Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of seal equipment, in particular to a seal monitoring mechanism and seal equipment. Background Art

[0002] The existing seal equipment mainly includes an equipment housing, a seal carrier, a seal body, an ink box, a pressing part that drives the seal carrier to move up and down in the equipment housing, and an ink box flipping mechanism that drives the ink box to flip. There is a seal outlet for the seal body to enter and exit at the bottom of the equipment housing. The seal body is set on the seal carrier. The seal body has a seal pattern surface. The seal body can move to the seal outlet with the moving seal carrier, and then the seal pattern surface is stamped on the document to be stamped.

[0003] In order to monitor the performance of stamping operations, a sensor switch is usually installed in the stamping device. Once the stamp carrier that drives the stamp body moves to a predetermined position and touches the sensor switch, the stamping device is considered to have completed a stamping operation. However, this method also has problems: if someone places an unauthorized document under the seal pattern on the stamp body when the stamp carrier is about to touch the sensor switch but has not actually touched the sensor switch, in an attempt to complete the stamping operation before the stamp carrier touches the sensor switch without being monitored, then this method of monitoring stamping operations based on a sensor switch obviously carries a serious risk of being stamped. Utility Model Content

[0004] The first technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a stamp monitoring mechanism capable of accurately monitoring stamping operations and reducing the risk of unauthorized stamping.

[0005] The second technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a seal device using the seal monitoring mechanism.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the first technical problem is: a seal monitoring mechanism is configured to be applied to a seal device, and is characterized by comprising:

[0007] The first camera device is configured to be installed inside the seal device housing and capture the image of the seal body moving from the inside of the device housing to the seal outlet of the device housing;

[0008] a processor connected to the first camera device;

[0009] Among them, the seal device is provided with a seal carrier which can move back and forth between the inner side of the device housing and the seal outlet of the device housing after being driven, and the seal body moves with the movement of the seal carrier.

[0010] As an improvement, in the seal monitoring mechanism, a positioning identifier for capture by a first camera device is provided at a horizontal position of the bottom edge of the seal carrier.

[0011] Furthermore, in the seal monitoring mechanism, the positioning identifier is a vertical stripe arranged along the axial direction of the seal carrier.

[0012] Furthermore, in the seal monitoring mechanism, the vertical stripes are black and white stripes arranged alternately.

[0013] As an improvement, in this utility model, the seal monitoring mechanism further includes a seal pressure detector for detecting the pressure exerted on the seal body, and the seal pressure detector is connected to the processor.

[0014] Furthermore, in the seal monitoring mechanism, the seal pressure detector is arranged on the seal carrier.

[0015] As a further improvement, in this utility model, the stamp monitoring mechanism further comprises a second camera device configured to detect the document to be stamped outside the device housing, and the second camera device is connected to the processor.

[0016] As an improvement, in the stamp monitoring mechanism, the stamp pattern surface of the stamp body extends out through the stamp carrier and is located at a preset distance from the lower end surface of the stamp carrier.

[0017] Preferably, in the stamp monitoring mechanism, the preset distance position is located 2 to 3 mm below the lower end surface of the stamp carrier.

[0018] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the second technical problem is: a seal device, characterized in that it applies any one of the seal monitoring mechanisms described above.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: the monitoring mechanism includes a first camera device and a processor connected to the first camera device, the first camera device being configured to be positioned inside the housing of a stamping device and capturing an image of the seal body moving from the inside of the housing toward the stamp outlet of the device; the stamping device is provided with a seal carrier that can be driven to move back and forth between the inside of the housing and the stamp outlet of the device, and the seal body moves with the movement of the seal carrier. The captured seal body image is sent by the first camera device to the processor for processing to identify whether the seal body has made contact with the document to be stamped at the stamp outlet. Once contact has occurred, the stamping device is determined to have completed a stamping operation. Because the recognition and judgment of the stamping operation are performed throughout the entire process of the seal body's movement, real-time recognition of the seal body's position is achieved, improving the real-time accuracy of the stamping operation when the seal body moves to the outside of the stamp outlet.

[0025] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] This embodiment provides a seal monitoring mechanism configured to be applied to a seal device. The seal device has a device housing 1. The bottom of the device housing 1 has a seal outlet 10 for the seal body to enter and exit. The inner side of the device housing 1 is provided with a seal carrier 2 that can be driven to move back and forth between the inner side of the device housing 1 and the seal outlet 10 of the device housing. The seal body S moves with the movement of the seal carrier 2. For example, the seal device further has a driving member D that cooperates with the device housing to drive the seal carrier to move inside the device housing. Specifically, see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the stamp monitoring mechanism in this embodiment includes a first camera device 3 and a processor 4, the processor 4 is connected to the first camera device 3, and the first camera device 3 is configured to be set to the inner side of the stamp device housing 1 and to collect the image of the seal body moving from the inner side of the device housing 1 to the seal outlet 10 of the device housing; for example, the first camera device 3 is set on the inner side of the device housing.

[0027] In this embodiment, the stamp monitoring mechanism captures images of the seal body as it moves with the seal carrier within the device housing, and transmits the captured images to a processor. The processor then processes the received images to identify whether the seal body has made contact with the document to be stamped at the exit. Once contact is detected between the seal body and the document to be stamped at the exit, the stamp device is determined to have completed a stamping operation. Because the processor identifies images of the entire movement of the seal body from the inside of the device housing to the outside of the exit, the first camera captures images of the seal body throughout the entire movement process, rather than waiting until the seal body reaches the exit. This ensures that the recognition operation for the seal body's movement position is performed throughout the entire movement process, enabling real-time recognition of the seal body's position and improving both real-time performance and accuracy when the seal body moves to the exit.

[0028] In order to further enhance the detection accuracy of the position of the seal body, in this embodiment, the horizontal position of the bottom edge of the seal carrier 2 can also be provided with a positioning identifier (not shown in the figure) for the first camera device to collect. For example, the positioning identifier can be selected to adopt vertical stripes arranged along the axial direction of the seal carrier, and the vertical stripes are, for example, stripes arranged at intervals of black and white. In this way, as long as the first camera device collects the positioning identifier image on the seal carrier, the processor can process the positioning identifier image and promptly and accurately determine the position to which the seal carrier is currently moved, thereby accurately monitoring the seal carrier position in real time. Of course, the positioning identifier can also select other identification forms as needed so that its image can be collected by the above-mentioned first camera device.

[0029] To ensure accurate monitoring of stamping operations from multiple angles, the stamp monitoring mechanism of this embodiment also includes a stamp pressure detector 5 for detecting the pressure applied to the stamp. This detector is connected to the processor 4. The detector is mounted on the stamp carrier 2. In this manner, after the processor determines whether a stamping operation has been completed based on the stamp image captured by the first camera, the detector further verifies whether the stamping operation has been completed by detecting the pressure applied to the stamp.

[0030] To preserve more comprehensive forensic images of the stamping process, the stamping monitoring mechanism of this embodiment further includes a second camera 7 configured to monitor the document to be stamped on the outside of the device housing. This second camera 7 is connected to the processor 4. In other words, the first camera captures an image of the seal on the inside of the device housing, while the second camera captures an image of the document to be stamped on the outside of the device housing (specifically, the portion of the document to be stamped that does not extend into the stamp exit). This allows the relevant images of the stamping process to be preserved, facilitating subsequent retrieval and use.

[0031] In this embodiment, an illuminating device 6 can also be provided inside the device housing 1 and the illuminating device 6 is located on one side of the outer side of the seal body, so that the moving seal body will form a seal body projection area that changes in size and can be captured by the first camera device between the seal body seal pattern surface and the paper document to be stamped after the illuminating device is started. Of course, the illuminating device is preferably located in the lateral direction of the seal body central axis. In this way, as the seal body gradually moves downward and the seal body pattern surface contacts the paper document to be stamped, the area of the seal body projection area captured by the first camera device will gradually change, and when the seal pattern surface contacts the paper document to be stamped, the seal body projection area will disappear, thereby judging that the seal pattern surface has contacted the paper document to be stamped at this time, and a stamping operation has been completed.

[0032] As another convenient way to detect the real-time position of the seal body, in this embodiment, the seal pattern surface of the seal body S can also be extended through the seal carrier 2 and positioned at a preset distance from the lower end surface of the seal carrier. Preferably, the preset distance position is 2 to 3 mm below the lower end surface of the seal carrier.

[0033] In addition, this embodiment further provides a seal device, which includes a device housing 1 and a seal carrier 2 that can be driven to move up and down within the device housing, and a seal body S that moves with the seal carrier 2. The seal device herein is applied with the above-mentioned seal monitoring mechanism.

[0034] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, it should be clearly understood that various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
