Book homing guide

The present invention relates to a book homing guiding device, and more particularly to a book homing guiding device capable of assisting a library manager to more efficiently place a book on a shelf.

At present, various book logistics units, such as libraries, bookstores, or book rental shops, which provide functions such as reading, borrowing, renting, and buying and selling of books, are usually provided with at least one bookshelf for providing various books. For example, in the Republic of China No. M335192, a new patent for "shelf side seals that can ensure the positioning of books and magazines" discloses a conventional bookshelf; as shown in Fig. 1, the side end of the conventional bookcase 8 is provided with side seal plates 81. The inside of the side sealing plate 81 forms an accommodating space 811 for the book 82 to be placed; thereby, when the book 82 is to be placed in the bookcase 8, only the book 82 needs to be placed on the side sealing plate 81. The space 811 is placed, and then the professional library manager returns the book 82 to the location to avoid problems such as the location of the book 82 being misplaced.

However, the book homing work of the conventional bookshelf 8 is still manual, and the book management personnel must confirm in advance the correct placement position of each book 82 to be homaged, and then place it on the side sealing plate 81. Each of the books 82 of the accommodating space 811 is returned to the correct position of the bookshelf 8; therefore, the book homing operation is easy to consume excessive time cost and human resources.

Another example is the invention patent of the "Microcomputer-assisted book returning cart" of the Republic of China No. 558533, which discloses a book-backed cart that can assist the library administrators in the book homing operation; please refer to Figure 2, the study The car system of the book returning cart 9 is divided into a plurality of book positions by a plurality of partitions 91 for placing the book 92, and the book returning cart 9 is further provided with a text display 93; thereby, when the book management When the person pushes the book back to the front of the bookshelf where the book 92 must be returned, the digital display 93 can be used to guide the book manager to complete the book homing operation.

However, the digital display 93 of the book on the cart 9 can only prompt the librarian of the book 92 of the book, since the shelf does not have a structural design capable of displaying the correct return of the book 92; therefore, the library manager still The book shelf must be searched one by one according to the book code, so that the book 92 can be returned to the correct position on the shelf, so it is easy to cause human error, and the library administrator still has to spend too much time looking for the correct placement of the bookshelf. Location is also easy to spend too much time and human resources.

The invention provides a book homing guiding device, which can prompt the book management personnel to correctly position the books on the bookshelf, so as to improve the convenience of the book homing operation, which is the main purpose of the invention.

The second object of the present invention is to provide a book homing guiding device, which can enable a library manager to quickly find the correct homing position of a book, thereby saving human resources and time cost.
