[Arrangement] The outer box of the present invention, for example, the cabinet 1, is provided with bar codes 6, 8 and 10 on the bottom surfaces 14, 15 and 16 of the recesses formed on the surface thereof so that the bar codes can be erased or peeled off. Preventing, improving the reliability of barcode reading, enabling automation of production control, and providing useful information.

Description

[Detailed description of the device] [Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an outer box which constitutes a home electric appliance having a bar code (one-dimensional code) or a matrix code (two-dimensional code) on the bottom surface of a recess provided on the surface.

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, in the outer box which constitutes a home electric appliance such as a television receiver or a video tape recorder (VTR) or a cassette tape recorder or a radio receiver, in which a predetermined printed circuit board is housed, As a means for identifying and controlling the number, shape, brown pipe size, cost, product number, etc., production control is done by attaching a bar code-printed label to the object, or by printing the code on the packaging box that houses the outer box. Means, etc. are taken.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-mentioned conventional means, it takes time and cost to attach a label and wrap an outer box, and it requires a large amount of money even if it is mechanized. Furthermore, the bar code disappears and the label peels off during the handling process. In addition, there was a problem that the reliability of reading codes such as barcodes deteriorates due to variations in label attachment position and label orientation. In view of the above problems, the present invention improves the reliability of reading barcodes or matrix codes and the like, makes it easy to assign codes such as barcodes or matrix codes, facilitates mechanization, and wears or peels off barcodes or matrix codes. It provides an outer box that does not have any.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the outer box of the present invention has a bar code or a matrix code disposed on the bottom surface of a recess provided on the surface thereof, and a transparent member is printed or coated on the bar code or the matrix code. It is affixed.

[Action]

 With the above-described configuration, the present invention facilitates mechanization of bar code or matrix code assignment by only slightly changing the external shape of the conventional outer box, and mechanical and quantitative production management (CIM) or sales by computer. It becomes possible to manage. As a result, statistical and planned management can be performed and effective use as management information can be achieved. In addition, quick management of identification management can be achieved.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 by using an example of a television receiver cabinet including a bar code. 1 is a perspective view of the cabinet of the embodiment of the present invention from the side, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the cabinet of the embodiment of the present invention from the front, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the side of FIG. 2 taken along section line S2-S2. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a main part of FIG. 1 seen from the direction of the cutting lines S1 to S1. The molding cabinet 1 of the present invention has a concave rectangular shape and is configured to accommodate the cathode ray tube 3 and a printed circuit board (not shown) in a predetermined manner. Further, the back cover 2 that protects the brown pipe 3 is screw-fastened in pairs on the concave side. The cabinet 1 has rectangular recesses 7, 9 and 11 each having a predetermined depth on the surfaces of the top surface, the side surface and the front surface, and the bar codes 6, 8 are provided on the bottom surfaces 14, 15 and 16 in these recesses. , 10 are arranged in a predetermined manner. That is, the barcodes 6, 8 and 10 are printed on the surfaces of the bottom surfaces 14, 15 and 16 of the recesses, or the labels (not shown) on which the barcodes are printed are attached. Further, in order to prevent the bar code 6 from peeling off during the use of the cabinet, a transparent member (not shown) is applied or stuck on the bar codes 6, 8 and 10. For example, spray, print or cure a transparent epoxy resin material or acrylic resin material. Alternatively, a thin film polyester film having an adhesive on one side is attached in a predetermined manner. As a matter of course, the top surface of the transparent member arranged on the barcodes 6, 8 and 10 is configured to be positioned lower than the surface of the cabinet 1 by a predetermined dimension. With this configuration, even if the surface of the cabinet 1 is rubbed during the use process, the handling process, or the transportation process, the bar code does not disappear and the label does not peel off. Also, by arranging the bar code within the determined recess size, mechanization of bar code reading becomes easy and reliability is improved. In the cabinet 1 in which the barcodes 6, 8 and 10 are arranged as described above, data is read by a barcode reader (not shown). In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the bar codes 6, 8 and 10 are arranged on the three main planes of the cabinet 1, respectively. This is so that the bar code can be recognized from any of the main plane sides of the cabinet. It was done. However, it would not be a problem if the bar code is provided only on one surface. Further, the barcode may be arranged not only on the cabinet 1 but also on the side surface of the back cover 2 or the like. Input information for barcodes 6, 8 and 10 can be any information such as production management information such as color, size, shape, lot number, product number, manufacturing date, cost, etc. for management purposes. It may be carried out accordingly. Next, an identification management method of the television receiver 20 having the above configuration will be described. First, 1 to 3 bar codes (codes) obtained by previously inputting necessary management data are provided at the predetermined locations of the cabinet 1. Alternatively, in each production process of the television receiver 20, desired management data is written in a bar code (code) in the cabinet 1 by using a predetermined bar code forming means (not shown). Next, in each production process of the television receiver 20, by reading the data from the bar code using a predetermined bar code reader, the scheduled work in each process is executed and the data is collected and managed. Be seen. Finally, the television receivers are sorted and stored in the automated warehouse. As described above, the cabinet of the present invention is provided with the bar code (one-dimensional code), so that the management data can be transmitted and received and utilized in each production process. Although the bar code (one-dimensional code) is used as the code to be arranged in the embodiment of the present invention, it goes without saying that a matrix code (two-dimensional code) may be used instead of the bar code. Yes. Also, as a bar code arrangement target, in addition to a television receiver, it can be applied to an outer box of any home electric product such as a video tape recorder (VTR). Further, the member forming the outer box may be arbitrarily formed by compression molding or injection molding, in addition to the resin member, a kneading member of gluten composed of natural protein and a solvent. Gluten, which is a natural protein, is easily decomposed by microorganisms in water and soil, so it is convenient for disposal after use and there is no concern about environmental pollution due to single use.

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the outer box of the present invention can easily provide a code such as a bar code or a matrix code, and prevent the code from being worn or the label from being peeled off. In addition to providing useful information in production control and contributing to management, many effects such as automatic production support can be obtained.
