Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of scanning equipment technology, specifically relating to an intelligent scanning stage. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial manufacturing, especially in assembly line mass production, after a product completes final assembly at its assembly station and rolls off the line, manual intervention is typically required for the initial stages of its logistics flow. Specifically, after the finished product rolls off the line, operators first transfer it from the end of the production line to the platform of an automated guided vehicle (AGV) according to predetermined process requirements. Subsequently, the AGV automatically transports the loaded finished product to a designated workstation following the optimal path planned by the central control system for further inspection, packaging, or warehousing. This process operates relatively stably when the structure of a single finished product is relatively simple and the types of parts are limited. However, when a single finished product is composed of several sub-components of different models, specifications, and functions, the logistics flow process places higher demands on the accuracy of manual operation.

[0003] Due to inherent limitations of manual operation, such as susceptibility to fatigue, distraction, and environmental interference, the above process frequently encounters the following anomalies during actual operation: When placing sub-components, operators may mistakenly place the same type of sub-component repeatedly on the AGV platform due to memory confusion, visual misjudgment, or simple repetitive actions, thus omitting other types of sub-components that should be placed. This anomaly will directly lead to a quality defect of both "missing parts" and "excess parts" during subsequent assembly operations: the omitted sub-components cannot participate in assembly, resulting in the finished product lacking functionality; while the repeatedly placed sub-components, unable to find their corresponding assembly positions, may cause assembly interference, structural stress concentration, or even damage to mating surfaces, ultimately manifesting as failure of the assembly process. Therefore, it is urgent to prevent and improve this manual placement process through technical means or management optimization to fundamentally eliminate quality fluctuations caused by human error. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the inherent limitations of manual operation in assembly line mass production, such as susceptibility to fatigue, distraction, and environmental interference, which can lead to the mistaken placement of identical sub-components on the AGV platform while neglecting other sub-components that should be placed, this invention provides an intelligent scanning table.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: An intelligent scanning station includes a scanning device, which is set on a scanning area. An AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) moves to the scanning area and the scanning device scans and identifies information of several sub-components placed on the AGV. The scanning device includes a scanner, a moving device, and an adjustment component. The scanner can identify barcodes affixed to the sub-components. The adjustment component is connected to the scanner and is used to control the scanner to move in the height direction. The output end of the moving device is connected to the adjustment component and is used to control the scanner to move along the arrangement direction of the sub-components.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the moving device includes an X-axis linear slide module and a connecting plate. The X-axis linear slide module is mounted on the scanning area. The connecting plate is connected to the output end of the X-axis linear slide module. The connecting plate is controlled to move along the arrangement direction of several sub-components. The adjustment component is connected to the connecting plate.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the adjustment components and the scanners are provided in two sets, with the two sets of adjustment components corresponding to and matched with the two sets of scanners, and each scanner being disposed on a corresponding adjustment component; the two sets of adjustment components are symmetrically disposed at both ends of the connecting plate, and the two sets of scanners are respectively matched with two rows of sub-component groups placed on the AGV trolley, with each scanning device scanning the barcode information of the corresponding row of sub-component groups.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the moving device further includes an X-axis auxiliary belt, which is connected to the X-axis linear slide module and the connecting plate respectively, and the X-axis auxiliary belt moves in a bending motion along the sliding direction of the connecting plate.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the adjustment component includes a Z-axis linear slide module, which is connected to one end of the connecting plate. The scanner is connected to the output end of the Z-axis linear slide module, and the sliding direction of the output end of the Z-axis linear slide module is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the output end of the X-axis linear slide module.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment component further includes a Z-axis auxiliary belt, which is connected to the Z-axis linear slide module and the scanner respectively. The Z-axis auxiliary belt bends and slides along the sliding direction of the output end of the Z-axis linear slide module.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes a positioning device, which includes a positioning plate and a positioning component. The AGV trolley has a lifting function. The positioning plate is mounted on the AGV trolley. The positioning component includes a positioning rod, which is vertically set on the scanning area. The positioning plate has a positioning hole. The positioning hole and the positioning rod cooperate to move the positioning plate to a designated position on the scanning area.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cross-sectional shape of the positioning rod is conical, and the outer diameter of the positioning rod gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, at least two positioning rods are provided, and the two positioning rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the scanning area.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This solution, through its setup, allows for the manual placement of several sub-components onto an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) cart in sequence. After the AGV cart transports these components to the scanning area, the height of the scanner is adjusted using an adjustment mechanism, and a moving device controls the scanner's movement. The scanner then scans the barcodes of the sub-components placed on the AGV cart and reads the information from the barcodes. This process determines whether the order of the sub-components placed by the operator is correct and whether there are any duplicate sub-components. This ensures the accuracy of the manual placement and solves the problem in assembly line mass production where manual operation is inherently prone to fatigue, distraction, and environmental interference. This can lead to the mistaken placement of the same type of sub-component repeatedly on the AGV platform, while omitting other types that should be placed. Such errors directly result in the coexistence of "missing parts" and "excess parts" quality defects during subsequent assembly operations. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides an intelligent scanning station, including a scanning device. The scanning device is set on the scanning area. An AGV trolley 5 moves to the scanning area, and the scanning device scans and identifies information about several sub-components placed on the AGV trolley 5. The scanning device includes a scanner 1, a moving device 2, and an adjustment component 3. The scanner 1 can identify barcodes attached to the sub-components. The adjustment component 3 is connected to the scanner 1 and is used to control the scanner 1 to move in the height direction. The output end of the moving device 2 is connected to the adjustment component 3 and is used to control the scanner 1 to move along the arrangement direction of the several sub-components. With this setup, when a person manually places several sub-components in sequence on the AGV trolley 5, the scanning device can effectively scan and identify information about several sub-components placed on the AGV trolley 5. After the AGV trolley 5 transports the components to the scanning area, the adjustment component 3 adjusts the height of the scanner 1, and the moving device 2 controls the scanner 1 to move. The scanner 1 scans the barcodes of the sub-components placed on the AGV trolley 5 and reads the information from the barcodes to determine if the order of manually placed sub-components is correct and if there are any duplicate sub-components. This ensures the accuracy of manual placement and solves the problem in assembly line mass production where manual operation is inherently prone to fatigue, distraction, and environmental interference, leading to the mistaken placement of the same type of sub-component repeatedly on the AGV platform, while omitting other types of sub-components that should be placed. This anomaly directly leads to the quality defect of both "missing parts" and "excess parts" during subsequent assembly operations.

[0020] Specifically, the moving device 2 includes an X-axis linear slide module 201 and a connecting plate 202. The X-axis linear slide module 201 is mounted on the scanning area. The connecting plate 202 is connected to the output end of the X-axis linear slide module 201, controlling the connecting plate 202 to move along the arrangement direction of several sub-components. The adjusting component 3 is connected to the connecting plate 202. In this solution, the X-axis linear slide module 201 refers to a lead screw module whose output end slides along the X-axis direction. Here, the X-axis direction specifically refers to the direction consistent with the arrangement direction of several sub-components. By setting the X-axis linear slide module 201, the connecting plate 202 can move along the arrangement direction of several sub-components, ultimately achieving the technical effect of the scanner 1 moving along the arrangement direction of several sub-components.

[0021] It should be noted that, since the array of sub-components in this scheme consists of two rows, with each row containing a number of sub-components, in order to speed up the scanning process of the sub-components, this scheme has two sets of adjustment components 3 and two sets of scanners 1. The two sets of adjustment components 3 are matched with the two sets of scanners 1, and each scanner 1 is set on the corresponding adjustment component 3. The two sets of adjustment components 3 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the connecting plate 202, and the two sets of scanners 1 are matched with the two rows of sub-component groups placed on the AGV trolley 5. Each scanning device scans the barcode information of the corresponding row of sub-component groups.

[0022] Furthermore, in order to further restrict the sliding direction of the connecting plate 202, the moving device 2 also includes an X-axis auxiliary belt 203. The X-axis auxiliary belt 203 is connected to the X-axis linear slide module 201 and the connecting plate 202 respectively. The X-axis auxiliary belt 203 slides along the sliding direction of the connecting plate 202. The property of the X-axis auxiliary belt 203 is that it can only bend along the sliding direction of the connecting plate 202 and cannot bend or move in other directions. Through this characteristic, the sliding direction of the connecting plate 202 can be further restricted.

[0023] Similarly, the adjustment component 3 includes a Z-axis linear slide module 301, which is connected to one end of the connecting plate 202. The scanner 1 is connected to the output end of the Z-axis linear slide module 301, and the sliding direction of the output end of the Z-axis linear slide module 301 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the output end of the X-axis linear slide module 201. By setting the Z-axis linear slide module 301, the technical effect of controlling the scanner 1 to move in the height direction is achieved.

[0024] Furthermore, the adjustment component 3 also includes a Z-axis auxiliary belt 302, which is connected to the Z-axis linear slide module 301 and the scanner 1 respectively. The Z-axis auxiliary belt 302 bends and slides along the sliding direction of the output end of the Z-axis linear slide module 301. The Z-axis auxiliary belt 302 can only bend and move along the sliding direction of the output end of the Z-axis linear slide module 301, and cannot bend and move along other directions. Through this characteristic, the sliding direction of the scanner 1 in height can be further restricted.

[0025] In addition, to ensure that the scanner 1 can accurately read the barcode on the sub-item, it is necessary to ensure that the AGV trolley 5 can move to the designated position in the scanning area. Based on this, the solution also includes a positioning device 4, which includes a positioning plate 401 and a positioning component. The AGV trolley 5 has a lifting function. The positioning plate 401 is mounted on the AGV trolley 5. The positioning component includes a positioning rod 402, which is vertically set in the scanning area. The positioning plate 401 has a positioning hole. The positioning hole and the positioning rod 402 cooperate to move the positioning plate 401 to the designated position in the scanning area. When the AGV trolley 5 moves to the scanning area, through precise movement, the positioning hole on the positioning plate 401 cooperates with the corresponding positioning rod 402, indicating that the AGV trolley 5 has moved to the designated position in the scanning area, and the scanner 1 can be started to scan the sub-item.

[0026] To further limit the position of the positioning plate 401, this solution provides at least two positioning holes, which are respectively located on both sides of the positioning plate 401. Two sets of positioning rods 402 are provided, with each set of positioning holes corresponding to one of the two sets of positioning rods 402. Each positioning hole is used to engage with the corresponding positioning rod 402. The two positioning rods 402 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the scanning area. By providing multiple positioning holes, when any positioning hole engages with the corresponding positioning rod 402, it ensures that the positioning plate 401 will not wobble, and also ensures the positioning accuracy of the positioning plate 401.

[0027] It should be noted that during operation, the AGV trolley 5 will accumulate errors due to factors such as wheel slippage, uneven ground, and path integration, resulting in a millimeter-level deviation between its actual position and theoretical coordinates upon arrival at the scanning site. Since multiple positioning holes on the positioning plate 401 must achieve high-precision clearance fit with the corresponding positioning rods 402, the aforementioned deviation will directly lead to mounting failure. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the difficulty of fitting between the positioning holes and the corresponding positioning rods 402. Specifically, the positioning plate 401 is slidably mounted on the AGV trolley 5, and the positioning rods 402 have a conical structure. The diameter of the cross-section of the positioning rod 402 gradually increases from top to bottom. This design eliminates the influence of millimeter-level deviations caused by the movement of the AGV trolley 5, which makes it difficult for the positioning holes to fit with the positioning rods 402, ensuring that the positioning plate 401 can achieve successful positioning.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
