[0001] This utility model relates to the field of encoder mounting technology, and in particular to a bracket. Background Technology

[0002] According to the latest cigarette requirements, both finished boxed and carton cigarettes must have a unique QR code for traceability and product flow control. Therefore, QR code encoders need to be installed on each cigarette machine to enable QR code input. However, when installing QR code equipment, space constraints may cause the encoder to need to be suspended, making it inconvenient to fix the encoder in place, thus hindering the quick and efficient completion of QR code input.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a scaffold and solutions to the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a bracket that can fix the encoder working in the air, thereby ensuring the stability of the encoding work, completing the corresponding process without affecting the operation of the original equipment, and improving work efficiency.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A stent, comprising:

[0007] The main body is set on the supporting surface;

[0009] A locking structure is provided on the body, and the locking structure includes a first locking member and a second locking member. The first locking member and the second locking member can be connected to an external base to fix the body to the support surface.

[0010] As an alternative to the aforementioned bracket, the first locking member and the second locking member are positioned opposite each other, and a locking gap is provided between the first locking member and the second locking member, so that the locking part of the base can extend into the locking gap.

[0011] As an optional solution for the above-mentioned bracket, both the first locking member and the second locking member are provided with locking holes.

[0013] As an optional solution for the aforementioned bracket, the locking structure is provided on both sides of the body along the width direction.

[0014] As an alternative to the aforementioned bracket, the locking structure is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the body width direction.

[0015] As an optional solution for the aforementioned bracket, the locking structure is integrally formed with the body.

[0016] As an alternative to the aforementioned bracket, the connecting key and the body are integrally formed.

[0017] As an alternative to the aforementioned bracket, the end of the connecting key away from the body is provided with a guide slope.

[0018] As an alternative to the aforementioned bracket, the side of the body facing away from the connecting key has a hollow structure.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0030] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0031] This embodiment provides a support, such as Figure 1As shown, the bracket includes a body 10, a connecting key 20, and a locking structure 30. The body 10 is disposed on the support surface. The connecting key 20 is disposed on the side of the body 10 away from the support surface and protrudes from the body 10. The connecting key 20 is used to connect an encoder. The locking structure 30 is disposed on the body 10 and includes a first locking member 31 and a second locking member 32. The first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 can be connected to an external base to fix the body 10 to the support surface.

[0032] The locking structure 30 connects the bracket to the external base, thereby improving the stability of the structure. The first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 improve the ease of locking, while the supporting surface provides good support, ensuring the bracket is fixed and will not wobble. The connecting key 20 of the body 10 connects to the encoder, thereby indirectly fixing the encoder. The stability of the bracket is ensured, and thus the stability of the encoder during the encoding process is also guaranteed.

[0033] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are arranged opposite each other, and a locking gap 33 is provided between the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32, allowing the locking part of the base to extend into the locking gap 33. This structure further improves the ease of connection between the locking structure 30 and the base, thereby improving work efficiency and user experience.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As mentioned above, both the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 have locking holes 34. When the locking part extends into the locking gap 33, the fastener can pass through the locking hole 34 and the locking gap 33 to securely connect the body 10 to the base. This structure not only ensures the ease of connection but also further improves the stability of the connection between the locking structure 30 and the base. The fastener ensures that the locking part will not come out of the locking gap 33, thereby ensuring the stability of the coding operation.

[0035] It should be noted that the locking holes 34 on the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are also aligned. Therefore, when connection is required, the fastener first passes through the locking hole 34 of the first locking member 31, then through the locking part within the locking gap 33, and finally through the locking hole 34 of the second locking member 32, thereby completing the locking operation. Furthermore, the fastener can be a screw structure or a combination of bolt and nut, as long as ease of use and connection stability are guaranteed; no other limitations are imposed in this embodiment.

[0036] like Figure 1As shown, the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are arranged in parallel, and the bottom surfaces of the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are flush with the side of the body 10 away from the connecting key 20, and both can abut against the support surface. That is, in this structure, when the body 10 is placed on the support surface, the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 can simultaneously contact the support surface, so that the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 can not only play a locking role, but also play a good supporting role together with the body 10, thereby further improving the stability of the bracket.

[0037] To further ensure the stability of the connection between the bracket and the base, such as Figure 1 As shown, locking structures 30 are provided on both sides of the body 10 along the width direction. This arrangement ensures that both sides of the body 10 are fixed during the operation of the encoder, preventing the bracket from swaying left and right, thereby further improving the stability of the encoder.

[0038] Furthermore, the locking structures 30 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the body 10 in the width direction. This structure ensures uniform force distribution on both sides of the body 10, thereby preventing fatigue fracture at the connection between the locking structure 30 and the body 10 due to uneven load distribution, thus improving service life. At the same time, the symmetrical structure also ensures the aesthetics of the bracket.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the locking structure 30 and the body 10 are integrally molded. The integral molding structure can reduce the number of connection points, ensure the continuity of materials, thereby improving the overall structural strength. At the same time, it can reduce processing steps, reduce labor costs, reduce material waste, and ensure production efficiency and cost optimization.

[0040] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the connecting key 20 and the body 10 are also integrally molded. As described above, this integral molding structure reduces connection points, ensures material continuity, and thus improves overall structural strength. This characteristic prevents the connecting key 20 from breaking due to prolonged connection with the encoder. Furthermore, it reduces processing steps, lowers labor costs, reduces material waste, and ensures production efficiency and cost optimization.

[0041] It should be noted that in this embodiment, only one connecting key 20 is provided, and it is located at the center of the body 10. This arrangement can further ensure the uniformity of force on the body 10, and also enhance the aesthetics of the support. In other embodiments, the number and position of the connecting keys 20 can be adjusted according to actual needs and the specific structure of the encoder to be fixed; no other limitations are made in this embodiment.

[0042] In addition, such as Figure 1As shown, the end of the connecting key 20 furthest from the body 10 is provided with a guide slope 21. When connecting the bracket to the encoder, the guide slope 21 can reduce the difficulty of inserting the connecting key 20 into the encoder mounting hole, thereby improving the convenience of operation, ensuring the user experience, and improving installation efficiency.

[0043] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the side of the main body 10 away from the connecting key 20 has a hollow structure. To ensure structural strength, the entire bracket is made of metal materials such as alloy and steel, while the back of the main body 10 has a hollow structure, which can effectively reduce the overall weight, not only saving materials and reducing costs, but also ensuring convenience during handling.

[0044] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the workflow of fixing the encoder with the bracket in this embodiment is described as follows:

[0045] First, place the bracket on the support surface and insert the locking part of the base into the locking gap 33;

[0046] Next, fasteners are passed through locking holes 34 and locking parts to lock the bracket to the base;

[0047] Finally, insert the connecting key 20 into the mounting hole of the encoder to fix the encoder in place.

[0048] In summary, the bracket in this embodiment is not only simple in structure, but also able to fix the encoder working in the air, thereby ensuring the stability of the encoding work, completing the corresponding process without affecting the operation of the original equipment, and improving work efficiency.

[0049] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
