Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cigarettes, and particularly relates to a box piece code reading device. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of the whole cigarette case, the cigarette case is made by bending and pasting box pieces. In order to realize the function of product traceability, two-dimensional codes need to be sprayed on the box pieces. At present, the detection and input of two-dimensional codes are mainly completed by the inspection machine in the workshop. The box pieces in the workshop are divided into regular products and irregular products. The irregular products are specially designed for requirements such as beauty, flatness, and novelty. The shapes and sizes of the irregular products and regular products are different, resulting in different positions of the two-dimensional codes sprayed on the irregular products and regular products. As an example, most of the two-dimensional codes on regular products are sprayed in the middle of the box piece, and most of the two-dimensional codes on irregular products are sprayed on the edge of the box piece.

[0003] There are currently two ways to input the two-dimensional code of irregular products: one is to automatically collect it through the inspection machine. However, the various parameters of the current inspection machine are set for regular products. Since the code scanning device on the inspection machine is fixed and the code scanning range of the code scanning device is fixed, the relative position of the regular products or irregular products on the transport belt of the inspection machine remains unchanged when being transported on the transport belt of the inspection machine. As a result, before the irregular products are put on the machine, it is necessary to adjust the transport belt of the inspection machine left and right so that the transport belt of the inspection machine can transport the irregular products to the code scanning range of the code scanning device. The whole adjustment process takes several hours, which is time-consuming and laborious; the other is to input the code one by one by manually holding a code scanning gun, which has a large labor intensity and low efficiency and requires a lot of time.

Obviously, the accompanying drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present invention.

[0026] The embodiment of the present invention provides a box sheet code reading device. Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , which mainly includes a code reading support 1, a first transportation line 2, a second transportation line 3, an arrangement assembly 4 and a code reader 5.

[0027] It should be noted that, taking Figure 2 the perspective as a reference, Figure 2 the up and down direction in Figure 3 is the height direction in the following text. Taking Figure 3 the perspective as a reference,

[0028] In an embodiment of the present application, the box sheet code reading device includes a code reading bracket 1, a first conveyor line 2, a second conveyor line 3, an arranging assembly 4, and a code reader 5. The first conveyor line 2 and the second conveyor line 3 are arranged on the code reading bracket 1 in sequence, and the end point of the first conveyor line 2 and the starting point of the second conveyor line 3 are at the same position. A plurality of non-standard products are provided at the starting point of the first conveyor line 2, and the plurality of non-standard products are stacked in sequence at the starting point of the first conveyor line 2. The two-dimensional code of the non-standard product is in the same straight line as the code reader 5. An arranging assembly 4 is provided on the first conveyor line 2, and the arranging assembly 4 arranges the non-standard products on the first conveyor line 2 for transportation in sequence. Two guiding plates 10 are provided at the starting point of the first conveyor line 2. The two guiding plates 10 are slidably connected to the code reading bracket 1, and the two guiding plates 10 can move towards each other or away from each other in the opposite direction, so that the two guiding plates 10 abut against the plurality of non-standard products. The non-standard products on the first conveyor line 2 are transported to the second conveyor line 3. A code reader 5 is provided on the second conveyor line 3. When the first conveyor line 2 drives the non-standard products to move, the two guiding plates 10 abut against the plurality of non-standard products, thereby preventing the non-standard products from running off track, enabling the regular products to be accurately transported to the reading range of the code reader 5, and further realizing the detection and entry of the two-dimensional code of the non-standard products.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, there are currently two ways to enter the two-dimensional code of non-standard products: one is to automatically collect through an inspection machine. However, currently, the various parameters of the inspection machine are set for regular products. Since the code scanning device on the inspection machine is fixed and the code scanning range of the code scanning device is fixed, the relative position between the regular products or non-standard products and the conveyor belt of the inspection machine remains unchanged when they are transported on the conveyor belt of the inspection machine, resulting in the need to adjust the conveyor belt of the inspection machine left and right before the non-standard products are put on the machine, so that the conveyor belt of the inspection machine can transport the non-standard products to the code scanning range of the code scanning device. The entire adjustment process takes several hours, which is time-consuming and laborious; the other is to manually scan and enter each sheet with a handheld code scanner, which has a large labor intensity and low efficiency, and requires a large amount of labor. In the present application, when it is necessary to detect non-standard products, the non-standard products are placed at the starting point of the first conveyor line 2, so that the two-dimensional code of the non-standard product is in the same straight line as the code reader 5, and the two guiding plates 10 are slid. The two guiding plates 10 abut against the non-standard products. Due to the guiding effect of the two guiding plates 10, the non-standard products can be accurately transported to the reading range of the code reader 5, thereby realizing the detection and entry of the two-dimensional code of the non-standard products, making the detection and entry of the non-standard products time-saving and labor-saving, improving efficiency, and reducing costs.

[0030] In an implementable embodiment, a console 6 is provided on one side of the first transport line 2. The console 6 is fixedly connected to the code reading bracket 1 and is used to control the start and stop of the entire box piece code reading device and the switches of other functions. A connecting plate 7 is provided on the side of the first transport line 2 away from the console 6. The connecting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the code reading bracket 1. A first shaft 61 is provided between the console 6 and the connecting plate 7. Both ends of the first shaft 61 are fixedly connected to the console 6 and the connecting plate 7 respectively. The arranging assembly 4 includes arranging pieces 41. The arranging pieces 41 are arranged at the starting point of the first transport line 2. One end of the arranging piece 41 is fixedly connected to the first shaft 61, and the distance between the other end and the transport surface of the first transport line 2 is greater than the height of a single non-standard product and less than the sum of the heights of two non-standard products. Thus, the arranging channel 44 formed between the arranging piece 41 and the transport surface of the first transport line 2 can only accommodate one non-standard product at a time. Among the multiple non-standard products at the starting point of the first transport line 2, only the lowermost non-standard product contacts the transport surface of the first transport line 2. When the first transport line 2 starts to transport, the first transport line 2 will drive the lowermost non-standard product to move, while the non-standard products above will be blocked by the arranging piece 41 and only the lowermost non-standard product will enter the arranging channel 44 and thus be transported to the second transport line 3. The non-standard products enter the second transport line 3 in sequence for two-dimensional code detection and entry, so that all the non-standard products at the starting point of the first transport line 2 can be detected.

[0031] Further, a second shaft 62 is provided between the console 6 and the connecting plate 7. Both ends of the second shaft 62 are fixedly connected to the console 6 and the connecting plate 7 respectively. The arranging assembly 4 further includes arranging rollers 42 and connecting blocks 43. The arranging rollers 42 and the connecting blocks 43 are both arranged at the starting point of the first transport line 2. One end of the connecting block 43 is rotatably connected to the second shaft 62, and the other end is rotatably connected to the arranging roller 42. The arranging roller 42 abuts against the arranging piece 41. By arranging the arranging roller 42 to abut against the arranging piece 41, it is avoided that when the first transport line 2 transports the lowermost non-standard product, the non-standard products above will lift the arranging piece 41 under the drive of the lowermost non-standard product, and the non-standard products will not overlap on the transport line, thus ensuring the code reading quality of the code reading device.

[0032] Specifically, the end of the arranging piece 41 that abuts against the arranging roller 42 is arc-shaped. When the non-standard products above are blocked by the arranging piece 41, the arc-shaped arranging piece 41 will not damage the non-standard products.

[0033] In an implementable embodiment, pressing strips 45 are provided on both sides of the arranging piece 41. One end of the pressing strip 45 is fixedly connected to the first shaft 61, and the other end extends to the end of the second transport line 3. The pressing strip 45 abuts against the non-standard products transported on the first transport line 2 or the second transport line 3, thus preventing the non-standard products on the transport line from running off track.

[0034] In an implementable embodiment, the transportation speed of the first transportation line 2 is greater than that of the second transportation line 3. The faster transportation speed of the first transportation line 2 facilitates separating a plurality of non-standard products stacked in sequence into individual non-standard products transported on the first transportation line 2. Although the transportation speed of the second transportation line 3 is slower than that of the first transportation line 2, the moving speed of the non-standard product at the starting point of the second transportation line 3 is greater than the moving speed of the second transportation line 3. The non-standard product will move a certain distance towards the end point of the second transportation line 3 and decelerate before its moving speed becomes equal to that of the second transportation line 3. However, since the moving speed of each point on the second transportation line 3 is consistent, the speed of each non-standard product leaving the first transportation line 2 is also the same, and the frictional force between each non-standard product and the second transportation line 3 is equal in magnitude, so that the movement trajectories of each non-standard product on the second transportation line 3 are the same, and thus there will be no situation where non-standard products are crowded together on the second transportation line 3.

[0035] Specifically, due to the relatively fast transportation speed of the first transportation line 2, when the width of the first transportation line 2 is smaller than the width of the non-standard product, it can still drive the lowermost non-standard product to move, thereby saving costs.

[0036] In an implementable embodiment, the guide plate 10 is provided with a dovetail-shaped protrusion, and the code reading bracket 1 is provided with a dovetail groove.

[0037] In an implementable embodiment, a third shaft 63 is further provided between the control console 6 and the connecting plate 7. A pressure roller 8 and a pressure plate 9 are arranged on the first transportation line 2, and the pressure roller 8 and the pressure plate 9 are arranged on the second transportation line 3. One end of the pressure plate 9 is rotatably connected to the pressure roller 8, and the other end is rotatably connected to the third shaft 63. Specifically, the pressure roller 8 and the pressure plate 9 are arranged at the starting point of the second transportation line 3. When the non-standard product is transported onto the second transportation line 3, the pressure roller 8 will contact the non-standard product, thereby preventing the non-standard product from running off track at the junction of the first transportation line 2 and the second transportation line 3.

[0038] Furthermore, the height of the pressure plate 9 is greater than the distance between the third shaft 63 and the first transportation line 2, so that the pressure plate 9 is placed obliquely.

[0039] Preferably, the pressure roller 8 is arranged on the side of the third shaft 63 close to the end point of the second transportation line 3.

[0040] In an implementable embodiment, a receiving box 11 is arranged at the end point of the second transportation line 3. The receiving box 11 is fixedly connected to the code reading bracket 1. After the non-standard product on the second transportation line 3 is read by the code reader 5, it continues to be transported into the receiving box 11, and the receiving box 11 is used to hold the non-standard product.
