[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the book classification and storage bookshelf of this utility model includes a base 1, a mounting frame 2 fixedly connected to the base 1, a circular seat 3 fixedly connected to the mounting frame 2, a motor 4 fixedly mounted on the side of the circular seat 3 near the mounting frame 2, the output end of the motor 4 passing through the circular seat 3 and fixedly connected to a circular bookshelf 5, the circular bookshelf 5 having evenly spaced placement slots 6, the placement slots 6 having a space adjustment mechanism, the side of the circular seat 3 away from the mounting frame having an annular groove 21, and a rotating ring 22 fixedly connected to the circular bookshelf 5. Ring 22 is rotatably connected to annular groove 21. During operation, when it is necessary to retrieve books from the top of the circular bookshelf 5, the operator controls the motor 4 to rotate the circular bookshelf 5, causing the placement groove 6 located at the top of the circular bookshelf 5 to rotate to the bottom, making it convenient for the operator to retrieve the desired books from the placement groove 6. This avoids the cumbersome process of having to move scaffolding and climb up to retrieve books from high places. Through the space adjustment mechanism, the operator can easily adjust the space in the placement groove 6 to accommodate books of different thicknesses.
[0024] The space adjustment mechanism includes a ratchet plate 10 and partitions 11. The circular bookshelf 5 has evenly spaced mounting slots 7, the number of which is the same as the number of placement slots 6, and they correspond one-to-one. A limiting slot 8 is provided between the placement slots 6 and the mounting slots 7. The circular bookshelf 5 has evenly spaced guide slots 9, which communicate with the mounting slots 7. A ratchet plate 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each mounting slot 7. Multiple partitions 11 are provided inside each placement slot 6. A sliding bracket 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each partition 11. A rotating shaft 13 extends into the mounting groove 7 and is rotatably connected to it. The sliding bracket 12 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 8. A pawl 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 13. The pawl 14 is adapted to the ratchet plate 10. A torsion spring 15 is fixedly connected between the pawl 14 and the sliding bracket 12. One end of the rotating shaft 13 extends to the outside of the guide groove 9 and is fixedly connected to a knob 16. During operation, when storing books, first rotate the empty placement groove 6 to the bottom, then rotate the knob 16 to disengage the pawl 14 from the ratchet plate 10. At this time, the torsion spring 15 stores energy, and then moves the corresponding... Move the partition 11 to the far right of the placement slot 6, release the knob 16, and the pawl 14 will engage with the ratchet plate 10 again under the elastic force of the torsion spring 15. Then, place the books one by one, moving one partition 11 from the left after each book is placed, so that there is a partition 11 between each book. During this movement, there is no need to turn the knob 16; the pawl 14 can move along the ratchet plate 10. Through the cooperation of the pawl 14, the torsion spring 15, and the ratchet plate 10, the operator can slide the partition 11 to divide and place the books according to the thickness of each book. The space inside slot 6 allows each book to be stored independently, making it convenient to retrieve later. After storing a book in slot 6, the circular bookshelf 5 is rotated clockwise. As the slot 6 containing books rotates from the bottom to the top, the torsion spring 15 and pawl 14 hold the ratchet plate 10 in place, so even if the slot 6 is not full, the books will not fall due to gravity. When the slot 6 rotates from the top to the bottom, even if the slot 6 is not full, the books will not fall because they are concentrated in the lower half of the slot 6.
[0025] The partition 11 has a slot 17 and a sliding groove 18. The sliding groove 18 communicates with the slot 17. A pull-out plate 19 is slidably connected in the slot 17. A support plate 20 is provided on the side of the partition 11 near the mounting frame 2. The support plate 20 has a protrusion that is slidably connected to the sliding groove 18. The end of the protrusion away from the support plate 20 extends into the slot 17 and is fixedly connected to the pull-out plate 19. During operation, when it is necessary to take out a book, the placement slot 6 containing the book is rotated to the bottom, and then the pull-out plate 19 is slid outward. This causes the support plate 20 to slide along the sliding groove 18 while simultaneously sliding the book outward. This allows the staff to directly pull the book out of the placement slot 6 by pressing the exposed part of the book, avoiding the situation where the staff needs to insert their fingers between the books to pull out the target book.
[0026] The outer side of the circular bookshelf 5 is provided with a transparent cover 24, which is fixedly connected to the circular base 3. During operation, by providing a transparent cover 24 on the outer side of the circular bookshelf 5, not only can the books in the placement slot 6 be protected to prevent them from falling from a height, but it also makes it easy for staff to directly find the corresponding target book through the transparent cover 24.
[0027] The bottom of the transparent cover is provided with a through groove 25, the size of which is larger than that of the placement slot 6. During operation, the through groove 25 at the bottom of the transparent cover 24 makes it easy for the placement slot 6 containing the target book to rotate to the bottom and match the through groove 25, thus making it convenient for staff to pass through the through groove 25 to directly take out the book in the placement slot 6.
[0028] Nameplates 23 are evenly fixed on the circular bookshelf 5. The number of nameplates 23 is the same as the number of placement slots 6, and they correspond one-to-one. During operation, a corresponding nameplate 23 is set on one side of each placement slot 6, and a letter is written on the nameplate 23, so that the staff can directly find the target book according to the letter on the nameplate 23 when looking for a book.
[0029] Working principle: When a book needs to be retrieved from the top of the circular bookshelf 5, the operator controls the motor 4 to rotate the circular bookshelf 5, causing the placement slot 6 at the top of the circular bookshelf 5 to rotate to the bottom. The operator then slides the pull plate 19 outward, causing the support plate 20 to slide the book outward. This allows the operator to directly pull the book out of the placement slot 6 through the through-slot 25 on the transparent cover 24 by pressing the exposed part of the book. When storing a book, first rotate the empty placement slot 6 to the bottom, then turn the knob 16 to disengage the pawl 14 from the ratchet plate 10. At this time, the torsion spring 15 stores energy. Then move the corresponding partition 11 to the rightmost side of the placement slot 6. Release the knob 16, and the pawl 14 will disengage from the torsion spring. Under the elastic force of spring 15, the ratchet 14 engages with ratchet plate 10 again. Then, books are placed in one by one, and a partition 11 is moved from the left side for each book, so that there is a partition 11 between each book. During this movement, there is no need to turn knob 16, and pawl 14 can move along ratchet plate 10. Through the cooperation of pawl 14 and torsion spring 15 with ratchet plate 10, the staff can slide partition 11 to divide the space in the placement slot 6 according to the thickness of each book, so that each book can be stored independently. By setting a corresponding nameplate 23 on one side of each placement slot 6 and writing letters on the nameplate 23, the staff can directly find the target book by referring to the letters on the nameplate 23 when looking for a book.
