[0018] The embodiment of the present application provides an installation mechanism for a code reader of a packaging machine at a quality inspection station, thereby effectively solving the problem that due to the different positions and sizes of the QR codes on the small box 41 trademark paper, when the code reader is not properly installed, the QR code on the small box 41 trademark paper may be incompletely scanned or scanned incorrectly due to reasons such as scanning time, scanning angle, scanning reflection, etc., causing the equipment to continuously reject qualified products, and the operator cannot distinguish whether the rejected products are qualified, which increases the operator's work intensity and creates technical problems such as product quality risks and cost waste. The device sets the installation position according to the different positions and sizes of the QR codes on the small box 41 trademark paper of soft packs, hard packs, and thin packs, and selects corresponding different installation positions of the code reader, so that the code reader at the quality inspection station of the packaging machine can accurately read the QR codes on the small box 41 trademark paper of products with the above specifications. Example

[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As described above, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is to effectively solve the problem that due to the different positions and sizes of the two-dimensional codes on the trademark paper of the small box 41, when the code reader is not properly installed, the two-dimensional code on the trademark paper of the small box 41 is not scanned completely or incorrectly due to reasons such as scanning time, scanning angle, scanning reflection, etc., causing the equipment to continuously reject qualified products, and the operator cannot distinguish whether the rejected products are qualified, which increases the work intensity of the operator and causes technical problems such as product quality hazards and cost waste. The overall idea is as follows: an installation mechanism for a code reader of a packaging machine at a quality inspection station includes a conveying channel 5 and a channel cover 6, the channel cover 6 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the conveying channel 5, and a code reading mechanism for facilitating code reading is provided on the conveying channel 5, the code reading mechanism includes a first code reader 1, a second code reader 2 and a third code reader 3, the first code reader 1 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the channel cover 6, the first code reader 1 is installed on the channel cover 6, and fine-tuned by fixing the clamp. The premise for installation here is that no other equipment is installed on the channel cover 6. This installation position is most conducive to products with thin packaging specifications;

[0020] The second code reader 2 is located on one side of the first code reader 1, a glass cover plate 61 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the channel cover plate 6, and the third code reader 3 is located below the glass cover plate 61. An adjusting vertical rod 22 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the conveying channel 5, and an adjusting cross bar 21 is fixedly installed on the circumferential end of the adjusting vertical rod 22. The second code reader 2 is fixedly installed on the side end of the adjusting cross bar 21, and the second code reader 2 is installed on the conveying channel 5 by suspending the bracket combination, which is achieved by adjusting the cross bar 21 and the adjusting vertical rod 22. The bracket is suspended on the conveying channel 5. At the same time, a certain cutting is performed on the front end of the channel cover plate 6 to facilitate the channel cover plate 6 to be opened when a fault occurs;

[0021] The lower end of the glass cover plate 61 is fixedly mounted with a suspension rod 31, and the third code reader 3 is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the suspension rod 31. The selection condition of this position is that when the surrounding detectors cause the code reader scanning reflection in the above two installation methods, which affects the reading, this installation method is selected. This scheme uses the suspension rod 31 to install the third code reader 3 on it. With the turret 4 as a reference, the suspended third code reader 3 has a certain inclination angle to avoid the reflection problem caused by the detector;

[0022] A servo motor 42 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of one side of the conveying channel 5;

[0023] A turret 4 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the servo motor 42, at least two small boxes 41 are fixedly mounted on the lower end of the turret 4, a glass cover door 62 is hingedly mounted on the side end of the glass cover plate 61, a first code reader 1 is mounted on the channel cover plate 6, a second code reader 2 is mounted on the conveying channel 5 by means of a bracket combination, and a third code reader 3 is mounted on the glass cover plate 61 by means of a constant speed of the servo motor 42, so that the code reading time and the code reading position are consistent.

[0024] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides an installation mechanism for a code reader of a packaging machine at a quality inspection station. The device sets the installation position according to the different positions and sizes of the QR codes on the trademark paper of small boxes 41 of soft packs, hard packs, and thin packs, and selects corresponding different installation positions of the code reader, so as to facilitate the code reader at the quality inspection station of the packaging machine to accurately read the QR code on the trademark paper of the small boxes 41 of products with the above specifications.

[0025] Working principle:

[0026] In the packaging process, when the upstream machine completes the product packaging in the small box 41 and transports it to the transparent paper packaging process through the turret 4, in this process, due to the inconsistency of the position and size of the two-dimensional code on the trademark paper of the small box 41, one code reader installation position cannot be suitable for all equipment and products. At this time, choose one of the appropriate installation methods to ensure that the small box 41 trademark paper QR code is accurately identified without affecting the operation of the equipment: the position adjustment of the code reader should be based on the first small box 41 transported by the turret 4 into the conveying channel 5. The constant speed of the servo motor 42 is used to make the code reading time and code reading position consistent. The first code reader 1 is installed above the channel cover 6. The first code reader 1 is fixed to the front end of the installation channel cover 6 and fine-tuned by fixing the clamp. The second code reader 2 is installed on the conveying channel 5 by using the bracket combination. This is achieved by adjusting the cross bar 21 and the vertical rod 22. The bracket is suspended on the conveying channel 5. At the same time, the front end of the channel cover 6 should be cut to facilitate the opening of the channel cover 6 in case of failure. The third code reader 3 is installed just above the conveying channel 5 and is suspended on the glass cover plate 61. The selection condition of this position is that when the surrounding detectors cause scanning reflection of the barcode reader in the above two installation methods, affecting the reading, this installation method is selected. This solution uses a suspension rod 31 to install the third barcode reader 3 thereon. With the turret 4 as a reference, the suspended third barcode reader 3 has a certain inclination angle to avoid the reflection problem caused by the detector.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that: Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly explaining the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from this are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
