Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a device for scanning and binding barcodes on electricity meters. Background Technology

[0002] To better manufacture and manage electricity meters, barcodes need to be installed on them. One barcode on the product casing serves as a production process control code, and the other is a PCB barcode. The PCB barcode becomes unreadable after the casing is installed and needs to be linked to the casing barcode information. Subsequent processes can then visually identify and trace the batch information of all components on the PCB by scanning the casing barcode. The barcodes are affixed to one side of the electricity meter according to customer requirements, but their placement may sometimes be off-center. Currently, this typically requires manual scanning with a handheld barcode scanner to scan each barcode on the meter casing and link it to the system. This method is labor-intensive and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art, the present invention provides a device that can automatically scan and bind the electricity meter.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] An automatic barcode scanning and binding device for electricity meters includes a transport track for transporting products. A first baffle and a second baffle are sequentially mounted above the transport track. The bottom of the first baffle and the second baffle are provided with height-limiting channels for products to lie flat and pass through. A transverse track is provided above the transport track and between the first baffle and the second baffle. A stop bar is provided on the transport track downstream of the first baffle to prevent the products from moving forward. A clamping device is provided above the stop bar. The clamping device is connected to a lifting cylinder that drives its up and down movement. The lifting cylinder is located on the transverse track and is connected to the transverse transport cylinder. A first scanning camera and a second scanning camera are respectively provided on both sides of the second baffle, and the two scanning angles are different.

[0006] Preferably, guide rails are provided on both sides of the transport track surface at the upstream position of the baffle. The input port of the guide rail is flared, and its diameter gradually decreases from the outside to the inside. The guide rail is provided with a clamping notch corresponding to the position of the clamping device.

[0007] Preferably, the first scanning camera is located on the side of the second baffle closer to the first baffle, and the second scanning camera is located on the side of the second baffle away from the first baffle. Its position is lower than that of the first scanning camera, and its scanning direction passes through the height restriction channel at the bottom of the second baffle.

[0008] Preferably, the lifting cylinder is connected to the transverse transport cylinder via a fixing plate, the fixing plate having a longitudinally oriented strip hole, and the lifting cylinder being bolted to the strip hole.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping device includes a first clamping block and a second clamping block, and rubber pads are fixed on the opposite surfaces of the first clamping block and the second clamping block, respectively.

[0010] In this application, after the electricity meter is transported from upstream to the transport track of the device, it is stopped from moving forward by the stop bar after passing the first baffle. The clamping device clamps it and transports it to the position of the second baffle for scanning and binding. After that, it is lowered back to the motion track and outputs electricity.

[0011] The advantages of this invention are as follows: This invention can automatically clamp the energy meter near the scanning camera, and is equipped with two scanning cameras to scan from different angles before binding. This invention enables automatic barcode binding, eliminating the need for manual operation of a barcode scanner, thus increasing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0013] Figure 2 This is a side view schematic diagram of the clamping device of this utility model in two states. Detailed Implementation

[0014] The utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, an automatic barcode scanning and binding device for electricity meters includes a transport track 10 for transporting products. A first baffle 11 and a second baffle 5 are sequentially mounted above the transport track. Height-limiting channels 4 are provided at the bottom of the first and second baffles to allow the products to pass horizontally. These channels ensure the electricity meters can pass horizontally, and their width allows passage in a specific direction. A transverse track 8 is located above the transport track and between the first and second baffles. A baffle bar 2 is positioned downstream of the first baffle on the transport track to prevent the products from moving forward. A clamping device 3 is located above the baffle bar 2 and connected to a lifting cylinder 12 that drives its up-and-down movement. The lifting cylinder 12 is located on the transverse track and connected to a transverse transport cylinder 9. A first scanning camera 13 and a second scanning camera 14 are respectively located on both sides of the second baffle, with different scanning angles. The barcode on the electricity meter may be affixed to the left or right side. The electricity meter is transported by the clamping device to the vicinity of the scanning cameras, where the first and second scanning cameras scan their respective areas, binding the meter through the system.

[0016] Guide rails 1 are respectively provided on both sides of the transport track surface upstream of the baffle 2. The input port of the guide rail is flared, and its diameter gradually decreases from the outside to the inside. The guide rail is provided with a clamping notch corresponding to the position of the clamping device. The guide rail can ensure that the energy meter is transported in the corresponding placement posture.

[0017] The first scanning camera 13 is located on the side of the second baffle closer to the first baffle, and the second scanning camera 14 is located on the side of the second baffle away from the first baffle. Its position is lower than that of the first scanning camera, and its scanning direction passes through the height restriction channel at the bottom of the second baffle.

[0018] The lifting cylinder 12 is connected to the transverse transport cylinder via a fixing plate 6. The fixing plate 6 has a longitudinally oriented strip hole 7. The lifting cylinder is locked to the strip hole by bolts, which allows the height of the lifting cylinder to be adjusted to a certain extent. The clamping device includes a first clamping block and a second clamping block, and rubber pads are fixed on the opposite surfaces of the first clamping block and the second clamping block, respectively.

[0019] Figure 1 , 2 The clamping device was shown in two positions simultaneously, and Figure 1 The first baffle was not shown in the image.

[0020] The specific process of barcode scanning and binding is as follows: The electricity meter is transported from the upstream process to the transport track. Guided by guide rail 1, the electricity meter is transported in the required posture. The height restriction channels 4 of the first and second baffles also ensure that the meter is transported in the appropriate posture. When the electricity meter reaches baffle 2, it stops. The clamping device 3 moves down and clamps the electricity meter via lifting cylinder 12, and then transports it to the vicinity of the height restriction channel of the second baffle via transverse transport cylinder 9. Scanning cameras are installed on both sides of the second baffle, and the scanning angles of the two cameras are different, which ensures that the barcode on the electricity meter is scanned and entered into the system for binding. The clamping device releases the electricity meter, and the electricity meter passes through the second baffle and proceeds to the next process. The clamping device then resets to the downstream position of the first baffle.

[0021] In addition, the first and second baffles have a certain light-blocking effect to avoid light interference.

[0022] This invention can automatically clamp the energy meter near a scanning camera, and is equipped with two scanning cameras to scan from different angles before binding. This invention enables automatic barcode binding, eliminating the need for manual operation of a barcode scanner, thus increasing efficiency.
