Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of RFID scanners, specifically relating to a shelf information scanning device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern logistics and retail industries, the efficiency and accuracy of goods management are paramount. Traditional manual inventory checks are inefficient and prone to errors. With the development of IoT technology, shelf information scanning devices, especially RFID scanning devices, have emerged. These devices can automatically identify goods on shelves with RFID tags and quickly obtain detailed information such as type, quantity, and location. This not only enables real-time inventory monitoring, optimizes replenishment processes, and reduces stockouts, but also plays a crucial role in supply chain traceability, significantly improving the industry's operational management level and competitiveness.

[0003] In commercial and warehousing environments, the information displayed on the control panel of a scanning device may contain sensitive content. For example, in the retail industry, the control panel may display trade secrets such as the purchase price, cost, profit margin, and inventory replenishment plans of goods. Traditional scanning devices lack effective shielding structures, making it easy for this private information to be seen by surrounding customers, competitors, or other unrelated personnel. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a shelf information scanning device to address the issue mentioned in the background art, where the information displayed on the operating screen of the scanning device may contain sensitive content. For example, in the retail industry, the operating screen may display trade secret information such as the purchase price, cost, profit margin, and inventory replenishment plan of goods. Traditional scanning devices lack effective shielding structures, making it easy for this private information to be seen by surrounding customers, competitors, or other unrelated personnel.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a shelf information scanning device, comprising a scanning device body and a handle disposed on the lower side of the scanning device body;

[0006] The main body of the scanning device is powered by an internal power supply.

[0007] An operation screen is provided at the upper middle position of the handle, and a switch button is provided at the lower side of the operation screen.

[0008] A baffle is provided at the front end of the handle, a slide rail is provided at the middle of the lower side of the handle, a cover is provided at the lower front side of the handle, and a locking block is provided at the connection between the cover and the slide rail.

[0009] Preferably, the cover plate is U-shaped, and the card block is connected to the cover plate by welding.

[0010] Preferably, the locking block is connected to the slide rail via a nested connection, and the cover plate can move within the slide rail via the locking block.

[0011] Preferably, the card block is made of magnetic material and can be magnetically attached to the handle.

[0012] Preferably, the handle is connected to the scanning device body via a threaded connection, and the scanning device body has a built-in radio frequency module, a control module, and an antenna.

[0013] Preferably, a slider is provided on the inner side of the upper rear side and the inner sides of the left and right ends of the main body of the scanning device. A sleeve is provided on the upper side of the slider, a connecting post is connected to the end of the sleeve, and a spring is provided at the upper end of the connecting post.

[0014] Preferably, the sleeve fits the upper outer contour of the slider, the spring is connected to the connecting post by welding, and the end of the spring is disposed inside the scanning device body. A pressure ring is provided at the connection position between the slider and the scanning device body.

[0015] Preferably, the pressure ring conforms to the lower outer contour of the slider, and the pressure ring is connected to the scanning device body via a threaded connection, allowing the slider to rotate within the scanning device body.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a shelf information scanning device, which has the following features:

[0017] Beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The following advantages can be achieved by the arrangement of the cover plate, the locking block, and the slide rail in this utility model:

[0019] In a business environment, control panels may display sensitive information about goods, such as pricing strategies, sourcing channels, and inventory details—all trade secrets. A U-shaped shield effectively blocks the space on either side of the control panel, preventing this information from being easily viewed by unauthorized personnel, thus protecting business privacy.

[0020] For example, during supermarket promotional preparations, staff use a scanning device to check the inventory of promotional items. At this time, information such as the purchase price of promotional items and the profit margin after the promotion displayed on the control panel is obscured by a partition to prevent competitors or customers from seeing it.

[0021] In addition, this movable cover structure allows the device to be flexibly adjusted according to the actual usage scenario. When it is necessary to view the information on the control screen, the cover can be moved away without obstructing operation; and when privacy needs to be protected, the cover can be quickly moved to a suitable position.

[0022] For example, when inventorying goods in a warehouse, if only staff are around, the barriers can be moved aside for easy operation; however, if visitors are to tour the warehouse, staff can easily move the barriers to a protective position to adapt to different environmental needs.

[0023] 2. The present invention achieves the following advantages through the arrangement of the sliding ball, clamp, connecting post, spring, and pressure ring:

[0024] The rotation of the slider makes the scanning device move more smoothly across the surface of the goods. This allows workers to move the scanning device more quickly among the many goods on the shelf, reducing time wasted due to equipment jamming or uneven movement, thereby improving the speed and efficiency of information scanning.

[0025] Furthermore, since the scanning device itself does not directly contact the goods, but moves across the surface via a slider, it effectively avoids potential damage such as scratches, abrasions, and collisions. This is especially important for goods with easily damaged surfaces, such as high-end electronic products, precision instruments, and fragile items.

[0026] The smooth movement reduces hand strain for operators when using the scanning device. Compared to devices without this design, it is easier and more comfortable to use, reducing fatigue during extended operation and thus improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0038] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution for a shelf information scanning device: a shelf information scanning device, including a scanning device body 1 and a handle 2 disposed on the lower side of the scanning device body 1;

[0039] The main body 1 of the scanning device is powered by an internal power supply;

[0040] An operation screen 3 is provided at the upper middle position of the handle 2, and a switch button 8 is provided at the lower position of the operation screen 3;

[0041] A baffle 6 is provided at the front end of the handle 2, a slide rail 5 is provided at the middle of the lower side of the handle 2, a cover plate 4 is provided at the lower front side of the handle 2, and a locking block 9 is provided at the connection between the cover plate 4 and the slide rail 5.

[0042] The handle 2 is connected to the scanning device body 1 by a threaded connection. The scanning device body 1 has a built-in radio frequency module, a control module and an antenna.

[0043] In this embodiment, the user first activates the scanning device body 1 by operating the switch button 8 on the handle 2. The internal power supply powers the entire device, enabling the built-in radio frequency module, control module, and antenna to operate. The radio frequency module generates a radio frequency signal at a specific frequency and transmits it outward through the antenna. When the scanning device approaches goods with RFID tags on the shelf, the tag receives the signal and transmits its stored information back to the antenna of the scanning device. The antenna then receives the signal and transmits it to the control module. The control module processes and decodes the signal, extracting the goods information from the tag, such as the goods name, number, quantity, and production date. This information is then transmitted to the operation screen 3 for display. Staff can intuitively view the relevant information on the operation screen for operations such as inventory counting, information verification, and inventory management.

[0044] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the cover plate 4 is U-shaped, and the locking block 9 is connected to the cover plate 4 by welding. The locking block 9 is connected to the slide rail 5 by nesting. The cover plate 4 can move within the slide rail 5 through the locking block 9. The locking block 9 is made of magnetic material and can be magnetically attached to the handle 2.

[0045] Preferably, the cover plate 4 is moved within the slide rail 5 located below the front side of the handle 2 via a locking block 9 at its connection point. The locking block 9 is embedded in the slide rail 5 in a nested connection manner. Since the locking block 9 is made of magnetic material, when an external force is applied to push or pull the cover plate 4, the locking block 9 can smoothly slide the cover plate 4 along the slide rail 5, thereby changing the position of the cover plate 4.

[0046] When privacy of the control panel 3 needs to be protected, the cover 4 is moved upward along the slide rail 5, causing the two wings of the U-shape to move to the lower side of the control panel 3, thereby blocking the space on both sides of the control panel 3 and preventing others from easily seeing the private information such as cargo information displayed on the control panel. Furthermore, relying on the magnetic connection of the latch 9, the cover 4 can be firmly attached to a specific position on the slide rail 5 inside the handle 2, maintaining the privacy protection of the control panel 3. When privacy protection is not required, such as when staff are normally operating and viewing information on the control panel 3, the cover 4 can be moved in the opposite direction to a position that does not affect the use of the control panel 3.

[0047] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a slider 7 is provided on the inner rear upper side and the inner sides of the left and right ends of the scanning device body 1. A sleeve 11 is provided on the upper side of the slider 7. A connecting post 12 is connected to the end of the sleeve 11. A spring 13 is provided at the upper end of the connecting post 12. The sleeve 11 fits the upper outer contour of the slider 7. The spring 13 is connected to the connecting post 12 by welding. The end of the spring 13 is located inside the scanning device body 1. A pressure ring 10 is provided at the connection position between the slider 7 and the scanning device body 1. The pressure ring 10 fits the lower outer contour of the slider 7. The pressure ring 10 is connected to the scanning device body 1 by threaded connection. The slider 7 can rotate inside the scanning device body 1.

[0048] Preferably, the slider 7 is located inside the upper rear side and the inner sides of the left and right ends of the scanning device body 1, and its upper and lower sides are respectively in contact with the ferrule 11 and the pressure ring 10. The ferrule 11 is connected to the spring 13 through the connecting post 12, the end of the spring 13 is fixed inside the scanning device body 1, and the pressure ring 10 is fixed to the scanning device body 1 by a threaded connection.

[0049] When the user holds the handle 2 and moves the scanning device body 1 to perform a scanning operation on goods with RFID tags, the scanning device body 1 is subjected to external force. Since the slider 7 can rotate inside the scanning device body 1, and with the coordinated cooperation of the sleeve 11, spring 13 and pressure ring 10, the slider 7 can roll and rotate flexibly, making the movement of the scanning device body 1 smoother and more fluid.

[0050] During the scanning operation, the rotation of the slider 7 effectively reduces the friction between the scanning device body 1 and the goods, allowing the user to easily control the scanning device body 1 to move on the surface of the goods, and more efficiently complete the scanning and reading of the RFID tag information of the goods. At the same time, the slider 7 and its related components such as the sleeve 11, spring 13, and pressure ring 10 work together to ensure that the scanning device body 1 does not directly contact the goods when moving, avoiding possible scratches, collisions, or other damage to the goods, thus protecting the integrity of the goods while ensuring the smooth operation of the scanning work.

[0051] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
