Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fastener counting device, in particular to a fastener anti-loosening and anti-leakage processing visual precision counting device. Background Art

[0002] When processing fasteners, it is necessary to calculate the quantity. The existing method of calculating the number of fasteners is as follows. Please refer to Figure 10 First, a tray 91 is loaded with fasteners to be processed or that have been processed. A vibrating device 92 is installed below tray 91. Vibrating device 92 vibrates tray 91, causing the fasteners in tray 91 to move and fall through the opening of tray 91. Furthermore, a line scan counter 93 is installed in front of the opening of tray 91. Line scan counter 93 scans the fasteners that fall through the opening of tray 91 to count them.

[0003] However, when fasteners fall, they may overlap front to back or be arranged side by side, be connected head to tail, or be locked with each other. All of the above situations will cause the image comparison and counting results to be inconsistent with the actual situation, resulting in miscounting of the number of fasteners. In other words, the device for calculating the number of fasteners in the prior art has the problem of overlapping fasteners, resulting in large errors in the counting results. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the aforementioned shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a visually accurate counting device for fastener anti-loosening and anti-leakage processing. In addition to vibrating, the receiving tray can also swing in an arc shape, so that the fasteners in the receiving tray can be separated from their original stacked state by centrifugal force, thereby achieving accurate visual counting results.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the invention, the technical means adopted by the present invention are to design a fastener anti-loosening and anti-leakage processing visual precision counting device, which includes:

[0006] a base;

[0007] At least one arc track, which is provided on the base and extends in an arc shape;

[0008] a receiving tray, which is disposed on the at least one arc track and can move along the at least one arc track; the receiving tray has a discharge opening;

[0009] a vibration device, which is provided on the serving tray and can cause the serving tray to vibrate;

[0010] a moving assembly disposed on the base and connected to the holding tray, and capable of driving the holding tray to move back and forth along the at least one arc track;

[0011] An image comparison module is configured to shoot toward the discharge opening of the container tray.

[0012] The advantage of the present invention is that by installing the containing tray on the arc track and being able to move along the arc track, and arranging a moving component connected to the containing tray and driving the containing tray to move back and forth along the arc track, the containing tray not only vibrates but also can produce a stable arc swing motion, thereby enabling the fasteners in the containing tray to be separated from the original stacked state by centrifugal force, and different fasteners will fall from the discharge opening at different positions in the arc swing motion, and their falling trajectories are different, which can further stagger the fasteners, and finally the images of the fasteners are separated, so the visual counting result is accurate.

[0013] Furthermore, the described fastener anti-loosening and anti-leakage processing visual precision counting device, wherein the moving component includes a transmission roller, which is rotatably provided on the base, and an annular slide groove is formed on the outer ring surface of the transmission roller; the annular slide groove surrounds the axis of the transmission roller and is inclined to the axis of the transmission roller; a driving device, which is provided on the base, connected to the transmission roller and drives the transmission roller to rotate; a transmission rocker, one end of which is provided on the containing plate, and the other end can be telescopic and relatively movably provided in the annular slide groove of the transmission roller; when the driving device drives the transmission roller to rotate, the transmission rocker moves in the annular slide groove, and the transmission rocker drives the containing plate to move back and forth along the at least one arc track.

[0014] Furthermore, the described visual precision counting device for anti-loosening and anti-leakage processing of fasteners, wherein the transmission rocker includes a fixed rod, which is fixed to the containing plate; a sliding rod, which can be slidably arranged in the fixed rod; an elastic component, which is arranged in the fixed rod and pushes the sliding rod in a direction away from the containing plate; a ball, which is arranged at one end of the sliding rod away from the containing plate and can roll relative to the sliding rod; the ball is rollably arranged in the annular slide groove of the transmission roller.

[0015] Furthermore, in the fastener anti-loosening and anti-leakage processing visual precision counting device, the number of the at least one arc track is two; the arc radius of the two arc tracks is the same and parallel to each other, and the centers of the two arc tracks are located on the same straight line.

[0024] The following is a detailed description of the technical means used by the present invention to achieve the intended purpose of the invention, with reference to the drawings and preferred embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 9 The visual precision counting device for preventing fasteners from loosening and leaking of the present invention comprises a base 10 , at least one arc track 20 , a receiving tray 30 , a vibration device 40 , an image comparison module 50 and a moving assembly 60 .

[0026] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the arc track 20 is provided on the base 10 and extends in an arc shape. Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of the arc tracks 20 is two. The arc radii of the two arc tracks 20 are the same and are parallel to each other, and the centers of the two arc tracks 20 are located on the same straight line. The arc tracks 20 of equal diameter and concentricity enable the serving tray 30 to produce a stable arc swing motion. The serving tray 30 is provided on the arc track 20 and can move along the arc track 20. The serving tray 30 has a discharge opening 31. The vibration device 40 is provided on the serving tray 30 and can cause the serving tray 30 to vibrate. The image comparison module 50 shoots toward the discharge opening 31 of the serving tray 30.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5The movable assembly 60 is disposed on the base 10 and connected to the serving tray 30, capable of driving the serving tray 30 to move back and forth along the arc track 20. Specifically, in this embodiment, the movable assembly 60 includes a drive roller 61, a drive device 62, and a drive rocker 63. The drive roller 61 is rotatably disposed on the base 10, and an annular groove 611 is formed on the outer surface of the drive roller 61. The annular groove 611 surrounds the axis of the drive roller 61 and is inclined relative to the axis of the drive roller 61. The drive device 62 is disposed on the base 10 and connected to the drive roller 61, driving the drive roller 61 to rotate. One end of the drive rocker 63 is disposed on the serving tray 30, and the other end is retractably and relatively movable within the annular groove 611 of the drive roller 61. When the drive device 62 drives the drive roller 61 to rotate, the drive rocker 63 moves within the annular groove 611, and the drive rocker 63 drives the serving tray 30 to move back and forth along the arc track 20.

[0028] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the transmission rocker 63 includes a fixed rod 631, a sliding rod 632, an elastic component 633, and a ball bearing 634. The fixed rod 631 is fixed to the serving tray 30. The sliding rod 632 is slidably disposed within the fixed rod 631. The elastic component 633 is disposed within the fixed rod 631 and pushes against the sliding rod 632 away from the serving tray 30. The ball bearing 634 is disposed at the end of the sliding rod 632 away from the serving tray 30 and is capable of rolling relative to the sliding rod 632. The ball bearing 634 is rollably disposed within the annular groove 611 of the transmission roller 61.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figures 6 to 8 During operation of the present invention, fasteners are placed within the receiving tray 30, and the vibrating device 40 vibrates the receiving tray 30. Due to the tilt of the top surface of the base 10, the receiving tray 30 is tilted, with the discharge opening 31 facing downward. This vibration causes the fasteners within the receiving tray 30 to gradually slide toward the discharge opening 31, where they are captured by the image comparison module 50 for analysis and counting. During this process, the drive device 62 rotates the transmission roller 61. Simultaneously, one end of the transmission rocker 63 circulates within the annular groove 611 on the outer surface of the transmission roller 61 via the ball bearing 634. Since the other end of the transmission rocker 63 is fixed to the bottom surface of the receiving tray 30 and the receiving tray 30 is positioned on the curved track 20, the receiving tray 30 is driven by the transmission rocker 63 to move back and forth along the curved track 20, creating an arc-shaped swinging motion for the receiving tray 30. During the arc swing, the fixed rod 631 of the transmission rocker 63 remains fixed to the bottom surface of the serving tray 30, and the elastic component 633 pushes the sliding rod 632 so that it extends and contracts with the arc swing. That is to say, the elastic component 633 maintains the sliding rod 632 and the ball 634 in the annular groove 611 during operation.

[0030] By installing the serving tray 30 on the arc track 20 and enabling it to move along the arc track 20, and providing a moving component 60 connected to the serving tray 30 and driving the serving tray 30 to move back and forth along the arc track 20, the serving tray 30 not only vibrates but also can produce a stable arc swing motion, thereby allowing the fasteners in the serving tray 30 to be separated from their originally stacked state by centrifugal force, and different fasteners will fall from the opening from different positions during the arc swing motion, and their falling trajectories are different, which can further stagger the fasteners, and finally the images of the fasteners are separated, so the visual counting result is accurate.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of the technical contents disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
