Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of industrial production, in particular to a small fixed industrial code reader. Background Art

[0002] An industrial code reader is a device used to automatically identify and decode different types of barcodes, QR codes and other symbols. When performing material code reading operations, you need to rely on the code reader to identify and scan the code on the surface of the material. Conventional code readers are generally installed directly on the mounting frame of industrial profiles. The fixed connection method makes it difficult to adjust the angle of the code reader. At the same time, in the absence of sufficient lighting conditions, the code reader may have recognition anomalies. In addition, due to the different shapes of materials, the trademarks on some special-shaped materials will be in a shadow position, and the direct light source from top to bottom is difficult to illuminate the code, resulting in unclear code recognition.

[0003] Therefore, a small fixed industrial code reader is now developed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings that the fixed connection method of the existing device is difficult to adjust the angle of the code reader, and the code reader may recognize abnormalities in the absence of sufficient lighting conditions, and due to the different shapes of materials, the trademarks on some special-shaped materials will be in a shadow position, and the direct light source from top to bottom is difficult to illuminate the code, resulting in unclear code recognition, the utility model provides a small fixed industrial code reader.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is: a small fixed industrial code reader, comprising a base, a universal gooseneck tube connected to the left side of the base, a code reader housing connected to the left side of the universal gooseneck tube, a code scanning lens installed on the code reader housing, an illumination light source connected to the code reader housing, two upper and lower symmetrical connecting joints connected to the right side of the code reader housing, and an auxiliary lighting mechanism for auxiliary lighting and improving code reading and recognition efficiency is provided on the code reader housing.

[0006] As a further preferred solution, the auxiliary lighting mechanism includes a mounting frame, the mounting frame is connected to the front and rear sides of the code reader housing, the mounting frame is rotatably connected to a connecting rod, and the connecting rod is rotatably connected to an auxiliary light source.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment, a cable limiting mechanism is also included, which includes a fixed plate. Two adjacent fixed plates are connected to the right side of the code reader housing. Guide frames are connected to the right sides of the upper and lower parts of the code reader housing. Sliding plates are slidably connected to the guide frames. Reset springs are connected between the sliding plates and the adjacent guide frames.

[0008] As a further preferred solution, anti-collision frames are connected to both the upper and lower sides of the code reader housing.

[0009] As a further preferred solution, the illumination light sources are distributed in a circular shape around the periphery of the code scanning lens.

[0010] As a further preferred solution, the fixed plate and the sliding plate are both arc-shaped structures for fitting with the signal transmission line.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0012] 1. The utility model facilitates the adjustment of the angle of the scanning lens. Due to the different shapes of materials, the trademarks on some special-shaped materials will be in the shadow position, and the direct light source from top to bottom is difficult to illuminate the code. At this time, the connecting rod can be flipped so that the auxiliary light source can cooperate with the lighting light source for comprehensive illumination, avoiding the occurrence of blind spots in lighting, improving the scanning and recognition effect, and avoiding recognition anomalies.

[0013] 2. The utility model clamps and limits the signal transmission line through the cooperation of the sliding plate and the fixed plate, which effectively improves the connection stability of the signal transmission line and avoids the problem of signal transmission failure caused by loosening of the signal transmission line.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should also be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, terms such as: setting, installing, connecting, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] A small fixed industrial code reader, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a base 1, a universal gooseneck tube 2 is connected to the left side of the base 1, a code reader housing 3 is connected to the left side of the universal gooseneck tube 2, anti-collision frames are connected to the upper and lower sides of the code reader housing 3, a code scanning lens 4 is installed on the code reader housing 3, an illumination light source 5 is connected to the code reader housing 3, and the illumination light source 5 is distributed in a circle around the periphery of the code scanning lens 4, two upper and lower symmetrical connecting joints 6 are connected to the right side of the code reader housing 3, and an auxiliary lighting mechanism 7 for auxiliary lighting and improving the code reading and recognition efficiency is provided on the code reader housing 3.

[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the auxiliary lighting mechanism 7 includes a mounting frame 71, and the mounting frame 71 is connected to the front and rear sides of the code reader housing 3. The mounting frame 71 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 72, and the connecting rod 72 is rotatably connected to an auxiliary light source 73.

[0023] It should be noted that when performing the material code reading operation, it is necessary to rely on the code reader to identify and scan the code on the surface of the material. Conventional code readers are generally directly installed on the mounting bracket of the industrial profile. It is difficult to adjust the angle of the code reader in a fixed connection mode. At the same time, in the absence of sufficient lighting conditions, the code reader may have recognition abnormalities. The use of this device can effectively solve these problems. First, the base 1 is installed on the mounting bracket by bolts, and then the angle of the code reader housing 3 is adjusted by the universal gooseneck tube 2 to achieve the effect of quickly adjusting the angle of the scanning lens 4. After the adjustment is completed, the signal transmission line is connected to the connecting connector 6, and then the scanning lens is started to scan and identify the passing material code. If the light is not sufficient during the identification process, the lighting light source 5 can be started to assist in identification. When it is necessary to explain in particular, due to the different shapes of the materials, the trademarks on some special-shaped materials will be in a shadow position, and the direct light source from top to bottom is difficult to illuminate the code. At this time, the connecting rod 72 can be flipped so that the auxiliary light source 73 can cooperate with the lighting light source 5 for comprehensive illumination to avoid the occurrence of blind spots in lighting, so that the scanning and identification effect is improved and the recognition abnormality is avoided.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] On the basis of Example 1, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a cable limiting mechanism 8 is also included, and the cable limiting mechanism 8 includes a fixed plate 81. Two adjacent fixed plates 81 are connected to the right side of the code reader housing 3. Guide frames 82 are connected to the right sides of the upper and lower parts of the code reader housing 3. Sliding plates 83 are slidably connected to the guide frames 82. The fixed plate 81 and the sliding plate 83 are both arc-shaped structures for fitting with the signal transmission line. Reset springs 84 are connected between the sliding plates 83 and the adjacent guide frames 82.

[0026] It should be noted that when the signal transmission line is connected to the connecting connector 6, the sliding plates 83 need to be slid open along the guide frame 82. At this time, the reset springs 84 will be compressed, so that the signal transmission line can be quickly inserted into the connecting connector 6. When the signal transmission line is connected, the sliding plates 83 are released. Under the action of the reset springs 84, the sliding plates 83 will slide and reset, thereby cooperating with the fixed plates 81 to clamp and limit the signal transmission line to prevent the signal transmission line from loosening.

[0027] The technical principles of the embodiments of the present utility model are described above in combination with specific embodiments. These descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the embodiments of the present utility model, and cannot be interpreted in any way as limiting the protection scope of the embodiments of the present utility model. Based on the explanations here, technicians in this field can think of other specific implementation methods of the embodiments of the present utility model without creative work, and these methods will fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present utility model.
