Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of reading auxiliary devices, and in particular to an intelligent page-turning device for paper books. Background Art

[0002] Special groups of people (such as people with physical disabilities) have difficulty turning pages when reading books, and usually need help from others to turn pages or use special equipment to assist in turning pages. For example, the utility model patent with publication number CN211892582U discloses an automatic bookshelf, including a base, a first sliding groove is provided at the upper end of the base, and opposing threaded rods are horizontally installed in the first sliding groove through bearings, and the right ends of the opposing threaded rods pass through the base and are placed outside, a knob is fixedly welded to the right end of the opposing threaded rod, and a screw sleeve is symmetrically sleeved on one end of the opposing threaded rod placed in the first sliding groove, and a first slider is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the screw sleeve. The automatic book turning shelf is provided with a driving mechanism to drive the page turning mechanism to move horizontally. When the movable block in the page turning mechanism moves from right to left, the corner of the paper can slide to the left, and when one corner of the paper moves toward the spine, the middle part of the paper will arch. The toughness generated by the arch can automatically slide off from the lower end of the rubber block and rotate to the left by gravity, thereby realizing automatic page turning. In this way, it is convenient for people with upper limb disabilities to read. For another example, the invention patent with publication number CN109050052A discloses an automatic book page turning device, comprising a base plate, a page turning unit, and a pressing unit. The base plate is set on the ground via a bracket, a slot is provided on the front end surface of the base plate in the width direction, a stopper is provided horizontally at the bottom of the base plate to prevent the book from sliding, and a support block is provided at the bottom of the base plate; the page turning unit comprises a rotating shaft, a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear, a motor, a fixed screw, a pull rod, and a pressure rod, and the page turning unit is used to turn the pages of the book; the pressing unit comprises a fixed seat, a pressure plate, a first gear, a second gear, and a rocker arm, and the pressing unit is symmetrically arranged on the base plate, and the pressing unit is used to press the two sides of the opened book. This automatic book page turning device can realize automatic page turning of books. The above technologies each have their own advantages and are suitable for different adaptive occasions. However, the page-turning control methods of these flipping bookshelves and devices are relatively complex and require certain physical movements, such as pressing a button to control the page-turning mechanism. This creates significant inconvenience for people with disabilities (such as those with physical disabilities) and provides limited reading assistance. Furthermore, the simple page-turning actions of these flipping bookshelves and devices, such as pushing the page or directly flipping it by sucking it up, can easily result in page-turning failures.

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] See also Figures 1 and 2 In an embodiment of the present invention, an intelligent page-turning device for a paper book includes a base plate 1, a bookshelf 3 is installed on the top of the base plate 1 through a bookshelf support rod 2, a page-turning swing rod 4 is installed in front of the bookshelf 3, a swing rod base 5 is installed on the top surface of the base plate 1, and the page-turning swing rod 4 is installed on the swing rod base 5. A mechanical arm for sticking up the pages of the book is provided on one side of the bookshelf 3 on the base plate 1, and a human head motion detection device (for example, a passive infrared sensor, a motion recognition sensor, a human body sensing sensor, a microwave radar or a camera) 6 for detecting the user's head motion is installed on the top of the base plate 1. Specifically, the mechanical arm includes a mounting plate 7 detachably mounted on the base plate 1, and a mechanical arm base 8 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 7. The top of the mechanical arm base 8 is hinged with a rotating arm 9, and the top of the rotating arm 9 is hinged with a rotating small arm 10.

[0031] A device activation switch (e.g., a touch switch) 11 is mounted on the base plate 1, a book clamp 12 for fixing books is mounted on the bookshelf 3, a plurality of pressure sensors 13 are mounted on the bookshelf 3 and spaced apart from bottom to top, a lamp bracket 14 is mounted on the other side of the base plate 1 located on the bookshelf 3, and a lighting lamp 15 is mounted on the top of the lamp bracket 14.

[0032] When in use, first power on the device, turn on the device start switch 11, place a book on the bookshelf 3, which is suitable for most book sizes on the market. The user sits in front of the page turning device, and the page turning device starts working. The human head movement detection device determines the user's state, and then the bookshelf 3 is automatically adjusted to a suitable position and height through the bookshelf support rod 2. When the user wants to turn the page, he only needs to swing his head to the left or right at a certain angle, for example, about 60 degrees, to complete the left or right page turning.

[0033] Taking the user's head swinging to the left as an example, when the user's head swings to the left, the human head motion detection device 6 transmits the captured information to the microprocessor through an electrical signal, controlling the servo to lower the book clamp 12 and loosen the fixation of the book. A pressure sensor 13 is provided on the front surface of the bookshelf. The size of the book can be calculated through the contact area with the book, so that the robotic arm can be positioned to the page of the book, and the page is stuck by the rubber strip at the end of the rotating arm 10. A tactile sensor is provided at the end of the rotating arm 10. When the page of the book is touched, the tactile sensor sends a signal to the microprocessor to control the page-turning swing arm 4 to start working. Using the principle of a car wiper, it swings to the left and then returns to its original position to complete the page turning.

[0034] The device is equipped with lamps and can be used in a variety of lighting conditions. The light intensity of the environment can be sensed by a photosensor arranged thereon, and the brightness of the lighting lamp can be automatically adjusted accordingly to protect the user's eyes and improve the reading experience. The bookshelf support rod 2 provided by this technical solution can adopt the mature electric lifting bracket or telescopic rod in the existing technology, the rocker base 5 can adopt the mature bidirectional electric rotating base in the existing technology, and the robotic arm can be driven by the mature hydraulic rod in the existing technology.

[0035] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technical solution and utility model concept within the technical scope disclosed by any technician familiar with this technical field should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
