[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides an identification device, which includes a bracket 10, a support plate 30 and an identification component. The support plate 30 is arranged on the bracket 10 and can move relative to the bracket 10; the identification component includes a controller and an identification camera 51. The identification camera 51 is arranged on the support plate 30, and the identification camera 51 is communicated with the controller for identifying the cigarette product 100.

[0038] By setting an identification component on the bracket 10, placing the cigarette product 100 under the bracket 10, adjusting the relative movement of the support plate 30 and the bracket 10, the position of the identification component is adjusted; using the identification camera 51 and the controller, the identification camera 51 can scan and collect information data of the cigarette product 100 (same brand or different brands), and send the information data to the controller, so as to identify and monitor the specifications and position information of the cigarette product 100 online, so as to adjust and summarize the cigarette products 100 in time and avoid the disorderly stacking of cigarette products 100 of different specifications.

[0039] In this embodiment, the recognition camera 51 is a 3D detector; the controller is a computer, such as a 3D scanner. It is understood that the 3D detector can be connected to the computer in a variety of ways, such as via a USB interface or Wi-Fi, suitable for wireless operation. The 3D detector can scan the cigarette products 100, obtain surface pattern information and location information of the cigarette products 100, and transmit it to the computer. The surface pattern information can be used to determine the specifications of the cigarette products 100, and the location information can be used to determine whether the cigarette products 100 are neatly stacked, facilitating timely sorting.

[0040] Specifically, the bracket 10 is a gantry bracket, which includes a crossbeam 11 and two columns 12, and the two columns 12 are detachably connected to the crossbeam 11. By setting a gantry bracket in which the columns 12 and the crossbeam 11 are detachably connected, the structure is simple, safe and reliable, and can be quickly installed or disassembled, occupies a small area, and is convenient for transfer and use in different sites; by selecting the appropriate length of the crossbeam 11 and the column 12 as needed, the height and width of the bracket 10 can be adjusted to adapt to a variety of application scenarios, and has good flexibility and applicability. Among them, the crossbeam 11 and the column 12 can be detachably connected in a variety of ways, such as using bolts or quick-release sleeves. In other embodiments, the crossbeam 11 and the column 12 can also be welded.

[0041] In this embodiment, the crossbeam 11 extends horizontally, and the columns 12 extend vertically. The top ends of the two columns 12 are respectively connected to the two ends of the crossbeam 11. The crossbeam 11 and the columns 12 are both made of metal. The crossbeam 11 can be made of I-beam steel, and the columns 12 are made of support channel steel. The use of I-beam steel as the crossbeam 11 provides better bending strength and rigidity due to its I-shaped cross section, making it suitable for components that bear lateral loads. The use of support channel steel as the columns 12 provides high strength and good stability. The cross-sectional design of the support channel steel can effectively resist bending and deformation, providing stable support. The support channel steel has excellent corrosion resistance and can be used for long periods of time in special environments, with a long service life. The support channel steel is also inexpensive and requires almost no maintenance during use, resulting in low maintenance costs.

[0042] To enable movement of the support plate 30, a first movable assembly 20 is provided on the uprights 12. The ends of the support plate 30 are connected to the two uprights 12 via the first movable assemblies 20, allowing the support plate 30 and the crossbeam 11 to move closer or further away from each other. The first movable assembly 20 allows the support plate 30 and the crossbeam 11 to move closer or further away from each other, allowing the height of the support plate 30 to be adjusted as needed, accommodating cigarette products 100 of varying heights.

[0043] Furthermore, a second movable assembly 40 is provided on the support plate 30, and the identification camera 51 is connected to the support plate 30 via the second movable assembly 40. The identification camera 51 can move relative to the support plate 30 between the two columns 12. The provision of the second movable assembly 40 enables the identification camera 51 to move relative to the support plate 30, which is suitable for cigarette products 100 in different positions.

[0044] Optionally, the first moving assembly 20 includes a synchronous belt linear slide module or a linear guide slide; the second moving assembly 40 also includes a synchronous belt linear slide module or a linear guide slide. By setting up a synchronous belt linear slide module or a linear guide slide, accurate positioning can be achieved according to the position of the cigarette product 100, and the recognition camera 51 can be adjusted to the corresponding position in time to complete the scan. The transmission efficiency is high and it can reach a high operating state in a relatively short time. It has the characteristics of low noise and low vibration. Among them, the structure of the synchronous belt linear slide module and the linear guide slide can be set with reference to the existing technology and will not be repeated here.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first movable component 20 is arranged vertically and the second movable component 40 is arranged horizontally; there are two first movable components 20, and the two first movable components 20 are respectively arranged on the inner sides of the two columns 12, that is, a first movable component 20 is respectively arranged at both ends of the support plate 30, and the movable ends of the two first movable components 20 are respectively connected to the two ends of the support plate 30; the second movable component 40 is arranged at the bottom of the support plate 30, and the movable end of the second movable component 40 is connected to the identification camera 51.

[0046] To ensure the support stability of the bracket 10, the identification device also includes a support base 60. The column 12 is mounted on the support base 60. The cross-sectional area of ​​the support base 60 is larger than that of the column 12. By providing the support base 60 at the bottom of the column 12 of the bracket 10, the contact area with the ground is increased, thereby ensuring the stability of the bracket 10. In this embodiment, two support bases 60 are provided, and the two columns 12 are connected to the top of the two support bases 60 respectively. The columns 12 can be mounted on the support base 60 by welding or by bolts.

[0047] Optionally, the support seat 60 includes a base plate 61 and a bearing structure 62, the bearing structure 62 is connected to the column 12 and the base plate 61; the bearing structure 62 includes a bearing top plate 621 and a bearing bottom plate 623, the bearing top plate 621 is connected to the column 12, the bearing bottom plate 623 is connected to the base plate 61, and a reinforcement block 622 is provided between the bearing top plate 621 and the bearing bottom plate 623.

[0048] By setting up a base plate 61 and a bearing structure 62, the base plate 61 can be fixed on the ground, and the bearing structure 62 is used to support the bracket 10; by setting up a bearing structure 62 with a reinforcement block 622, the rigidity of the bearing structure 62 is enhanced, and the overall stability of the support seat 60 is improved, so that the bracket 10 can remain stable in various environments; by setting bearing structures 62 of different thicknesses or base plates 61 of different thicknesses, the thickness of the support seat 60 can be changed, so that it is suitable for usage scenarios of different heights and has better flexibility.

[0049] In this embodiment, the bearing structure 62 is arranged on the top of the base plate 61, the bearing base plate 623 and the bearing top plate 621 are connected by a reinforcing block 622, and the reinforcing block 622, the bearing base plate 623 and the bearing top plate 621 are formed into an integral structure through welding or an integral molding process, and the column 12 is arranged on the top of the bearing top plate 621; the bearing structure 62 can be fixed to the base plate 61 by welding or bolt connection.

[0050] Optionally, base plate 61 is provided with rivet holes. In this embodiment, a row of rivet holes is provided on each side of base plate 61, with each row comprising three rivet holes spaced side by side. By providing rivet holes on base plate 61, rivets can be easily installed through the holes and driven into the ground, thereby securing base plate 61 to the ground. This allows for quick installation, a secure fit, and an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0051] To accommodate the cigarette products 100, the identification device also includes a storage rack 70 located below the bracket 10 for storing the cigarette products 100. In this embodiment, three storage racks 70 are arranged side by side, spaced apart, and all three are located below the crossbeam 11. Multiple cigarette products 100 are stacked on top of each storage rack 70. The three storage racks 70 are used to store cigarette products 100 of three different sizes.

[0052] The following is the specific use process of the identification device:

[0053] A robotic arm is used to grab the cigarette products 100 and stack them on the corresponding placement racks 70. The bracket 10 is located above the cigarette products 100. The first moving component 20 is used to adjust the height of the support plate 30 so that the support plate 30 descends and gradually approaches the cigarette products 100. The second moving component 40 is then used to adjust the relative position of the recognition camera 51 and the support plate 30 so that the recognition camera 51 can perform online monitoring of the cigarette products 100 on the placement rack 70. If cigarette products 100 of different specifications are detected on the same placement rack 70 (or when the cigarette products 100 are not placed neatly), the cigarette products 100 with disordered positions can be picked up and sorted manually to solve the problem of disordered stacking of cigarette products 100 of different specifications.

[0054] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented.
