[0013] In some embodiments, the receiving groove is arranged obliquely downward in the direction toward the feeding end, and the facial masks are stacked along the extending direction of the receiving groove;
[0014] The ends of the two groove walls of the receiving groove facing the feeding end extend toward each other to form a limiting portion for restricting the facial mask from sliding out. The material trough mechanism also includes a material pressing component slidably arranged in the receiving groove, and the material pressing component is used to press the stacked facial masks under the action of gravity.
[0015] In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism further includes a first sensor provided on one side of the conveyor belt for detecting whether a facial mask passes by.
[0016] In some embodiments, the facial mask includes a packaging bag and a substrate placed on the packaging bag. The facial mask counting device also includes a thickness measuring mechanism provided above the conveyor belt and corresponding to the first sensor. The thickness measuring mechanism is used to measure the thickness of the facial mask passing thereunder to determine whether the packaging bag contains a substrate.
[0017] In some embodiments, the thickness measuring mechanism includes:
[0018] A displacement sensor comprising a sensor body and a detection portion extending downward from the sensor body;

[0026] In some embodiments, the inner bottom surface of the receiving trough is lower than the discharge end of the conveyor belt, so that the facial masks falling into the receiving trough are stacked from bottom to top.
[0027] In some embodiments, the receiving trough includes an inlet end corresponding to the conveyor belt and an outlet end away from the inlet end;

[0044] The present invention proposes a facial mask counting device, referring to Figures 1 to 8 , the facial mask counting device comprises:
[0045] The trough mechanism 10 includes a receiving trough 11 for receiving the facial mask;
[0046] A conveying mechanism 20, a conveyor belt 22 for conveying the facial mask, wherein the conveyor belt 22 includes an inlet end opposite to the receiving tank 11 and an outlet end away from the receiving tank 11;
[0047] The material taking mechanism 30 is used to take out the facial mask from the receiving tank 11 and place it on the conveying mechanism 20;
[0048] A counting sensor 71 is provided on the conveying mechanism 20 and is used to detect the number of facial masks passing through;
[0049] The material receiving mechanism 50 includes a material receiving trough 51 provided on one side of the material discharging end, and the material receiving trough 51 is used to receive the facial mask output by the conveying mechanism 20.
[0050] In this embodiment, the receiving groove 11 is arranged obliquely downward toward the feeding end, and the facial masks are stacked along the extension direction of the receiving groove 11. The ends of the two groove walls of the receiving groove 11 facing the feeding end extend toward each other to form a limit portion that restricts the facial masks from sliding out, and the areas on the two side edges of the facial masks are restricted by the limit members. The trough mechanism 10 also includes a pressing assembly 12 slidably arranged in the receiving groove 11, and the pressing assembly 12 is used to compress the stacked facial masks under the action of gravity. The pressing assembly 12 includes an L-shaped pressing member with a roller at its bottom. The bottom of the receiving groove 11 is also provided with a limiting groove corresponding to the above-mentioned roller, and the extension direction of the limiting groove is consistent with the extension direction of the receiving groove 11. The upper part of the pressing member contacts the facial masks to compress the stacked facial masks, ensuring that the facial masks remain vertical in the receiving groove 11 or maintain a certain angle with the horizontal plane.
[0051] The conveying mechanism 20 includes two conveyor belts 22 arranged opposite each other. The conveying direction and speed of the two conveyor belts 22 are consistent, and specifically, synchronous belts can be used. The conveying mechanism 20 also includes a conveyor wheel connected to the conveyor belts 22 and a first motor 23 that drives the conveyor wheel. The first motor 23 is preferably a stepper motor. The synchronous wheel 26 at the same end of the two conveyor belts 22 is mounted on the same rotating shaft 25. The first motor 23 is connected to the rotating shaft 25 to drive the rotating shaft 25 to rotate. Specifically, two parallel and vertical mounting plates 21 are provided, with one conveyor belt 22 and its corresponding synchronous wheel 26 mounted on one mounting plate 21, and the other conveyor belt 22 and its corresponding synchronous wheel 26 mounted on the other mounting plate 21.
[0052] The material-retrieving mechanism 30 includes a retrieval rod 33 positioned between the two conveyor belts 22, and a suction nozzle 35 mounted on the retrieval rod 33. The retrieval rod 33 has a first station for docking the suction nozzle 35 with the facial mask in the receiving tank 11, and a second station for placing the facial mask on the conveyor belt 22. The retrieval mechanism 30 also includes a first drive member 34 that drives the retrieval rod 33 between the first and second stations. In this embodiment, the retrieval mechanism 30 includes a mounting seat 31 positioned near the lower exit of the receiving tank 11, and a connecting shaft 32 extending through the mounting seat 31, with the connecting shaft 32 being perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 22. One end of the retrieval rod 33 is mounted on the connecting shaft 32, and the other end is provided with a suction nozzle 35. The suction nozzle 35 is connected to a negative pressure pump to suck up the facial mask packaging. The end of the connecting shaft 32 away from the material picking rod 33 is connected to the first drive member 34, which is preferably a stepper motor. The stepper motor and the connecting shaft 32 are connected by an angle converter. When the rotating shaft 25 is in the first station, it can absorb the facial mask in the receiving tank 11. It is then driven by the first drive member 34 to rotate toward the second station. The edge area of the facial mask docked with the suction nozzle 35 is pulled out from between the limiting portion of the receiving tank 11 and the adjacent facial mask. After the restriction is released, the facial mask is taken out of the receiving tank 11 as a whole. The material picking rod 33 then carries the facial mask to the first station docked with the feed end of the conveyor belt 22 and is placed flat on the conveyor belt 22 so that the conveyor belt 22 can transport the facial mask. The material picking rod 33 then returns to the first station again to carry out the next material picking.
[0053] Counting sensor 71 is located above conveyor belt 22 and uses a fiber optic sensor with its detection direction facing downward. It is a through-beam sensor. When there is no mask below, counting sensor 71 receives a light signal. When a mask passes by, it blocks the through-beam light path, and the fiber optic sensor cannot detect the light signal. When the value obtained by dividing the mask length by the conveyor belt 22's speed equals the duration of the light signal disappearance (assuming the conveyor belt 22 is moving at a constant speed), it indicates that a mask has passed, and a count is performed.
[0054] The receiving trough 51 includes an inlet end corresponding to the conveyor belt 22 and an outlet end remote from the inlet end. The inner bottom surface of the receiving trough 51 is lower than the outlet end of the conveyor belt 22, allowing the facial masks to fall into the receiving trough 51 and stack upwards. A lifting gate 52 driven by a pneumatic cylinder is also provided at the outlet end of the receiving trough 51 to prevent the facial masks from directly escaping the receiving trough 51 due to inertia, thus providing a certain blocking effect. When the required number of facial masks in the receiving trough 51 is reached, the lifting gate 52 rises to remove the facial masks from the outlet end.
[0055] The present invention provides a facial mask counting device including a trough mechanism 10, a conveying mechanism 20, a material picking mechanism 30, a counting sensor 71 and a material receiving mechanism 50, so that the facial masks stacked along the extension direction of the receiving trough 11 in the trough mechanism 10 are sucked out by the material picking mechanism 30 and flipped at a certain angle and placed on the conveying mechanism 20, and are counted by the counting sensor 71 on the conveying mechanism 20. Subsequently, the facial masks are received by the material receiving mechanism 50 located at the tail end of the conveying mechanism 20. When the facial masks in the material receiving mechanism 50 reach the set number, the material picking mechanism 30 stops picking up the materials, and the facial masks in the material receiving mechanism 50 can be used for subsequent packaging, thereby solving the problem that the existing facial mask packaging equipment cannot count automatically, resulting in low packaging efficiency and easy counting errors.
[0056] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 8 The facial mask includes a packaging bag and a substrate placed on the packaging bag. The facial mask counting device also includes a thickness measuring mechanism 40 provided above the conveyor belt 22 and corresponding to the first sensor 72. The thickness measuring mechanism 40 is used to measure the thickness of the facial mask passing thereunder to determine whether the packaging bag contains a substrate.
[0057] Reference Figure 6 In this embodiment, the thickness measuring mechanism 40 includes a displacement sensor 43 and a lifting drive member 41. The displacement sensor 43 includes a sensor body 431 and a detection portion 432 extending downward from the sensor body 431; the lifting drive member 41 is used to drive the displacement sensor 43 downward to a set height so that the detection portion 432 abuts against the mask below; the displacement sensor 43 is used to obtain thickness information of the mask below based on the movement of the detection portion 432 relative to the sensor body 431.
[0058] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 8, the conveying mechanism 20 also includes a first sensor 72 provided on one side of the conveyor belt 22 for detecting whether a facial mask passes by. The first sensor 72 is a reflective sensor. When there is no facial mask above it, the counting sensor 71 cannot receive the reflected light signal. When a facial mask passes by, the reflected light signal can be detected. The displacement sensor 43 is provided above the first sensor 72. When the first sensor 72 detects that a facial mask passes by, the conveyor belt 22 stops. The lifting drive member 41 can be an air cylinder or an electric cylinder, and its moving end is connected to the displacement sensor 43, and drives the displacement sensor 43 downward, so that the detection part 432 abuts against the facial mask. The stroke of the lifting drive member driving the displacement sensor 43 is fixed. The detection part 432 first abuts against the facial mask. As the sensor body continues to descend, the detection part 432 moves relative to the sensor body. When the packaging bag contains a substrate, the movement of the detection portion 432 within the sensor body is within a certain range. When the packaging bag contains no substrate, i.e., the facial mask is empty, the movement is less than this range, allowing the thickness measurement mechanism 40 to detect whether the facial mask is empty. It is worth noting that when the detection portion 432 is separated from the facial mask, it returns to its zero position within the sensor body 431, and the movement is zero.
[0059] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 8 The thickness measuring mechanism 40 also includes: a mounting block 42, which is provided at the driving end of the lifting drive member 41 and is used to install the displacement sensor 43; a guide rod 45, which is provided on the mounting block 42 and extends vertically downward; a pressure block 46, which is slidably connected to the guide rod 45, and the pressure block 46 is provided with a slot or a through hole for the detection part 432 to pass through; a compression spring 44, which is sleeved on the guide rod 45, and its elastic force causes the pressure block 46 to be located at the lower end of the guide rod 45.
[0060] In this embodiment, when the lifting drive member 41 drives the mounting block 42 downward, the pressing block 46 first contacts the facial mask. As the mounting block 42 continues to descend, the compression spring 44 is compressed, and the displacement sensor 43 continues to descend with it until the detection portion 432 abuts the facial mask. The pressing block 46 smoothes the contact surface between the facial mask and the displacement sensor 43, preventing warping of the packaging bag from affecting the detection results of the displacement sensor 43.
[0061] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 8The facial mask counting device further includes a stopping mechanism 80 disposed above the conveyor belt 22 and located to one side of the thickness measuring mechanism 40. The stopping mechanism 80 includes a lifting cylinder and a stopping member disposed on the push rod of the lifting cylinder. The push rod of the lifting cylinder is vertically downwardly disposed to drive the stopping member downward onto the conveyor belt 22 to stop the passing facial mask, ensuring that the measurement area of the thickness measuring mechanism 40 remains in the center of the facial mask, thereby avoiding erroneous detection results due to detection of the edge of the packaging bag. In other words, the packaging bag may contain a substrate, but the actual detection position is at the edge of the packaging bag, resulting in a detection result of the packaging bag being empty.
[0062] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 8 The receiving trough 51 includes an inlet end corresponding to the conveyor belt 22 and an outlet end away from the inlet end; the facial mask counting device also includes a pushing mechanism 60, which includes a pushing member 63 disposed in the receiving trough 51 and a pushing driving member 61 for driving the pushing member 63 to move in the receiving trough 51 to push the facial mask out of the outlet end. In this embodiment, the receiving trough 51 includes two L-shaped trough plates, which are symmetrically arranged and include vertically arranged trough walls and extensions disposed at the lower ends of the trough walls. The two extensions extend toward each other to receive the facial mask. A notch for the movement of the material-removing member is formed between the two extensions, and the lifting door 52 is used to prevent the facial mask from sliding out. Specifically, an electric cylinder can be installed below the conveyor belt 22 as a pusher drive 61. A mounting rod 62 is installed at its movable end, and the pusher 63 is installed at the end of the mounting rod 62. The ejector is also L-shaped, including a supporting portion for supporting the mask and a pushing portion for pushing the mask. The height of the pushing portion is higher than the stacking thickness of the mask. During the pushing process, the lifting door 52 rises to allow the mask to be pushed out.
[0063] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 8 The facial mask counting device further includes a first adjustment component for adjusting the width of the receiving groove 11, and / or a second adjustment component for adjusting the spacing of the conveyor belt 22. In this embodiment, the receiving groove 11 includes a bottom plate 14 and two oppositely arranged groove wall plates 111. The bottom of the groove wall plates 111 extends downward and passes through the bottom plate 14 to form a connecting portion. The first adjustment component includes a first guide rod 18 slidably connected to the two connecting portions, and a first screw rod 17 threadedly connected to the two connecting portions. The first screw rod 17 has a rotation direction opposite to that of the threads corresponding to the two connecting portions. A first hand wheel is provided at one end of the first screw rod 17. The spacing between the two groove wall plates 111 can be adjusted by rotating the first hand wheel.
[0064] In this embodiment, the structure of the second adjustment mechanism is the same as that of the first adjustment mechanism. In the conveying assembly, two opposite mounting plates 21 are arranged on the second guide rod 27 for sliding connection, and are threadedly connected to the second screw 24. The second screw 24 has opposite rotation directions to the threads corresponding to the two mounting plates 21. A second hand wheel is provided at one end of the second screw 24. By turning the second hand wheel, the spacing between the two mounting plates 21 can be adjusted, that is, the spacing between the two conveyor belts 22 can be adjusted to suit facial masks of different widths.
[0065] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 8 The trough mechanism 10, the material picking mechanism 30, the conveying mechanism 20, the counting sensor 71, the thickness measuring mechanism 40, the material receiving mechanism 50, and the material pushing mechanism 60 can constitute a set of facial mask counting and thickness measuring modules. The facial mask counting device can include multiple facial mask counting and thickness measuring modules arranged side by side. Correspondingly, multiple side-by-side receiving troughs 11 are provided. Multiple side-by-side material picking rods 33 and corresponding suction nozzles 35 are provided on the connecting shaft 32. Each material picking rod 33 corresponds to a receiving trough 11. Similarly, multiple sets of side-by-side conveyor belts 22, counting sensors 71, thickness measuring mechanisms 40, material receiving mechanisms 50, and material pushing mechanisms 60 are provided.
[0066] Correspondingly, the first adjustment mechanism also includes two mounting brackets 16, each slidably connected to the first guide rod 18 and rotationally connected to the first screw rod 17. The connection portion of the slot wall plate 111 on the same side is mounted on one mounting bracket 16, while the connection portion of the slot wall plate 111 on the other side is mounted on the other mounting bracket 16. The threaded holes corresponding to the first screw rod 17 on the two mounting brackets 16 have opposite threaded directions. This allows for simultaneous adjustment of the widths of multiple receiving slots 11. The first screw rod 17 and the first guide rod 18 are mounted on the first frame at both ends.
[0067] Correspondingly, multiple sets of mounting plates 21 are mounted on the second screw rod 24, with two mounting plates 21 forming a set. Within each set of mounting plates 21, the threaded holes corresponding to the second screw rod 24 on the mounting plates 21 on the same side have opposite threaded holes. This allows for synchronous adjustment of the spacing of the conveyor belts 22 in the same set. The trough plates of the receiving trough 51 are also mounted on the mounting plates 21, so that when adjusting the spacing of the conveyor belts 22 in the same set, the trough width of the receiving trough 51 is also adjusted synchronously.
[0068] It is worth noting that when the spacing of the above-mentioned conveyor belt 22 is adjusted, the synchronous wheel 26 thereon slides correspondingly along the rotating shaft 25. Therefore, the synchronous wheel 26 and the rotating shaft 25 are connected by a keyway to meet the above-mentioned sliding requirements.
[0069] The above description is only a partial or preferred embodiment of the present invention. Neither the text nor the drawings can limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the overall concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, is included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
