Automatic page turning machine

Abstract

The invention relates to an automatic page turning machine. The automatic page turning machine comprises a bottom plate, page rubbing mechanisms, a page supporting mechanism, a page turning mechanism, a page down-pressing mechanism and a page up-pressing mechanism. The connecting method is as follows: the page supporting mechanism is fixed at the center of the bottom plate; the page turning mechanism is positioned at the middle part of the lower side of the page supporting mechanism and just connected with the bottom plate; the page rubbing mechanisms are positioned on the two sides of the lower side of the page supporting mechanism; the page down-pressing mechanism is just connected with the bottom plate and positioned between the two groups of page rubbing mechanisms; and the page up-pressing mechanism is positioned on the upper side of the page supporting mechanism and penetrates through a rectangular groove of a page supporting plate. The automatic page turning machine provided by the invention has the advantages of good adjustability, strong adaptability, capability of conveniently turning pages forward and backward as well as capability of guaranteeing flatness of the page, can be used for character scanning and character optical identification equipment, so that these equipments have automatic page turning functions, and can be also used as assisting equipment for disabled so as to help the disabled with inconvenient hand movements in reading; and by using rubbing heads, the pages can be turned.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic book-turning machine, which is used in the field of book scanning equipment technology and helping the disabled. Background technique [0002] At present, when people use a scanner to scan books, they usually need to turn a page by hand and scan a page, which takes up manpower and is inefficient. In the field of handicapped equipment, there are currently some automatic reading machines realized by optical recognition technology, which need to realize the function of automatic book turning. For solving above these problems, need a kind of device that can realize book turning automatically. [0003] Found through literature search, Chinese patent application number: 200410017691.2, this patented technology discloses a kind of automatic reading robot, mainly is made up of fuselage, two digital cameras, a loudspeaker, an industrial computer and automatic page-turning mechanism. Wherein, the page-turning mechanism is ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The book-turning mechanism of this invention lacks a more effective book fixing device. During the book scanning process, the scanned text is easily deformed due to the bending of the book pages.

At the same time, the device cannot adapt to books of different sizes and thicknesses, and can only turn over books whose size is suitable for the position of the book rubbing probe and whose thickness is relatively small

In addition, this equipment is designed for machine reading and is not suitable for reading with human eyes. The reason is that the movement plane of the book-turning probe is perpendicular to the book, and it is easy to hit the reader during the book-turning process.
