Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics cargo scanning technology, and in particular to a lifting logistics cargo scanning device. Background Technology

[0002] Cargo scanning is a core component of modern logistics management, requiring the use of high-precision scanners or fixed industrial scanning equipment to capture information such as text, barcodes, and QR codes on waybills. Cargo scanning can process a large number of packages in a short time, avoiding the inefficiency and errors of manual sorting. It is particularly suitable for high-throughput scenarios such as e-commerce and express delivery. Furthermore, after the scanned data is uploaded to the system in real time, customers can check the status of their goods at any time (such as transportation location and estimated arrival time), improving customer service experience and optimizing internal business processes.

[0003] Currently, most logistics cargo scanning devices use fixed-height scanners to statically scan goods on conveyor belts, such as the scanning and sorting device for logistics goods disclosed in prior art (CN219424965U). However, this prior art has the following problems in practical use: it cannot automatically adjust the scanning height according to the height of the goods, easily leading to excessive distance between the scanner and small items, resulting in insufficient scanning accuracy. Therefore, this utility model proposes a lifting-type logistics cargo scanning device. Utility Model Content

[0035] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the description of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0036] This utility model provides a lifting-type logistics cargo scanning device, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 7 As shown, the system includes a conveyor 1, with a housing 2 fixed to its top. A lifting scanning assembly 3 is provided on one side of the top of the housing 2 for scanning waybills on the top surface of goods. Specifically, the lifting scanning assembly 3 includes a movable plate 31, with a first scanner 32 and multiple distance sensors 33 fixed to the bottom of the movable plate 31. The distance sensors 33 are located on one side of the first scanner 32. The movable plate 31, the first scanner 32, and the distance sensors 33 are all located inside the housing 2. An electric push rod 34 is fixed to the top of the movable plate 31 and is fixed to the top of the housing 2 for driving the first scanner 32 to rise and fall, so as to control the distance between the first scanner 32 and the goods.

[0037] The device has a controller fixed at the front end of the housing 2. The controller can be an Atmel Cortex-M series microcontroller, which adopts the global microcontroller standard and is an ideal choice for home automation, consumer, smart metering and industrial applications.

[0038] The distance sensor 33 of the lifting scanning assembly 3 is connected to the input end of the controller, and the detection distance of the distance sensor 33 is set, such as 5cm. The electric push rod 34 and the first scanner 32 are connected to the output end of the controller.

[0039] Next, a through-hole 6 is provided at the front end of the outer shell 2, and an opening 11 is provided at the front end of the frame of the conveyor 1. The opening 11 communicates with the through-hole 6. A conveyor 2 8 is provided at the through-hole 6 on the front side of the conveyor 1, and a conveyor 4 10 is provided at the end of the conveyor 2 8 away from the conveyor 1.

[0040] The front side of the conveyor frame 1 is provided with a guide assembly 7, which includes an arc-shaped plate 71 located on the front side of the conveyor 1. The size of the arc-shaped plate 71 is adapted to the size of the opening 11. The front end of the conveyor frame 1 is provided with a drive assembly for driving one end of the arc-shaped plate 71 to rotate. This utility model exemplifies a drive assembly structure: the drive assembly includes a motor, which is fixed to the front side of the conveyor frame 1. The output shaft of the motor is fixed to one end of the arc-shaped plate 71, and the motor is connected to the output end of the controller.

[0041] In use, the personnel place the goods to be scanned on the conveyor 1 with the waybill side facing up. When the goods are conveyed to the bottom of the lifting scanning component 3, the distance sensor 33 first detects the actual distance between the lifting scanning component 3 and the goods. If the actual distance is greater than the initial distance set by the distance sensor 33, that is, the actual distance is greater than 5cm, the controller controls the electric push rod 34 to drive the movable plate 31 to descend, thereby driving the first scanner 32 to descend to shorten the distance between the first scanner 32 and the waybill, and improve the accuracy of the first scanner 32 in scanning the waybill.

[0042] After the goods are successfully scanned by the lifting scanning component 3, the controller starts the motor to drive the arc plate 71 to rotate into the conveyor belt 1. Figure 7 As shown, at this time, the arc plate 71 blocks the goods from continuing to move forward, so that the goods are guided by the arc plate 71 and transported to the second conveyor 8 through the opening 11 and the passage 6. Then the second conveyor 8 transports the goods to the fourth conveyor 10, and finally the fourth conveyor 10 transports the goods out.

[0043] When the goods are heavy, it is difficult for personnel to flip them over so that the waybill is facing up if the waybill is facing down or to the side. Therefore, if Figure 2 one Figure 6 As shown, the present invention has a side scanning component on the rear side of the outer shell 2. The structure of the side scanning component is the same as that of the lifting scanning component 3. The side scanning component is located between the opening 6 and the lifting scanning component 3 and is used to scan the side waybill of the goods.

[0044] Furthermore, the movable plate 31, the first scanner 32, and the distance sensor 33 in the side scanning assembly are all located inside the rear side of the housing 2. The electric push rod 34 is fixed to the rear end of the housing 2. The distance sensor 33 of the side scanning assembly is connected to the input end of the controller, and the detection distance of the distance sensor 33 is set, such as 5cm. The electric push rod 34 and the first scanner 32 of the side scanning assembly are connected to the output end of the controller.

[0045] The present invention also provides a bottom scanning component 4 on the other side inside the conveyor 1 for scanning the waybill on the bottom of the goods. The opening 6 is located between the lifting scanning component 3 and the bottom scanning component 4. The conveyor 1 is provided with a conveyor 3 9 on the side of the conveyor 1 close to the bottom scanning component 4. The conveyor 4 10 is located at the end of the conveyor 2 8 away from the conveyor 1.

[0046] Specifically, the bottom scanning assembly 4 includes a fixing plate 41 fixed inside the housing 2. A second scanner 42 and multiple distance sensors 43 are fixed to the top of the fixing plate 41. The distance sensors 43 are located on one side of the second scanner 42. The second scanner 42 is connected to the output end of the controller, and the distance sensors 43 are connected to the input end of the controller. The detection distance of the distance sensors 43 is set, such as 5cm.

[0047] Next, a gripping assembly 5 for gripping goods is provided inside the outer shell 2; the gripping assembly 5 includes a linear module 51 fixed to the top of the inner shell 2, an electric cylinder 52 fixed on the linear module 51, and a vacuum suction cup 53 fixed to the piston rod end of the electric cylinder 52. The linear module 51 and the electric cylinder 52 are both connected to the output end of the controller.

[0048] In actual use, the vacuum suction cup 53 is connected to a vacuum pump, which is connected to the output end of the controller. A photoelectric sensor for detecting goods is installed at the bottom of the vacuum suction cup 53 (the photoelectric sensor determines the passage of an item by emitting a light beam and detecting whether the light is blocked or reflected by an object). The photoelectric sensor is connected to the input end of the controller.

[0049] When the goods are heavy and personnel cannot flip the waybill face up, the scanning operation is as follows:

[0050] 1. When the waybill is on the side of the goods, the personnel turn the waybill horizontally to face the side scanning component (horizontal flipping is easier than vertical flipping). Then the goods are transported to the front of the side scanning component. The distance sensor 33 of the side scanning component first detects the actual distance between it and the goods. If the actual distance is greater than the initial set distance of the distance sensor 33, that is, the actual distance is greater than 5cm, the controller controls the electric push rod 34 to drive the movable plate 31 to move, which drives the first scanner 32 to move closer to the goods to shorten the distance between the first scanner 32 and the waybill, thereby improving the accuracy of the first scanner 32 in scanning the waybill.

[0051] After the goods are successfully scanned by the side scanning component, the controller starts the motor to drive the arc plate 71 to rotate into the conveyor belt 1. Figure 7 As shown, at this point, the arc-shaped plate 71 blocks the goods from moving forward, allowing the goods to be guided by the arc-shaped plate 71 and conveyed through the opening 11 and the passage 6 to the second conveyor 8. Then, the second conveyor 8 conveys the goods to the fourth conveyor 10, and finally, the fourth conveyor 10 conveys the goods out.

[0052] 2. When the waybill is on the bottom of the goods, the controller starts the motor to drive the arc plate 71 to rotate into the opening 11 without blocking the goods. When the goods pass through the gripping component 5, the photoelectric sensor detects the goods, indicating that the goods are under the vacuum suction cup 53. Then the controller starts the electric cylinder 52 and the vacuum pump. The electric cylinder 52 drives the vacuum suction cup 53 to descend so that the vacuum suction cup 53 contacts the goods. The vacuum pump creates a vacuum environment inside the vacuum suction cup 53 to adsorb and fix the goods. Then the electric cylinder 52 drives the vacuum suction cup 53 to move up and lift the goods. Then the linear module 51 drives the electric cylinder 52 and the vacuum suction cup 53 to move, moving the goods to the left to the top of the bottom scanning component 4. At this time, the waybill at the bottom of the goods faces the bottom scanning component 4.

[0053] Next, when the distance sensor 43 detects that the actual distance between the bottom scanning component 4 and the goods is greater than the initial distance set by the distance sensor 43, that is, the actual distance is greater than 5cm, the controller controls the electric cylinder 52 to drive the vacuum suction cup 53 to descend, thereby lowering the goods to shorten the distance between the second scanner 42 and the waybill, improve the accuracy of the second scanner 42 in scanning the waybill, and at the same time reduce the difficulty and labor intensity of personnel flipping the goods.

[0054] After the goods are successfully scanned, the gripping component 5 places the goods on conveyor 1, then the goods are transported to conveyor 9, then conveyor 9 transports the goods to conveyor 10, and finally conveyor 10 transports the goods out.

[0055] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
