Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dust removal of reflective mirrors, in particular to a dust removal system for scanning reflective mirrors. Background Art

[0002] At present, the booming development of e-commerce in my country has led to a continuous increase in the number of mails in the market. As of 2021, the total amount of mails handled in my country has reached 118.7 billion pieces. In order to improve sorting efficiency, major express delivery companies have adopted automated sorting equipment and intelligent sorting modules to replace manual operations. The six-sided scanning module commonly used on the sorting line uses six industrial cameras to capture the possible barcodes on the six sides of the mail from six different directions, providing key barcode information for system analysis and determination of the mail sorting location.

[0003] When mail is transmitted on the sorting line, it passes through the six-sided scanning device and at the gap between the two conveyor belts, the barcode on the bottom is refracted from the bottom of the conveyor belt to the bottom industrial camera through the reflector. To ensure the collection accuracy, a light source is configured around the camera to shine on the reflector to improve the lighting conditions and further improve the recognition efficiency of the barcode information.

[0004] As the core component for extracting barcode information, the cleanliness of the reflector surface directly affects the barcode recognition effect. Dust and fine particles in the sorting site environment are easily attached to the reflector, reducing the recognition efficiency of the bottom surface of the mail. Therefore, at each level of maintenance, maintenance personnel need to check and clean the reflector surface in time. At present, maintenance personnel mainly rely on manual cleaning and wiping of each reflector every day, but due to the narrow space, this work faces many difficulties and the workload is huge, and it is still difficult to ensure the cleanliness of the reflector surface.

[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, a collecting groove parallel to the reflecting mirror is further formed on the inner bottom surface of the shell, and two ends of the collecting groove are connected to two side walls of the shell.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, a waste liquid collection port is further provided at the bottom of the shell, and the waste liquid collection port passes through the side wall of the shell and is connected to one end of the collection tank.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the beneficial effect that the scanning reflector dust removal system of the utility model has a compact structure, and the housing, reflector, rotating motor, moving assembly, dust removal assembly and controller and other components cooperate with each other to realize automatic cleaning and dust removal of the reflector. The cleaning operation of the reflector can be realized through the controller, which is simple to operate and convenient to maintain. The reflector is driven to rotate by the rotating motor so that each area of ​​the reflector can be included in the housing for cleaning. The housing covers half of the reflector area, ensuring that the reflector still has a reflective function during the cleaning process, thereby avoiding the time limit for cleaning the reflector. The reflector is cleaned by a sprayer and a cleaning cotton strip to ensure the cleaning effect of the reflector.

In practical applications, the sprayer first sprays the surface of the reflector to loosen the dirt. Subsequently, the cleaning cotton strip gently wipes the reflector to completely remove the loose dirt. This process ensures the cleanliness of the reflector and prepares it for the next step of heating and drying. The function of the heating tube is to heat the cleaned area synchronously and accelerate the drying process. After heating and drying, there is no moisture on the surface of the reflector, avoiding the formation of watermarks. At the same time, the heating and drying process can also kill bacteria, further ensuring the hygiene of the reflector. This cleaning method not only improves the reflective effect of the reflector, but also extends the service life of the reflector. A collection tank parallel to the reflector is provided on the bottom surface of the shell, which is conducive to collecting waste liquid generated during the cleaning process and avoiding environmental pollution. A waste liquid collection port is provided at the bottom of the shell to facilitate the discharge of waste liquid, further reducing the impact on the environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] Combination Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a dust removal system for a scanning reflector 2, comprising:

[0037] The housing 1 is a cubic structure with an opening at the top;

[0038] A reflector 2, one end of which is disposed inside the housing 1, and the reflector 2 is parallel to a side edge of the housing 1;

[0039] A rotating motor 3 is disposed on one side wall of the housing 1, and a driving end of the rotating motor 3 passes through the center of the reflector 2 and then extends into another side wall parallel to the side wall where the rotating motor 3 is located;

[0040] A moving assembly, which is arranged on two opposite side walls of the housing 1 in a vertical direction;

[0041] A dust removal component, which is disposed in the housing 1 and is used to remove dust from the reflector 2 in the housing 1;

[0042] The controller 4 is disposed on a side wall of the housing 1 , and the controller 4 is electrically connected to the rotating motor 3 , the moving component and the dust removal component.

[0043] It can be understood that the dust removal system of the scanning reflector 2 in this embodiment realizes automatic cleaning and dust removal of the reflector 2 through reasonable structural design. The close cooperation of the components such as the housing 1, the reflector 2, the rotating motor 3, the moving assembly, the dust removal assembly and the controller 4 makes the entire dust removal process automated, simple to operate and convenient to maintain. Driven by the rotating motor 3, the reflector 2 can rotate inside the housing 1 to ensure that all areas of the reflector 2 can be included in the interior of the housing 1 for cleaning. This design avoids the time limit for cleaning the reflector 2 and improves the cleaning efficiency. The dust removal assembly cleans the reflector 2. Through regular automatic cleaning and dust removal, the surface of the reflector 2 is kept clean, the accumulation of dirt and bacteria is reduced, and the service life of the reflector 2 is extended.

[0044] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the dust removal component includes:

[0045] A sprayer 5 is disposed on the inner side wall of the housing 1 opposite to the mirror surface of the reflector 2, and the sprayer 5 is electrically connected to the controller 4;

[0046] The cleaning liquid storage box 6 is arranged on the inner side wall of the housing 1 opposite to the mirror surface of the reflector 2, and the cleaning liquid storage box 6 is connected to the sprayer 5 through a liquid inlet pipe.

[0047] In a specific embodiment of the present application, a spray port 7 is provided on the spray machine 5 , and the spray port 7 faces the mirror surface of the reflector 2 .

[0048] It is understandable that the sprayer 5 in this embodiment is electrically connected to the controller 4, and the switch of the sprayer 5 can be automatically controlled. This means that when the mirror surface of the reflector 2 needs to be cleaned, the controller 4 can automatically start the sprayer 5 without manual intervention. The sprayer 5 is connected to the cleaning liquid storage box 6 through the liquid inlet pipe, and the cleaning liquid can be obtained at any time. When the sprayer 5 is started, it will spray the cleaning liquid evenly on the mirror surface of the reflector 2 in the form of a spray, effectively removing dust and dirt on the mirror surface. The sprayer 5 and the cleaning liquid storage box 6 are both arranged on the inner side wall of the housing 1 opposite to the mirror surface of the reflector 2, which not only saves space, but also makes the cleaning process more convenient and efficient. Due to the use of an automated control system, the frequency of manual cleaning is reduced, thereby reducing maintenance costs. At the same time, the design of the sprayer 5 and the cleaning liquid storage box 6 is also convenient for replacement and maintenance.

[0049] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the mobile component includes:
