Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of barcode scanning equipment technology, and in particular to an industrial internet-based barcode scanning device for food production. Background Technology

[0002] Food processing refers to the processing of grains, feed, vegetable oils and sugars, slaughtering and meat processing, aquatic products, and vegetables, fruits and nuts, using agricultural, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery products as raw materials. It is a type of agricultural product processing industry in a broad sense. In the food production process, it is necessary to test the quality of the food and input the quality information of the product into the corresponding barcode through a computer. During transportation, the batch information of the food can be obtained by scanning the barcode, so as to quickly and easily determine the quality of the food.

[0003] Although existing food production barcode scanning devices are widely used, they have some problems in actual use: When using existing food production barcode scanning devices, food is placed on a conveyor belt, transported by the conveyor belt to the barcode scanner, where it stops and is scanned to read and record the food quality. However, during transportation, the conveyor belt needs to stop and move intermittently, which greatly affects the efficiency of food production and makes the power structure more susceptible to damage. In addition, because the conveyor belt has a certain speed, when it stops, the food sometimes rushes out of the barcode scanner's scanning range due to inertia, resulting in a certain error rate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical solution of this invention addresses the problem of overly simplistic solutions in existing technologies by providing a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies. Specifically, the purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of intermittent transportation barcode scanning affecting production efficiency and structural damage in existing technologies, and to propose an industrial internet food production barcode scanning device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An industrial internet food production barcode scanning device includes a support frame. Belt rollers are rotatably connected to the top two ends of the support frame. A conveyor belt is sleeved on the outer side of the belt rollers, and slide rails integrated with the support frame are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt. Multiple flexible U-shaped frames are provided on the outer side of the conveyor belt. A limiting mechanism for restricting the position of food is provided on the inner side of each U-shaped frame. A second U-shaped frame with symmetrical grooves on both sides of the bottom is slidably connected to the top side of the slide rail. A barcode scanning mechanism that moves synchronously with the food is provided on the second U-shaped frame. An unlocking mechanism that releases the synchronous movement of the barcode scanning mechanism is provided at the top of the support frame and on the inner side of the second U-shaped frame.

[0007] The limiting mechanism includes an adjusting rod, a movable clamp, a pin, and a positioning hole. The adjusting rod is horizontally fixed inside the U-shaped frame and both ends extend out of the U-shaped frame. When the adjusting rod is located at the bottom of the U-shaped frame, both ends are located in the groove. There are at least two movable clamps that are slidably connected to the adjusting rod. There are multiple positioning holes that are equidistantly provided and the adjusting rod and movable clamp are fixed by the pin.

[0008] Preferably, the scanning mechanism includes a baffle, a scanner, a fixing block, and a reset spring rod. The baffle is fitted into the groove of the second U-shaped frame. The scanner is parallel to the conveyor belt and detachably connected to the second U-shaped frame. Two fixing blocks are provided and installed on the inner side of the slide rail. The reset spring rod is located on the inner side of the slide rail and its two ends are fixedly connected to the fixing blocks. The spring on the outer side of the reset spring rod is located between the second U-shaped frame and a fixing block.

[0009] Preferably, the unlocking mechanism includes a through groove, an L-shaped rod, a horizontal toothed plate, a rotating rod, a first gear, a second gear, and a vertical toothed plate. The through groove is symmetrically arranged through the vertical side wall of the second U-shaped frame. The L-shaped rod is vertically fixedly connected to the support frame, and the horizontal toothed plate is fixedly connected to the horizontal section of the L-shaped rod. The rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner side of the second U-shaped frame. The first gear and the second gear are both coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating rod. The first gear is located in the through groove and meshes with the horizontal toothed plate, while the second gear meshes with the vertical toothed plate. The bottom end of the vertical toothed plate is fixedly connected to a baffle, and the vertical toothed plate slides vertically with the second U-shaped frame.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom side of the support frame is provided with a collection box with a width greater than that of the conveyor belt.

[0011] Preferably, the height of the through groove is greater than the sum of the heights of the horizontal toothed plate and the horizontal section of the L-shaped rod, and the L-shaped rod does not contact the adjusting rod.

[0012] Preferably, one section of the striking plate is intermittently connected to the horizontal rotating rod.

[0013] Preferably, when the adjusting rod and the second U-shaped frame move synchronously, the gap between the adjusting rod and the first U-shaped frame is located directly below the barcode scanner.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this invention provides an industrial internet food production barcode scanning device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This invention places the food card between the moving clamps and, through the synchronous movement of U-shaped frame one and U-shaped frame two, ensures that the barcode of the food is always within the scanning range of the barcode scanner during food production, thus ensuring the accuracy and smoothness of the scanning process. It eliminates the need for intermittent transmission of the conveyor belt, effectively improving the production efficiency of food.

[0016] 2. In this invention, the horizontal toothed plate of the unlocking mechanism meshes with gear one, driving the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives gear two to rotate synchronously. Through the meshing of gear two and the vertical toothed plate, the vertical toothed plate moves vertically, thereby causing the baffle to disengage from the adjusting rod and releasing the synchronous movement of the scanning mechanism. Under the action of the reset spring rod, the U-shaped frame two resets to prepare for scanning the next food item, ensuring continuous scanning efficiency.

[0017] 3. The distance between the moving clips of the present invention can be adjusted, which facilitates the scanning of barcodes for different foods, improves the applicability of the entire device, and meets the needs of people using barcode scanning devices in food production.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-6 An industrial internet food production barcode scanning device is provided. To ensure the normal transportation of food during production, it includes a support frame 1. Belt rollers 2 are rotatably connected to the top two ends of the support frame 1, and the belt rollers 2 are connected to an external power source (motor). A conveyor belt 3 is sleeved on the outside of the belt rollers 2, and slide rails 22 integrated with the support frame 1 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 3. To facilitate continuous barcode scanning during transportation and improve production efficiency, multiple flexible U-shaped frames 4 are provided on the outside of the conveyor belt 3. A limiting mechanism for restricting the position of the food is provided on the inner side of the U-shaped frames 4. A second U-shaped frame 8 with symmetrical grooves on both sides of the bottom is slidably connected to the top side of the slide rails 22. A barcode scanning mechanism that moves synchronously with the food is provided on the second U-shaped frame 8. An unlocking mechanism that releases the barcode scanning mechanism from synchronous movement is provided at the top of the support frame 1 and on the inner side of the second U-shaped frame 8.

[0028] In this embodiment, before starting work, the worker stands at one end of the support frame 1 and adjusts the limiting mechanism according to the size of the food to be scanned. The food card is placed inside the limiting mechanism, and the external power source is activated to drive the belt roller 2 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 3 to rotate. The U-shaped frame 1 4 and U-shaped frame 2 8 move synchronously and scan the barcode of the food through the scanning mechanism. When the unlocking mechanism is working, U-shaped frame 1 4 disengages from U-shaped frame 2 8, and U-shaped frame 2 8 resets to prepare for the next food scanning. Example 2

[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 1. Preferably, in order to improve the applicability of the scanning device, a limiting mechanism is provided, including an adjusting rod 5, a moving clamp 6, a pin 7, and a positioning hole 19.

At least two moving clamps are provided and are slidably connected to the adjusting rod 5. Multiple positioning holes 19 are provided at equal intervals and the adjusting rod 5 and the moving clamp 6 are fixed by the pin 7. When the adjusting rod 5 moves synchronously with the U-shaped frame 8, the gap between the adjusting rod 5 and the U-shaped frame 4 is located directly below the scanner 18.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the structure is in operation, the pin 7 is loosened, the two movable clamps 6 are manually slid and adjusted to a suitable distance, the pin 7 is then inserted into the positioning hole 19 for fixation, the food card is placed in the two movable clamps 6, and the barcode is placed in the interval between the adjusting rod 5 and the U-shaped frame 4. The two ends of the adjusting rod 5 contact the baffle 16, driving the U-shaped frame 8 to move synchronously. Example 3

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 1. Preferably, the scanning mechanism includes a baffle 16, a scanner 18, a fixing block 20, and a reset spring rod 21. The baffle 16 is inserted into the groove of the U-shaped frame 8. The scanner 18, model SR-2000, is parallel to the conveyor belt 3 and is detachably connected to the U-shaped frame 8. Two fixing blocks 20 are provided and installed inside the slide rail 22. The reset spring rod 21 is provided inside the slide rail 22 and its two ends are fixedly connected to the fixing blocks 20. The spring on the outside of the reset spring rod 21 is located between the U-shaped frame 8 and a fixing block 20.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the mechanism is working, it scans the barcode of the food through the barcode scanner 18 to read and record the food information, and transmits it to the Internet terminal via wireless signal for recording. The synchronous movement of the U-shaped frame 8 is controlled by the contact and separation of the baffle 16 and the two ends of the adjusting rod 5, while the reset spring rod 21 facilitates the reset of the U-shaped frame 8, thereby ensuring continuous barcode scanning of the food. Example 4

[0033] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 1. Preferably, in order to facilitate the resetting of the U-shaped frame 2 8, an unlocking mechanism is provided, including a through groove 9, an L-shaped rod 10, a horizontal toothed plate 11, a rotating rod 12, a first gear 13, a second gear 14, and a vertical toothed plate 15. The through groove 9 is symmetrically arranged through the vertical side wall of the U-shaped frame 2 8. The L-shaped rod 10 is vertically fixedly connected to the support frame 1, and the horizontal toothed plate 11 is fixedly connected to the horizontal section of the L-shaped rod 10. The rotating rod 12 rotates... Connected to the inner side of the U-shaped frame 2 8, gear 13 and gear 14 are both coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating rod 12.

The height of the through groove 9 is greater than the sum of the heights of the horizontal toothed plate 11 and the horizontal section of the L-shaped rod 10. The L-shaped rod 10 does not contact the adjusting rod 5.

[0034] In this embodiment, during operation, the U-shaped frame 2 8 moves, and the horizontal toothed plate 11 at one end of the L-shaped rod 10 is inserted into the through groove 9 and meshes with the gear 13, driving the rotating rod 12 to rotate, thereby driving the gear 2 14 to rotate and mesh with the vertical toothed plate 15, causing the vertical toothed plate 15 to move vertically, thereby controlling the baffle 16 to move upward. When the baffle 16 disengages from both ends of the adjusting rod 5, the U-shaped frame 2 8 resets to perform the next food barcode scanning, continuously working to improve efficiency. The L-shaped rod 10 does not contact the adjusting rod 5 to ensure the smooth movement of the U-shaped frame 4. Example 5
