Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of scanning equipment technology, specifically a warehouse inventory management scanning device. Background Technology

[0002] Warehouse inventory management scanning equipment is a specialized tool for efficiently tracking, recording, and managing inventory. It mainly includes barcode scanners, RFID readers, and mobile data terminals. These devices quickly identify product labels (such as barcodes or electronic tags), collect data in real time, and synchronize it to the inventory management system, enabling accurate inbound, outbound, inventory counting, and transfer operations.

[0003] In existing technologies, fixed scanners are used to quickly identify product labels when scanning items for outbound shipment from a warehouse. However, when encountering irregular mechanical parts, labels may be affixed to the side or corner, making them easily obstructed by sharp edges during fixed-angle scanning. This hinders the scanner's ability to correctly identify barcodes or QR codes, thus affecting the entire outbound process. Therefore, we propose a warehouse inventory management scanning device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a warehouse inventory management scanning device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art: when scanning items in the warehouse for outbound shipment, a fixed scanner is used to quickly identify product labels. However, when encountering irregular mechanical parts, the labels may be pasted on the side or corner, and the fixed-angle scanning is easily blocked by the sharp corners, making it difficult for the scanner to correctly identify barcodes or QR codes, thus affecting the entire shipment process.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a warehouse inventory management scanning device, comprising: a base plate, a horizontal pull frame fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate, an adjustment mechanism provided at the bottom of the horizontal pull frame, a lifting mechanism provided at one end of the base plate, and a scanner fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal pull frame.

[0006] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes a connecting plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal pull frame, the outer wall of the connecting plate is provided with a sliding groove, and a fixing plate is placed at one end of the connecting plate.

[0007] Preferably, a sliding column is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing plate, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing plate, and a cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing block.

[0008] Preferably, the driving end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to an outer frame, the bottom of the horizontal pull frame is fixedly connected to a fixed column, and the outer wall of the fixed column is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer frame through a movable column.

[0009] Preferably, a movable plate is slidably connected to one end of the fixed plate, a first base is fixedly connected to one end of the movable plate, and a marking stamp is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a second base fixedly connected to the upper surface of the U-shaped plate, the outer wall of the second base has a groove, and a motor is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the second base.

[0011] Preferably, the drive end of the motor is fixedly connected to a lead screw, the outer wall of the lead screw is threadedly connected to a limit block, one end of the limit block is fixedly connected to a lifting plate, and one end of the lifting plate is fixedly connected to a fixed plate.

[0012] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] (1) The scanning angle can be adjusted according to the position, angle and size of different items through the adjustment mechanism, providing greater flexibility. Users do not need to manually adjust the items, but only need to adjust the angle of the scanner to ensure that the barcode or QR code is in the best scanning position. This design can greatly reduce scanning failures caused by inaccurate item position. In the warehouse environment, when the items are stacked irregularly or the space is narrow, the scanner angle can be freely adjusted to ensure that scanning can be carried out smoothly in different warehouse environments.

[0014] (2) By setting up a lifting mechanism, when operators make mistakes due to being busy, tired or negligent, resulting in messy records or inaccurate item tracking, the lifting mark stamp reduces manual intervention and avoids the problems of missing, mismarking or duplicate marking caused by manual operation. It also solves the problem that the same item may be scanned multiple times due to negligence or improper operation by the operator. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model 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 utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a warehouse inventory management scanning device, comprising: a base plate 1, a horizontal pull frame 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 1, an adjustment mechanism 3 provided at the bottom of the horizontal pull frame 2, a lifting mechanism 7 provided at one end of the base plate 1, a scanner 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal pull frame 2, the adjustment mechanism 3 including a connecting plate 31 fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal pull frame 2, a sliding groove 32 formed on the outer wall of the connecting plate 31, a fixing plate 33 placed at one end of the connecting plate 31, and a fixed connection at one end of the fixing plate 33. The fixed plate 33 has a sliding column 39, a fixed block 34 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed plate 33, a cylinder 35 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed block 34, an outer frame 36 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the cylinder 35, a fixed column 37 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal pull frame 2, and the outer wall of the fixed column 37 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer frame 36 through a movable column 38. A movable plate 5 is slidably connected to one end of the fixed plate 33, a first base 51 is fixedly connected to one end of the movable plate 5, and a marking stamp 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 33.

[0022] When the angle of the scanner 4 needs to be adjusted, the operator starts the cylinder 35. The drive end of the cylinder 35 extends and retracts, which causes the outer frame 36 on the drive end of the cylinder 35 to rotate on the fixed column 37. This causes the connecting plate 31 on the fixed column 37 to rotate, which in turn causes the slide 32 to move on the outer wall of the slide column 39. When the drive end of the cylinder 35 retracts, the slide 32 will move to the other end of the slide column 39, achieving a back-and-forth swinging effect, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the angle.

[0023] The adjustable mechanism 3 allows for adjustment of the scanning angle based on the position, angle, and size of different items, providing greater flexibility. Users do not need to manually adjust the items; they only need to adjust the angle of the scanner 4 to ensure that the barcode or QR code is in the optimal scanning position. This design can greatly reduce scanning failures caused by inaccurate item positioning. In warehouse environments, when items are stacked irregularly or in narrow spaces, the angle of the scanner 4 can be freely adjusted to ensure smooth scanning in different warehouse environments.

[0024] The lifting mechanism 7 includes a second base 71 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the U-shaped plate 6. The outer wall of the second base 71 has a groove 72. A motor 73 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the second base 71. A lead screw 74 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 73. A limit block 75 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 74. A lifting plate 76 is fixedly connected to one end of the limit block 75, and one end of the lifting plate 76 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 33.

[0025] When items need to be marked, the operator starts motor 73, which drives lead screw 74 to rotate. The limiting block 75 on the outer wall of lead screw 74, limited by groove 72, allows the limiting block 75 to move back and forth, thereby driving the fixed plate 33 on lifting plate 76 to move back and forth, which in turn drives the marking stamp 8 to move back and forth, achieving the effect of raising and lowering the marking stamp 8. Through the lifting mechanism 7, when errors occur due to operator busyness, fatigue, or negligence, leading to chaotic recording or inaccurate item tracking, the raiseable marking stamp 8 reduces manual intervention, avoiding problems such as missed, incorrect, or duplicate markings caused by manual operation. It also solves the problem that the same item might be scanned multiple times due to operator negligence or improper operation.
