In order to save the space occupied by the code scanner, the code scanner can be placed horizontally, and a mirror group is fixedly arranged on the front side of the reading end of the code scanner to reflect the information code to the reading end of the code scanner.

[0004] However, when the product size changes, the imaging size of the information code in the mirror group changes, and the size of the mirror group covered by the code scanner is fixed, resulting in difficulty for the code scanner to completely obtain the information code, affecting the smooth reading of the information code by the code scanner.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and do not have special meanings.

[0051] An embodiment of the present utility model discloses a reflection device, a code scanning device, and a production line.

[0052] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 , the reflection device includes a fixing frame 1, a mounting frame 2, and a mirror group 3. The fixing frame 1 is fixedly connected to the code scanner 4; the mounting frame 2 is movably connected to the fixing frame 1. The mounting frame 2 can slide along the first direction X to approach or move away from the code scanner 4, and can rotate relative to the fixing frame 1 along the second direction Y to adjust the reflection angle of the light; the mirror group 3 is obliquely arranged on the mounting frame 2 to reflect the information code of the product 5 to the code scanner 4.

[0053] Specifically, the code scanner 4 is horizontally fixed above the transfer path, and the fixing frame 1 is fixed at the reading end of the code scanner 4. The fixing method can be a detachable connection method such as clamping or bolt connection, or a non-detachable method such as bonding or welding. The middle of the fixing frame 1 is hollow for light to pass through. The mounting frame 2 is movably connected to the fixing frame 1. The mounting frame 2 can slide in the first direction X, and the first direction X is the direction in which the product 5 is transferred. And the mounting frame 2 can rotate along the second direction Y, and the second direction Y is the direction of approaching or moving away from the product 5. In this embodiment, the plane where the first direction X is located is perpendicular to the plane where the second direction Y is located. The mirror group 3 is obliquely arranged on the mounting frame 2. The mirror group 3 includes a mirror, and the reflecting surface of the mirror faces the product 5 and the reading end of the code scanner 4. A light source such as an LED lamp can also be provided on the mirror to illuminate the mirror surface or the information code of the product 5. The specific illuminated object can be designed according to the actual application environment. The present application does not limit this, as long as the brightness of the detection environment meets the requirements.

[0054] When the product 5 passes by the mounting frame 2, the mirror group 3 can reflect the information code on the product 5 to the reading end of the code scanner 4 for reading and recognition. When the size of the product 5 changes, although the mirror group 3 can completely reflect the information code of the product 5, the coverage range of the reading end of the code scanner 4 on the mirror group 3 is limited. When the image of the information code on the mirror group 3 is too large or too small, it is difficult to read.

[0055] By sliding the mounting bracket 2 in the first direction X and rotating it in the second direction Y, the position of the mirror group 3 relative to the barcode scanner 4 and the reflection angle of the light can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the coverage range of the reading end of the barcode scanner 4 on the mirror group 3. Specifically, when the mounting bracket 2 slides in the first direction X, the distance between the mirror group 3 and the reading end of the barcode scanner 4 can be increased or decreased, and accordingly, the range that the reading end of the barcode scanner 4 can cover on the mirror group 3 will increase or decrease synchronously; when the mounting bracket 2 rotates in the second direction Y, the angular range of the light reflected by the mirror group 3 can be increased or decreased, thereby increasing or decreasing the range that the reading end of the barcode scanner 4 can cover on the mirror group 3. Thus, when this reflection device is in use, the positions of the mirror group 3 and the reading end of the barcode scanner 4 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the product 5, so as to flexibly change the size of the mirror group 3 covered by the reading end of the barcode scanner 4, ensuring that the barcode scanner 4 can completely and accurately read the information code of the product 5 and ensuring the smooth identification of the information of the product 5.

[0056] Optionally, the mounting bracket 2 includes a mounting plate 21 and a connecting plate 22. The mirror group 3 is disposed on the mounting plate 21; the connecting plate 22 extends in the first direction X and is movably connected to the fixing bracket 1, and the connecting plate 22 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 21.

[0057] Specifically, the mounting plate 21 is inclined towards the transfer path of the product 5. A connecting plate 22 extending in the first direction X is provided on both sides of the mounting plate 21. The connecting plate 22 and the mounting plate 21 can be of an integral structure. For example, the mounting bracket 2 is formed by bending a sheet metal part. They can also be fixed together by welding or bonding, etc. The present application does not limit this.

[0058] The opposite side surfaces of the two connecting plates 22 are in sliding fit with the fixing bracket 1, and the sliding and rotation of the connecting plate 22 can be achieved through the cooperation of a rotating rod and a locking structure, etc. A mirror group 3 is provided at one end of the mounting plate 21 facing the barcode scanner 4. The mirror group 3 and the mounting plate 21 can be fixedly connected, such as by bonding, etc., or can be detachably connected, such as by snap connection or bolt connection, etc. The present application does not limit this.

[0059] By providing the mounting plate 21 and the connecting plate 22, when the mounting bracket 2 moves, by applying a force to the connecting plate 22, the connecting plate 22 can be made to slide or rotate relative to the fixing bracket 1, thereby driving the mounting plate 21 to move synchronously, and then the position of the mirror group 3 can be adjusted. To improve the accuracy of the connecting plate 22, adjustment scales, etc. can also be provided on the connecting plate 22 or the fixing bracket 1 to facilitate accurately grasping the moving distance or rotation angle of the connecting plate 22. In other embodiments, the automatic adjustment of the connecting plate 22 can also be realized through a servo motor cooperating with a screw rod and other structures to further improve the overall automation degree, which can be specifically designed according to actual adjustment requirements. The present utility model does not limit this.

[0060] Optionally, the connecting plate 22 has a slideway 221 extending in the first direction X. The fixing frame 1 has a rotating shaft 11. The rotating shaft 11 at least partially extends into the slideway 221 and is slidably connected to the slideway 221. The connecting plate 22 can rotate around the rotating shaft 11.

[0061] Specifically, the rotating shaft 11 is provided on the side of the fixing frame 1 close to the connecting plate 22. The connecting plate 22 is provided with a strip-shaped slideway 221 penetrating in its thickness direction. The slideway 221 extends in the first direction X. The end of the rotating shaft 11 extends into the slideway 221 and can be slidably connected to the side wall of the slideway 221.

[0062] By providing the rotating shaft 11, when the connecting plate 22 slides, the rotating shaft 11 and the slideway 221 cooperate to limit and guide the sliding of the connecting plate 22, ensuring that the connecting plate 22 smoothly slides in the first direction X. When the connecting plate 22 rotates, it will rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 11. In this way, only through the design of the rotating shaft 11, while realizing the sliding of the connecting plate 22, the rotation of the connecting plate 22 can also be realized, ensuring that the overall structure is simple, and the manufacturing difficulty and cost are relatively low.

[0063] Optionally, a rotating ring 12 is rotatably connected to the part of the rotating shaft 11 extending into the slideway 221. The outer side wall of the rotating ring 12 fits against the side wall of the slideway 221.

[0064] Specifically, the rotating ring 12 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 11. The outer side wall of the rotating ring 12 fits against the slideway 221, so that when the connecting plate 22 slides, the rotating ring 12 can rotate itself, thereby reducing the friction between the rotating shaft 11 and the slideway 221 and ensuring that the connecting plate 22 can move smoothly.

[0065] Optionally, the reflection device further includes a locking member 6. The locking member 6 penetrates through the mounting frame 2 and is connected to the fixing frame 1 to fix the mounting frame 2 to the fixing frame 1.

[0066] Specifically, the above-mentioned locking member 6 penetrates through the connecting plate 22. The locking member 6 can be a pin, and a jack for inserting the pin can be provided on the fixing frame 1. The locking member 6 can also be a screw, and a threaded hole for inserting and threadedly connecting the screw can be provided on the fixing frame 1. It should be understood that the locking member 6 can selectively lock the mounting frame 2 and the fixing frame 1 together, and its specific structure is not limited in this application.

[0067] Optionally, the locking member 6 is a bolt. The locking member 6 penetrates through the rotating shaft 11 and can abut against the mounting frame 2.

[0068] Specifically, a threaded hole is formed on the end face of the rotating shaft 11, and the bolt is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. At this time, the end face of the rotating shaft 11 is located inside the sliding groove 221, so that the head of the bolt can abut against the outer side wall of the connecting plate 22, so as to smoothly realize the locking of the mounting bracket 2 and the fixing bracket 1.

[0069] By using a bolt as the locking member 6 and forming a threaded hole on the rotating shaft 11, not only can the mounting bracket 2 be locked at any position, but also additional holes can be avoided being drilled on the connecting plate 22 and the fixing bracket 1, ensuring that the strength of the mounting bracket 2 and the fixing bracket 1 meets the requirements.

[0070] Optionally, the fixing bracket 1 is provided with a plurality of clamping blocks 13 that can be clamped with the barcode scanner 4 in a ring shape.

[0071] Specifically, a plurality of clamping blocks 13 are arranged at intervals in a ring shape on the inner side wall of the fixing bracket 1, and a plurality of structures such as clamping grooves or protrusions are correspondingly arranged on the outer shell of the barcode scanner 4 to form a clamping connection with the clamping blocks 13.

[0072] By providing the clamping blocks 13, the fixing bracket 1 and the barcode scanner 4 are detachably connected, so as to facilitate the quick disassembly and installation of the fixing bracket 1 and improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly.

[0073] The scanning device includes a barcode scanner 4 and a reflection device as in the above embodiment. The reflection device is arranged on the barcode scanner 4.

[0074] Through the reflection device, according to the adjustment of the size of the product 5, the reflection precision of the reflection device and the position of the reading end of the barcode scanner 4 are adjusted, so as to flexibly adjust the coverage range that the barcode scanner 4 can cover, so as to completely and accurately read the information codes of different products 5, effectively improving the adaptability of the scanning device.

[0075] The production line includes a detection device 7 and a scanning device as in the above embodiment. The scanning device is arranged inside the detection device 7.

[0076] When the production line is in use, the product 5 can flow into the detection device 7, and products 5 of various sizes can all read the information code through the scanning device, so that various products 5 can all flow on the production line, so that while accurately obtaining the information of each product 5, the production efficiency of the production line can also be effectively improved.

[0077] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, rather than limitations on the implementation manners of the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present utility model. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present utility model.
