Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of barcode scanners, and more specifically, to an automatic barcode scanner for a production line gantry. Background Technology

[0002] An automatic barcode scanner is a scanning device used on a production line. It combines barcode or QR code technology with mechanical structure to achieve barcode scanning and data collection of products on the production line. However, traditional barcode scanners are not fast enough to complete the scanning task within the time required due to the fast movement speed of products on the conveyor equipment, resulting in unstable scanning or an increased error rate.

[0003] For example, the utility model patent (application number: 202221382563.8) discloses a "product warehousing barcode scanner," whose specification reveals that it includes a gantry frame mounted on a conveyor, an infrared barcode scanner, and a position adjustment mechanism. The position adjustment mechanism includes a pushing component, a sliding seat, an electric push rod, and a mounting base. A groove is provided on the crossbeam of the gantry frame, and the sliding seat is slidably connected to the groove. When scanning products of different specifications for warehousing, the pushing component is activated to move the sliding seat horizontally on the crossbeam of the gantry frame, and the height of the mounting base is adjusted by activating the electric push rod. Since the infrared barcode scanner is mounted on the mounting base, when scanning barcodes on the outer packaging of products using the infrared barcode scanner, the position of the infrared barcode scanner can be adjusted according to the product specifications to perform scanning operations on products of different specifications, making it more adaptable. The above patent can corroborate the defects of the prior art.

[0004] Therefore, we made improvements and proposed an automatic barcode scanner for a production line gantry. Utility Model Content

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the telescopic component includes a second air cylinder located at the bottom of the first air cylinder, the second air cylinder being fixedly connected to the mounting frame, and a sliding rod being slidably provided inside the second air cylinder.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the transmission assembly further includes a connecting pipe fixed to the side of the first air cylinder away from the support rod. One end of the connecting pipe passes through the first air cylinder and communicates with the interior of the first air cylinder. The other end of the first air cylinder is fixedly connected to the end of the second air cylinder away from the support rod and communicates with the interior of the second air cylinder.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the moving component includes a limiting plate and a fixing block fixed to the top of the first mounting plate. A first sliding plate is fixedly provided between the limiting plate and the fixing block.

[0027] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 An automatic barcode scanner for a production line gantry includes a connecting plate 1. A cylinder 3 is fixedly mounted on both sides of the top of the connecting plate 1. An installation assembly 2 is located at the bottom of the connecting plate 1. Telescopic components 8 are located on both sides of the installation assembly 2. When the first installation plate 21 moves downward, it drives the telescopic components 8 to block the moving product. A transmission assembly 7 is located at the top of the telescopic components 8. The two transmission components 7 and the two telescopic components 8 are symmetrically arranged. A moving assembly 4 is located inside the installation assembly 2. The moving assembly 4 is used to drive a barcode scanner 6 to move. A lifting assembly 5 is located at the front end of the moving assembly 4. Barcode scanners 6 are located on both sides of the lifting assembly 5, and the barcode scanners 6 scan the product.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting assembly 2 includes two mounting brackets 22 fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate 1. The mounting brackets 22 are used to connect the transmission assembly 7. A support rod 23 is fixedly provided below the two mounting brackets 22. A first mounting plate 21 is provided above the support rod 23 and below the connecting plate 1. The first mounting plate 21 is used to connect with the moving assembly 4. The output end of the first cylinder 3 passes through the connecting plate 1 and is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 21.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the two transmission components 7 include two No. 1 air cylinders 71 located below the No. 1 mounting plate 21. The No. 1 air cylinder 71 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 22 on the corresponding side. The output end of the No. 1 cylinder 3 passes through the No. 1 mounting plate 21 and is slidably connected to the inside of the No. 1 air cylinder 71. When the No. 1 cylinder 3 is activated, the output end moves down, causing the No. 1 mounting plate 21 to move down. Its output end slides inside the No. 1 air cylinder 71, so that the gas inside the No. 1 air cylinder 71 is transmitted to the inside of the telescopic component 8 through the connecting pipe 72, thereby driving it to block the product.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the telescopic assembly 8 includes a second air cylinder 81 located at the bottom of the first air cylinder 71. When the first cylinder 3 is activated and drives the first mounting plate 21 to move down, the gas inside the first air cylinder 71 is transported to the inside of the second air cylinder 81, thereby driving the slide rod 82 to extend and block the moving product. The second air cylinder 81 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 22. The slide rod 82 is slidably provided inside the second air cylinder 81. One end of the slide rod 82 extends to the outside of the second air cylinder 81 on one side of the support rod 23.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the transmission assembly 7 also includes a connecting pipe 72 fixed to the side of the first air cylinder 71 away from the support rod 23. One end of the connecting pipe 72 passes through the first air cylinder 71 and communicates with the interior of the first air cylinder 71. The connecting pipe 72 connects the interior of the first air cylinder 71 with the interior of the second air cylinder 81. When the output end of the first cylinder 3 rises, it drives the gas inside the second air cylinder 81 to be drawn into the interior of the first air cylinder 71 through the connecting pipe 72, which drives the slide rod 82 to retract into the interior of the second air cylinder 81. The other end of the first air cylinder 71 is fixedly connected to the end of the second air cylinder 81 away from the support rod 23 and communicates with the interior of the second air cylinder 81.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] The automatic barcode scanner for the production line gantry provided in Example 1 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the moving component 4 includes a limiting plate 44 and a fixing block 42 fixed to the top of the first mounting plate 21. A first sliding plate 43 is fixed between the limiting plate 44 and the fixing block 42. A threaded rod 48 located above the first sliding plate 43 is rotatably connected between the limiting plate 44 and the fixing block 42. When the threaded rod 48 rotates, it drives the lifting component 5 to move through the thread. A motor 41 is fixed on the side of the fixing block 42 away from the first sliding plate 43. When the motor 41 is started, it drives the threaded rod 48 to rotate. The output end of the motor 41 passes through the fixing block 42 and is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 48.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the top of the limiting plate 44 and the fixing block 42 are fixedly provided with the same second sliding plate 45. The second sliding plate 45 is used to increase the stability of the sliding frame 46 and the second mounting plate 47 when they move. The top of the first sliding plate 43 is slidably provided with the sliding frame 46 which is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 48. When the threaded rod 48 rotates, it drives the sliding frame 46 and the second mounting plate 47 to move through the thread, thereby moving the lifting assembly 5. The second sliding plate 45 is located inside the sliding frame 46. The top of the second sliding plate 45 is slidably provided with the second mounting plate 47 which is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 46. The second mounting plate 47 is used to connect with the lifting assembly 5.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lifting assembly 5 includes a second cylinder 51 fixed to the front end of the second mounting plate 47. By activating the second cylinder 51, the barcode scanner 6 can be raised or lowered a certain distance, improving the flexibility of the equipment. The output end of the second cylinder 51 is fixedly provided with a third mounting plate 52. By activating the second cylinder 51, its output end drives the third mounting plate 52 to move up and down. Support frames 53 are fixed on both sides of the third mounting plate 52. The two barcode scanners 6 are fixed to the side of the support frame 53 away from the third mounting plate 52.

[0038] The operation process of the automatic barcode scanner for the production line gantry provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0039] When it is necessary to scan the products on the production line, start the No. 1 cylinder 3 so that its output end drives the No. 1 mounting plate 21 and the components mounted on the No. 1 mounting plate 21 to move down. At the same time, push the gas inside the No. 1 cylinder 71 through the connecting pipe 72 into the inside of the No. 2 cylinder 81, so that the slide bar 82 is pushed out by the gas, so that the slide bar 82 blocks the product and scans the product through the barcode scanner 6.

[0040] When it is necessary to adjust the position of the barcode scanner 6 in front of the first mounting plate 21, start the motor 41 so that the threaded rod 48 drives the sliding frame 46 to slide left and right through the thread, thereby driving the barcode scanner 6 to move left and right through the lifting assembly 5 to adjust the left and right position of the barcode scanner 6. Start the second cylinder 51 so that its output end drives the support frame 53 of the third mounting plate 52 and the barcode scanner 6 to move down, thereby adjusting the up and down position of the barcode scanner 6.
