[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown
[0024] The self-service book borrowing and returning machine includes a main body 1 and a base 2. The main body 1 is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the base 2. A touch screen 3 is installed on the top of the main body 1. An RFID book sensing area 4 is located on one side of the main body 1, below the touch screen 3. A barcode scanning area 5 is located on the main body 1, next to the touch screen 3. Through the touch screen 3, the RFID book sensing area 4, and the barcode scanning area 5, readers can complete operations such as borrowing, returning, searching, and renewing books on the self-service book borrowing and returning machine. Symmetrically arranged mounting bases 7 are fixedly installed on one side of the main body 1. The same mounting rod 12 is rotatably installed on opposite sides of the mounting bases 7. A connecting seat 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the middle of the mounting rod 12. A shelf 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting seat 13. A mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shelf 6. The mounting frame 10 has a rotating shaft 17 at its bottom. A connecting rod 14 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the shaft 17. A support rod 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 14. A support leg 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod 8. A limit plate 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 10. The bottom of the limit plate 15 contacts the outer wall of one side of the connecting rod 14. If the reader borrows a lot of books, the shelf 6 can be unfolded to a horizontal state. At this time, the support leg 9 contacts the ground. Through the support rod 8, mounting frame 10, connecting rod 14 and shaft 17, and with the bottom of the limit plate 15 in contact with the outer wall of the connecting rod 14, the shelf 6 can be stably supported. This makes it easier for readers to temporarily place a lot of books on the shelf 6, reducing the reader's burden. Then, they can borrow and return books at the self-service book borrowing and returning machine.
[0025] In a specific embodiment, a limiting block 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the machine body 1. The limiting block 11 has a mounting hole 18, and the inner wall of the mounting hole 18 has an internal thread. A threaded rod 19 is threaded into the mounting hole 18, and a positioning rod 20 is installed at the end of the threaded rod 19. A knob 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod 19 away from the positioning rod 20. A positioning groove 16 is provided on one side of the shelf 6, and the positioning rod 20 is adapted to the positioning groove 16. When the self-service book borrowing and returning machine is idle, it can be activated by... The mounting rod 12 and connecting seat 13 are used to flip the shelf 6 so that the shelf 6 is flipped to a vertical position. At this time, a positioning groove 16 is opened on one side of the shelf 6, located on the side of the positioning rod 20. Then, the threaded rod 19 is rotated by the knob 21 so that the threaded rod 19 moves in the mounting hole 18 and can drive the positioning rod 20 to move until the positioning rod 20 moves into the positioning groove 16, thereby achieving the positioning effect of the shelf 6 and realizing the storage of the shelf 6.
[0026] The implementation principle of the self-service book borrowing and returning machine in this embodiment is as follows:
[0027] In practical use, the touch screen 3, RFID book sensing area 4, and barcode scanning area 5 allow readers to complete borrowing, returning, searching, and renewing books on the self-service book lending and returning machine. If a reader borrows a large number of books, the shelf 6 can be unfolded to a horizontal position. At this time, the support legs 9 are in contact with the ground. Through the support rod 8, mounting frame 10, connecting rod 14, and shaft 17, and with the bottom end of the limiting plate 15 in contact with the outer wall of the connecting rod 14, stable support can be achieved for the shelf 6. This allows readers to temporarily place a large number of books on the shelf 6, reducing their burden, and then they can continue reading. The self-service book borrowing and returning machine allows users to borrow and return books. When the machine is idle, the mounting rod 12 and connecting seat 13 are used to flip the shelf 6 so that it is in a vertical position. At this time, a positioning groove 16 is provided on one side of the shelf 6, located on the side of the positioning rod 20. Then, the threaded rod 19 is rotated by the knob 21, so that the threaded rod 19 moves in the mounting hole 18 and can drive the positioning rod 20 to move until the positioning rod 20 moves into the positioning groove 16, thereby achieving the positioning effect of the shelf 6 and realizing the storage of the shelf 6.
