Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine vision recognition technology, and in particular to a barcode scanning module that can be fixed to barcode scanners of different specifications and can flexibly install barcode scanners with equipment. During operation, the barcode scanner can be suspended at any angle to facilitate barcode reading. Background Technology

[0002] A barcode scanner, also known as a barcode reader or barcode scanner, is a device used to read the information contained in a barcode. It uses optical principles to decode the barcode content and transmits it to a computer or other device via data cable or wirelessly. It is widely used in supermarkets, logistics and express delivery companies, libraries, and other situations requiring the scanning of goods and documents.

[0003] As an indispensable automatic identification device in modern production, logistics, and retail, the design of the mounting bracket directly affects scanning efficiency and user experience. In automated production plants and warehousing logistics environments, barcode scanners need to be installed in specific locations on production lines or equipment, and their scanning angles need to be flexibly adjusted according to different application scenarios to ensure fast and accurate identification of barcodes on items or documents. Therefore, the functionality, flexibility, and convenience of the bracket become key factors affecting the working efficiency of barcode scanning equipment.

[0004] Traditional barcode scanner brackets often employ an integrated fixed structure or a connection method with a limited adjustment range, which presents significant limitations in practical applications. First, many existing barcode scanner brackets have limited angle adjustment capabilities, either only allowing for limited angle adjustments or lacking precise positioning mechanisms or reliable locking mechanisms. This is extremely inconvenient when scanning barcodes at different heights and orientations, requiring staff to repeatedly adjust the bracket and severely reducing work efficiency. Second, the fixing methods of existing barcode scanner brackets are often relatively simple and cannot meet the needs of diverse installation scenarios. Finally, existing barcode scanner brackets also have some issues with structural stability. Some brackets have complex structures or unreasonable designs, making them inconvenient to carry and install, and prone to loosening and shaking, affecting scanning accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art by proposing a barcode scanning module that can be flexibly fixed and suspended at any angle to adapt to barcode scanners of different specifications.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A barcode scanner module is disclosed, which allows for flexible fixing and arbitrary angle hovering of the scanner. The module includes a fixing plate, a scanner mounting plate, and a damping shaft connector positioned between the fixing plate and the mounting plate. The scanner is detachably mounted on the mounting plate. The damping shaft connector includes a shaft bracket connected to the fixing plate and a damping shaft fixed to the mounting plate. The shaft bracket includes a hollow cylindrical portion and a flat plate portion at one end, with the flat plate portion connected and fixed to the fixing plate. The shaft portion of the damping shaft passes through the hollow cylindrical portion, and both ends are connected and fixed to the mounting plate. The mounting plate has multiple sets of screw holes with different structures. The fixing plate also has multiple sets of screw holes and magnets. The fixing plate is secured to the device via fasteners engaging with the screw holes and / or magnets, thereby fixing the barcode scanner module to the device.

[0007] Preferably, the screw mounting holes on the mounting plate include multiple circular screw holes and slots.

[0008] More preferably, the slot includes a straight slot and / or a zigzag slot.

[0009] Preferably, the circular screw holes and slots are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting plate.

[0010] Preferably, the screw mounting holes on the fixing plate include multiple sets of holes with different diameters; the magnets are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixing plate.

[0011] Preferably, the scanning window of the scanner is oriented away from the damping shaft connector.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that the scanning module, which is adaptable to different specifications of barcode scanners and can be flexibly fixed and suspended at any angle, also adopts multiple installation methods when installing barcode scanners, making it convenient to install barcode scanners of different models and sizes, and can adapt to a variety of usage scenarios; when fixing the scanning module to the device, a suitable fixing method can also be selected according to different application scenarios; the structure is simple, the installation is convenient and stable and reliable, and it can realize flexible and multi-angle adjustment of the barcode scanner, which can rotate at any angle and be suspended, greatly improving the working efficiency of the barcode scanner and extending the service life of the bracket, making it suitable for a variety of usage scenarios.

[0015] To provide a better understanding of the purpose, structure, features and functions of this utility model, detailed descriptions are provided below with reference to the embodiments.

[0016] like Figures 1-4 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a barcode scanner module of this invention, which is adaptable to barcode scanners of different specifications, can be flexibly fixed, and can be suspended at any angle. The barcode scanner module includes a fixing plate 1, a barcode scanner mounting plate 2, and a damping shaft connector 4 disposed between the fixing plate 1 and the mounting plate 2. The barcode scanner 3 is detachably mounted on the mounting plate 2. The damping shaft connector 4 includes a shaft bracket 41 connected to the fixing plate 1 and a damping shaft 42. (See also...) Figure 5 The rotating shaft bracket 41 includes a hollow cylindrical portion 411 at one end and a flat plate portion 412, the flat plate portion 412 being connected and fixed to the fixing plate 1; the rotating shaft portion in the middle of the damping rotating shaft 42 passes through the hollow cylindrical portion 411, and both ends are connected and fixed to the mounting plate 2; see also Figure 3 The mounting plate 2 is provided with multiple sets of screw fastening holes with different structures; see also Figure 4 The fixing plate 1 is provided with multiple sets of screw fastening holes 111 and magnets 112. The fixing plate is fixed to the equipment by fasteners and screw fastening holes 111 and / or magnets, thereby fixing the barcode scanning module to the equipment.

[0017] See Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the screw mounting holes on the mounting plate 2 include multiple circular screw holes 212 and slots 211. The slots 211 include straight slots and / or zigzag slots, which facilitates finding suitable screw fixing positions when fixing the barcode scanner. More preferably, the circular screw holes and slots are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting plate. This facilitates the fixing of barcode scanners of different sizes or with different structures to the mounting plate, improving the adaptability of the barcode scanning module to multiple application scenarios.

[0018] In another preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the screw fastening holes 111 of the fixing plate 1 include multiple sets of holes with different diameters; the magnets 112 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixing plate 1. When the fixing plate 1 is installed with the bracket or other equipment on the automated production line, it can be connected and fixed to the equipment mounting end by screws through the screw fastening holes 111, or it can be connected by the magnetic attraction between the magnets 112 and the mounting end, or it can be connected by both the magnets 112 and the screw fastening holes 111 at the same time.

[0019] Specifically, when the material of the device mounting end is non-metallic, the fixing plate 1 is connected to the mounting end using screws through the screw fastening holes 111. In this case, the barcode scanning module is fixedly connected to the mounting end, and the barcode scanning module cannot move, ensuring the installation stability of the barcode scanning module. When the material of the device mounting end is metallic, the fixing plate 1 can be connected to the mounting end using magnets 112. In this case, the barcode scanning module can flexibly move or rotate its working position on the mounting surface of the mounting end, facilitating the barcode scanner 3 to read barcodes at different angles and positions. In this case, i.e., when the material of the device mounting end is metallic, the fixing plate 1 can also be connected to the mounting end using screws through the screw fastening holes 111. This installation method ensures the installation stability and reliability of the barcode scanning module even in harsh working environments, such as environments with high equipment vibration.

[0020] The damping shaft connector 4 in the barcode scanning module of this application uses a damping shaft, which allows the barcode scanner to rotate at any angle within the working plane and hover at any suitable angle. This facilitates the selection of the appropriate scanning angle according to specific application scenarios, thereby enabling accurate scanning and reading of barcodes in different directions and positions. The shaft bracket 41 adopts an independent component design, rather than being integrated with the fixing plate 1. This simplifies the parts manufacturing process and ensures that the mounting plate 2 can drive the barcode scanner 3 to achieve the maximum arbitrary angle rotation within the working plane.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the scanning window of the barcode scanner 3 is oriented away from the damping shaft connector 4, which facilitates barcode scanning and avoids the fixed plate 1 from obstructing the scanning window at certain working angles.

[0022] This utility model discloses a barcode scanning module that can flexibly fix and hover at any angle for barcode scanners of different specifications. The fixing brackets are all sheet-like structures, simple and lightweight, with low material costs, easy to manufacture, portable, and easy to install. The large contact area during installation ensures stability and firmness. The fixing plate and the rotatable mounting plate are connected by a damping shaft connector, allowing the barcode scanner to rotate at any angle and hover, facilitating scanning and reading of barcodes at different angles and positions. Operation is simple and convenient. Various fixing methods are available, including magnetic fixing, screw fixing, or a combination of both, to adapt to different installation environments. Magnetic fixing can be used for installation on lightweight equipment, making installation convenient and easy. The module is movable and can move or rotate on the mounting surface, facilitating repeated and flexible placement. For permanent or semi-permanent installation, screws can be used for secure and stable mounting. In harsh working environments, a combination of magnetic and screw mounting methods can be used for easier, more stable, and safer installation. The scanning module also offers multiple mounting methods to accommodate different models and sizes of scanners, adapting to various usage scenarios. With its simple structure, convenient and reliable installation, and flexible, multi-angle adjustment of the scanner, along with diverse fixing methods, the module significantly improves scanner efficiency and extends the lifespan of the mounting bracket, making it suitable for various applications.

[0023] This utility model has been described by the above-described embodiments; however, these embodiments are merely examples for implementing this utility model. It must be noted that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of this utility model. Conversely, any modifications and refinements made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model are within the scope of patent protection of this utility model.
