Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of logistics scanning equipment, and in particular to an automatic marking scanning equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the process of logistics sorting, in order to achieve efficient and fast sorting, items such as receiving boxes are used to return and receive various goods. Correspondingly, when different receiving boxes are loaded with different goods, different scannable barcodes will be pasted on the boxes to facilitate subsequent staff to scan and put them into storage. However, the receiving boxes are repeatedly used items. After being used in different batches of sorting, various waste barcodes will be pasted on the boxes. Since cleaning is time-consuming and labor-intensive, these barcodes are often not specially cleaned by staff. In the next sorting, scanners often cannot distinguish between new and old barcodes, and will repeat the scan on a box until the correct barcode is scanned. As a result, these waste barcodes greatly increase working hours, reduce efficiency, and increase work costs. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The specific implementation modes of the present invention are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to make the technical solutions of the present invention easier to understand and grasp.

[0023] Example:

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic marking scanning device, which is mainly used for scanning barcodes and marking waste barcodes in logistics sorting, receiving and returning goods.

[0025] This embodiment includes a shell 11, on which a code reader 13 is hinged, and a handle 14 for holding is provided on the lower side of the shell 11. The user holds the handle 14 and aligns the code reader 13 with the barcode for scanning. The shell 11 is provided with two positioning plates 60 at the opening of the inner cavity 12. The user places the two positioning plates 60 on both sides of the barcode for alignment, so that the code reader 13 can scan the barcode accurately and quickly.

[0026] There are generally multiple waste barcodes on a logistics receiving box. This embodiment is used to scan and mark these waste barcodes during the scanning work. At the same time, the new barcode becomes a waste barcode after scanning, and it will also be marked after scanning. After the waste barcode is marked, the user can quickly identify the new and old barcodes in subsequent use, eliminating the need for multiple reciprocating scanning operations. In order to achieve this marking function, this embodiment is provided with an inner cavity 12 with a single-side opening in the shell 11, and a marking mechanism that moves along the single-side opening direction is provided in the inner cavity 12. The marking mechanism includes a movable connecting plate 31 and a connecting plate 31 provided on the connecting plate 31. The seal 32 on the connecting plate 31 has a slide groove 38 on one side wall of the inner cavity 12, and a slider 37 is slidably provided in the slide groove 38. One end of the connecting plate 31 is hinged to the slider 37. The slide groove 38 and the slider 37 ensure that the connecting plate 31 can move straight and smoothly in the inner cavity 12. A protruding baffle is provided on the end of the slider 37 close to the opening of the inner cavity 12. The baffle is used to resist the connecting plate 31 when the connecting plate 31 is rotated to be parallel to the opening surface of the inner cavity 12, so that when the seal 32 is to imprint a barcode, the seal 32 can remain parallel to the barcode and imprint smoothly.

[0027] Among them, the shell 11 includes a scanning state and a marking state. In the scanning state, the marking mechanism is located in the inner cavity 12, and the code reader 13 blocks the single-side opening of the inner cavity 12. After the barcode is aligned and scanned, it enters the marking state, and the code reader 13 is rotated to expose the opening of the inner cavity 12. The seal 32 is driven to move to the opening of the inner cavity 12 through the connecting plate 31, and is limited by the blocking piece of the slider 37 to be parallel to the opening of the inner cavity 12, and then the seal 32 is flatly imprinted on the barcode to mark the barcode. Then the connecting plate 31 and the seal 32 return to their original positions, and the code reader 13 returns to block the opening of the inner cavity 12 to return to the scanning state, thereby realizing a complete scanning and marking action.

[0028] The housing 11 is provided with a rotating mechanism for driving the code reader 13 to rotate, and the rotating mechanism includes a through slot 21 opened on the upper wall of the inner cavity 12, and a first screw 24 is rotatably provided in the through slot 21. A first threaded block 23 is slidably provided on the through slot 21, and the first threaded block 23 is connected to the first screw 24 through threads. A connecting rod 22 is hinged on the first threaded block 23, and the other end of the connecting rod 22 is hinged to the upper end of the code reader 13. The first screw 24 is driven to rotate to drive the first threaded block 23 to slide, and then the code reader 13 is pulled by the connecting rod 22 to rotate.

[0029] The inner cavity 12 is provided with a moving mechanism for driving the marking mechanism to move, and the moving mechanism includes a second screw rod 26 rotatably arranged on the side wall of the inner cavity 12, and the second screw rod 26 is threadedly connected to a second threaded block 35, and the second threaded block 35 is slidably connected to the slide groove 38. The second threaded block 35 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting plate 31 with a push-pull rod 34, and the other end of the push-pull rod 34 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 31. The second screw 26 is driven to rotate to drive the second threaded block 35 to slide, and then the connecting plate 31 is driven to move through the push-pull rod 34.

[0030] It should be added that the push-pull rod 34 and the connecting plate 31 are always connected. In order to ensure smooth movement between the two, the configuration in this embodiment is to provide an inner groove on the connecting plate 31, and a sliding member is connected to the inner groove for transverse sliding, and the push-pull rod 34 is extended into the inner groove and hinged to the sliding member. Then, when the push-pull rod 34 drives the connecting plate 31 to move, it drives the connecting plate 31 to move by pushing the sliding member, thereby achieving that the push-pull rod 34 can slide relative to the connecting plate 31 and rotate relative to the sliding member, thereby achieving smooth movement.

[0031] In order to realize linkage between the actions of the code reader 13 and the marking mechanism, the second screw 26 is parallel to the first screw 24, the first screw 24 is provided with a driven wheel 25, the second screw 26 is provided with a driving wheel 27, the driven wheel 25 is meshed with the driving wheel 27, and a motor 50 for driving the second screw 26 to rotate is provided on one side of the housing 11, and the motor 50 is electrically connected to the code reader 13.

[0032] After the code reader 13 scans the barcode, the motor 50 starts to drive the second screw 26 to rotate, and drives the first screw 24 to rotate through the transmission of the driving wheel 27 and the driven wheel 25. At this time, the first screw 24 drives the first threaded block 23 to move toward the side away from the opening of the inner cavity 12, so as to drive the code reader 13 to rotate upward through the connecting rod 22 to expose the opening of the inner cavity 12. At the same time, the second screw 26 drives the second threaded block 35 to move toward the side close to the opening of the inner cavity 12, and then pushes the connecting plate 31 through the push-pull rod 34. The connecting plate 31 is guided by the slider 37 and the slide groove 38 and moves smoothly toward the opening of the inner cavity 12 until the slider 37 moves to the end of the slide groove 38. The connecting plate 31 is pushed by the push-pull rod 34 and rotates along the slider 37 until it is resisted by the blocking piece and is parallel to the opening surface of the inner cavity 12. At this time, the seal 32 is imprinted on the barcode to mark the barcode.

[0033] Then the motor 50 rotates in the reverse direction, and drives the code reader 13 and the marking mechanism to return to the scanning state through the transmission mechanism.

[0034] The pigment on the seal 32 needs to be constantly replenished during use, and in long-term use, the seal 32 and the ink pad are exposed to the air for a long time, which will cause moisture evaporation and then become dry and hard, affecting the imprinting effect of the seal 32. The present embodiment also provides a covering mechanism in the inner cavity 12 to cover the seal 32 in the scanning state, and the covering mechanism includes an ink pad plate 40 rotatably connected to the wall of the inner cavity 12, and the ink pad plate 40 is provided with a covering frame 41 on a side facing the seal 32, and the covering frame 41 is provided with a notch on the side close to the opening of the inner cavity 12 for the seal 32 to escape.

[0035] In the scanning state, the ink plate 40 remains parallel to the connecting plate 31, and the seal 32 is covered by the covering frame 41. The seal 32 abuts against the ink plate 40, so that the paint remains attached to the seal 32, and the contact area between the seal 32 and the ink plate 40 and the air is reduced, slowing down the evaporation of moisture in the seal 32 and the ink plate 40. When the barcode is to be embossed, the connecting plate 31 is pushed by the push-pull rod 34 to move the seal 32. Due to the notch of the covering frame 41, the connecting plate 31 can smoothly slide the seal 32 out of the covering frame 41 and push the ink plate 40 against the side wall of the inner cavity 12 to facilitate subsequent embossing operations.

[0036] In order to achieve the return of the ink plate 40, a return plate 42 is provided in the inner cavity 12 along the opening direction of the inner cavity 12, and the return plate 42 is located on the side of the second threaded block 35 away from the opening of the inner cavity 12. A guide rod 43 is hinged between the return plate 42 and the ink plate 40. When the ink plate 40 is pushed against the side wall of the inner cavity 12, the guide rod 43 will drive the return plate 42 to move a distance toward the opening of the inner cavity 12. When the motor 50 reverses and drives the second screw rod 26 to reverse, the push-pull rod 34 is driven to return through the second threaded block 35, and then the connecting plate 31 and the seal 32 are pulled back. When the second threaded block 35 returns, it will abut against the return plate 42 to drive the return plate 42 to return, and then the ink plate 40 is pulled back through the guide rod 43, so as to drive the covering frame 41 to cover the seal 32 again.

[0037] The above are only typical examples of the present invention. In addition, the present invention may have many other specific implementations. Any technical solutions formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation shall fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
