[0021] Preferably, the limiting strip is connected to the flange by screws.

[0022] A method for using a warehouse-out data collection device comprises the following steps:

[0023] S1. Start the conveyor belt to transport the express box from front to back until the express box reaches the bottom of the scanner. The scanner collects the label information on the box.

[0024] S2. When the express box passes the scanner, it reaches the bottom edge of the arc track at the same time. The express box is pushed toward the arc track by the main plastic strip on the conveyor belt, so that the front side of the express box is lifted up along the arc track and the box body is flipped backward, thereby switching the express box to face upward and making it receive the scanning of the scanner. The express box is pushed to flip three times by the three main plastic strips, which can realize the adjustment of the four box surfaces in the front and back directions of the express box. The side plastic strip is used behind the main plastic strip to push the express box onto the arc track along one side, so that the express box is rotated horizontally in the left and right directions, thereby switching the side of the express box to the subsequent main plastic strip flipping process, and controlling the different box surfaces of the express box to align with the scanner one by one;

[0025] S3. After the express box has been flipped and read by two sets of main plastic strips and a single side plastic strip, the push racks on both sides of the belt surface of the subsequent conveyor belt push the cam seats on the shaft columns on both sides to rotate backward. The paddle on the cam seat pushes the sliding sleeve downward along the inclined groove through the curved block, so that the engaged teeth between the sliding sleeve and the ring seat are separated and unlocked. At this time, the arc track and the connecting rod are pushed by the express box to deflect backward through the ring seat and open the area on the upper side of the conveyor belt, so that the express box leaves the scanning area and is sent away by the conveyor belt. Then the torsion spring 1 pushes the ring seat and the arc track back to their original position, and the torsion spring 2 pushes the cam seat to drive the sliding sleeve to move upward, and the sliding sleeve is used to lock the ring seat and the arc track. At this time, the arc track cannot be deflected.

[0026] S4. During the process of flipping the express box along the inner side of the arc track, the sliding sleeve is located at the upper pressure-locking ring seat, and it simultaneously pushes the swing arm upward along the head on one side, so that the head on the other side is disengaged from the roller and unlocked, and the roller can rotate freely. The roller rolling on the inner side of the arc track can reduce the friction of the express box along the arc track, making the box body move and flip more smoothly. When the sliding sleeve moves down to unlock the ring seat and the arc track, the swing arm loses its limit and moves down, and presses the head on the roller to prevent it from rotating, thereby increasing the friction between the express box and the arc track when it pushes the arc track away.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] In the present invention, the express box is pushed to flip three times by three main plastic strips, which can realize the adjustment of the four box surfaces in the front and back directions of the express box, and the side plastic strips are used to push the express box onto the arc track along one side of the express box behind the main plastic strips, so that the express box can be rotated horizontally in the left and right directions, thereby switching the side of the express box to the subsequent main plastic strip flipping process, and controlling the different box surfaces of the express box to align with the scanning gun one by one, so that all the box surfaces of the express box will be flipped upward to be read by the scanning gun, so as to realize accurate data collection of the express box without manual assistance, avoid the trouble of manually searching for the information label and manually placing the express box, improve the overall automation level of data collection, and bring better work efficiency through pipeline automatic collection.

[0029] In the present invention, the cam seats on the shaft columns on both sides are pushed to rotate backward by the push frame, and the paddle on the cam seat pushes the sliding sleeve downward along the inclined groove through the curved block, so that the engaged teeth between the sliding sleeve and the ring seat are separated and unlocked. At this time, the arc track and the connecting rod are pushed by the express box to deflect backward through the ring seat, and open the area on the upper side of the conveyor belt, so that the express box leaves the scanning area and is sent away by the conveyor belt. Then the torsion spring 1 pushes the ring seat and the arc track to return to their original position, and the torsion spring 2 pushes the cam seat to drive the sliding sleeve to move upward, and the sliding sleeve is used to lock the ring seat and the arc track. At this time, the arc track cannot be deflected to ensure the stability of the express box in flipping along the arc track, so that the express box automatically enters the conveying process after multi-sided flip scanning.

[0030] In the present invention, an arc track is used to intercept the express box on the conveyor belt, so that the express box stops under the scanner gun, thereby extending the scanning time without causing interference or adverse effects on the scanner gun, thereby increasing the service life of the entire equipment.

[0031] In the present invention, when the sliding sleeve is located at the upper locking ring seat, it synchronously pushes the swing arm upward along the butt head on one side, so that the butt head on the other side disengages from the roller and is unlocked, and the roller can rotate freely. The roller rolling on the inner side of the arc track can reduce the friction of the express box along the arc track, so that the box body moves and flips more smoothly. When the sliding sleeve moves down to unlock the ring seat and the arc track, the swing arm loses its limit and moves downward, and presses and locks the butt head on the roller, making it unable to rotate. This increases the friction between the express box and the arc track when it pushes open the arc track, ensuring that the express box can stably push open the arc track, avoiding the express box slipping along the inner side of the arc track, and improving the smoothness of switching between the flipping scanning process and the conveying process.

[0061] A method for using a warehouse-out data collection device comprises the following steps:

[0062] S1. Start the conveyor belt 1 to transport the express box from front to back until the express box reaches the bottom of the scanner 5. The scanner 5 collects the label information on the box.

[0063] S2. When the express box passes the scanner 5, it reaches the bottom edge of the arc track 61 synchronously. The express box is pushed toward the arc track 61 by the main plastic strip 63 on the conveyor belt 1, so that the front side of the express box is lifted up along the arc track 61 and the box body is flipped backward, thereby switching the express box to face upward and making it receive the scanning of the scanner 5. The three main plastic strips 63 push the express box to flip three times, which can realize the adjustment of the four box surfaces in the front and back directions of the express box. The side plastic strips 64 are used behind the main plastic strips 63 to push the express box onto the arc track 61 along one side, so that the express box is rotated horizontally in the left and right directions, thereby switching the side of the express box to the subsequent flipping process of the main plastic strips 63, and controlling the different box surfaces of the express box to align with the scanner 5 one by one;

[0064] S3. After the express box has been flipped and read by the two sets of main plastic strips 63 and the single side plastic strip 64, the push racks 6211 on both sides of the belt surface of the subsequent conveyor belt 1 push the cam seats 626 on the shaft columns 621 on both sides to rotate backward, and the paddle 627 on the cam seat 626 pushes the sliding sleeve 624 down along the inclined groove 629 through the curved block 628, so that the engaging teeth 625 between the sliding sleeve 624 and the ring seat 622 are separated and unlocked. At this time, the arc track 61 and the connecting rod 65 are pushed by the express box to deflect backward through the ring seat 622 and open the area on the upper side of the conveyor belt 1, so that the express box leaves the scanning area and is sent away by the conveyor belt 1. Then the torsion spring 1 623 pushes the ring seat 622 and the arc track 61 back to their original position, and the torsion spring 2 6210 pushes the cam seat 626 to drive the sliding sleeve 624 to move up, and uses the sliding sleeve 624 to lock the ring seat 622 and the arc track 61. At this time, the arc track 61 cannot deflect;

[0065] S4. During the process of flipping the express box along the inner side of the arc track 61, the sliding sleeve 624 is located at the upper position and presses the ring seat 622, and it simultaneously pushes the swing arm 62124 upward along the head 62125 on one side, so that the head 62125 on the other side is disengaged and unlocked from the roller 62122, and the roller 62122 can rotate freely. The roller 62122 rolling on the inner side of the arc track 61 can reduce the friction of the express box along the arc track 61, so that the box body moves and flips more smoothly. When the sliding sleeve 624 moves down to unlock the ring seat 622 and the arc track 61, the swing arm 62124 loses its limit and moves down, and presses the head 62125 on the roller 62122, making it unable to rotate, thereby increasing the friction between the express box and the arc track 61 when it pushes the arc track 61 away.

7. The method for using the outbound data collection device according to claim 6, comprising the following steps: S1, start the conveyor belt (1) to transport the express box from front to back until the express box reaches under the scanner (5), and use the scanner (5) to collect the label information on the box; S2, when the express box passes the scanner (5), it reaches the bottom edge of the arc track (61) synchronously, and the express box is pushed toward the arc track (61) by the main plastic strip (63) on the conveyor belt (1), so that the front side of the express box is lifted up along the arc track (61), and the box body is flipped backward, thereby switching the express box to face upward and making the upward side receive the scanning of the scanner (5). The express box is pushed to flip three times by the three main plastic strips (63), so that the four box surfaces of the express box in the front and back directions can be adjusted, and the side plastic strip (64) is used to push the express box onto the arc track (61) along one side of the main plastic strip (63), so that the express box is rotated horizontally in the left and right directions, thereby switching the side of the express box to the subsequent main plastic strip (63) flipping process, and controlling the different box surfaces of the express box to align with the scanner (5) one by one; S3. After the express box is flipped and read by two sets of main plastic strips (63) and a single side plastic strip (64), the push racks (6211) on both sides of the belt surface of the subsequent conveyor belt (1) push the cam seats (626) on the shaft columns (621) on both sides to rotate backward, and the paddles (627) on the cam seats (626) push the sliding sleeve (624) down along the inclined groove (629) through the curved block (628), so that the engaging teeth (625) between the sliding sleeve (624) and the ring seat (622) are separated and unlocked. At this time, the arc The rail (61) and the connecting rod (65) are pushed by the express box to deflect backward through the ring seat (622) and open the area on the upper side of the conveyor belt (1), so that the express box leaves the scanning area and is sent away by the conveyor belt (1). Then, the torsion spring 1 (623) pushes the ring seat (622) and the arc rail (61) back to their original position, and the torsion spring 2 (6210) pushes the cam seat (626) to drive the sliding sleeve (624) to move upward, and the sliding sleeve (624) is used to lock the ring seat (622) and the arc rail (61). At this time, the arc rail (61) cannot be deflected; S4. When the express box is turned over along the inner side of the arc track (61), the sliding sleeve (624) is located at the upper locking ring seat (622), and it simultaneously pushes the swing arm (62124) upward along the head (62125) on one side, so that the head (62125) on the other side is disengaged from the roller (62122) and unlocked, and the roller (62122) can rotate freely. The roller (62122) rolling on the inner side of the arc track (61) can reduce the friction force of the express box along the arc track (61), so that the box body moves and turns more smoothly. When the sliding sleeve (624) moves down to unlock the ring seat (622) and the arc track (61), the swing arm (62124) loses its limit and moves down, and presses the head (62125) on the roller (62122) so that it cannot rotate, thereby increasing the friction force of the express box in contact with the arc track (61) when the express box pushes the arc track (61).
