[0040] An automatic file borrowing and returning system is applied to large archives warehouses with an area of ​​more than 300m 2 , storing more than 10,000 volumes of archives, and the number of archive cabinets exceeds 50. There are multiple storage compartments on the front of the archive cabinet for storing archives, and each compartment is provided with a cabinet door. The archive cabinets are arranged in multiple rows in a face-to-face and back-to-back manner. Two rows of archive cabinets facing each other form a management area, and the interval between the two rows of archive cabinets is large enough for transport vehicles to pass. There is a temporary storage table in front of each archive cabinet to temporarily place archive files.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an automatic archive borrowing and returning system includes an operating console 1, an archive information reading module 2, an intelligent operating device 3, an alarm device 4, a transfer vehicle 5, a regional transport vehicle 6, a regional storage table 7, an indicator light (not shown) and a sound system (not shown).

[0042] The file information reading module 2 is set on the operation platform 1. The file information reading module 2 is an RFID reader, which is the core part of the system. It can identify the RFID tag attached to the file through radio waves to obtain the file information. The intelligent operation device 3 communicates with the file information reading module 2 and transmits the acquired information to the intelligent operation device 3. The intelligent operation device 3 retrieves the location where the file is stored and specifies the transfer vehicle 5 and the regional transport vehicle 6 of the corresponding area to work, and sets the transportation route for the transfer vehicle 5 and the transport vehicle 6.

[0043] The intelligent operation device 3 is connected to the operation console 1 to control the operation of the entire system. The intelligent operation device 3 includes a borrowing and returning module and a face recognition module, wherein: the borrowing and returning module processes the information transmitted by the RFID reader, and controls the transfer vehicle 5, the regional transport vehicle 6, the indicator light and the sound to perform the return operation; the face recognition module includes a camera 8 and face recognition software, which captures the borrower's facial information through a high-definition camera, and then the face recognition software compares the facial information with the information in the database to confirm the borrower's identity. In one embodiment of the utility model, the intelligent operation device is a touch screen computer.

[0044] The speaker is connected to the intelligent operating device 3 and is used to announce the storage location of the archive.

[0045] The alarm device 4 is arranged on the intelligent operating device 3 .

[0046] When the file is returned, the RFID reader will first identify the file information and broadcast the file location information to guide the staff to return the file. At the same time, the intelligent operation device will also check whether the returned file is consistent with the borrowing record to ensure the accuracy of the file return. When an abnormal situation occurs, such as the borrower borrowing the file without authorization or not in accordance with the regulations, or the file is not returned on time, the intelligent operation device will sound an alarm through the alarm device.

[0047] One regional storage table 7 corresponds to one management area, and the regional storage table 7 is arranged on the ground at one side of the file cabinet for temporarily placing files.

[0048] The transfer vehicle 5 is used to transfer files between the operating table 1 and the regional storage table 7. Multiple transfer vehicles 5 and multiple transport vehicles 6 are placed in the archives warehouse, and each transport vehicle 6 corresponds to a management area and is responsible for transporting files in that area. The transfer vehicle 5 and the regional transport vehicle 6 are both equipped with a PLC control module, which can receive the control signal of the intelligent operating device 3, and control the movement of the transfer vehicle 5 and the regional transport vehicle 6 and the operation of the manipulator according to the control signal. The transfer vehicle 5 and the regional transport vehicle 6 are provided with a storage table and a manipulator. The manipulator is used to take and place files, and the storage table is used to carry files during the movement of the transfer vehicle 5 and the regional transport vehicle 6. The transfer vehicle 5 is used to transfer the files on the operating table 1 to the corresponding regional storage table 7, and then the regional transport vehicle 6 of the corresponding area takes away the files and transports them to the corresponding file compact cabinet.

[0049] The transfer vehicle 5 and the regional transport vehicle 6 are also equipped with RFID readers on their manipulators, so that the manipulators can identify the RFID tags of the files for accurate picking. The RFID readers communicate with the PLC control module.

[0050] In the return process, the file information reading module 2 reads the file information and matches it with the background data. After face recognition verification, the intelligent operating device instructs the transfer vehicle 5 to transfer the files on the operating table 1 to the corresponding regional storage table 7, and instructs the regional transport vehicle 6 to move according to the planned route to transfer the files. When the transport vehicle moves to the corresponding file cabinet, the manipulator transfers the files to the temporary storage table, and the staff puts the files into the storage compartment. Wheels are installed at the bottom of the transfer vehicle 5 and the regional transport vehicle 6. The bottom of the transfer vehicle 5 and the regional transport vehicle 6 is integrated with an RFID identification reader to read the RFID ground identification to determine the current position. The RFID identification reader communicates with the PLC control module, transmits the identified site information to the PLC control module, and determines the current position.

[0051] A navigation magnetic strip 9 is set on the floor of the archives warehouse to form a route. The transfer vehicle 5 and the regional transport vehicle 6 can walk on the fixed navigation magnetic strip, and an RFID ground mark 10 is set on the navigation magnetic strip as a station. The transfer vehicle 5 and the regional transport vehicle 6 read the RFID ground mark and determine their own position based on the current mark.

[0052] The navigation magnetic strip is set in the passage of each management area and on one side of multiple regional storage tables 7, so that the transfer vehicle 5 can pass through each regional storage table 7, and the regional transport vehicle 6 can pass through each file cabinet in the management area. Usually, an RFID ground mark is set next to each regional storage table 7 as a station for the transfer vehicle, and an RFID ground mark is set between two opposite file cabinets as a station for the regional transport vehicle.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, the transfer vehicle 5 and the regional transport vehicle 6 are an unmanned guided vehicle (AGV).

[0054] The indicator light is set on the cabinet door of the storage compartment. The control device of the indicator light is connected to the intelligent operation device 3 for communication. When the file is returned, the intelligent operation device 3 instructs the indicator light on the corresponding cabinet door to light up, which is convenient for the staff to find.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the borrowing process when using the above-mentioned automatic archive borrowing and returning system is:

[0056] The borrower verifies his identity through the face recognition module of the system, and then selects the file to be borrowed on the touch screen interface of the intelligent operating device 3, broadcasts the storage location of the file, and the indicator light of the corresponding cabinet door lights up. The staff takes out the file with the RFID tag and puts it on the temporary storage table in front of the archive cabinet. The regional transport vehicle 6 transfers the file to the regional storage table 7 according to the route set by the intelligent operating device 3, and then the transfer vehicle 5 transfers the file to the operating table 1 according to the set route. The information reading module 2 on the operating table 1 automatically reads the file information and transmits it to the intelligent operating device 3, compares it with the background database, and completes the borrowing operation after successful verification. The borrowing and returning module of the intelligent operating device 3 generates a borrowing record. If an abnormal situation occurs, the alarm device 4 will sound an alarm.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the return process when borrowing using the above-mentioned automatic archive borrowing and returning system is:

[0058] The borrower puts the borrowed file on the operation table 1, and then records the return operation on the touch screen interface of the intelligent operation device 3. The file information reading module 2 automatically reads the file information and compares it with the background database. At the same time, the face recognition module needs to obtain the information of the returnee. After successful verification, the storage location of the file is broadcast, and the indicator light of the corresponding cabinet door lights up. The intelligent operation device 3 plans the driving route of the transfer vehicle 5 and the regional transport vehicle 6 according to the storage location of the file. The transfer vehicle 5 takes the file on the operation table 1 and transfers it to the regional storage table 7. The regional transport vehicle 6 then transfers the file to the temporary storage table in front of the corresponding file intensive cabinet according to the set route, and the staff puts the file into the corresponding storage grid. At the same time, the device automatically updates the borrowing status and location information of the file to facilitate subsequent management. When an abnormal situation occurs, the device will automatically alarm and prompt the administrator to handle it. For example, when the borrower puts the unborrowed file into the return port, or when the borrower is an unauthorized person, the device will automatically identify and prompt the administrator to handle it.

[0059] The above-mentioned automatic archive borrowing and returning system has the following advantages:

[0060] 1. Efficiency: This automatic borrowing and returning system can automatically identify and process borrowing and returning requests, greatly improving processing speed and efficiency and reducing reliance on manual labor. The system can quickly and accurately identify archive information and borrower identities, shorten borrowing and returning time, and improve the efficiency of archive circulation.
