Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of manufacturing of scanning devices, and specifically relates to a multi-sided scanning device for vaccine boxes. Background Art
[0002] Vaccine storage requires an environment of 2 - 8 degrees Celsius for automation and informatization. During the existing storage and transportation process of vaccines, information such as vaccine name, vaccine marketing authorization holder, vaccine attributes, batch number, dosage form, specification, expiration date, etc. needs to be obtained. In the past, during the information registration process, scanning was required to obtain this information. Due to the large differences in the size of vaccine boxes and the positions of barcodes, only manual scanning can be performed, and automatic scanning and automation functions cannot be achieved. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] The main purpose of this application is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology. By arranging scanners around and below a transparent scanning table, a multi-sided scanning device for vaccine boxes is designed, enabling the scanning of vaccines regardless of how the vaccine box is placed on the scanning table and regardless of which side of the vaccine box the barcode is set on, thus solving the problem that automatic scanning cannot be achieved due to the large differences in the size of vaccine boxes and the positions of barcodes.
[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted in this application is:
[0005] A multi-sided scanning device for vaccine boxes includes a scanning table. The tabletop of the scanning table is made of transparent material. Lifting frames are provided on the front side, rear side, left side, and right side of the scanning table. A scanner is provided on each lifting frame. A scanner is also provided directly below the scanning table. The scanning direction of the scanner located below the scanning table is vertically upward. The scanning direction of at least one scanner on the lifting frames faces the tabletop of the scanning table. The scanning surface of each scanner on the lifting frames faces the side of the scanning table beside the lifting frame.
[0006] Preferably, the tabletop of the scanning table is within the sensing range of a sensor, and the sensor is signal-connected to all the scanners.

[0011] Preferably, the lifting frame includes a vertical rod and a clamping rod. One end of the clamping rod is provided with a first notch. One end of the first notch is on the clamping rod, and the other end extends outside the clamping rod. One end of the first notch located inside the clamping rod is communicated with a first installation through hole with a vertical axis. The axis of the first installation through hole is parallel to the side wall of the first notch. The first installation through hole penetrates the clamping rod. The two ends of the vertical rod penetrate through the first installation through hole. A first locking bolt penetrates through the clamping rod. The first locking bolt penetrates between the two ends of the first notch and is perpendicular to the inner side wall of the first notch.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. The present application adopts the method of arranging scanners around and below the transparent scanning table to design a multi-sided scanning device for vaccine boxes, so that no matter how the vaccine box is placed on the scanning table and no matter which side of the vaccine box the barcode is set on, the vaccine box can be scanned, solving the problem that automatic scanning cannot be achieved at present due to the large difference in the size of vaccine boxes and the large difference in the position of barcodes.

[0021] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, a multi-sided barcode scanning device for a vaccine box includes a barcode scanning table 1. The tabletop of the barcode scanning table 1 is made of a transparent material. Lifting frames are provided on the front side, rear side, left side, and right side of the barcode scanning table 1. A barcode scanner 2 is provided on each lifting frame. A barcode scanner 2 is also provided directly below the barcode scanning table 1. The scanning direction of the barcode scanner 2 located below the barcode scanning table 1 is vertically upward. The scanning direction of at least one barcode scanner 2 on the lifting frame faces the tabletop of the barcode scanning table 1. The scanning surface of each barcode scanner 2 on the lifting frame faces the side where the barcode scanning table 1 is provided beside the lifting frame.
[0022] The vaccine box 14 is the same as a general medicine box, and is basically a cuboid. In this embodiment, when in use, a manipulator (not shown in the figure) clamps and places the vaccine box 14 on the scanning table 1. Since the tabletop of the scanning table 1 is made of a transparent material (such as glass), the scanner 2 located below the scanning table 1 can scan the bottom of the vaccine box 14, and the scanners 2 on the lifting frames on the front side, rear side, left side, and right side of the scanning table 1 can scan the front, back, left, and right four faces of the vaccine box 14; since the scanning direction of at least one of the scanners 2 on the lifting frame faces the tabletop of the scanning table 1, that is, at least one of the scanners 2 on the lifting frames on the front side, rear side, left side, and right side of the scanning table 1 has a scanning direction facing the tabletop of the scanning table 1, this will enable this scanner 2 to scan the side wall and the top wall of the vaccine box 14 placed on the scanning table 1, and although it can scan the top wall of the vaccine box 14, it is not directly above the scanning table 1. In this way, the top wall of the vaccine box 14 can be scanned without blocking the manipulator from placing the vaccine box 14 on the scanning table 1. Therefore, after such a setting, whether the barcode (or QR code) is set on the upper surface, lower surface, or the front, back, left, or right side surface of the vaccine box 14, it can be scanned, without flipping the vaccine box 14, nor does it need to follow any placement rules during the process of the manipulator clamping the vaccine box 14 to the scanning table 1 or during the stacking of the vaccine boxes 14. This enables automatic scanning without manual participation and improves the scanning efficiency.
[0023] As a preferred method, the tabletop of the scanning table 1 is within the sensing range of the sensor 3, and the sensor 3 is signal-connected to all the scanners 2. After such a setting, after the manipulator clamps the vaccine box 14 onto the scanning table 1, the sensor 3 can sense the vaccine box 14, and the sensor 3 then transmits a signal to the scanner 2, and the scanner 2 starts to work, so that the scanner 2 does not need to be in a working state all the time.
[0024] As a preferred method, at least one side of the scanning table 1 is provided with a mounting frame 12, and the sensor 3 is provided at the top of the mounting frame 12, and the sensing surface of the sensor 3 faces the scanning table 1.
[0025] As a preferred method, the sensing surface of the sensor 3 is perpendicular to the tabletop of the scanning table 1, and the height of the lower edge of the sensing surface of the sensor 3 is higher than or equal to the height of the tabletop of the scanning table 1. After such a setting, it can be avoided that the sensor 3 senses the scanning table 1, resulting in the situation where the sensor 3 regards the scanning table 1 as the vaccine box 14.
[0026] As a preferred method, the tabletop of the scanning table 1 is made of glass.
[0027] As a preferred method, the positions of the barcode scanners 2 on at least two of the lifting frames are higher than the height of the barcode scanning table 1 and the barcode scanning directions face the barcode scanning table 1; the positions of the barcode scanners 2 on the other two lifting frames are higher than the height of the barcode scanning table 1 and the barcode scanning directions are parallel to the tabletop of the barcode scanning table 1. After such a setting, by arranging two barcode scanners 2 to cooperate in scanning the top wall and the side wall of the vaccine box 14, the situation where the outer top wall of the vaccine box 14 is not scanned can be prevented; the positions of the barcode scanners 2 on the other two lifting frames are higher than the height of the barcode scanning table 1 and the barcode scanning directions are parallel to the tabletop of the barcode scanning table 1, so that these two barcode scanners 2 only need to be responsible for scanning the side walls of the corresponding vaccine boxes 14.
[0028] As a preferred method, the lifting frame includes a vertical rod 4 and a clamping rod 5. One end of the clamping rod 5 is provided with a first notch 6. One end of the first notch 6 is on the clamping rod 5, and the other end extends outside the clamping rod 5. One end of the first notch 6 located inside the clamping rod 5 communicates with a first installation through hole 7 with a vertical axis. The axis of the first installation through hole 7 is parallel to the side wall of the first notch 6. The first installation through hole 7 penetrates through the clamping rod 5. The two ends of the vertical rod 4 penetrate through the first installation through hole 7. A first locking bolt 8 penetrates through the clamping rod 5. The first locking bolt 8 penetrates between the two ends of the first notch 6 and is perpendicular to the inner side wall of the first notch 6. The barcode scanner 2 is fixedly installed at the end of the clamping rod 5 far from the vertical rod 4. After such a setting, the height of the clamping rod 5 on the vertical rod 4 can be adjusted, so as to adjust the height of the barcode scanner 2 according to the height of the vaccine box 14 to be scanned.
[0029] As a preferred method, the other end of the clamping rod 5 is provided with a second notch 9. One end of the second notch 9 is on the clamping rod 5, and the other end extends outside the clamping rod 5 from the end of the clamping rod 5 facing away from the first notch 6. One end of the second notch 9 located inside the clamping rod 5 communicates with a second installation through hole 10 with a vertical axis. The second installation through hole 10 penetrates through the clamping rod 5. The axis of the second installation through hole 10 is perpendicular to the axis of the first installation through hole 7. The axis of the second installation through hole 10 is parallel to the side wall of the second notch 9. A second locking bolt 11 penetrates between the two ends of the second notch 9. The second locking bolt 11 is perpendicular to the side wall of the second notch 9. The barcode scanner is installed at one end of the installation rod 13, and the other end of the installation rod 13 is inserted into the second installation through hole 10. After such a setting, the barcode scanning direction of the barcode scanner 2 can be adjusted by rotating the installation rod 13 in the second installation through hole 10, so as to facilitate adjusting the barcode scanner 2 to scan the top wall and the side wall of the vaccine box 14.
