A mounting frame 7 is fixed to the end of the transfer frame 8 away from the library 1, and the linear rail plate 901 of the magnetic component 9 in the transfer frame 8 is fixed in the mounting frame 7 fixed on the transfer frame 8.

[0040] A further improvement of this embodiment is that the bottom of the book opening on one side of the bookshelf unit 3 is tilted downward from the outside to the inside, so that books can be placed in the bookshelf unit 3 more conveniently.

[0041] A further improvement of this embodiment is that it also includes an RFID system, which includes an RFID reader and an RFID tag. The RFID reader is installed in the book library 1, and the RFID tag is affixed to each book in the book library 1. The RFID reader uses RFID radio frequency identification technology to locate the specific storage location of the target book based on the RFID tag. At the same time, the RFID radio frequency identification technology determines whether the book has been taken away based on the RFID tag. The RFID system realizes automatic identification, borrowing and returning of books, greatly reducing the time and cost of manual operation and improving the efficiency of book management.

[0042] A further improvement of this embodiment is that a control system is provided in the book library 1, which includes a PLC controller and a communication module. The automatic book storage and retrieval library is equipped with a book management system and a touch-screen interactive panel corresponding to the book management system. Through PLC technology and RFID system, the flow of books can be monitored in real time, including borrowing, returning, storage location, etc., so as to timely understand the inventory situation and track the circulation path of books, which is convenient for the scheduling and management of books. At the same time, the borrowing and returning records of books can be recorded, and data statistics and analysis functions can be provided to librarians, such as readers' borrowing habits, popular book rankings, etc., which is convenient for the library to optimize and improve services. By coordinating the PLC controller and RFID system with the book management system, on the one hand, PLC can realize the storage of books. The LC controller can automatically store and retrieve books without manual intervention. The RFID system can track the specific location of each book, reducing the time and cost of manual inspection and search. Due to automated operation and real-time tracking, the access speed of books will be greatly accelerated, making the automatic book storage and retrieval system more efficient. In addition, it can provide faster and more convenient services, allowing users to independently store and retrieve books at any time, improving the user experience. On the other hand, the RFID system can monitor the access status of books in real time, reducing the risk of book loss or damage. At the same time, the PLC controller cooperates with the library management system to securely control the access process. Only authorized personnel can perform access operations on relevant books, making the use of the automatic book storage and retrieval system more secure.

[0043] When in use, first, the books with RFID tags are stored in the bookshelf unit 3. The book management system enters information in advance. After the reader searches for the target book information through the touch screen interactive panel and confirms it, the communication module transmits the command to take out the target book to the PLC controller. The PLC controller controls the operation of each component in the library 1 and uses RFID radio frequency identification technology to locate the specific storage location of the target book. The group lifting platform 4 at the bottom of the bookshelf unit 3 where the target book is stored is started, and the bookshelf unit 3 containing the target book is pushed from the storage area to the empty area, and the magnetic field is adjusted. The front, back, left, and right positions of the magnetic suction cup 908 of the suction component 9 make the magnetic suction cup 908 contact the bookshelf unit 3 containing the target book. The magnetic suction cup 908 is energized to generate suction to adsorb the bookshelf unit 3 containing the target book. At the same time, the magnetic suction frame 5 that adsorbs the bookshelf unit 3 containing the target book is powered off, and the bookshelf unit 3 containing the target book is separated from the group lifting platform 4. The magnetic suction cup 908 sends the bookshelf unit 3 containing the target book to the top of the whole library lifting platform 6. The whole library lifting platform 6 sends the bookshelf unit 3 containing the target book to an empty space at the same height as the access window 201. The magnetic component 9 in the empty area is used to push the bookshelf unit 3 containing the target book out of the access window 201. The reader takes out the target book from the pushed bookshelf unit 3. After the reader takes out the target book, the RFID radio frequency identification technology senses that the book has been taken away, and the book taking information is fed back to the library management system. Then, when the reader returns the book, the returned book information is filled in the library management system, and the RFID radio frequency identification technology will locate the place where the returned book should be placed. The group lifting platform 4, the magnetic component 9 and the whole library lifting platform 6 cooperate to put the returned book in the place where it should be placed. The bookshelf unit 3 is pushed out from the access window 201, and the reader can directly put the book into the access window 201. The bookshelf unit 3 containing the returned books is sent to its original position through the cooperation of the group lifting platform 4, the magnetic component 9 and the whole library lifting platform 6. The RFID radio frequency identification technology senses the return of the book and feeds back the return information to the library management system. Finally, when the access operation is frequent, the bookshelf unit 3 where the target book is located is sent to the transfer box 8 through the cooperation of the group lifting platform 4, the magnetic component 9 and the whole library lifting platform 6. The transfer box 8 temporarily stores the bookshelf unit 3 that needs to be accessed.
