This method is more efficient than manual scanning, but due to the high speed of the conveyor belt, some products may not be scanned during the conveying process, resulting in inaccurate scanning results.

[0003] Therefore, an automatic code scanning device is urgently needed to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0034] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0037] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right", etc., directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0038] In order to improve the scanning efficiency and scanning accuracy, this embodiment provides an automatic scanning device, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a conveying component 10, a moving mechanism, a grabbing component 40 and a scanning mechanism 50. The conveying component 10 can convey the workpiece 100 along a first direction; the moving mechanism is arranged parallel to the conveying component 10; the grabbing component 40 is arranged at the bottom end of the moving mechanism, and the moving mechanism is configured to drive the grabbing component 40 to move to the grabbing station so that the grabbing component 40 can grab the workpiece 100; the scanning mechanism 50 is arranged between the conveying component 10 and the moving mechanism, and a conveying gap is formed between the scanning mechanism 50 and the conveying component 10, and the moving mechanism drives the grabbing component 40 to put the scanned workpiece 100 back to the grabbing station, and the conveying component 10 can convey the scanned workpiece 100 from the conveying gap to the unloading station.

[0039] In this process, the conveying, grabbing and scanning are all completed automatically by the device, which saves labor costs and improves work efficiency and automation. In addition, the process in which the mobile mechanism drives the grabbing component 40 to move to the grabbing station and grabs and scans the workpiece 100 is carried out individually on a "one-to-one" basis, that is, only one workpiece 100 is grabbed each time, and the workpiece 100 is not put back to the grabbing station until it has completed scanning, and is transported to the unloading station through the conveying component 10, avoiding the situation where some workpieces 100 have not completed scanning, and ensuring the accuracy of the entire scanning process.

[0040] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the workpiece 100 includes a plastic frame and a product, the product is placed in the plastic frame, and the conveying component 10 transfers the two together to the grabbing station ( Figure 1 The gripping component 40 grips the product and moves to the top of the scanning mechanism 50 for scanning. At the same time, the conveying component 10 transfers the plastic frame to the unloading station. After the scanning is completed, the product is put back to the gripping station. The conveying component 10 transfers the product from the conveying gap to the plastic frame at the unloading station, thus completing the scanning of multiple workpieces 100.

[0041] In addition, if Figure 1 As shown, the conveying assembly 10 includes a conveyor belt 11 and a stopper 12, wherein the stopper 12 is disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt 11 along the width direction, and the stopper 12 is used to stop the workpiece 100. In this structure, due to the presence of the stopper 12, the workpiece 100 will not be separated from the conveyor belt 11 at both ends of the conveyor belt 11 during the process of being transported by the conveyor belt 11, thereby avoiding the situation where the workpiece 100 is separated from the conveying line and the grasping assembly 40 cannot smoothly grasp the workpiece 100, thereby ensuring good working efficiency.

[0042] In addition, if Figure 1 As shown, the moving mechanism includes a first linear component 20 and a second linear component 30, wherein the first linear component 20 is arranged parallel to and above the transmission component 10; the second linear component 30 is arranged vertically at the bottom end of the first linear component 20, and the grabbing component 40 is arranged at one end of the second linear component 30 away from the first linear component 20, and the first linear component 20 can drive the second linear component 30 to move along the first direction to above the workpiece 100. This arrangement reasonably utilizes the space between the first linear component 20 and the transmission component 10, thereby simplifying the overall structure, reducing the volume occupied by the equipment, and making it more convenient for the grabbing component 40 to grab the workpiece 100, thereby improving the grabbing efficiency.

[0043] To further improve the driving efficiency, the first linear assembly 20 is slidably connected to the second linear assembly 30. This connection method can ensure that the second linear assembly 30 can move smoothly along the first direction, avoid the second linear assembly 30 from being stuck during the movement, and thus improve the movement efficiency of the second linear assembly 30 driving the grabbing assembly 40.

[0044] In addition, if Figure 1As shown, the first linear assembly 20 includes a first driving member 21, a slide rail 22 and a slider 23. The top end of the slider 23 is slidably connected to the slide rail 22, and the bottom end of the slider 23 is connected to the second linear assembly 30. The first driving member 21 can drive the slider 23 to slide along the first direction. In this structure, the slide rail 22 and the slider 23 can simplify the sliding connection structure, and the slider 23 will not shake during the sliding process, thereby ensuring good stability; in addition, the structure in which the second linear assembly 30 is arranged at the bottom end of the slider 23 is also easy to install, thereby improving operability.

[0045] It should be noted here that, in this embodiment, the first driving member 21 is a linear driving motor, which can drive the slider 23 to slide along the output direction of the slide rail 22. The second linear assembly 30 is a cylinder, which has a simple structure, quick response, and is easy to install and use, which can effectively reduce the installation and use costs of the equipment.

[0046] Specifically, the grab assembly 40 is detachably connected to the end of the second linear assembly 30 away from the slider 23. The detachable connection facilitates the subsequent maintenance and replacement of the grab assembly 40, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the structure of the grab assembly 40 according to products of different sizes, thereby improving the convenience of use and the scope of application.

[0047] Furthermore, the gripping assembly 40 includes a base 41 and a suction cup 42 which are connected to each other. The base 41 is arranged at the bottom end of the second linear assembly 30, and the suction cup 42 is used to adsorb the workpiece 100. By directly adsorbing the workpiece 100 by the suction cup 42, it is possible to avoid the structures such as the claw clamp and the manipulator from scratching or damaging the workpiece 100, thereby ensuring the yield rate of the product. It should be noted here that the base 41 is detachably connected to the bottom end of the second linear assembly 30 by an ultra-short head bolt, and the ultra-short head bolt can reduce the protrusion of the structure, thereby effectively avoiding the bolt head from scratching the workpiece 100, and at the same time can also ensure a stable connection relationship.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to ensure more stable adsorption of the workpiece 100, multiple suction cups 42 are provided along the circumference of the base 41. By providing multiple suction cups 42, a good adsorption effect can be ensured, and the workpiece 100 will not fall during the scanning process due to too weak adsorption force; in addition, multiple suction cups 42 are distributed along the circumference of the base 41, which can also ensure that the force on the workpiece 100 is uniform during the adsorption process, thereby avoiding shaking during the movement.

[0049] like Figure 1As shown, the automatic code scanning device also includes a bracket 60, which is arranged above the transmission component 10, and the moving mechanism is arranged on the bracket 60. By setting the bracket 60, the stability of the moving mechanism when driving the grabbing component 40 can be further improved, thereby ensuring good stability. It should be noted here that the bracket 60 includes two support rods 61 and a cross bar 62, and the two support rods 61 are arranged on both sides of the transmission component 10 along the width direction. The cross bar 62 is used to connect the ends of the two support rods 61, and the moving mechanism is arranged between the cross bar 62 and the transmission component 10, so as to facilitate the grabbing of the workpiece 100.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to further improve stability, multiple brackets 60 are arranged at intervals along the first direction. Multiple brackets 60 can prevent shaking during the movement of the grabbing component 40, thereby ensuring the scanning effect; in addition, multiple brackets 60 arranged at intervals along the first direction also facilitate the installation of the first linear component 20, thereby simplifying the overall structure.

[0051] Combined with the accompanying drawings, the scanning process of the automatic scanning device in this embodiment is described:

[0052] First, place the workpiece 100 on the conveyor belt 11. When the conveyor belt 11 conveys the workpiece 100 to the grabbing station, the moving mechanism drives the grabbing component 40 to move along the first direction and the vertical direction to grab the product. At this time, the conveyor belt 11 transports the rubber frame from the conveying gap to the unloading station. The grabbing component 40 adsorbs the product and, driven by the moving mechanism, faces the scanning mechanism 50 to complete the scanning. After the scanning is completed, the product is put back to the grabbing station, and the conveyor belt 11 transports the product from the conveying gap to the rubber frame of the unloading station. This process is repeated to complete the automatic scanning of multiple workpieces 100.

[0053] To sum up, the automatic code scanning device in this embodiment can not only solve the problem of low efficiency of manual handling, but also avoid missed scanning or wrong scanning, and realize automatic, efficient and accurate code scanning.

[0054] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here.
