Automatic picking and placing device for books

Abstract

The invention provides an automatic picking and placing device for books. The device comprises a mechanical transfer arm, a transfer platform, a depository bookshelf and an impacting pin. The device is characterized in that the mechanical transfer arm faces the depository bookshelf and can forwards and backwards move and be opened and closed relative to the bookshelf so as to allow people to pick and place the books; the transfer platform is positioned below the mechanical transfer arm and used for supporting the books; the depository bookshelf is arranged at the back of the front end of the mechanical transfer arm, and an opening of the depository bookshelf faces an outer bookshelf; the impacting pin is arranged at the rear part of the depository bookshelf and can be used for pushing the books from the depository bookshelf into the mechanical transfer arm and onto the transfer platform. The device has the advantages that the books can be automatically managed without reconstructing the outer bookshelf, so that the labor intensity of librarians can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a robot, in particular to an automatic pick-and-place device for books, especially suitable for the realization of autonomous loading, unloading and sorting of books in libraries. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, the collection of books and the number of borrowed books in libraries are increasing year by year, especially in university libraries. It takes a lot of manpower to classify and put books on the shelves, which will lead to increased labor intensity, and book management will be an increasingly difficult job. . However, the efficiency of manpower returning and taking out books is very low, and there may be problems such as wrong placement. Although many libraries use barcode or RFID technology to assist in the identification and management of books, the inevitable trend of library development in the future must be to use robots to complete the human librarians to complete the book loading and unloading, borrowing...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, there are not many studies on this

Some have completely remodeled the bookshelf, turning the bookshelf into a bookcase. Such a design is difficult to implement and the practical cost is high; while some are simply designed to simulate the transfer robot arm of the human hand. Not only is the mechanism complicated, the feasibility is low, and the functions realized Generally, it can only fetch books, but does not have the function of putting books, nor can it realize the automatic taking and putting of books.
