Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of scanning device technology, and in particular to a courier scanning device. Background Technology
[0002] Express delivery, also known as courier service or freight, refers to a new type of transportation where logistics companies, through their own independent networks or through joint ventures, quickly and safely deliver documents or parcels entrusted by users from the sender to the recipient's door. Express scanning devices at express delivery stations are equipment used in the express delivery and logistics industries, primarily for automatically identifying, classifying, and recording the entry and exit information of goods. These devices scan barcodes, QR codes, and other information, transmitting data to a computer system, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of goods entering and leaving the warehouse, and reducing manual operation and error rates.
[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN220171544U discloses a scanning and processing device for express delivery waybills, including a main mechanism, an auxiliary mechanism, and a storage mechanism. The auxiliary mechanism is located at the outer end of the main mechanism, and the storage mechanism is located below the main mechanism. The main mechanism includes a worktable, a motor, and a ball screw. The motor is fixedly installed at the upper end of the worktable, and the ball screw is movably installed at the right end of the motor. The main mechanism also includes a ball nut, an electric push rod, a connecting shaft, and a scanning and processing device body. The ball nut is movably installed at the outer end of the ball screw. The auxiliary mechanism includes a base, a support frame, casters, a fixing ring, an electric push rod, a limiting shaft, a rotation shaft, and a placement position. The base is fixedly installed below the worktable.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the following drawbacks exist: When staff place express packages sequentially in the placement positions, the motor drives the scanning device to move along the lead screw and scans the express packages through the scanning processing device body. During scanning, the barcode on the package must match the position of the scanning processing device body; otherwise, it may cause the express packages to be difficult to scan, affecting the efficiency of express package entry and exit from the warehouse. In the aforementioned technologies, the position of the scanning processing device body relative to the width of the placement position is difficult to adjust, and it mainly relies on manual movement of the express package itself to make the express package correspond to the position of the scanning processing device body. However, the method of visual observation reduces the efficiency of express package placement. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a courier scanning device.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a courier scanning device, including a workbench, the top of the workbench having an installation port communicating with a side wall of one side of the workbench, a conveyor belt for transporting courier packages and a drive assembly for driving the conveyor belt to rotate are provided in the installation port, an L-shaped connecting rod is fixed to the top of the workbench, a scanning processing device body for scanning courier packages on the workbench for entry and exit is fixed on the horizontal section of the L-shaped connecting rod, a courier collection box is located on the side of the workbench near the installation port, an inclined sliding plate for guiding courier packages from the conveyor belt into the courier collection box is provided between the courier collection box and the workbench, and a U-shaped mounting plate is fixed to the top of the workbench, which is inverted and located away from the L-shaped connecting rod on the side of the courier collection box, and a laser device for indicating the position of the courier package barcode is fixed at the position of the U-shaped mounting plate corresponding to the scanning processing device body.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when staff need to scan packages at the express station for entry and exit, the first step is to drive the conveyor belt using a drive component. Then, staff need to move the packages onto the conveyor belt, aligning the side of the package with the barcode with the laser on the workbench, ensuring the barcode is aligned with the position indicated by the laser. The package is then transported by the conveyor belt to the area below the scanning device and scanned. After scanning, the package slides down a tilting slide into the collection box. The accurate positioning of the package's barcode by the laser eliminates the need for manual visual inspection, thus improving the efficiency of the scanning device in quickly scanning packages for entry and exit.
[0008] Furthermore, a transverse baffle is fixed to the top of the conveyor belt. The length direction of the transverse baffle is parallel to the width direction of the conveyor belt, and multiple transverse baffles are provided with equal spacing between them.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the staff puts the express package onto the conveyor belt surface, the horizontal baffle can push the express package to a certain extent, so that the express package will not slip due to the sudden increase in the speed of the conveyor belt, and thus the barcode will not shift from its original position, thus ensuring the stability of the conveyor.
[0010] Furthermore, the top of the conveyor belt is fixed with a longitudinal baffle located between two adjacent transverse baffles to prevent express packages from sliding sideways in the width direction of the conveyor belt. The longitudinal baffle is perpendicular to the transverse baffle, and the two ends of the longitudinal baffle are located close to the transverse baffle. Multiple longitudinal baffles are provided between two adjacent transverse baffles and the spacing between them is equal.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the staff places the express package on the surface of the conveyor belt, the longitudinal baffle reduces the probability of the express package sliding sideways in the direction of the width of the conveyor belt during the transmission along the conveyor belt, so that when the express package moves to the bottom of the scanning processing device, its barcode still corresponds to the position of the scanning processing device.
[0012] Furthermore, the top of the conveyor belt is fixed with dot-shaped protrusions to prevent the express packages from sliding. The cross-section of the dot-shaped protrusions is circular, and multiple dot-shaped protrusions are arranged in a rectangular array.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the staff places the express package on the surface of the conveyor belt, the dotted protrusions can prevent the express package from slipping or shifting due to the movement of the conveyor belt, so that the barcode of the express package always corresponds to the position of the scanning processing device, thereby improving the scanning efficiency of subsequent scanning.
[0014] Furthermore, a rolling shaft is rotatably mounted between the side walls on both sides of the mounting port. Multiple rolling shafts are provided and located at the same height, and the tops of the multiple rolling shafts are pressed against the upper surface of the inner side of the conveyor belt.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when staff place heavier packages on the surface of the conveyor belt, multiple rolling shafts work together to support the heavier packages, effectively reducing the probability of the packages in front shifting due to the heavier packages falling, and ensuring that the barcode of the packages in front remains aligned with the position of the scanning and processing device.
[0016] Furthermore, a support plate is fixed between the side walls on both sides of the mounting port, the top of the support plate abuts against the upper surface of the inner side of the conveyor belt, and both ends of the support plate are integrally formed with downwardly curved guide plate segments.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when workers place heavier packages on the conveyor belt, the pallet provides support, effectively reducing the probability of packages shifting position due to falling weight and ensuring that the barcodes on the packages remain aligned with the scanning device. The downward bending of the pallet's ends reduces the probability of frictional damage to the inner side of the conveyor belt caused by sharp edges.
[0018] Furthermore, a rubber block is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the collection box, and a partition is provided inside the collection box, with the top of the rubber block abutting against the bottom of the partition.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the express package slides down the inclined slide onto the partition inside the collection box, the rubber block set at the bottom of the partition can absorb and disperse the impact force generated when the express package falls, preventing damage caused by the express package rolling directly into the collection box and improving the integrity of the express package.
[0020] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a drive roller rotatably mounted between the inner walls on both sides of the mounting opening and a driven roller rotatably mounted between the inner walls on both sides of the mounting opening. The central rod of the drive roller passes through the side wall of the worktable and is rotatably connected. The roller surfaces of both the drive roller and the driven roller are pressed against the inner surface of the conveyor belt. The drive assembly also includes a drive motor fixed to the side wall of the worktable and driving the central rod of the drive roller to rotate, and a synchronous pulley fixedly sleeved on the central rod of the drive roller. There are two synchronous pulleys, and the other synchronous pulley is fixedly sleeved on the central rod of the driven roller. The two synchronous pulleys are connected by a synchronous belt that meshes with them.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when staff need to use the conveyor belt to scan and store express packages, they only need to start the drive motor to rotate the central rod of the active roller. This causes the central rod of the active roller to rotate the synchronous wheel fixed to it. Both synchronous wheels mesh with the synchronous belt, so that the two synchronous wheels rotate synchronously. The synchronous wheels drive the driven roller fixed to them to move, which in turn drives the entire conveyor belt to move, so that the express packages are smoothly and orderly transported forward to the scanning and processing device for scanning and storage.

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0032] Example 1: As Figure 1-7 As shown in the figure, this application discloses a parcel scanning device, including a workbench 1, a parcel collection box 4, a conveyor belt 2, and a drive assembly 3. The workbench 1 has a mounting opening 11 at its top, which communicates with a side wall on one side of the workbench 1. The parcel collection box 4 is located on the side of the workbench 1 closest to the mounting opening 11. An inverted U-shaped mounting plate 14 is fixed to the top of the workbench 1, located away from the L-shaped connecting rod 12 and the parcel collection box 4. The conveyor belt 2 is disposed within the mounting opening 11 for transporting parcels. The drive assembly 3 drives the conveyor belt 2 to rotate. Specifically, the drive assembly 3 includes a drive roller 31, a driven roller 32, a drive motor 33, a synchronous pulley 34, and a synchronous belt 35. The drive roller 31 is rotatably mounted between the inner walls on both sides of the mounting opening 11, and the central rod of the drive roller 31 passes through the side wall of the workbench 1 and is rotatably connected. The driven roller 32 is rotatably mounted between the inner walls on both sides of the mounting opening 11. The roller surfaces of both the driven roller 32 and the driving roller 31 are in contact with the inner surface of the conveyor belt 2. The axis of the driven roller 32 and the axis of the driving roller 31 are on the same horizontal line. The drive motor 33 is fixed to the side wall of the worktable 1, and drives the central rod of the driving roller 31 to rotate. Two synchronous pulleys 34 are fixedly sleeved on the central rod of the driving roller 31. Another synchronous pulley 34 is fixedly sleeved on the central rod of the driven roller 32. The axes of the two synchronous pulleys 34 coincide with the axes of the driving roller 31 and the driven roller 32, respectively. A synchronous belt 35 meshes with the two synchronous pulleys 34, and the two synchronous pulleys 34 are connected by the synchronous belt 35.
[0033] In this embodiment, an L-shaped connecting rod 12 is fixed to the top of the workbench 1, and a scanning processing device body 13 is fixed to the bottom of the horizontal section of the L-shaped connecting rod 12. The scanning processing device body scans the express packages on the conveyor belt 2 for entry and exit. A laser device 15 for indicating the position of the express package barcode is fixed at the position corresponding to the U-shaped mounting plate 14 and the scanning processing device body 13. The laser device 15 can locate the express package barcode, eliminating the need for manual observation of the express package barcode position by the naked eye.
[0034] When staff need to move the conveyor belt 2 to scan and store express packages, they only need to start the drive motor 33 to drive the central rod of the drive roller 31 to rotate. This causes the central rod of the drive roller 31 to drive the synchronous wheel 34 fixed to it to rotate. Both synchronous wheels 34 mesh with the synchronous belt 35, so that the two synchronous wheels 34 rotate synchronously. The synchronous wheels 34 drive the driven roller 32 fixed to them to move, which in turn drives the entire conveyor belt 2 to move, so that the express packages are smoothly and orderly transported forward to the scanning and processing device body 13 for scanning and storage operations.
[0035] To reduce the probability of the package slipping during transport and affecting normal scanning, a horizontal baffle 21 is fixed to the top of the conveyor belt 2. The length direction of the horizontal baffle 21 is parallel to the width direction of the conveyor belt. There are multiple horizontal baffles 21 with equal spacing between them. When the staff places the package on the surface of the conveyor belt 2, the horizontal baffles 21 push the package to a certain extent, thereby reducing the possibility of the package shifting from its original position and ensuring the stability of the package. To further reduce the probability of packages slipping during transport, a longitudinal baffle 22 is fixed to the top of the conveyor belt 2 to prevent packages from slipping in the width direction of the conveyor belt 2. The longitudinal baffle 22 is located between two adjacent transverse baffles 21 and is perpendicular to the transverse baffles 21. The two ends of the longitudinal baffle 22 are set close to the transverse baffles 21. There are multiple longitudinal baffles 22 between two adjacent transverse baffles 21 and the spacing between them is equal. The longitudinal baffle 22 reduces the probability of packages slipping in the width direction of the conveyor belt 2 during transport. This ensures that when the package is moved by the conveyor belt 2 to the area below the scanning processing device body 13, its barcode still corresponds to the position of the scanning processing device body 13, thus improving the scanning efficiency.
[0036] To reduce the probability of packages being damaged when they fall directly to the ground after being scanned by conveyor belt 2, a tilting slide 5 is installed between the package collection box 4 and the workbench 1. The tilting slide 5 guides packages from conveyor belt 2 into the package collection box 4. To further reduce the probability of package damage, a rubber block 41 is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the package collection box 4. A partition 42 is installed inside the package collection box 4, with the top of the rubber block 41 abutting against the bottom of the partition 42. When a package slides down the tilting slide 5 onto the partition 42 inside the collection box, the rubber block 41 at the bottom of the partition 42 absorbs and disperses the impact force generated when the package falls, preventing damage caused by the package rolling directly into the collection box and improving the integrity of the package.
[0037] In this embodiment, to prevent the probability of the already placed express packages shifting due to heavy express packages being placed on the surface of the conveyor belt 2, a rolling shaft 25 is rotatably installed between the side walls on both sides of the mounting port 11. Multiple rolling shafts 25 are provided and located at the same height. The tops of the multiple rolling shafts 25 are all pressed against the upper surface of the inner side of the conveyor belt 2. The multiple rolling shafts 25 cooperate to provide a certain support for the heavy express packages, effectively reducing the probability of the express packages in front shifting due to the heavy express packages falling, and ensuring that the barcode of the express packages in front remains in correspondence with the position of the scanning processing device body 13. In other embodiments, the rolling shaft 25 can be replaced by a tray 24. The tray 24 is fixed between the side walls on both sides of the mounting port 11. The top of the tray 24 abuts against the upper surface of the inner side of the conveyor belt 2. Both ends of the tray 24 have integrally formed downward-curved guide plate segments. The tray 24 supports heavier express packages, effectively reducing the probability of the express package in front shifting position due to the heavy express package falling, and ensuring that the barcode of the express package in front remains aligned with the position of the scanning processing device body 13. The downward curvature of the two ends of the tray 24 reduces the probability of friction damage to the inner side of the conveyor belt 2 due to the sharp edges at both ends of the tray 24.
[0038] Example 2: Figure 8 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is only that the transverse baffle 21 and the longitudinal baffle 22 can be replaced with dot-shaped protrusions 23. The dot-shaped protrusions 23 are fixed to the top of the conveyor belt 2 to prevent the express package from sliding. The cross-section of the dot-shaped protrusions 23 is circular. There are multiple dot-shaped protrusions 23 distributed in a rectangular array. The dot-shaped protrusions 23 can prevent the express package from sliding and shifting due to the movement of the conveyor belt 2, so that the barcode of the express package always corresponds to the position of the scanning processing device body 13, which improves the scanning efficiency during subsequent scanning.
[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
