[0002] At present, there are a wide variety of hydrological instruments, including integrated rain gauges, integrated float water level gauges, integrated radar water level gauges and other products for collecting and remotely measuring multiple hydrological elements, as well as comprehensive instrument products including automatic evaporators and cableway consoles. During traditional production, quality inspection and sales, product information is recorded manually and saved as paper documents. There are problems such as a large workload for later operation and maintenance search, inability to timely grasp the equipment conditions of each link, uncertain equipment flow, and users being unable to distinguish the authenticity of products. Hydrological instruments are different from conventional industrial mass-produced products. Because the product batch is small and the inspection accuracy requirements are high, each instrument needs to be inspected one by one. At the same time, the inspection process data directly affects the on-site use effect. Therefore, the two-dimensional code should not only include the above production process information. Since the inspection coefficients of each instrument are different, when the customer gets the equipment, they can also obtain the factory inspection coefficient of the equipment by scanning the two-dimensional code for application in the actual environment. How to achieve product anti-counterfeiting traceability of hydrological instruments has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The following further describes the embodiments of the present utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] The present utility model discloses an anti-counterfeiting and traceability system for hydrological instruments. The anti-counterfeiting and traceability system for hydrological instruments includes an appearance quality inspection table, a first barcode printer, a first conveyor device, a second conveyor device, a first barcode preset table, a second barcode preset table, a second barcode printer, a quality inspection system, a warehousing platform, and a packing platform;
[0030] Tools for appearance quality inspection of hydrological instruments and barcode position marking devices are stored at the appearance quality inspection table;
[0031] The appearance quality inspection table is connected to the first barcode preset table through the first conveyor device and to the second barcode preset table through the second conveyor device; the first barcode preset table and the second barcode preset table correspond to comprehensive instruments and sensor instruments respectively;
[0032] The first barcode printer and the second barcode printer are respectively located at the first barcode preset table and the second barcode preset table, and generate corresponding product codes and outer frame marks of corresponding shapes according to the product type and instrument number input by the staff. The generated product codes are provided with release paper; tape cutting machines are also included at the first barcode preset table and the second barcode preset table;
[0033] The quality inspection system is used to conduct quality inspection on the hydrological instruments pasted with outer frame marks. The qualified products are conveyed to the warehousing platform to perform warehousing information registration and product code pasting processing;
[0034] The warehousing platform includes product warehousing information input devices and a third barcode printer for generating box codes;
[0035] The packing platform is used to pack the hydrological instruments pasted with product codes and paste the box codes generated by the third barcode printer on the outer box.
[0036] The appearance quality inspection table includes a table body, an under-table storage area and an on-table storage area; the under-table storage area is used to store the appearance quality inspection tools for comprehensive instruments including automatic evaporators and cableway consoles, and the on-table storage area is used to store the appearance quality inspection tools for sensor instruments including current meters, flow meters, rain gauges, and water level sensors.
[0037] Generally, comprehensive instruments including automatic evaporators and cableway consoles are assembled from many components, so they are large in both weight and volume and are usually placed on the ground. Therefore, it is more reasonable to place the corresponding appearance quality inspection tools in the under-table storage area. Although the sensor instruments including current meters, flow meters, rain gauges, and water level sensors have different shapes, they are small in both volume and weight and are prone to being knocked. More often, they are placed on the table body for appearance quality inspection. Therefore, it is more convenient to place the corresponding appearance quality inspection tools in the on-table storage area.
[0038] Similarly, considering the appearance quality inspection processes of comprehensive instruments and sensor instruments, the first conveying device includes a conveyor belt and a receiving box fixed on the conveyor belt. Placing the sensor instruments in the receiving box for transmission can effectively prevent some irregular hydrological instruments from falling; the second conveying device uses a conveyor belt set on the ground to reduce the transmission risk and handling difficulty of comprehensive instruments.
[0039] After the appearance quality inspection is completed, the staff will use a barcode position marking device to mark the corresponding positions on the hydrological instruments for the convenience of barcode processing in subsequent processes. This is because generally the appearance inspection is relatively fast and usually only one work station is set, while the subsequent quality inspection process and warehousing process are both slow. Especially for the quality inspection process, multiple work stations may be set at the same time. Therefore, when inspecting the appearance of the products, a special person designates the barcode positions. In addition to speeding up the subsequent process speed, it can also reduce the risk of inconsistent barcode positions. Preferably, the barcode position marking device uses an erasable water-based pen.
[0040] In this example, there are two types of anti-counterfeiting traceability codes: box codes and product codes. Among them, the box code size is 33×33mm, and the position is generally pasted at the upper right corner of the outer packaging, such as Figure 1As shown. The size of the product code is generally 22×22mm. Depending on the different types of products involved and the shape differences, the pasting positions are also different. Flow velocity and flow rate products are generally contact sensors, so there is an underwater usage environment, and their shapes are irregular, mostly cylindrical. Therefore, the QR code is pasted on the tail fin of the sensor, as Figure 2 shown. The tail fin is not a cylindrical part and is firmly pasted. Moreover, the tail fin does not need to be submerged in water with the sensor in all usage environments, so the probability of being washed away is relatively small.
[0041] Although rain gauges and water level sensors are both instruments used in the wild, they do not involve underwater operations and have relatively regular shapes. Therefore, they are generally pasted near the product nameplate position, as Figure 3 shown. Comprehensive instruments include devices such as automatic evaporators and cableway consoles. They are mainly composed of multiple relatively independent components. Therefore, the anti-counterfeiting QR code cannot cover each device. The current principle is to paste it at a position where the core components are easily visible, such as on the RTU surface of the evaporator and the surface of the cableway console control cabinet.
[0042] The marked hydrological instruments are transmitted to the corresponding barcode preset table through the corresponding transmission device. The staff at the barcode preset table inputs the product type and instrument number into the barcode printer to generate the corresponding product code and the outer frame mark of the corresponding shape. The generated product code comes with a release paper. Since the product quality inspection has not been carried out yet, at this station, the staff will only execute the outer frame mark. Preferably, the outer frame can be fixed at the barcode mark position through tape. In this embodiment, the shape of the product code is fixed. Therefore, a unified specification outer frame can be used. For example, a rectangular outer frame is used. The staff pastes a section of tape at each of the two diagonal corners of the outer frame to fix the outer frame at the barcode mark position, and at the same time places the product code with the release paper not removed under the outer frame, which is convenient for subsequent outer frame removal processing and also beneficial for the preservation of the product code when it is not pasted.
[0043] The hydrological instruments leaving the barcode preset table already have unique barcodes. At this time, the hydrological instruments enter the quality inspection department, and the quality inspection system performs quality inspection processing including product performance parameter calibration. Preferably, a barcode scanning device is provided at the quality inspection system. After the staff scans the code, the quality inspection results of this time are entered to ensure traceability in the product warehousing process.
[0044] For the products that have passed the quality inspection, the staff will remove the outer frame and paste the corresponding product code at the original fixed position of the outer frame. After pasting the product code, the hydrological instrument can be put into storage and packed in boxes. This part of the work can be completed by the staff manually inputting after scanning the code, or can be handed over to some existing automated equipment. For example, considering that the position of the box code is relatively fixed, an automatic packing machine and a six-axis robot can be set at the packing platform, and the six-axis robot is used to paste the box code generated by the third code printer at the specified position of the outer box.
[0045] The anti-counterfeiting traceability code is generally printed and generated according to the number, and is pasted in an obvious position on the packing box or the instrument and equipment by means of pasting. In addition, for products with a relatively high unit price and a relatively long quality guarantee period, metal nameplates can also be formed by laser engraving or chemical etching and fixed on the instrument and equipment. Preferably, the anti-counterfeiting traceability system for hydrological instruments includes a fixed bar code generating device and a welding device; the fixed bar code generating device generates a metal bar code nameplate by means of laser engraving or chemical etching, and then is fixed at the product code pasting position by the welding device.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be construed to include the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present application.
[0047] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present application fall within the scope of the claims of the present application and their equivalent technologies, the present application is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
