[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a comprehensive service robot for use in a library, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the integrated service robot for use in libraries according to this utility model embodiment includes: a chassis 1, a main frame 2, an operation panel 3, and a face recognition device 4. Four steering wheels are located below the chassis 1, used for the robot's movement and steering. The main frame 2 is located above the chassis 1 and includes RFID shelves 21, partitions 22, RFID antennas 23, and cabinet doors 24. The RFID shelves 21 are two-layered, with the two layers respectively located at the front and rear ends of the main frame 2. Each layer of RFID shelves 21 is separated by multiple partitions 22, with RFID antennas 23 wound around the partitions 22. Each layer of RFID shelves 21 has two cabinet doors 24. The operation panel 3 is located above the main frame 2 and includes a book placement panel 31, a magnetic stripe card reader 32, a contact card reader 33, and a barcode / NFC recognition device 34. The face recognition device 4 is located above the operation panel 3 and includes a display 41 containing a camera 411 and a microphone 412.

[0024] In one embodiment of this utility model, the chassis 1 can serve as the main moving body of the robot, responsible for the robot's movement and stopping. Four steerable steering wheels are provided under the chassis 1. The four steerable steering wheels enable the robot to turn, change lanes, and make turns with any point as the radius without human intervention. The four steering wheels can use large-sized wheel hubs, which enables the robot to pass smoothly through obstacles on the ground and has strong flexibility in some narrow and curved areas, thereby ensuring the stable operation and continuous service of the robot.

[0025] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the chassis 1 may also be equipped with a lidar 11, two power indicator lights 12, and a charging port 13. The lidar 11 is located between the two power indicator lights 12 and can be used to measure the distance between the robot and obstacles. The charging port 13 is located below the lidar 11 and can be used to provide a charging interface for the robot. The robot can be charged by opening the cover on the charging port. The power indicator lights 12 can be used to indicate the robot's battery level. For example, when the robot is charging, the power indicator light 12 can be red. When the robot is fully charged, the power indicator light 12 can be green. During normal use, the power indicator light 12 can be blue. When the robot's battery is low, the power indicator light 12 can be red and flashing.

[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, the main frame 2 can be a box-type structure and can be fixed to the chassis 1 with screws. Two layers of RFID shelves 21 are respectively installed at the front and rear ends of the main frame 2. Each layer of RFID shelves 21 can be separated by a partition 22, and an RFID antenna 23 can be wrapped around the partition to identify books placed on the RFID shelves 21. Each layer of RFID shelves 21 is provided with two cabinet doors 24. A lock lug can be provided on the inside of the cabinet door 24. Electromagnetic locks can be provided at the bottom middle position of the lower layer of RFID shelves 21 and the top middle position of the upper layer of RFID shelves 21. When the cabinet door 24 is closed, the lock lug and the electromagnetic lock engage to close the cabinet door 24. When an unlocking signal is received, the electromagnetic lock automatically opens to open the cabinet door 24. The RFID shelves 21 can be made of acrylic sheet, and the cabinet door can be made of transparent material.

[0027] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, in order to ensure the concealment of the robot's operation and prevent users from accidentally turning it on, a one-button switch 25 can also be installed below the main frame 2, which can be used to turn the robot on and off.

[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, the operation panel 3 can integrate multiple identification devices. Among them, the book placement panel 31 can be used to place books for reading and identification by the RFID antenna 23, the magnetic stripe card swiping device 32 can be a traditional magnetic stripe card swiper, the contact card insertion device 33 can be a user's second-generation social security card, and the barcode / NFC identification device 34 can be a mobile phone QR code scanning module and an NFC (Near Field Communication) identification device. Through multiple identification devices, the needs of new and old readers can be met without considering the compatibility issues of the old version of the reader's card.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, the face recognition device 4 can use a Pad device as a display 41, and the Pad device can be equipped with a camera 411 and a microphone 412 for face recognition and intelligent voice dialogue with the user.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the integrated service robot used in the library may also include four obstacle avoidance cameras 5. The four obstacle avoidance cameras 5 can be used to identify obstacles. The four obstacle avoidance cameras 5 can be respectively set at the top front end, the top rear end, the bottom front end, and the bottom rear end of the main frame 2. Since the robot's driving route is a planned route, but obstacles will appear on the driving route during the driving process, and the lidar 11 is located at the bottom of the robot, the four obstacle avoidance cameras 5 can make up for the blind spots of the lidar in terms of field of view.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, the integrated service robot used in the library may also include an emergency stop button 6. The emergency stop button may be located behind the display 41. When the robot malfunctions, such as suddenly losing control or deviating from the predetermined route, the robot can be quickly braked by the emergency stop button 6.

[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, the service process of the integrated service robot in the library is as follows: When a user borrows a book, they can log in to the library system to borrow books through facial recognition on the display screen. At this time, the cabinet door 24 opens, and the user takes out the book to complete the borrowing. When the user needs to return the book, they place the book on the book placement panel 31. The RFID antenna identifies and reads the book and confirms the return. At this time, the cabinet door 24 opens, and the user can put the book on the RFID shelf 21 to complete the book return. When the user reserves a book in advance through the reservation platform and marks the delivery location, the librarian can put the book on any RFID shelf 21. The robot can deliver the book to the designated location according to the navigation mark. The user can authenticate their identity through the magnetic stripe card swiping device 32, the contact card insertion device 33, and the barcode / NFC identification device 34. After authentication, the cabinet door 24 opens, and the user takes out the book to complete the book borrowing.

[0033] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a comprehensive service robot for libraries identifies books through an RFID antenna on the main frame. Four steering wheels are installed under the chassis for the robot's movement and steering. RFID shelves are located at both ends of the main frame, with each shelf separated by a partition. RFID antennas are wound around the partitions. A magnetic stripe card reader, a contact card reader, and a barcode / NFC identification device are installed on the operation panel. A camera and microphone are also installed in the display. This design improves book management efficiency and resource utilization, reduces book management costs, and is simple to operate, enhancing the reader experience.
