Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a book management robot. Background Art

[0002] In the operation scenario of modern libraries, with the rapid development of information technology and the continuous improvement of readers' requirements for service efficiency and experience, the traditional library service model is facing many challenges. In order to better meet the increasingly diverse needs of readers and improve the service quality and management efficiency of libraries, robots are gradually entering libraries.

[0003] Library robots integrate advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and speech recognition and synthesis, and have many functions. On the one hand, they can take on the task of guiding readers, helping them quickly locate the books they need, saving readers time in searching for books in a huge library. On the other hand, robots can also answer readers' common questions about library layout, borrowing rules, and other common questions, providing instant and accurate information services. In addition, some robots also have the function of assisting in the sorting of books, returning the returned books to their original places according to the book classification rules, greatly reducing the labor intensity of library staff.

[0004] In order to achieve more convenient and intuitive human-computer interaction, the library robot is equipped with a touch screen. This design is mainly based on the following considerations: First, for some readers who are not good at voice communication, the touch screen provides a reliable way of interaction. They can communicate with the robot by text input or clicking options to meet personalized service needs. Second, the touch screen can display rich information in the form of pictures and texts, such as detailed introductions of books, related recommendations, and recent library activities, making the information presentation more intuitive and clear, effectively improving the efficiency and experience of readers in obtaining information.

[0005] If the display screen of the library robot is exposed to the air for a long time, many disadvantages will arise. In particular, particles such as dust and hair suspended in the air will continue to accumulate on the surface of the screen, not only blurring the displayed content, but also forming stubborn stains due to static adsorption, seriously affecting the visual effect and interfering with readers' smooth access to information. And if the display screen is exposed to strong light for a long time, it will accelerate the aging of the screen and also affect its display effect.

[0006] For this reason, we propose a book management robot that can protect the display. Summary of the invention

[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0030] Example 1, reference Figures 1 to 7 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0031] Specifically, the carrier assembly 100 includes a body 101, a protection box 102 disposed above the body 101, and an operation channel 102a extending through the outer wall of the protection box 102; wherein the protection box 102 is hollow, and the operation channel 102a allows the staff to easily extend their hands into the protection box 102.

[0032] The display assembly 200 includes a rotating column 201 rotatably disposed in the protective box 102 and a display screen 202 embedded in the outer wall of the rotating column 201; wherein, to meet actual use needs, the display screen 202 is a touch screen. When the rotating column 201 is rotated so that the display screen 202 is aligned with the operation channel 102a, the user can operate the display screen 202.

[0033] Preferably, the rotating column 201 and the protection box 102 are not located on the same axial direction, and two symmetrical connecting channels 201 a are formed through the end surface of the rotating column 201 , and the inner wall of the protection box 102 is provided with cleaning cotton 103 .

[0034] When the rotating column 201 is rotated, although the rotating column 201 can rotate in the protective box 102, the rotating column 201 rotates eccentrically in the protective box 102. During the rotation of the rotating column 201, the display screen 202 will come into contact with the cleaning cotton 103, so that the cleaning cotton 103 can clean the display screen 202.

[0035] Example 2, reference Figures 1 to 7 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] Specifically, a drying assembly 300 is also included, including a drying box 301 slidably disposed in the connecting channel 201a and a drying channel 301a penetrating through one side of the outer wall of the drying box 301. The drying assembly 300 is used to dry the display screen 202 to prevent the screen from getting damp. Once the screen gets damp, the water vapor is likely to directly enter the screen, causing problems such as short circuits.

[0037] The drying box 301 is used to contain desiccant, and the desiccant dries the outside of the drying box 301 through the drying channel 301 a.

[0038] The outer wall of the drying box 301 is provided with a first installation channel 301b, and the end surface of the first installation channel 301b is rotatably provided with a rubber column 302, and one side of the outer wall of the rubber column 302 extends into the drying box 301; wherein, when the display screen 202 is aligned with the operation channel 102a, the drying box 301 is located in the connecting channel 201a. During the rotation of the rotating column 201, the rubber column 302 will contact the inner wall of the protection box 102, causing the rubber column 302 to rotate, and the rotation of the rubber column 302 will cause the desiccant in the drying box 301 to shake, thereby preventing the desiccant from being deposited and affecting the drying effect.

[0039] Furthermore, when the outer wall of the rubber column 302 contacts the inner wall of the protection box 102, there are two situations. One is that the drying component 300 will be squeezed by the inner wall of the protection box 102 and stored in the connecting channel 201a, and the connecting channel 201a will close the drying channel 301a. This is because the display screen 202 does not need to be dried during use, and closing the drying channel 301a can extend the service life of the desiccant. The second is that when the display screen 202 is not in use, the drying component 300 will slide out of the connecting channel 201a and contact the inner wall of the protection box 102 through the rubber column 302, thereby obtaining a space that is as closed and narrow as possible to ensure the drying effect of the display screen 202.

[0040] The outer wall of the rotating column 201 is provided with a second installation channel 201b, and a speaker 204 is arranged in the second installation channel 201b. A water tank 203 is also arranged in the second installation channel 201b. The outer wall of the rotating column 201 is also provided with a spray port 202a, and the spray port 202a is connected to the water tank 203 through a water connection pipe. The outer wall of the drying box 301 is screwed with a lining plate 303. The cleaning liquid in the water tank 203 will be sprayed out from the spray port 202a through the water connection pipe, and cooperate with the cleaning cotton 103 to clean the display screen 202.

[0041] The lining plate 303 can ensure that the movement of the drying box 301 is horizontal and within the travel of the connecting channel 201a, that is, it can be achieved by the sliding connection between the lining plate 303 and the inner wall of the connecting channel 201a.

[0042] In summary, when the rotating column 201 is rotated to align the display screen 202 with the operation channel 102a, the rubber column 302 in the drying component 300 is squeezed by the inner wall of the protection box 102, such as Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the drying component 300 is received in the connecting channel 201 a to extend the service life of the desiccant in the drying box 301 .

[0043] When the display screen 202 needs to be stored, the rotating column 201 is rotated, and the rotation of the rotating column 201 will throw out the drying assembly 300 through the centrifugal force. At this time, the drying box 301 in the drying assembly 300 will pass through the lining plate 303, so that the drying box 301 slides in the connecting channel 201a. The rubber column 302 will contact the inner wall of the protection box 102, so that the display screen 202 has a relatively closed space in the protection box 102. Since part of the drying box 301 is thrown out of the connecting channel 201a, the drying channel 301a will also be opened, so that the display screen 202 can be dried in a relatively closed space.

[0044] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the drying component 300 does not slip out of the operating channel 102a during the rotation of the rotating column 201, the height of the rubber column 302 should be greater than the height of the operating channel 102a.

[0045] Example 3, reference Figures 1 to 7 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] Specifically, it also includes a pressurizing assembly 400, including an outer frame 401 arranged in the second installation channel 201b, and two connecting grooves 401a are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the outer frame 401, and a pressurizing plate 401a-1 is slidably arranged in each connecting groove 401a, and an elastic member 401b is arranged between two adjacent pressurizing plates 401a-1. A rotating rod 402 is hinged on the outer wall of the pressurizing plate 401a-1, and the rotating rod 402 is connected to the lining plate 303 at one end away from the pressurizing plate 401a-1; a plurality of air cylinders are arranged in the outer frame 401, and the pressurizing plate 401a-1 will squeeze the air cylinder when it is displaced. An air pipe 403 is arranged on the outer wall of the air cylinder, and the air pipe 403 extends to the outside of the outer frame 401 and is connected to the water tank 203.

[0047] Among them, each pressure plate 401a-1 corresponds to an air cylinder, and the air pipe 403 on the air cylinder will be connected to the water connection pipe between the spray port 202a and the water tank 203. When the air pipe 403 transports gas, the water connection pipe will be pressurized, so that the spray port 202a will spray.

[0048] When two adjacent pressure plates 401a-1 are close to each other, each pressure plate 401a-1 will squeeze its corresponding air cylinder to achieve the spraying work of the spray port 202a. The connecting chute 401a will limit the pressure plate 401a-1 to horizontal movement to prevent its position deviation.

[0049] In summary, during the rotation of the rotating column 201, if the display screen 202 is away from the operation channel 102a, the drying component 300 will not only be thrown out due to the centrifugal force, but will also be affected by the force of the elastic member 401b when it is reset.

[0050] When the display screen 202 gradually moves away from the operation channel 102a, the drying box 301 will drive the lining plate 303 to move, and with the support of the rotating rod 402, the two adjacent pressure plates 401a-1 will move closer to each other, so that the air cylinders are pressed against each other, thereby spraying the cleaning liquid on the outer wall of the display screen 202. The air cylinder is also equipped with a valve for inflating the air cylinder (this is also fully recorded in the prior art and will not be elaborated on here).

[0051] It should be noted that when the rubber column 302 contacts the cleaning cotton 103, the rubber column 302 squeezes the cleaning cotton 103 to deform and shrink it. The arrangement of the cleaning cotton 103 does not cause the rubber column 302 to push the drying box 301 to move when it contacts it.

[0052] The outer wall of the water tank 203 is provided with an observation window 203b and a filling port 203a. The observation window 203b is used to observe the cleaning liquid capacity in the water tank 203, and the filling port 203a is convenient for the staff to add cleaning liquid into the water tank 203.

[0053] The end surface of the drying box 301 is provided with a cover plate 301c, and the end surface of the protection box 102 is provided with a turntable 104 that can control the rotation of the rotating column 201. When the display screen 202 needs to be used, the rotating column 201 can be controlled to rotate by manually rotating the turntable 104. The cover plate 301c on the drying box 301 is used to replace the desiccant in the box.

[0054] Importantly, it should be noted that the construction and arrangement of the present application shown in a plurality of different exemplary embodiments are only exemplary. Although only a few embodiments are described in detail in this disclosure, it should be readily understood by those who refer to this disclosure that many modifications are possible (e.g., the size, scale, structure, shape and proportion of various elements, and parameter values ​​(e.g., temperature, pressure, etc.), installation arrangement, use of materials, color, directional changes, etc.) without substantially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of the subject matter described in the application.
