Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 The portable cigarette code identification device shown includes a housing 100, inside which the identification device body and a conveyor belt 200 are arranged; wherein, the conveyor belt 200 is arranged below the identification device body.

[0028] like Figure 2As shown, the identification device body includes a mounting bracket 300, a supplementary light 400, an industrial camera 500, and a slider 600; wherein, the industrial camera 500 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 300, and the supplementary light 400 is located at the end of the mounting bracket 300; one end of the slider 600 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 300, and the other end of the slider 600 is slidably connected to the housing 100, for the up and down movement of the identification device body;

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, a partition 700 is also provided inside the housing 100; the partition 700 divides the interior of the housing 100 into a first installation area 800 and a second installation area 900. The identification device body and the conveyor belt 200 are located inside the first installation area 800; a guide wheel 110 is provided inside the second installation area 900. One end of the guide wheel 110 passes through the partition 700 and is used to contact the side wall of the cigarette pack to guide the movement of the cigarette pack.

[0030] Furthermore, an auxiliary wheel (not shown in the figure) that cooperates with the guide wheel 110 is provided inside the first installation area 800. The guide wheel 110 and the auxiliary wheel are arranged opposite each other. The cigarette pack is placed between the guide wheel 110 and the auxiliary wheel. The guide wheel 110 and the auxiliary wheel assist the movement of the cigarette pack, preventing the cigarette pack from rubbing against the inner wall of the box 100 or the partition 700, which would affect the appearance of the cigarette pack.

[0031] The guide wheel 110 and the auxiliary wheel can also limit the movement of the cigarette packs, preventing them from deviating during transmission and affecting the scanning of the cigarette code.

[0032] In this invention, the combination of an industrial camera 500 and a supplementary light 400 enables clear capture of the cigarette codes on cigarette packs under various lighting conditions, achieving rapid and accurate identification. The conveyor belt 200 ensures stable movement of the cigarette packs, and the guide rollers 110 limit their movement, preventing them from veering off course and affecting the detection of the cigarette codes. The portable design of the device makes it easy to move and operate, suitable for use in various situations, such as tobacco sales points and inspection sites.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] This embodiment is a further refinement of Embodiment 1.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a cover plate 111 is provided at the end of the housing 100, and the cover plate 111 is fixedly connected to the housing 100. An opening 112 is provided on the cover plate 111, which is used for the input or output of cigarette packs.

[0036] Furthermore, the cover plate 111 and the housing 100 are fixedly connected by bolts. Specifically, several through holes are provided on the side of the cover plate 111, and mounting holes that mate with the through holes are provided on the housing 100. The through holes and mounting holes are used to install bolts, thereby fixing the cover plate 111 and the housing 100.

[0037] Furthermore, the cover plate 111 is provided with an opening 112, which needs to be adapted to the width of the cigarette pack to ensure that the cigarette pack can enter and exit normally.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, there are two fill lights 400, which are respectively installed at both ends of the mounting bracket 300.

[0039] Furthermore, the supplementary light 400 is tilted downwards to ensure that the light source provided by the supplementary light 400 can illuminate the surface of the cigarette pack, so that the cigarette code of the cigarette pack can be clearly displayed.

[0040] Specifically, the fill lights 400 at both ends of the mounting bracket 300 are positioned opposite each other, and both fill lights 400 are tilted downwards.

[0041] A motor 113 is also installed inside the second installation area 900. The output shaft of the motor 113 extends through the partition 700 to the first installation area 800 and is connected to the conveyor belt 200.

[0042] Furthermore, the motor 113 is fixedly installed in the first installation area 800. The motor 113 drives the conveyor belt 200 to rotate, thereby moving the cigarette pack. After the cigarette pack is moved to the position directly below the industrial camera 500, the motor 113 stops moving under the control of the processor. After the industrial camera 500 completes the acquisition of the cigarette code, the processor controls the conveyor belt 200 to move in the opposite direction.

[0043] A guide rail 114 is also provided on the inner wall of the housing 100, and the guide rail 114 is fixedly connected to the housing 100. A ball screw assembly is provided inside the guide rail 114, and the slider 600 is connected to the ball screw assembly. The slider 600 moves up and down by rotating the ball screw assembly. A drive device 115 is provided on the guide rail 114, and the drive device 115 is used to drive the ball screw assembly to rotate.

[0044] Furthermore, the drive device 115 drives the ball screw assembly to rotate, thereby causing the slider 600 set on the ball screw to move. The movement of the slider 600 causes the industrial camera 500 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the industrial camera 500, so that the industrial camera 500 can capture the cigarette code of the cigarette pack more clearly.

[0045] Furthermore, the drive unit 115 uses existing equipment, such as an electric motor. Figure 2 The placement of the drive unit 115 above the guide rail 114 is only one embodiment; in order to save space, the drive unit 115 can also be placed on the side of the guide rail 114, and a set of helical gears can be used to connect the drive unit 115 and the ball screw assembly.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, a handle 116 is also provided on the top of the case 100. The handle 116 is fixedly connected to the case 100 and is used to facilitate carrying the case 100.

[0047] The working principle of this invention is as follows: During use, the cigarette pack is placed into the housing 100 through the opening 112. The motor 113 drives the conveyor belt 200 to rotate, moving the cigarette pack inwards. When the cigarette pack reaches below the industrial camera 500, the conveyor belt 200 stops rotating. The drive device 115 drives the ball screw assembly to rotate, adjusting the height of the industrial camera 500. With the height adjustment of the industrial camera 500 and the assistance of the supplementary light 400, the industrial camera 500 can clearly capture the cigarette code on the cigarette pack.

[0048] After the cigarette code is captured, motor 113 reverses, driving conveyor belt 200 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby discharging the cigarette pack from inside the box 100, completing the identification process.
