For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0023] The following will describe the specific embodiments of the automatic code scanning device of the present utility model in conjunction with Figure 1 - Figure 2 Describe the specific embodiments of the automatic code scanning device of the present utility model.

[0024] As Figure 1 shown, the present utility model provides an automatic code scanning device, including: a support structure, including a support platform 11; a rotation mechanism, including a turntable 21 for placing a sample bottle and a rotation driver 22 for driving the turntable 21 to rotate. The turntable 21 is arranged on the support platform 11, and the rotation axis of the turntable 21 is perpendicular to the support platform 11; a code scanner 31 is arranged on the support platform 11, and the scanning direction of the code scanner 31 faces the turntable 21 for scanning the two-dimensional code on the bottle body of the sample bottle. This device significantly improves the speed and accuracy of sample processing through automated code scanning operations and reduces the risk of sample confusion.

[0025] Specifically, the support structure of the device includes a support platform 11, which serves as the basis for the entire device and is used to carry all other components. The rotation mechanism includes a turntable 21 for placing the sample bottle to be detected. The turntable is equipped with a rotation driver 22 for driving the turntable 21 to rotate. The rotation axis of the turntable 21 is perpendicular to the support platform 11, ensuring that the sample bottle can rotate smoothly on a plane. The code scanner 31 is arranged on the support platform 11, and its scanning direction faces the turntable 21 for scanning the two-dimensional code on the bottle body of the sample bottle.

[0026] During use, the displacement device in the previous stage places the sample bottle with a QR code label on the turntable 21. The rotation driver 22 is activated to rotate the turntable 21. The barcode scanner 31 captures and interprets the QR code information on the bottle body. Once the information is successfully read, the sample information can be automatically transmitted to the relevant detection equipment or management system to start the subsequent detection process.

[0027] Preferably, a rotation limit structure can be provided between the turntable 21 and the support platform 11 to ensure that the turntable 21 can move in a predetermined manner during rotation and avoid excessive rotation. For example, if the QR code on the sample bottle is within a specific angular range, a rotation limit structure can be set to ensure that the turntable 21 only rotates within this range, so as to ensure that the barcode scanner 31 can effectively read the QR code information. The rotation limit structure can be a stop block limit, where a fixed stop block is set on the rotation path of the turntable 21. When the turntable 21 contacts the stop block, further rotation will be blocked; or it can be a ratchet and pawl structure. Through the cooperation of the ratchet and pawl, the turntable 21 can only rotate in one direction and can only rotate a certain angle each time; or the driving stroke of the rotation driver 22 can also be directly limited by an electric control method.

[0028] According to an automatic barcode scanning device provided by the present utility model, the turntable 21 is provided with a positioning groove 23 adapted to the bottom shape of the sample bottle to ensure that the sample bottle can be stably placed on the turntable 21, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability during the scanning process. If the bottom of the sample bottle has a specific shape (such as circular, square or other special shapes), the positioning groove 23 on the turntable 21 will be designed into the same shape accordingly to ensure that the bottle can be accurately placed in the designated position. By using the positioning groove 23 adapted to the bottom shape of the sample bottle, the shaking of the sample bottle during rotation can be reduced, thereby improving the accuracy rate of the barcode scanner 31 for reading the QR code.

[0029] According to an automatic barcode scanning device provided by the present utility model, at an adjacent position of the turntable 21, a photoelectric induction component is provided on the support platform 11 for detecting the sample bottle on the turntable 21. The photoelectric induction component can detect whether there is a sample bottle placed on the turntable 21, or further, through the photoelectric induction component, it can be confirmed whether the sample bottle is correctly placed in the positioning groove 23 of the turntable 21. When the sample bottle is placed on the turntable 21, the light will be blocked or reflected by the sample bottle, thereby changing the light intensity received by the receiving end. By analyzing the change in the light intensity received by the receiving end, the photoelectric induction component can determine whether the sample bottle has been placed in place and accordingly control the start and stop of the rotation driver 22. By automatically detecting the presence and position of the sample bottle through the photoelectric induction component, it can be ensured that the rotation driver 22 is only started when the sample bottle is correctly placed.

[0030] According to an automatic code scanning device provided by the present utility model, the photoelectric induction component includes a photoelectric generator 41, a photoelectric inductor 42 and a sensor bracket 43. The two sensor brackets 43 are respectively located on both sides of the turntable 21, and the photoelectric generator 41 and the photoelectric inductor 42 are respectively arranged on the two sensor brackets 43. The heights of the photoelectric generator 41 and the photoelectric inductor 42 are higher than that of the turntable 21. Among them, the photoelectric generator 41 is responsible for emitting light, and the photoelectric inductor 42 is responsible for receiving the light reflected from the sample bottle and converting it into an electrical signal. The two sensor brackets 43 are respectively located on both sides of the turntable 21 and are used to fix the photoelectric generator 41 and the photoelectric inductor 42. Such a layout can ensure that the light can be emitted from one side, pass through the area where the sample bottle is located, and be received on the other side. The heights of the photoelectric generator 41 and the photoelectric inductor 42 are higher than that of the turntable 21, which can effectively detect the presence of the sample bottle.

[0031] When the sample bottle is placed on the turntable 21, the light emitted by the photoelectric generator 41 will be blocked or reflected by the sample bottle. The photoelectric inductor 42 judges the presence of the sample bottle according to the change in the light intensity received. According to the feedback of the photoelectric inductor 42, the rotation driver 22 can be started or stopped to ensure that the sample bottle is correctly scanned. Through the photoelectric induction component, automatic detection of whether the sample bottle is on the turntable 21 can be realized.

[0032] According to an automatic code scanning device provided by the present utility model, it includes a zero position detection mechanism for detecting the initial position of the turntable 21. The zero position detection mechanism includes an induction member arranged on the outer side wall of the turntable 21 and a proximity sensor arranged on the support platform 11 and on one side of the turntable 21. When the turntable 21 rotates, the induction member will also rotate accordingly. When the induction member passes through the position where the proximity sensor is located, the proximity sensor can detect the presence of the induction member. The proximity sensor will convert the detected information into an electrical signal and transmit it to the control system. The control system determines whether the turntable 21 has returned to the zero position, that is, the initial position, according to the signal of the proximity sensor. Before each new scanning task starts, the zero position detection mechanism can ensure that the turntable 21 returns to the zero position so as to start rotating from a fixed position, thereby ensuring that the starting point of each scan is consistent and improving the accuracy and repeatability of the scan. In this way, the zero position detection mechanism ensures that the turntable 21 is in a known starting position before each rotation.

[0033] According to an automatic code scanning device provided by the present utility model, the support structure includes support vertical plates 12 arranged below the support platform 11; the two support vertical plates 12 are arranged in parallel at intervals below the support platform 11 to form a storage space 13 below the support platform 11 that can be used to store cables, which can effectively hide and organize various wires and data lines inside the device, making the whole device look more tidy and orderly.

[0034] According to an automatic code scanning device provided by the present utility model, the rotary driver 22 is located in the storage space 13, and the turntable 21 is located above the support platform 11, ensuring the compactness and functionality of the device. Among them, the rotary driver 22 is a power source for driving the rotation of the turntable 21, such as a motor. The rotary driver 22 is located in the storage space 13 below the support platform 11, which helps to protect the driver from external factors and makes it more concealed, improving the overall aesthetics of the device. The rotary driver 22 is connected to the turntable 21 through a transmission device (such as a gear, a belt or a coupling) to transmit power. The turntable 21 is located above the support platform 11 and is used to place the specimen bottle. The turntable 21 is connected to the rotary driver 22 through a mechanical connection (such as a shaft, a bearing, etc.) to ensure that the turntable 21 can rotate smoothly.

[0035] As Figure 2 As shown, according to an automatic code scanning device provided by the present utility model, an installation vertical plate 32 is provided on the support platform 11; the code scanner 31 is installed on the installation vertical plate 32 so that the scanning range of the code scanner 31 is higher than that of the turntable 21 under the support of the installation vertical plate 32. Among them, the installation vertical plate 32 is provided on the support platform 11 to play a role in supporting the code scanner 31. The code scanner 31 is installed on the installation vertical plate 32 to ensure that the position of the code scanner 31 is higher than that of the turntable 21. Installed in this way, the code scanner 31 can more easily scan the two-dimensional code on the specimen bottle placed on the turntable 21.

[0036] Further, according to an automatic code scanning device provided by the present utility model, the support platform 11 is provided with an embedded groove 33 adapted to the bottom of the installation vertical plate 32; or, an installation cross plate 34 is provided on the support platform 11, and the embedded groove 33 is provided on the searched installation cross plate 34. The design of the embedded groove 33 enables the installation vertical plate 32 to be easily inserted or pulled out, reducing the difficulty of installation and disassembly. By providing the installation cross plate 34, the horizontal distance between the code scanner 31 and the turntable 21 can be adjusted as needed.

[0037] According to an automatic code scanning device provided by the present utility model, a long-shaped limiting hole 35 is provided on the installation cross plate 34, and a threaded hole is provided on the support platform 11; a threaded member fixes the installation cross plate 34 to the support platform 11 through the long-shaped limiting hole 35 and the threaded hole. The design of the long-shaped limiting hole 35 allows the installation cross plate 34 to move horizontally within a certain range, so as to adjust the horizontal distance between the code scanner 31 and the turntable 21. Through the design of the long-shaped limiting hole 35, the installation cross plate 34 can be moved horizontally, so as to adjust the horizontal distance between the code scanner 31 and the turntable 21. After adjusting to an appropriate distance, the threaded member is passed through the long-shaped limiting hole 35 on the installation cross plate 34 and screwed into the threaded hole on the support platform 11 to fix the position of the installation cross plate 34. The combination of the above-mentioned threaded member, long-shaped hole and threaded hole can be provided in two groups or more, so as to improve the fixing strength of the installation cross plate 34.
