Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary tooling technology for cigarette packaging machines, and in particular to an adjustable QR code reader bracket for cigarette boxes. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the tobacco industry has implemented the "box condition" linkage system, assigning trademark codes during the printing process and linking "box condition" QR codes during the production process. By tracing the production process and supervising the circulation process of cigarette products, the scientific nature of production management is further improved, and the construction of intelligent factories is promoted.
[0003] Specifically, the existing ZB45 packaging machine's QR code reader is installed in the middle of the packaging machine's turret using two separate workstation brackets, which respectively identify and associate the QR codes of the cigarette packs transmitted to the corresponding positions.
[0004] When cigarette companies take on part of the cooperative cigarette business, production adjustments change, requiring simultaneous adjustments to the position and angle of the barcode readers on the two workstation supports. However, the space in the middle of the turret is limited, and adjusting the installation position can easily conflict with the positions of other components. In addition, the split-type supports require more holes to be drilled on the equipment, which also poses a safety risk to the cigarette machine and related equipment. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable QR code reader bracket for cigarette boxes, which solves the problem that the existing split-type workstation brackets are prone to conflict with the positions of other components when adjusting their installation position.
[0006] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means: an adjustable cigarette box QR code reader bracket, including a bracket base, two mounting holes spaced apart on the bracket base, a fixing frame connected to one end of the bracket base, the fixing frame including a fixing part arranged parallel to the bracket base, the fixing part including a first work position bracket and a second work position bracket arranged perpendicular to each other, the first work position bracket and the second work position bracket both being arranged at an obtuse angle to the fixing part.
[0007] Optionally, both the first and second workstation brackets include two parallel mounting plates, each with threaded through holes for fixing the QR code reader for cigarette boxes. Integrating the first and second workstation brackets onto the same reader bracket reduces the number of openings on the equipment compared to conventional separate brackets. Furthermore, the structure of the workstation bracket mounting plate facilitates the installation and removal of the reader.
[0008] Optionally, the mounting hole is a slotted hole. This allows the mounting bracket to slide up and down along the direction of the slotted hole, thereby enabling flexible adjustment of the reader's mounting height.
[0009] Optionally, threaded through holes for installing set screws are also provided on both sides of the mounting hole. The set screw structure enhances the stability of the bracket.
[0010] Optionally, a bending structure is provided between the bracket base and the fixing part. This bending structure ensures that the bracket remains compact after the barcode reader is installed, reducing space requirements and preventing interference with other components.
[0011] Optionally, the fixing part is rotatably connected to the fixing frame. Rotating the fixing frame allows for adjustment of the reader's angle.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. This utility model integrates the existing split barcode reader brackets, combining the first workstation bracket and the second workstation bracket onto the same barcode reader bracket. Compared with conventional split brackets, this reduces the number of openings on the equipment, thus reducing the impact on the safety of equipment with openings. At the same time, the structure of the workstation bracket mounting plate makes it easy to install and remove the barcode reader, and it is very convenient to adjust the height and angle of the barcode reader. It also occupies less space and reduces the possibility of interference with other components.
[0014] 2. The barcode reader bracket of this utility model can be adjusted synchronously at two stations. The integrated barcode reader bracket changes the angle of the bracket at one station, which greatly improves the barcode reader recognition effect. Attached Figure Description

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above-mentioned terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses an adjustable QR code reader bracket for cigarette boxes. It includes a bracket base 1, which is a plate-like structure. Two mounting holes 11 are spaced apart on the bracket base 1, allowing it to be fixed above the packaging machine turret (or turntable) via the mounting holes 11. One end of the bracket base 1 is connected to a fixing frame 2. The fixing frame 2 includes a fixing part 21 parallel to the bracket base 1. The fixing part 21 includes a first station bracket 211 and a second station bracket 212 perpendicularly arranged to each other. Both the first station bracket 211 and the second station bracket 212 are set at an obtuse angle to the fixing part 21. In this embodiment, the obtuse angle is 110°, ensuring that the reader's recognition area is fixed on the lower turret and directly faces the area where the cigarette box QR code passes.
[0023] In this embodiment, both the first workstation bracket 211 and the second workstation bracket 212 include two parallel mounting plates, each with a threaded through hole 12 for fixing the QR code reader for cigarette boxes. The mounting plate structure on the workstation bracket allows for convenient assembly and disassembly of the reader via a threaded connection.
[0024] In this embodiment, the mounting hole 11 is a waist hole. The height position of the encoder can be adjusted by adjusting the bracket along the length of the waist hole. Specifically, the waist hole is an M6 oval-shaped hole with a length of 3cm. Threaded through holes 12 for installing set screws are also provided on both sides of the mounting hole 11. The threaded through holes 12 are M5 threaded holes. The set screws tighten the mounting screws of the bracket base 1 to prevent the mounting screws from loosening, thereby ensuring the stability of the code reader bracket.
[0025] In this embodiment, a bending structure 22 is provided between the bracket base 1 and the fixing part 21. Specifically, the bending structure 22 includes an L-shaped right-angled part and an extension part that bends and extends along one right-angled side of the right-angled part. The setting of the bending structure 22 makes the bracket still compact after the barcode reader is installed, and the barcode reader does not exceed the vertical projection area of the bending structure 22, so that the entire bracket occupies little space and avoids interference with other moving parts.
[0026] In some other embodiments, the fixing part 21 and the fixing frame 2 can also be rotatably connected. Specifically, the top of the fixing part 21 can be connected to the end of the bent structure 22 of the fixing frame 2 by threads, so that the fixing part 21 can drive the two workstation supports to adjust the left and right angle directions.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0028] When installing the barcode reader bracket of this utility model, the bracket is fixed above the turret of the existing ZB45 packaging machine through the mounting hole 11, and the bracket base 1 remains vertical. At this time, the first station bracket 211 and the second station bracket 212 are respectively aligned with the turret track through which the QR code of the cigarette box passes. The barcode reader of the first station bracket 211 is used to pre-read and correct the QR code of the cigarette box, identify whether the QR code is correct, and reject the cigarette boxes with incorrect reading information through the rejection mechanism of the existing packaging machine. The cigarette boxes that have passed the barcode reader of the first station bracket 211 are rotated with the turret track to the barcode reader recognition area of the second station bracket 212. The barcode reader of the second station bracket 212 then associates the QR code information of the cigarette box with the QR code information of the carton at the rear end.
[0029] During this process, the bracket can be adjusted up and down according to the actual situation. This involves loosening the fixing bolts of mounting hole 11 and sliding the bracket base 1 along the length of the hole, thus flexibly adjusting the installation height of the two station readers simultaneously, while also exhibiting good adaptability and stability. Compared to conventional split-type two-station brackets, the bracket of this invention reduces the number of openings on the tobacco machine, saving drilling time, reducing screw usage, and consumables. Furthermore, the first station bracket 211 and the second station bracket 212 share the mounting hole 11 of the bracket base 1, thereby changing the angle of the first station bracket 211 and significantly improving the reader recognition effect of the first station bracket 211.
[0030] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model. Technologies, shapes, and structural parts not described in detail in this utility model are all known technologies.
