In addition, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below, but it is needless to say that the technical idea of the present invention is not limited thereto and can be variously modified by those skilled in the art.

1 is a view for explaining a book dust removing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a book dust removing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a control unit having a user interface to perform a start or stop, an initialization process, a display of the number of processed books, Panel 190 (see FIG. 4), and a control device 180 that performs overall control of each part for dust removal while automatically transferring the book. The control panel 190 is mounted on a frame or a housing of the housing in which the inlet 110 extends, from among the entire frame or the housing for mounting each unit including the controller 180 of the book dust removing apparatus, .

In addition, a book dust removing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a pedestal 115 in front of a loading port 110 for loading books, a book size measuring sensor 111, 112 installed on a square frame of the loading port 110, 113 and 114, a conveyor belt 130, a fixed bottom surface brush 121, a height adjustable top surface brush 122, a fixed first side brush 131, a left and right adjustable second side brush 132, A weight 140, a fixed front brush 150, a sliding assistant 161, a loading box 162, and a dust collecting device 170.

The control device 180 can control the speed of the motor for rotating the conveyor belt 130, the motor for rotating the brushes, and the like, and controls the rotation speed of the impeller or the like included in the dust collector 170 . The controller 180 controls the position of the top brush 122 and the position of the second side brush 132 according to the measurement result of the book thickness measuring sensor 111, 112, 113, 114, Can be appropriately adjusted.

The operation of the book dust removing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the user selects an operation test through the control panel 190, and pushes a book having an arbitrary size toward the input port 110 to check whether it is normal operation. For example, it is possible to check whether the upper and lower brushes 122 are vertically adjusted or the second side brush 132 is adjusted to the left or right according to the operation state of the motor driving each brush or the size of the book. In addition, the user may select the initialization through the control panel 190 and initialize the preset data for the control of the control device 180 so that the control device 180 does not generate an error in the control process. The upper surface brush 122 and the second side brush 132 can be moved to the maximum movable position through the initialization.

When the user prepares for the test or initialization, the user selects start from the control panel 190 and inserts the book into the input port 110 to automatically remove the dust while automatically conveying the conveyor belt 130. When the start button is selected in this manner, the controller 180 controls the motor for rotating the conveyor belt 130, the motor for rotating the brushes, the impeller included in the dust collector 170, etc. to rotate at a predetermined speed Can be driven. The user can stop the operation of the device by selecting the stop button at the control panel 190 at any time.

The dust removing target book is placed on the pedestal 115 and brought into close contact with one side (the left side of the book in the drawing) so as to pass through the inlet 110 (some margins which may not be closely adhered in some cases) The book size measuring sensors 111, 112, 113 and 114 measure the thickness and the left and right length of the book into which the loading slot 110 is inserted and transmit the measurement result to the controller 180, The display portion of the number of books processed in the panel 190 may be counted and displayed so that 1 is added to the previous value (20). For example, a plurality of elements (e.g., 111) constituting a light emitting portion (for example, 111) for generating electromagnetic waves such as infrared rays and a light receiving portion (for example, 112) The thickness of the book can be measured in accordance with the principle that the electromagnetic wave can not be emitted or received from the portion left by the book by using the book. Each of the elements (a plurality) constituting a light emitting portion (for example, 114) and a light receiving portion (for example, 113) for receiving the light emitting portion generate electromagnetic waves such as infrared rays at upper and lower portions of the rectangular frame portion of the input port 110, And it is possible to measure the left and right lengths of the book according to the principle that the electromagnetic wave can not be emitted or received from the floor covered by the book.

The control device 180 can immediately adjust the vertical position of the top brush 122 in accordance with the thickness of the book, The left and right positions of the second side brush 132 can be adjusted according to the left and right lengths of the book (30). That is, the lower brush 121 and the first side brush 131 are fixed, and the upper brush 122 and the second side brush 132 appropriately approach the book according to the thickness of the loaded book and the length of the book Brushing can be done.

As described above, the input book, which is pushed up to the conveyor belt 130 through the input port 110, is separated from the lower brush 121 and the front brush 150 on the conveyor belt 130 under the control of the controller 180, (50) at a constant speed to effect brushing.

When the book is pushed through the inlet 110 and touches the conveyor belt 130, the lower and upper brushes 121 and 122, respectively, The bottom surface of the book is brushed by the fixed lower surface brush 121 and the upper surface of the book is brushed by the upper surface brush 122 whose height has been adjusted (refer to FIG. 5A) Properly brushing can remove dust (50).

In the next step, while the book is being conveyed on the conveyor belt 130, the book is folded on the left side (side 1) and the right side (side 2) by the first side brush 131 and the second side brush 132, (Side 1) of the book is brushed by the fixed first side brush 131, and the right side (left side) of the book is brushed The right side (side 2) of the book can be appropriately brushed by the second side brush 132 whose position has been adjusted (step 60).

After the dust on the left side (side 1) and the right side (side 2) are cleaned, the book on the conveyor belt 130 is transferred and the front of the book (see FIG. 3) And the front brushing is started (see Fig. 5 (c)). That is, the front brush 150, which is designed to be larger than other brushes, may brush the front side of the book on the conveyor belt 130 to remove the dust in the brush.

5 (a), the book is first brushed by the lower brush 121 and the upper brush 122, and the book is pressed down on the upper and lower sides. Therefore, the book to be transferred on the conveyor belt 130 is misaligned In addition, since it is possible to receive a certain amount of force that is closely attached to the first side brush 131 and pushed by the second side brush 132 in the step (b) of FIG. 5, The transferred books can be transported stably without changing the posture.

On the other hand, in order to reduce the force of the book conveyed on the conveyor belt 130 in reverse, when viewed from the front of FIG. 5 (that is, when viewed from the right side in the direction in which the book is conveyed) And the upper surface brush 122 rotates counterclockwise. It is preferable that the first side brush 131 rotate in a counterclockwise direction and the second side brush 132 rotates in a clockwise direction. Further, the front brush 150 preferably rotates counterclockwise.

5, there is a possibility that the cover of the book to be carried on the conveyor belt 130 is lifted or the bookcase is unfolded. However, since the rotation speed of the front brush 150 As shown in FIG. This may also be solved by the auxiliary weight 140 which presses the book at an appropriate force as in Fig. The auxiliary weight 140 shown in FIG. 1 is made of a metal material and can be bent in a middle part. The auxiliary weight 140 can be lifted by pressing the front part of the book in the traveling direction on the conveyor belt 130, Can prevent the phenomenon.

When dust is removed from the book by the front brush 150 as described above, the book slides down through the slide assist plate 161 at the end of the conveyor belt 130 and is loaded 80 on the loading box 162 one by one.

During the brushing process, a lot of dust may be blown into the frame or the housing for mounting the respective parts of the book dust removing device, and dust may accumulate all over the inside of the housing to thereby affect the service life of the parts. A dust collecting device 170 for sucking and collecting dust is installed in a lower portion of the dust collecting box 130. 1, the dust collecting apparatus 170 includes a filter 171 that can be cleaned with water and operates an impeller under the filter 171 so that the air sucked through the filter 171 passes through the filter 171 171 and the air after passing through the filter 171 can be appropriately discharged outside.

While the invention has been shown and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
