The book return box accommodating cavity is used for accommodating the book return box corresponding thereto. The self-service borrowing and returning machine of the present invention can independently complete the borrowing and returning of literature and books in the library by readers themselves, and can protect the books from damage during the return process. Books can evenly enter both sides of the book return box to fully accommodate books, and Accommodating the book return box can facilitate the librarian's handling, and by setting a door on the borrowing and returning machine to ensure that the returned books will not be lost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a self-service book borrowing and returning machine. Background technique [0002] At present, the library has a large amount of borrowing, especially at the beginning of the new semester, and the library is ushering in the peak of borrowing and returning books. Borrowing books often requires a long queue; there are also serious queues in the book return hall. When the book is due to be returned, it is often delayed because the library is not open or it is off work time, causing inconvenience to readers. Librarians and staff are extremely heavy on inventory, sorting, and categorization of books. [0003] On the other hand, after the students return the books, due to the large number and the limited number of librarians, the books are all piled up in a certain place, and the books are easily damaged during the placement process, and there are no suitable tools during the handling process. It will also cause great inconvenience...

When the book is due to be returned, it is often delayed because the library is not open or off work time, causing inconvenience to readers

The librarians and staff are extremely heavy on the work of inventorying, sorting, and categorizing books

[0003] On the other hand, after the students return the books, due to the large number and the limited number of librarians, the books are all piled up in a certain place, and the books are easily damaged during the placement process, and there are no suitable tools during the handling process. It will also cause great inconvenience to the work of librarians.

[0004] In the existing solutions, many libraries still use the "magnetic stripe + barcode" method to handle the borrowing and returning of books. This method has no effect on reducing the workload of librarians. A small number of libraries have already Starting to use a simple single borrowing and returning machine can alleviate the queuing phenomenon of library readers borrowing and returning books to a certain extent, and can extend the reader's returning time, but because the automation of this kind of borrowing and returning machine is only a single borrowing and returning, Librarians and staff are still troubled by the placement, sorting, and handling of books after they are returned

[0005] At present, most librarians use ordinary boxes to install books, and then use small luggage trailers to carry books or boxes where books are installed, but this approach will still lead to the following results: 1. Books are directly placed in ordinary boxes Among them, due to gravity, it is easy to cause the books to be rubbed and damaged; 2. The box and the luggage trailer are not integrated, so it is easy to lose or the box slips during the handling process, which is not convenient enough
