[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of express sorting, and in particular relates to a six-side scanning component for express sorting. Background Art

[0002] At present, after the logistics company transports the express to each distribution center, the distribution center will scan, weigh and sort the goods, and finally load the goods onto trucks and send them to various outlets under the city and deliver the goods by personnel.

[0003] Due to the increasing number of parcels and time efficiency, many e-commerce express logistics companies have introduced automatic barcode scanning technology to improve their service level and competitiveness. The most widely used automatic barcode scanning equipment is the six-sided scanning equipment. The six-sided scanning equipment has six sides, each side is equipped with a scanning camera. No matter which side the label or barcode of the express package is attached, the device can scan and identify it through the scanning camera.

[0004] However, due to the poor delivery environment of express parcels, dust is easily attached to the surface of the parcel. During the scanning and identification process, the dust on the parcel will fall onto the scanning camera below, causing contamination of the scanning camera lens below, affecting its scanning and identification of the lower surface of the express parcel, and easily causing missed scans, resulting in the six-sided scanning equipment to work inaccurately and reliably.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above technical problems, it is necessary to provide a six-sided scanning component for express sorting.

[0028] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a six-sided scanning component for express sorting in one embodiment of the utility model includes a main frame 1 and a conveyor belt 5. The express parcel is scanned and identified on six sides during transportation on the conveyor belt 5.

[0030] The main frame 1 is located above the conveyor belt 5, and a first scanning camera 2, a pair of second scanning cameras 3 and a pair of third scanning cameras 4 are fixedly installed on the main frame 1 in sequence, wherein the first scanning camera 2 is used to scan and identify the upper surface of the express package; the pair of second scanning cameras 3 are used to scan and identify the two sides of the express package respectively; the pair of third scanning cameras 4 are used to scan and identify the front and back of the express package respectively.

[0031] Brackets 6 are installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 5, a fourth scanning camera 7 is installed at one end of the bracket 6, and a reflector 9 matching the fourth scanning camera 7 is installed at the other end of the bracket 6. The incident angle of the light projected on the reflector 9 by the image of the lower surface of the express package is equal to the exit angle of the light reflected by the reflector 9 to the fourth scanning camera 7. In other words, the fourth scanning camera 7 can scan and identify the lower surface of the express package through the reflector 9.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, three groups of guide rollers 601 are fixedly mounted on the bracket 6, and the three groups of guide rollers 601 are triangularly distributed. The conveyor belt 5 passes through the three groups of triangularly distributed guide rollers 601 in sequence to form a sinking groove 8, and one end of the reflector 9 extends into the interior of the sinking groove 8 to ensure that when the express passes over the sinking groove 8, the reflector 9 can accurately reflect the image of the lower surface of the express package to the fourth scanning camera 7.

[0033] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, when the express passes over the sinking trough 8, the fourth scanning camera 7 can scan and identify the lower surface of the express package by scanning the image projected on the reflector 9 from the lower surface of the express package. At the same time, the first scanning camera 2, a pair of second scanning cameras 3, and a pair of third scanning cameras 4 can scan the other five surfaces of the express package, thereby realizing six-sided scanning of the express package. In this way, when scanning and identifying the lower surface of the express package, the fourth scanning camera 7 does not need to be below the express package, and the lens does not need to be facing upwards, which effectively avoids the situation of missing scans caused by dust on the lens, and effectively improves the accuracy and reliability of the six-sided scanning of the express.

[0034] The reflector 9 includes a fixing seat 901 , a groove 902 is formed on the fixing seat 901 , a lens 903 is fixedly installed inside the groove 902 , and the lens 903 is used to reflect the image of the lower surface of the express package to the fourth scanning camera 7 .

[0035] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a support shaft 10 is fixedly installed on the bracket 6, and a through hole 9011 matching the support shaft 10 is opened on the fixing seat 901. The support shaft 10 passes through the through hole 9011, and the fixing seat 901 can rotate around the support shaft 10 to adjust the angle. In this way, during the installation of the fourth scanning camera 7 and the reflector 9, it is convenient to adjust the angle of the reflector 9, ensuring that the reflector 9 can accurately reflect the image of the lower surface of the express package to the fourth scanning camera 7, and the installation and debugging are convenient.

[0036] A screw hole 9012 is provided on the fixing seat 901, and a locking bolt 9013 is threadedly connected to the inner part of the screw hole 9012. One end of the locking bolt 9013 is in tight contact with the support shaft 10. The fixing seat 901 can be locked on the support shaft 10 through the lens 903 to prevent the angle of the fixing seat 901 from being deflected during operation.

[0037] A knob is fixedly mounted on one end of the locking bolt 9013, and the locking bolt 9013 can be conveniently rotated by the knob, which is convenient for manual operation.

[0038] The scraper 904 is slidably connected inside the groove 902, and a sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the groove 902. A slider matching the sliding groove is fixed on the scraper 904. The scraper 904 can slide inside the groove 902. A cloth piece 9041 is fixedly installed below the scraper 904, and the cloth piece 9041 is in close contact with the lens 903.

[0039] The scraper 904 is in an “L” shape, which facilitates manual pushing and pulling of the scraper 904 to slide in the groove 902 .

[0040] Specifically, when the surface of the lens 903 needs to be cleaned, the scraper 904 can be pushed and pulled to slide inside the groove 902. At this time, the cloth piece 9041 at the bottom of the scraper 904 can wipe and clean the surface of the lens 903, ensuring that the lens 903 can transmit a high-definition image of the lower surface of the express package to the fourth scanning camera 7, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the scanning and identification of the lower surface of the express package. The operation is simple and the cleaning is very convenient.

[0041] When in use, the fourth scanning camera 7 and the reflector 9 are respectively installed at the two ends of the bracket 6, and the angle of the reflector 9 is adjusted until the reflector 9 can reflect the image of the lower surface of the express package to the fourth scanning camera 7. When the express package passes over the sinking trough 8, the fourth scanning camera 7 scans its lower surface through the reflector 9, while the first scanning camera 2, a pair of second scanning cameras 3 and a pair of third scanning cameras 4 respectively scan the other five sides, thereby realizing six-sided scanning of the express package.

[0042] The utility model realizes scanning of the lower surface of the express package through the cooperation of the fourth scanning camera 7 and the reflector 9, avoiding the situation of missed scanning due to lens contamination, and then cooperates with five groups of scanning cameras to scan the other five sides of the express package respectively, so as to realize accurate and reliable scanning and identification of the express package.
