[0002] In libraries, schools and other places, users will put returned books into book boxes. Traditional book management methods mostly rely on manual operations, such as taking books out of book boxes, sorting them, and returning them to their original places. These processes are extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially in large libraries or information rooms. The number of books is huge, and manual handling seems to be beyond one's ability.

[0003] With the rapid development of automation technology, more and more fields have begun to try to introduce automation equipment to improve work efficiency. In the field of book management, some advanced libraries and reference rooms have begun to use automated bookshelves, intelligent retrieval systems and other equipment to optimize the book management process. However, there is still a lack of efficient and automated solutions for the automatic pouring of books from book boxes. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the technical problem of low automation in the process of pouring books out of book boxes in the prior art, the present application proposes an automatic book pouring device to solve the above technical problem.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] The present invention provides an automatic book-turning device, comprising: a device body and a book box with an opening on the top, wherein one side of the device body is formed as an access surface, and baffles are arranged on both sides of the access surface to form an access channel for accessing the book box in front of the access surface; a book box flip panel, wherein the book box flip panel is rotatably arranged at the access surface of the device body through a rotating shaft at the top; a book box lifting support arm, wherein the book box lifting support arm can be lifted and arranged on the device body, wherein the book box lifting support arm extends from the inside of the device body and passes through the book box flip panel to form a supporting section for supporting the book box on the access channel; and a book box inner bottom plate lifting fork arm, wherein the book box inner bottom plate lifting fork arm can be lifted and arranged on the device body, wherein the book box inner bottom plate lifting fork arm extends from the access surface to below the bottom plate of the book box to lift the movable inner bottom plate of the book box.

[0007] Furthermore, a guide assembly is disposed at the bottom of the access channel, and the guide assembly includes guide strips and guide sheets formed on the baffle, so that the entrance of the access channel is wide outside and narrow inside.

[0008] Furthermore, the size of the flip panel of the book box is adapted to the access surface.

[0009] Furthermore, the book box lifting arms include three arms, two longer arms are located at both sides of the access channel, and a shorter arm is located in the center of the access channel.

[0010] Furthermore, the book box has two inner bottom plate lifting fork arms.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the book box is provided with rollers, and when the book box enters the access channel, a side facing the access surface forms a force-bearing surface, and the force-bearing surface abuts against a flip panel of the book box at the force-bearing surface to flip along with the flipping of the flip panel of the book box.

[0012] Furthermore, a clearance groove for the lifting fork arm of the inner bottom plate of the book box to enter is opened on the force-bearing surface of the book box.

[0013] Furthermore, the baffle plate extends toward the top to form a book stopper that is higher than the device body.
