[0002] In today's booming e-commerce landscape, the efficiency of goods circulation directly impacts operational effectiveness. As a crucial node in the digitization of goods information, scanning and data entry devices play a decisive role in the automation of e-commerce warehousing and logistics. Efficient and accurate scanning and data entry not only ensures the accurate recording of product information but also significantly improves the efficiency of goods sorting and delivery, thereby enhancing the market competitiveness of e-commerce companies.

[0003] Existing e-commerce scanning and data entry equipment is constantly undergoing technological innovation. For example, the utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN222081527U realizes automatic delivery of goods through a conveyor belt and drive motor, uses components such as blocking parts and bidirectional lead screws to limit the position of goods, and uses mounting plates and mounting frames to adjust the height of the scanner to adapt to the scanning needs of goods of different heights, thereby improving the convenience of scanning operations and the applicability of the equipment to a certain extent. However, in the high-frequency operation scenarios of actual e-commerce warehousing and logistics, this type of equipment still has shortcomings in terms of scanner height adjustment. The bolt-fixed height adjustment method it adopts is a discrete adjustment, which can only achieve a limited range of height adjustments.

[0018] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0019] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0020] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] Example 1 Reference Figure 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an e-commerce scanning and input device, including a scanning device 1. The scanning device 1 includes a support frame 101, a conveyor roller 102, a conveyor motor 103, a conveyor belt 104, a mounting plate 105, and a scanner 106. Two conveyor rollers are provided and are movably connected to the left and right sides inside the support frame 101, respectively. The conveyor belt 104 is drivenly connected to the surfaces of the two conveyor rollers 102. The conveyor motor 103 is fixedly installed on the left side of the front of the support frame 101. The output end of the conveyor motor 103 is fixedly connected to the front end of the left conveyor roller 102. The mounting plate 105 is located above the conveyor belt 104, and the scanner 106 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 105. And, scanning height automatic adjustment mechanism 2, scanning height automatic adjustment mechanism 2 includes support plate 21, support plate 21 is fixedly connected to the back of support frame 101, the top of support plate 21 is movably connected to lead screw 22 through bearing, lifting frame 23 is threadedly connected to the surface of lead screw 22, the back of mounting plate 105 is fixedly connected to the front of lifting frame 23, driving assembly 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the surface of lead screw 22, and limit assembly 25 is provided on the left and right sides inside the lifting frame 23; The object height detection mechanism 3 is located on the right side of the back of the support frame 101.

[0022] Specifically, the automatic scanning height adjustment mechanism 2 enables continuous dynamic adjustment of the scanner 106 height, adapting to the dynamic changes in the height of goods in e-commerce operations without stopping the machine, ensuring the continuity of assembly line operations and significantly improving the overall operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0023] Furthermore, during equipment operation, the conveyor motor 103 starts, driving the left conveyor roller 102 to rotate, and the conveyor belt 104 transports the goods from the left side of the support frame 101 to the right side. During this process, the item height detection mechanism 3 detects the height of the goods in real time. If a change in the height of the goods is detected, the control terminal 34 receives the signal and starts the drive assembly 24 to drive the lead screw 22 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 22 causes the lifting frame 23 to move up and down along the lead screw 22, thereby driving the mounting plate 105 and the scanner 106 fixed at its bottom to adjust their height, so as to realize the scanning and recording of goods of different heights.

[0024] Example 2 The second embodiment of this utility model provides an e-commerce scanning and input device. The item detection mechanism includes a first fixing plate 31, which is fixedly installed on the right side of the back of the support frame 101. An infrared sensor 32 is fixedly installed on the front of the first fixing plate 31. Multiple infrared sensors 32 are arranged vertically and at equal distances. A reflector plate 33 is fixedly installed on the right side of the front of the support frame 101. The detection end of the infrared sensor 32 is aligned with the reflector plate 33. A control terminal 34 is fixedly installed on the back of the lifting frame 23. The control terminal 34 is electrically connected to the infrared sensor 32 through a wire.

[0025] Specifically, the item height detection mechanism 3 can accurately and in real time detect the height of goods. Compared with existing technologies, it provides reliable data support for the automatic adjustment of the height of the scanner 106, ensuring that the scanner 106 is always at a suitable height to scan the goods, improving the accuracy and efficiency of scanning, and avoiding scanning errors caused by inaccurate detection of the height of goods.

[0026] Furthermore, when the goods move on the conveyor belt 104, multiple infrared sensors 32 emit infrared signals. The signals are reflected back to the infrared sensors 32 after being reflected by the reflector 33. If the goods partially block the infrared signals, the unblocked infrared sensors 32 transmit the signals to the control terminal 34. The control terminal 34 calculates the height of the goods based on the position of the infrared sensors 32 that receive the signals, thereby providing an adjustment basis for the automatic scanning height adjustment mechanism 2.

[0027] Example 3 The second embodiment of this utility model provides an e-commerce scanning and input device. The driving component 24 includes a driven wheel 241, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the surface of the lead screw 22. A driving wheel 242 is provided on the back of the driven wheel 241. The driving wheel 242 is connected to the driven wheel 241 by a belt. A driving motor 243 is provided on the top of the driving wheel 242. The output end of the driving motor 243 is fixedly connected to the driving wheel 242. The driving motor 243 is electrically connected to the control terminal 34 by a wire.

[0028] Specifically, the drive assembly 24 is driven by a belt, which ensures smooth transmission and effectively transmits the power of the drive motor 243 to the lead screw 22, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the height of the scanner 106.

[0029] Furthermore, when the control terminal 34 determines whether the height of the scanner 106 needs to be adjusted based on the cargo height information transmitted by the cargo height detection mechanism 3, if adjustment is required, the control terminal 34 sends a command to the drive motor 243, the drive motor 243 starts, drives the drive wheel 242 to rotate, the drive wheel 242 transmits power to the driven wheel 241 through the belt, the driven wheel 241 drives the lead screw 22 to rotate, thereby realizing the lifting of the lifting frame 23, and thus adjusting the height of the scanner 106.

[0030] Working principle: After the e-commerce scanning and input device is started, the conveyor motor 103 is powered on and runs, driving the left conveyor roller 102 to rotate. The conveyor roller 102, through friction with the conveyor belt 104, drives the conveyor belt 104 to run smoothly in a clockwise direction, forming a goods conveying channel to await goods entering the device. When goods are placed on the conveyor belt 104, as the conveyor belt 104 moves, the goods are conveyed from the right side of the support frame 101 to the left. During the movement of the goods, multiple vertically and equidistantly arranged infrared sensors 32 continuously emit infrared signals. These signals are directed towards the reflector 33, reflected back to the infrared sensors 32. If the goods partially block the infrared signals, the unblocked infrared sensors... The infrared sensor 32 will then transmit the signal to the control terminal 34 fixed on the back of the lifting frame 23. Based on the position of the infrared sensor 32 receiving the signal, the control terminal 34 uses a pre-set algorithm to accurately calculate the height of the goods. After obtaining the goods height information, the control terminal 34 compares it with the current height of the scanner 106. If it determines that the height of the scanner 106 does not match the goods height, the control terminal 34 will immediately send a start command to the drive motor 243. Upon receiving the command, the drive motor 243 starts running, driving the drive wheel 242 to rotate. The drive wheel 242 transmits power to the driven wheel 241 via a belt, and the driven wheel 241 then drives the lead screw 22 to rotate. Because the lead screw 22 and the lifting frame 23 are connected, the control terminal 34 immediately sends a start command to the drive motor 243. The drive motor 243 then starts running, driving the drive wheel 242 to rotate. The drive wheel 242 transmits power to the driven wheel 241 via a belt, and the driven wheel 241 in turn drives the lead screw 22 to rotate. The lifting frame 23 is connected by a thread. When the lead screw 22 rotates, the lifting frame 23 moves up and down along the axial direction of the lead screw 22, thereby driving the mounting plate 105 and the scanner 106 fixed at its bottom to adjust their height synchronously. During the operation of the drive motor 243, the second fixing plate 4 ensures the stability of the drive motor 243. During the movement of the lifting frame 23, the limiting rod 252 slides in the limiting hole 251 to ensure that the lifting frame 23 can only move smoothly along the axial direction of the lead screw 22, avoiding deviation or shaking. After the scanner 106 is adjusted to the appropriate height, the goods continue to move on the conveyor belt 104. The scanner 106 scans and records the goods, quickly and accurately transferring the goods information. The data is converted into electronic data, completing the entire scanning and input process. During this process, the first reinforcing plate 5 strengthens the connection between the mounting plate 105 and the lifting frame 23, and the second reinforcing plate 6 strengthens the connection between the first fixing plate 31 and the support frame 101, ensuring the stability of each component during operation. The limiting block 7 at the top of the limiting rod 252 prevents the lifting frame 23 from disengaging from the limiting rod 252 when it moves upward, providing a safety guarantee for the operation of the equipment. (It should be noted that the specific working principle of the scanner 106 can be found in the utility model patent with patent authorization announcement number CN222081527U, which belongs to the existing known disclosed technology and will not be elaborated on here.)

[0031] In summary, by combining the automatic scanning height adjustment mechanism 2 and the item height detection mechanism 3, the scanner 106 achieves dynamic and precise height adjustment, effectively solving the problems of discrete adjustment and the need to stop the machine for adjustment in traditional equipment.
