Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of barcode scanner technology, specifically a barcode scanner with error warning function. Background Technology
[0002] Logistics information is a general term encompassing knowledge, data, images, and documents related to various logistics activities. When goods are transported, logistics information is accessed by scanning a QR code. This QR code is typically scanned using a barcode scanner. Existing barcode scanners are held firmly by the handle and scanned by bringing the end of the scanner close to the surface of the logistics information QR code on the object. This method facilitates quick and direct access to logistics information, is easy to operate, and improves the effectiveness of barcode scanners in scanning logistics information.
[0003] A barcode scanner is a device specifically designed for reading barcodes and QR codes, widely used in retail, logistics, warehousing, and other industries. It scans barcodes using lasers or cameras, quickly inputting product or information into the system, thereby automating data processing and management. The use of barcode scanners significantly improves work efficiency, reduces manual data entry errors, and makes inventory management, sales settlement, and logistics tracking more efficient and convenient. With technological advancements, modern barcode scanners also support wireless connectivity and multiple data formats, further enhancing their application flexibility.
[0004] However, barcode scanners are usually manually held and used for scanning. Working for long periods of time is not only inefficient but also laborious and time-consuming. Furthermore, barcode scanners cannot report errors or provide warnings, which can lead to incorrect products being shipped out, causing negative impacts and reducing work efficiency.

[0030] Example:
[0031] Reference Figure 1-4A barcode scanner with error warning function includes a scanner body 1, an interactive electronic screen 12 mounted on the upper surface of the scanner body 1, a scanner 10 mounted on one side of the scanner body 1, a handle 2 on the lower surface of the scanner body 1, a mounting slot 7 on one side of the handle 2, a fixing plate 9 slidably connected inside the mounting slot 7, and fixing bolts 8 threadedly connected to both ends of one side of the handle 2. One end of the fixing bolt 8 abuts against one side surface of the fixing plate 9. Through the above design, the mounting slot 7 can connect the scanner body 1 to a robotic arm, and then by rotating the fixing bolts 8, the fixing plate 9 can be pushed to squeeze and fix the robotic arm, improving stability. Then, the robotic arm can scan the product barcode using the scanner body 1, improving work efficiency.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A limiting slot 6 is provided inside one side of the mounting slot 7, and a return spring 17 is installed inside one side of the handle 2. A connecting plate 18 is provided at one end of the return spring 17, and a limiting plug 5 corresponding to the limiting slot 6 is provided at one end of the connecting plate 18. Under the elastic force of the return spring 17, it pushes the limiting plug 5 to be inserted into the limiting slot 6 or the limiting plug 5 abuts against the robot arm, thereby improving the stability of the scanner body 1 fixed on the surface of the robot arm.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The inner wall surface of the grip 2 is provided with a limiting groove 3. The upper end of the connecting plate 18 is provided with a pull block 4. The pull block 4 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 3. By pulling the pull block 4 to slide inside the limiting groove 3, the connecting plate 18 compresses the reset spring 17, thereby moving the limiting insert 5 out of the limiting slot 6. At this time, the scanner body 1 can be removed from the robotic arm, improving stability and convenience.
[0034] Reference Figure 1-3 A protective cover 11 is provided on one side of the scanner 10, and a protective cover insert 13 is provided on the upper side of the protective cover 11. A protective cover slot 14 corresponding to the protective cover insert 13 is opened on the upper surface of the scanner body 1. The protective cover insert 13 is inserted into the inside of the protective cover slot 14. The protective cover 11 covers the surface of the scanner 10, thereby protecting it and preventing it from being damaged by collision during use, thus extending the service life of the scanner 10.
[0035] Reference Figure 3The lower end of the protective cover insert 13 is equipped with a magnetic block 2 16, and the interior of the protective cover slot 14 is provided with a magnetic block 15 corresponding to the magnetic block 2 16. Through the magnetic attraction between the magnetic block 15 and the magnetic block 2 16, the stability of the protective cover insert 13 inserted into the protective cover slot 14 is improved, and the protective cover 11 is also convenient to be disassembled and assembled, thus improving convenience.
[0036] Reference Figure 5 The interactive electronic screen 12 can be wirelessly connected to the MES system. Through the connection between the interactive electronic screen 12 and the MES system, the scanning result of the scanner 10 is transmitted to the interactive electronic screen 12, and then the scanned information is identified according to the content of the MES system. If the information is incorrect, an error warning will be issued to remind the staff to handle it in time.
[0037] The implementation principle of the barcode scanner embodiment with error alert function in this application is as follows:
[0038] During use, the scanner body 1 can be connected to the robotic arm via the mounting slot 7. The fixing plate 9 is then pushed by rotating the fixing bolt 8, which presses and fixes the robotic arm, improving stability. The robotic arm then scans the product barcode using the scanner body 1. The scan results from the scanner 10 are transmitted to the interactive electronic screen 12 via the connection with the MES system. The MES system then identifies the scanned information. If the information is incorrect, an error warning is issued, and the robotic arm places the incorrect product in the NG (Not Good) storage area. If the information is correct, the robotic arm places the correct product in the OK (Good) storage area. Furthermore, a protective cover block 13 is inserted into the protective cover slot 14, allowing the protective cover 11 to cover the surface of the scanner 10, protecting it from damage during use and extending its lifespan.
