[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food label information collection technology, specifically to a food label information collection workbench. Background Technology

[0002] Food labels serve as the basis for product information display and compliance review, and their content accuracy, format standardization, and completeness of labeling elements are all required.

[0003] In the current process of reviewing and collecting label information for pre-packaged foods, staff typically need to first analyze the label information on the packaging container against relevant regulations, then manually measure physical parameters such as font size and label area using measuring tools like rulers, and finally photograph the food labels. These photos are then manually entered into a computer system. Finally, a report is generated based on the previously reviewed labels and printed for archiving. This entire process involves multiple independent tools and steps, with a lack of effective integration between them, resulting in cumbersome and time-consuming operations. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a food label information collection workbench that integrates a manual measuring device and an image acquisition device, enabling staff to perform functions such as measuring the size of food packaging labels and taking photos on a single operating platform, simplifying the operation process and thus solving the aforementioned problems.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a food label information collection workbench, including a workbench body, a mounting base on the upper part of the workbench body, an insertion rod for inserting a packaging container, a scale plate set above the insertion rod for measuring the size of the food label on the packaging container, a clamping mechanism for clamping the packaging container on the workbench body, a rotating mechanism for driving the clamping mechanism to rotate around an axis between the clamping mechanism and the workbench body, and an image acquisition device for taking pictures of the packaging container on the clamping mechanism on the workbench body.

[0006] As a further optimization of this utility model, both the insertion rod and the scale plate are slidably connected to the mounting base in the up-down direction. A first locking structure is provided between the insertion rod and the mounting base, and a second locking structure is provided between the scale plate and the mounting base.

[0007] As a further optimization of this utility model, the mounting base is slidably connected to the platform, and the platform is also provided with a flexible friction layer that can drive the packaging container to rotate around the axis of the insertion rod by friction when the mounting base slides.

[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, the insertion rod is arranged in the left-right direction, and the scale plate is inclined with the front lower and the back higher.

[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, the clamping mechanism includes a clamping seat, at least two grippers are rotatably connected to the clamping seat, and a driving cylinder is also provided on the clamping seat. The output end of the driving cylinder is connected to the grippers to drive the grippers to rotate around the rotational connection point between the grippers and the clamping seat.

[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating motor, and the output end of the rotating motor is connected to the clamping seat.

[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, the platform includes side plates respectively disposed on the left and right sides, a mounting plate fixedly connected between the two side plates, the image acquisition device disposed on the side plates, and the rotating mechanism disposed on the mounting plate.

[0012] As a further optimization of this utility model, a top plate is connected to the top of the two side plates, and a lighting lamp for providing illumination is connected to the lower part of the top plate.

[0013] As a further optimization of this utility model, the image acquisition device includes a multi-point laser sensor and a camera.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: By setting an insertion rod on the mounting base and a scale plate above the insertion rod, the operator can place the packaging container on the insertion rod and directly measure the font size and label area size on the label with the help of the scale plate, realizing fast and accurate manual measurement. Through the coordinated setting of the clamping mechanism and the rotating mechanism, the packaging container can be firmly clamped and rotated around the axis, thereby cooperating with the image acquisition device to capture and collect label information on each side of the packaging container. This allows the workbench to integrate multiple operation needs, enabling the operator to perform functions such as size measurement and image acquisition of food packaging container labels on the same operating platform, simplifying the operation process and improving the efficiency of food label information collection.

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a food label information collection workbench, including a workbench body 1. The upper part of the workbench body 1 is provided with a mounting base 2. The mounting base 2 is provided with an insertion rod 3 for inserting a packaging container, and a scale plate 4 set above the insertion rod 3 for measuring the size of the food label on the packaging container. The workbench body 1 is also provided with a clamping mechanism 5 for clamping the packaging container. A rotating mechanism 6 is provided between the clamping mechanism 5 and the workbench body 1 to drive the clamping mechanism 5 to rotate around an axis. The workbench body 1 is also provided with an image acquisition device 7 for taking pictures of the packaging container on the clamping mechanism 5.

[0021] The upper part of the platform 1 is provided with a mounting base 2, through which components related to label size measurement are centrally arranged. An insert rod 3 is provided on the mounting base 2 for packaging containers such as beverage bottles and condiment bottles to fit into, providing support. The size of the insert rod 3 is adapted to the inner diameter of common bottle types. Above the insert rod 3 is a scale plate 4. In this embodiment, the scale plate 4 can be made of engineering plastics or glass materials with good light transmittance and certain structural strength, such as acrylic or polycarbonate, making it transparent or semi-transparent. Its surface has horizontal and vertical scale lines, allowing direct comparison and measurement of font size, label area height, and width on the label. The scale plate 4 allows workers to quickly read key physical parameters of the label without the need for additional measuring tools, improving measurement efficiency. The platform 1 is also provided with a clamping mechanism 5 for securely clamping the packaging containers. This clamping mechanism can be pneumatically or manually adjusted to accommodate packaging containers of different diameters and shapes. The clamping mechanism 5 is connected to the platform 1 via the rotating mechanism 6. The rotating mechanism 6 can drive the clamping mechanism and the clamped packaging container to rotate around a set axis, enabling multi-angle display and shooting. The platform 1 is also equipped with an image acquisition device 7, which can continuously or fixate on the packaging container during its rotation, thereby obtaining complete image information of the labels on each side of the packaging container.

[0022] In one embodiment, after the staff puts the packaging container into the insert rod 3, they can manually rotate the packaging container to make it rotate around the axis of the insert rod 3, thereby adjusting the position of different areas of the label so that it is aligned with the scale plate 4. This facilitates the sequential measurement of the size parameters of the labels located on each side of the packaging container, so that the scale plate 4 can measure different labels.

[0023] By installing a rod 3 on the mounting base 2 and a scale plate 4 above the rod 3, workers can place the packaging container on the rod 3 and directly measure the font size and label area dimensions using the scale plate 4, achieving fast and accurate manual measurement. Furthermore, the clamping mechanism 5 and the rotating mechanism 6 work together to securely hold the packaging container and rotate it around an axis, allowing the image acquisition device 7 to capture label information from all sides of the container. This structure integrates functions such as measuring the size of packaging container labels and acquiring multi-angle images, solving the problems of scattered tools and cumbersome operation in traditional manual measurement and photography. It boasts advantages such as reasonable structure, simple operation, and high efficiency, making it suitable for widespread application in food testing, market supervision, and related production processes.

[0024] The insertion rod 3 and the scale plate 4 are both slidably connected to the mounting base 2 in the up-down direction. A first locking structure 81 is provided between the insertion rod 3 and the mounting base 2, and a second locking structure 82 is provided between the scale plate 4 and the mounting base 2.

[0025] Both the insertion rod 3 and the scale plate 4 are slidably connected to the mounting base 2 in the vertical direction. When inspecting a batch of packaging containers of the same specifications, the positions of the insertion rod and the scale plate only need to be adjusted once according to the height of the bottles in that batch, and then fixed by the locking structure, so that the entire batch of packaging containers can be continuously measured. To ensure the stability after adjustment, locking structures are provided between the insertion rod 3 and the mounting base 2, and between the scale plate 4 and the mounting base 2, so that after the insertion rod 3 or the scale plate 4 is adjusted to a suitable position, it can be fixed by the locking structure to prevent displacement due to external forces during the measurement process, which would affect the observation of the measurement results.

[0026] In this embodiment, the mounting base 2 has a vertically oriented sliding groove 22. The insertion rod 3 and the scale plate 4 are respectively disposed within the sliding groove 22 and can slide up and down within the sliding groove 22 to adjust their height. A locking groove is provided within the sliding groove 22. The first locking structure 81 includes a first locking member connected to the insertion rod 3 with its end extending out of the locking groove. The second locking structure 82 includes a second locking member connected to the scale plate 4 with its end extending out of the locking groove. The ends of the first and second locking members have pressure blocks. Operators can manually tighten the first and second locking members, causing the pressure blocks at their ends to apply a pressing force to the side wall of the mounting base 2, thereby locking the insertion rod 3 and the scale plate 4 in a set position. The locking structure can also be implemented by opening multiple positioning holes in the side wall of the sliding groove 22 and setting elastic buckles on the insertion rod 3 or the scale plate 4, as long as it can reliably fix the adjusted positions of the insertion rod 3 and the scale plate 4.

[0027] In this embodiment, the locking groove includes a first locking groove and a second locking groove provided on different side walls of the mounting base 2. The end of the first locking member extends out of the first locking groove, and the end of the second locking member extends out of the second locking groove. By arranging the two locking members on different side walls of the mounting base, it is convenient for the operator to adjust the height of the scale plate 4 and the insertion rod 3 and lock them respectively.

[0028] In one embodiment, the insertion rod 3 is detachably connected to the mounting base 2. When the staff needs to measure a batch of regular boxed packaging containers of the same specifications, after removing the insertion rod 3 from the mounting base 2, the packaging container is placed under the scale plate 4, the packaging container is manually rotated so that the label surface is close to the scale plate 4, and the label is measured through the scale plate 4.

[0029] The mounting base 2 is slidably connected to the platform 1, and the platform 1 is also provided with a flexible friction layer 9 that can drive the packaging container to rotate around the axis of the insertion rod 3 by friction when the mounting base 2 slides.

[0030] The flexible friction layer 9 is preferably made of rubber, silicone, or other elastic materials with an appropriate coefficient of friction. In this embodiment, the flexible friction layer 9 is disposed below the sliding path of the insert rod 3 following the sliding of the mounting base 2. When the operator pushes the mounting base 2 to slide along the platform 1, the insert rod 3 and the packaging container on it move synchronously. The bottom of the packaging container contacts the surface of the flexible friction layer 9 and generates friction. Since the insert rod 3 supports the packaging container, and the friction acts on the bottom of the packaging container, a torque difference is formed between the two, causing the packaging container to rotate around the axis of the insert rod 3. This structure eliminates the need for an additional motor or transmission components, enabling passive rotation of the packaging container during sliding, facilitating observation of the packaging container from different angles by the operator.

[0031] In this embodiment, a guide rail 14 is provided on the platform 1 along the front-back direction, and the mounting seat 2 is slidably disposed on the guide rail 14. A handle 21 is also provided on one side of the mounting seat 2, so that the staff can hold the handle 21 and apply force to it to drive the mounting seat 2 to slide relative to the platform 1.

[0032] The insertion rod 3 is arranged in the left-right direction, and the scale plate 4 is inclined with the front lower and the back higher.

[0033] The scale plate 4 is arranged at an angle with its front end lower than its rear end. Specifically, the front end of the scale plate 4, which is closer to the staff, is lower, and the rear end, which is farther away from the staff, is higher, forming an upward tilt angle. This makes the scale surface of the scale plate 4 face the staff, allowing the staff to directly view the scale plate 4 and compare parameters.

[0034] The clamping mechanism 5 includes a clamping seat 51, which is rotatably connected to at least two grippers 52. The clamping seat 51 is also provided with a drive cylinder 53, the output end of which is connected to the grippers 52 to drive the grippers 52 to rotate around the rotational connection point between them and the clamping seat 51.

[0035] The clamping mechanism 5 includes a clamping base 51, on which at least two grippers 52 are provided. The grippers 52 are hinged to the clamping base 51 via a pin structure or other means. The free ends of the grippers 52 are used to contact and clamp the outer wall of the packaged container. The inner surface of the grippers 52 may be provided with an anti-slip pad or elastic cushioning material to improve clamping stability and prevent damage to the surface of the packaged container. A drive cylinder 53 is also provided on the clamping base 51, and the output end of the drive cylinder 53 is connected to the grippers 52. When the drive cylinder 53 is activated, its output end pushes or pulls the grippers 52, causing the grippers to rotate around the rotational connection point between them and the clamping base 51, thereby realizing the synchronous movement of multiple grippers 52 towards the center or outward.

[0036] The rotating mechanism 6 includes a rotating motor 61, the output end of which is connected to the clamping seat 51.

[0037] The rotating motor 61 is fixedly mounted on the platform 1 or the mounting bracket. The motor drives the clamping seat 51 to rotate, realizing the function of rotating the packaging container around the axis in the clamping state, which facilitates the image acquisition device 7 to capture and collect the label information on each side of the packaging container.

[0038] The platform 1 includes side plates 11 respectively located on the left and right sides, and a mounting plate 12 is fixedly connected between the two side plates 11. The image acquisition device 7 is located on the side plate 11, and the rotating mechanism 6 is located on the mounting plate 12.

[0039] By mounting the image acquisition device 7 on the side plate 11 and the rotating mechanism 6 on the mounting plate 12, the table space is not occupied, allowing for more flexible arrangement of manual measuring devices on the table. This avoids the need to install the rotating mechanism 6 and the image acquisition device 7 on the table body 1, which would occupy a large horizontal area and restrict the arrangement space of other functional components, thus improving the rationality of the overall layout and the ease of operation.

[0040] A top plate 13 is connected to the top of the two side plates 11, and a lighting lamp 10 for providing illumination is connected to the lower part of the top plate 13.

[0041] By setting up the lighting lamp 10, the lighting intensity of the operating area in the middle of the platform 1 is increased, reducing visual errors caused by shadows or reflections.

[0042] In one embodiment, the lighting lamp 10 is a multi-color temperature adjustable LED lamp, whose light emission modes include, but are not limited to, three color temperature modes: white light, natural light, and warm light. These modes can be freely switched by a control switch or adjustment knob, so that staff can obtain the best label image acquisition effect under different lighting conditions.

[0043] The image acquisition device 7 includes a multi-point laser sensor 71 and a camera 72.

[0044] The multi-point laser sensor 71 can emit multiple laser beams and receive reflected signals to calculate the size of the target object and the distance between the sensor and the target object. The camera 72 can provide clear label images. In actual operation, the multi-point laser sensor 71 first performs a preliminary scan of the packaging container to obtain object size and distance information. Subsequently, the camera 72 starts shooting according to a preset program or manual command, recording high-definition images of each side of the label. During the shooting process, the rotating mechanism 6 drives the clamping base 51 and the packaging container on it to rotate slowly, allowing the camera 72 to obtain complete label information from different angles.

[0045] In one embodiment, the camera 72 is electrically connected to an external computer and printer. When food label information needs to be collected, the staff places the food packaging container to be tested on the insertion rod 3. First, the handle 21 drives the mounting base 2 to move, and through the friction layer 9, the packaging container rotates to observe whether its label complies with relevant regulations. The staff measures and records the font, area, and other data of the label using the scale plate 4. Then, the packaging container is placed on the clamping mechanism 5 for clamping, and the rotation mechanism 6 and image acquisition device 7 are activated. The camera 72 takes pictures of the food label on the packaging container, and after acquiring the image data, it is sent to the external computer. The external computer generates an audit report template based on the information and writes the image acquired by the camera 72 and the basic information on the label extracted by OCR text recognition based on the image into the report. Subsequently, the staff can fill in the relevant data obtained by manual measurement on the computer and confirm or modify the report content. Finally, the edited audit report can be output with one click through the connected printer to form a paper document for filing, submission to supervision, or internal management of the enterprise.
