Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette production and packaging machine equipment, in particular to a FOCKE-FX2 small packet two-dimensional code reader mounting bracket. Background Art

[0002] The cigarette pack conveying channel of the FOCKE-FX2 packaging unit is designed for dual-track transportation of cigarette packs. The cigarette QR code is a unique identifier given to cigarette boxes or strip packs. The cigarette QR code on each box pack and strip pack follows the "one pack, one code" principle. The tobacco industry's cigarette QR code unified application project manages the life cycle of cigarette QR codes, starting with the cigarette QR code production plan, covering the cigarette QR code "code production, code issuance, code storage, code verification" and other processes; for this process, the appropriate position is selected to read the QR code on the cigarette pack. In the original small package QR code reading solution, the code reader is installed on the auxiliary machine conveying channel of the FX-2 packaging machine, and a photoelectric sensor is installed on the side of the channel to trigger the code reader to take pictures. The current code reader design has the following two shortcomings:

[0003] First, the barcode reader's photo capture is triggered by a photoelectric sensor, requiring the QR code to be visible for photo reading, without obstruction. However, during machine operation, cigarette packs may pass through the channel, obscuring the QR code and causing code reading failure.

[0004] Secondly, due to production needs and improvements to the packaging machine, a fume dispenser was installed in the middle of the auxiliary conveyor channel. To ensure smooth operation, this device also required a QR code reader. However, the existing solution installed the code reader too close to the fume dispenser, preventing the proper placement of the QR code reader. Even if it was installed, the skewed mounting position would result in reading failures. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a mounting bracket for a FOCKE-FX2 small-pack QR code reader. By redesigning the reader's mounting position and code reading scheme, the present invention uses an adjustable bracket in conjunction with the original cigarette pack block belt device to read the codes of conveyed cigarette packs, ensuring that the cigarette packs are not connected and avoiding the obstruction of the QR code. Specifically, the present invention achieves the above-mentioned objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A mounting bracket for a FOCKE-FX2 small packet QR code reader, comprising a block belt, a block belt bracket, and a frame; the block belt bracket is mounted on both ends of a conveyor belt, with an L-shaped fixing provided at the top end for fixed connection to the side of the frame; the block belt ends are mounted on the block belt bracket via an oblique connecting rod, and the entire bracket is positioned above a cigarette pack conveyor belt; the block belt comprises a block track and a drive roller, and a baffle perpendicular to the track surface is provided on the block track surface; cigarette packs are separated by the block track when conveyed from the conveyor belt below the block belt to prevent the packs from being connected; the bracket also includes:

[0007] A code reader bracket, a code reader and a photoelectric sensor; the code reader bracket is arranged and installed on the block belt bracket, and is used to set up the code reader; the photoelectric sensor is arranged and installed on the side of the conveyor belt, located at the block belt outlet, and is used to detect the cigarette packets conveyed from the block belt outlet; the code reader is used to read the codes of the cigarette packets conveyed from the block belt outlet.

[0008] Furthermore, the code reader bracket includes a folded corner connector, an adjusting piece and a mounting buckle; the two folded surfaces of the folded corner connector are respectively provided with through holes, the horizontal surface is used to connect the top of the block belt bracket, and the vertical surface is used to connect the adjusting piece, and the mounting buckle is arranged and installed on the adjusting piece for installing the code reader.

[0009] Furthermore, a transverse waist-shaped hole is provided on the adjusting member, which is fixed to a through hole opened on one side of the angle connector by a bolt passing through the waist-shaped hole. The horizontal installation position of the adjusting member is adjusted through the waist-shaped hole to adjust the position of the mounting buckle.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes an adjusting rod; the adjusting member and the mounting buckle are respectively provided with through holes in the vertical direction, and a threaded hole perpendicular to the axial direction of the through hole is provided in the through hole. The adjusting rod passes through the through hole to connect the adjusting member and the mounting buckle, and is fixed in position by means of screws in combination with the threaded holes.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjusting member and the code reader are hinged by a horizontal axis.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a limiting ring, the outer ring diameter of the limiting ring is larger than the diameter of the adjusting rod, and the inner ring diameter is smaller than the diameter of the adjusting rod. The limiting ring is arranged and installed on the end of the adjusting rod to prevent the adjusting part and the mounting buckle from falling out.

[0013] Furthermore, a threaded hole is provided in the axial direction at the end of the adjusting rod, and the limiting ring can be fixedly installed on the end of the adjusting rod by passing a bolt through the limiting ring and then screwing it into the threaded hole.

[0014] Furthermore, the through hole opened on the horizontal surface of the angle connector is a waist-shaped hole perpendicular to the top crossbeam of the block belt bracket.

[0015] During installation, first install the angle connector 11 horizontally on the top of the block belt bracket 3, with the vertical surface of the angle connector 11 facing downward; then install the adjustment member 12 on the angle connector 11 through the waist-shaped hole 16 on the angle connector 11, move it horizontally to the appropriate position and fix it; then use the adjustment rod 14 to pass through the vertical through-holes opened in the adjustment member 12 and the mounting buckle 13, and install the limit rings 141 at both ends of the adjustment rod 14 to prevent the adjustment member 12 and the mounting buckle 13 from falling out, then adjust the mounting buckle 13 to the appropriate height and fix it with screws. Finally, hinge the code reader 5 to the adjustment member 12 and rotate it up and down to the appropriate position. During use, when the cigarette pack 7 is separated by the block belt 2 and transported from the conveyor belt below the block belt 2 to the detection position of the photoelectric sensor 6, the photoelectric sensor 6 detects the cigarette pack 7 and the code reader 5 reads the code of the cigarette pack 7.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0017] This new design changes the installation location of the code reader, now installed downstream of the conveyor belt after the smoke dispenser is combined, and at the exit of the block belt, preventing the possibility of unsuccessful code reading due to interlocking packages. Furthermore, the code reader is mounted using a multi-position adjustable reader bracket, allowing it to be adjusted to the desired position for precise code reading.

[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the embodiments of the present utility model are as follows:

[0030] A mounting bracket for a FOCKE-FX2 small-pack QR code reader includes a block belt 2, a block belt bracket 3, and a frame 4. The block belt bracket 3 is mounted at both ends of the conveyor belt, with an L-shaped fixing 41 at its top end fixedly connected to the side of the frame 4. The ends of the block belt 2 are mounted on the block belt bracket 3 via an oblique connecting rod 21, and the entire bracket is positioned above the cigarette pack conveyor belt. The block belt 2 includes a block track 22 and a drive roller 23, with a baffle 24 perpendicular to the track surface. When cigarette packs 7 are conveyed on the conveyor belt below the block belt 2, they are separated by the block track 22 to prevent them from being connected. The bracket also includes a code reader bracket 1, a code reader 5, and a photoelectric sensor 6.

[0031] The code reader bracket 1 is mounted on the stopper belt bracket 3 and is used to mount the code reader 5. A photoelectric sensor 6 is mounted on the side of the conveyor belt, located at the exit of the stopper belt 2, and is used to detect the cigarette packs 7 conveyed from the exit of the stopper belt 2. The code reader 5 is used to read the codes of the cigarette packs 7 conveyed from the exit of the stopper belt 2. The code reader bracket 1 includes a folded angle connector 11, an adjustment member 12, a mounting buckle 13, and an adjustment rod 14. The two folded surfaces of the folded angle connector 11 each have through holes. The horizontal surface is used to connect to the top of the stopper belt bracket 3, and the vertical surface is used to connect to the adjustment member 12. The through hole on the horizontal surface of the folded angle connector 11 is a waist-shaped hole 16 perpendicular to the top crossbeam of the stopper belt bracket 3. The mounting buckle 13 is mounted on the adjustment member 12 and is used to mount the code reader 5. The adjustment member 12 and the code reader 5 are hinged by a horizontal axis. The adjusting member 12 is provided with a transverse waist-shaped hole 16. Bolts passing through the waist-shaped hole 16 secure it to a through-hole formed on one side of the angled connector 11. Adjusting the horizontal mounting position of the adjusting member 12, and thus the mounting buckle 13, is adjusted through the waist-shaped hole 16. The adjusting member 12 and the mounting buckle 13 each have vertical through-holes, each with a threaded hole 15 perpendicular to the axis of the through-hole. The adjusting rod 14 passes through the through-holes, connecting the adjusting member 12 and the mounting buckle 13, and is secured in position by screws engaged with the threaded hole 15. A stop ring 141 is provided on the adjusting rod 14. The outer diameter of the stop ring 141 is larger than that of the adjusting rod 14, while the inner diameter is smaller. The stop ring 141 is mounted on the end of the adjusting rod 14, which has a threaded hole 15 formed axially therein. A bolt passing through the stop ring 141 and screwing into the threaded hole 15 secures the stop ring 141 to the end of the adjusting rod 14, preventing the adjusting member 12 and the mounting buckle 13 from dislodging.

[0032] During installation, first install the horizontal surface of the angle connector 11 on the top of the block belt bracket 3, with the vertical surface of the angle connector 11 facing downward; then install the adjustment member 12 on the angle connector 11 through the waist-shaped hole 16 on the angle connector 11, move it horizontally to the appropriate position and fix it; then use the adjustment rod 14 to pass through the vertical through-holes opened in the adjustment member 12 and the mounting buckle 13, and install the limit rings 141 at both ends of the adjustment rod 14 to prevent the adjustment member 12 and the mounting buckle 13 from falling out, then adjust the mounting buckle 13 to the appropriate height and fix it with screws. Finally, hinge the code reader 5 to the adjustment member 12 and rotate it up and down to the appropriate position. During use, when the cigarette pack 7 is separated by the block belt 2 and transported from the conveyor belt below the block belt 2 to the detection position of the photoelectric sensor 6, the photoelectric sensor 6 detects the cigarette pack 7 and the code reader 5 reads the code of the cigarette pack 7.

[0033] It should be understood that the above-described specific embodiments of the present invention are merely illustrative of or explanation of the principles of the present invention and do not constitute limitations of the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
