Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of reading desk technology, and more specifically, it relates to a desk with a reading aid device. Background Technology
[0002] As people's demand for reading continues to increase, the functionality of desks, as an important tool for daily reading, is receiving more and more attention. Most existing reading desks are primarily constructed of wood or metal frames, providing a flat tabletop for users to read. Users typically lay books flat on the tabletop to read.
[0003] Existing application number CN202023143983.4 discloses a desk for convenient reading, comprising a desk with a groove at the top and a cover plate pivotally mounted within the groove. A support plate is constructed within the groove to maintain the cover plate's horizontal position relative to the desk. A book-pressing component is fixed to the cover plate, and an auxiliary plate is slidably inserted into the cover plate, its horizontal section being parallel to the top surface of the cover plate. A support member is pivotally mounted at the bottom of the cover plate, pivotally pressing against the desk to maintain the cover plate's tilted position. This desk allows for tilted placement of books and facilitates adjustment of the distance between the book and the reader, achieving a superior reading experience.
[0004] Based on the above, existing reading desks have a simple and fixed structure. Different readers have different reading habits and heights, and traditional desks cannot provide adjustable, personalized reading angles. This forces readers to maintain a fixed and uncomfortable posture during prolonged use, potentially leading to chronic strain on the cervical and lumbar spine, posing a potential threat to their health. Furthermore, most reading desks are equipped with bookshelves above them for convenient book storage and retrieval. However, books located higher on these shelves are easily prone to falling due to slight bumps or vibrations if not placed properly during daily use. This could not only cause accidental injury to those below but also damage the books, posing safety hazards and usage risks. Utility Model Content

The drive worm gear is provided in two sets, and the two sets of drive worm gears are coaxially and fixedly installed on the upper ends of the two sets of drive shafts.
[0011] Furthermore, the anti-drop component also includes: a drive worm gear and a timing belt mechanism; the drive worm gear is provided in two sets, and the two sets of drive worm gears are coaxially and fixedly installed at the left and right ends of the drive shaft, and the drive worm gear and the drive worm wheel mesh with each other; the timing belt mechanism is provided in two sets, and the two sets of timing belt mechanisms are respectively fixedly installed at the lower ends of the two sets of drive shafts.
[0012] Furthermore, the anti-drop component also includes: a first slide groove and a drive screw. The first slide groove is provided in two sets, and the two sets of the first slide groove are opened on the left and right sides inside the bookshelf. The drive screw is provided in two sets, and the two sets of drive screws are respectively fixedly connected to the inside of two sets of synchronous belt mechanisms. The two sets of drive screws are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the bookshelf, and the two sets of drive screws are threaded to both ends of the transmission frame.
[0013] Furthermore, the anti-fall component also includes: inclined guide rails, second slide rails, and transmission columns.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] Firstly, this invention features an auxiliary component. A small motor drives the hinge shaft to rotate, precisely adjusting the tilt angle of the swing plate to maintain a suitable angle between the reading material and the user's line of sight. The reading frame within the swing plate securely holds the book, preventing fatigue from manually holding it, while also accommodating reading materials of different thicknesses to meet diverse reading needs and effectively alleviate neck and eye fatigue caused by prolonged reading.
[0016] Secondly, this invention features an anti-drop component. When the swing plate adjusts its angle, the protective plate is driven upwards and moves inwards towards the bookshelf via a drive worm gear, drive worm wheel, synchronous belt mechanism, and drive screw. The protective plate not only forms a physical barrier to prevent books from slipping and causing injury, but also uses rigid compression to forcibly straighten loose books along the edges of the bookshelf, eliminating gaps and improving storage stability and space utilization. When reading is no longer needed, the swing plate resets, simultaneously resetting the protective plate automatically, without affecting the retrieval and placement of books.
[0017] This utility model has the advantages of assisting reading, fixing books, and preventing them from falling. The tilt angle of the swing plate can be precisely adjusted so that the reading material and the user's line of sight are kept at a suitable angle. Moreover, the protective plate is raised and lowered simultaneously during the swing, which greatly improves the convenience, safety and comfort of use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0027] Example 1:
[0028] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown:
[0029] This utility model provides a desk with a reading assistance device, including a desk body 1, a swing plate 2, a bookshelf 3, a transmission frame 5, a protective plate 6, a divider 7, and auxiliary components. The swing plate 2 is hinged to the upper part of the desk body 1; the bookshelf 3 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the desk body 1; the transmission frame 5 is disposed inside the bookshelf 3; the protective plate 6 is disposed on the upper part of the transmission frame 5; the divider 7 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bookshelf 3; and the auxiliary components are disposed on the upper part of the desk body 1.
[0030] The auxiliary components include: a reading frame 201, which is located inside the swing plate 2.

[0032] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0033] When the user needs reading assistance, the control circuit activates a small motor 4 installed inside the desk body 1. The output shaft of the small motor 4 drives the hinge shaft 202 to rotate. Since one end of the hinge shaft 202 is fixedly connected to the small motor 4, and the other end passes through the desk body 1 and is fixed inside the swing plate 2, the rotational motion of the hinge shaft 202 is converted into the angle adjustment action of the swing plate 2 around the hinge point. The user can swing the swing plate 2 to any comfortable angle within the range according to their own reading habits through a preset control program. The book or document to be read is placed in the reading frame 201 inside the swing plate 2. The frame structure of the reading frame 201 can provide limiting support for the edge of the book, making it easy to read.
[0034] Example 2:
[0035] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it also includes: an anti-drop component, which is installed inside the bookshelf 3.
[0036] The anti-fall component includes: a drive shaft 101 and a drive worm gear 102. Two sets of drive shafts 101 are provided, and the two sets of drive shafts 101 are rotatably connected inside the main body of the desk 1.

[0037] The anti-drop component also includes: a drive worm 203 and a timing belt mechanism 103. Two sets of drive worm 203 are provided, and the two sets of drive worm 203 are coaxially fixedly installed at the left and right ends of the drive shaft 101. The drive worm 203 and the drive worm wheel 102 mesh with each other. Two sets of timing belt mechanism 103 are provided, and the two sets of timing belt mechanism 103 are respectively fixedly installed at the lower ends of the two sets of drive shafts 101.
[0038] The anti-drop component also includes: a first slide groove 301 and a drive screw 104. Two sets of first slide grooves 301 are provided, and the two sets of first slide grooves 301 are opened on the left and right sides inside the bookshelf 3. Two sets of drive screws 104 are provided, and the two sets of drive screws 104 are respectively fixedly connected to the inside of two sets of synchronous belt mechanisms 103. The two sets of drive screws 104 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the bookshelf 3. The two sets of drive screws 104 are threadedly connected to both ends of the transmission frame 5.
[0039] The anti-fall component also includes: inclined guide rails 302, second slide grooves 501, and transmission columns 601. Two sets of inclined guide rails 302 are provided, and the two sets of inclined guide rails 302 are opened on the left and right sides inside the bookshelf 3. Two sets of second slide grooves 501 are provided, and the two sets of second slide grooves 501 are opened inside the transmission frame 5. The two sets of second slide grooves 501 are slidably connected to the bottom of the protective plate 6. Two sets of transmission columns 601 are provided, and the two sets of transmission columns 601 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the protective plate 6. The two sets of transmission columns 601 are slidably connected to the two sets of inclined guide rails 302.
[0040] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0041] When the user starts the small motor 4 to adjust the angle of the swing plate 2, the hinge shaft 202 rotates to drive the swing plate 2, and the drive worm 203, which is coaxially fixed at both ends, rotates synchronously. The drive worm 203 and the drive worm wheel 102 form a worm gear transmission structure, which transmits the power of the hinge shaft 202 to the drive shaft 101. The rotational motion of the drive shaft 101 drives the two sets of drive screws 104 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt mechanism 103 in a constant speed transmission manner.
[0042] Based on the principle of screw transmission, the rotational motion of the drive screw 104 is converted into the vertical upward motion of the transmission frame 5 along the first slide groove 301. During the upward movement of the transmission frame 5, the second slide groove 501 inside the transmission frame 5 forms a sliding pair with the bottom of the protective plate 6, ensuring the stable movement of the protective plate 6. At the same time, the transmission columns 601 on both sides of the protective plate 6 slide along the inclined guide rail 302. Utilizing the inclined guiding structure of the inclined guide rail 302, the protective plate 6, while rising vertically, also undergoes a horizontal displacement along the second slide groove 501 towards the inside of the bookshelf 3.
[0043] This linkage process achieves dual protection: First, the rising protective plate 6 forms a physical barrier on the upper part of the bookshelf 3, effectively preventing books from slipping due to accidental collisions or vibrations, thus avoiding safety hazards; Second, as the protective plate 6 moves inward, it directly squeezes the loose books at the edges of the bookshelf 3 into the bookshelf 3, forcibly adjusting the position of the books through rigid contact, making the front of the books level, significantly improving the neatness and stability of the bookshelf storage, and ensuring that the books remain orderly during use.
[0044] When the swing plate 2 returns to the horizontal position, the small motor 4 reverses its drive, causing the drive screw 104 to reverse through the original transmission path, and the transmission frame 5 descends vertically along the first slide rail 301. During this process, the transmission column 601 slides in the opposite direction along the inclined guide rail 302, driving the protective plate 6 to simultaneously complete the descent and horizontal outward movement, finally allowing the protective plate 6 to stop at the front of the partition platform 7, fully exposing the upper space of the bookshelf 3, making it convenient for users to take and put away books.
[0045] The following points should be noted in this article:
[0046] 1. The accompanying drawings of this embodiment only involve the structures involved in this embodiment; other structures can refer to the general design.
[0047] 2. Where there is no conflict, this embodiment and the features in the embodiment can be combined with each other to obtain new embodiments.
[0048] The above are merely specific implementations of this embodiment, but the protection scope of this embodiment is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this embodiment should be included within the protection scope of this embodiment. Therefore, the protection scope of this embodiment should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
