 and Book 4; A rotating mechanism 300 is installed on the sorting cylinder 100. The rotating mechanism 300 drives the rotating cylinder 102 and the multiple sets of placement frames 200 on the rotating cylinder 102 to rotate. The pusher mechanism 400, with multiple pusher mechanisms 400 respectively set on the corresponding placement frame 200, includes a first pushing component 401 and a limiting component 402. The first pushing component 401 pushes the corresponding book, and the limiting component 402 limits the book.

[0024] The rotating mechanism 300 includes a first fixed plate 301 and a reduction motor 302. The first fixed plate 301 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed cylinder 101. The reduction motor 302 is fixedly installed on the first fixed plate 301. The output end of the reduction motor 302 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 303. The rotating rod 303 is fixedly connected to a gear 304. The gear 304 is meshed with a gear ring 305. The gear ring 305 is fixedly connected to the rotating cylinder 102. The output end of the reduction motor 302 drives the gear 304 to rotate through the rotating rod 303. The gear 304 drives the rotating cylinder 102, the placement frame 200, and the books in the placement frame 200 to rotate through the gear ring 305, which facilitates the sorting of different books in a set of books together by the first pushing component 401.

[0025] The first pushing component 401 includes a second fixed plate 401a and a first telescopic cylinder 401b. The second fixed plate 401a is fixedly connected to the placement frame 200, and the first telescopic cylinder 401b is fixedly installed on the second fixed plate 401a. The telescopic end of the first telescopic cylinder 401b is fixedly connected to a pushing slide plate 401c, which is slidably connected to the placement frame 200. The telescopic end of the first telescopic cylinder 401b (model SC50) moves the book by pushing the slide plate 401c, and the book is pushed out of the placement frame 200 and falls.

[0026] The limiting component 402 includes two electric telescopic rods 402a, which are symmetrically fixedly connected to the placement frame 200. Each telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 402a is fixedly connected to a limiting block 402b. The two corresponding limiting blocks 402b together limit the books. When a book is pushed out of the placement frame 200, the telescopic movement of the electric telescopic rod 402a (model EDS-08) drives the limiting block 402b to rotate, thereby limiting the remaining books.

[0027] In use, when sorting sets of books and keeping only one book per set, identical books are stacked in the same placement frame 200. The first telescopic cylinder 401b is activated, and its telescopic end pushes the slide plate 401c to move the books. The books are pushed out of the placement frame 200 and fall. At this time, the reduction motor 302 is activated, and its output end drives the gear 304 to rotate through the rotating rod 303. The gear 304 drives the rotating drum 102, the placement frame 200, and the books in the placement frame 200 to rotate through the gear ring 305. This facilitates the sorting of different books in the set together by the first pushing component 401, making it easier to organize the set of books for subsequent sale.

[0028] Example 2 Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, it also includes a material collection mechanism 500. The material collection mechanism 500 is disposed at the lower end of the fixed cylinder 101. The material collection mechanism 500 includes multiple material collection containers 501 and multiple sets of second pushing components 502. The books are pushed into the material collection containers 501 by the second pushing components 502.

[0029] Furthermore, the second pushing component 502 includes a second telescopic cylinder 502a, a push plate 502b, and a fixing block 502c. The push plate 502b is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the second telescopic cylinder 502a, and the second telescopic cylinder 502a is fixedly installed on the fixing block 502c. When the second telescopic cylinder 502a is activated, the telescopic end of the second telescopic cylinder 502a pushes the book into the collection container 501 through the push plate 502b.

[0030] Specifically, each placement frame 200 is fixedly connected to a material guide channel 600. The material drop trajectory of the material guide channel 600 corresponds to the receiving area space of the corresponding collection container 501. The books pushed out from the placement frame 200 fall into the corresponding collection container 501 through the material guide channel 600.

[0031] Yes, the upper part of the fixed cylinder 101 is symmetrically fixedly connected with multiple support legs 103, and the lower ends of the multiple support legs 103 are jointly fixedly connected to the base plate 104. The fixed block 502c is fixedly connected to the base plate 104. The base plate 104 is symmetrically provided with placement slots, and each placement frame 200 is set in the placement slot.

[0032] In use, the books pushed out from the placement box 200 fall into the collection container 501 through the guide channel 600. The second telescopic cylinder 502a is activated, and the telescopic end of the second telescopic cylinder 502a pushes the books into the collection container 501 through the push plate 502b, which facilitates the sorting and organization of the remaining books.

[0033] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled by a controller. Since the controller is a common device and belongs to existing mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.

[0034] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine work of design, manufacturing, and production without requiring much experimentation.

[0035] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
