Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of label sorting equipment, specifically to an anti-counterfeiting label sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern commodity production and distribution, anti-counterfeiting labels are increasingly widely used. As a crucial means of identifying genuine products, the quality and accuracy of anti-counterfeiting labels are paramount. However, during the production process, various factors, such as deviations in printing processes and differences in material quality, result in a certain percentage of substandard products. If these substandard labels enter the market, they will severely impact the anti-counterfeiting effectiveness of goods, causing significant losses to consumers and businesses. Currently, traditional anti-counterfeiting label sorting relies primarily on manual sorting. This method is not only inefficient but also susceptible to human error, leading to low sorting accuracy. Furthermore, manual sorting requires substantial labor costs, increasing production costs for enterprises. With continuous technological advancements, automated sorting equipment has gradually been applied to anti-counterfeiting label sorting. However, existing automated sorting equipment generally suffers from low detection accuracy, low sorting efficiency, and limited functionality, failing to meet the growing demands for anti-counterfeiting label production and sorting. Therefore, developing an efficient, accurate, and fully functional anti-counterfeiting label sorting device is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0030] In the embodiments, by Figure 1-5 Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the anti-counterfeiting label sorting device of this utility model; Figure 2 is a right view of the anti-counterfeiting label sorting device of this utility model; Figure 3 is a top view of the anti-counterfeiting label sorting device of this utility model; Figure 4 is a top sectional view of the anti-counterfeiting label sorting device of this utility model; Figure 5 is a front view of the anti-counterfeiting label sorting device of this utility model, which includes a base 1, a conveyor belt 2, a detection unit 3, a sorting unit 4, and a control unit 5.

[0031] The base 1 serves as a stable support foundation for the entire device, and its bottom is equipped with adjustable support legs 11, which can flexibly adapt to different usage environments.

[0032] The conveyor belt 2 is mounted on the base 1;

[0033] The detection unit 3 includes a visual detection module 31 and a sensor group 32. The visual detection module 31 is arranged directly above the conveyor belt 2, while the sensor group 32 is located on one side of the conveyor belt 2. The two work together to perform all-round detection of the label.

[0034] The sorting unit 4 includes a sorting chute 41 and a sorting cylinder 42. The sorting chute 41 is set at a specific angle on one side of the conveyor belt 2. The sorting cylinder 42 is installed on the side of the sorting chute 41, and its piston rod end is connected to a nozzle 43. Under the command of the control unit 5, the unqualified label is pushed into the sorting chute 41.

[0035] The control unit 5 is connected to the conveyor belt 2, the detection unit 3, and the sorting unit 4 respectively, and the coordinated operation of each component is achieved through precise command transmission and control.

[0036] The visual inspection module 31 includes an industrial camera 311 and a light source 312. The industrial camera 311 is a high-resolution color camera, and the light source 312 adopts a ring-shaped shadowless light source to provide uniform and stable lighting conditions for label inspection.

[0037] The sensor group 32 includes a photoelectric sensor 321 and an infrared sensor 322 disposed on one side of the conveyor belt 2, which are used to detect the label thickness and material information, as well as the label position and movement status.

[0038] Below the sorting chute 41, there is also a collection box 44, which is equipped with a weighing sensor 45. The weighing sensor 45 monitors the weight of the labels in the collection box 44 in real time, which is convenient for subsequent statistics and management.

[0039] The bottom of the support leg 11 is attached with an anti-slip pad 12, which can increase the friction between the support leg 11 and the ground and prevent the device from shifting during operation.

[0040] A qualified label storage box 6 is provided at the exit of the conveyor belt 2.

[0041] The control unit 5 is equipped with a wireless communication module 51 to enable remote monitoring and control of the device.

[0042] The specific working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0043] In practical applications, firstly, based on the height requirements of the usage environment, the support feet 11 at the bottom of the base 1 are adjusted to make the device horizontal and stable. The anti-slip pad 12 increases the friction between the support feet 11 and the ground, ensuring that the device will not shift during operation.

[0044] The anti-counterfeiting labels to be sorted are placed on conveyor belt 2. Conveyor belt 2, under the control of control unit 5, begins operation, conveying the labels to the area below detection unit 3. Under uniform and stable illumination provided by the ring-shaped shadowless light source 312, the industrial camera 311 in the vision inspection module 31 acquires images of the labels. The high-resolution color industrial camera 311 can clearly capture various details on the labels. Simultaneously, the photoelectric sensor 321 and infrared sensor 322 in the sensor group 32 detect the thickness, material information, position, and movement of the labels in real time. Detection unit 3 transmits the acquired data to control unit 5.

[0045] The control unit 5 analyzes and processes the data transmitted from the detection unit 3 to determine whether the label is qualified. If the label is determined to be unqualified, the control unit 5 immediately sends a command to the sorting unit 4, the piston rod of the sorting cylinder 42 extends, and the nozzle 43 pushes the unqualified label into the sorting chute 41. The unqualified label falls along the sorting chute 41 into the collection box 44 below. The weighing sensor 45 in the collection box 44 monitors the weight of the labels in the collection box 44 in real time and feeds the data back to the control unit 5 so that the operator can know the number of unqualified labels.

[0046] The labels that pass the inspection continue to run along the conveyor belt 2 to the exit and fall into the qualified label storage box 6.

[0047] Operators can remotely monitor and control the device via the built-in wireless communication module 51 of the control unit 5. For example, when it is found that the detection accuracy or sorting efficiency needs to be adjusted, instructions can be sent to the control unit 5 through a remote device. The control unit 5 will then adjust the running speed of the conveyor belt 2, the detection parameters of the detection unit 3, and the action parameters of the sorting unit 4 accordingly to meet different production needs.

[0048] In summary, this invention, through the coordinated operation of a visual inspection module and a sensor array, enables comprehensive and high-precision detection of anti-counterfeiting labels, effectively improving sorting accuracy. The automated sorting method significantly increases sorting efficiency and reduces labor costs. The control unit incorporates a wireless communication module, enabling remote monitoring and control, allowing operators to adjust and manage the device according to actual conditions, thus enhancing the equipment's intelligence level. A weighing sensor is installed in the collection box located below the sorting chute, enabling real-time monitoring of the label weight within the box. This facilitates the statistical analysis and management of defective labels, providing data support for subsequent production improvements. Adjustable height feet and anti-slip pads at the base allow the device to adapt to different operating environments, improving its stability and reliability.

[0049] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
