Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a carrier for fixing barcodes, specifically to a barcode slot and tray carrier for fixing barcodes. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of digital intelligence and transportation unit sharing in my country's logistics and transportation industry, the use of QR codes / RFID chips for information reading of logistics and transportation products and warehouse management is becoming more and more widespread. How to efficiently and cost-effectively attach barcodes carrying product information to products has always been a problem that the industry is constantly exploring.

[0003] Existing methods for fixing products and barcodes and their problems:

[0004] 1. Using 3M adhesive to directly affix the barcode to the product's barcode slot or corresponding scanning area. The problem is that most logistics and transportation products are exposed to wind and sun or improper handling, causing barcodes to be damaged, detached, or lost, hindering the reading of product information.

[0005] 2. The barcode is made of PVC and is fixed to the product with rivets; alternatively, a label holder is used to fix the barcode to the holder, which in turn is fixed to the product. Both methods require a large number of rivets or label holders, are cumbersome to operate, and are costly. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model provides a barcode slot for fixing barcodes and a pallet carrier containing the barcode slot, in order to overcome the problems existing in the prior art, namely: (1) the problem of barcode damage when using 3M adhesive; (2) the problem of cumbersome operation and high cost when using rivets and label holders.

[0007] For the barcode slot, the technical solution of this application is as follows:

[0008] A barcode slot for fixing a barcode includes a back plate, a first side plate, a second side plate, a bottom plate, a top plate, and a front limiting plate. The back plate and the front limiting plate work together to limit the face of the barcode. The first side plate, the second side plate, the bottom plate, and the top plate work together to limit the edges of the barcode. The front limiting plate includes a first front limiting plate, a second front limiting plate, and a third front limiting plate. The first front limiting plate is connected to the first side plate, the second front limiting plate is connected to the second side plate, and the third front limiting plate is connected to the bottom plate. The top of the first front limiting plate and the top of the second front limiting plate are lower than the bottom of the top plate, allowing the barcode to be inserted into the barcode slot from top to bottom. By adopting the above-mentioned structural design, the barcode can be inserted into the barcode slot from top to bottom by aligning with the gap between the first front limiting plate, the second front limiting plate and the back plate. The back plate, the first side plate, the second side plate, the bottom plate, the top plate and the front limiting plate respectively limit the barcode in six directions. The operation is simple, the cost of use is low, and the barcode will not fall off in the barcode slot.

[0009] As an optimization, the front limiting plate includes a first front limiting plate, a second front limiting plate, and a third front limiting plate. The vertical distance D1 between the top of the first front limiting plate and the bottom of the top plate is 5-6mm. The vertical distance D2 between the top of the third front limiting plate and the bottom of the top plate is not less than D1. This design is mainly to ensure a strong limiting ability for barcodes, while facilitating the insertion and removal of barcodes.

[0010] As an optimization, the number of the third front limiting plates is not less than one, thereby further improving the limiting capability of the barcode.

[0011] As an optimization, the base plate is provided with a hollow structure. The hollow structure can be a trapezoidal or rectangular hollow structure with a length smaller than that of the barcode, so that the barcode is not easy to fall out of the hollow structure. The hollow structure is used to manually push the barcode out of the barcode slot.

[0012] As an optimization, the side of the first front limiting plate is connected to the first side plate, and the bottom edge is connected to the bottom plate; the side of the second front limiting plate is connected to the second side plate, and the bottom edge is connected to the bottom plate. Therefore, the front limiting plate has a large coverage length for the barcode, strong limiting capability, and the first and second front limiting plates themselves have high structural strength and are not easily damaged.

[0013] As an optimization, the side of the top plate connected to the back plate is a flat surface, and the side of the top plate opposite the barcode is an outwardly protruding arc or slope. When the barcode is manually inserted or removed from the barcode slot, the arc or slope design helps to guide the movement direction of the barcode.

[0014] For pallet carriers, the technical solution of this application is as follows:

[0015] A pallet carrier comprising a barcode slot for securing barcodes, wherein the barcode slot and the pallet carrier are integrally formed, thereby avoiding the cumbersome process of securing barcodes with auxiliary tools such as rivets or label holders as in the prior art.

[0016] As an optimization, the front limiting plate is flush with one side of the pallet carrier, which makes it easier to manufacture the barcode slot in one piece.

[0017] As an optimization, the front limiting plate protrudes from one side of the pallet carrier. In this case, the front limiting plate can be thickened to strengthen the limiting function without restricting the space of the barcode slot.

[0018] As an optimization, the barcode slot and the tray carrier are made of rigid PVC plastic. Barcodes made of this material can undergo slight deformation under force, making them easy to insert and remove manually.

[0019] Beneficial technical effects: (1) Convenient operation: The curved or inclined surface of the top plate and the design of the front limiting plate being 5-6mm away from the top plate enable the barcode to be quickly inserted and removed. (2) Stable structure: The barcode slot of this application has a six-sided limiting structure, which can firmly fix the barcode, and the barcode is designed with an adhesive layer, which can be pressed and stuck into the barcode slot to further strengthen the barcode. (3) Low cost: The barcode slot and the pallet carrier of this application are integrally injection molded, which does not require rivets or label holders and other auxiliary parts. Conventional polypropylene or polyethylene plastics can be used to realize the mass production of logistics products, resulting in lower product development costs and facilitating market promotion.

The barcode 7 can be movably fixed in the barcode slot 81, or it can be fixed in the barcode slot 81 by adhesive. The barcode 7 can be manually inserted into the barcode slot 81 and can be manually removed. The barcode 7 is made of rigid PVC plastic, the front of the barcode 7 is a product information barcode, and the back of the barcode 7 is designed with an adhesive layer. When the barcode 7 is subjected to external pressure, it can produce slight deformation.

[0033] like Figure 2As shown, the barcode slot 81 includes a back plate 1, which faces the back of the barcode 7. The barcode 7 can be fixed to the back plate 1 by adhesive. The barcode slot 81 also includes a first side plate 2, which faces one side of the barcode 7; the barcode slot 81 also includes a second side plate 2, which faces the other side of the barcode 7; the barcode slot 81 also includes a bottom plate 4, which faces the bottom edge of the barcode 7. The bottom plate 4 is provided with a hollow structure 41 to facilitate pushing the barcode 7 out of the barcode slot 81 from the bottom. In this embodiment, the hollow structure 41 is a trapezoidal hollow structure with one side length shorter than that of the barcode. The barcode slot 81 also includes a top plate 5, which is integrally connected to the back plate 1 and is used to fix the top edge of the barcode 7. The side of the top plate 5 connected to the back plate 1 is flat, and the side opposite to the barcode 7 is curved, which guides the barcode and facilitates the insertion or removal of the barcode 7 (in implementing this utility model, the curved surface can also be replaced with a slanted surface). The barcode slot 81 also includes a front limiting plate 6, which includes a first front limiting plate 61, a second front limiting plate 62, and a third front limiting plate 63.

The side of the second front limiting plate 62 is connected to the second side plate 3, and the bottom edge is connected to the bottom plate 4, for fixing the other side of the barcode 7. The third front limiting plate 63 is integrally connected to the bottom plate 4, for fixing the bottom edge of the barcode 7. The first front limiting plate 61, the second front limiting plate 62, and the third front limiting plate 63 are on the same plane as the side of the pallet carrier 8.

[0034] like Figure 2 , 6 As shown, the top of the first front limiting plate 61 and the top of the second front limiting plate 62 are at the same height, and the vertical distance D1 between the top of the first front limiting plate 61, the top of the second front limiting plate 62, and the bottom of the top plate 5 is 6mm. The vertical distance D2 between the top of the third front limiting plate 63 and the top plate 5 is greater than 6mm. At this point, the barcode 7 can be inserted smoothly, and the coverage length of the barcode by the first front limiting plate 61 and the second front limiting plate 62 is relatively long, resulting in strong limiting capability.

[0035] Example 2: Reference Figure 1 , 4 -5, 7-9.

[0036] like Figure 4 and 5As shown, the barcode slot 81 includes a back plate 1, which faces the back of the barcode 7. The barcode 7 is designed with an adhesive layer and can be fixed to the back plate 1 by adhesive. The barcode slot 81 also includes a first side plate 2, which faces one side of the barcode 7; the barcode slot 81 also includes a second side plate 2, which faces the other side of the barcode 7; the barcode slot 81 also includes a bottom plate 4, which faces the bottom edge of the barcode 7; the bottom plate 4 is provided with a hollow structure 41 to facilitate pushing the barcode 7 out of the barcode slot 81 from the bottom. In this embodiment, the hollow structure 41 is a trapezoidal hollow structure with one side length shorter than that of the barcode. The barcode slot 81 also includes a top plate 5, which is integrally connected to the back plate 1 and is used to fix the top edge of the barcode 7. The side of the top plate 5 connected to the back plate 1 is flat, and the side opposite to the barcode 7 is curved, which guides the barcode 7 and facilitates its insertion or removal (in implementing this utility model, the curved surface can also be replaced with a slanted surface). This embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that the barcode slot 81 also includes a front limiting plate 6, which is integrally formed with the pallet carrier 8 and protrudes relative to the side plane of the pallet carrier 8, having a certain thickness for enhanced limiting. The front limiting plate 6 includes a first front limiting plate 61, a second front limiting plate 62, and at least one third front limiting plate 63. In this embodiment, two third front limiting plates 63 are provided. Content not mentioned above is the same as in Embodiment 1.
