[0002] In the glass production process, the continuous glass ribbon is cut into block-shaped glass bricks, such as Figure 1 As shown, a digital code corresponding to the production information is often engraved on one side of the glass brick in the width direction using a laser device. In the subsequent production process, the corresponding production information can be quickly obtained through the digital code to facilitate production process analysis, subpackaging, and tracing the cause of production anomalies. Currently, after the digital code is engraved, it is generally read and recorded manually. However, manual reading and recording of digital codes is not only labor-intensive, but also prone to reading errors, recording errors, and omissions, resulting in increased workload for troubleshooting production anomalies and mixing of materials when subpackaging different batches of glass bricks. Therefore, it is necessary to design a system that can easily identify and record digital codes on glass bricks to reduce manual labor intensity, reduce errors in reading and recording digital codes, and improve the stability of glass production.

The mouth of the card slot faces upward and its width corresponds to the thickness of the glass brick, so that the side of the glass brick opposite to the side where the digital code is located can be placed therein and the glass brick can stand on the base; the inner wall of the card slot forms the support surface.

[0009] Furthermore, the width of the slot is greater than the thickness of the glass brick, so that the glass brick placed thereon can be tilted.

[0010] Furthermore, a baffle is vertically provided on the base, the upper end of the baffle is higher than the glass brick on the bracket, the baffle is located on one side in the width direction of the card slot, and the baffle extends along the direction in which the two card blocks are spaced apart.

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] Example:

[0025] See Figure 2 A glass code recognition device includes a base 1, a bracket 4 for placing a glass brick 3 is provided on the base 1, and an image acquisition device 5 is also provided on the base 1. The image acquisition device 5 is used to acquire a digital code 6 on the glass brick 3 placed on the bracket 4. The image acquisition device 5 is electrically connected to a control processing device, which is used to read and record the digital code 6.

[0026] The glass code identification device of the present invention is used to place the glass brick 3 on the bracket 4. Figure 3As shown, image data of the position of the digital code 6 on the glass brick 3 is obtained, and the digital code 6 contained in the image data is obtained and recorded based on the visual recognition technology; the glass code recognition device of the present invention uses the image acquisition device 5 and the control processing device to replace the manual reading of the digital code 6, which not only reduces the intensity of manual labor, but also makes the device reading and recording the digital code 6 more stable and reliable, avoids the influence of individual differences in manual labor on the reading and recording of the digital code 6, reduces reading errors, recording errors and omissions, and is conducive to improving the degree of automation of glass production; the glass code recognition device can effectively solve the problem of high labor intensity in the current manual reading and recording of the digital code 6, and achieves the effect of reducing reading and recording errors and improving production stability.

[0027] See Figure 2 , a light source is provided on the base 1, and the emitted light of the light source is parallel to the supporting surface of the bracket 4 for supporting the glass brick 3. Specifically, the light source is set on a surface perpendicular to the base 1, and the emitted light of the light source is directed directly toward one end face of the glass brick 3 placed on the bracket 4, and the end face is adjacent to the side where the digital code 6 is located; in this way, after the glass brick 3 is placed on the bracket 4 and the light source is enabled, the light emitted by the light source enters the glass brick 3 through the end face adjacent to the side where the digital code 6 is located, and the light is refracted in the glass brick 3, so that the side where the digital code 6 is located produces a certain self-luminous effect, which is not only conducive to reducing the influence of the ambient light reflected on the side where the digital code 6 is located on the imaging of the image acquisition device 5, but also can enhance the recognizability of the digital code 6, so that the control processing device can read the digital code 6 faster and more accurately based on the image data acquired by the image acquisition device 5.

[0028] See Figure 2 The base 1 has an abutting surface 7 for abutting the end surface, and the light source is recessed on the abutting surface 7. In this way, the glass brick 3 is placed on the bracket 4, and the end surface adjacent to the side where the digital code 6 is located abuts against the abutting surface 7. The light emitted by the light source recessed on the abutting surface 7 is completely injected into the glass brick 3, which not only improves the utilization rate of the light source, but also avoids the light from scattering around the glass brick 3, thereby affecting the imaging effect of the image acquisition device 5 and the control processing device reading the digital code 6.

[0029] See Figure 2, the image acquisition device 5 is located above the bracket 4, and the bracket 4 includes two spaced-apart blocks 8, and the block 8 has a card slot that is arranged along the spacing direction of the two blocks 8, the mouth of the card slot is facing upward and the width corresponds to the thickness of the glass brick 3, so that the side of the glass brick 3 opposite to the side where the digital code 6 is located can be placed and the glass brick 3 can stand on the base 1, and the inner wall of the card slot is formed as the supporting surface; in this way, the glass brick 3 is erected on the base 1 through the bracket 4, and the glass brick 3 not only has a spacing from the base 1, but also leaves a space between the two spaced-apart blocks 8, which makes it easy to take and place the glass brick 3; when placing the glass brick 3, the side of the glass brick 3 opposite to the digital code 6 can be manually supported, or the opposite sides can be clamped by a robot, and the side of the glass brick 3 opposite to the side where the digital code 6 is located can be inserted into the card slots on the two card blocks 8, so that the glass brick 3 stands on the base 1 and the side where the digital code 6 is located faces the image acquisition device 5.

[0030] See Figure 2 The width of the card slot is greater than the thickness of the glass brick 3, so that the glass brick 3 placed thereon is tilted, and the width direction of the card slot is perpendicular to the direction in which the two card blocks 8 are spaced apart. In this way, after the glass brick 3 is inserted into the card slot on the two card blocks 8, since the width of the card slot is greater than the thickness of the glass brick 3, the glass brick 3 can be in a stable tilted state, and the side surface of the glass brick 3 where the digital code 6 is located is also tilted accordingly, so that its vertical projection area is reduced, which is conducive to reducing the influence of ambient light, especially the light on the roof of the workshop, on the image acquisition device 5 acquiring the image data of the digital code 6.

[0031] See Figure 2 A baffle 9 is vertically provided on the base 1, and the upper end of the baffle 9 is higher than the glass brick 3 on the bracket 4. The baffle 9 is located on one side in the width direction of the card slot, and the baffle 9 extends along the direction in which the two card blocks 8 are spaced apart. In this way, after the glass brick 3 is inserted into the card slot on the two card blocks 8, it is tilted toward the side where the baffle 9 is located. The baffle 9 plays a light-shielding role, which can further reduce the ambient light irradiated on the side where the digital code 6 is located, which is conducive to the image acquisition device 5 to obtain clearer image data of the digital code 6.

[0032] See Figure 2 A support rod 10 is vertically provided on the base 1, and the image acquisition device 5 is slidably connected to the support rod 10 and can move vertically; in this way, the height of the image acquisition device 5 can be adjusted according to the size of the glass brick 3 or imaging needs.

[0033] See Figure 2, the support rod 10 is connected to a cross bar 12 through a cross clamp seat 11, and the image acquisition device 5 is connected to the cross bar 12, so that the position and orientation of the image acquisition device 5 can be adjusted through the cross bar 12 and the cross clamp seat 11; in this way, by loosening the screws on the cross clamp seat 11 for clamping the support rod 10, the height and horizontal position of the cross bar 12 and the image acquisition device 5 thereon from the base 1 can be adjusted by vertically moving the cross clamp seat 11 on the support rod 10 and rotating the cross clamp seat 11 around the support rod 10, and the cross bar 12 and the image acquisition device 5 thereon can be adjusted by vertically moving the cross clamp seat 11 on the support rod 10 and rotating the cross clamp seat 11 around the support rod 10. The screw can move the cross bar 12 laterally on the cross clamp seat 11 and rotate the cross bar 12 around its own axis, thereby adjusting the horizontal distance and angle between the image acquisition device 5 and the support rod 10; the image acquisition device 5 is arranged on the base 1 through the support rod 10, the cross clamp seat 11 and the cross bar 12. When in use, the vertical distance, horizontal distance and orientation of the image acquisition device 5 and the digital code 6 on the glass brick 3 can be flexibly adjusted to meet the requirements of the image acquisition device 5 for its own position and posture in order to obtain clear image data for various specifications of glass.

[0034] See Figure 2 An infrared sensor is provided on the base 1, and the infrared sensor is used to sense whether a glass brick 3 is placed on the bracket 4. The control processing device is electrically connected to the infrared sensor and the light source, respectively, so that the control processing device enables the light source and the image acquisition device 5 when the glass brick 3 is placed on the bracket 4; in this way, when in use, after the infrared sensor senses that a glass brick 3 is placed on the bracket 4, it transmits a signal to the control processing device, so that the control processing device controls the light source and the image acquisition device 5 to work, which is conducive to simplifying the operating steps and provides a hardware foundation for automation. Through reasonable control design, in conjunction with the robot arm to grab the glass brick 3, the operation of reading and recording the digital code 6 on the glass brick 3 is completely performed by the machine.

[0035] See Figure 2 A sound and light alarm 13 is provided on the base 1, and the sound and light alarm 13 is electrically connected to the control processing device so as to emit corresponding prompt lights according to the reading results. In this way, when in use, when the control processing device reads the digital code 6, the control processing device controls the sound and light alarm 13 to emit green light, indicating that the reading is normal. When the control processing device fails to successfully read the digital code 6, the control processing device controls the sound and light alarm 13 to emit red light, indicating that the reading is wrong, and at the same time, an alarm sound is issued to remind the operator to manually read or screen out the glass bricks 3 with incomplete digital codes 6.

[0036] See Figure 2In this embodiment, an L-shaped shell 2 is provided on the base 1, and two mutually perpendicular inner side surfaces of the L-shaped shell 2 are perpendicular to the base 1 to form a corner space. The two mutually perpendicular inner side surfaces of the L-shaped shell 2 serve as the baffle 9 and form the abutment surface 7 respectively, and the block 8 is located in the corner space; the control processing device is provided in the L-shaped shell 2, and the sound and light alarm 13 and the support rod 10 are installed on the L-shaped shell 2.
