Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of barcode reader equipment technology, specifically to a barcode reader device that is easy to adjust. Background Technology
[0002] Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are key fundamental components of various electronic devices, and their quality plays a decisive role in the overall performance and reliability of these devices. Therefore, rigorous quality inspection is essential during the PCB manufacturing process. Currently, there are various inspection technologies for PCBs, commonly including manual visual inspection, automated optical inspection (AOI), and automated X-ray inspection (AXI).
[0003] During the inspection process, it is often found that a problem with a circuit board cannot be reported in a timely manner, and the defective circuit board cannot be traced. Therefore, a barcode reader is set up on the equipment to read the barcodes or QR codes on the circuit board. This reader is used in conjunction with a defect detection camera to locate the defective circuit board in a timely manner, thereby improving the efficiency of circuit board defect detection.
[0004] In existing defect detection equipment, the barcode reader is typically fixed directly to the equipment frame with bolts. If different models and sizes of products are involved in the production process, meaning the identification code is located in different positions on the product, the barcode reader's fixed position needs to be manually adjusted. This is time-consuming, labor-intensive, troublesome for technicians, reduces work efficiency, and results in poor product versatility.
[0005] In view of this, there is an urgent need for a barcode reader device that is easy to adjust. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model solves the problem using the following technical structure.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] An easily adjustable barcode reader device includes: a frame and a barcode reader mechanism;

The horizontal slide rail is horizontally mounted on the frame, the barcode reader is mounted on the support component, the support component is slidably mounted on the horizontal slide rail, and the drive mechanism is used to drive the support component to slide on the horizontal slide rail.
[0010] Its further feature is that,
[0011] The supporting component includes a first mounting base and a first connector. The first connector is L-shaped, with its vertical portion disposed on the first mounting base and the barcode reader disposed on the horizontal portion of the first connector.
[0012] The vertical portion of the first connector has several evenly distributed circular arc adjustment holes, and the first connector is mounted on the first mounting base by bolts at each circular arc adjustment hole.
[0013] The load-bearing component also includes a vertical slide rail that extends vertically. The first mounting seat is disposed on the vertical slide rail and is provided with a locking screw for locking the first mounting seat onto the vertical slide rail.
[0014] The load-bearing component further includes a second mounting base, which is slidably mounted on a horizontal slide rail, and the vertical slide rail is mounted on the second mounting base.
[0015] The driving mechanism is a lead screw module, and the driving direction of the lead screw module is consistent with the extension direction of the horizontal slide rail. A second connector is provided on the second mounting base, and the second connector is connected to the lead screw module.
[0016] A slotted optocoupler is provided on the horizontal slide rail, and a photoelectric baffle adapted to the slotted optocoupler is provided on the second mounting base.
[0017] The barcode reader mechanism has two components, and the two horizontal slide rails are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction.
[0018] The frame is gantry-shaped.
[0019] Several mounting holes are provided on both sides of the bottom of the frame.
[0020] The above-described structure of this utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0027] It should be noted that the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification, claims and accompanying drawings of this utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, apparatus, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such processes, methods, products or devices.
[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0029] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The illustrated easy-to-adjust barcode reader device includes: a frame 1 and a barcode reader mechanism; the barcode reader mechanism includes a support component, a barcode reader 2, a horizontal slide rail 3, and a drive mechanism (not shown in the drawings). The horizontal slide rail 3 is horizontally mounted on the frame 1, and the barcode reader 2 is mounted on the support component. The support component is slidably mounted on the horizontal slide rail 3. The drive mechanism is used to drive the support component to slide on the horizontal slide rail 3. Thus, in use, the frame 1 is installed on the production line, and the barcode reader 2 reads the identification codes of the products on the production line from top to bottom. When the identification codes of different products are in different positions, the drive mechanism drives the support component to slide on the horizontal slide rail 3 to adjust the horizontal position of the barcode reader 2 until it matches the position of the product's identification code. No manual adjustment is required, which is convenient and quick.
[0030] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in order to achieve stable installation of the barcode reader 2, the supporting component includes a first mounting base 4 and a first connector 5. The first connector 5 is L-shaped, with the vertical part of the first connector 5 disposed on the first mounting base 4 and the barcode reader 2 disposed on the horizontal part of the first connector 5. Since the first connector 5 is L-shaped, the contact area between the first connector 5 and the barcode reader 2 and the first mounting base 4 is relatively large, allowing for multiple sets of mounting bolts to be installed, thereby improving installation stability.
[0031] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the vertical portion of the first connector 5 has several evenly distributed circular arc adjustment holes 51. All the evenly distributed circular arc adjustment holes 51 are on the same circumference. The first connector 5 is mounted on the first mounting base 4 by bolts at each of the circular arc adjustment holes 51. Thus, by turning the bolts at the circular arc adjustment holes 51, the first connector 5 can be made to move. At this time, the first connector 5 can be rotated on the first mounting base 4 to adjust the angle between the barcode reader 2 and the horizontal plane, thereby adjusting the recognition angle of the barcode reader 2.
[0032] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the supporting component also includes a vertical slide rail 6, which extends vertically. A first mounting base 4 is disposed on the vertical slide rail 6, and a locking screw 41 is provided on the first mounting base 4 to lock the first mounting base 4 onto the vertical slide rail 6. Thus, by sliding the first mounting base 4 on the vertical slide rail 6, the horizontal height of the first mounting base 4 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the barcode reader 2 and further improving the versatility of the product. Since the locking screw 41 is threadedly connected to the first mounting base 4, and one end of the locking screw 41 extends to the vertical slide rail 6, turning the locking screw 41 can cause the end of the locking screw 41 to abut against the vertical slide rail 6, thereby fixing the first mounting base 4.
[0033] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bearing assembly also includes a second mounting base 7, which is slidably mounted on the horizontal slide rail 3. The vertical slide rail 6 is mounted on the second mounting base 7. Thus, the bearing assembly is mounted on the horizontal slide rail 3 by the second mounting base 7. The drive mechanism can be a lead screw module, which specifically includes a motor, a lead screw, and a nut. The drive direction of the lead screw module is consistent with the extension direction of the horizontal slide rail 3. A second connecting member 71 is provided on the second mounting base 7, and the second connecting member 71 is connected to the nut of the lead screw module. Thus, by driving the lead screw to rotate by the motor, the nut moves axially on the lead screw, thereby driving the second mounting base 7 to move on the horizontal slide rail 3.
[0034] Further optimizations include, for example Figure 2As shown, in order to detect the horizontal movement position of the barcode reader, a slotted optocoupler 31 can be set at a designated position on the horizontal slide rail 3. The second mounting base 7 is provided with a photoelectric baffle adapted to the slotted optocoupler 31. When the photoelectric baffle moves to the detection position of the slotted optocoupler 31, the position of the second mounting base 7 is known, that is, the horizontal position of the barcode reader 2 is known. In actual use, the slotted optocoupler 31 can be set at the extreme position of the movement of the second mounting base 7, or it can be set at the corresponding position for the identification code of a certain product.
[0035] Further optimizations include, for example Figure 1 As shown, in order to improve the reading efficiency, the reader mechanism is set with two horizontal slide rails 3 arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, so that two products can be identified at the same time.
[0036] Further optimizations include, for example Figure 1 As shown, in order to improve the stability of the barcode reader mechanism, the frame 1 is shaped like a gate, and several mounting holes are provided on both sides of the bottom of the frame 1. In this way, by setting the bottom sides of the frame 1 on both sides of the production line, the barcode reader mechanism is stably supported.
[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the frame 1 is installed on the production line, and the barcode reader 2 reads the identification code of the product on the production line from top to bottom. When the identification code of different products is in different positions, the drive mechanism drives the bearing component to slide on the horizontal slide rail 3 to adjust the horizontal position of the barcode reader 2 until it matches the position of the product identification code. No manual adjustment is required, which is convenient and quick.
[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. It is understood that other improvements and variations that can be directly derived or conceived by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and concept of the present invention should be considered to be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
