The change or adjustment of its relative relationship should also be regarded as the scope of the present invention without substantial change of the technical content.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, some embodiments of the present application provide a scanning device, including a frame 1, a lifting mechanism 2 and a scanning mechanism 3. The lifting mechanism 2 is installed on the frame 1, and the scanning mechanism 3 is installed on the lifting mechanism 2. The lifting mechanism 2 can drive the scanning mechanism 3 to move back and forth along the height direction of the frame 1, so that multiple materials stacked along the height direction of the frame 1 can be scanned, so that the scanning mechanism 3 can complete the scanning of multiple materials in one scan, which is conducive to improving the scanning efficiency of the scanning device of the present invention.

[0029] The scanning mechanism 3 includes a moving component and a scanning component, and the scanning component is installed on the moving component so that the moving component can drive the scanning component to approach or move away from the material, so as to adjust the scanning component to the optimal scanning distance between the material and the material, so as to clearly scan the information on the material, which is conducive to improving the scanning accuracy of the scanning component. At the same time, because the scanning component can approach or move away from the material, the scanning device of the present application can adapt to materials of different sizes, which is conducive to improving the versatility of the scanning device of the present application.

[0030] In some embodiments, in order to further improve the scanning efficiency of the scanning device of the present application, more than one scanning mechanism 3 is provided, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., and is provided according to actual needs. Multiple scanning mechanisms 3 are respectively located in the circumference of the material to form a scanning area, which is convenient for scanning materials stacked in multiple directions at the same height.

[0031] In this embodiment, four scanning mechanisms 3 are provided, and the four scanning mechanisms 3 enclose a square scanning area so as to scan materials stacked in four directions at the same height.

[0032] It should be noted that the lifting mechanism 2 and the scanning mechanism 3 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, that is, one lifting mechanism 2 drives one scanning mechanism 3 to move along the height direction of the frame 1, which is conducive to improving the flexibility of the scanning device of the present application. When only one scanning mechanism 3 is needed for scanning, only one set of lifting mechanism 2 and scanning mechanism 3 needs to be started.

[0033] In order to improve the stability of the lifting mechanism 2 driving the scanning mechanism 3 to move along the height direction of the frame 1, the frame 1 is provided with more than two columns 11, and each lifting mechanism 2 is arranged between two adjacent columns 11. The number of the columns 11 is determined according to the number of the lifting mechanisms 2.

[0034] In this embodiment, four lifting mechanisms 2 and four columns 11 are provided, one lifting mechanism 2 is arranged between two adjacent columns 11 , and one scanning mechanism 3 is arranged on each lifting mechanism 2 .

[0035] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 2 includes a second guide member 21 and a mounting plate 22. The second guide member 21 is mounted on two adjacent columns 11, and the height direction of the column 11 is consistent with the guide direction of the second guide member 21, so that the lifting mechanism 2 can drive the scanning mechanism 3 to move along the height direction of the frame 1. The mounting plate 22 is mounted on the second guide member 21 and straddles between two adjacent columns 11. The scanning mechanism 3 is mounted in the middle of the mounting plate 22, that is, in the gap between two adjacent columns 11, so that the scanning mechanism 3 is not blocked in front when scanning the material.

[0036] Exemplarily, the second guide member 21 guides the movement of the mounting plate 22 , including but not limited to being set as a linear guide rail or the like.

[0037] Exemplarily, the mounting plate 22 may be configured to be composed of a connecting plate mounted on the second guide member 21 and a profile located between the two connecting plates.

[0038] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 2 also includes a transmission assembly and a driving assembly. The driving assembly is mounted on the mounting plate 22; the transmission assembly includes a gear 23 and a rack 24 that are mounted in a matching manner. Racks 24 are mounted on two adjacent columns 11, and the racks 24 are arranged in parallel with the second guide member 21. The gear 23 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 22 and is connected to the driving assembly. When the driving assembly drives the gear 23 to rotate, the gear 23 and the rack 24 engage to drive the mounting plate 22 to move along the guide direction of the second guide member 21. When the driving assembly drives the mounting plate 22 to stop midway during the movement, the arrangement of the gear 23 and the rack 24 is conducive to improving the stability of the mounting plate 22 when it stops midway.

[0039] It should be noted that each lifting mechanism 2 has two second guide members 21 installed on a column 11, and the rack 24 is installed between the two second guide members 21. When the rotation of the gear 23 drives itself to move along the length direction of the rack 24, the second guide member 21 guides the movement of the gear 23.

[0040] Exemplarily, in order to prevent the driving assembly from failing and the lifting mechanism 2 from falling freely, the lifting mechanism 2 is further provided with a fall arrester 25 .

[0041] In some embodiments, the driving assembly includes a second driving member 26 and a rotating shaft 27, and the rotating shaft 27 is mounted on the driving end of the second driving member 26 so that the second driving member 26 can drive the rotating shaft 27 to rotate. The rotating shaft 27 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 22 through a bearing seat, and is straddled between two adjacent columns 11, and gears 23 are installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 27. When the second driving member 26 drives the rotating shaft 27 to rotate, the rotating shaft 27 drives the gear 23 to rotate synchronously, so as to drive the scanning mechanism 3 to move along the height direction of the frame 1.

[0042] Exemplarily, the second driving member 26 provides driving force for the rotation of the driving shaft, including but not limited to being set as a servo motor or the like.

[0043] Exemplarily, the rotating shaft 27 may be provided in multiple sections, and each section of the rotating shaft 27 may be connected by a coupling.

[0044] It should be noted that a clearance opening 221 is provided on the mounting plate 22 , and the gear 23 cooperates with the rack 24 through the clearance opening 221 .

[0045] It should be noted that the frame 1 further includes a shell 12 arranged around the column 11 , and the column 11 and the shell 12 form a receiving cavity, and the lifting mechanism 2 is located in the receiving cavity to increase the overall aesthetics.

[0046] In some embodiments, the scanning component includes a distance detector 31 and a scanner 32. The distance detector 31 is used to detect the distance between the scanner 32 and the material. The detected distance and the preset scanning distance between the scanner 32 and the material can determine the distance that the moving component needs to drive the scanner 32 to move, thereby improving the clarity of the scanner 32 scanning and the accuracy of subsequent recognition.

[0047] It should be noted that only one distance detector 31 may be provided for a scanning component; more than one scanner 32 may be provided, and multiple scanners 32 may be provided at intervals. The spacing between two adjacent scanners 32 is set according to the transverse scanning area of ​​a single scanner 32, and the transverse scanning area between two adjacent scanners 32 should be provided with an intersection. The number of scanners 32 may be determined according to the total transverse scanning area set by the scanning component and the transverse scanning area of ​​a single scanner 32.

[0048] In some embodiments, in order to enable the scanner 32 to clearly scan the information on the material, the scanning component includes a light source 33. The light source 33 is located on both sides of the scanner 32 along the height direction of the rack 1, and provides illumination when the scanner 32 scans the material information.

[0049] It should be noted that one scanning component is provided with more than two light sources 33 , and the specific number is determined according to the total transverse scanning area provided by the scanning component and the transverse irradiation area of ​​a single light source 33 .

[0050] Exemplarily, the light source 33 provides illumination for the scanner 32 , including but not limited to an LED lamp, a shadowless lamp, etc.

[0051] In some embodiments, the moving assembly includes a first driving member 34 and a first guide member 35. The scanning assembly is mounted on the driving end of the first driving member 34 and connected to the first guide member 35. The first driving member 34 drives the scanning assembly to move along the guide direction of the first guide member 35 to move the scanner 32 to a preset scanning distance from the material.

[0052] Exemplarily, the first driving member 34 provides driving force for the movement of the scanning assembly, including but not limited to being set as a linear cylinder, a motor module, etc. The first guiding member 35 guides the movement of the scanning assembly, including but not limited to being set as a linear guide rail, etc.

[0053] It should be noted that the moving assembly further includes a first adapter plate 36, which is mounted on the mounting plate 22. The first driving member 34 is mounted on the first adapter plate 36 via the second adapter plate, and the first guide member 35 is mounted on the first adapter plate 36 via the second adapter plate. The scanning assembly further includes a fourth adapter plate, which is mounted on the driving end of the first driving member 34 and connected to the first guide member 35. The distance detector 31, the scanner 32 and the light source 33 are mounted on the fourth adapter plate via other connecting members.

[0054] In actual application of the present application, after the material enters the scanning area, the light source 33 is turned on, and the distance detector 31 detects the distance between the scanner 32 and the material. Subsequently, the moving component moves the scanner 32 to a preset scanning distance between the material and the scanner 32 according to the distance detected by the distance detector 31. After the scanning mechanism 3 located at the initial position in the height direction completes scanning the material corresponding to the position, the lifting mechanism 2 drives the scanning mechanism 3 to move downward along the height direction of the frame 1 to move the scanning mechanism 3 to the next vertical scanning area. After the scanning mechanism 3 completes scanning of all materials in the vertical scanning area, the lifting mechanism 2 moves the scanning mechanism 3 to the initial position to prepare for the next scan.

[0055] It should be noted that each vertical scanning area is set according to the vertical scanning area of ​​the scanner 32, and an intersection is set between two adjacent vertical scanning areas to avoid missing material information. The initial position of the scanning mechanism 3 in the height direction is set at the highest point of the frame 1. When the material is placed in the scanning area, if the highest point of the material is lower than the initial position of the scanning mechanism 3, the lifting mechanism 2 drives the scanning mechanism 3 to move downward along the height direction of the frame 1 until the distance detector 31 detects the material.

[0056] Furthermore, whether the material enters the scanning area can be detected and identified by a detector or manually identified.

[0057] To sum up, the scanning device provided by the utility model has a lifting mechanism arranged on a frame, and the lifting mechanism can drive the scanning mechanism to move along the height direction of the frame, so that the scanning mechanism can scan multiple materials stacked along the height direction of the frame, so that the scanning mechanism can complete the scanning of multiple materials in one scan, which is beneficial to improving the scanning efficiency of the scanning device of the utility model; and a moving component is arranged on the scanning mechanism, and the moving component can drive the scanning component to approach or move away from the material in the direction of the material, so as to adjust the scanning component to the optimal scanning distance between the material, so as to clearly scan the information on the material, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the scanned information, and also is beneficial to improving the versatility of the scanning device of the utility model.
