[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The device adopts a vibrating feeding mechanism and cooperates with an inclined conveyor belt to reasonably deliver the cocoons from the hopper frame without damaging the cocoons, effectively preventing the cocoons from being piled up in large quantities in the hopper frame due to adhesion between the cocoons. At the same time, a double-layer conveyor belt design is adopted. The cocoon conveying conveyor belt and the cocoon processing conveyor belt work in parallel. The opening and closing of the storage tanks are controlled by the structure. After one group of storage tanks is unloaded, the other group of storage tanks is controlled to unload, and the unloading can continue. This process is repeated, which is convenient for replenishing the cocoons. While processing the data of the cocoons, the continuous transportation of the subsequent cocoons is guaranteed, effectively improving the overall operation efficiency of the device.

[0018] 2. The device adopts a multi-baffle belt to transport the cocoons on the cocoon conveyor belt in batches, which can effectively control the number of cocoons transported each time. At the same time, the hopper frame and tail frame adopt an arc design, which can effectively prevent the cocoons from leaking from the conveyor belt with the rotation of the multi-baffle belt.

[0019] 3. A cocoon falling buffer mechanism is set at the input end of the cocoon processing conveyor belt. A high-precision gravity sensor is set in the mechanism to monitor the weight of the cocoons on the buffer plate in real time. When there are too many cocoons on the buffer plate, the conveying speed of the cocoon processing conveyor belt is reduced to avoid the situation where too many cocoons enter the flattening mechanism and the cocoons cannot be effectively flattened.

[0020] 4. The device is also designed with an automatic lifting and flattening mechanism to solve the problem that the cocoons cannot be completely flattened due to the different sizes of cocoons, which greatly reduces the problems of incorrect cocoon identification results and inaccurate cocoon counting caused by cocoon stacking, and improves the accuracy and reliability of the device counting results. When the L-shaped paving plate intercepts and flattens the cocoons, the cocoons on the same plane as the L-shaped paving plate will be intercepted. In order to prevent the cocoons from being stacked on one side of the L-shaped paving plate for a long time and affecting the transmission effect, the power motor will drive the convex block to move and contact the elastic plate, which will cause the elastic plate to deform and then bounce the intercepted cocoons to one side, effectively preventing the cocoons from piling up on one side of the L-shaped paving plate and affecting the flattening effect, thereby improving practicality.

The specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention covers any substitution, modification, equivalent method and scheme made on the essence and scope of the present invention.

[0032] Figure 1 and Figure 2 They are respectively an overall structural schematic diagram and a top structural schematic diagram of an intelligent group cocoon counting device, an intelligent group cocoon counting device, comprising a box body 1, a cocoon conveying conveyor belt 3 and a cocoon processing conveyor belt 2 are arranged above the box body 1; the belt of the cocoon conveying conveyor belt 3 is a multi-baffle belt 31, a hopper frame 7 is arranged above the cocoon conveying conveyor belt 3, and a vibrating feeding mechanism 8 is arranged between the hopper frame 7 and the multi-baffle belt 31; a cocoon falling buffer mechanism 4 is arranged at the input end of the cocoon processing conveyor belt 2, a cocoon flattening mechanism 5 is arranged in the middle, and a cocoon image acquisition mechanism is arranged at the front; a cocoon collecting box 16 is arranged at the left part of the box body 1 and below the output end of the cocoon processing conveyor belt 2, a motor cover 21 is fixedly installed on the side of the box body 1, a driving motor is fixedly installed inside the motor cover 21, the driving motor provides power for the movement of the cocoon processing conveyor belt 2, and the motor cover 21 is used to protect the driving motor.

[0033] The control console of the box 1 is provided with a device master control box 11, a touch display 15, a cocoon processing conveyor belt controller 12, a cocoon transport conveyor belt controller 13, and a vibration mechanism controller 14 from left to right, which are respectively used to realize separate control of each mechanism of the device.

[0034] Four curved connecting plates 32 are fixed under the side plates of the cocoon conveying conveyor belt 3, and the curved connecting plates 32 connect the conveyor belt and the box body 1 so that the conveyor belt is tilted and fixed on the box body 1; a U-shaped baffle 33 is installed at the front end of the cocoon conveying conveyor belt 3, and the distance between the top of the U-shaped baffle 33 and the multi-baffle belt 31 is no more than the width of a cocoon. The tilted cocoon conveying conveyor belt 3 can use the gravity of the cocoons to prevent the cocoons from piling up, which helps the effective transportation of the cocoons.

[0035] like Figure 3As shown, the side plate of the hopper frame 7 is fixed above the cocoon conveying conveyor belt 3 in close contact with the hopper frame bracket 71, and a semicircular hopper frame tail frame 72 is installed at the rear of the hopper frame 7; the hopper frame tail frame 72 is closely installed at the tail of the cocoon conveying conveyor belt 3, and the distance between its outer shell and the top of the baffle of the multi-baffle belt 31 does not exceed the width of a cocoon, and a transmission shaft bearing fixing seat 22 is fixedly installed on the side of the cocoon conveying conveyor belt 3. The hopper frame tail frame 72 adopts an arc design, which can return the cocoons leaking out of the hopper frame 7 to the conveyor belt when the baffle of the multi-baffle belt 31 rotates, thereby solving the problem of cocoons leaking off the conveyor belt.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the vibration feeding mechanism 8 mainly includes a vibration plate 81, a vibrator 82 and a vibration base 83; the vibration plate 81 is fastened on top of the vibrator 82; the vibrator 82 is installed on top of the vibration base 83; the vibration base 83 is connected to the base support cross bar 86 through four base support bolts 85; the base support bolts 85 are arranged in a straight line and are invertedly installed on the base support cross bar 86; the base support bolts 85 are sleeved with a vibration spring; the base support cross bar 86 is fixed to the hopper frame bracket 71 through a right-angle connector 84. By utilizing the vibration feeding mechanism 8 and the tilted cocoon conveying conveyor belt 3, the cocoons on the vibration plate 81 can be detached from the hopper frame 7 without being damaged, effectively preventing the cocoons from being accumulated in large quantities in the hopper frame 7 due to adhesion between the cocoons, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the device.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the cocoon falling buffer mechanism 4 includes a buffer mechanism bracket 41, and the buffer mechanism bracket 41 is vertically placed at the tail end of the cocoon processing conveyor belt 2; two buffer mechanism side panels 42 are fixed in the buffer mechanism bracket 41; a buffer mechanism top panel 44 is installed on the top of the buffer mechanism side panel 42, and a high-precision gravity sensor 45 is installed below the buffer mechanism top panel 44; a hook spring 46 is connected below the high-precision gravity sensor 45; a rotatable buffer plate 43 is installed between the buffer mechanism side panels 42; the buffer plate 43 is as wide as the cocoon processing conveyor belt 2, one end of which is connected to the two buffer mechanism side plates 42 through a buffer plate shaft 47, and the other end is connected to a hook spring 46; a gap is left between the bottom of the buffer plate 43 and the conveyor belt, and the distance is greater than the width of two cocoons and less than the width of three cocoons. When the cocoons leave the cocoon transport conveyor belt 3 and enter the cocoon processing conveyor belt 2, a cocoon falling buffer mechanism 4 is provided at the input end of the cocoon processing conveyor belt 2 to prevent a large number of cocoons from entering the flattening mechanism in a short period of time, thereby avoiding the problem of unsatisfactory flattening due to an excessive number of cocoons.

[0038] like Figure 6As shown, the cocoon flattening mechanism 5 includes an automatic lifting flattening mechanism; the automatic lifting flattening mechanism includes a U-shaped flattening mechanism top plate 50, and an L-shaped flattening plate 51 is installed below the flattening mechanism top plate 50; the L-shaped flattening plate 51 is limitedly connected with the flattening mechanism top plate 50 through four guide rods 52; the bottom end of the guide rod 52 is fixedly connected with the L-shaped flattening plate 51; a threaded cylinder 55 is fixedly installed at the center position of the L-shaped flattening plate 51, and a threaded rod 54 is threadedly connected to the inner thread of the threaded cylinder 55, and a power motor 53 corresponding to the threaded rod 54 is fixedly installed on the top of the L-shaped flattening plate 51, and the output end of the power motor 53 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod 54, and the side of the L-shaped flattening plate 51 perpendicular to the conveyor belt is closely attached to the cocoon falling cache mechanism 4; a small vibrator 500 is installed above the L-shaped flattening plate 51, When the cocoons are transported to the L-shaped paving plate 51, the L-shaped paving plate 51 will limit and block the cocoons to prevent them from piling up, so that the cocoons can be spread out on the cocoon processing conveyor belt 2. The cocoon processing conveyor belt 2 device is designed to spread out the group of cocoons, which can ensure that the cocoons are in a flat state when they enter the image acquisition mechanism, thereby increasing the accuracy of the device in calculating the number of group cocoons and improving the reliability of the cocoon counting results. The power motor 53 will drive the threaded rod 54 to rotate. When the threaded rod 54 rotates, the L-shaped paving plate 51 will be driven to move synchronously through the threaded cylinder 55. When the L-shaped paving plate 51 moves, the guide rod 52 cooperates with the top plate 50 of the paving mechanism to enable the L-shaped paving plate 51 to move smoothly, and then the height of the L-shaped paving plate 51 can be automatically adjusted to adapt to the spreading of cocoons of different sizes.

[0039] The cocoon image acquisition mechanism mainly includes a collection mechanism top plate 61, a camera 62, a lighting lamp 63 and a lighting lamp bracket 64. The camera 62 passes through the collection mechanism top plate 61 and is fixed on the collection mechanism top plate 61 through a camera fixing seat 66; the lighting lamp 63 is fixed on a crossbar perpendicular to the side of the conveyor belt above the lighting lamp bracket 64; a lighting lamp cover 65 is installed above the lighting lamp 63; and light shielding plates 67 are installed on three sides of the lighting lamp bracket 64. The cocoon image acquisition mechanism collects the group cocoon images that have been laid on the cocoon processing conveyor belt 2 in real time, and transmits the image data to the processor host, which analyzes the image information and displays the final analysis results on the touch display 15.

[0040] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, a feeding mechanism 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the hopper frame 7, and a storage groove 901 is arranged in an array inside the feeding mechanism 9. A conical groove 902 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage groove 901, and a sealing structure is arranged inside the conical groove 902. A discharge groove 906 is arranged at the bottom of the feeding mechanism 9, and the discharge groove 906 is located below the conical groove 902. The discharge groove 906 is communicated with the hopper frame 7, and the sealing structure includes a through groove 903, a sealing plate 904 and a telescopic rod 905. The through groove 903 is arranged inside the conical groove 902, the sealing plate 904 is arranged inside the conical groove 902, and the conical groove 902 extends from one side of the sealing plate 904, and a telescopic rod 905 is fixedly installed inside the feeding mechanism 9, and the telescopic rod 905 is fixedly connected to one side of the sealing plate 904.

[0041] After the cocoons to be counted are placed in the storage tank 901 for storage, when the cocoons are counted, one set of telescopic rods 905 is operated. The telescopic rods 905 are electric push rods, which are electrically connected to the touch display and can control the movement of the telescopic rods 905. When the telescopic rods 905 move, the sealing plate 904 is driven to move. After the sealing plate 904 moves out of the conical groove 902, the conical groove 902 is no longer sealed, and the cocoons in the storage tank 901 pass through the conical groove 902 and enter the discharge groove 906. The material trough 906 will enter the hopper frame 7 for transmission and counting. When one group of storage troughs 901 has completed unloading, the telescopic rod 905 corresponding to the other group of storage troughs 901 will move, which will drive the sealing plate 904 to move, and the conical trough 902 will no longer be sealed, and then the material can be unloaded. The material can be unloaded continuously and the cocoons can be counted, which improves the work efficiency. At the same time, the storage trough 901 after unloading can be loaded. In this cycle, the material can be unloaded continuously and the cocoons can be counted, which improves the overall operation efficiency of the device.

[0042] like Figure 6 and Fig. 9 As shown, a concave groove 56 is provided inside the L-shaped paving plate 51, and a power motor 58 is fixedly installed inside the concave groove 56. A driving shaft 581 is fixedly installed at the output end of the power motor 58, and a protrusion 582 is fixedly installed on the driving shaft 581. An elastic plate 57 is fixedly installed inside the concave groove 56.

[0043] When the L-shaped paving plate 51 intercepts and flattens the cocoons, the cocoons that are on the same plane as the L-shaped paving plate 51 will be intercepted. To prevent the cocoons from piling up on one side of the L-shaped paving plate 51 for a long time, the power motor 58 is activated through the controller to drive the drive shaft 581 to rotate. When the drive shaft 581 rotates, the protrusion 582 will move. When the protrusion 582 moves, it will contact the elastic plate 57, causing the elastic plate 57 to deform, and then the intercepted cocoons will be bounced to one side, effectively preventing the cocoons from piling up on one side of the L-shaped paving plate 51 and affecting the paving effect, thereby improving practicality.

[0044] Working principle: After the silkworm cocoons to be counted are placed in the storage tank 901 for storage, when the silkworm cocoons are counted, one of the telescopic rods 905 is operated. The telescopic rod 905 is an electric push rod, which is electrically connected to the touch display and can control the movement of the telescopic rod 905. When the telescopic rod 905 moves, it will drive the sealing plate 904 to move. After the sealing plate 904 moves out of the conical groove 902, the conical groove 902 is no longer sealed. The silkworm cocoons in the storage tank 901 will pass through the conical groove 902 to enter the discharge groove 906, and then pass through the discharge groove 906 to enter the hopper frame 7 for transmission and counting. When one of the storage tanks 901 is unloaded, the other storage tank 901 is operated. The movement of the telescopic rod 905 corresponding to the groove 901 will drive the sealing plate 904 to move, and the conical groove 902 will no longer be sealed, and then the material unloading process can be carried out. The material unloading and cocoon counting can be carried out continuously, which improves the work efficiency. At the same time, the storage groove 901 after unloading can be loaded. This cycle can be continued. After the cocoons to be counted are poured into the hopper frame 7, the device is started, and the two conveyor belts of the box body 1 start to move. The cocoons in the hopper frame 7 leave the hopper frame 7 under the action of gravity and the vibration feeding mechanism 8, and enter the cocoon conveying conveyor belt 3. If there are cocoons dropped from the tail of the conveyor belt, the dropped cocoons are removed under the action of the tail frame of the hopper frame 7 and the baffle of the multi-baffle belt 31. The cocoons will return to the cocoon conveying conveyor belt 3 to continue conveying, and the cocoons will continue to fall from the cocoon conveying conveyor belt 3 to the cocoon falling buffer mechanism 4 of the cocoon processing conveyor belt 2. When the number of cocoons on the buffer plate 43 is too large and the high-precision gravity sensor 45 detects the set weight upper limit, the controller slows down the movement speed of the cocoon conveying conveyor belt 3 and reduces the supply of cocoons. When the weight on the buffer plate 43 returns to a certain value, the conveyor belt resumes its original speed to improve the operation efficiency of the device. After the cocoons leave the cocoon falling buffer mechanism 4, they are flattened by the automatic lifting flattening mechanism. When the L-shaped flattening plate 51 intercepts and flattens the cocoons, the cocoons are flattened by the L-shaped flattening plate 51. The cocoons on the same plane will be intercepted. To prevent the cocoons from accumulating on one side of the L-shaped paving plate 51 for a long time, the power motor 58 is operated to drive the driving shaft 581 to rotate. When the driving shaft 581 rotates, it drives the protrusion 582 to move. When the protrusion 582 moves, it contacts the elastic plate 57, which causes the elastic plate 57 to deform, and then the intercepted cocoons will be bounced to one side, effectively preventing the cocoons from accumulating on one side of the L-shaped paving plate 51 and affecting the paving effect. Then, the cocoons enter the cocoon image acquisition mechanism for image acquisition. The touch display 15 on the box 1 displays the image of the acquisition mechanism in real time, and displays the result of the image data processed by the processor host on the touch display 15. After the acquisition is completed, the cocoons finally fall into the cocoon collection box 16 with the movement of the cocoon processing conveyor belt 2 to complete the recycling.

[0045] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
