Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transport equipment technology, and in particular to a book and magazine transport device with self-aligning function. Background Technology

[0002] In the entire printing and binding process of books and periodicals, the continuous, stable, and efficient transfer between each process is the core link to ensure the smooth operation of the production chain. It relies on professional equipment such as intelligent conveyor tracks, mechanical grippers, or automated conveyor belts to precisely connect every step of post-printing processing: from the transfer of semi-finished books and periodicals after printing, to the material transfer between lamination and cutting processes, to the orderly transportation during subsequent sorting, the precise alignment during stacking, the batch transfer in the packaging process, and the material supply in the binding workshop or the temporary storage and transfer before the books are put on the shelves in the library.

[0003] The core purpose of book and magazine conveying systems is to achieve efficient circulation of books and magazines throughout the entire process through automated or semi-automated transmission, reducing manual handling losses and time costs, while ensuring the stability and accuracy of material transmission. This lays the foundation for subsequent process connections and ultimately improves overall production or operational efficiency. Its applications are wide-ranging. In printing and binding workshops, it connects printing, cutting, laminating, and binding processes to achieve continuous transfer of semi-finished books and magazines; in book sorting centers, it facilitates the rapid sorting and transport of books and magazines by region and order.

[0004] In existing technologies, some book and magazine conveying devices simply transport books and magazines by placing them on the conveying mechanism. This can cause the books and magazines to shift during transport due to friction and vibration, resulting in them not accurately aligning with the sorting station when entering subsequent processes, leading to sorting errors or omissions. Alternatively, they may result in skewed or uneven stacking, increasing manual sorting time and even posing a risk of collapse. Therefore, a book and magazine conveying device with self-aligning function is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a book and magazine conveying device with self-aligning function, which aims to improve some existing book and magazine conveying devices, which generally only transport books and magazines by placing them on the conveying mechanism. This can cause the books and magazines to deviate from the conveying mechanism due to friction, vibration, etc. during transport.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A book and magazine conveying device with self-aligning function includes a base plate, characterized in that: a motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate, multiple outer baffles are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, multiple partitions are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, an alignment mechanism is installed on the outer wall of the outer baffles, a conveying mechanism is installed on the top of the base plate, multiple pressing mechanisms are installed on the top of the alignment mechanism, a bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the alignment mechanism, and a camera is fixedly installed on the top of the bracket;

[0008] The alignment mechanism includes an upward moving component, the inner wall of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer baffle, a blocking plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer baffle, and two bolts are threadedly connected to the inner wall of the blocking plate.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The upward moving assembly includes a connecting plate; a support plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting plate, a rack is slidably connected to the outer wall of the support plate, a slider is slidably connected to the left side of the support plate, the inner wall of the slider is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rack, and the outer wall of the second bolt is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the slider.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The inner wall of the support plate is fixedly connected to a second motor, and the drive end of the second motor is fixedly connected to a gear.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The outer wall of the second bolt is threaded to the inner wall of the slider, and the bottom of the bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the blocking plate.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The extrusion mechanism includes a third motor, the bottom of which is fixedly mounted on the top of the blocking plate, and the extrusion plate is fixedly connected to the drive end of the third motor.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The inner wall of the outer baffle is threaded with a bolt, and the outer wall of the bolt is threaded to the inner wall of the connecting plate.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] The gear is meshed with the rack, and the outer wall of the gear is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support plate.

[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0022] The conveying mechanism includes conveyor belts, the bottoms of which are all located on the top of the base plate. A speed reducer is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the conveyor belt, and a wire is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the speed reducer. The other end of the wire is fixedly connected to a control panel.

[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. In this utility model, when books and periodicals are transported vertically to the baffle position by the conveyor belt, the baffle will briefly intercept the books and periodicals. Then, the motor in the squeezing mechanism starts and drives the squeezing plate to rotate to the side of the books and periodicals, applying controllable pressure. While ensuring that the paper is tightly attached, the squeezing plate exerts uniform force, avoiding paper damage. This ensures that the entire process from conveying to sorting is completed automatically. It is suitable for places such as libraries and printing plants that need to process books and periodicals in batches.

[0025] 2. In this utility model, the gear and rack mesh with each other, and the rack can slide on the support plate. Therefore, the motor in the upward moving component drives the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the rack to slide on the support plate. A slider is fixedly connected to the rack, and the slider is fixed to the blocking plate by bolts. Therefore, as the rack slides upward, it drives the slider and the blocking plate to move upward, realizing precise vertical displacement control, ensuring that the books are quickly released after alignment, thereby improving the efficiency of the production line. The modular mechanical transmission structure is stable and has a longer service life. It reduces maintenance costs while avoiding secondary misalignment of books and magazines.

An alignment mechanism 2 is installed on the outer wall of the outer baffle 6. The alignment mechanism 2 is used to organize the books and their papers, making the books neat and the papers compact, which facilitates subsequent processes. A conveying mechanism 3 is installed on the top of the bottom plate 1. The conveying mechanism 3 is used to transport the books. Multiple squeezing mechanisms 4 are installed on the top of the alignment mechanism 2. The squeezing mechanisms 4 are used to squeeze the books, making the papers more compact and less likely to fall apart. A bracket 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the alignment mechanism 2. The bracket 8 is used to drag and drop other components. A camera 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the bracket 8. The camera 9 is used to visually verify the state of the books, which facilitates the judgment of the actual state of the books.

[0034] The alignment mechanism 2 includes an upward moving component 21. This component 21 is used to drag other parts upwards after the books and periodicals have completed their alignment process, allowing them to pass smoothly into the next stage. The inner wall of the upward moving component 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer baffle 6. A blocking plate 22 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer baffle 6. The blocking plate 22 blocks the books and periodicals to facilitate subsequent alignment operations. Driven by the conveying mechanism 3, the books and periodicals can achieve paper alignment at the blocking plate. A bolt 23 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the blocking plate 22. The bolt 23 is used for… The upper moving component 21 and the blocking plate 22 are fixed together to make the connection between them more stable. The upper moving component 21 includes a connecting plate 212, which is used to connect the upper moving component 22 and the outer blocking plate 6. A support plate 211 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting plate 212. The support plate 211 serves as the main body of the entire upper moving component 21 and provides support for the connecting plate 212 and other components. A rack 213 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the support plate 211. The rack 213 is used to slide up and down on the support plate 211 and is the main component of the upper moving component 21. This provides important evidence. A slider 215 is slidably connected to the left side of the support plate 211. A bolt 216 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the outer baffle 6. The outer wall of bolt 216 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 212. The slider 215 slides up and down following the rack 213, connecting and driving the baffle 22 to move up and down. The inner wall of the slider 215 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rack 213. The outer wall of bolt 23 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the slider 215. A motor 217 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support plate 211. 17 is used as the driving source for the entire upward moving assembly 21, providing power for the operation of the upward moving assembly 21. The driving end of the motor 217 is fixedly connected to the gear 214. The outer side of the gear 214 is meshed with the outer side of the rack 213. The outer wall of the gear 214 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support plate 211. The gear 214 is used to rotate under the drive of the motor 217, thereby driving the rack 213 to move up and down. The outer wall of the bolt 23 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the slider 215. The bottom of the bracket 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the blocking plate 22.

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 3The extrusion mechanism 4 includes a motor 42, which serves as the driving source for the extrusion mechanism 4, providing power for its operation. The bottom of the motor 42 is fixedly mounted on the top of the baffle plate 22. The driving end of the motor 42 is fixedly connected to an extrusion plate 41, which rotates under the drive of the motor 42 to extrude power over the books and periodicals on the conveying mechanism 3 below, thereby making the paper of the books and periodicals more compact. The conveying mechanism 3 includes a conveyor belt 31, which serves as the main body of the conveying mechanism 3 and carries the books and periodicals. For functionality, the bottoms of multiple conveyor belts 31 are all located on the top of the base plate 1. A speed reducer 32 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the conveyor belt 31. The speed reducer 32 is used to control the running speed of the conveyor belt 31. A wire 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the speed reducer 32. The wire 33 is used to connect the speed reducer 32 to other components, thereby providing a stable channel for signal transmission between components. The other end of the wire 33 is fixedly connected to a control panel 34. The control panel 34 is used to manually intervene in the speed and status of the conveyor belt 31, providing users with a simple human-machine interface.

[0036] Working Principle: When books and periodicals enter the conveyor mechanism 3, the conveyor belt 31, driven by motor 5, begins to rotate at a constant speed, smoothly conveying the books and periodicals forward. As the conveyor belt 31 continues to rotate, the books and periodicals are gradually delivered to the baffle plate 22. During this process, the camera 9 installed above the conveyor mechanism 3 monitors the conveying status of the books and periodicals in real time. When it is confirmed that all books and periodicals on the conveyor belt 31 have accurately reached the position of the baffle plate 22, the paper alignment program is triggered. At this time, the pressing mechanism 4 starts, and its core component, motor 42, starts to operate after receiving the control signal. Motor 42 drives the pressing plate 41 to rotate, applying uniform pressure to the books and periodicals. This ensures that the paper is tightly adhered during the pressing process while avoiding paper damage, ensuring that the entire process from conveying to sorting is fully automated. This is suitable for places such as libraries and printing plants that need to process books and periodicals in batches.

[0037] After all the alignment operations are completed, the camera 9 confirms the alignment. Once confirmed, the upward moving device 21 starts working, and the motor 217 starts working, driving the gear 214 to rotate. Because the outside of the gear 214 meshes with the left side of the rack 213, the gear 214 will drive the rack 213 to slide up and down on the support plate 211, thereby driving the slider 215 to slide up and down on the support plate 211. The blocking plate 22 and the slider 215 are fixedly connected by bolt 216. Thus, when the slider 215 slides up and down, it will drive the blocking plate 22 to move up or down. The upward movement of the blocking plate 22 allows the books and periodicals to continue moving forward through the conveyor belt 31, ensuring that the books and periodicals are quickly released after alignment, thereby improving the efficiency of the production line. The modular mechanical transmission structure is stable and has a longer service life. It reduces maintenance costs while avoiding secondary misalignment of books and periodicals.
