[0032] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0033] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present invention, its application, or uses.

[0034] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered as part of the specification.

[0035] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0036] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0037] The following first describes in detail the code scanning device 1 according to an embodiment of the utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the code scanning device 1 according to the embodiment of the utility model has a code scanning station a, and the code scanning device 1 includes: a conveying component 10, a first code scanning component and a second code scanning component 30.

[0039] Specifically, the conveying component 10 is used to convey the jig 3 to the scanning station a, and the jig 3 is used to load the battery 2 extending along the first direction. The first scanning component is provided at the scanning station a, and is used to scan the jig 3 to obtain the jig information. The second scanning component 30 is provided at the scanning station a, and is used to scan the battery 2 to obtain the battery information.

[0040] In other words, the barcode scanning device 1 according to the embodiment of the utility model is mainly composed of a conveying component 10, a first barcode scanning component and a second barcode scanning component 30. Among them, the first barcode scanning component and the second barcode scanning component 30 are respectively arranged at the barcode scanning station a, and the conveying component 10 can pass through the barcode scanning station a and can convey the fixture 3 loaded with the battery 2 to the barcode scanning station a for scanning.

[0041] The battery 2 may extend along the first direction when in the fixture 3. For example, the battery 2 may be a cylindrical battery, and the axis of the cylindrical battery may extend along the first direction. Alternatively, the battery 2 may be a square-shell battery, and one long side thereof may extend along the first direction. Optionally, the first direction may be a vertical direction, and the conveying assembly 10 may convey the battery 2 in a horizontal direction.

[0042] The fixture 3 may include but is not limited to a tray, the bottom of the cylindrical battery may be accommodated in the tray, the inner diameter of the tray may be substantially the same as the diameter of the cylindrical battery, and the top of the cylindrical battery may be higher than the tray so that a portion of the cylinder is exposed from the tray.

[0043] The fixture 3 and the battery 2 may be provided with scanned items that can be scanned and identified, and the scanned items may include but are not limited to one or more of a QR code 4, a barcode, a character code, and an RFID chip.

[0044] When the jig 3 loaded with the battery 2 is delivered to the code scanning station a, the first code scanning component can scan the jig 3 to obtain the current information of the jig 3 as the jig information, and the second code scanning component 30 can scan the battery 2 to obtain the current information of the battery 2 in the jig 3 as the battery information. The jig information and the battery information may include but are not limited to coding. The scanning method may include but is not limited to one or more of barcode scanning, OCR optical character recognition scanning, and RFID chip scanning.

[0045] Therefore, according to the scanning device 1 of the embodiment of the utility model, the second scanning component 30 is used to directly scan the battery 2, so as to directly obtain the battery information, instead of relying on the fixture information to infer, and then use the scanning component to scan the fixture 3 to obtain the fixture information, and the fixture information is used to verify the battery information, thereby realizing double traceability scanning, ensuring that the identity information of the battery 2 is correct, and can effectively avoid the risk of inconsistency between the fixture information of the fixture 3 and the battery 2 actually loaded in the fixture 3, which is conducive to realizing the accuracy of battery information in the production process of the battery 2.

[0046] In the utility model, the scanning device 1 of this embodiment can realize high-speed scanning at 400 PPM, and ensure that the battery 2 and the fixture 3 are scanned synchronously, ensuring that the battery information and the fixture information are completely corresponding.

[0047] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the first barcode scanning component includes a first barcode scanning gun 21, which is arranged at the barcode scanning station a and is used to scan the QR code 4 on the fixture 3 to obtain the fixture information.

[0048] Specifically, at least one QR code 4 may be provided on the fixture 3, and the first barcode scanner 21 may scan the QR code 4 on the fixture 3 to obtain the fixture information. The QR code 4 may be provided on the outer peripheral surface of the fixture 3 or on the bottom of the fixture 3, which is not limited here.

[0049] When the QR code 4 is set on the outer peripheral surface of the jig 3, multiple QR codes 4 can be set on each jig 3 and arranged along the circumference of the jig 3. Therefore, there is no need to rotate and adjust the position of the jig 3, and the first barcode scanner 21 can be used for fast scanning, which is beneficial to improving the scanning efficiency, thereby increasing the conveying speed of the conveying component 10 and improving the production rhythm.

[0050] According to some other embodiments of the utility model, the first barcode scanning component further includes a first adjustment mechanism 22, which is connected to the first barcode scanning gun 21, and the first adjustment mechanism 22 is used to adjust the posture of the first barcode scanning gun 21 so that the first barcode scanning gun 21 can be aligned with the two-dimensional code 4 on the fixture 3. For example, the position of the first barcode scanning gun 21 in the first direction is adjusted, and / or, the inclination angle of the first barcode scanning gun 21 relative to the first direction is adjusted.

[0051] Since the specifications of the batteries 2 conveyed by the conveying component 10 are different, the specifications of the jigs 3 used are also different. The specifications of the jigs 3 can correspond to the batteries 2. The heights and circumferential positions of the QR codes 4 on different jigs 3 are different. Therefore, a first adjustment mechanism 22 is provided to adjust the posture of the first barcode scanning gun 21, so that the barcode scanning device 1 of the utility model can adapt to jigs 3 and batteries 2 of different sizes, which is beneficial to improving the applicability of the barcode scanning device 1.

[0052] It should be noted that the adjustment method of the first adjustment mechanism 22 can be manual, or it can be automatic, such as electric, pneumatic, etc., which is not limited here. When producing the same batch of batteries 2, the first barcode scanner 21 can be adjusted to a suitable position by the first adjustment mechanism 22 before production, and then continuous production can be started. When the size of the battery 2 to be produced changes and causes the fixture 3 to change, the position of the first barcode scanner 21 can be adjusted again by the first adjustment mechanism 22 to meet the new production requirements.

[0053] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, the first adjustment mechanism 22 includes a first support rod 221, a second support rod 222, a first locking member 223 and a connecting member 224. The first support rod 221 extends along the first direction. The second support rod 222 extends along the second direction. The first locking member 223 is used to lock or unlock the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222. The first support rod 221 is movable relative to the first locking member 223 along the first direction, and the second support rod 222 is movable relative to the first locking member 223 along the second direction. The first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 are respectively rotatable relative to the first locking member 223 around their own axes; the connecting member 224 is rotatably provided on the second support rod 222 around an axis extending along the third direction, and the first adjustment mechanism is connected to the connecting member 224. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction intersect with each other.

[0054] In other words, the first adjustment mechanism 22 can be mainly composed of a first support rod 221, a second support rod 222, a first locking member 223 and a connecting member 224, wherein the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 are perpendicular to each other, and the first support rod 221 and the second support rod 222 can be locked and fixed by the first locking member 223 to form an L-shaped frame.

[0055] For the sake of convenience, the first direction can be defined as the Z-axis direction, the second direction as the X-axis direction, and the third direction as the Y-axis direction. It should be noted that since the first locking member 223, the second support rod 222 and the connecting member 224 are movable, the second direction and the third direction are not fixed directions. The second direction refers to the extension direction of the axis of the second support rod 222 at any time, and the second support rod 222 is always perpendicular to the first support rod 221. The third direction is a direction that can be perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction.

[0056] The first support rod 221 can extend along the Z axis, and the second support rod 222 can extend along the X axis. The first support rod 221 can be fixedly arranged, the first locking member 223 can slide relative to the first support rod 221 along the Z axis, and the second support rod 222 can slide relative to the first locking member 223 along the X axis. The first locking member 223 can rotate relative to the first support rod 221 around the Z axis, and the second support rod 222 can rotate relative to the first locking member 223 around the X axis. The end of the second support rod 222 can be rotatably connected to a connecting member 224, and the connecting member 224 can rotate around the Y axis. The first barcode scanner 21 can be connected to the connecting member 224, thereby, by adjusting the first locking member 223, the second support rod 222 and the connecting member 224, the first barcode scanner 21 can obtain the freedom of translation along the X axis direction and the Z axis direction and the freedom of rotation around the X axis, the Y axis and the Z axis, so as to flexibly adjust the posture of the first barcode scanner 21 to meet the needs of different fixtures 3.

[0057] When the first locking member 223 is locked, the first support rod 221, the first locking member 223 and the second support rod 222 can be locked, and relative movement between the three cannot be performed, thereby fixing the first barcode scanning gun 21 at a desired position.

[0058] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the first barcode scanning component includes a barcode scanner 23, which is disposed at the barcode scanning station a and is used to read the chip in the fixture 3 to obtain the fixture information.

[0059] Specifically, the fixture 3 may have a built-in chip, which may include but is not limited to an RFID chip. The barcode scanner 23 may be fixedly arranged on the barcode scanning station a, and scan the chip in the fixture 3 at the barcode scanning station a to read the fixture information in the chip.

[0060] In this embodiment, a chip code reading method is adopted for code reading, which can be read without physical contact, and has the advantages of long life, high durability, high safety, and strong environmental adaptability.

[0061] According to some other embodiments of the present invention, the second barcode scanning component 30 includes a second barcode scanning gun 31, which is disposed at the barcode scanning station a and is used to scan the QR code 4 on the battery 2 to obtain battery information.

[0062] Specifically, at least one QR code 4 may be provided on the battery 2, and the second barcode scanner may scan the QR code 4 on the battery 2 to obtain battery information. The QR code 4 may be provided on the outer circumference of the battery 2 or on the top of the battery 2, which is not limited here.

[0063] Alternatively, if Figure 6As shown, when the two-dimensional code 4 is set on the outer circumference of the battery 2, multiple two-dimensional codes 4 can be set on each battery 2 and arranged along the circumference of the battery 2, so that the second barcode scanner can be used to quickly scan the battery 2 without rotating and adjusting the position of the fixture 3, which is conducive to improving the scanning efficiency, thereby increasing the conveying speed of the conveying assembly 10 and improving the production cycle. For example, 6 to 8 two-dimensional codes 4 can be arranged on the circumference of the battery 2.

[0064] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the second barcode scanning component 30 further includes a second adjustment mechanism 32, which is connected to the second barcode scanning gun 31, and is used to adjust the posture of the second barcode scanning gun 31 so that the first barcode scanning gun 21 can be aligned with the two-dimensional code 4 on the fixture 3. For example, the position of the first barcode scanning gun 21 in the first direction is adjusted, and / or, the angle of rotation of the first barcode scanning gun 21 around a preset axis is adjusted, and the preset axis extends along the first direction.

[0065] Since the specifications of the batteries 2 conveyed by the conveying assembly 10 are different, the heights and circumferential positions of the QR codes 4 on different batteries 2 are different. Therefore, a second adjustment mechanism 32 is provided to adjust the posture of the second barcode scanning gun 31. This can make the barcode scanning device 1 of the utility model adaptable to batteries 2 of different sizes and specifications, which is beneficial to improving the applicability of the barcode scanning device 1.

[0066] It should be noted that the adjustment method of the second adjustment mechanism 32 can be manual, or it can be automatic, such as electric, pneumatic, etc., which is not limited here. When producing the same batch of batteries 2, the second barcode scanner 31 can be adjusted to a suitable position by the second adjustment mechanism 32 before production, and then continuous production can be started. When the size of the battery 2 to be produced changes and causes the fixture 3 to change, the position of the second barcode scanner 31 can be adjusted again by the second adjustment mechanism 32 to meet the new production requirements.

[0067] According to some optional embodiments of the utility model, the second adjustment mechanism 32 includes a bracket 321, a third support rod 322 and a second locking member 323. The third support rod 322 extends along the first direction, the third support rod 322 is rotatably arranged on the bracket 321 around its own axis, and the third support rod 322 is movable relative to the bracket 321 along the first direction. The second locking member 323 is used to lock or unlock the third support rod 322 and the bracket 321.

[0068] In other words, the second adjustment mechanism 32 is mainly composed of a bracket 321, a third support rod 322 and a third locking member. Among them, the bracket 321 can be fixedly arranged. Optionally, the bracket 321 can be a gantry, and the gantry can include two first rods 3211 and a second rod 3212. The first rod 3211 can extend along the first direction, and the two first rods 3211 can still be arranged radially spaced apart from the battery 2 at the scanning station a. The second rod 3212 can be perpendicular to the first rod 3211 and connect the two first rods 3211. The second rod 3212 is movable relative to the first rod 3211 along the first direction.

[0069] The second locking member 323 can be connected between the second rod 3212 and the third rod 322, and the second locking member 323 can rotate around the axis of the second rod 3212, and the third rod can rotate around its own axis relative to the second locking member 323. The second locking member 323 can slide along the second rod 3212, and the third rod can slide relative to the second locking member 323 along the first direction.

[0070] The second barcode scanning gun 31 can be connected to the third rod, and the connection here can be a direct connection or an indirect connection, which is not limited here.

[0071] When the second locking member 323 is locked, the second rod 3212, the second locking member 323 and the third support rod 322 can be locked, and the three cannot move relative to each other, thereby fixing the second barcode scanner 31 at a desired position. The second barcode scanner 31 can be located on the outer peripheral side of the battery 2 and aligned with the QR code 4 on the outer peripheral surface of the battery 2.

[0072] According to some other embodiments of the utility model, the number of the second barcode scanning guns 31 is multiple, and the second adjustment mechanism 32 also includes a connecting block 324, which is connected to the third support rod 322, and the multiple second barcode scanning guns 31 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the third support rod 322 and are respectively connected to the connecting block 324.

[0073] Specifically, the third support rod 322 may be provided with a connecting block 324, which may be used to carry and install multiple second barcode scanners 31. Multiple second barcode scanners 31 may be arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the battery 2. In the process of scanning the battery 2, as long as one of the multiple second barcode scanners 31 can successfully scan the QR code 4 on the battery 2, the battery 2 is scanned once, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of scanning.

[0074] Optionally, the connecting block 324 may be in the shape of a polygonal column, having a plurality of sides with equal areas, and each side may be connected to a second barcode scanning gun 31. Figure 3As shown, the connecting block 324 may be in the shape of a pentagonal prism, and the number of the second barcode scanning guns 31 is five, and the five second barcode scanning guns 31 are arranged on the five sides of the pentagonal prism in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0075] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the conveying assembly includes a base 11 and a star wheel 12. A track 111 is provided on the base 11 for guiding the fixture 3 to move along the track 111, and the code scanning station a is provided at the end of the track 111. The star wheel 12 is rotatably provided on the base 11 around its own axis for conveying the fixture 3 into the track 111.

[0076] Specifically, the base 11 can be fixedly arranged, the first support rod 221, the bracket 321 and the barcode scanner 23 can be fixedly connected to the base 11 respectively, and the base 11 can include a flat plate.

[0077] Except for the barcode scanner 23, the first barcode scanner 21, the first adjustment mechanism 22, the second barcode scanner 31 and the second adjustment mechanism 32 are all arranged above the base 11, and the barcode scanner 23 can be arranged below the base 11 and fixed below the base 11 through a U-shaped connection structure.

[0078] The upper surface of the base 11 may be provided with a track 111 for guiding the movement of the jig 3, the star wheel 12 may have a plurality of grooves suitable for accommodating the jig 3, the star wheel 12 may be rotatably arranged above the base 11 around its own axis, the star wheel 12 may rotate and transport the jig 3 loaded with the battery 2 from the feed port to the code scanning station a, the code scanning station a may be located at the starting end of the track 111, and a portion of the second code scanning assembly 30 may be located above the star wheel 12 to save installation space.

[0079] In this embodiment, the star wheel 12 cooperates with the first scanning assembly and the second scanning assembly 30 to realize high-speed transportation of the battery 2 and simultaneous dual traceability scanning, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the battery information.

[0080] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the code scanning device 1 further includes a controller, which is respectively connected to the first code scanning component and the second code scanning component 30, and is used to receive the fixture information and the battery information and determine whether the fixture information and the battery information match.

[0081] Specifically, the controller may include but is not limited to a computer and a single-chip microcomputer. When the controller determines that the jig information and the battery information match, the jig 3 and the battery 2 thereon can continue to be transported to the next station to complete subsequent processing or storage. When the controller determines that the jig information and the battery information do not match, the jig 3 can be removed by the subsequent material removal device 5 to complete NG material removal, and the NG battery 2 can be recycled later.

[0082] The embodiment of the utility model further provides a sorting device 100, which includes a code reading device according to any of the above embodiments.

[0083] Since the code reading device according to the embodiment of the utility model has the above-mentioned technical effects, the sorting equipment 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model also has the corresponding technical effects, that is, the second code scanning component 30 is used to directly scan the battery 2, so as to directly obtain the battery information, instead of relying on the fixture information to infer, and then use the code scanning component to scan the fixture 3 to obtain the fixture information, and the fixture information is verified against the battery information, thereby realizing double traceability scanning, ensuring that the identity information of the battery 2 is correct, and can effectively avoid the risk of inconsistency between the fixture information of the fixture 3 and the battery 2 actually loaded in the fixture 3, which is conducive to realizing the accuracy of battery information in the production process of the battery 2.

[0084] The present invention also provides a method for scanning a code, comprising the following steps:

[0085] Transport the fixture 3 loaded with the battery 2 to the code scanning station a;

[0086] Scan the code of the fixture 3 to obtain the fixture information, and scan the code of the battery 2 to obtain the battery information;

[0087] Determine whether the obtained fixture information matches the battery information.

[0088] It should be noted that the matching judgment of the fixture information and the battery information can be performed by electronic devices such as a controller, or can be performed manually, which is not limited here.

[0089] In this embodiment, the battery 2 and the fixture 3 are scanned respectively at the scanning station a to obtain the corresponding battery information and fixture information, and then the fixture information is matched and verified with the battery information, thereby realizing double traceability scanning and ensuring that the identity information of the battery 2 is correct. This can effectively avoid the risk of inconsistency between the fixture information of the fixture 3 and the battery 2 actually loaded in the fixture 3, and is conducive to realizing the accuracy of battery information during the production process of the battery 2.

[0090] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the method of obtaining the fixture information includes QR code scanning and RFID scanning.
