In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the light-shielding device provided in one embodiment of this utility model can be applied to a tobacco product conveying line.

[0035] It should be noted that the tobacco product conveyor line includes a conveying device and a barcode scanning camera; the conveying device is used to transport tobacco products and can transport them to the barcode scanning position; the barcode scanning camera is equipped with a flash and is used to scan the tobacco products located at the barcode scanning position. When the barcode scanning camera is scanning, the flash will flash.

[0036] Specifically, the conveying device can be a conveyor belt mechanism; the barcode scanning camera is fixed to the frame of the conveying device by a bracket; the tobacco product can be packaged cigarettes with a QR code or barcode printed on the packaging box; when the conveying device transports the tobacco product to the scanning position, the barcode scanning camera can scan the code on the tobacco product.

[0037] The light-shielding device of this invention is used to cover a barcode scanning camera and can cover the tobacco products located at the scanning position, thereby reducing light pollution.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the light-shielding device includes a light-shielding cover 100 and a blocking component 200.

[0039] The light shield 100 defines an accommodating space with an opening located at the bottom of the light shield 100.

[0040] Specifically, the light shield 100 is a hollow structure with an opening at the bottom, and the light shield 100 can cover the barcode scanning camera from top to bottom.

[0041] It should be noted that the light-shielding cover 100 is made of a light-shielding material, such as black plastic.

[0042] In other embodiments, the surface of the light-shielding cover 100 is coated with a light-shielding paint, such as a black paint, to achieve the purpose of light shielding.

[0043] It is understandable that the materials that can block light are not limited to those mentioned above. In nature, any light-blocking material that can achieve the effect of blocking light can be used to make a light-blocking cover 100.

[0044] Furthermore, the side wall of the light-shielding cover 100 is provided with an installation port that communicates with the receiving space; the blocking member 200 covers the installation port, the blocking member 200 has a transparent state and a light-shielding state, and the blocking member 200 can switch between the transparent state and the light-shielding state.

[0045] Specifically, the shielding component 200 can be an electronically atomized glass, which can be controlled to switch between a transparent state and a light-blocking state. When the shielding component 200 is in the transparent state, external operators can see the inside of the light-blocking cover 100 through the shielding component 200; when the shielding component 200 is in the light-blocking state, it can block the light emitted by the flash of the barcode scanning camera when it is working.

[0046] Of course, in other embodiments, the shield 200 can also be other glass capable of controlling the light transmission effect.

[0047] In other embodiments, the shielding member 200 includes a transparent layer and a light-shielding layer covering the transparent layer, the light-shielding layer being removable from the transparent layer; when the light-shielding layer covers the transparent layer, the shielding member 200 is in a light-shielding state, and when the light-shielding layer is removed from the transparent layer, the shielding member 200 is in a transparent state.

[0048] The transparent layer can be transparent glass, and the light-blocking layer can be a plate made of light-blocking material.

[0049] The light-shielding device of this invention can be applied to a tobacco product conveyor line. It is used to cover a barcode scanning camera and the tobacco product located at the scanning position. During normal operation of the tobacco product conveyor line, the shielding component 200 is in a light-shielding state, achieving a good light-shielding effect and reducing light pollution. It is also easy to understand that the shielding component 200 can be controlled to switch to a transparent state, allowing external operators to see inside the light-shielding cover 100 for monitoring.

[0050] In some embodiments, the light-shielding device further includes a limiting component disposed on the light-shielding cover 100, the limiting component including a support member (not shown) for supporting the shield 200, and an anti-tipping member 300 for preventing the shield 200 from tipping over.

[0051] Understandably, the support member is used to support the bottom of the shield 200 and prevent the shield 200 from sliding down under the action of gravity; the anti-tipping member 300 is used to hold the shield 200 and prevent the shield 200 from tipping over.

[0052] It should be noted that the limiting component can be disposed on the outer wall of the light-shielding cover 100 or on the inner wall of the light-shielding cover 100. Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting component is disposed on the outer wall of the light-shielding cover 100, which facilitates the operator in assembling the shielding component 200.

[0053] In some embodiments, the support member may be a horizontal support bar fixed to the lower side of the mounting port, or a plurality of support blocks fixed to the lower side of the mounting port and spaced apart in the horizontal direction.

[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the anti-tipping member 300 is disposed on the side of the vertical edge of the mounting opening, and the anti-tipping member 300 is provided with a slot 301 extending vertically, and the vertical side of the shield 200 passes through the slot 301.

[0055] Specifically, the mounting opening can be rectangular, with two vertical sides and two horizontal sides, and the anti-overturning component 300 is disposed on the side of the vertical side of the mounting opening; the shielding component 200 can also be rectangular, with two horizontal sides and two vertical sides; the vertical sides of the shielding component 200 are inserted into the slot 301 of the anti-overturning component 300.

[0056] The anti-tipping component 300 includes a connecting part 310 connected to the light shield 100, a bending part 320 connected to the connecting part 310, and a limiting part 330 connected to the bending part 320. The limiting part 330 and the bending part 320 are arranged at an angle, and the vertical side of the shield 200 is limited by the limiting part 330. The limiting part 330 can prevent the shield 200 from tipping over.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, it should be noted that the limiting assembly includes two anti-tipping components 300, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the two vertical sides of the mounting opening. The two vertical sides of the blocking component 200 are respectively inserted into the slots 301 of the two anti-tipping components 300. In this way, the reliability and stability of the installation of the blocking component 200 can be further improved.

[0058] The top of the slot 301 is open. Thus, when installing the shield 200, the shield 200 can be inserted into the slot 301 from top to bottom.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, it should be noted that the light shield 100 has a tobacco product inlet side 101 and a tobacco product outlet side. Under the action of the transport device, the tobacco product enters the light shield 100 through the tobacco product inlet side 101 and can be conveyed out through the tobacco product outlet side.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the tobacco product inlet side 101 and the tobacco product outlet side are the two opposite sides of the light shield 100.

[0061] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 Furthermore, both the tobacco product inlet side 101 and the tobacco product outlet side are provided with maintenance ports, and the light shielding device is provided with a door 400 that is movably connected to the light shielding cover 100 at the maintenance port. The bottom of the door 400 is provided with an avoidance opening 410.

[0062] The clearance opening 410 allows the conveyed tobacco products to pass through. When the tobacco products become misaligned inside the light-shielding cover 100, the operator can open the door 400 to correct the misalignment.

[0063] Of course, in other embodiments, a maintenance opening and a corresponding door 400 may be provided on the tobacco product inlet side 101; or a maintenance opening and a corresponding door 400 may be provided only on the tobacco product outlet side. However, in order for the light-shielding device not to obstruct the passage of the product, a corresponding clearance opening 410 should be provided on both the tobacco product inlet side 101 and the tobacco product outlet side.

[0064] The top side of the door 400 is rotatably connected to the light-shielding cover 100 via a hinge 500. Thus, the door 400 can be opened by flipping it upwards.

[0065] Furthermore, a baffle 600 is connected to the inner wall of the light shield 100. The baffle 600 is in a limiting fit with the door 400. The baffle 600 can prevent the door 400 from rotating into the light shield 100, reducing the risk of the door 400 shaking.

[0066] This utility model also provides a tobacco product conveying line, including a conveying device, a barcode scanning camera, and a light-shielding device as described in the above embodiments.

[0067] The conveying device is used to transport tobacco products and can transport tobacco products to the scanning position; the scanning camera is used to scan the tobacco products located at the scanning position, and the scanning camera is equipped with a flash; the light shield is installed on the scanning camera and can cover the tobacco products located at the scanning position.

[0068] In this utility model's tobacco product conveyor line, the conveying device is used to transport tobacco products and can transport them to the scanning position; the light-shielding device is used to cover the scanning camera and can cover the tobacco product located at the scanning position. Under normal operating conditions, the shielding component 200 is in a light-shielding state. At this time, the entire light-shielding device can achieve a good light-shielding effect, reducing light pollution. It is easily understood that the shielding component 200 can be controlled to switch to a transparent state. At this time, external operators can see the situation inside the light-shielding cover 100 through the shielding component 200, so that operators can monitor the situation.
