However, since the monitoring range of a single RFID monitoring device is limited, multiple RFID monitoring devices need to be placed on the bookshelf to ensure that the monitoring signal covers the entire bookshelf, which increases the monitoring cost. Furthermore, the number of monitoring targets that a static monitoring device can monitor is limited, resulting in insufficient monitoring accuracy and a tendency to lose monitoring signals.

[0012] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0013] Traditional book monitoring methods involve embedding RFID tags in books and using statically placed RFID monitoring devices to read book information within a fixed range. However, since the monitoring range of a single RFID monitoring device is limited, multiple RFID monitoring devices need to be placed on the bookshelf to ensure that the monitoring signal covers the entire bookshelf, which increases the monitoring cost. Furthermore, the number of monitoring targets that a static monitoring device can monitor is limited, resulting in insufficient monitoring accuracy and a tendency to lose monitoring signals.
[0014] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a monitoring device for book shelves that can effectively reduce monitoring costs and decrease the possibility of monitoring signal loss.
[0015] like Figure 1 As shown:
[0016] This utility model provides a monitoring device for a bookshelf, including a slide rail 2, a circulating moving component, and a scanning component 6. The slide rail 2 is positioned above the bookshelf 1 along the book arrangement direction. The rolling end of the circulating moving component is connected to the slide rail 2. The scanning component 6 is connected to the hanging end of the circulating moving component. The circulating moving component is configured to drive the scanning component 6 to move back and forth along the slide rail 2. The scanning component 6 is configured to scan and read the electronic tag information of the books arranged on the bookshelf 1. Generally, a static RFID monitoring device solution requires at least four devices to achieve full coverage. However, by using the circulating moving component to drive the scanning component 6 to scan back and forth above the books, a single monitoring device can cover the entire bookshelf 1, eliminating the need for multiple additional monitoring devices and significantly reducing the cost. Furthermore, the dynamic scanning method improves the accuracy of the monitoring. Regarding the electronic tags, they need to be installed on the inner pages or spine of each book to ensure reading distance and reliability. These electronic tags store the book's unique coding information and borrowing status information.
[0017] In one optional embodiment, the cyclic moving assembly includes a first roller 31, a first drive mechanism 32, a first transmission belt 33, a first lifting line 34, a second roller 41, a second drive mechanism 42, a second transmission belt 43, and a second lifting line 44, wherein: the first drive mechanism 32 is disposed at the first end of the slide rail 2; the first roller 31 is rotatably disposed on the slide rail 2; the first drive mechanism 32 is coupled to the first roller 31 via the first transmission belt 33; the second drive mechanism 42 is disposed at the second end of the slide rail 2; the second roller 41 is rotatably disposed on the slide rail 2; the second drive mechanism 42 is coupled to the second roller 41 via the second transmission belt 43; the first roller 31 is connected to the scanning assembly 6 via the first lifting line 34, and the second roller 41 is connected to the scanning assembly 6 via the second lifting line 44; the first drive mechanism 32 is configured to drive the first roller 31 to rot along the slide rail 2; the second drive mechanism 42 is configured to drive the second roller 41 to rot along the slide rail 2. The first drive mechanism 32 and the second drive mechanism 42 work alternately. When the first drive mechanism 32 is working, it drives the first transmission belt 33 to rotate. The first transmission belt 33 drives the first roller 31 to roll along the slide rail 2 toward the first drive mechanism 32. The first roller 31, together with the scanning component 6 and the second roller 41, moves toward the first side in the direction of the first drive mechanism 32 via the first lifting line 34, so that the scanning component 6 passes over the part of the book in the first side direction. If the scanning component 6 is to pass over the part of the book in the second side direction where the second drive mechanism 42 is located, the second drive mechanism 42, together with the scanning component 6 and the first roller 31, moves toward the second side direction where the second drive mechanism 42 is located via the second lifting line 44. The principle and process are the same as the driving method of the first drive mechanism 32.
[0018] In an optional embodiment, the cyclic movement component further includes a first limiting block 51, a first contact switch 52, a second limiting block 53, and a second contact switch 54, wherein: the first limiting block 51 is disposed at the first end of the slide rail 2; the first contact switch 52 is disposed on the side of the scanning component 6 facing the first limiting block 51; the second limiting block 53 is disposed at the second end of the slide rail 2; the second contact switch 54 is disposed on the side of the scanning component 6 facing the second limiting block 53; when the first contact switch 52 is configured to contact the first limiting block 51, the first contact switch 52 sends an electrical signal to notify the first driving mechanism 32 to stop working, and simultaneously notifies the second driving mechanism 42 to start working; when the second contact switch 54 is configured to contact the second limiting block 53, the second contact switch 54 sends an electrical signal to notify the second driving mechanism 42 to stop working, and simultaneously notifies the first driving mechanism 32 to start working. In order to enable the first drive mechanism 32 and the second drive mechanism 42 to work automatically alternately and realize the uninterrupted cyclic scanning of the scanning component 6, a first contact switch 52 and a second contact switch 54 are respectively set at both ends of the slide rail 2. When the scanning component 6 moves to the end of the slide rail 2 under the drive mechanism, the first limit block 51 contacts the first contact switch 52, or the second limit block 53 contacts the second contact switch 54. Then, the drive mechanism on the current side is stopped by the system or the built-in control module, and the drive mechanism on the other side is started, so that the scanning component 6 moves in the opposite direction. This process is repeated to realize the uninterrupted cyclic movement of the scanning component 6.
[0019] In one optional embodiment, both the first drive mechanism 32 and the second drive mechanism 42 are servo motors.
