[0028] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an anti-counterfeiting mark, which includes: a first mark 10 and a second mark 20 that at least partially overlap each other, and the relative position relationship between the second mark 20 and the first mark 10 is determined according to a preset rule.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present invention, the preset rule is to make the difference between the production time of the first mark and the production time of the second mark random or controlled by a programmable controller. In other words, the difference between the production time of the first mark 10 and the production time of the second mark 20 on each target product is different, so that the anti-counterfeiting mark on each target product is different.

[0031] In another embodiment of the present invention, the preset rule is to make the second mark deflect or shift at a preset angle. In this case, the relative position relationship between the first mark 10 and the second mark 20 on each target product is different, so that the anti-counterfeiting mark on each target product is different.

[0032] In specific implementation, the preset rule can be set to make the difference between the production time of the first mark and the production time of the second mark random or controlled by a programmable controller, and at the same time, the second mark is deflected by a preset angle. It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the size of the first mark or the second mark. The first mark can be larger than the second mark, smaller than the second mark, or the same size as the second mark. The shapes of the two are also not limited. The first mark can be square, and the second mark can be round, etc.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides an anti-counterfeiting mark making device, which includes a product conveying component and a second mark making mechanism located above the product conveying component.

[0034] The product conveying assembly includes a support rod 61, a conveying platform 13, a product positioning plate 11, and a conveying platform speed regulator 15. The support rod 6 is arranged below the conveying platform 13 to support the conveying platform 13, the conveying platform speed regulator 15 is used to adjust the conveying speed of the conveying platform 13, and the product positioning plate 11 is arranged on the conveying platform to position the target product. The positioning plate can be adjusted according to the change of the product identification position.

[0035] The second identification making mechanism includes a second identification printing component 33, a second position sensor 31, and an identification shifter 32. Among them:

[0036] The second identification printing component 33 is used to at least partially cover the first identification of the target product with the second identification to form an overlapping cross anti-counterfeiting identification; the second identification printing component 33 can be selected from a laser coding machine, a steel stamping machine, a pad printing machine, a thermal transfer inkjet coding machine, an inkjet coding machine, a ribbon coding machine, an ink wheel coding machine, a pneumatic coding machine, and an automatic labeling machine.

[0037] The second identification printing component 33 is connected to the identification shifter 32, and the identification shifter 32 can be fixed on the support rod. In one embodiment of the present invention, the identification shifter 32 includes a programmable controller for controlling the difference between the production time of the first identification and the production time of the second identification. By controlling the difference between the production time of the first identification and the production time of the second identification, the anti-counterfeiting identification on different products can be different. In this embodiment, the uncertain positional relationship between the first identification and the second identification is achieved by a group of uncertain time differences alone.

[0038] In another embodiment of the present invention, the marking deflector further comprises: Figure 3 The electric cross slide 35 shown or Figure 4 The hollow electric turntable (i.e., electric indexing plate) 36 shown in the figure, the programmable controller is connected to the electric cross slide or the hollow electric turntable, and is used to control the rotation time of the electric cross slide or the hollow electric turntable, and the second identification printing component 33 is connected to the electric cross slide or the hollow electric turntable, and the electric cross slide or the hollow electric turntable can be located above the product conveying component through a support rod. In this embodiment, the uncertainty of the uncertain positional relationship between the first identification and the second identification is further increased by the uncertain time difference of the electric cross slide or the hollow electric turntable.

[0039] In another embodiment of the present invention, the identification deflector includes a programmable controller, an electric cross slide and a hollow electric turntable. The programmable controller is connected to the electric cross slide and the hollow electric turntable to control the movement time of the electric cross slide and the hollow electric turntable. In a specific implementation, the electric cross slide and the hollow electric turntable can be connected together, and the second identification printing component can be connected to one of them. In this embodiment, the time when the second identification printing component falls is controlled by the programmable controller, and the uncertainty of the uncertain positional relationship between the first identification and the second identification is further increased by the two sets of uncertain time differences between the electric cross slide and the hollow electric turntable.

[0040] The second position sensor 31 is used to detect the position signal of the target product with the first mark; the second position sensor can also be fixed by a support rod. In specific implementation, the second position sensor 31 can be connected to a programmable controller to determine that the second mark can overlap and intersect with the first mark.

[0041] When the second position sensor detects that the target product is close to the position for making the secondary mark, the programmable controller performs an indefinite delay and / or drives the electric cross slide or the hollow electric turntable to move before making the second mark. Since the transmission speed of the conveyor is generally constant, the relative position relationship between the first mark and the second mark can be controlled by controlling the difference between the making time of the first mark and the making time of the second mark. In other words, the difference between the making time of the first mark 10 and the making time of the second mark 20 on each target product is different, so that the anti-counterfeiting mark on each target product is different.

[0042] The above-mentioned anti-counterfeiting mark making device is mainly for the case where the target product already has the first mark. When the target product does not have any mark, the anti-counterfeiting mark making device provided by the embodiment of the present invention further includes a first mark making mechanism, which is arranged on the product conveying component and is located in front of the second mark making mechanism, and the first mark making mechanism is used to print the first mark on the target product. That is, the target product on the conveying platform first passes through the first mark making mechanism, and then passes through the second mark making mechanism.

[0043] In a specific implementation, the first identification making mechanism includes a first position sensor 21 and a printer 23. The first position sensor 21 is used to detect that the object to be coded is in the coding position, and then the printer 23 performs coding. The printer can be a laser printer, a steel stamp printer, a pad printer, a thermal transfer printer, an inkjet printer, a ribbon printer, an ink wheel printer, a pneumatic printer, and an automatic labeling machine. When the first position sensor detects the object to be coded, it sends a detection signal to the printer, and the printer sprays the code.

[0044] On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the anti-counterfeiting mark making device may further include an image acquisition mechanism and a data storage and transmission mechanism. The image acquisition mechanism is arranged on the product conveying component and is located behind the second mark making mechanism. The image acquisition mechanism is used to convert the first mark and the second mark on the target product into image data. In this embodiment, the image acquisition mechanism includes a third position sensor 41, a lighting fill light device 45 and a camera 43. When the third position sensor 41 detects that the mark-making object to be photographed is in the shooting position, the camera 43 converts the anti-counterfeiting mark into image data under the condition that the fill light is turned on to complete the image data acquisition. In specific implementation, when the third position sensor 41 detects a product that has been marked, the lighting fill light device 45 is turned on and the camera 43 works.

[0045] The data storage and transmission mechanism is connected to the image acquisition mechanism, and is used to store the image data and send it to the anti-counterfeiting traceability platform. More specifically, the data storage and transmission mechanism is connected to the camera 43.

[0046] The data storage and sending mechanism includes a data storage host 53, a data sending device 55 and a display operating system 51. The data collected by the image acquisition mechanism is first stored and then sent to the anti-counterfeiting traceability platform by the data sending device 55 via the network or wirelessly.

[0047] The present invention also provides a method for making an anti-counterfeiting mark, comprising:

[0048] S1, detecting a position signal of a target product having a first identifier;

[0049] More specifically, when the second position sensor senses the target product, the programmable controller performs an indefinite delay and then sends the information to the second identification making mechanism, which then performs a coding operation on the target product so that the target product has a second identification, and the second identification at least partially covers the first identification.

[0050] If the target product does not have the first mark before step S1, the process before step S1 includes: printing the first mark on the target product. More specifically, the target product is placed on the conveyor, and when the first position sensor senses the target product, the target product is coded according to the position information of the target product fed back by the first position sensor, so that the target product has the first mark.

[0051] S2. Cover the first mark with the second mark at least partially according to the position signal and the preset rule to form an overlapping cross anti-counterfeiting mark.

[0052] The preset rule is to make the difference between the production time of the first mark and the production time of the second mark random or controlled by a programmable controller, and / or to make the second mark deflected or shifted at a preset angle.

[0053] After step S2, the method further includes: acquiring image data corresponding to the anti-counterfeiting mark and sending the image data to the anti-counterfeiting traceability platform.

[0054] More specifically, when the third position sensor senses the target product, the camera converts the anti-counterfeiting mark composed of the first mark and the second mark into image data under the condition that the fill light is turned on, and sends it to the data storage host. After the data is stored, it is sent to the anti-counterfeiting traceability platform through the network.

[0055] The present invention utilizes a photoelectric sensor and a time control system to produce two marks with uncertain overlapping and crossing positions, which are then converted into image data and submitted to an anti-counterfeiting traceability platform, thus changing the method of only being able to produce cross anti-counterfeiting marks manually. This not only improves efficiency, but also greatly reduces labor costs, meets the needs of product industries with anti-counterfeiting needs, and expands the popularity of the industry.

[0056] The present invention achieves high automation and improves the efficiency of cross anti-counterfeiting mark production through the production method of the assembly line anti-counterfeiting mark. The present invention changes the current situation that the articles to be produced with cross anti-counterfeiting marks can only be produced manually, replacing the traditional manual production, thereby greatly reducing the labor cost. Due to the assembly line operation, the speed and efficiency of producing cross anti-counterfeiting marks are greatly improved, which is convenient for application in commodity anti-counterfeiting industries other than the art industry, and greatly improves the market popularity of the application of cross anti-counterfeiting technology.

[0057] The above technical solution is only one implementation mode of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is easy to make various types of improvements or modifications based on the application methods and principles disclosed in the present invention, and it is not limited to the method described in the above specific implementation mode of the present invention. Therefore, the method described above is only preferred and does not have a restrictive meaning.
