Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic scale manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to a processing line compatible with electronic scales of different sizes. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of technology and market demand, electronic scales, as an important tool for weighing and measurement, have penetrated into all aspects of industry, commerce, and daily life. To meet the growing market demand and improve production efficiency while reducing costs, electronic scale manufacturing lines have emerged, becoming one of the core technologies in the electronic scale manufacturing industry.

[0003] A fully automated electronic scale production line is a highly automated production line that systematically combines, processes, and assembles raw materials, parts, and electronic components to ultimately produce qualified electronic scale products. In this production line, each step is closely linked and works collaboratively.

[0004] A fully automated production line for electronic scales comprises three main components: assembly equipment, testing equipment, and packaging equipment. However, current electronic scale manufacturing equipment on the market is only custom-made for specific processes or fixed products. For example, testing equipment can only produce products of similar size and type, and it cannot be integrated with packaging equipment. Existing fully automated electronic scale production lines suffer from poor compatibility. To produce various specifications and models of electronic scales, these lines typically require numerous redundant workstations. When producing a single model, there are many redundant workstations, resulting in a large footprint and demanding maintenance personnel. Summary of the Invention

[0047] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following detailed description of the embodiments and the accompanying drawings are used to illustrate the principles of the present invention by way of example, but should not be used to limit the scope of the present invention, that is, the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments.

[0048] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0049] In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0050] To better understand the present invention, it will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0051] To meet the production needs of rapid product changeover and compatibility with multiple electronic scales, this invention proposes a fully automated flexible production line compatible with household electronic scales of different sizes. It is compatible with electronic scales with lengths ranging from 250mm to 310mm, widths from 250mm to 310mm, and thicknesses from 18mm to 30mm, and is suitable for the production of various weight scales and body fat scales sold on the market. The equipment consists of three main parts: an assembly section, a testing section, and a packaging section. The equipment has a production capacity of ≥500 pieces per hour, as detailed below:

[0052] See Figures 1-2As shown, the assembly unit includes an automatic feeding device, which includes a vibratory feeder hopper 1b, a flexible vibratory feeder 2b, a first linear module 3b, a second linear module 4b, a picking robot 5b, and a camera 6b. The flexible vibratory feeder 2b is used to straighten parts of different sizes and shapes through vibration. The first linear module 3b and the second linear module 4b cooperate to drive the picking robot 5b to move directly above the flexible vibratory feeder 2b to grab the parts inside the flexible vibratory feeder 2b.

[0053] Specifically, the discharge port of the vibratory feeder hopper 1b overlaps with the flexible vibratory feeder 2b. The vibratory feeder hopper 1b and the flexible vibratory feeder 2b work together to achieve fully automatic feeding in a hopper-style manner. The flexible vibratory feeder 2b and the camera 6b (with a shooting range of 300mm*300mm) work together to achieve full compatibility in battery cell feeding. Specifically, visual positioning technology is used to identify the posture of multiple battery cells in the flexible vibratory feeder 2b after vibration. When the posture of a battery cell in the flexible vibratory feeder 2b is the set posture, the picking robot 5b moves to directly above the battery cell under the drive of the first linear module 3b and the second linear module 4b, and then picks up the battery cell and transports it to the predetermined position.

[0054] It is worth mentioning that the embodiments of the present invention do not make any improvements to this part of the testing unit, so its working principle and specific structure will not be described in detail.

[0055] The packaging department includes folding machines and case packing machines, as detailed below:

[0056] See Figures 11-23 As shown, the folding machine provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a first frame 1a, a cardboard feeding mechanism 2a, a battery loading mechanism 3a, an instruction manual loading mechanism 4a, and a box folding mechanism 5a.

[0057] Specifically, the first frame 1a is equipped with a first station, a second station, and a third station; the cardboard feeding mechanism 2a is located inside the first frame 1a and is used to transport cardboard 7a to the first station; the battery loading mechanism 3a is located at the first station, the instruction manual loading mechanism 4a is located at the second station, and the box folding mechanism 5a is located at the third station, so that these stations respectively perform the battery 8a loading, instruction manual 9a placement, and cardboard box folding operations, ensuring that the entire packaging process proceeds smoothly with the conveying of cardboard 7a, the placement of batteries 8a and instruction manual 9a, and the final box folding operation. The degree of automation is high, manual intervention is reduced, and production efficiency is improved.

[0058] In this embodiment, the battery loading mechanism 3a is used to attach the battery 8a onto the cardboard 7a; the instruction manual loading mechanism 4a is used to place the instruction manual 9a onto the cardboard 7a; the instruction manual loading mechanism 4a, the battery loading mechanism 3a, and the cardboard feeding mechanism 2a are arranged sequentially along the Y-axis. This longitudinal arrangement helps to simplify the workflow, so that from the moment the cardboard 7a is fed, through the placement of the battery 8a and the instruction manual 9a, the three mechanisms are arranged along a specific axis without the need for additional turning or transmission. This greatly improves work efficiency, allowing the cardboard 7a to be smoothly and quickly transferred to the next workstation; secondly, the cardboard 7a does not change direction during transmission, reducing placement errors caused by incorrect orientation.

[0059] Specifically, the folding mechanism 5a and the instruction manual loading mechanism 4a are arranged sequentially along the X-axis. The folding mechanism 5a is used to fold and snap the cardboard 7a into a paper box. This arrangement ensures that the various mechanisms of the human body weighing electronic scale paper tray packaging equipment are distributed both horizontally and vertically. This arrangement makes full use of the horizontal and vertical space, improving the space utilization rate of the equipment. Since each workstation is arranged along a specific axis, the operator can intuitively see the operating status of each workstation, which is convenient for monitoring and management. Secondly, this layout also helps to reduce the distance the operator walks between the equipment, improves work efficiency, and also reduces the safety risks during operation.

[0060] Preferably, the cardboard feeding mechanism 2a includes a first hopper 21a for placing cardboard 7a, a first gripping component 22a, a first guide rail 23a arranged along the Y-axis, and a second guide rail 24a arranged along the Z-axis. The first hopper 21a is movably connected to the second guide rail 24a, and the first hopper 21a can move along the Z-axis on the second guide rail 24a to the picking position. This conveying method ensures the stable transport of cardboard 7a and avoids positional deviation or falling of cardboard 7a during transport. Specifically, the first gripping component 22a is located directly above the first hopper 21a. The first gripping component 22a is used to grip the cardboard 7a at the picking position and then move along the first guide rail 23a in the Y-axis direction so that the cardboard 7a is placed on the first station. This ensures that the first gripping component 22a is aligned with the cardboard 7a, thereby maintaining stability after gripping the cardboard 7a and avoiding dropping due to inaccurate gripping position.

[0061] Preferably, the first gripping assembly 22a includes a fifth driving cylinder 221a, a mounting base plate 222a, and a plurality of suction members 223a disposed on the mounting base plate 222a. Each suction member 223a has a first suction plate 224a at its end, which is used to grip the cardboard 7a. Specifically, as the power source of the first gripping assembly 22a, the fifth driving cylinder 221a provides the force required for the suction member 223a to move, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the movement. Furthermore, the multiple suction members 223a, each with a first suction plate 224a at its end, mean that the first gripping assembly 22a has multiple gripping points, increasing the stability and reliability of the gripping. Even when facing uneven or irregularly shaped cardboard 7a, it can ensure stable gripping of the cardboard 7a.

[0062] It is worth mentioning that each suction component 223a is equipped with a first suction plate 224a at its end. The first suction plate 224a grips the cardboard 7a, preventing damage during the gripping process. The first suction plate 224a utilizes air pressure or vacuum principles to generate an adsorption force with the cardboard 7a, thereby achieving gripping. This design ensures that the cardboard 7a can be stably adsorbed and gripped under various conditions. Secondly, the adsorption force of the first suction plate 224a ensures the stability of the cardboard 7a during transport, reducing the possibility of it falling off due to vibration.

[0063] Specifically, the mounting base plate 222a has a Z-shaped structure. This design makes full use of the space in the Z-axis direction and also facilitates the installation of multiple suction components 223a on the mounting base plate 222a.

[0064] Specifically, the mounting substrate 222a includes a first base 2221a, a connecting portion 2222a, and a second base 2223a. The first base 2221a, the connecting portion 2222a, and the second base 2223a are an integral structure. In this embodiment, the first base 2221a, the connecting portion 2222a, and the second base 2223a are manufactured by an integral molding process. This design reduces the production difficulty and process of the mounting substrate 222a, thereby reducing production costs. The first base 2221a is located at the upper end of the connecting portion 2222a, and the second base 2223a is located at the lower end of the connecting portion 2222a. Four suction members 223a are provided, and the four suction members 223a are evenly distributed at the four corners of the second base 2223a. This layout ensures that the four suction members 223a can better adapt to cardboard 7a of different shapes and sizes, improving the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment. At the same time, it can also ensure the stability of the cardboard 7a during the handling process and avoid the phenomenon of cardboard falling off.

[0065] Preferably, the battery loading mechanism 3a includes a second hopper 31a for placing the battery 8a and a first pushing component 32a. The second hopper 31a is disposed on the first pushing component 32a. The first pushing component 32a includes a pushing rod 321a and a guide rod 322a. The guide rod 322a is arranged along the Y-axis and has a guide groove. At least a portion of the pushing rod 321a is located in the guide groove. The pushing rod 321a is used to push the battery 8a, which has slid into the guide groove, to a predetermined position. This design not only provides stable guidance for the pushing rod 321a but also ensures the accurate pushing of the battery 8a, enabling the battery 8a to be pushed to the predetermined position quickly and accurately.

[0066] Specifically, the second hopper 31a is used to place the battery 8a, providing a centralized storage area for the battery loading mechanism 3a.

[0067] Preferably, the battery loading mechanism 3a further includes a second gripping component 33a. The second gripping component 33a includes a third guide rail 331a arranged along the X-axis, a fourth guide rail 332a arranged along the Z-axis, and a clamping member 333a. The clamping member 333a is disposed on the fourth guide rail 332a and includes two clamping arms for clamping the battery 8a. Specifically, the two clamping arms are used to clamp the battery 8a, and the clamping force of the clamping arms ensures the stability of the battery 8a during transmission, reducing the occurrence of the battery 8a falling off due to vibration or external force.

[0068] Preferably, the battery loading mechanism 3a further includes an adhesive application component 34a, which is positioned above the first pushing component 32a. This design ensures that the tape can be accurately applied to the surface of the battery 8a, while avoiding interference with the tape during the pushing process of the battery 8a.

[0069] Specifically, the adhesive application assembly 34a includes an adhesive tape roll 341a, a fifth guide rail 342a arranged along the X-axis, a sixth guide rail 343a arranged along the Z-axis, a mounting base 344a, and a core 345a disposed on the mounting base 344a. The fifth guide rail 342a and the sixth guide rail 343a are connected by a straight plate. The mounting base 344a is movably mounted on the fifth guide rail 342a. The mounting base 344a also has multiple guide posts. The adhesive tape roll 341a is mounted on the core 345a and is sequentially wound around the multiple guide posts. This design facilitates the replacement or installation of the adhesive tape roll 341a and improves production efficiency. In this embodiment, those skilled in the art can select the number of guide posts according to actual needs to control the tension of the adhesive tape roll 341a, ensuring that the adhesive tape roll 341a is not excessively loose or excessively tight during the application process. Mounting base 344a can move along the X-axis and Z-axis directions to apply the tape on tape roll 341a to the surface of battery 8a. This design allows mounting base 344a to move precisely in both directions, increasing the flexibility and accuracy of tape application. Furthermore, the fifth guide rail 342a and sixth guide rail 343a are respectively connected to the control system, combining the movement capability of mounting base 344a with the control system to achieve automated tape application, improving production efficiency. Precise control of the movement of mounting base 344a ensures the consistency and accuracy of tape application on the surface of battery 8a.

[0070] Preferably, the instruction manual loading mechanism 4a includes a third hopper 41a for placing the instruction manual 9a, a second pushing component 42a, and a suction component 43a. The third hopper 41a is disposed on the second pushing component 42a. The second pushing component 42a includes a seventh guide rail 421a and a pushing plate 422a arranged along the X-axis. The seventh guide rail 421a provides stable guidance for the pushing plate 422a, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the instruction manual 9a during the pushing process. The pushing plate 422a is provided with a receiving groove, which is used to catch the instruction manual 9a, reducing the displacement or falling of the instruction manual 9a during transportation. The pushing plate 422a can move along the X-axis on the seventh guide rail 421a, so that the instruction manual 9a located in the receiving groove can be accurately transported to directly below the suction component 43a. The suction component 43a is used to pick up the instruction manual 9a and place it on the cardboard 7a. This structural design makes the loading of the instruction manual 9a fully automated, greatly improving production efficiency.

[0071] The section is for storing instruction manual 9a, providing a centralized storage area for instruction manual 9a.

[0072] Preferably, the second station is provided with four limiting parts 6a. The four limiting parts 6a are used to lift the four paper cards on the cardboard 7a, and the four limiting parts 6a pass through the cardboard 7a along the Z-axis and protrude outward to define a limiting space for placing the instruction manual 9a. After the instruction manual 9a is placed in the limiting space, the four limiting parts 6a move down, and the four paper cards on the cardboard 7a are pressed onto the instruction manual 9a to fix the instruction manual 9a.

[0073] Preferably, the folding mechanism 5a includes a top pushing component 51a, a first side pushing component 52a, a second side pushing component 53a, a side tongue folding component 54a, and a top tongue folding component 55a. The top pushing component 51a is used to push the top plate of the paper box so that the top plate flips over and covers the bottom plate of the paper box. There are two first side pushing components 52a, which are arranged opposite to each other. Each first side pushing component 52a is used to push the side end plate of the paper box so that the side end plate and the bottom plate are perpendicular to each other. The second side pushing component 53a is used to push the front end plate of the paper box so that the front end plate and the bottom plate are perpendicular to each other. The side tongue folding component 54a is used to bend the side tongue of the paper box, and the top tongue folding component 55a is used to bend the top tongue of the paper box.

[0074] See Figures 3-10 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a case packing machine, including a second frame 1, a first conveying mechanism 2, a positioning mechanism 3, a stacking mechanism 4, a flipping mechanism 5, and a first transfer mechanism 6.

[0075] The second frame 1 is provided with a first guide assembly 11, which provides a path and guidance for the movement of the first transfer mechanism 6, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the first transfer mechanism 6 during the movement process and helping to improve the efficiency and quality of packing.

[0076] The first conveying mechanism 2 is used to transport the packaging box 7 so that the packaging box 7 can move along the extension direction of the first conveying mechanism 2 to a specific position so that the first transfer mechanism 6 can place the color box 8 into the packaging box 7.

[0077] The positioning mechanism 3 is mounted on the first conveying mechanism 2. The positioning mechanism 3 is used to open the four sides of the upper end of the packaging box 7 to form a placement opening, thereby ensuring that the color box 8 can be conveniently, quickly and accurately placed into the packaging box 7, thus improving the automation efficiency of box packing.

[0078] A stacking mechanism 4 is located on one side of the first conveying mechanism 2. The stacking mechanism 4 is used to stack the color boxes 8 containing the electronic scales sequentially. A flipping mechanism 5 is located between the stacking mechanism 4 and the first conveying mechanism 2. The flipping mechanism 5 is used to flip the stacked color boxes 8 by 90°. Specifically, the stacking mechanism 4 stacks the multiple color boxes 8 conveyed from the previous packaging equipment sequentially along the vertical direction, while the flipping mechanism 5 flips the stacked color boxes 8 by 90° and places them vertically, so that the color boxes 8 change from a flat state to a vertical state. This allows the first transfer mechanism 6 to hold the color boxes 8 and ensure that the color boxes 8 are placed vertically into the packaging box 7. The two mechanisms work together to ensure the stable transportation of the color boxes 8 and that the color boxes 8 are placed vertically into the packaging box 7. Compared with the traditional stacking and packing method, this effectively avoids the risk of the color boxes 8 being crushed. Secondly, since the stacking mechanism 4 is located on one side of the first conveying mechanism 2 and can stack the color boxes 8 containing the electronic scales sequentially, this design allows the box packer in this embodiment to stack consecutive color boxes 8 in an orderly manner during the conveying process, thereby saving space and improving the smoothness of box packing. In this way, multiple color boxes 8 can be processed continuously and quickly, greatly improving the efficiency of box packing. The stacking mechanism 4 and the flipping mechanism 5 work together to enable multiple color boxes 8 to be flipped at once, instead of flipping them one by one. This not only simplifies the operation process but also significantly improves the speed of box packing. Through this efficient flipping method, color boxes 8 can be quickly and accurately placed into the packaging box 7 in groups of 5 or even 10 at a time, further improving the efficiency of box packing.

[0079] In this embodiment, the first transfer mechanism 6 is movably mounted on the first guide assembly 11, and the first transfer mechanism 6 can move along the extending direction of the first guide assembly 11. The first transfer mechanism 6 is used to place the color box 8 in the flipping mechanism 5 into the packaging box 7. This design enables the first transfer mechanism 6 to quickly and accurately place the color box 8 in the flipping mechanism 5 into the packaging box 7, thereby greatly improving the automation level of packing, reducing manual intervention, and lowering labor costs.

[0080] Preferably, the case packer further includes a second conveying mechanism 9, which is used to transport the color box 8 to the workstation where the stacking mechanism 4 is located.

[0081] Specifically, the stacking mechanism 4 is set on the second conveying mechanism 9. This design allows the color boxes 8 that come from the second conveying mechanism 9 to be continuously pushed into the flipping mechanism 5 by the stacking mechanism 4 and stored in a stacked form.

[0082] The second conveying mechanism 9 includes a width adjustment component 91, a first conveyor belt assembly 92, and a second conveyor belt assembly 93 arranged opposite to each other. The first and second conveyor belt assemblies 92 and 93 are respectively mounted on two mounting seats 911 of the width adjustment component 91. The two mounting seats 911 of the width adjustment component 91 are movable relative to each other to adjust the distance between the first and second conveyor belt assemblies 92 and 93. This design allows for quick and accurate adjustment of the distance between the first and second conveyor belt assemblies 92 and 93 by simply moving the mounting seats 911, thereby adjusting the width of the second conveying mechanism 9 to accommodate color boxes 8 of different sizes, thus improving the efficiency and adaptability of the box packing machine.

[0083] Preferably, the stacking mechanism 4 includes a lifting component 41 and a pushing component 42. The lifting component 41 includes a support plate 411 and a first driving cylinder 412. The first driving cylinder 412 is used to drive the support plate 411 to move up and down. The pushing component 42 includes a mounting frame 421 and a push rod 422. A second guide module 423 is provided on the mounting frame 421. The push rod 422 and the slider on the second guide module 423 are fixedly connected. When the first driving cylinder 412 drives the support plate 411 to rise to a predetermined position, the push rod 422 moves along the extension direction of the second guide module 423 to push the color box 8 on the support plate 411 into the flipping mechanism 5. Specifically, when the first color box 8 is transported to a specific position via the first conveyor belt assembly 92 and the second conveyor belt assembly 93, the first drive cylinder 412 drives the support plate 411 located between the first conveyor belt assembly 92 and the second conveyor belt assembly 93 to rise, thereby raising the first color box 8 to a first height. The first height is slightly higher than the horizontal height of the bottom surface of the placement rack 52 of the flipping mechanism 5, to ensure that the first color box 8 can be smoothly pushed into the placement rack 52. The push rod 422 moves along the extension direction of the second guide module 423 to push the first color box 8 on the support plate 411 into the flipping mechanism 5. Then, the first drive cylinder 412 drives the support plate 411 to descend to the initial position. When the second color box 8 is transported to the specific position, the first drive cylinder 412 drives the support plate 411 to rise to lift the second color box 8 to the second height. The height difference between the first height and the second height is greater than the thickness of the color box 8, so as to ensure that the push rod 422 can move along the extension direction of the second guide module 423 to push the second color box 8 on the support plate 411 onto the first color box 8. In this way, the color boxes 8 are continuously stacked until the number of stacked color boxes 8 reaches 5 or 10. Then, the flipping mechanism 5 rotates to flip the multiple color boxes 8 inside it by 90° at one time, so that the multiple color boxes 8 are placed in a vertical state in the flipping mechanism 5, so that the first transfer mechanism 6 can grab them.

[0084] Preferably, the flipping mechanism 5 includes a fixed base 51, a placement rack 52, and a drive motor 53. The placement rack 52 is movably mounted on the fixed base 51, and the drive motor 53 is located on one side of the placement rack 52. The drive motor 53 drives the placement rack 52 to rotate 90°. This design enables the flipping action to be completed quickly, improving the efficiency of box packing. At the same time, the stacking mechanism 4 and the flipping mechanism 5 work together to enable multiple color boxes 8 to be flipped at once, instead of flipping them one by one, simplifying the operation process and further improving the working efficiency of the box packing machine.

[0085] Because the color box 8 may fly out or fall due to centrifugal force during the flipping process, a clamping assembly 54 is provided on the placement rack 52 to solve this problem. The clamping assembly 54 includes an abutment plate 541 and a second drive cylinder 542. The second drive cylinder 542 drives the abutment plate 541 to move downward to clamp the color box 8. With this design, the abutment plate 541 can provide sufficient pressure to ensure that the color box 8 will not fall during the flipping process. This design enhances the stability of the packing process and reduces the risk of damage to the electronic scale due to the color box 8 falling.

[0086] Preferably, the first transfer mechanism 6 includes a third linear module 61, a first mounting plate 62, a second mounting plate 63, and clamping components 64. The third linear module 61 is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 62, and the third linear module 61 can drive the first mounting plate 62 to move vertically. This design ensures the stability and accuracy of the first mounting plate 62 when it moves vertically. The first mounting plate 62 is slidably connected to the first guide component 11. The second mounting plate 63 is connected to the slide of the third linear module 61 through a connecting plate 65. Two clamping components 64 are provided, and the two clamping components 64 are respectively movably installed at the lower end of the second mounting plate 63. When the third linear module 61 drives the second mounting plate 63 to move down to a predetermined position, the two clamping components 64 move towards each other to clamp the color box 8.

[0087] Preferably, each clamping component 64 is provided with a plurality of suction cups 641 arranged sequentially along the horizontal direction. The suction cups 641 are elongated and each suction cup 641 is provided with a through hole, one end of which is connected to a negative pressure tube.

[0088] Preferably, the positioning mechanism 3 includes a third mounting plate 31 that can move up and down along the vertical direction and four dial box side assemblies 32. The four dial box side assemblies 32 are evenly distributed at the four corners of the lower end face of the third mounting plate 31. Each dial box side assembly 32 includes a third driving cylinder 321 and a paddle 322. The paddle 322 is fixedly connected to the third driving cylinder 321.

[0089] Preferably, a second transfer mechanism 10 is further provided on the second frame 1. The second transfer mechanism 10 includes a fixed frame 101, a fourth drive cylinder 102, and a rotating frame 103. The rotating frame 103 is provided with multiple adsorption elements 104 for adsorbing paper cards. The fixed frame 101 and the fourth drive cylinder 102 are rotatably connected to the rotating frame 103. The fourth drive cylinder 102 drives the rotating frame 103 to rotate 90° around the fixed frame 101. In this embodiment, the paper card, as a packaging material, has a certain structural strength and stability. Through the adsorption and placement by the second transfer mechanism 10, the paper card can be stably placed into the packaging box 7, thereby supporting and reinforcing the structure of the packaging box 7, improving the overall stability and reliability of the packaging box 7, and helping to reduce damage caused by structural instability during transportation and storage.

[0090] Preferably, the first transfer mechanism 6 is equipped with a grating sensor, which is used to detect the number of color boxes 8 inside the packaging box 7.
