[0027] In the description of the present utility model, it is necessary to understand that when an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to another element or there may be intermediate elements at the same time. On the contrary, when an element is said to be "directly" connected to another element, there are no intermediate elements.
[0028] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 , is a device for automatically scanning product barcodes and printing nameplate labels in real time in a preferred embodiment of the utility model, which is used to realize automatic barcode scanning and real-time printing of nameplate labels after products such as gas heating water boilers, water heaters and other household appliances are in place to prevent missing printing. The product can also be extended to other products besides household appliances. Specifically, the device includes a product conveying system 10, a barcode system 20 installed on one side of the product conveying system 10, and a label printing system 30.
[0029] The product conveying system 10 is used to convey products and intercept them at the detection position to facilitate subsequent detection and labeling. In one embodiment, the product conveying system 10 includes a conveyor line 11, a tooling plate 12 installed on the conveyor line 11, a blocker 13, a travel switch 14, a photoelectric sensor 15 and a control cabinet 16. A mounting plate 17 is provided at the lower end of the conveyor line 11. The position of the mounting plate 17 on the conveyor line 11 is lower than the position of the tooling plate 12 on the conveyor line 11 to prevent the mounting plate 17 from blocking the movement of the conveyor line 11 and the tooling plate 12. The blocker 13 is provided in the middle of the mounting plate 17, and the travel switch 14 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 17. The travel switch 14 cooperates with the blocker 13, the conveyor line 11 and other components to work. The photoelectric sensor 15 is provided on the side of the conveyor line 11 to check whether there is a product placed on the tooling plate 12. The control cabinet 16 is electrically connected to the conveyor line 11, the blocker 13, the travel switch 14 and the photoelectric sensor 15 respectively. During operation, when the product on the tooling plate 12 is transported to the detection position through the conveyor line 11, when the front end of the tooling plate 12 touches the contact of the travel switch 14, the blocker 13 is triggered to prevent the tooling plate 12 and the conveyor line 11 from moving forward. The photoelectric sensor 15 detects whether there is a product placed on the tooling plate 12. After judgment, subsequent work is carried out.
[0030] In this embodiment, there are multiple tooling boards 12, each tooling board 12 is placed on the conveyor line 11 in sequence according to the specifications of the product, and moves with the operation of the conveyor line 11, wherein a notch is provided on the tooling board 12, and the notch cooperates with the blocker 13 to work, and the notch is roughly V-shaped; there are two photoelectric sensors 15, each photoelectric sensor 15 is respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the conveyor line 11, and by monitoring the two sides of the product, it is determined that the tooling board 12 is loaded with products to avoid misjudgment. Optionally, the conveyor line 11 is a double-speed chain assembly line, and the speed-increasing function of the double-speed chain is used to make the tooling board 12 supporting the goods on it run quickly, stop at the corresponding operating position through the blocker 13, or complete the accumulation action and the functions of shifting, transfer, and dedicated line through corresponding instructions.
[0031] The barcode system 20 is used to automatically scan the barcode on the product according to the detection result of the product conveying system 10, and send the barcode information to the label printing system 30 for subsequent operations. Specifically, the barcode system 20 includes a scanner 21 and a computer 22 electrically connected to the scanner 21. The scanner 21 is installed on one side of the conveying line 11 of the product conveying system 10, and is used to scan the barcode information on the product and send the barcode information to the computer 22. The computer 22 is installed with barcode processing software, and the barcode information is processed by the barcode processing software, and then the relevant information of the product is sent to the label printing system 30. In one embodiment, a universal adjustment rod 23 is provided at the bottom of the scanner 21, so that the scanner 21 is installed on the conveying line 11 through the universal adjustment rod 23, so that the scanning position of the scanner 21 can be adjusted according to the barcode position of different products, thereby improving the practicality of the device for different products. Optionally, the universal adjustment rod 23 is made of a bendable and deformable material.
[0032] The label printing system 30 is used to receive the barcode information of the barcode system 20 and print the information in paper or other forms. Specifically, the label printing system 30 includes a printer body 31 and a U-shaped sensor 32 installed on the printer body 31. The U-shaped sensor 32 is arranged at the upper end or the lower end of the printing outlet of the printer body 31, and is used to detect the label at the printing outlet of the printer body 31. When it is detected that there is a label at the printing outlet of the printer body 31, the "printing success" signal is transmitted to the product conveying system 10, the barcode system 20 and other systems, and the operator or other equipment can stick the label on the product, and then notify the blocker 13 to release it. If it is detected that the printing outlet of the printer body 31 does not generate a label, the product conveying system 10, the barcode system 20 and other systems are notified, and the scanner 21 re-scans to avoid missing labels. If the printer body 31 is short of printing paper or other materials, the automatic detection system of the printer body 31 can also be used to alarm and prompt "lack of printing materials".
[0033] In the above embodiments, the relevant signal lines and power supplies of the barcode system 20, label printing system 30 and other systems can also be installed in the control cabinet 16, and the relevant lines are installed through the control cabinet 16. In this embodiment, the control cabinet 16 is a PLC control cabinet 16, and the entire device is automatically controlled by the PLC control program. The control cabinet 16 is provided with a plurality of control buttons and power buttons, and the control buttons and power buttons are used to control each device accordingly. In other embodiments, the device also includes a labeling robot (not shown), which is arranged on one side of the conveyor line 11, and is used to affix the label generated by the label printing system 30 to the corresponding position of the product, so as to replace manual labeling.
[0034] In the above device, the barcode is automatically scanned after the product is in place, and the scanner 21 sends the barcode information to the printing system, which then converts the information into a print signal to trigger the printer to print the label to prevent missing printing. The entire process is automatically realized without human intervention, ensuring that one barcode is scanned and one label is printed to avoid missing labels. It can also realize automatic release when there is no product, and if printing is unsuccessful, the product cannot be released to prevent missing printing or missing labels. The universal adjustment rod can realize quick adjustment of the scanning position.
[0035] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0036] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
