Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of bookshelf technology, and more specifically, relates to a multifunctional bookshelf for mobile library carts. Background Technology

[0002] Mobile library vehicles, as an important extension of library services, are typically converted from medium-sized buses. Their interior space needs to accommodate multiple functions, including book storage, information display, and reader activities. Currently, most mobile library vehicles are equipped with traditional fixed cabinets for book storage. While these cabinets can meet basic book storage needs, they lack flexibility and are difficult to move once books are placed inside, making them only suitable for static storage environments.

[0003] Mobile library vehicles, while in transit, require more or larger bookshelves to carry more books, resulting in significant space occupation within the vehicle. Upon arrival at service stations, additional space is needed for readers to conduct borrowing and consultation activities, creating a dynamic allocation problem for mobile library vehicle space resources. If some book promotion activities are to be moved outside the vehicle, the bookshelves inside the vehicle need to be moved outside, and tables and chairs need to be added, which is labor-intensive and increases assembly and transportation costs. Summary of the Invention

[0043] To address the problem of dynamic allocation of space resources in existing mobile library vehicles, this application provides a multifunctional bookshelf for mobile library vehicles, with specific embodiments as follows:

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The multifunctional bookcase for mobile library carts includes a back panel 1, a modular box 2, a movable shelf 3, and a book placement seat 4.

[0045] In this embodiment, two modular boxes 2 are symmetrically arranged along the vertical direction Y on one side of the back panel 1. Each modular box 2 is hinged to the back panel 1 via a movable frame 3. By using the movable frame 3 to vertically flip the two modular boxes 2 towards both ends of the back panel 1, the two modular boxes 2 can be used as table legs, and the back panel 1 as a tabletop, realizing a quick conversion between a multifunctional bookcase and a table, which can then be used for promotional activities after the mobile library vehicle arrives at the service station. The combined length of the two modular boxes 2 along the vertical direction Y is not less than the length of the back panel 1 along the vertical direction Y. In particular, to avoid mutual interference between the two modular boxes 2 during the flipping process and to ensure smooth docking during resetting, the movable frame 3 can also be equipped with a telescopic sliding mechanism. Before flipping, each modular box 2 is moved an appropriate distance towards both ends of the back panel 1 along the vertical direction Y using the telescopic sliding mechanism.

[0046] In this embodiment, the side of the module box 2 away from the back plate 1 is the window surface for picking up and placing books; the module box 2 extends from the window surface into the inner cavity of the box and is provided with unit layer plates 21, and several unit layer plates 21 are provided along the vertical direction Y, thereby dividing the module box 2 into several layers along the vertical direction Y; several book placement seats 4 are arranged along the vertical direction Y on the window surface, and each book placement seat 4 is assembled and connected to the module box 2 through the unit layer plates 21.

[0047] In this embodiment, before the mobile library vehicle departs from the library, the books to be carried are first categorized and placed on the book placement seats 4. The book placement seats 4 are used to classify and modularize the books. Then, each book placement seat 4 with configured books is connected to the unit shelf 21 and assembled with the module box 2 until each module box 2 is full of books, completing the loading of the multi-functional bookshelves. At the same time, at least one multi-functional bookshelf is configured according to the space of the mobile library vehicle. When the mobile library vehicle arrives at the service station, the staff will transfer each individual book placement seat 4 on the module box 2 along with the books to the outside of the vehicle. After all the book placement seats 4 on the module box 2 have been removed, the empty multi-functional bookshelves can also be moved to the outside of the vehicle. The modular box 2 is then flipped using the movable frame 3, so that the multi-functional bookshelves can be quickly converted into tables and placed outside the vehicle. Finally, each book placement seat 4 is put back into the module box 2 or placed directly on the table of the back panel 1 for promotion, freeing up space in the mobile library vehicle's compartment to build a temporary interactive area for public readers.

[0048] Therefore, this application utilizes detachable book holders 4 as a medium for storing books within the bookcase. During the transportation phase of the mobile library vehicle, the multifunctional bookcase stores the carried books by assembling several book holders 4, and the carrying capacity can be guaranteed by configuring multiple multifunctional bookcases. Upon arrival at the service station, staff can use the book holders 4 to transform the overall relocation of the multifunctional bookcase into the disassembly and handling of lightweight units. A single person can easily move the multifunctional bookcase from inside the vehicle to outside. Simultaneously, the movable frame 3 is used to flip the empty modular box 2, allowing the multifunctional bookcase to be quickly converted into a table for promotional use, freeing up space in the mobile library vehicle's compartment. In other words, this application constructs a mobile library vehicle compartment space utilization system integrating "transportation and storage - outdoor service" through a multifunctional bookcase with a modular disassembly and reassembly mechanism: during transportation, dense storage increases the book capacity, while during service, lightweight disassembly and handling frees up compartment space, avoiding the contradiction of excessive weight, difficulty in handling, and space occupation caused by conventional fixed cabinet storage of books, which leads to dynamic allocation of compartment space resources.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The unit layer 21 includes a guide rail 211 and a support plate 212.

[0050] In this embodiment, the guide rails 211 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the inner side of the module box 2; the two sides of the support plate 212 are attached to or secured to the guide rails 211. When it is necessary to assemble the book placement seat 4 on the unit shelf 21, the support plate 212 can be pulled out from the window surface using the guide rails 211; after the book placement seat 4 and the support plate 212 are assembled, the support plate 212 along with the book placement seat 4 is pushed into the inner cavity of the module box 2 using the guide rails 211, so as to avoid blind spots in the field of vision due to the unit shelf 21 being arranged in the inner cavity of the module box 2, which would make it inconvenient to pick up and put down the book placement seat 4; at the same time, with the help of the guide rails 211 and the support plate 212, the books on each unit shelf 21 can be displayed in a staggered manner when the multifunctional bookcase is used for book promotion, improving the acceptance experience of the public readers.

[0051] In particular, a locking structure such as a buckle, spring pin, or stop can be provided between the guide rail 211 and the support plate 212 to fix the static guide rail 211 and support plate 212 and prevent the support plate 212 from sliding abnormally during the transportation of the mobile library.

[0052] Furthermore, the support plate 212 is constructed with several connecting piles; the bottom of the book placement seat 4 is constructed with at least two positioning holes corresponding to the connecting piles. When assembling the book placement seat 4 with the unit shelf 21, the positioning holes at its bottom are aligned with the connecting piles on the support plate 212, and the positioning holes are fitted onto the connecting piles for assembly and connection; each book placement seat 4 is provided with at least two positioning holes that are paired with the connecting piles, which can limit and constrain the book placement seat 4 and the support plate 212 in the horizontal direction X, while allowing them to move in the vertical direction Y, thus realizing convenient assembly of the book placement seat 4 and the unit shelf 21.

[0053] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 The book holder 4 is equipped with at least one folding handle 41, with its two ends hinged to the two side edges of the book holder 4. When the book holder 4 is statically placed, the folding handle 41 is folded flat relative to the book holder 4, and the gripping section of the folding handle 41 is close to the edge of the book holder 4 to avoid interfering with the placement of books. When it is necessary to move the book holder 4, the folding handle 41 can be pulled up from its folded flat state by grasping the gripping section, and the book holder 4 can be easily lifted with the help of the folding handle 41, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the staff when moving the book holder 4.

[0054] In one embodiment, the multifunctional bookcase for the mobile library cart also includes a rotating base.

[0055] In this embodiment, the rotating base has two coaxially nested movable ends. One movable end of the rotating base is fixedly connected to the module box 2 near the ground, and the other movable end of the rotating base is fixedly connected to the movable frame 3. The relative rotation of the two movable ends of the rotating base can drive the module box 2 to rotate relative to the movable frame 3. When the module box 2 is flipped, the rotating base is used to rotate the module box 2 located below, so that its ground end face, which serves as the bookcase, also serves as one side ground end face of the table. This ensures that after the multifunctional bookcase is transformed into a table, the module boxes 2, which serve as the two side legs, remain symmetrical. This facilitates the installation of book placement seats 4 inside the module boxes 2 on both sides for book promotion and display activities.

[0056] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 The inner side of the module housing 2 is symmetrically provided with several connection ports 22, and the guide rails 211 are detachably fixedly connected to the connection ports 22. By connecting each set of guide rails 211 to the connection ports 22 at different positions, the relative height of each unit shelf 21 and the spacing between adjacent unit shelves 21 can be flexibly adjusted. For example, the guide rails 211 and the connection ports 22 can be detachably fixedly connected by means of slots, buckles, magnets, etc.

[0057] In one embodiment, the book holder 4 is designed with at least one width specification, and the book holder 4 is provided with snap-fit ​​components on both sides, so that each book holder 4 can be spliced ​​together sequentially through the snap-fit ​​components; each unit shelf 21 is equipped with at least one book holder 4. The specifications and quantity of the book holders 4 on each unit shelf 21 can be flexibly configured according to factors such as book type and book size, thereby providing a variety of book storage layout capabilities for the multifunctional bookcase.

[0058] The above are merely optional embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
