Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of barrel manufacturing, specifically relating to an RFID scanning device for barrel filling lines with adjustable orientation. Background Technology

[0002] RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, also known as wireless radio frequency identification, is a non-contact automatic identification technology. It automatically identifies target objects and obtains relevant data through radio frequency signals. RFID scanning equipment on wine barrel bottling lines is installed after bottling to ensure that each bottling barrel is accurately coded. Through a logistics traceability system, it records multi-level distribution and delivery information of products, making market inspection clear and convenient. It also increases user participation through various marketing methods, achieves early warning of counterfeit and cross-selling products, and obtains big data on the market.

[0003] However, existing RFID equipment on stainless steel barrel filling lines has significant limitations in practical applications: Since barrels are mostly loaded manually or in batches mechanically on the conveyor line, the orientation of each barrel entering the scanning area is highly random; when the RFID tag on the barrel is not directly facing the scanner, the scanner struggles to accurately identify the tag information, often resulting in scanning failures or incomplete data readings. To solve this problem, companies typically need to assign dedicated personnel to monitor the scanning process, manually adjusting the barrel orientation or using handheld scanners for supplementary scanning, which not only increases labor costs but also reduces the overall production efficiency of the filling line. Some companies have attempted to expand the recognition range by increasing the reader power, but this method is susceptible to interference from metal equipment in the workshop, reducing scanning accuracy and failing to fundamentally solve the scanning problem caused by inconsistent barrel orientation, severely impacting the operational stability and data reliability of the RFID traceability system. To address these issues, an adjustable-orientation RFID scanning device for barrel filling lines is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] Sensors and readers are installed on the conveyor.

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 The adjustable-orientation RFID scanning device for the barrel filling line in this embodiment has the advantages of high efficiency and high accuracy.

[0021] Specifically, it includes conveyor 1 and elevator 2;

[0022] Sensor 3 and reader 4 are respectively installed on conveyor 1;

[0023] Adjustment mechanism 5 is installed on the lifting shaft of elevator 2;

[0024] Two drive mechanisms 6 are respectively mounted on the adjustment mechanism 5;

[0025] The adjustment mechanism 5 is used to adjust the position of the two drive mechanisms 6, which are used to rotate the barrel.

[0026] In this embodiment, both sensor 3 and reader 4 are connected to an external controller and controlled by the controller before use (existing technology). When a barrel is placed on conveyor 1, conveyor 1 can transport the barrels to one side one by one. When a barrel passes through the detection range of sensor 3, elevator 2 drives adjustment mechanism 5 to descend and fit two drive mechanisms 6 onto the outer wall of the barrel. Then, adjustment mechanism 5 drives the two drive mechanisms 6 to retract, so as to move the drive mechanisms 6 to contact the barrel and finally clamp it. When the two drive mechanisms 6 are energized, they can drive the barrel to rotate, so as to adjust the orientation of the barrel. After rotating to the position relative to the reader 4, the adjustment mechanism 5 and the elevator 2 are reset after the reading is completed. The conveyor 1 then moves the next barrel to the underside of the adjustment mechanism 5. This process is repeated to scan the RFID tag on each barrel one by one and adjust the orientation of the barrel so that it is aligned with the reader 4. This eliminates the need for manual adjustment or manual scanning, thereby improving efficiency and scanning accuracy. If the friction coefficient between the barrel and the conveyor 1 is too high to rotate, the barrel can be clamped by the two drive mechanisms 6, and then the elevator 2 can be used to lift the barrel a certain distance before driving it to rotate.

[0027] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The adjusting mechanism 5 includes a mounting plate 51 mounted on the lifting shaft of the elevator 2; two fixed brackets 52 respectively mounted on the mounting plate 51; a bidirectional screw 53 rotatably mounted between the two fixed brackets 52 and passing through the two fixed brackets 52 at both ends; a servo motor 54 mounted on the outer wall of one of the fixed brackets 52, the output end of which is connected to the bidirectional screw 53; two movable plates 55 respectively threaded onto the bidirectional screw 53 and slidably passing through the mounting plate 51; and a slide rod 56 mounted between the two fixed brackets 52 and slidably passing through the two movable plates 55.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the adjusting mechanism 5 moves above the barrel under the drive of the elevator 2, the servo motor 54 is energized and drives the bidirectional screw 53 to rotate. Under the drive of the screw, the two moving plates 55 retract, thereby driving the two driving mechanisms 6 to move closer to the center and finally contact the barrel.

[0029] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The mounting plate 51 has two sliding holes 7 for the movable plate 55 to pass through, and the width and diameter of the sliding holes 7 are matched with those of the movable plate 55.

[0030] In this embodiment, the sliding rod 56 and the sliding hole 7 can limit the movement of the moving plate 55 by sliding between them when the moving plate 55 moves, so as to prevent the moving plate 55 from rotating with the bidirectional screw 53 without moving laterally.

[0031] Specifically, refer to Figure 3The drive mechanism 6 includes a support frame 61 disposed on one side of the two movable plates 55; two rotating rods 62 that are rotatably passed through the support frame 61; friction wheels 63 sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rods 62, the surface of the friction wheels 63 being made of rubber; a second servo motor 64 disposed at the bottom of the support frame 61, the output end of the second servo motor 64 being connected to one of the rotating rods 62; two transmission wheels 65 disposed at the top of the rotating rods 62; and the two transmission wheels 65 being connected by a transmission belt 66.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the two friction wheels 63 come into contact with the barrel, the servo motor 64 is energized and turned on. Through the transmission wheel 65 and the transmission belt 66, the two rotating rods 62 drive the friction wheels 63 to rotate in sequence. When the friction wheels 63 rotate, they can drive the barrel to rotate through the friction between them and the barrel, thereby adjusting the orientation of the barrel.
