Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of code reading and marking technology, and in particular to a fast code reading and marking device. Background Technology

[0002] Each data cable product has a unique identification information, which is laser-engraved on the outer surface of the data cable product as a string and stored inside the data cable product as a string. If the operation of printing a QR code label bound to the data cable product and affixing it is to be performed, the identification information of the data cable product must first be obtained. Since the laser-engraved identification information is very small and not easily identifiable by the naked eye, the identification information of the data cable product can only be obtained by communicating with the data cable product, integrating it into the QR code, and transmitting it to the coding machine for printing before the label is affixed to the data cable product. This production method requires two people to perform the operations of obtaining the identification information and affixing the code. In addition, the operation of communicating with the data cable product is complex, resulting in low overall execution efficiency and long production time. Utility Model Content

[0020] To explain in detail the technical content, structural features, objectives and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model discloses a fast code reading and marking device for converting a string on the connector 100 of a data cable 10 into a QR code. The connector 100 includes a flat plug 101 and a connecting shell 102 arranged along its length direction, and includes:

[0022] Limiting module 1, the limiting module 1 is provided with a limiting channel 11 extending in the longitudinal direction. When the connector 100 passes through the limiting channel 11, the two inner sidewalls of the limiting channel 11 that are opposite to each other in the transverse direction are respectively attached to the two opposite sides of the connecting shell 102.

[0023] The first photographing module 21 and the second photographing module 22 are respectively disposed on both sides of the limiting module 1 along the lateral direction. The first photographing module 21 and the second photographing module 22 are respectively used to take pictures of the opposite sides of the connector 101 to obtain the first image and the second image.

[0024] The data processor 3 is communicatively connected to the first image module 21 and the second image module 22. The data processor 3 is equipped with a text recognition module 31, which is used to recognize strings in the first image and the second image to obtain string information. The data processor 3 is used to generate QR code information based on the string information.

[0025] Printer 4 is connected to data processor 3 and is used to print a QR code label based on QR code information.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, this utility model obtains the identity information of the data cable 10 by taking pictures of the connector 100 of the data cable 10 and performing text recognition on the strings in the images. The connector 100 is inserted into the limiting channel 11 of the limiting module 1, so that the inner sidewall of the limiting channel 11 fits against the connecting shell 102 of the connector 100. The first and second photography modules 21 and 22, which are set on both sides of the limiting module 1, take pictures of the opposite sides of the connector 100's plug 101 to obtain the first and second images. The text recognition module 31 of the data processor 3 is responsible for recognizing the strings in the first and second images to obtain the string information. The data processor 3 is responsible for generating QR code information based on the string information. The printer 4 is responsible for printing a QR code label based on the QR code information, thereby realizing the rapid acquisition of the string information of the data cable 10 and the rapid printing of the QR code label. This can effectively save production time, improve production efficiency, save manpower and reduce production costs.

[0027] It should be noted that the text recognition module 31 uses existing text recognition technology in images to recognize the first and second images, so as to quickly recognize the strings of laser engraving on the data cable 10 that are not easily observed by the naked eye by relying on vision instead of human eyes. The data processor 3 uses existing technology to integrate text into QR codes to generate QR code information corresponding to the recognized strings, and automatically communicates with the printer 4 to print QR code labels in real time to ensure one item, one code.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 3The fast code reading and marking device also includes a controller 5 and a position sensor 6. The controller 5 is communicatively connected to the position sensor 6, the first image-taking module 21, and the second image-taking module 22. The position sensor 6 is used to send a trigger signal to the controller 5 when it detects that the connector 100 passes through the limiting channel 11. The controller 5 is used to send image-taking commands to the first image-taking module 21 and the second image-taking module 22 according to the trigger signal, so as to realize that the first image-taking module 21 and the second image-taking module 22 automatically take pictures after the connector 100 of the data cable 10 is placed in the limiting module 1.

[0029] Furthermore, the position sensor 6 includes a photoelectric transmitter 61 and a photoelectric receiver 62 fixedly connected to the limiting module 1. The limiting channel 11 has a through hole 12 extending laterally and penetrating outward on both of its two laterally opposite inner sidewalls. The emitting end of the photoelectric transmitter 61 is correspondingly set with one of the through holes 12, and the photoelectric transmitter 61 is used to emit a light beam. The receiving end of the photoelectric receiver 62 is correspondingly set with the other through hole 12, and the photoelectric receiver 62 is communicatively connected to the controller 5. The photoelectric receiver 62 is used to send a trigger signal to the controller 5 when it does not receive the light beam emitted by the photoelectric transmitter 61. The cooperation of the photoelectric transmitter 61 and the photoelectric receiver 62 is conducive to accurately sensing that the connector 100 of the data line 10 is in the limiting channel 11.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the connector 100 of the data cable 10 is inserted into the limiting channel 11 of the limiting module 1, the connector 102 will block the light beam emitted by the photoelectric transmitter 61 from reaching the other through hole 12 from one through hole 12 of the limiting module 1, thereby preventing the photoelectric receiver 62 from receiving the light beam emitted by the photoelectric transmitter 61 and sending a trigger signal to the controller 5. However, it is not limited to this. In some embodiments, the position sensor 6 can also be an ultrasonic sensor, a pressure sensor, or an infrared sensor.

[0031] See Figures 1 to 3 The limiting module 1 includes a support frame 13 and a limiting block 14 disposed on the upper surface of the support frame 13. A first channel 141 extending laterally is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the limiting block 14. A second channel 142 extending longitudinally and forming a limiting channel 11 is provided in the middle of one side of the upper surface of the limiting block 14. One end of the second channel 142 is connected to the first channel 141. A connecting shell 102 is disposed in the second channel 142, and a plug 101 is disposed in the first channel 141. This helps to limit the position of the plug 101 extending out of the limiting channel 11, so that the imaging module can accurately capture the two opposite sides of the plug 101.

[0032] Furthermore, the upper surface of the limiting block 14 is provided with a first guide slope 143 on the side away from the second channel 142, which is inclined toward the first channel 141 and connected to the inner wall of the first channel 141.

[0033] Furthermore, on the side of the upper surface of the limiting block 14 near the second channel 142, there are two second guide slopes 144 that are inclined towards the second channel 142 and connected to the inner wall of the second channel 142.

[0034] The aforementioned first guide slope 143 and second guide slope 144 facilitate the alignment of the plug 101 and connecting shell 102 with the first channel 141 and the second channel 142 respectively when the connector 100 is installed to the limiting block 14, thereby improving installation efficiency.

[0035] See Figures 1 to 3 Both the first photographing module 21 and the second photographing module 22 include a lens 23 and an industrial camera 24. The lens 23 is located at one end of the industrial camera 24 near the limiting block 14. The lens 23 and the industrial camera 24 are coaxially arranged with the first channel 141, which is beneficial for accurately photographing the laser-engraved string on the connector 101 of the connector 100.

[0036] Furthermore, the rapid code reading and marking device also includes a first light source module 251 and a second light source module 252. The first light source module 251 is disposed between the first imaging module 21 and the limiting module 1, and the second light source module 252 is disposed between the second imaging module 22 and the limiting module 1. Both the first light source module 251 and the second light source module 252 are provided with a light transmission channel 253. The light transmission channel 253 is coaxially arranged with the first channel 141, which is conducive to clearly capturing the laser-engraved string on the connector 101 of the connector 100.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first light source module 251 and the second light source module 252 are existing coaxial light sources. One end of the light transmission channel 253 of the first light source module 251 and the second light source module 252 faces the limiting module 1, the other end of the first light source module 251 faces the lens 23 of the first imaging module 21, and the other end of the second light source module 252 faces the lens 23 of the second imaging module 22. Both ends of the light transmission channel 253 of the first light source module 251 and the second light source module 252 are provided with a lens 254, but it is not limited to this.

[0038] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the scope of the present utility model application shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
