[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0031] See Figures 1-4 In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, based on the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, a light-shielding barcode scanning fixture for sensors is provided, comprising:

[0032] The jig body 1 has a light-proof space inside;

[0033] The sensor base 2 is installed in the light-proof space inside the fixture body 1. The sensor base 2 is provided with a support platform 221 for placing the sensor element A to be scanned. The sensor element A to be scanned has a scannable identification code etched on it.

[0034] The barcode scanner 3 is installed inside the fixture body 1, and the scanning range of the barcode scanner 3 faces the support platform 221.

[0035] Specifically, the identification codes etched on the existing sensor housings are completely identical in color, material, and other characteristics to the sensor housings, making them impossible to clearly identify when scanned directly under normal testing conditions. Furthermore, there is currently no suitable light-proof scanning fixture available in the existing technology.

[0036] Based on this, this embodiment designs a light-shielding barcode scanning fixture specifically for sensors. The light-shielding barcode scanning fixture mainly consists of a fixture body 1, a sensor base 2, and a barcode scanner 3. The fixture body 1 has a dedicated light-shielding space inside, which is like a "dark room" and can block the entry of external light, providing a light-shielding test environment for subsequent barcode scanning operations and avoiding interference from external light. The sensor base 2 is installed in the light-shielding space inside the fixture body 1, and the sensor element A is placed on the support platform 221 on the surface of the sensor base 2.

[0037] Inside the fixture body 1, a barcode scanner 3 is also installed. When the sensor element A is placed on the support platform 221, the barcode scanner 3 can clearly and accurately scan the identification code on the sensor element A in a light-proof environment, thereby obtaining sensor information.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fixture body 1 includes:

[0039] Base plate 11;

[0040] The cover plate 12 is fixed on the base plate 11, and the cover plate 12 and the base plate 11 form an opening for inserting and removing the sensor element A to be scanned;

[0041] A light-shielding plate 13 is provided at the opening. The light-shielding plate 13 is movably connected to the cover plate 12 and can be opened and closed. The light-shielding plate 13 covers the bottom plate 11 to form a light-shielding space.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixture body includes an opening for inserting and removing the sensor element A to be scanned, and an openable and closable light-shielding plate 13 is provided at the opening. When the light-shielding plate 13 is closed, a light-proof space is formed inside the fixture body 1, providing an ideal lighting environment for the scanning operation of the sensor element A and ensuring that the scanning process is not interfered with by external light. When the light-shielding plate 13 is open, the operator can place the sensor element A to be scanned into the fixture or remove the scanned sensor element A, facilitating subsequent operation procedures.

[0043] The base plate 11 is the basic support structure of the entire fixture body 1, providing a stable and reliable installation platform for other components, such as the sensor base 2, barcode scanner 3, and cover plate 12 mentioned above, all of which are installed on the base plate 11.

[0044] The cover plate 12 is composed of three plates, which are arranged perpendicularly to each other in pairs. To ensure the strength and stability of the connection, the three plates can be connected by welding. The cover plate 12 is fixed to the base plate 11 with fasteners such as bolts, and the two together form the aforementioned opening, which facilitates the insertion and removal of the sensor element A to be scanned.

[0045] Furthermore, the base plate 11, cover plate 12, and light shield 13 are all made of materials with light-shielding properties, providing a light-shielding testing environment for sensor scanning.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the light-shielding plate 13 is movably connected to the cover plate 12 via a hinge.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the light-shielding plate 13 is connected to the cover plate 12 via a hinge, allowing it to be opened and closed. The operator can directly apply force to the light-shielding plate 13 to control its opening and closing.

[0048] To further optimize the ease of operation, a first opening 131 can be made on the light shield 13. This opening is specifically designed for testers to lift the light shield 13, providing testers with a convenient point of leverage, enabling them to open and close the light shield 13 more easily and conveniently.

[0049] In addition to opening the first opening 131, a handle (not shown in the figure) can be added to the light shield 13. The shape, size and position of the handle can be designed with ergonomic principles in mind to fit the gripping habits of the tester's hand, further improving the comfort and operational efficiency of the tester when lifting the light shield 13.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the sensor base 2 is slidably mounted inside the fixture body 1 so as to slide into the scanning range of the barcode scanner 3.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the sensor base 2 is slidably mounted on the base plate 11, allowing the sensor base 2 to move inside the fixture body 1. When the sensor base 2 slides into the scanning range of the barcode scanner 3, the barcode scanner 3 can scan the sensor element A placed on the sensor base 2.

[0052] To enable the sensor base 2 to slide, a slider (not shown in the figure) and a guide rail 4 are also provided. The guide rail 4 is fixed on the base plate 11 and extends from the opening toward the direction of the barcode scanner. The slider is fixed to the bottom of the sensor base 2, and the slider and the guide rail 4 cooperate with each other. When the slider slides along the guide rail 4, it will drive the sensor base 2 to move synchronously.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the fixture body 1 has a fixed bracket 6 inside, and a barcode scanner 3 is installed on the fixed bracket 6.

[0054] Specifically, the fixed bracket 6 is in the form of a column. One end of the column-shaped fixed bracket 6 is fixedly installed on the base plate 11, and the other end can be fixedly installed on the upper cover plate 12 or can be suspended in the air.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment, the fixed bracket 6 is provided with a first connector 7, and the barcode scanner 3 is mounted on the first connector 7 via a second connector 8.

[0056] Specifically, the first connector 7 is cylindrical in shape, and the cylindrical first connector 7 has a hole inside. The hole inside the first connector 7 is fitted onto the fixed bracket 6 and fixedly installed with the first connector 7.

[0057] The first connector 7 can be fixed to the fixed bracket 6 by means of a threaded connection. Of course, in other embodiments, other means of fixing can also be used, such as a pin connection.

[0058] The second connector 8 can be L-shaped. One end of the L-shaped second connector 8 is mounted on the barcode scanner 3, and the other end is mounted on the cylindrical end face of the first connector 7.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sensor base 2 includes a first mounting block 21. The bottom of the first mounting block 21 is fixed on the slider, and the upper surface of the first mounting block 21 serves as a support platform 221 for placing the sensor element A to be scanned.

[0060] Furthermore, the sensor base 2 also includes a second mounting block 22, which is fixed on the first mounting block 21. The second mounting block 22 can block the first opening 131 on the light shield 13, preventing light from entering the internal space through the first opening 131, and providing a light-proof testing environment for the scanning operation.

[0061] The second mounting block 22 is perpendicular to the first mounting block 21. The vertical projection of the second mounting block 22 on the base plate 11 does not coincide with the vertical projection of the light shield 13 on the base plate 11 when it is closed, thus avoiding interference of the second mounting block 22 with the closing action of the light shield 13 and ensuring a light-proof environment inside the fixture.

[0062] In a preferred embodiment, the support platform 221 is a wedge-shaped groove recessed into the surface of the sensor base 2.

[0063] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the wedge-shaped groove can be V-shaped. The two side walls of the V-shape extend downwards at a certain angle. When sensor element A is placed in the V-shaped wedge-shaped groove, the two side walls of the V-shape can clamp and position sensor element A.

[0064] Of course, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the wedge-shaped groove can also adopt a U-shaped or square design. This utility model embodiment does not limit the specific shape of the wedge-shaped groove.

[0065] Furthermore, a positioning detection component can be provided inside the fixture body 1. The positioning detection component is located between the sensor base 2 and the barcode scanner 3 and can detect whether the sensor base 2 has reached the scanning range of the barcode scanner 3.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the fixture body 1 is further provided with a photoelectric sensor 5.

[0067] Specifically, in this embodiment, the positioning detection component can be implemented using a photoelectric sensor. The photoelectric sensor 5 is located between the sensor base 2 and the barcode scanner 3, and the photoelectric sensor 5 is securely connected to the base plate 11 with glue.

[0068] Furthermore, the fixture may also include a controller (not shown in the figure), which is electrically connected to the barcode scanner 3 and the photoelectric sensor 5, respectively. When a scanning operation is required, the sensor base 2 is pushed to move along the guide rail 4. As the sensor base 2 gradually moves forward, when it covers the photoelectric sensor 5, the controller can control the barcode scanner 3 to start the scanning function to scan and identify sensor element A. When the sensor base 2 is pulled out, or when the barcode scanner 3 successfully completes the scanning task, the controller can control the barcode scanner 3 to stop scanning.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, the device further includes a power supply 9, which is electrically connected to the barcode scanner 3.

[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment, a power supply 9 is provided inside the fixture, and the power supply 9 is electrically connected to the barcode scanner 3, the photoelectric sensor 5, and the controller to provide stable power support for the fixture.

[0071] Furthermore, a light source can be installed inside the fixture. The light source can be installed on the second connector 8 and located on both sides of the barcode scanner 3, and the light source is electrically connected to the controller.

[0072] The sensor base 2, barcode scanner 3, power supply 9, and light source mentioned above can all be connected using hex bolts to ensure a secure connection.

[0073] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cover plate 12 is also provided with a second opening 121, which is located on the side of the cover plate 12 opposite to the light shield 13. The second opening 121 can serve as a heat dissipation channel, which can dissipate the heat generated by the internal power supply and other components of the fixture during operation.

[0074] In addition, some light will enter the internal space of the fixture through the second opening 121, but because the opening is small, this part of the light will not interfere with the scanning operation.

[0075] In a preferred embodiment, the identification code is a barcode or a QR code.

[0076] Specifically, in this embodiment, the identification code on the sensor element A to be scanned can be a barcode or a QR code to meet different scanning requirements.

[0077] The working principle of this utility model's light-shielding barcode scanning fixture is as follows:

[0078] After placing the sensor element A to be scanned on the support platform 221 of the sensor base 2, push the sensor base 2 forward. When it covers the photoelectric sensor 5, the barcode scanner 3 will automatically start scanning. When the sensor base 2 is pulled out or the scan is successful, the barcode scanner 3 will automatically stop scanning. The operation is simple and convenient, improving scanning efficiency.

[0079] The advantages or beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: The light-shielding barcode scanning fixture of this utility model constructs a light-shielding space inside the fixture body to isolate external light interference. With the support platform, the sensor element with the etched identification code is placed in the light-shielding environment. At the same time, the barcode scanner is integrated inside the fixture and the scanning range is aligned with the support platform, thereby realizing the scanning of the identification code of the sensor element under light-shielding conditions, avoiding the influence of light on the scanning accuracy, and improving the scanning success rate.

[0080] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made using the content of this specification and illustrations should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
