[0039] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0040] Example: Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, an automatic counting and bottling device includes a storage bin 1, a counting plate 3 and a discharge funnel 8. The storage bin 1 is used to store a certain amount of material and discharge it to the counting plate 3. The counting plate 3 is used to meter the received material and then discharge it. The discharge funnel 8 is used to transport the metered material to a designated area. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the storage bin 1, the grain counting plate 3 and the discharge funnel 8 are arranged from top to bottom, and the discharge of materials is achieved by gravity.

[0041] Among them, reference Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the storage bin 1 is a funnel-shaped structure 2, and the material is discharged through the funnel-shaped structure 2;

[0042] The bottom of the counting plate 3 is provided with a plurality of groups of holes 4 along the circumferential direction, and each group of holes 4 includes a plurality of holes 4 arranged along the radial direction (for details, refer to Figure 4 As shown), a distribution plate 5 is provided in the counting plate 3, and the distribution plate 5 is configured to push the material into each group of holes 4, wherein a counting device 10 is provided in the counting plate 3, and the counting device 10 is used to measure the amount of material falling into each group of holes 4;

[0043] refer to Figure 5 As shown, a baffle 6 is installed at the lower end of the counting plate 3, and a notch 7 is provided on the baffle 6. The baffle 6 is configured to rotate so that the notch 7 periodically coincides with each group of holes 4.

[0044] In this embodiment, a rotating shaft 9 is provided at the center of the grain counting disk 3, a cloth plate 5 is attached to the bottom of the grain counting disk 3, and one end of the cloth plate 5 is connected to the rotating shaft 9. The rotating shaft 9 rotates and synchronously controls the cloth plate 5 to rotate. When the cloth plate 5 rotates, the cloth plate 5 covers at least two groups of holes 4, wherein the notch 7 is located below the cloth plate 5, and the baffle 6 is connected to the rotating shaft 9 and rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 9; so that the baffle 6 and the cloth plate 5 move synchronously, wherein, in this embodiment, at least one group of holes 4 is separated between the notch 7 and the pushing end of the cloth plate 5, and the counting device 10 includes a photoelectric generating device or a camera device located below the pushing end of the cloth plate 5, and the photoelectric generating device or the camera device is used to measure the amount of material in each group of holes 4 covered below the cloth plate 5 in real time;

[0045] That is, when the cloth plate 5 rotates, it will push the material in the direction of movement to move, so that it falls into each hole 4; as the cloth plate 5 continues to move, it will cover the holes 4 after the material falls in turn. At this time, the photoelectric generating device or camera device on the cloth plate 5, for example, generates laser downward through the photoelectric generating device. At this time, the baffle 6 serves as a receiving structure. When the laser is shot from the hole 4 to the baffle 6, it proves that there is no material in the hole 4. When there is material in the hole 4, the laser is blocked by the material and cannot be transmitted to the baffle 6. At this time, it is recorded that there is material in the hole 4. The camera device can also use impact recognition to obtain whether there is material in each hole 4. After the current group of holes 4 is counted, as the cloth plate 5 continues to rotate, the notch 7 of the baffle 6 moves to the group of holes 4, and the material in the counted holes 4 in the group falls through the notch 7. This is repeated to achieve accurate counting.

[0046] refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a discharge funnel 8 is installed below the baffle 6, which receives the material falling from the gap 7 and guides the material to fall into a designated area;

[0047] refer to Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a first guide channel 11 is provided below each group of holes 4 in the discharge funnel 8, and at least one electric barrier 12 is provided in each first guide channel 11. The electric barrier 12 is used to conduct the first guide channel 11 or restrict the material from sliding out of the guide channel. Taking one electric barrier 12 as an example, the material in each group of holes 4 after counting falls into the corresponding first guide channel 11. Therefore, the material present in each first guide channel 11 is a determined value, and the materials determined in each first guide channel 11 are combined and discharged, so that various required quantities of materials can be obtained.

[0048] Among them, in this embodiment, the bottom of the discharge funnel 8 is a double-headed discharge pipe 13 structure, and the two discharge pipes 13 are connected to the discharge funnel 8 through a divider 14. The top of the divider 14 is connected to the bottom of the discharge funnel 8. Two second guide channels 15 are provided in the divider 14, which are respectively connected to the two discharge pipes 13. Among them, a baffle 16 is provided above the two second guide channels 15, and the baffle 16 is used to block or open the corresponding second guide channel 15. Through the action of the baffle 16, a specific amount of material can be discharged alternately from the two discharge pipes 13 according to demand.

[0049] In order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of material discharge, a feeding mechanism is provided in the material discharge funnel 8, which connects the storage bin 1 with the two second guide channels 15, and is configured to deliver materials to the designated second guide channels 15 according to a predetermined quantity, and then set the combination of each first guide channel 11 to an interval, wherein x is the demand value and is the difference, that is, the value of the material combination in each first guide channel 11 can be any value in the interval, and the corresponding difference is supplemented by the above-mentioned feeding mechanism.

[0050] In this embodiment, reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding pipe 17 for conveying materials, a roller 18 for obtaining a specific amount of materials, and a third guide channel 20 for guiding the specific materials to move in a specified direction, wherein the top end of the feeding pipe 17 extends into the storage bin 1, and the bottom end of the feeding pipe 17 extends between the two second guide channels 15, so that the materials can be directly conveyed from the storage bin 1 to between the second guide channels 15, wherein the diameter of the feeding pipe 17 is set to allow a single material to move, that is, the materials can only move from the feeding pipe 17 from top to bottom one by one; the roller 18 is set at the bottom end of the feeding pipe 17, one end of which is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 25, and is driven to rotate by the driving motor 25, and its surface is in contact with the bottom of the feeding pipe 17, so that the materials in the feeding pipe 17 cannot fall off from other gaps, and multiple rollers are provided on the roller 18 along the rotation direction. There are grooves 19, which rotate with the roller 18, and each groove 19 coincides with the bottom end of the feeding tube 17 in turn. Here, we take the example that the groove 19 can only store a single material. When the groove 19 coincides with the bottom end of the feeding tube 17, a single material enters the groove 19, and as the roller 18 rotates, the groove 19 with the material rotates to face downward. Under the action of gravity, the slip groove 19 falls on the third guide channel 20 and moves to the designated position along the third guide channel 20. Two third guide channels 20 are set here, that is, according to the rotation direction of the roller 18, the groove 19 with the material can be transferred to the corresponding third guide channel 20, and the two third channels correspond to the two second guide channels 15, that is, the two discharge pipes 13; this is repeated, and a specific amount of material can be controlled to fall into the designated second guide channel 15 to achieve the supplement of the difference.

[0051] refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 ,as well as Figure 7-Figure 8 As shown, in order to prevent the materials falling from the storage bin 1 from being concentrated in the counting plate 3, the distribution plate 5 cannot evenly distribute the materials in each hole 4. In this embodiment, a spreading structure is installed below the storage bin 1 in the particle plate. The spreading structure includes:

[0052] The center disk 21 is coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft 9 and is used to receive materials falling from the storage bin 1. A vibration plate 23 is coaxially installed in the center disk 21; the vibration plate 23 covers the entire center disk 21, and the top surface of the vibration plate 23 has an arc structure with a high center and low surroundings. An elastic member 24 is provided between the bottom end of the vibration plate 23 and the center disk 21. The elastic member 24 is deformed by the impact force of the falling materials. It can not only guide the materials to move around it through the shape of its top surface, but also cause the materials to move quickly around the vibration plate 23 through the vibration generated by the deformation of the elastic member 24.

[0053] There are several spreading plates 22, one end of which is connected to the central disk 21, and the other end of which is inclined downward to set the spreading end; wherein, the spreading end of each spreading plate 22 has a different distance from the rotating shaft 9, and the material moving to the surroundings will fall evenly into each spreading plate 22, and guide the material along the spreading plates 22 of different lengths to fall into different areas of the grain counting disk 3, and then cooperate with the rotation of the central disk 21 to make each spreading plate 22 rotate synchronously to spread the material, so that the material evenly covers the entire grain counting disk 3.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or substitute equivalents for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
