The adapter frame 2-5 is also fixedly arranged with a flip motor 2-7, and the motor shaft of the flip motor 2-7 is coaxial with the rotation axis of the electric clamp 2-6.

[0049] The electric clamp 2-6 includes a main body, on which a clamp motor is installed, and the clamp motor drives the first gear installed at the end of the clamp motor to rotate; the first gear passes through the main body and is located on one side of the main body; two guide grooves are also provided on one side of the main body, in which the first slider 2-1 and the second slider 2-1 are slidably arranged respectively, and a first rack 1-10 is fixedly installed on one side of the first slider 2-1, and a second rack 1-10 is fixedly installed on one side of the second slider 2-1, and the first rack 1-10 and the second rack 1-10 are connected by a first gear meshing transmission; a clamp is respectively installed on the first slider 2-1 and the second slider 2-1.

[0050] The electric clamp 2-6 can clamp the book. When the book moves to the area where it needs to be placed, the electric clamp 2-6 releases the clamp of the book, and then the book falls onto the bookshelf 1-1 under the action of its own gravity.

[0051] In order to prevent the book from tipping over during the falling process, the electric clamp 2-6 should clamp the middle of the book, and the book is still in the electric clamp 2-6 during the falling process.

[0052] After the book falls onto the bookshelf 1-1, the flip motor 2-7 is started, driving the electric clamp 2-6 to flip a certain angle, so that the electric clamp 2-6 is separated from the book, so that the clamping mechanism 2 is reset to the short transverse track 1-5.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] Based on Example 1, see Figure 5 , Figure 6 A groove is provided on each bookshelf 1-1, a limiting slide 3 is fixedly arranged in the groove, and a limiting unit 4 is slidably arranged on the limiting slide 3;

[0058] The limiting slide 3 is in a "U" shape, and a folded edge 3-1 is fixedly provided at both ends of the opening of the limiting slide 3, and a plurality of limiting grooves 3-2 are arranged in an array on the folded edge 3-1.

[0059] The limiting unit 4 includes a sliding seat 4-1 sliding in the limiting slideway 3, a clamping plate 4-2 is rotatably arranged on the sliding seat 4-1, and the clamping plate 4-2 is "L" shaped, and one end of the clamping plate 4-2 is clamped with one of the limiting grooves 3-2;

[0060] A vertical plate 4-3 is fixedly arranged at one end of the sliding seat 4-1 away from the card plate 4-2, and the upper part of the vertical plate 4-3 is rotated to arrange the control plate 4-4, and a connecting rod 4-5 is rotatably arranged on the control plate 4-4, and the connecting rod 4-5 is rotatably connected with the card plate 4-2.

[0061] The vertical plate 4-3 can limit the books on the bookshelf 1-1 to prevent the books from falling over. When the clamping mechanism 2 clamps the books and moves them to the bookshelf 1-1 where they need to be placed, as the clamping mechanism 2 releases the books, the books fall downward under the action of their own gravity. At this time, the lower end of the book contacts the control board 4-4, and the book's own weight presses down the control board 4-4. The control board 4-4 drives the card plate 4-2 to rotate under the action of the connecting rod 4-5, and at this time, one end of the card plate 4-2 is separated from the limiting groove 3-2.

[0062] Since the upper surface of the control board 4-4 is inclined, when the book falls on the control board 4-4, the book will push the limit unit 4 to move under the action of the inclined control board 4-4. At this time, the book can fall between the limit unit 4 and the previously placed book. As the book is placed in place, one end of the card plate 4-2 is engaged with one of the limit slots 3-2 to fix the limit unit 4.

[0063] A spring 4-6 is provided between the clamping plate 4-2 and the sliding seat 4-1.

[0064] The spring 4-6 can keep the card plate 4-2 always in a state of being engaged with one of the limit grooves 3-2. By moving the limit unit 4 on the limit slide 3, the books placed on the bookshelf 1-1 can be limited, which can prevent the books from tipping over and can automatically move as the books are placed.

[0065] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
