Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of office equipment technology, and in particular to a seal disposal management device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, cigarette pack seals are printed with many new anti-counterfeiting codes and points redemption codes. To prevent discarded or lost seals from entering the market and being hoarded for use in counterfeit cigarette manufacturing and points redemption, these seals need to be abolished and destroyed. Therefore, while it's usually possible to manually tear open the cigarette pack seals piece by piece, some cigarette pack seals use a lamination process to prevent wear and fading, extending their shelf life. Furthermore, these seals are very narrow and long, making them difficult to tear open manually, resulting in low efficiency and wasted time and effort.

[0003] In existing technologies, large office shredders are often used to shred the aforementioned discarded seals, facilitating the destruction of large quantities of seals in a short period of time. However, traditional seal cutting methods have many drawbacks. When working remotely, it is impossible to use a large office shredder to destroy a large number of seals at hand. Shredders are bulky, have limited application scenarios, and are structurally complex. Furthermore, they cannot monitor and manage discarded seals, and production managers may not be able to supervise whether discarded seals have been destroyed as required. When dealing with laminated seals, problems such as paper misalignment, missed cuts, or blockages are prone to occur, leading to unstable waste management.

[0004] Because of the continuous length of the seals, there is a certain continuity in the serial numbers. At this time, it is necessary to record the QR code number of the seal before it is destroyed. Since manual recording is time-consuming, laborious and prone to omissions, errors and omissions, there is an urgent need for a seal disposal management device that can automatically record the serial number of the disposed seals to prevent the seal code from re-entering the market and being exploited by malicious individuals. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a seal disposal management device with a simple structure. It can accurately, stably and labor-savingly cut and destroy the QR code on the discarded seal, record the serial number of the discarded seal, and facilitate the sorting, statistics and traceability of goods by producers, thus improving work efficiency and having a wider range of applications.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] Seal and disposal management equipment, including:

[0008] A cutting module includes a housing and a cutting assembly. The housing has a sealing channel, one end of which is for receiving discarded seals, and the other end of which is fixed to the cutting assembly. The discarded seals are converted into seal fragments by the cutting assembly. A three-stage conveying assembly includes a guide wheel, a drive wheel, and a pressure roller. The guide wheel is located at the end of the sealing channel for receiving discarded seals and can rotate relative to the bottom surface of the housing to guide the discarded seals into the sealing channel. Two pressure rollers are provided, each located on one side of the cutting assembly. The pressure rollers can rotate relative to the bottom surface of the housing to guide the seal fragments out of the sealing channel. The drive wheel is located between the guide wheel and the pressure roller and can control the conveying speed of the discarded seals.

[0009] The management module includes a QR code reader fixed to the housing, which is used to scan the serial number of the discarded seal.

[0010] As an optional technical solution for the seal disposal management device, the management module also includes a storage box, which is fixed to one end of the housing near the cutting component, and is used to collect the seal fragments.

[0011] As an optional technical solution for the seal disposal management equipment, the management module also includes a sensing device. The sensing device is communicatively connected to the cutting module and can detect the status of the storage box and issue an alarm before the storage box is full.

[0012] As an optional technical solution for the seal disposal management device, the management module also includes a control terminal. The control terminal is communicatively connected to the cutting module and the management module. The control terminal can control the start and stop of the cutting module and receive the scanning information from the QR code reader.

[0013] As an optional technical solution for the seal disposal management equipment, the QR code reader is located at the end of the seal channel away from the cutting component. There are two QR code readers, which are fixed to the upper and lower sides of the housing.

[0014] As an optional technical solution for the seal disposal management equipment, two QR code readers are provided, and the two QR code readers are respectively fixed at both ends of the seal channel.

[0015] As an optional technical solution for the seal disposal management equipment, the cutting component includes a cutting blade and a paper pressing blade. The cutting edge of the cutting blade faces the inside of the seal channel, and the paper pressing blade is located behind the cutting blade. The paper pressing blade intermittently cuts the discarded seals that pass through the cutting blade.

[0016] As an optional technical solution for the seal disposal management equipment, the outer circumferential surface of the guide wheel is provided with an anti-slip layer.

[0017] As an optional technical solution for the seal disposal management equipment, the gap between the paper pressing roller and the housing can be adjusted.

[0018] As an optional technical solution for the seal disposal management equipment, the three-stage conveying assembly also includes a hand crank arm, which is rotatably connected to the outside of the housing and is coaxially fixed with the drive wheel.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0020] The seal disposal management device provided by this invention includes a cutting module and a management module. The cutting module includes a housing, a three-stage conveying assembly, and a cutting assembly. The housing is provided with a seal channel. One end of the seal channel is used to enter the disposal seal, and the other end of the seal channel is fixed with the cutting assembly. The disposal seal is converted into seal fragments by the cutting assembly, and the QR code on the disposal seal is cut and destroyed in a simple and labor-saving manner.

[0021] The three-stage conveying assembly includes guide wheels, drive wheels, and pressure rollers. The guide wheels are located at the end of the sealing channel where the discarded seals enter. These guide wheels rotate relative to the bottom surface of the housing to guide the discarded seals into the sealing channel, ensuring precise entry and preventing deviation during transport, thus laying the foundation for accurate subsequent cutting. Two pressure rollers are positioned on either side of the cutting assembly. These pressure rollers rotate relative to the bottom surface of the housing to guide seal fragments out of the sealing channel. The discarded seals pass through the sealing channel, are split in two by the cutting blade, and are smoothly conveyed out of the sealing channel by the pressure rollers. The pressure rollers effectively prevent the cut seal fragments from tangling with the cutting blade structure and also level the fragments, preventing blockage of the sealing channel. The drive wheel, located between the guide wheels and pressure rollers, controls the conveying speed of the discarded seals. The conveying speed can be flexibly adjusted according to different seal paper materials and cutting requirements to ensure cutting accuracy. The guide wheels, drive wheels, and pressure rollers work together to form a stable three-stage conveying assembly, which ensures that the waste seals move stably within the seal channel to form a closed-loop, efficient destruction path. This avoids wrinkles and jamming, and improves the smoothness of the entire cutting process.

[0022] The management module includes a QR code reader, fixed to the housing, used to scan the serial numbers of discarded seals. When a discarded seal passes through the seal channel, the QR code reader scans and records the serial number recorded on the QR code on the seal. This allows the reader to record which segment of the QR code has been destroyed, facilitating the statistical analysis of QR code segments for uploading and subsequent terminal statistics. If a consumer subsequently scans a QR code within that serial number range, it indicates counterfeit goods or duplicate printing of the QR code on the seal by the manufacturer, facilitating product manufacturers' statistical and traceability efforts. The seal disposal management equipment has a simple structure, allowing operators to quickly understand its operation, facilitating daily maintenance and troubleshooting. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0028] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0030] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," and "left," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this invention discloses a seal disposal management device, including a cutting module, a three-stage conveying assembly, and a management module. The cutting module includes a housing 10 and a cutting assembly. The housing 10 serves as the support frame for the entire device, providing a stable installation foundation for other components and ensuring stability and reliability during operation. The housing 10 is provided with a seal channel 11. One end of the seal channel 11 is used to enter the disposal seal, and the other end of the seal channel 11 is fixed with the cutting assembly. The disposal seal is converted into seal fragments by the cutting assembly, which simply and effortlessly cuts and destroys the QR code on the disposal seal. The three-stage conveying assembly includes guide wheels 221, drive wheels, and pressure rollers 222. Guide wheels 221 are located at one end of the sealing channel 11 for the entry of discarded seals. Guide wheels 221 can rotate relative to the bottom surface of the housing 10 to guide the discarded seals into the sealing channel 11, accurately guiding them and ensuring no deviation during conveying, thus laying the foundation for subsequent precise cutting. Two pressure rollers 222 are provided, respectively located on both sides of the cutting assembly. Pressure rollers 222 can rotate relative to the bottom surface of the housing 10 to guide seal fragments out of the sealing channel 11. The discarded seals enter through the sealing channel... The seal 11 is guided through the guide wheel 21 and then split in two by the cutter 21. It is then smoothly conveyed out of the seal channel 11 by the pressure roller 222. The pressure roller 222 can effectively prevent the cut seal fragments from getting tangled in the cutter structure and also flattens the seal fragments to prevent the seal channel 11 from getting blocked. The pressure roller 222 can be a pair of rubber traction wheels. The drive wheel is located between the guide wheel 221 and the pressure roller 222 and can control the transmission speed of the discarded seals. The drive wheel is connected to the power unit through a gear set to ensure the stability and accuracy of the power transmission. The conveying speed can be flexibly adjusted according to different seal paper materials and cutting requirements to ensure the accuracy of the cutting.

[0032] As per design requirements, guide wheels 221, drive wheels, and pressure rollers 222 are sequentially installed on the housing 10, and the relative positions and gaps between each component are adjusted. Guide wheels 221, drive wheels, and pressure rollers 222 work together to form a stable three-stage conveying assembly, ensuring a closed-loop, efficient destruction path. For example, for narrow, long, laminated waste seals, stable movement within the seal channel 11 avoids wrinkles and jamming, improving the smoothness of the entire cutting process. Guide wheels 221 guide the waste seals precisely into the seal channel 11, and drive wheels steadily convey the waste seals at a set speed. When the waste seal reaches the cutting position, the cutting assembly quickly completes the cutting. The cut seal fragments are output under the action of the pressure rollers 222, completing the entire cutting process.

[0033] For example, the outer circumferential surface of the guide wheel 221 is provided with an anti-slip layer, and its surface is specially treated to have appropriate friction, which can better control the passage and introduction of waste seals. In this embodiment, the gap between the pressure roller 222 and the housing 10 can be adjusted up and down, so as to accommodate sealing paper of different thicknesses; if seal fragments are jammed under the pressure roller 222, the gap of the pressure roller 222 can also be adjusted by adjusting the up and down pressing force and distance to remove the jammed seal fragments. Similarly, the gaps between the guide wheel 221 and the drive wheel and the housing 10 can also be adjusted up and down. The seal disposal management equipment has a compact overall structure, is easy to install, and is suitable for various types of waste seals, improving the convenience and security of use.

[0034] Specifically, the three-stage conveying assembly also includes a hand crank arm 23, which is rotatably connected to the outside of the housing 10. The hand crank arm 23 is coaxially fixed with the drive wheel. By rotating the hand crank arm 23, the drive wheel can synchronously pull the scrap seal through the seal channel 11, which can achieve more efficient and labor-saving cutting of the scrap seal and destruction of the QR code on it.

[0035] The management module includes a QR code reader 30, which is fixed to the housing 10 and used to scan the serial number of the discarded seal. When the discarded seal passes through the seal channel 11, the QR code reader 30 scans and records the serial number recorded on the QR code on the discarded seal. This allows the reader to record which segment of the QR code has been destroyed, facilitating the statistical analysis of QR code segments for uploading and subsequent terminal statistics. If a consumer in the market subsequently scans a QR code within that serial number range, it indicates the presence of counterfeit goods or duplicate printing of the QR code on the seal by the manufacturer, thus facilitating statistics and traceability for product producers. Especially in the tobacco production sector, it can identify and compare counterfeit cigarettes with the same QR code on the market. The seal disposal management equipment has a simple structure, allowing operators to quickly understand its operation, facilitating daily maintenance and troubleshooting.

[0036] Specifically, the management module also includes a control terminal. The control terminal communicates with the cutting module and the management module, serving as the "brain" of the automated operation of the seal disposal management equipment. It employs a programmable logic controller (PLC), allowing operators to easily set and adjust various parameters, such as conveyor speed and cutting length, through a human-machine interface, according to the specific requirements of the disposal seals. This enables close coordination and precise collaboration with the three-stage conveying and cutting components. The control terminal also controls the start and stop of the cutting module and receives scanning information from the QR code reader 30. Furthermore, it features an automatic recording function, recording the cutting time and quantity in real time for data traceability and analysis, further optimizing the management process and improving work efficiency.

[0037] The control terminal typically sends the compiled QR code information to a computer in a designated office. This allows the backend to clearly see which QR codes on the discarded seals have been destroyed and which were missed. It also compares the data with a known database and includes an alarm system. If a QR code appears twice, it is recorded in the backend and an alarm is triggered to alert on-site operators to promptly identify the problem. The control terminal can monitor the device's operating status in real time, promptly handle and alarm on various anomalies, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the seal disposal management equipment.

[0038] In this embodiment, the management module also includes a storage box 40 and a sensing device. The storage box 40 is fixed to one end of the housing 10 near the cutting assembly and is used to collect seal fragments. The sensing device is communicatively connected to the cutting module. The sensing device can detect the status of the storage box 40 and alarm before the storage box 40 is full, so that the cutting module can be stopped in time to continue operating. It can also be communicatively connected to the control terminal and automatically send reminders to the control terminal to ensure timely handling and real-time monitoring of the status of the storage box 40, effectively preventing seal fragments from overflowing from the storage box 40.

[0039] Furthermore, the QR code reader 30 is located at the end of the seal channel 11 away from the cutting component. There are two QR code readers 30, which are fixed to the upper and lower sides of the housing 10 at the entrance of the seal channel 11. The purpose of this arrangement is to avoid requiring the discarded seals to be arranged in one direction before entering the seal channel 11. Both sides of the discarded seals can pass through the seal channel 11 normally and be cut.

[0040] For example, QR code readers 30 can be fixed at both ends of the seal channel 11. QR code readers are also installed at the entrance and exit of the seal channel 11, as well as on both the top and bottom sides. Their purpose is to detect and prevent the sequence codes of undamaged or incompletely cut seals from being missed, thus preventing them from being scanned and used by others. This forms a double layer of protection for seal disposal management, ensuring that no intact undamaged seals are missed, guaranteeing the complete destruction of undamaged seals, avoiding the risk of information leakage, and improving overall security and work efficiency. The QR code reader 30 at the entrance is used to detect and scan the sequence codes of undamaged seals and count which undamaged seals are about to be cut and destroyed, then transmits the data to the control terminal for statistical summary. The QR code reader 30 at the exit is used to detect whether the serial number of the discarded seal is still intact and can be scanned. Under normal circumstances, no serial number of the discarded seal is scanned. However, if it is scanned, the seal disposal management device will upload the data to the control terminal and trigger an alarm, indicating that the seal disposal management device has not completely cut and destroyed the discarded seal. The alarm will then remind staff to check the recently cut discarded seals. If some discarded seals are not completely cut into unscannable seal fragments, the seal disposal management device needs to be readjusted, or the seals need to be checked for moisture or other reasons that make them difficult to destroy.

[0041] Optionally, the cutting assembly includes a cutting blade 21 and a paper-pressing blade. The cutting edge of the cutting blade 21 faces the inside of the sealing channel 11. The cutting edge is designed with a high-strength, wear-resistant, and sharp alloy material to ensure efficient cutting and a smooth cut, thus extending the service life of the cutting blade 21 and ensuring long-term stable operation of the cutting assembly. The installation angle and position of the cutting blade 21 are precisely calculated and adjusted to achieve accurate cutting of discarded seals. The paper-pressing blade is located behind the cutting blade 21 and intermittently cuts the discarded seals that have passed through the cutting blade 21. The purpose of this setting is to perform secondary damage cutting on the discarded seals in other directions, achieving complete cutting of the discarded seals and preventing splicing. The discarded seals can also be used for QR code recognition. The coordinated operation of the cutting component and the three-stage conveying component can improve efficiency by 5-8 times, significantly enhancing the cutting efficiency and quality of discarded seals. This achieves efficient and precise cutting of discarded seals, ensuring that the fragmented seals are irreversibly cut, overcoming the size limitations of traditional paper shredders, and adapting to various scenarios such as offices and field operations, significantly reducing enterprise operating costs. For example, the pressure blade can specifically be a slanted pressure blade or a perforating blade, capable of intermittently cutting discarded seals.

[0042] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
