Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of product identification technology, and in particular to an online product coding device. Background Technology

[0002] Product coding refers to the process of printing, affixing, or engraving specific identification information onto products to facilitate identification, tracking, and management. This identification information typically includes barcodes, QR codes, serial numbers, production dates, batch numbers, etc. Product coding plays a crucial role in modern manufacturing and distribution processes. In modern manufacturing and logistics industries, product coding is a vital step in achieving product traceability, inventory management, and sales analysis. Traditional coding methods primarily rely on manual operation, with workers manually recording barcodes, QR codes, or other identification information onto products. While this method can meet the needs of small-scale production, it reveals many shortcomings in large-scale production environments.

[0003] The inefficiency of manual coding is a significant problem. As production scales up, the time and labor costs required for manual coding increase dramatically, making it difficult to meet the demands of rapid production. This not only prolongs the production cycle but can also lead to bottlenecks in the production line, thus impacting overall production efficiency. Secondly, manual coding is prone to errors. Due to the limited attention span and operational flexibility of humans, errors are easily made during manual recording, including miscopying, omissions, or unclear information. These errors not only affect product traceability but can also cause chaos in subsequent logistics and sales processes, increasing management costs for enterprises. Therefore, existing manual coding methods can no longer meet the needs of modern production and management, and there is an urgent need for an efficient, accurate, and automated online coding technology to improve production efficiency, reduce error rates, and ensure the real-time nature and consistency of information.

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an online coding device for products to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an online coding device for products to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an online product coding device, comprising a conveyor belt body, wherein a coding mechanism for automatically coding products online is provided on one side of the conveyor belt body;

[0007] The coding mechanism includes an L-shaped mounting plate fixedly installed on one side of the conveyor belt body. A motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate. The output end of the motor passes through the mounting plate and is connected to a rotating column. Vertical plates are symmetrically rotatably connected to the outer side of the rotating column. A cam is fixedly installed on the outer side of the center of the rotating column. A connecting column is connected to one side of each vertical plate. A moving plate is slidably connected to the outer side of the connecting column. A groove for the connecting column to enter is opened in the moving plate. A square plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of each vertical plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a connecting plate is fixedly installed between the two moving plates, and an inkjet printer is also provided between the two connecting plates. One end of a spring is connected to one side of the square plate, and the other end of the spring is connected to the connecting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a mounting block is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting plate, and rollers for contacting the cam are installed between the mounting blocks.

[0010] Furthermore, both sides of the conveyor belt body are provided with fixing mechanisms for fixing the products. The fixing mechanisms include a first fixing plate and a second fixing plate that are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the conveyor belt body.

[0011] Furthermore, a first cylinder is fixedly installed on one side of the first fixing plate, and a first clamping plate is connected to the telescopic end of the first cylinder. The second fixing plate is installed on the top of the mounting plate, and a second cylinder is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate, and a second clamping plate is connected to the telescopic end of the second cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, a controller is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention utilizes a coding mechanism. A motor drives a rotating column, which in turn moves a cam. The cam contacts a roller, pushing a connecting plate forward. A spring is stretched, and as the rotation continues, the cam stops contacting the roller, allowing the spring to return to its original shape and pull the connecting plate back. This allows for rapid and continuous coding of a large number of products, significantly improving production line efficiency. This automated coding method completes coding tasks quickly, reducing manual operation time and minimizing human errors such as transcription mistakes or missing information. Automated coding ensures that each product accurately receives the required marking information. A fixing mechanism secures the product, preventing movement and coding errors during the coding process. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The connection method can be any existing method, such as bonding, welding, or bolting, depending on the actual needs.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 3As shown, an online coding device for products includes a conveyor belt body 2, and a controller 22 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 4. The controller 22 is electrically connected to the motor 10, the conveyor belt body 2, the first cylinder 8 and the second cylinder 14. The start and stop of the conveyor belt body 1, the motor 10, the first cylinder 8 and the second cylinder 14 are all controlled by the controller 22.

[0026] A coding mechanism 1 for automatically coding products online is provided on one side of the conveyor belt body 2. The coding mechanism 1 includes a mounting plate 4 fixedly installed on one side of the conveyor belt body 2. The mounting plate 4 is L-shaped. A motor 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 4. The output end of the motor 10 passes through the mounting plate 4 and is connected to a rotating column 13. A vertical plate 5 is symmetrically rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating column 13. The end of the rotating column 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the vertical plate 5. A cam 20 is fixedly installed on the outside of the center of the rotating column 13. When the cam 20 rotates, the protruding part will not collide with the mounting plate 4. A connecting column 17 is connected to one side of a single vertical plate 5. A moving plate 11 is slidably connected to the outside of the connecting column 17. The inner part of the plate 11 has a groove for the connecting column 17 to enter. A square plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of a single vertical plate 5. A connecting plate 12 is fixedly installed between the two moving plates 11. A coding machine 6 is also installed between the two connecting plates 12. The coding machine 6 is an existing device, and its working principle will not be described in detail here. One end of a spring 16 is connected to one side of the square plate, and the other end of the spring 16 is connected to the connecting plate 12. An mounting block 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting plate 12. A roller 19 for contacting the cam 20 is installed between the mounting blocks 18. The motor 10 drives the rotating column 13 to rotate, thereby causing the cam 20 to contact the roller 19, thereby pushing the connecting plate 12 out, so that the coding machine 6 can code the product.

[0027] Both sides of the conveyor belt body 2 are provided with fixing mechanisms 3 for fixing products. The fixing mechanism 3 includes a first fixing plate 7 and a second fixing plate 21 symmetrically fixed on both sides of the conveyor belt body 2. A first cylinder 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the first fixing plate 7. The telescopic end of the first cylinder 8 is connected to a first clamping plate 9. The second fixing plate 21 is installed on the top of the mounting plate 4. When the first clamping plate 9 and the second clamping plate 15 are closed, they will not affect the operation of the conveyor belt body 1. A second cylinder 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting plate 4. The telescopic end of the second cylinder 14 is connected to the second clamping plate 15. The first cylinder 8 and the second cylinder 14 work simultaneously, thereby closing the two clamping plates and fixing the product.

[0028] The motor 10, the first cylinder 8, the second cylinder 14, and the conveyor belt body 1 are all existing technologies. Their working principles, dimensions, and models are irrelevant to the problem solved by this application, so they will not be described in detail. The control method of this utility model is controlled by the controller 22. The control circuit of the controller 22 can be implemented by those skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.

[0029] Working principle: The conveyor belt body 2 transports the product to the fixing mechanism 3. Then, the controller 22 starts the first cylinder 8 and the second cylinder 14, which simultaneously push the first clamping plate 9 and the second clamping plate 15 to fix the product. At this time, the conveyor belt body 2 stops working. Then, the controller 22 starts the motor 10 at the bottom of the mounting plate 4, which drives the rotating column 13 to rotate. The rotating column 13 rotates on the upright plate 5, which in turn drives the cam 20 to rotate. The cam 20 then abuts the roller 19 between the mounting blocks 18, which in turn pushes the connecting plate 12 between the moving plates 11 to move. As a result, the spring 16 is stretched, and the inkjet printer 6 performs inkjet printing on the product. After completion, the fixing mechanism 3 is released, the conveyor belt body 2 transports the product away, the spring 16 returns to its original shape, and the connecting column 17 enters the moving plate 11.
