DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The embodiment of the present application discloses a device for scanning and counting goods. By setting a turning mechanism 1, the first follower component 11 and the lifting component 12 therein can turn the goods over during the transportation of the goods, so that the scanning device can scan and count the goods on the front side of the goods, and can also scan and count the goods on the back side of the goods, thereby effectively solving the problem that some goods cannot be effectively scanned because the graphic code of the goods may be attached to the front side or the back side of the goods.

[0021] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] Embodiment 1. The present invention provides a device for scanning and counting goods, including a conveying mechanism 2 and a turning mechanism 1. The conveying mechanism 2 is a conveying mechanism 2 for conveying goods. A scanning mechanism is arranged above the conveying mechanism 2. The scanning mechanism is used to scan and count goods. The turning mechanism 1 is arranged below the conveying mechanism 2. The turning mechanism 1 is located below the scanning mechanism. The turning mechanism 1 is used to turn over the goods during the conveyance process so that the scanning mechanism can scan and count both sides of the goods to prevent missed scanning.

[0023] Specifically, the flipping mechanism 1 includes a first follower assembly 11 and a lifting assembly 12. The lifting assembly 12 is installed on the first follower assembly 11. After the goods move above the first follower assembly 11, the first follower assembly 11 drives the lifting assembly 12 to move with the goods.

[0024] It should be noted that, during the following movement, the lifting assembly 12 lifts the head of the goods to make the goods in an inclined state; After the goods are lifted up, the first follower assembly 11 stops moving, the tail of the goods moves forward driven by the conveying mechanism 2, and the head of the goods stops under the blocking of the lifting assembly 12, so that the goods turn over backwards; After the goods are turned over, the first follower assembly 11 drives the lifting assembly 12 to move forward quickly, so that the lifting assembly 12 moves to the front of the goods, and then the lifting assembly 12 and the first follower assembly 11 are reset.

[0025] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a main conveyor belt 201, and auxiliary conveyor belts 202 are respectively arranged on both sides of the main conveyor belt 201. A conveying gap is arranged between the main conveyor belt 201 and the auxiliary conveyor belt 202, and the conveying gaps are respectively the first conveying gap 203 and the eighth conveying gap 210, and the first follower component 11 and the lifting component 12 are both arranged in the first conveying gap 203.

[0026] Specifically, the first follower assembly 11 includes a first follower base 111, which is arranged in the first conveying gap 203. The first follower base 111 is provided with a first follower groove 112, and a first follower slide 113 is slidably arranged in the first follower groove 112. The moving direction of the first follower slide 113 is consistent with the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2.

[0027] Furthermore, the lifting assembly 12 includes a lifting cylinder 121 , which is mounted on the first follower slide 113 . The lifting cylinder 121 is vertically arranged and a horizontal push rod 122 is connected to an output end thereof.

[0028] In the above-mentioned lifting assembly 12, the horizontal push rod 122 extends horizontally backward from the output end of the lifting cylinder, the length of the horizontal push rod 122 is greater than the length of the goods, and the end of the horizontal push rod 122 is connected to the front support rod 123, the front support rod 123 is horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the horizontal push rod 122, and the length of the front support rod 123 is less than the width of the first conveying gap 203.

[0029] When the scanning and counting equipment of the present embodiment is working, after the goods move to the top of the first follower assembly 11, the first follower slide 113 slides in the first follower slide groove 112, driving the lifting cylinder 121 to follow the movement of the goods. During the following movement, the output end of the lifting cylinder 121 extends, driving the horizontal push rod 122 and the front support rod 123 to extend, and the front support rod 123 lifts the head of the goods to make the goods in an inclined state. After lifting the goods, the first follower slide 113 stops moving, and the tail of the goods moves forward driven by the conveying mechanism 2, while the head of the goods is stationary under the blockage of the front support rod 123, so that the goods turn over backwards; After the goods are turned over, the first follower slide 113 drives the lifting cylinder 121 to move forward quickly, so that the lifting cylinder 121 moves to the front of the goods, and then the lifting cylinder 121 and the first follower slide 113 are reset.

[0030] It should be noted that, since the lifting component 12 is arranged in the first conveying gap 203, its contact position with the goods is on one side of the head of the goods, which can easily cause the goods to tilt when lifting the goods. Based on this, in this embodiment, the first follower component 11 and the lifting component 12 are each provided with two groups, one group of the first follower component 11 and the lifting component 12 is arranged in the first conveying gap 203 as described above, and the other group is arranged in the eighth conveying gap 210.

[0031] The goods can be turned over under the drive of the first follower component 11 and the lifting component 12. In the first half of the turning over, that is, in the process of turning from a horizontal state to a vertical state, the lifting component 12 is always in contact with the goods, and by controlling the speed of changing the distance between the lifting component 12 and the tail end of the goods, the goods can be slowly uprighted. However, in the second half of the turning over, that is, in the process of turning from a vertical state to a horizontal state, the goods are turning freely, and their fall will cause a large impact, which may easily damage the equipment or goods.

[0032] Based on this, the flipping mechanism 1 of the code scanning and goods counting device in this embodiment also includes a third follower component 15 and a rear support component 16. The rear support component 16 is installed on the third follower component 15, and the rear support component 16 is located behind the lifting component 12.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the lifting component 12 moves with the goods, the third follower component 15 drives the rear supporting component 16 to move with the goods. When the goods are lifted, the output end of the rear supporting component 16 extends upward from the rear of the goods. When the goods are turned over, the rear supporting component 16 supports the goods from the rear to prevent the goods from falling directly and being damaged. After the rear supporting assembly 16 supports the goods, the output end of the rear supporting assembly 16 contracts until the goods are level again, and then the third follower assembly 15 is reset.

[0034] In order to avoid the conflict between the actions of the third follower assembly 15 and the rear supporting assembly 16 and the actions of the first follower assembly 11 and the lifting assembly 12, the present embodiment further sets an auxiliary conveyor belt 202 between the two conveying gaps, and conveying gaps are set between the main conveyor belt 201 and the auxiliary conveyor belt 202 and between adjacent auxiliary conveyor belts 202. The conveying gaps are the first conveying gap 203, the third conveying gap 205, the sixth conveying gap 208 and the eighth conveying gap 210 respectively. The first follower assembly 11 and the lifting assembly 12 are both set in the first conveying gap 203, and the third follower assembly 15 and the rear supporting assembly 16 are both set in the third conveying gap 205.

[0035] Specifically, the third follower assembly 15 includes a third follower base 151, the third follower base 151 is arranged in the third conveying gap 205, the third follower base 151 is provided with a third follower groove 152, a third follower slide 153 is slidably arranged in the third follower groove 152, and the moving direction of the third follower slide 153 is consistent with the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2.

[0036] Furthermore, the rear support assembly 16 includes a rear support cylinder 161, which is installed on the third follower slide 153. The rear support cylinder 161 is vertically arranged and its output end is horizontally connected to a rear support rod 162. The rear support rod 162 is horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2. The length of the rear support rod 162 is less than the width of the third conveying gap 205.

[0037] When the scanning and counting device of the present embodiment is working, when the lifting assembly 12 moves with the movement, the third follower slide 153 slides in the third follower slide slot 152, driving the rear support cylinder 161 to move with the goods. When the goods are lifted, the output end of the rear support cylinder 161 extends upward from the rear of the tail of the goods. When the goods are turned over backwards, the rear support rod 162 supports the goods from the rear to prevent the goods from falling directly and being damaged. After the rear support rod 162 supports the goods, the output end of the rear support cylinder 161 contracts until the goods are level again, and then the third follower slide 153 is reset.

[0038] The flipping action in this embodiment realizes the "flexible" flipping of the goods, reduces the collision and shaking intensity of the medicine, and thus reduces the damage to the box body and the internal medicine. It should be noted that, since the lifting component 12 is arranged in the first conveying gap 203, its contact position with the goods is on one side of the head of the goods, which easily causes the goods to be skewed when lifting the goods. At the same time, the rear supporting component 16 is arranged in the third conveying gap 205, and its contact position with the goods is on one side of the head of the goods, which easily causes the goods to be skewed when supporting the goods. Based on this, in this embodiment, the first follower component 11 and the lifting component 12 are each provided with two groups, and the third follower component 15 and the rear supporting component 16 are also provided with two groups, one group of the first follower component 11 and the lifting component 12 are arranged in the first conveying gap 203 as described above, and the other group of the first follower component 11 and the lifting component 12 are arranged in the eighth conveying gap 210, one group of the third follower component 15 and the rear supporting component 16 are arranged in the third conveying gap 205, and the other group of the third follower component 15 and the rear supporting component 16 are arranged in the sixth conveying gap 208.

[0039] In the second embodiment, the goods can be turned over under the drive of the first follower component 11 and the lifting component 12. In the first half of the turning over, that is, in the process of turning over from the horizontal state to the vertical state, the goods are in a tilted state and have a tendency to slide backwards. If the goods slide backwards, the turning over action cannot be completed. Based on this, the turning mechanism 1 of this embodiment also includes a second follower component 13 and an anti-rear slip support component 14. The anti-rear slip support component 14 is installed on the second follower component 13, and the anti-rear slip support component 14 is located behind the lifting component 12.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the lifting component 12 moves with the goods, the second follower component 13 drives the anti-rear-slip support component 14 to move with the goods. In the process of the goods being lifted up, the output end of the anti-rear-slip support component 14 extends upward from the rear of the tail of the goods to prevent the goods from sliding backward. When the goods are turned over backward, the anti-rear-slip support component 14 and the second follower component 13 are reset.

[0041] In order to avoid conflicts between the actions of the third follower assembly 15 and the rear support assembly 16, the first follower assembly 11 and the lifting assembly 12, and the second follower assembly 13 and the anti-rear slip support assembly 14, three auxiliary conveyor belts 202 are respectively arranged on both sides of the main conveyor belt 201 in this embodiment, and therefore there are six conveying gaps, namely the first conveying gap 203, the second conveying gap 204, the third conveying gap 205, the sixth conveying gap 208, the seventh conveying gap 209 and the eighth conveying gap 210, the first follower assembly 11 and the lifting assembly 12 are both arranged in the first conveying gap 203, the second follower assembly 13 and the anti-rear slip support assembly 14 are both arranged in the second conveying gap 204, and the third follower assembly 15 and the rear support assembly 16 are both arranged in the third conveying gap 205.

[0042] Specifically, the second follower assembly 13 includes a second follower base 131, which is arranged in the second conveying gap 204, and a second follower groove 132 is arranged on the second follower base 131. A second follower slide 133 is slidably arranged in the second follower groove 132, and the moving direction of the second follower slide 133 is consistent with the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2.

[0043] Furthermore, the anti-rearward skid support assembly 14 includes an anti-rearward skid support cylinder 141, which is installed on the second follower slide 133. The anti-rearward skid support cylinder 141 is vertically arranged and its output end is horizontally connected to an anti-rearward skid support rod 142. The anti-rearward skid support rod 142 is horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2. The length of the anti-rearward skid support rod 142 is less than the width of the second conveying gap 204.

[0044] When the code scanning and goods counting device in this embodiment is working, when the lifting component 12 follows the movement, the second follower slide 133 drives the anti-rearward sliding support cylinder 141 to move with the goods. In the process of the goods being lifted up, the anti-rearward sliding support cylinder 141 drives the anti-rearward sliding support rod 142 to extend upward from the rear of the tail of the goods to prevent the goods from sliding backward. When the goods are turned over backward, the anti-rearward sliding support cylinder 141 and the second follower slide 133 are reset.

[0045] In the third embodiment, the goods can be turned over under the drive of the first follower component 11 and the lifting component 12. In the second half of the turning over, that is, in the process from the vertical state to the horizontal state, the goods are in a tilted state, and the goods have a tendency to slide forward. If the goods slide backward, the impact of the goods "falling to the ground" is relatively large, which can easily damage the equipment or goods. Based on this, the turning mechanism 1 of this embodiment also includes a fourth follower component 17 and an anti-front slip support component 18. The anti-front slip support component 18 is installed on the fourth follower component 17, and the anti-front slip support component 18 is located behind the lifting component 12.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the lifting component 12 follows the movement, the fourth follower component 17 drives the anti-front slip support component 18 to follow the movement of the goods. When the goods are turned over to a vertical state, the output end of the anti-front slip support component 18 extends upward from the bottom front of the goods. When the goods are turned over to tilt backward, the extended output end of the anti-front slip support component 18 prevents the goods from sliding forward. After the goods are turned over, the fourth follower component 17 and the anti-front slip support component 18 are reset.

[0047] In order to avoid conflicts between the actions of the third follower assembly 15 and the rear support assembly 16, the first follower assembly 11 and the lifting assembly 12, the second follower assembly 13 and the anti-rear slip support assembly 14, and the fourth follower assembly 17 and the anti-front slip support assembly 18, in this embodiment, four auxiliary conveyor belts 202 are respectively arranged on both sides of the main conveyor belt 201, and therefore there are eight conveying gaps, namely the first conveying gap 203, the second conveying gap 204, the third conveying gap 205, the fourth conveying gap 206, the fifth conveying gap 207, the sixth conveying gap 208, the seventh conveying gap 209 and the eighth conveying gap 210, the first follower assembly 11 and the lifting assembly 12 are both arranged in the first conveying gap 203, the second follower assembly 13 and the anti-rear slip support assembly 14 are both arranged in the second conveying gap 204, the third follower assembly 15 and the rear support assembly 16 are both arranged in the third conveying gap 205, and the fourth follower assembly 17 and the anti-front slip support assembly 18 are both arranged in the fourth conveying gap 206.

[0048] Specifically, the fourth follower assembly 17 includes a fourth follower base 171, which is disposed in the fourth conveying gap 206, and a fourth follower slide 172 is disposed on the fourth follower base 171, and a fourth follower slide 173 is slidably disposed in the fourth follower slide 172, and the moving direction of the fourth follower slide 173 is consistent with the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2; The anti-front slip support assembly 18 includes an anti-front slip support cylinder 181, which is installed on the fourth follower slide 173. The anti-front slip support cylinder 181 is vertically arranged and its output end is horizontally connected to an anti-front slip support rod 182. The anti-front slip support rod 182 is horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2. The length of the anti-front slip support rod 182 is less than the width of the fourth conveying gap 206.

[0049] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a main conveyor belt 201, and four auxiliary conveyor belts 202 are respectively arranged on both sides of the main conveyor belt 201. Conveying gaps are arranged between the main conveyor belt 201 and the auxiliary conveyor belts 202, and between adjacent auxiliary conveyor belts 202. The conveying gaps are respectively the first conveying gap 203, the second conveying gap 204, the third conveying gap 205, the fourth conveying gap 206, the fifth conveying gap 207, the sixth conveying gap 208, the seventh conveying gap 209 and the eighth conveying gap 210. The first follower assembly 11 and the lifting assembly 12 are both arranged in the first conveying gap 203.

[0050] When the code scanning and goods counting device in this embodiment is working, when the lifting component 12 follows the movement, the fourth follow-up base 171 slides in the fourth follow-up slide groove 172, driving the anti-front slip support cylinder 181 to follow the movement of the goods, and when the goods are turned over to a vertical state, the output end of the anti-front slip support cylinder 181 extends out to drive the anti-front slip support rod 182 to extend upward from the bottom front of the goods, and when the goods are turned over to tilt backward, the anti-front slip support rod 182 prevents the goods from sliding forward, and after the goods are turned over, the fourth follow-up base 171 and the anti-front slip support cylinder 181 are reset.

[0051] In summary, the scanning and counting device of the present invention, firstly, sets a turning mechanism 1, wherein the first follower component 11 and the lifting component 12 can turn the goods over during the transportation of the goods, so that the scanning device can scan and count the goods on the front side of the goods, and can also scan and count the goods on the back side of the goods, thereby effectively solving the problem that some goods cannot be effectively scanned because the graphic code of the goods may be attached to the front side or the back side of the goods.

[0052] Secondly, the present invention sets a third follower component 15 and a rear supporting component 16. When the lifting component 12 moves with the goods, the third follower component 15 drives the rear supporting component 16 to move with the goods. When the goods are lifted up, the output end of the rear supporting component 16 extends upward from the rear of the tail of the goods. When the goods are turned over backwards, the rear supporting component 16 supports the goods from the rear to prevent the goods from falling directly and being damaged, thereby realizing the "flexible" turning over of the goods, reducing the collision and shaking strength of the medicines, and thus reducing the damage to the box body and the medicines inside.

[0053] Again, the present invention sets a second follower component 13 and an anti-rear-slip support component 14. When the lifting component 12 follows the movement, the second follower component 13 drives the anti-rear-slip support component 14 to move with the goods. In the process of the goods being lifted, the output end of the anti-rear-slip support component 14 extends upward from the rear of the tail of the goods to prevent the goods from sliding backwards.

[0054] At the same time, the present invention sets a fourth follower component 17 and an anti-front slip support component 18. When the lifting component 12 follows the movement, the fourth follower component 17 drives the anti-front slip support component 18 to follow the movement of the goods. When the goods are turned over to a vertical state, the output end of the anti-front slip support component 18 extends upward from the bottom front of the goods. When the goods are turned over to tilt backward, the extended output end of the anti-front slip support component 18 prevents the goods from sliding forward.

[0055] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.

[0056] What has been described above is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent substitutions or changes according to the technical scheme and concept of the present application within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present application.
