Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of library auxiliary equipment, in particular to an intelligent book returning and sorting system for a library. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the times and the advancement of technology, the emergence of unmanned self-service libraries not only simplifies borrowing and returning procedures, saves readers' time, but also makes library management more efficient. At the same time, through the statistics and analysis of back-end big data, libraries can better understand readers' reading preferences and provide a basis for providing more personalized services.

[0003] In the prior art, for example, Chinese patent with publication number CN214475236U discloses a self-service book return device for a library, comprising an installation box, a slide slot, a sliding cover plate, a storage mechanism, a driving mechanism, a control module and a code scanner. The interior of the installation box is divided into a plurality of spaces by a vertical partition plate. The slide slot is arranged at the upper end of each partition space of the installation box. The sliding cover plates are respectively slidably connected in the slide slots. Tooth grooves are respectively arranged on the lower surface of the middle position of the sliding cover plates. The surface on the rear side of the installation box is connected with a driving mechanism. The storage mechanism is connected to each partition space of the installation box. The surface on the left side of the installation box is respectively fixedly connected with a control module and a code scanner. This patent can prevent personnel from arbitrarily placing books in storage boxes with non-corresponding numbers, solves the problem of books being randomly placed during self-service book return, improves work efficiency, and reduces the labor intensity of library staff.

[0004] However, the above patent has some shortcomings. In actual use, when returning books by self-service and sorting, the above patent adopts multiple drives to drive the opening and closing of multiple storage spaces respectively to realize the book return sorting work. However, using multiple drives to drive the opening and closing of the sliding cover alone will lead to increased costs and waste of resources. When returning books, books are manually placed in the deep sorting storage space, which inevitably leads to the situation that books are thrown away, resulting in the possibility of book damage. The practicality is low, so a self-service book return device for libraries is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Through the set sorting system, a single drive can be used to sort multiple types of books, reducing energy consumption. At the same time, automatic book return transmission reduces the risk of book damage.

[0006] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of the utility model is: a library intelligent book return sorting system, including a sorting system, a scanning system and an alignment system, the sorting system includes two damping slide rails arranged on the upper surface of a bottom plate, and damping sliders are adapted to be installed on the two damping slide rails, the upper surface of the bottom plate is provided with a mounting groove, the inner wall of the mounting groove is provided with a motor, and a half gear is coaxially installed on the output end of the motor, the upper surfaces of the two damping sliders are respectively fixedly connected with a mounting plate and a rack, the upper surface of the rack is connected with the lower surface of the mounting plate, the half gear is meshed with the rack, the upper surface of the mounting plate is fixedly connected with a U-shaped plate, the inner wall of the U-shaped plate is provided with a book frame, and the inner bottom wall of the book frame is provided with a plurality of sponge blocks.

[0007] In some embodiments, a plurality of vertical rods are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate, a same conveying device is fixedly connected and installed on the top ends of the plurality of vertical rods, and the scanning system and the positioning system are both arranged on the conveying device.

[0008] In some embodiments, the scanning system includes a control module mounted on the upper surface of the conveying device, and a face recognizer, a display screen, a barcode scanner and a start button are respectively arranged on the control module.

[0009] In some embodiments, the positioning system includes a U-shaped frame installed on the upper surface of the conveying device, the upper surface of the U-shaped frame is provided with a through hole, an electric push rod is installed on the inner wall of the through hole, a baffle is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod, and an infrared scanner is installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped frame.

[0010] In some embodiments, a slide is installed at one end of the conveying device close to the sorting system, and the lower edge of the slide is flush with the upper edge of the book frame.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages:

[0012] First, the utility model drives the rotation of the half gear by the motor to realize the movement of the rack, thereby driving the book frame to move to a suitable position to sort the books, and finally the books can be accurately dropped into the correct accommodation space in the book frame through the slide. The bottom of the book frame is provided with a sponge block, which can buffer the books and avoid the problem of wrinkles caused by corner bumps;

[0027] The scanning system 5 includes a control module 501 installed on the upper surface of the conveying device 4. A face recognizer 502, a display screen 503, a barcode scanner 504 and a start button 505 are respectively arranged on the control module 501. When the face recognizer 502 senses a human body, the screen is automatically turned on to capture the face to avoid damage to the book and keep a record of the reader. After the barcode of the book is aligned with the barcode scanner and scanned, the information is entered. A single-chip microcomputer is arranged inside the control module 501, and multiple displays are controlled to work through the information input from the start button 505.

[0028] like Figure 2 and 4As shown, in one embodiment, the positioning system 6 includes a U-shaped frame 601 installed on the upper surface of the conveying device 4, a through hole is opened on the upper surface of the U-shaped frame 601, an electric push rod 602 is installed on the inner wall of the through hole, the output end of the electric push rod 602 is fixedly connected to a baffle 603, and an infrared scanner 604 is installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 601.

The slide 7 can further reduce the possibility of damage to books during sorting.

[0030] The specific working method is as follows: when the library intelligent book return sorting system 2 is used, the book is first placed on the conveyor 4. When the face recognition device 502 senses a human body, the screen is automatically lit to capture the face to avoid damage to the book and keep the reader's file. After the barcode of the book is aligned with the barcode scanner and scanned, the information is entered, and the start button 505 is pressed. The conveyor 4, the infrared scanner 604, and the motor 206 are started at the same time. The conveyor 4 brings the book under the U-shaped frame 601, and the infrared scanner 604 can identify the position of the book. The electric push rod 602 drives the baffle 603 to descend, and the book limit is coordinated with the transmission of the conveying device 4 to offset the tilt angle of the book. The sorting system 2 drives the half gear 207 to rotate through the motor 206 to realize the movement of the rack 208, thereby driving the book frame 205 to move to a suitable position for book sorting. Finally, the book can be accurately dropped into the correct accommodation space in the book frame 205 through the slide 7. A sponge block 209 is provided at the bottom of the book frame 205 to cushion the book and avoid the problem of wrinkles caused by corner bumps.
