[0028] Working principle: When reading a book, the support frame 3 and the support rod 5 need to be supported with the help of others, and the angle of the support platform 10 is fixed by the locking nut 9, and the book is placed on the book placement table 11, and the book is turned to the specified page number. The reader can control the bidirectional linear module 1205 to work by voice control, so that the U-shaped plate 1201 is close to the book, and control the rotation of the servo 1202 by voice control to realize the pressing of the book by the pressure block 1203. When the signal detected by the No. 1 pressure sensor 1204 reaches the set value, the servo 1202 stops rotating to complete the pressing of the book. Then, during the reading process, when it is necessary to turn the page, the servo 1202 is first rotated slightly by voice control to lift the pressure block 1203 slightly, loosen the book, but do not turn the book over, and then the page rubbing structure works. Specifically, the No. 1 electric telescopic rod 1302 is extended to make the page rubbing motor 1305 located above the book, and then the rotary motor 1303 rotates to make the page rubbing wheel 1306 contact the book. When the signal detected by the second pressure sensor 1307 reaches the set value, the rotating motor 1303 stops rotating, and then the rubbing motor 1305 drives the rubbing wheel 1306 to rotate to rub the pages. If multiple pages need to be turned, the reader controls the rotating motor 1303 by voice control to make the second electric telescopic rod 1308 located at the bottom. Then the reader controls the second electric telescopic rod 1308 to extend to a specified length based on a rough estimate of the thickness, and then the first electric telescopic rod 1302 is turned to the left. The page turning piece 1311 is extended to insert into the inside of the book, and the rotating motor 1303 is reversed to turn over the pages of the specified thickness. After the page rubbing structure 13 completes its work, the page turning motor 1402 is controlled to rotate to a suitable angle, and then the No. 3 electric telescopic rod 1405 is controlled to extend so that the movable end of the No. 3 electric telescopic rod 1405 is located under the rubbed or turned page, and then the page turning motor 1402 is controlled to reverse to complete the page turning work, and then the lifting and lowering of the servo 1202 is controlled to achieve re-tightening of the book.
