Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Logistics cargo barcode scanning technology is an indispensable part of modern logistics management. It enables the rapid collection, processing, and tracking of cargo information. Therefore, a cargo information barcode scanning device for a logistics network platform, with publication number CN214151715U, is described. When using this device, the cargo to be scanned is placed directly on the conveyor belt with the barcode facing upwards. As the cargo moves to a position below the scanning probe, the probe scans the cargo barcode. The height of the scanning probe is adjusted according to the size of the cargo, or its horizontal position is adjusted according to the cargo's location. After scanning is complete, the base plate and scanning probe are quickly moved upwards to reset, and normal scanning continues.

[0003] However, existing technology requires manual operation to place the barcode-affixed side of the goods facing upwards. Due to their large size and weight, it is very difficult to manually adjust the position of large goods. For example, in logistics warehouses, some large machinery, furniture and other goods require multiple people to work together to flip or adjust them so that the barcode faces upwards. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems existing in the prior art by proposing a cargo scanning device for logistics.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a logistics cargo scanning device, comprising a base and barcode scanners, wherein three barcode scanners are provided and the scanning heads of the three barcode scanners are arranged in a “┣” shape; a transparent base is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base; a horizontally placed toothed ring is rotatably connected to the surface of the transparent base near the base; a long arm is fixedly installed at the top edge of the toothed surface on the side of the toothed ring; the long arm is L-shaped and a lifting seat is inserted into the vertical side of the long arm; a connecting seat is provided on the side of the lifting seat near the transparent base, and a bracket fixedly connected to the connecting seat is provided through the side of the lifting seat; the three barcode scanners are arranged on the side of the connecting seat.

[0006] Preferably, the vertical side of the long arm is rotatably connected to a lead screw that is longitudinally arranged and threaded through the bottom edge of the lifting seat.

[0007] Preferably, a horizontally arranged electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed on one side of the top edge of the lifting seat, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod extends and retracts along the radial direction of the transparent seat and is fixedly connected to one side of the bracket.

[0008] Preferably, a short arm is fixedly installed on the top edge of the outer tooth surface of the toothed ring away from the long arm. The short arm is arranged in a "┘" shape, and a push block that moves horizontally and is located above the transparent seat is movably installed on the vertical side of the short arm.

[0009] Preferably, a horizontally arranged electric push rod is fixedly installed through the vertical side of the short arm, and the electric push rod extends and retracts toward the radius of the transparent seat and is fixedly connected to the surface of the push block.

[0010] Preferably, a spur gear that meshes with a gear ring is rotatably connected to one side of the upper surface of the base, and a motor for driving the spur gear to rotate is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the base.

[0011] Preferably, the transparent seat is a T-shaped rotating body.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. In this utility model, by rotating the long arm around the transparent base, the barcode scanner can be moved to different directions on the goods on the transparent base. The lifting seat can be used to move the barcode scanner above or below the goods. The horizontal position of the barcode scanner can be adjusted by using the insert bracket to move horizontally within the lifting seat. Thus, the position of the barcode scanner can be adjusted according to the position of the barcode on the goods without moving the goods, thereby realizing barcode scanning.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, the electric push rod extends to push the push block to move, and the push block pushes the goods to move on the surface of the transparent seat. This allows the barcode to be offset to the center of the upper surface of the transparent seat, making it convenient for the upward-facing scanning head to adjust its position by revolution to scan the barcode.

[0020] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0021] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a barcode scanning device for logistics includes a base 1 and barcode scanners 12. The barcode scanners 12 are provided with three scanning heads arranged in a "┣" shape. The scanning head facing upward can scan the barcode located at the bottom of the goods, the scanning head facing downward can scan the barcode located at the top of the goods, and the scanning head in the middle can scan the barcode located on the side of the goods. As the barcode scanners 12 revolve around the goods, they can scan the barcodes on different sides.

[0023] A transparent base 2 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base 1. The transparent base 2 is a T-shaped rotating body. When goods are placed on the surface of the transparent base 2, its transparent material will not affect the scanning gun 12 when it moves to the bottom of the transparent base 2 and uses the upward-facing scanning head to scan the barcode at the bottom. A horizontally placed toothed ring 14 is rotatably connected to the surface of the transparent base 2 near the base 1. A long arm 6 is fixedly mounted on the top edge of the toothed surface of the toothed ring 14. The long arm 6 revolves around the transparent base 2 by driving the toothed ring 14 to rotate. The long arm 6 is L-shaped and a lifting seat 9 is inserted into the vertical side of the long arm 6. A longitudinally arranged lead screw 11 is rotatably connected to the vertical side of the long arm 6 and threaded through the bottom edge of the lifting seat 9. The lead screw is driven by another motor 15 installed on the long arm 6. Rotating screw 11 allows the lifting seat 9 to rise and fall. A connecting seat 10 is provided on the side of the lifting seat 9 near the transparent seat 2, and a bracket 8 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 10 through the side of the lifting seat 9. Three barcode scanners 12 are provided on the side of the connecting seat 10. A horizontally arranged electric telescopic rod 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the top edge of the lifting seat 9. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 7 extends and retracts along the radius of the transparent seat 2 and is fixedly connected to the side of the bracket 8. The lifting seat 9 is used to raise and lower the bracket 8 and the barcode scanners 12 to adjust the height. When the lifting seat 9 is above the goods or below the transparent seat 2, the electric telescopic rod 7 can be retracted to move the bracket 8 and the connecting seat 10 horizontally, so that the barcode scanners 12 can be moved above or below the goods.

[0024] A short arm 3 is fixedly installed on the top edge of the outer tooth surface of the toothed ring 14, away from the long arm 6. The short arm 3 is arranged in a "┘" shape, and a push block 5, which moves horizontally and is located above the transparent base 2, is movably installed on the vertical side of the short arm 3. A horizontally arranged electric push rod 4 is fixedly installed through the vertical side of the short arm 3. The electric push rod 4 extends and retracts in the radial direction of the transparent base 2 and is fixedly connected to the surface of the push block 5. The short arm 3 revolves around the transparent base 2 synchronously with the rotation of the toothed ring 14. Therefore, when the position of the barcode affixed to the goods is directly opposite the center of the upper surface of the transparent base 2, it can... The electric push rod 4 extends to push the push block 5 to move. The push block 5 pushes the goods to move on the surface of the transparent base 2, so that the barcode is offset to the center of the upper surface of the transparent base 2. This makes it convenient for the upward-facing scanning head to adjust its position by revolution to scan the barcode. A spur gear 13 that meshes with the toothed ring 14 is rotatably connected to one side of the upper surface of the base 1. A motor 15 for driving the spur gear 13 to rotate is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the base 1. By using the motor 15 on the base 1 to drive the spur gear 13 to rotate, the meshing toothed ring 14 can be rotated.

[0025] The working principle is as follows: When the goods are placed on the upper surface of the transparent base 2, and the barcode is on the side, the toothed ring 14 rotates, causing the long arm 6 and the short arm 3 to revolve around the transparent base 2 until the barcode scanner 12 moves to the direction of the barcode. Then, the lifting base 9 is raised and lowered by rotating the lead screw 11. The lifting base 9 raises and lowers the insert 8 and the barcode scanner 12 to the same height as the barcode. The scanning head in the middle position can scan the barcode on the side of the goods. When the barcode is on the top surface of the goods, the lifting base 9 raises and lowers the barcode scanner 12 to the top of the goods. The electric telescopic rod 7 retracts, allowing the insert 8 to move horizontally to the connecting seat 10, thus moving the barcode scanner 12 to the top of the goods. The downward-facing scanning head can scan the barcode on the top of the goods. When the barcode is on the bottom surface of the goods, the lifting base 9 raises and lowers the barcode scanner 12 to the bottom of the goods. The electric telescopic rod 7 retracts, allowing the insert 8 to move horizontally to the connecting seat 10, thus moving the barcode scanner 12 to the bottom of the goods. The upward-facing scanning head can scan the barcode on the top of the goods.

[0026] Regarding the issue of determining the orientation of barcodes (bottom, top, or side) when goods are placed on transparent seat 2 in this solution, a visual inspection method or a known 3D vision system can be used. This involves installing a 3D camera to capture images of the goods on the workbench from all angles. Through image processing algorithms, the system can identify each facet of the goods and the barcode pattern. The system first constructs a 3D model of the goods and then searches for barcodes on each surface of the model. For example, for irregularly shaped goods, the 3D vision system is better suited to their complex surface structures. It can locate the barcode by analyzing features such as texture and contrast in the image. This method has relatively high requirements for hardware (such as a high-precision 3D camera) and software algorithms, but once established, it can determine the barcode orientation very quickly and accurately, making it suitable for situations requiring rapid processing of large volumes of goods, such as large logistics sorting centers.

[0027] The wiring diagrams of the electric push rod 4, electric telescopic rod 7, and motor 15 in this utility model are common knowledge in the field. Their working principles are known technologies. The appropriate model is selected according to actual use. Therefore, the control method and wiring layout of the electric push rod 4, electric telescopic rod 7, and motor 15 will not be explained in detail.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
