Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of finished book processing technology, and in particular to a book inner page processing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Libraries have a large number of books, and the workload of identification and management during the process of book entry, borrowing, and return is also relatively large. In order to manage books more conveniently and efficiently, library staff usually print collection codes, RFID tags, or stamps on the pages of each book. During this process, a continuous page-turning system is used to turn the cover, back cover, title page, or other pages of the book. After turning the pages, the inner pages of the book are processed by one or more internal page processing mechanisms.

[0003] Existing continuous page-turning systems for books, as shown in patent application CN202210394960.5, primarily utilize a transport mechanism to move books to their corresponding positions. Once the books are in place, the components work together to align the spines, allowing for continuous page turning. The accompanying inner page processing mechanism, as shown in patent application CN202320369737.5 (titled "A Book Inner Page Processing Device"), uses a connecting seat to mount glue dispensing components, a stamping mechanism, etc., and, in conjunction with a robotic arm, can perform stamping and glue dispensing operations on the inner pages of books.

[0004] Currently, the vast majority of books on the market are left-hand page-turning books. When these books are transported on the aforementioned page-turning system, the spine is close to the alignment direction, and the text on the book faces the end of the transport mechanism (meaning the text appears upright from behind the transport mechanism). However, some books on the market are right-hand page-turning books. While the spine of these books is also close to the alignment direction when transported on the same page-turning system, the text on the book faces the end of the transport mechanism (meaning the text appears upside down from behind the transport mechanism). When affixing a library stamp to the inner pages, the stamp's direction must be consistent with the text direction. Existing inner page processing devices clearly do not meet the stamping requirements for books with different page-turning directions. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a book inner page processing mechanism. By utilizing a rotating base, the stamping head can be rotated without altering the structure of the robotic arm, thus adapting to the stamping requirements of books with different page-turning directions.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a book inner page processing mechanism, including a connecting seat and a stamping assembly mounted on the connecting seat, the stamping assembly including a buffer component, a rotating seat, and a fixing head. The buffer component is used to achieve a buffered connection between the connecting seat and the rotating seat. The rotating seat is connected to the fixed head and is used to drive the fixed head to rotate. The fixed head is used to connect the stamping head.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention adds a rotating seat to the existing inner page processing device. The rotating seat can drive the fixed head to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the stamping head on the fixed head. Even without changing the overall structure and motion design of the robotic arm, the direction of the stamping head can be adjusted according to the spine of the book with different page turning directions, ensuring that the direction of the text on the stamp is consistent with the direction of the text in the book after the inner pages are stamped, so as to meet the stamping requirements.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating seat includes a rotary cylinder with a rotation angle greater than or equal to 180°.

[0009] Furthermore, the buffer component includes a buffer seat and an elastic element. The buffer seat and the connecting seat are slidably connected. The elastic element is located between the buffer seat and the connecting seat and is elastically connected to the buffer seat and the connecting seat respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, the elastic element includes a limiting rod and a limiting spring. The limiting spring is sleeved outside the limiting rod. The limiting rod is fixed to the connecting seat and slidably connected to the buffer seat. The limiting spring is located between the connecting seat and the buffer seat.

[0011] Furthermore, the buffer seat and the connecting seat are limited in sliding by a sliding member. The sliding component includes a slider and a slide rail that work together. The slider and slide rail are respectively mounted on the buffer seat and the connecting seat, or respectively mounted on the connecting seat and the buffer seat.

[0012] Furthermore, the connector also connects to a labeling component. The labeling assembly includes an adsorption head and an elastic component. The elastic component is used to achieve a buffered connection between the connector and the adsorption head, and the adsorption head is used to pick up the label.

[0013] Furthermore, the elastic components include a mounting base, a sliding rod, and a sliding spring. The mounting base slides onto the connector. The length direction of the sliding rod is consistent with the sliding direction of the mounting base. The sliding rod is fixedly connected to one of the mounting base and the connecting base, and slidably connected to the other. The sliding spring is sleeved on the sliding rod and located between the connecting seat and the mounting seat.

[0014] Furthermore, the connector also connects to a labeling component. The labeling assembly includes an adsorption head, an elastic component, and a rotating base. The elastic component is used to achieve a buffered connection between the connecting base and the rotating base. The rotating base is connected to the adsorption head and is used to drive the adsorption head to rotate. The adsorption head is used to pick up the label.

[0015] Furthermore, the rotating seat includes a rotary cylinder with a rotation angle greater than or equal to 180°. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a book inner page processing mechanism 100 includes a connecting seat 110 and a stamping assembly mounted on the connecting seat 110. The stamping assembly includes a buffer component 120, a rotating seat 130, and a fixed head 140. The buffer component 120 is used to achieve a buffered connection between the connecting seat 110 and the rotating seat 130. The rotating seat 130 is connected to the fixed head 140 and is used to drive the fixed head 140 to rotate. The fixed head 140 is used to connect to the stamping head 150.

[0020] Understandably, the connecting seat 110, as the mounting component of the entire mechanism, facilitates its connection with other components of the processing mechanism 100 and enables its connection with the robotic arm 200, ensuring that the entire processing mechanism 100 can achieve its auxiliary processing purpose. Therefore, the overall structure of the connecting seat 110 needs to be configured for the structures of each component to be installed. In this utility model, for example... Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the connecting seat 110 is roughly a horizontal block structure, and the rotating seat 130 is located below the connecting seat 110 and slides vertically under the action of the buffer component 120. Other components, such as dispensing components and labeling components, can also be arranged on the connecting seat 110 along its horizontal extension direction. These other components and the rotating seat 130 are arranged side by side along the length of the connecting seat 110, so they do not interfere with each other. Furthermore, the robotic arm 200 connected to the connecting seat 110 can move each component to the top of the book page and process the book page simultaneously, following the same movement path.

[0021] Of course, if different components need to process different pages, the positional relationship of each component on the connecting seat 110 can be improved, and the movement path of the cooperating robotic arm 200 can be designed to ensure that when each component is used alone, the position of other components does not affect the use of that component. Specifically, as shown in the prior art (patent application number CN202320369737.5), the glue dispensing mechanism and the stamping mechanism are not horizontally set, but have a certain angle. In use, the robotic arm 200 can be used to drive the connecting seat 110 to rotate at different angles, which can realize the glue dispensing operation on the page or the stamping operation on other pages.

[0022] Since different finished books have different thicknesses, the movement path of the robotic arm 200 is fixed after the program is set, indicating that the downward movement distance of the connecting seat 110 driven by the robotic arm 200 is also fixed. Therefore, to ensure that stamping operations can be performed on books of different thicknesses, a buffer component 120 is required. Specifically, the buffer component 120 includes a buffer seat 121 and an elastic element 122. The buffer seat 121 is slidably connected to the connecting seat 110, and the elastic element 122 is located between the buffer seat 121 and the connecting seat 110, elastically connected to both the buffer seat 121 and the connecting seat 110. The elastic element 122 includes a limiting rod 1222 and a limiting spring 1221. The limiting spring 1221 is sleeved outside the limiting rod 1222. The limiting rod 1222 is fixed to the connecting seat 110 and slidably connected to the buffer seat 121, and the limiting spring 1221 is located between the connecting seat 110 and the buffer seat 121. The buffer seat 121 and the connecting seat 110 are limited to slide by the sliding member 160. The sliding member 160 includes a slider 162 and a slide rail 161 that work together. The slider 162 and the slide rail 161 are respectively disposed on the buffer seat 121 and the connecting seat 110, or respectively disposed on the connecting seat 110 and the buffer seat 121.

[0023] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the slide rail 161 is located below the connecting seat 110 and fixed to the extension structure at the lower part of the connecting seat 110. The slide rail 161 is arranged vertically. The slider 162 is fixed on the buffer seat 121. The limiting rod 1222 is arranged vertically. The rotating seat 130 is located below the buffer seat 121. The fixed head 140 is located below the rotating seat 130. The stamping head 150 is located below the fixed head 140. In use, due to the cooperation of the slider 162, the slide rail 161, and the elastic element 122, when the connecting arm moves down a certain distance, based on the different thicknesses of the books below the stamping head 150, even if the connecting seat 110 moves down too far, due to the buffer layout, the downward distance of the stamping head 150 can be less than the downward distance of the connecting seat 110, so that the stamping head 150 can perform stamping operations on books of different thicknesses. Of course, during the production process, in order to adapt to the stamping of books of different thicknesses, the downward movement distance of the robotic arm 200 can also be controlled. The thickness of the book has been measured in other processing steps. During the stamping process, the program controls the downward movement distance of the robotic arm 200, which can also realize the stamping operation of books of different thicknesses.

[0024] To facilitate the rotation of the fixed head 140, and considering the overall processing circuit, pneumatic drive is generally employed. The rotating base 130 of this invention uses a rotary cylinder. The rotation angle of the rotary cylinder can be 180°, 360°, etc. The rotary cylinder can be a servo cylinder, rotating at different angles depending on the inner pages of different books, thereby driving the fixed head 140 and the stamping head 150 to rotate at a specific angle to adapt to usage requirements. Based on practical considerations, a rotary cylinder with a rotation angle of 180° is preferred for the rotating base 130.

[0025] This invention adds a rotating seat 130 to the existing inner page processing device. The rotating seat 130 can drive the fixed head 140 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the stamping head 150 on the fixed head 140. Even without changing the overall structure and motion design of the robotic arm 200, the direction of the stamping head 150 can be adjusted according to the spine of the book with different page turning directions, ensuring that after the inner pages of the book are stamped, the direction of the text on the stamp is consistent with the direction of the text in the book, so as to meet the stamping requirements.

[0026] In some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting seat 110 may also carry other inner page processing components, such as the dispensing assembly connected in the prior art. In this utility model, a labeling assembly 170 is also connected to the connecting seat 110. The labeling assembly 170 includes an adsorption head 171 and an elastic component 172. The elastic component 172 is used to achieve a buffer connection between the connecting seat 110 and the adsorption head 171, and the adsorption head 171 is used to pick up the label. The elastic component 172 includes a mounting base 1723, a sliding rod 1721, and a sliding spring 1722. The mounting base 1723 is slidably connected to the connecting seat 110. The length direction of the sliding rod 1721 is consistent with the sliding direction of the mounting base 1723. The sliding rod 1721 is fixedly connected to one of the mounting base 1723 and the connecting seat 110, and slidably connected to the other. The sliding spring 1722 is sleeved on the sliding rod 1721 and located between the mounting base 1723 and the connecting seat 110.

[0027] like Figure 2 , 3As shown, the labeling component 170 and the stamping component are arranged side by side along the length of the connecting seat 110. The sliding rod 1721 and the limiting rod 1222 are arranged in parallel. The sliding rod 1721 is fixed to the mounting seat 1723. The mounting seat 1723 and the adsorption head 171 are actually an integral connection structure, ensuring the cooperation of the mounting seat 1723 and the elastic component 172, which can realize the buffer connection between the adsorption head 171 and the connecting seat 110. In order to avoid the failure of the connection between the mounting seat 1723 and the connecting seat 110, the upper end of the sliding rod 1721 is limited to slide against the connecting seat 110 (using the bolt head structure at the upper end to avoid the separation of the sliding rod 1721 and the connecting seat 110). The mounting seat 1723 and the connecting seat 110 can adopt a limiting structure similar to that of the sliding component 160. Through the sliding limitation of the slider 162 and the slide rail 161 (or slide groove), the adsorption head 171 can slide and connect vertically on the connecting seat 110. The sliding spring 1722, fitted on the sliding rod 1721, achieves buffered sliding between the connecting seat 110 and the suction head 171 under the limiting sliding of the connecting seat 110 and the mounting seat 1723 and the positioning action of the sliding rod 1721. This allows the connecting seat 110 to move down a certain distance, and with the cooperation of the sliding rod 1721 and the sliding spring 1722, the downward movement distance of the suction head 171 can be less than the downward movement distance of the connecting seat 110, ensuring that the label on the suction head 171 can be pasted into the inner pages of books of different thicknesses.

[0028] The adsorption head 171 is hollow, and its bottom has multiple air holes connected to its inner cavity. An air tube connects to the inner cavity of the adsorption head 171, allowing an electric vacuum generator to control air intake or exhaust, thus enabling the adsorption of labels. The specific structure and principle can be found in Figure 5 of the applicant's prior patent application, CN202310851056.7.

[0029] Of course, in some embodiments of this utility model, in addition to the above-described structure, the labeling assembly 170 can also be equipped with a component with a steering function. Therefore, the labeling assembly 170 can also include an adsorption head 171, an elastic component 172, and a rotating seat 1724. The elastic component 172 is used to achieve a buffered connection between the connecting seat 110 and the rotating seat 1724. The rotating seat 1724 is connected to the adsorption head 171 and is used to drive the adsorption head 171 to rotate. The adsorption head 171 is used to pick up the label. The rotating seat 1724 includes a rotary cylinder, and the rotation angle of the rotary cylinder is greater than or equal to 180°.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 2 , 3The suction head 171 and the mounting base 1723 are integrated into one unit, divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part is an independent mounting base 1723, and the lower part is the suction head 171 for suction. The mounting base 1723 and the connecting base 110 are connected by an elastic component 172 for buffering. The rotating base 1724 is located below the mounting base 1723 and fixed to it, ensuring that the movement path of the rotating base 1724 is consistent with that of the mounting base 1723. The suction head 171 is located below the rotating base 1724 and connected to it. Since the rotating base 1724 is also provided between the mounting base 1723 and the suction head 171, and the rotating base 1724 uses the same rotary cylinder as the rotating base 130, the suction head 171 is connected to the rotating end of the rotary cylinder. This allows the suction head 171 to rotate under the action of the rotary cylinder after suctioning the label, so as to adapt to the book storage operation of the spine of the book with different page turning directions.
