Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of logistics operation management technology, specifically to an outbound scanning device for logistics operation management. Background Technology
[0002] Logistics operations management refers to the management activities of effectively organizing, planning, controlling, and coordinating the logistics operation process. It covers all aspects of logistics, including supplier selection, procurement planning, transportation arrangements, warehousing management, order processing, and logistics information systems. Outbound scanning of logistics goods is included in the warehouse management process. That is, according to order requirements and outbound plans, goods in the warehouse are scanned for outbound according to prescribed procedures and methods. By scanning outbound goods, the quantity and related information of outbound goods can be updated and recorded in a timely manner to facilitate the storage and scheduling of goods in the physical warehouse.
[0003] Outbound scanning equipment is used to scan and record goods when they leave the warehouse. It can read barcodes or QR codes on goods, convert the scanning results into digital information, and record relevant outbound information. Outbound scanning equipment is often used in conjunction with conveyor systems.
[0004] However, when using outbound scanning equipment, due to prolonged use in an open environment where dust and other dirt may exist, dust can accumulate on the scanning lens. This can cause scanning failures or errors when scanning barcodes or QR codes on goods. Consequently, the scanning equipment will record failed or incorrect outbound information, causing inconvenience to the storage and scheduling of goods in the warehouse, and reducing the level of warehouse management and the overall efficiency of logistics operations.
[0005] During the use of outbound scanning equipment, the external environment is always kept in a light environment. However, because the surface of the barcode or QR code information sheet of some goods may be very smooth, the light shining on the information sheet may be reflected onto the lens body under external light, thus causing the outbound scanning equipment to make scanning errors.
[0006] In addition, some goods may be placed incorrectly on the conveyor belt, causing the barcodes or QR codes on the goods to be outside the scanning range of the camera body. This can lead to the outbound scanning equipment missing or mis-scanning, thereby reducing the accuracy of the scanning and affecting the efficiency of goods leaving the warehouse, increasing the cost and time of logistics operation and management.

[0020] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0021] The outbound scanning device for logistics operation management provided by this invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. Through the cooperation of the gas storage component and the lens protection component, the lens protection component is triggered to open or close every time the scanning equipment is used and turned off. When the scanning equipment is turned on, the lens protection component opens simultaneously, and the gas storage component compresses gas, which is sprayed onto the surface of the scanning lens to blow away dust. At the same time, the lens brush also rolls and sweeps away the dust on the scanning lens. In this way, the dust on the scanning lens is removed every time the scanning equipment is turned on or off, keeping the scanning lens clean and tidy. This prevents scanning failures or errors, improves the efficiency of outbound scanning, reduces logistics costs, and ensures the safe and timely delivery of goods.
[0023] 2. By coordinating the pushing and conveying mechanisms, when the goods on the conveyor belt are not positioned correctly, the transmission component transmits power to the reciprocating motion component. This causes the reciprocating motion component to continuously reciprocate along the conveyor belt with the curved plate, thereby pushing the goods on the conveyor belt and moving them into the effective scanning range of the scanning equipment. This allows the goods on the conveyor belt to be accurately scanned by the scanning lens while being transported continuously. This effectively avoids missed scans or mis-scans by the outbound scanning equipment and improves the accuracy of the outbound scanning equipment, thus ensuring the accuracy and timeliness of the outbound information of the logistics goods.
[0024] 3. Through the coordination of the conveyor mechanism, the curved plate, and the lens protection components, the curved plate can block light from the front and back sides of the equipment when the goods move under the scanning lens. Simultaneously, the light-shielding plate prevents light from the left and right sides of the equipment from affecting the scanning device. This avoids strong light shining on the barcode or QR code information sheet, preventing reflection and interference with the scanning equipment. This effectively avoids scanning errors by the outbound scanning equipment and reduces time wasted due to incorrect scanning. While improving the scanning accuracy of the equipment, it also reduces the cost and time of logistics operation and management. Furthermore, this multi-functional component can improve work efficiency and save time and effort. Attached Figure Description

[0052] The scanning assembly 52 includes a cuboid scanning housing 521 fixedly connected to the bottom of the power source housing 511. A scanning port is provided at the bottom of the cuboid scanning housing 521. A scanning lens 522 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the scanning port.

The information scanned by the scanning component 52 is transmitted to an external computer via a data cable for processing. The scanning component 52 is turned on or off by the external computer. At the same time, the motor 515 is connected to the external device via an external line. The starting of the motor 515 is also controlled by the external computer.

A transmission rack 539 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the gas storage shells 531 that are close to each other. As the compression plates 537 approach each other, the gas inside the gas storage shell 531 will be gradually squeezed into the gas groove 526. Since the volume of the gas groove 526 is relatively small, the gas entering the gas groove 526 will be ejected at high speed from the blowing hole 527, thereby impacting the dust on the scanning lens 522 and blowing it off.
[0054] The lens protection assembly 54 includes two cover plates 541 slidably connected to the bottom of a cuboid scanning housing 521. A light-shielding plate 542 is fixedly connected to one of the opposite ends of each cover plate 541. Two trapezoidal sliding strips 543 are fixedly connected to the top of each cover plate 541, and these strips are slidably connected to sliding grooves 523. An L-shaped rack 544 is fixedly connected to one of the opposite ends of each cover plate 541, and these racks mesh with the upper and lower sides of a transmission gear 516, respectively. A storage opening is provided at the adjacent ends of each cover plate 541, and a lens brush 545 is rotatably connected to the storage opening on each cover plate 541. Both ends of the light-shielding plate 542 have outwardly extending... A cylindrical rod passes through the cover plate 541. Sliding gears 546 are fixedly connected to both ends of the cylindrical rod on the lens brush 545, and all four sliding gears 546 mesh with the transmission rack 539. As the cover plate 541 moves, the lens brush 545 rotates continuously, thus removing dust from the scanning lens 522. However, since the lens brush 545 is cylindrical, even when the cover plate 541 is closed, although the two lens brushes 545 cannot completely clean the scanning lens 522, they can completely clean the scanning lens 522 when used in conjunction with the air storage component 53. Furthermore, the light-shielding plate 542 is connected to the cover plate 541 at a certain angle, thus blocking interference from external light.
[0055] The following is the complete working process and working principle of the above embodiments:
[0056] First, when the operator opens the scanning component 52, motor 1 515 is triggered and starts. Motor 1 515 drives the power gear 514 to rotate counterclockwise, while the power gear 514 drives the transmission gear 2 513 to rotate clockwise. The rotating rod 512 will also rotate clockwise synchronously. When the rotating rod 512 rotates, the transmission gear 3 516 will also rotate synchronously. This will cause the L-shaped rack 2 544 to move to the left and right sides respectively. The trapezoidal sliding bar 543 will move along with the cover plate 541 in the sliding groove 523 along with the L-shaped rack. The two covers 541 move to the left and right sides respectively, and the light shield 542 also moves to the left and right sides along with the cover 541. In this way, the two cover plates 541 will gradually separate, and the two lens brushes 545 will move away from each other. The sliding gear 546 meshes with the transmission rack 539, so the sliding gear 546 will rotate itself while moving to the left and right sides respectively. Thus, the lens brushes 545 will rotate synchronously with the sliding gear 546 while moving, thereby cleaning the stains and dust on the scanning lens 522.
[0057] Additionally, as the rotating rod 512 rotates, the second helical gear 517 also rotates synchronously, causing the third helical gear 533 to rotate synchronously as well. This, in turn, causes the second rotating shaft 532 and the rotating gear 534 to rotate synchronously with the third helical gear 533. The rotation of the rotating gear 534 causes the first L-shaped rack 535 to move and move closer together, thereby causing the compression rod 536 to push the compression plates 537 closer together. This compresses the air inside the air storage shell 531 and between the two compression plates 537, causing a large amount of air to flow from the gas outlet 538 into the gas tank 526. The air then flows out from the air vent 527 and is sprayed onto the scanning lens 522. When the cover plate 541 is completely separated, the first motor 515 stops rotating. When the operator turns off the scanning assembly 52, the first motor 515 will restart, driving the power gear 514 to rotate counterclockwise and perform the opposite movement. The movement of the power gear 514 drives the transmission gear 513 and the rotating shaft 534 to rotate synchronously. The rotating rod 512, transmission gear three 516, and helical gear two 517 rotate together. At the same time, the movement of helical gear two 517 will cause the rotating shaft two 532, helical gear three 533, and rotating gear 534 to rotate together, which in turn causes the L-shaped rack one 535 to move apart. As a result, the compression rod 536 and the compression square plate 537 also move apart, so that the air storage shell 531 and the space between the two compression square plates 537 are filled with air again. In addition, the rotation of transmission gear three 516 causes the L-shaped rack two 544 to move closer together, which in turn causes the cover plate 541 to move closer together until the cover plate 541 is completely closed. The motor one 515 stops rotating. In this way, every time the scanning assembly 52 is turned on or off, the dust on the scanning lens 522 is cleaned, keeping the scanning lens 522 clean and tidy. This prevents the scanning assembly 52 from failing or making scanning errors, improves the efficiency of outbound scanning, reduces logistics costs, and ensures the safe and timely delivery of goods.
[0058] Once the scanning component 52 is activated, the operator can start motor 6. Motor 6, once activated, will rotate the conveyor roller 32, causing the conveyor belt 33 to rotate synchronously with it. This moves the goods on the conveyor belt 33 below the scanning lens 522. Simultaneously, the rotation of the conveyor roller 32 will also drive the driven rod 34 and driven gear 35 via the transmission belt 37. When the driven gear 35 rotates, the helical gear 434 will rotate along with it. The rotation of the helical gear 434 will then drive the transmission rod 431 and transmission gear 433 to rotate. When the transmission gear 433 rotates, it will drive the rotating gears 423 on both sides to rotate in the same direction. The rotation of the 3rd wheel causes the arc-shaped flywheel 424 to rotate along with the rotating shaft 422. When one side of the arc-shaped flywheel 424 engages with the cross link 425, it moves the cross link 425 in one direction. When the other side of the arc-shaped flywheel 424 engages with the cross link 425, it moves the cross link 425 in the opposite direction. This achieves the reciprocating motion of the arc-shaped plate 427 on the conveyor belt 33, and pushes the goods into the scanning range of the scanning component 52. This effectively avoids missed scans or mis-scans by the outbound scanning equipment and improves the accuracy of the outbound scanning equipment. This ensures the accuracy and timeliness of the outbound information of logistics goods. Moreover, this component can realize multiple functions, improve work efficiency, and save time and effort.
