摘要： A method of and system for automatically identifying packages during package transport operations carried out by a human operator walking through the doorway of a storage warehouse, wherein, a laser scanning system is supported above the doorway defining a passageway of 3-D spatial extent, through which a human operator may walk while manually transporting packages bearing bar code symbols. In the illustrative embodiment, the laser scanning system includes a housing having a light transmission aperture, and a laser scanning pattern generator disposed within the housing. During operation of the system, the laser scanning pattern generator employs a holographic scanning disc to project through the light transmission aperture, an omnidirectional laser scanning pattern which is substantially confined within the spatial extent of a predefined 3-D scanning volume that spatially encompasses a substantial portion of the passageway of 3-D spatial extent. As each package bearing a bar code symbol is transported through the doorway as the human operator walks through the doorway, the package is automatically identified by the laser scanning system supported above the doorway. By virtue of the present invention, a bar coded package can now be automatically identified as a human operator holding the package walks through the doorway of a storage warehouse, thus improving inventory control accuracy and worker productivity.

摘要： An automatic bar code symbol reading system for automatically reading bar code symbols on packages transported along a conveyor belt through a 3-D scanning volume. The system includes a holographic-based bar code symbol detector and a bar code symbol scanner mounted above the conveyor belt. The holographic-based bar code position detector produces a first laser scanning pattern within the 3-D scanning volume, and scans each transported package, detects the position of the bar code symbol therein, and automatically produces bar code position data specifying the position of the detected bar code symbol. In automatic response to the produced bar code position data, the bar code symbol scanner is steered so as to collect light reflected off the detected bar code symbol, and produce scan data indicative of the detected bar code symbol. A scan data processor automatically processes the produced scan data so as to automatically read the detected bar code symbol and produce symbol character data representative thereof. By virtue of the present invention, it is now possible automatically detect the position of high-resolution bar code symbols on packages transported through a large 3-D scanning volume using a holographic-based bar code position detector, and collect high-resolution scan data from the detected bar code symbol using a steerable high-speed bar code symbol scanner, so that such collected scan data can then be subsequently decode processed in a high-speed manner, as required in numerous industrial scanning applications.

摘要： A holographic laser scanning system for scanning bar code symbols. The system comprises a holographic scanning disc having a plurality of holographic optical elements disposed thereon for scanning the plurality of laser beams directed at the same incident angle. Each holographic optical element as substantially the same Bragg angle. The parabolic light reflective surfaces are disposed beneath the holographic scanning discs. Each parabolic light reflective surface has an optical axis disposed off the Bragg angle of the holographic optical elements, for focusing towards a focal point above the holographic scanning disc, the reflected light rays collected by each holographic optical element. A photodetector is disposed at the focal point of the corresponding parabolic light reflective surface above the holographic scanning disc, and is radially aligned with the optical axis of one parabolic light reflective surface. The light diffraction efficiency of each holographic optical element at the angle of incidence of each laser beam during scanning is substantially greater than the light diffraction efficiency of the focused laser light transmitted from each parabolic light reflective surface through the holographic optical elements towards corresponding photodetector during light detection. This enables the collected light rays, focused by the parabolic light reflective surface, to be efficiently transmitted through the holographic optical elements, to the photodetector for detection and generation of a scan data signal for subsequent processing. By virtue of this novel arrangement, the present invention enables the construction of a holographic laser scanner having substantially reduced height characteristics.

摘要： An over-the-conveyor bar code symbol reading system for scanning bar coded packages transported through a 3-D scanning volume having a plurality of focal planes. The system comprises a conveyor belt, first and second laser scanning subsystems mounted thereabove, and a scan data processor. The first laser scanning subsystem generates a first laser scanning pattern above the conveyor belt for scanning each bar coded package transported therealong, and produces bar code position data indicative of the position of the bar code symbol on each scanned package. The second laser scanning subsystem generates and scans a second laser beam to produce a second laser scanning pattern within a 3-D scanning volume above the conveyor belt and having a plurality of focal planes. In response to scanning the transported package, the second laser scanning subsystem produces scan data indicative of the scanned bar code symbol thereon. This scan data is processed to detect each scanned bar code symbol and determine within which one of the plurality of focal planes the detected bar code symbol resides on the transported package. During operation of the system, produced bar code position data is used to automatically set the focal length of the first laser beam to spatially coincide with the focal plane within which the detected bar code symbol resides on the transported package. By virtue of the present invention, bar coded packages of varying height can now be read using a system having reduced complexity and greater compactness for mounting above space-restricted conveyor belts.

The scanner comprises a housing, holographic laser scanning mechanism disposed within the housing for producing a high-resolution raster-type 2-D scanning pattern within a 3-D scanning volume.

A laser beam deflecting device is such as a Bragg cell, used to vary said angle of incidence varying means for varying said angle of incidence of the laser beam during rotation of the holographic scanning disc so that a high-resolution 2-D raster scanning pattern is generated from the raster-type 2-D laser scanning pattern and contained substantially within the 3-D scanning volume.

摘要： A method of and system for automatically identifying packages during manual package sortation operations, wherein, a laser scanning system is supported above a workspace environment of 3-D spatial extent, which is occupied by a human operator involved in the manual sortation of packages bearing bar code symbols. In the illustrative embodiment, the laser scanning system includes a housing having a light transmission aperture, and a laser scanning pattern generator disposed within the housing. During operation of the system, the laser scanning pattern generator employs a holographic scanning disc to project through the light transmission aperture, an omnidirectional laser scanning pattern which is substantially confined within the spatial extent of a predefined 3-D scanning volume that spatially encompasses a substantial portion of the workspace environment occupied by the human operator, through which packages are transported during sorting operations. As each package bearing a bar code symbol is transported through the workspace environment occupied by the human operator the package is automatically identified by the laser scanning system supported above the workspace environment. Thereafter, the package is manually sorted by the human operator working beneath the laser scanning system. By virtue of the present invention, bar coded packages can now be automatically identified as a human operator manually sorts the same within the allocated workspace environment, while improving package sortation accuracy and worker productivity.

摘要： A laser scanning system capable of producing information specifying the subregion of space within a 3-D scanning volume within which a bar code symbol is detected by a laser scanning pattern. The system comprises a laser scanning pattern generator, a scan data processor, a bar code symbol position data generator and a system controller. In the illustrative embodiment, the laser scanning pattern generator employs a holographic scanning disc to generate an omnidirectional laser scanning pattern within the 3-D scanning volume for scanning a bar code symbol presented therein, and in response thereto, automatically produces scan data indicative of the scanned bar code symbol. The scan data processor automatically processes the produced scan data so as to detect the scanned bar code symbol within the 3-D scanning volume. The bar code symbol position data generator automatically determines a subregion of space within the 3-D scanning volume wherewithin the detected bar code symbol is scanned by the laser scanning pattern, and automatically produces bar code symbol position data indicative of this subregion of space. By virtue of the present invention, it is now possible to generate, on a real-time basis, information specifying the position of a detected bar code symbol anywhere within the prefined 3-D scanning volume of a laser scanning system.
