Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sorting equipment, in particular to a sorting and scanning code device. Background Art

[0002] Fixed code readers are generally installed at the code scanning locations of each sorting line in the tobacco commercial logistics center. When sorting cigarette strips, every time a cigarette strip passes through the color mark sensor of the fixed code reader, the fixed code reader will be triggered to scan the QR code around the cigarette strip. During the scanning process of the fixed code reader, a dazzling flash will be emitted, which makes the eyes of the on-site workers feel very uncomfortable. In order to solve the flash problem emitted by the fixed code reader equipment during code scanning operations, a shading device is usually used to cover the fixed code reader's operation location. At present, the shading devices used at the fixed code reader operation locations on the market are generally simple PVC boards or aluminum boards, black plastic films, empty cartons, etc. These devices made of simple materials can all have a shading effect, but these devices are fixed and rigid and cannot be flexibly flipped open. When errors occur in the code scanning of the sorting line, direct intervention cannot be made. The device needs to be moved or directly disassembled to handle the code scanning failure, which is inconvenient for maintenance and seriously affects the work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0029] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a sorting and scanning device, including a bracket 1, a code reader 2 and a cover plate 3. A scanning channel 11 is reserved in the middle of the bracket 1, and the scanning channel 11 is used to be opposite to the sorting and conveying channel 51; the code reader 2 is fixed on the bracket 1, and the code reader 2 is arranged toward the sorting and conveying channel 51, and the code reader 2 is used to scan the cigarettes on the sorting and conveying channel 51; a plurality of cover plates 3 are provided, and the cover plates 3 are rotatably installed on the bracket 1; the cover plates 3 have a shielding state and an open state. In the shielding state, a plurality of cover plates 3 are surrounded on the outer peripheral side of the bracket 1 to form a shielding space that accommodates the scanning channel 11 and the code reader 2; in the open state, the cover plates 3 open the shielding space.

[0031] In the shielding state, a plurality of shielding plates 3 surround the outer peripheral side of the bracket 1 to form a shielding space that accommodates the code scanning channel 11 and the code reader 2, which has a light shielding effect and prevents the flash emitted during the scanning process of the code reader 2 from causing discomfort to the staff. The shielding plates 3 also have an open state. In the open state, the shielding plates 3 open the shielding space. When an error occurs in the code scanning of the sorting line, the shielding plates 3 can be opened to directly intervene in the code reader 2 or the cigarettes on the sorting conveying channel 51 without removing the shielding plates 3, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the code scanning device and reducing the impact on the efficiency of the code scanning operation.

[0032] It should be noted that the sorting and conveying channel 51 is a conveying channel on the sorting and conveying equipment, which is used to convey cigarette cartons during the sorting operation. The sorting and conveying equipment is the sorting conveyor belt 5, and the sorting and conveying channel 51 is a conveying channel on the sorting conveyor belt 5.

[0033] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of code readers 2 are respectively arranged on the upper side, left side and right side of the code scanning channel 11. At least two code readers 2 on the same side of the code scanning channel 11 are arranged opposite to each other and at an angle to achieve multi-directional scanning of the cigarettes on the sorting and conveying channel 51. The code readers 2 on the same side of the code scanning channel 11 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the code scanning channel 11 to expand the scanning range of the code readers 2. Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, two code readers 2 are arranged on the upper side of the code scanning channel 11, the two code readers 2 are arranged at a relative interval and at an angle, and the two code readers 2 are arranged tilted downward, facing the sorting and conveying channel 51. Three code readers 2 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the code scanning channel 11, the three code readers 2 are arranged at intervals, and the two code readers 2 at both ends are arranged at an angle and both face the sorting and conveying channel 51.

[0034] In order to facilitate the smooth entry of the cigarettes on the sorting and conveying channel 51 into the shielding space, the shielding plate 3 is spaced apart from the sorting and conveying channel 51 in the shielding state, thereby preventing the shielding plate 3 from blocking the transportation of the cigarettes.

[0035] The cover plate 3 is rotatably connected to the bracket 1, and the cover plate 3 can be switched between the shielding state and the opening state by manually pulling the cover plate 3, which is more flexible and convenient to operate. In some embodiments, the cover plate 3 is connected to the bracket 1 by a hinge, which has a simple structure and is convenient for rotation operation. A plurality of hinges can be provided at the connection between the cover plate 3 and the bracket 1 to ensure the stability of the connection between the cover plate 3 and the bracket 1.

[0036] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, four shielding plates 3 are provided, and the four shielding plates 3 are respectively arranged around the bracket 1. The shielding plates 3 enclose a rectangular shielding space in the shielding state. The four shielding plates 3 can be rotated and opened relative to the bracket 1 respectively without interfering with each other. When the shielding space needs to be opened, the states of the four shielding plates 3 can be the same or different. For example, some shielding plates 3 are in the shielding state, and some shielding plates 3 are in the open state; or, all shielding plates 3 are in the open state. However, when a shielding space needs to be formed, all shielding plates 3 need to be in the shielding state.

[0037] In some embodiments, the shielding plate 3 includes a plate layer and a shielding film, the shielding film is attached to one side of the plate layer, and the plate layer is a transparent plate, which is convenient for observing the cigarette sorting and scanning code status through the shielding plate 3. In some embodiments, the plate layer is an acrylic plate. The shielding film is a dark film, which can not only play a light-shielding role, but also facilitates direct observation of the operation of the code reader 2 from the outside, so that when the code reader 2 fails in scanning code operation, the shielding plate 3 can be opened in time for intervention.

[0038] See also Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the sorting and scanning device further includes a micro switch 4, which is used to be electrically connected to the sorting and conveying equipment. The micro switch 4 is installed at the connection between the cover plate 3 and the bracket 1. When the cover plate 3 switches between the shielding state and the open state, the micro switch 4 is triggered, and the stop signal of the sorting and conveying equipment is triggered through the micro switch 4. When the cover plate 3 is in the shielding state, the cover plate 3 presses on the micro switch 4, triggering the switch button of the micro switch 4, so that the contacts of the micro switch 4 are turned on, so that the signal of the sorting and conveying equipment is connected and can work normally. When the cover plate 3 is opened, the micro switch 4 loses the pressing effect of the cover plate 3, and the micro switch 4 releases the pressure and resets, and is in a normally open state. There is no conduction between the contacts, so that the signal connection of the sorting and conveying equipment is disconnected, and the stop signal of the sorting and conveying equipment is triggered, so that the sorting and conveying equipment stops working.

[0039] When the sorting and conveying device is a sorting conveyor belt 5, the sorting and conveying device has a stop switch 52, and the stop switch 52 is electrically connected to the micro switch 4, so that when the micro switch 4 is triggered, the stop switch 52 is actuated to stop the sorting conveyor belt 5 from conveying.

[0040] The micro switch 4 is normally in an off state, and the contacts are in an off state. When the button of the micro switch 4 is pressed, the contacts are conductive. The structure of the micro switch 4 is prior art. For example, the model of the micro switch 4 can be a V-156-1C25 type micro switch 4 of the 1185RE8 class.

[0041] In some embodiments, a plurality of micro switches 4 are provided, which are arranged one by one corresponding to each cover plate 3. Operating any cover plate 3 can trigger the corresponding micro switch 4, so that the sorting conveyor belt 5 stops conveying.

[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the bracket 1 is a frame structure, which is convenient for fixing and installing components such as the code reader 2, the cover plate 3, and the micro switch 4. The bracket 1 is connected to the support frame of the sorting conveyor 5. The bracket 1 includes a frame body and a plurality of support rods connected to the frame body, the frame body is used to connect to the support frame of the sorting conveyor 5, and the support rods are used to install the code reader 2 and the cover plate 3, etc.

[0043] The working process of the utility model is:

[0044] The cigarette strips are transported by the sorting conveyor belt 5. During the transportation of the cigarette strips, the barcode reader 2 scans the cigarette strips. During the scanning operation of the barcode reader 2, the flash emitted by the barcode reader 2 is shielded by the shielding state of the shielding plate 3. When the barcode reader 2 fails in the scanning operation, the shielding plate 3 is flipped over to switch the shielding plate 3 from the shielding state to the open state, and the operator reaches into the shielding space to intervene in the scanning operation of the barcode reader 2. When the shielding plate 3 is flipped open, the stop switch 52 is triggered, prompting the sorting conveyor belt 5 to stop conveying. After the maintenance of the barcode reader 2 is completed, the shielding plate 3 is flipped in the opposite direction to switch the shielding plate 3 from the open state to the shielding state. The shielding plate 3 presses on the micro switch 4, triggering the micro switch 4, prompting the sorting conveyor belt 5 to start conveying.

[0045] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
