[0011] Further, a driving mechanism, the driving mechanism is installed on the barcode reproducing mechanism and is used to drive the barcode reproducing mechanism to operate;

[0012] The driving mechanism comprises a motor mounting plate fixed on one side of the second support frame, a motor is fixed on one side of the motor mounting plate, a gear is fixed on one end of the output shaft of the motor, and the gear is meshed with the one-way gear.

[0013] Further, a material pushing mechanism is installed on the barcode reversing mechanism, and is driven by a driving mechanism to push the goods away from the barcode reversing mechanism, and the material pushing mechanism includes an arc-shaped pushing plate;

[0014] The pushing mechanism also includes a rotating shaft 1 rotatably connected to one side of the supporting frame 2, a pulley 1 is fixed on the outside of the rotating shaft 1, a one-way gear 2 is installed on one end of the rotating shaft 1, and the one-way gear 2 is meshed with the gear, a reciprocating screw is rotatably connected to one side of the supporting frame 2, a pulley 2 is fixed on the outside of one end of the reciprocating screw, and a belt is connected to the external transmission of the pulley 2 and the pulley 1, a guide rod is fixed on one side of the supporting frame 2, an L-shaped frame is provided on the external thread sleeve of the reciprocating screw, the arc-shaped push plate is fixed on one end of the L-shaped frame, and the L-shaped frame is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod;

After all the barcode data is entered, the acquired data is transmitted to the controller. The controller controls the motor to drive the gear to reverse. The gear reversal satisfies the direction of the rotation of the one-way gear 2 to drive the shaft 1 to rotate. The shaft 1 drives the reciprocating screw to rotate through the pulley 1, the pulley 2 and the belt. The reciprocating screw rotation drives the L-shaped frame to move. The movement of the L-shaped frame drives the arc push plate to move, pushing the special-shaped part on the barrel to the conveyor belt 2. The controller transmits the scanned data to the next station, and then the controller controls the conveyor belt 2 to transport the scanned special-shaped part to the next station for sorting.
