Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of code scanning equipment, in particular to a wheel hub code scanning device. Background Art

[0002] After production, vehicle wheels undergo multiple inspection processes. To facilitate recording of wheel information, the wheels are often provided with coded information, such as one-dimensional or two-dimensional codes. Existing wheel wheel code information acquisition devices are typically mounted on the side of the wheel hub conveyor, as shown in Patent Publication No. CN213411894U and Patent Application Publication No. CN114770060A. However, due to differences in wheel hubs, the position of the code on the wheel hub can vary, and the code position also differs between different types of wheel hubs. In existing wheel hub code scanning devices, the scanner height is typically fixed, requiring adjustment of the wheel hub height to align it with the scanner for code recognition, or manual adjustment of the scanner height, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Regarding wheel hub height adjustment, the wheel hub itself weighs significantly more than the scanner, requiring higher power to control the wheel hub's elevation, increasing energy consumption. Furthermore, adjusting the wheel hub's elevation height is inconvenient. Therefore, a structure capable of controlling the elevation of the scanner is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a wheel hub code scanning device.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following solutions:

[0006] Furthermore, the movable structure includes a linear slide rail, and the code reading device is arranged on a slider of the linear slide rail.

[0007] Furthermore, the moving direction of the moving structure is parallel to the axial direction of the hub.

[0009] Furthermore, the mobile structure also includes a support base, which is detachably arranged on a side of the supporting device.

[0010] Furthermore, the support base includes a U-shaped connecting member, a first supporting member and a second supporting member; both ends of the connecting member are respectively connected to the supporting device; the first supporting member is vertically arranged above the connecting member; and a second supporting member for connecting the linear slide rail is fixedly arranged on the first supporting member.

[0011] Furthermore, the second support member is in the shape of an inverted T-shaped plate as a whole, wherein the plate at the bottom is connected to the upper surface of the first support member, and the other vertical plate is connected to the linear slide rail.

[0024] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the figures only show components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component can be changed at will, and the component layout type may also be more complicated.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a wheel hub code scanning device includes a supporting device 1 for supporting and transmitting the wheel hub 4 and a code reading device 2 for reading the code 41 set on the wheel hub 4, and also includes a movable structure 3 for adjusting the position of the code reading device 2; the movable structure 3 is fixedly set on the supporting device 1; the code reading device 2 is set on the movable structure 3, and the code reading device 2 is controlled by the movable structure 3 to move in a set direction; in this example, the wheel hub 4 is in a horizontally lying state and is horizontally transmitted on the upper surface of the supporting device 1, and the code reading device 2 is controlled by the movable structure 3 to move up and down in the vertical direction to identify the code 41 formed by steel stamping or casting on the outer side of the wheel hub 4; it should be noted that in this example, the code 41 on the wheel hub 4 is a one-dimensional code, wherein the one-dimensional code contains barcodes of different widths, and the code reading device 2 can obtain the barcode information according to the width and spacing of different barcodes to identify the code 41 of the wheel hub 4, and the method for the code reading device 2 to read the one-dimensional code 41 adopts the existing technology. It should be noted that the line extending from the code reading device 2 in the accompanying drawings is the code reading beam 21 .

[0027] The movable structure 3 includes a linear slide 31; a slider capable of sliding along the linear slide 31 is provided on the linear slide 31, and the code reading device 2 is provided on the slider of the linear slide 31; in this example, the linear slide 31 adopts a GCR embedded module, and the rotation of the internal ball screw is controlled by a motor, and the rotation of the ball screw is converted into the sliding of the slider, so as to control the relative position of the code reading device 2 on the slider. The moving direction of the linear slide 31 is parallel to the axial direction of the wheel hub 4. In this example, the wheel hub 4 is in a horizontal lying state as a whole, and the axis of the wheel hub 4 is in the vertical direction. Therefore, the sliding direction of the linear slide 31 is the vertical direction. It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the movable structure 3 can also adopt other transmission methods, such as a motor and a rack or an electric slide engaged therewith.

[0028] The movable structure 3 also includes a support base 32, which is detachably mounted on the side of the support device 1. The support base 32 includes a U-shaped connecting member 321, a first support member 322, and a second support member 323. The two ends of the connecting member 321 are respectively connected to the support device 1. The first support member 322 is vertically arranged above the connecting member 321. A second support member 323 for connecting to the linear guide rail 31 is fixedly arranged on the first support member 322. The second support member 323 is in the shape of an inverted T-shaped plate. The second support member 323 includes two square plate structures, which are arranged perpendicular to each other. The plate at the bottom is connected to the upper surface of the first support member 322, and the other vertical plate is connected to the linear guide rail 31. The linear guide rail 31 is located on one side of the vertical plate. In this example, a support plate 324 serving as a reinforcing rib is provided on the other side of the vertical plate in the second support member 323.

[0029] The linear slide 31 is also provided with a photoelectric sensor 311 for detecting the position of the code reader 2. A baffle 312 corresponding to the photoelectric sensor 311 is provided on the slider of the linear slide 31 or the code reader 2. When the baffle 312 is within the photoelectric sensor 311, it indicates that the code reader 2 is located near the photoelectric sensor 311. In this example, there are three photoelectric sensors 311, each of which is disposed at a predetermined position on the linear slide 31. In this example, two photoelectric sensors 311 are disposed near each end of the linear slide 31, and another photoelectric sensor 311 is disposed on the other side of the linear slide 31. Two baffles 312 corresponding to the photoelectric sensors 311 on either side of the linear slide 31 are provided on either side of the slider.

[0030] The upper surface of the support device 1 is provided with a roller conveyor for transmitting the wheel hub 4, and the roller conveyor drives the wheel hub 4 carried thereon to be transmitted along a set direction. The support device 1 is also provided with a structure for controlling the lifting and rotation of the wheel hub 4.

[0031] During the implementation process, by setting a code reading device 2 that can move in a set direction, the movement of the code reading device 2 is controlled with less power to complete the identification process of the code 41 on the side of the hub 4; by setting a support base 32 for supporting the linear slide 31, the linear slide 31 is controlled to be stably installed in the vertical direction; by setting a photoelectric sensor 311 on the linear slide 31, in conjunction with a baffle 312, the position of the code reading device 2 is detected to prevent the code reading device 2 from exceeding the height area of ​​the hub 4, which makes it difficult to align with the code 41 on the hub 4.

[0032] The above description is merely a specific example of the present invention and does not constitute any limitation thereto. It is obvious that those skilled in the art, after understanding the content and principles of the present invention, may make various modifications and changes in form and details without departing from the principles and structure of the present invention. However, such modifications and changes based on the concept of the present invention are still within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
