[0025] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0026] Through analysis of existing technologies, the inventors discovered that in the assembly and testing of industrial barcode readers, especially for models that need to meet waterproof standards, there is a significant bottleneck in the sealing process of the wire interface: the lack of mechanical limiting devices makes the fixing direction of the barcode reader housing and the wire uncontrollable; the manual glue application method relies on manual assistance for positioning, and after applying the glue, it needs to be left to stand for a long time to wait for the glue to solidify; the wire is easily displaced due to human touch or equipment vibration, and is easily loosened and detached due to human vibration and pulling, which can easily damage the sealing structure, resulting in the need to invest more manpower and resources, and wasting production time and costs.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a barcode reader wire dispensing and fixing device according to the present invention.
[0028] Specifically, it can include the following structures:
[0029] The device includes a fixed base plate 1 and a support column 2 installed on one side of the fixed base plate 1. The support column 2 is characterized in that: a mounting block 3 is provided at one end of the support column 2, and a clamping block 4 is provided on one side of the mounting block 3, the clamping block 4 fixing the barcode reader housing in a preset direction; a first groove 5 for fixing the barcode reader cable is provided on one side of the mounting block 3, the shape of the first groove 5 being adapted to the shape of the barcode reader cable.
[0030] In the embodiments of this application, compared with the prior art's "lack of limiting device and reliance on manual positioning," this application provides a solution of "clamping block 4 and first groove 5 working together to fix the shell and wire," specifically: including a fixed base plate 1 and a support column 2 installed on one side of the fixed base plate 1, one end of the support column 2 is provided with an installation block 3, and one side of the installation block 3 is provided with a clamping block 4, which fixes the barcode reader shell along a preset direction; one side of the installation block 3 is provided with a first groove 5 for fixing the barcode reader wire, and the shape of the first groove 5 is adapted to the shape of the barcode reader wire. By fixing the barcode reader shell along the preset direction with clamping block 4, the problem of uncontrollable and easily offset shell fixing direction is solved, ensuring that the glue dispensing position is aligned with the axis of the shell, and improving the accuracy of the glue dispensing position; by setting the first groove 5 adapted to the shape of the wire, the problem of the wire being easily loosened and detached due to human vibration and pulling is solved, preventing the wire from sliding, reducing manual intervention, improving glue dispensing accuracy, reducing glue waste, and reducing production costs.
[0031] The following will further describe a reader wire dispensing and fixing device in this exemplary embodiment.
[0032] In one embodiment of this application, a locking knob 7 is provided on one side of the clamping block 4. The locking knob 7 includes a rotating rod 8 and a knob 9. One end of the rotating rod 8 is connected to the clamping block 4. The other end of the rotating rod 8 is connected to the knob 9. By rotating the knob 9, the clamping block 4 is pushed to lock the code reader housing.
[0033] It should be noted that the rotary rod 8, as an intermediate transmission component, transmits the rotational motion of the knob 9 to the clamping block 4 to achieve the locking function.
[0034] As an example, the knob 9 can be designed as round, square, or polygonal; the connection between the rotary rod 8 and the clamping block 4 can be fixed by threaded connection, snap-fit connection or pin; the connection between the knob 9 and the rotary rod 8 can be made by interference fit or glue bonding to ensure synchronous transmission during rotation.
[0035] In one specific implementation, the connection between the rotary rod 8 and the clamping block 4 is achieved through a threaded engagement. The threaded locking knob 7 can achieve self-locking, avoiding loosening caused by vibration, improving clamping reliability, and making the locking force more stable.
[0036] In one embodiment of this application, the clamping block 4 includes a first fixing block 10, a second fixing block 11, and a third fixing block 12; the second fixing block 11 is disposed on one side of the first fixing block 10; the third fixing block 12 is disposed on the other side of the first fixing block 10 and is disposed opposite to the second fixing block 11.
[0037] As an example, the first fixing block 10, the second fixing block 11, and the third fixing block 12 can be connected by a modular design or an integrated design; the three fixing blocks can be connected by screws, rivets, or welding.
[0038] In one specific implementation, the first fixing block 10, the second fixing block 11, and the third fixing block 12 are designed in sections. The position adjustment of the second fixing block 11 and the third fixing block 12 relative to the first fixing block 10 is more convenient. The section design can adapt to reader housings of different shapes, such as rectangular and circular housings. The section design distributes the clamping force evenly to the reader housing, avoiding local stress concentration that could lead to housing deformation. The section design allows for the individual replacement of damaged parts. For example, if the second fixing block 11 is worn, only this module needs to be replaced, reducing maintenance costs.
[0039] Reference Figure 2 The image shows a side view of a barcode reader wire dispensing and fixing device according to an embodiment of this application;
[0040] Specifically, it can include the following structures:
[0041] The second fixing block 11 is provided with a first mounting hole 13 and a second mounting hole 14; the second fixing block 11 is connected to the first fixing block 10 through the first mounting hole 13 and the second mounting hole 14.
[0042] It should be noted that the second fixing block 11 is connected to the first fixing block 10 through the first mounting hole 13 and the second mounting hole 14 to form a symmetrical fixing structure.
[0043] As an example, the second fixing block 11 and the first fixing block 10 can be connected by bolts, riveting or other connection methods; the position design of the mounting holes can be symmetrical or offset, and the double hole design can distribute stress.
[0044] In one specific implementation, the first mounting hole 13 and the second mounting hole 14 are symmetrically designed. The symmetrical design of the two mounting holes can disperse the connection stress, avoid structural deformation caused by single-point stress, and improve structural stability.
[0045] In one embodiment of this application, the third fixing block 12 is provided with a third mounting hole 15 and a fourth mounting hole 16; the third fixing block 12 is connected to the first fixing block 10 through the third mounting hole 15 and the fourth mounting hole 16.
[0046] It should be noted that the third fixing block 12 is connected to the first fixing block 10 through the third mounting hole 15 and the fourth mounting hole 16. This design achieves a rigid connection between the third fixing block 12 and the first fixing block 10 through two-point positioning, forming a symmetrical fixing structure.
[0047] As an example, the third fixing block 12 and the first fixing block 10 can be connected by bolts, riveting or other connection methods. The position design of the mounting holes can be symmetrical or offset. The double hole design can disperse stress and improve structural stability.
[0048] In one specific implementation, the third mounting hole 15 and the fourth mounting hole 16 are symmetrically designed. The symmetrical design of the two mounting holes can disperse the connection stress and avoid structural deformation caused by single-point force. The symmetrical layout of the two holes can disperse the clamping force and avoid structural deformation caused by single-point force.
[0049] In one embodiment of this application, the mounting block 3 is provided with a fifth mounting hole 17 and a sixth mounting hole 18; the first fixing block 10 is connected to the mounting block 3 through the fifth mounting hole 17 and the sixth mounting hole 18.
[0050] It should be noted that the fifth mounting hole 17 and the sixth mounting hole 18 on the mounting block 3 are used to connect with the first fixing block 10 to form a rigid assembly structure and a symmetrical fixing structure.
[0051] As an example, mounting block 3 and first fixing block 10 can be connected by bolts, riveting, or other connection methods. The mounting hole positions can be symmetrical or offset, and the double-hole design can distribute stress and improve structural stability.
[0052] In one specific implementation, the fifth mounting hole 17 and the sixth mounting hole 18 are symmetrically designed. The symmetrical design of the two mounting holes can disperse stress and improve connection stability. At the same time, the mounting angle and positional accuracy of the first fixing block 10 can be controlled by the hole layout.
[0053] In one embodiment of this application, the first fixing block 10 is a double-sloped body; the first fixing block 10 is provided with a second groove 6.
[0054] It should be noted that the first fixing block 10 adopts a double-sloped surface design, with its two sides adapted to the inclined mounting surface of the barcode reader housing. The sloping surface structure compensates for the angular deviation of the mounting surface, reducing the need for additional shims or adjustment fixtures. The second groove 6 is located at the top center of the first fixing block 10 and is used to accommodate the boss or positioning pin of the barcode reader housing. Geometric constraints enhance the clamping and positioning accuracy and prevent installation misalignment.
[0055] As an example, the double bevel can be set to 30°–45° to accommodate mounting surfaces with different inclinations. The beveled surface can increase roughness, which increases friction and prevents slippage after installation. The second groove 6 can be circular or rectangular to match different housing boss sizes.
[0056] In one specific implementation, when the slope angle is designed to be 45°, the double slopes of the first fixing block 10 and the inclined mounting surface of the reader housing form a geometric complement. The 45° slope compensates for installation errors, such as deviations in the housing's tilt angle. At the same time, the second groove 6 improves positioning accuracy through geometric constraints. Mechanically, the 45° slope can achieve uniform force distribution and avoid stress concentration.
[0057] Reference Figure 3 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a barcode reader wire dispensing and fixing device according to an embodiment of this application;
[0058] Specifically, it can include the following structures:
[0059] The mounting block 3 is provided with a seventh mounting hole 19, and the support column 2 is connected to the mounting block 3 through the seventh mounting hole 19; the fixed base plate 1 is provided with an eighth mounting hole 20, and the support column 2 is connected to the fixed base plate 1 through the eighth mounting hole 20.
[0060] It should be noted that the support column 2, as a structural force transmission component, is connected to the mounting block 3 at both ends through the seventh mounting hole 19 and to the fixed base plate 1 through the eighth mounting hole 20.
[0061] As an example, the support column 2 is connected to the mounting block 3 through the seventh mounting hole 19 and to the fixed base plate 1 through the eighth mounting hole 20. The connection method can be threaded connection or welding connection. The seventh mounting hole 19 and the eighth mounting hole 20 are threaded holes, and the two ends of the support column 2 are locked with nuts. The ends of the support column 2 can also be laser welded to the fixed base plate 1, which is suitable for high vibration scenarios. The support columns 2 can be arranged in a symmetrical grid, a circular radial pattern, or an asymmetrical staggered pattern.
[0062] In one specific implementation, the support columns 2 are arranged in a symmetrical grid pattern, with six support columns 2 symmetrically distributed, two each on the left, middle, and right. The two middle support columns 2 are located on both sides of the longitudinal central axis of the fixed base plate 1, forming a mechanically redundant structure. This design suppresses the bending deformation of the upper mounting block 3 under vertical load through multi-point constraints, and the design of the middle support columns 3 helps to prevent the upper mounting block 3 from deforming due to downward pressure during use.
[0063] In one embodiment of this application, the fixed base plate 1 is provided with foot pad mounting holes 21, and the fixed base plate 1 is connected to the support foot pad 22 through the foot pad mounting holes 21.
[0064] It should be noted that the fixed base plate 1 is connected to the support foot pad 22 through the foot pad mounting holes 21. The layout and size design of the foot pad mounting holes 21 match the geometric features of the support foot pad 22 to ensure a tight fit between the foot pad and the base plate. The support foot pad 22 is made of rubber, which absorbs vibration and isolates impact through elastic deformation. At the same time, the anti-slip texture design enhances friction with the ground and prevents the equipment from sliding.
[0065] As an example, the mounting hole layout can be symmetrically distributed at the four corners or oblong holes. The symmetrical distribution at the four corners can be adapted to the standard foot pad size, while the oblong holes can compensate for assembly errors.
[0066] In one specific implementation, the mounting holes can be symmetrically distributed at the four corners. This symmetrical distribution can disperse vibration energy to the four corners of the base plate, reducing local stress concentration.
[0067] In one embodiment of this application, the support pad 22 is frustum-shaped; the support pad 22 is made of rubber material for isolation, shock absorption and cushioning.
[0068] It should be noted that the support foot pad 22 is frustum-shaped, with a geometric configuration that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, forming an inverted cone structure with a larger diameter at the top than at the bottom. This design reduces the pressure per unit area by increasing the contact area with the ground, while also enhancing anti-slip capability through geometric self-locking properties. When the equipment is subjected to lateral forces, the tapered shape generates a downward component force, further suppressing displacement.
[0069] As an example, the support pads can be truncated or cylindrical. The truncated shape is suitable for flat surfaces, while the cylindrical shape can be used with anti-slip rings to enhance grip on rough surfaces.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.
