[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] In this article, terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "top", etc. indicating orientations or positional relationships are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0027] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, a code scanning bracket mechanism includes a first frame body and a second frame body. The first frame body and the second frame body are respectively erected above the product conveyor line 1. The first frame body is arranged outside the second frame body. A code scanning assembly is arranged on the first frame body. The length and height of the first frame body are adjustable. The second frame body is erected above the product conveyor line, and the products on the product conveyor line are conveyed onto the second frame body to reduce the vertical distance between the products and the code scanning assembly.

[0028] This application sets up two sets of frameworks, which are detachably installed independently of the product conveyor line 1, easy to move and simple to install. Moreover, the length and height of the first framework can be adjusted arbitrarily, which can drive the code scanning component to adapt to front code scanning at multiple angles, thus improving the scanning accuracy rate. At the same time, by adjusting the length or height, the first framework can be erected above product conveyor lines 1 of different specifications, with high mechanism adaptability; setting up the second framework is conducive to lifting the products on the product conveyor line 1, reducing the distance between the products and the code scanning component, and further improving the scanning accuracy rate.

[0029] Specifically, the second framework is located between the product conveyor line 1 and the first framework, and the size of the first framework is larger than that of the second framework, so that the products lifted by the second framework can be within the code scanning range of the code scanning component on the first framework, facilitating the adjustment of the 360-degree code scanning position to cope with the front code scanning of different products at different bar code positions and improving the code scanning accuracy rate.

[0030] In the code scanning support mechanism of this embodiment, the first framework includes a first adjustment part for adjusting its height. The first adjustment part is provided with two groups at intervals along the conveying direction of the product conveyor line 1. Each group of the first adjustment part includes two first adjustment rods symmetrically arranged with respect to the product conveyor line 1, and the height of the first adjustment rod is adjustable.

[0031] Specifically, by setting the first adjustment rod with adjustable height, the height of the overall vertical mechanism is adjusted according to the height of the product conveyor line 1, and the height of the support mechanism is adjusted according to the size of the products conveyed on the product conveyor line 1, so as to facilitate the code scanning mechanism to scan the products and improve the front code scanning rate.

[0032] Preferably, the adjustable height facilitates the storage of the first adjustment rod. When not in use, the first adjustment rod is shortened to reduce the space required for storing the support mechanism.

[0033] In the code scanning support mechanism of this embodiment, the first adjustment rod includes a first sleeve rod 2 arranged along the vertical direction, and a first telescopic rod 3 is inserted into the first sleeve rod 2, and the length of the first telescopic rod 3 inserted into the first sleeve rod 2 is adjustable.

[0034] Specifically, a base is arranged at the bottom end of the first sleeve rod 2, and a number of first positioning holes are linearly arranged on the first sleeve rod 2. A first spring pin is arranged on the first telescopic rod 3. The first spring pin serves as an adjustment switch. By matching the first spring pin with the first positioning holes at different positions, the telescopic movement of the first telescopic rod 3 in the first sleeve rod 2 is realized, and further the height adjustment of the first adjustment rod is realized.

[0035] In the code scanning support mechanism of this embodiment, an arc-shaped connecting rod 4 is arranged at the top end of the first adjustment part, and both ends of the arc-shaped connecting rod 4 are fixedly connected to the two first adjustment rods in the same first adjustment part.

[0036] Specifically, the arc-shaped connecting rod 4 is fixedly installed at the top ends of the two first telescopic rods 3. The arc-shaped connecting rod 4 is provided to connect the first adjusting rods and limit the two first adjusting rods, thereby improving the overall stability of the bracket mechanism.

[0037] In the code scanning bracket mechanism of this embodiment, the first frame body further includes a second adjusting part for adjusting its length. The second adjusting part is arranged between the two arc-shaped connecting rods 4. The second adjusting part includes a second sleeve rod 5 and a second telescopic rod 6 arranged in the horizontal direction. The length of the second telescopic rod 6 inserted into the second sleeve rod 5 is adjustable.

[0038] The second adjusting part with adjustable length is provided to adjust the overall length of the bracket mechanism, so as to adapt to product conveying lines 1 of different specifications and products of different lengths, improving the practicability; and it can further increase the range of the scanning angles that the code scanning component can reach, facilitating the code scanning mechanism to scan the products and improving the front-side code scanning rate.

[0039] Specifically, a plurality of second positioning holes are linearly formed on the second sleeve rod 5, and a second spring pin is arranged on the second telescopic rod 6. Through the insertion and cooperation of the second spring pin with the second positioning holes at different positions, the telescopic movement of the second telescopic rod 6 in the second sleeve rod 5 is realized, and thus the adjustment of the overall length of the bracket mechanism is realized.

[0040] In the code scanning bracket mechanism of this embodiment, the ends of the second sleeve rod 5 and the second telescopic rod 6 away from each other are respectively fixedly connected to the arc-shaped connecting rod 4, and the code scanning component is slidably installed on the second sleeve rod 5 or the second telescopic rod 6.

[0041] Specifically, three groups of the second sleeve rod 5 and the second telescopic rod 6 are correspondingly arranged, and the three groups of the second sleeve rod 5 and the second telescopic rod 6 are evenly distributed along the arc-shaped connecting rod 4. The code scanning component is installed on the group of the second sleeve rod 5 and the second telescopic rod 6 with the highest vertical height.

[0042] By sliding the code scanning component on the second sleeve rod 5 or the second telescopic rod 6 to adjust the position of the code scanning component, the adjustment range of the scanning angles that the code scanning component can reach is increased, and the code scanning accuracy is improved.

[0043] Preferably, the second sleeve rod 5 and the second telescopic rod 6 at the uppermost part are designed to be movable and adjustable around the arc-shaped connecting rod 4, which is convenient for debugging the code scanning component and further increases the adjustment range of the scanning angles.

[0044] In addition, the code scanning component in the present application can also utilize the determination mechanism for successful code scanning to achieve production line linkage. If the code scanning is not successful, the production line will stop for processing, which is convenient for removing abnormal models that have not been code scanned. When the code scanning component scans a barcode, if the scanned information is accurate, the production line will operate normally. If the scanning is not successful, a control line will be added to the scanning line body to link the code scanning component and the line body for removing abnormal models.

[0045] Generally, depending on the different products produced by the production line and the requirements of enterprise standards or national standards, the positions where barcodes are pasted will also be different. There are square tube fixed connecting rods around and above the bracket mechanism in the present application to erect and fix the code scanning component. On-site users can erect the code scanning component according to the barcode position, with a large adjustment range and a wide range of achievable code scanning angles. At the same time, it has the effect of stabilizing the code scanning component. Moreover, due to the good portability and high adjustability of the square tube rod, it is very convenient for on-site debugging work.

[0046] In the code scanning bracket mechanism of this embodiment, the code scanning component includes a code scanner 7 and a sliding block 8. A multi-joint connecting rod 9 is arranged between the code scanner 7 and the sliding block 8. The sliding block 8 is slidably connected to the second adjusting part, and a locking structure is arranged on the sliding block 8.

[0047] Specifically, the use of the multi-joint connecting rod 9 can realize the multi-angle transformation adjustment of the scanning angle of the code scanner 7, which can adapt to the scanning angle adjustment of different positions of barcodes on different product packaging boxes. And the sliding block 8 can fix the code scanning component at any position on the second adjusting part, which is more conducive to the scanning adaptability between the code scanner 7 and the product.

[0048] Preferably, the sliding block 8 adopts two groups of opposite clamping blocks, and a sliding groove matching the second sleeve rod 5 or the second telescopic rod 6 is arranged inside. A threaded locking rod is arranged through the clamping block, and the fixing or sliding of the sliding block 8 is controlled by loosening or tightening the threaded locking rod.

[0049] In the code scanning bracket mechanism of this embodiment, the second frame body includes a convex platform conveyor line 10, the convex platform conveyor line 10 is installed on the convex platform body, and the conveying direction of the convex platform conveyor line 10 is the same as the conveying direction of the product conveyor line 1.

[0050] By setting the convex platform conveyor line 10, the product is lifted when it enters the convex platform conveyor line 10 during transportation on the product conveyor line 1, so that the product can be at the same height as the code scanning component; avoiding in many actual situations, limited by the fact that the product is transported on the horizontal product conveyor line 1, the code scanning component generally needs to perform barcode scanning and reading at an oblique angle. Through the convex platform conveyor line 10, the product can be lifted, and the code scanning angle window of the code scanning component can be kept consistent with the product, which is convenient for improving the code scanning accuracy.

[0051] By introducing a raised belt line, it is conducive to realizing the lifting of products on the horizontal assembly line and the separation from the next product, so as to better serve product barcode scanning and facilitate the improvement of scanning accuracy.

[0052] Preferably, setting a group of the first frame body or the second frame body can meet the scanning requirements under normal circumstances. In order to further perform secondary scanning confirmation to prevent missed scanning, the first frame body and the second frame body can be set up simultaneously for scanning closed-loop, further achieving the target effect of 100% scanning.

[0053] In the barcode scanning support mechanism of this embodiment, the boss body includes a platform part and an inclined part. The inclined parts are arranged at both ends of the platform part and are symmetrically arranged with respect to the platform part. The bottom ends of the inclined parts are respectively connected to the product conveyor line 1.

[0054] Specifically, the side surface of the boss body is an isosceles trapezoid. The boss conveyor line 10 is arranged along the paths of uphill, horizontal, and downhill. The isosceles trapezoid structure is convenient for stable product transportation, driving the product to move from the horizontal product conveyor line 1 to the inclined plane belt line, then moving horizontally for easy barcode scanning, and then transporting from the downhill inclined plane to the product conveyor line 1. The inclination angle of the boss body can be selected according to the size of the specific product to ensure stable product transportation.

[0055] In the barcode scanning support mechanism of this embodiment, the boss body is erected on the support plate. Support legs are respectively arranged at the four corners of the support plate. Guide frames 11 are respectively installed on both sides of the boss conveyor line 10. The guide frames 11 are arranged along the conveying direction of the boss conveyor line 10.

[0056] The setting of the guide frames 11 is mainly used to fix the width size of the product model and the position where the product needs to be scanned on the assembly line, play a role in guiding to limit the product transportation path, ensure that the barcode position on the product corresponds to the barcode scanning component, facilitate the barcode scanning component to perform barcode scanning, and improve the barcode scanning accuracy.

[0057] On the other hand, the present application also proposes an assembly line, including a barcode scanning support mechanism according to any one of the above.

[0058] It can be expected that the assembly line proposed in the present application includes all the beneficial effects of the above barcode scanning support mechanism, which will not be elaborated here.
