Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of library management equipment, in particular to a self-service book borrowing and returning device for a library. Background Art

[0002] In any library, there is a very rich collection of books, and people can borrow books according to their needs. If people are allowed to handle the borrowing procedures by themselves, there is no guarantee that no one will take the books out secretly. In order to avoid the loss of books, a small inspection must be carried out on the people entering and leaving the library. Then, when borrowing books, people and books must leave the library separately. Only at the entrance and exit of the library, administrators can be set up to handle the borrowing and returning procedures. At present, the library mainly uses the staff registration and demagnetization method to handle the borrowing and returning of books. This not only requires the administrator to be in place all the time, even if no one borrows or returns books, which will cause a waste of human resources. Due to the large borrowing volume of the library, when the flow of people is large, people often have to queue up for a long time when borrowing and returning books, which makes people wait for a long time and inconvenient to borrow and return books.

[0030] Specifically, the electric telescopic plate includes an electric sliding frame 16 fixedly disposed on the placement platform 15 , and a sliding protective cover 10 embedded in the electric sliding frame 16 .

[0031] Specifically, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a sliding frame 20 , and a transverse sliding rod 21 and a longitudinal sliding rod 22 provided on the sliding frame 20 , wherein the transverse sliding rod 21 and the longitudinal sliding rod 22 are arranged to cross each other vertically.

[0032] Specifically, the sliding platform 3 includes a sliding platform 43 frame 30, which is composed of a plurality of double-track slide bars and a partition plate 33 provided in the middle of the plurality of double-track slide bars, and a first slide plate 31 and a second slide plate 32 are slidably fixed between the double-track slide bars, respectively. The first slide plate 31 is fixed to the upper slide rail position of the double-track slide bar, and the second slide plate 32 is fixed to the lower slide rail position of the double-track slide bar.

[0033] Specifically, the storage box 5 includes a box body 50, and grooves matching the slide 43 are respectively opened on both sides of the bottom end of the box body 50, and a blocking pad 53 is fixedly provided at the top of the box body 50, and a handle 51 is opened at the front end; the inner wall of the bottom end of the box body 50 is respectively fixed with springs 54 at four right-angle positions, and a pressure plate 52 is fixedly connected to the top of each spring 54.

[0034] Specifically, the sliding platform 3 is a crawler structure.

[0035] Specifically, the fixed doors 41 on both sides of the storage platform are arranged opposite to each other, and handles 44 are respectively provided on the fixed doors 41 .

[0036] Specifically, a device box is provided in the operating table 1, and the device box is respectively connected to the touch operation screen 14, the camera 12, the electric telescopic plate, the conveying mechanism 2, and the sliding table 3; the device box is provided with a processor, a battery module, an identification module, and a network module.
