Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation technology, specifically to an automatic book-reversing device. Background Technology

[0002] In places like libraries and schools, users put returned books into book boxes. Traditional book management methods mostly rely on manual operations, such as taking books out of the book boxes, sorting them, and putting them back in their places. These processes are extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially in large libraries or archives where the number of books is huge, making manual handling even more difficult.

[0003] With the rapid development of automation technology, more and more fields are beginning to introduce automated equipment to improve work efficiency. In the field of book management, some advanced libraries and archives have begun to use automated bookshelves, intelligent retrieval systems, and other equipment to optimize book management processes. However, for the step of automatically unloading books from their cases, there is still a lack of efficient and automated solutions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the low level of automation in the existing technology of unloading books from their boxes, this application proposes an automatic book-unloading device that solves the aforementioned technical problem.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] This utility model provides an automatic book-folding device, comprising: a device body and a bookcase with a top opening; one side of the device body forms an access surface, and baffles are arranged on both sides of the access surface to form an access channel for accessing the bookcase in front of the access surface; a bookcase flipping panel, which is rotatably disposed on the access surface of the device body via a top pivot; a bookcase lifting arm, which is movably disposed on the device body, extending from inside the device body and passing through the bookcase flipping panel to form a supporting section for supporting the bookcase in the access channel; and a bookcase inner bottom plate lifting fork, which is movably disposed on the device body, extending from the access surface to below the bottom plate of the bookcase to lift the movable inner bottom plate of the bookcase.

[0007] Furthermore, a guide component is provided at the bottom of the access channel. The guide component includes a guide strip and a guide piece formed on the baffle to make the entrance of the access channel wider at the outside and narrower at the inside.

[0008] Furthermore, the size of the book box flip panel is adapted to the access surface.

[0009] Furthermore, the book box lifting arm comprises three arms, with the two longer arms located on both sides of the access channel and the shorter arm located in the center of the access channel.

[0010] Furthermore, there are two lifting forks on the bottom plate inside the book box.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the book box is equipped with rollers, and the side of the book box facing the access surface when it enters the access channel forms a force-bearing surface. The force-bearing surface abuts against the book box flip panel at the force-bearing surface so that it flips as the book box flip panel flips.

[0012] Furthermore, the book box has a clearance groove on its stress-bearing surface for the lifting fork arm of the inner bottom plate to enter.

[0013] Furthermore, the baffle extends upwards to form a book-blocking plate that extends above the main body of the device.

[0015] Based on the above technical solution, the technical effects that this utility model can achieve are as follows:

[0016] In this invention, an automatic book-turning device automates the process of a book box entering through an access channel. Simultaneously, the book box flipping panel and the book box lifting arm move. As the bottom of the flipping panel rotates upwards, it flips the book box, while the lifting arm raises, lifting the book box. Once the flipping panel and lifting arm have completed their actions, the opening at the top of the book box is flush with the top of the device body. At this point, the book box bottom plate lifting fork rises, lifting the inner bottom plate of the book box and pushing the books out through the opening at the top of the book box, thus automating the process of pouring the books out of the book box.

[0040] In this utility model's automatic book-reversing device, after the book box 2 is pushed into the access channel 12 via the guide component 13, pressing the start button 14 causes the book box flipping panel 3 to flip upwards, turning the book box 2 to a certain angle. Simultaneously, the book box lifting support arm 4 rises upwards. After the book box 2 has flipped and risen to its designated position, the inner bottom plate lifting fork arm 5 begins to rise, pushing the movable inner bottom plate of the book box 2 upwards. The books inside the book box 2 begin to move and gradually slide down from the top opening of the book box 2. To prevent the books from sliding down too quickly, the inner bottom plate lifting fork arm 5... The lifting arm 5 rises for a period of time and then pauses for a period of time until the bottom plate lifting arm 5 of the book box 2 reaches the top of the book box 2. After the bottom plate lifting arm 5 of the book box 2 reaches its top limit position, the automatic book-turning device pauses for a period of time to allow staff to clean the books that have not slipped off the bottom plate of the book box 2 due to the stacking of books. After the pause time, the bottom plate lifting arm 5 of the book box 2 begins to return to its original position. After a period of time, the book box lifting support arm 4 and the book box flipping panel 3 begin to return to their original positions, ensuring that the book box flipping panel 3 returns to its original position last to prevent the user from pushing the book box 2 out before the device is fully restored. This utility model's automatic book-turning device can empty a large number of books from the book box 2 in a short time, significantly improving book processing efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0041] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
