Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of parts counting, and in particular to a parts counting device and a method of using the same. Background Art

[0002] In many industrial and manufacturing fields, the packaging and counting of parts are key production links. Usually the number of parts packaged at a time may range from thousands to tens of thousands, and because many parts are packaged in irregular ways, they sometimes present irregular shapes. In order to ensure the accuracy of the number of inventory parts, manual counting is used in the traditional production process to count the connections. However, this method is prone to errors when dealing with large quantities. Manual counting often results in incorrect quantities, resulting in missed or repeated counting.

[0003] Most of the current parts counting methods are to install infrared sensors on both sides of the conveyor belt, such as Figure 1 As shown, when parts are moved by the conveyor belt, each time the parts block infrared rays, it is counted once. However, if the parts are manually placed in a front-to-back connection, two or more items may be missed and counted only once. Or, due to the special structure of the parts themselves, a part may block infrared rays multiple times. This counting method is very inaccurate.

[0004] Therefore, we need a parts counting device and a method of using the same, which can solve the problem of repeated measurement of parts in the existing counting method, resulting in inaccurate counting. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a parts counting device and a method of using the same, which can solve the problem of repeated measurement of parts in existing counting methods, resulting in inaccurate counting.

Since the counting component is arranged below the conveyor belt, when the counting component detects the parts, the control device counts.

[0007] In the above technical scheme, the embodiment of the present application takes out one of the parts to be counted as a standard part, places it on the counting component, records the weight of the part as the standard weight through the control device, and then adjusts the movement speed of the conveyor device 1 to be less than the movement speed of the conveyor device 2. When the part is conveyed to the conveyor device 2, the different movement speeds will pull the distance between the two parts apart, so that a single part can be measured. If the weight detected by the counting component is not enough, the lifting motor is started to raise the baffle plate. If the rear of the part is close to other parts, it will be blocked by the raised baffle plate to ensure that a single part can be measured. When the part is conveyed to the counting component by the conveyor device 2, the part is detected by the counting component. If the weight of the part is the same as the standard weight, it is counted as one, and if it is exactly twice the standard weight, it is counted as two. The problem of repeated measurement of parts in the existing counting method, resulting in inaccurate counting, repeated counting or missing counting, is solved, and the effect of being able to perform a single measurement on the parts and ensuring accurate counting is achieved.

[0008] Further, according to an embodiment of the present application, the bracket is rectangular, the bracket is hollow, the two ends and the top of the bracket have openings, and the bracket has multiple connecting holes connected to the transmission assembly.

[0009] Further, according to an embodiment of the present application, there are two conveying devices, and the two conveying devices are arranged at an interval.

There are two rollers, both ends of which are connected to the brackets. The rollers are used to drive the conveyor belt to move; A transmission motor, which is arranged outside the bracket and is used to provide power; A reducer is arranged at one end of the roller and is connected to the roller.

The movement speed of conveyor 1 is slower than that of conveyor 2.

In addition, all embodiments can be used in combination with each other. Example

[0027] like Figure 2-4As shown, the present application discloses a parts counting device, including: a bracket 1; a conveying device 2, the conveying device 2 includes: a conveyor belt 21, the conveyor belt 21 is arranged in the bracket 1, and the conveyor belt 21 is used to convey parts; a transmission component 22, the transmission component 22 is arranged outside the bracket 1, the transmission component 22 is connected to the conveyor belt 21, and the transmission device is used to provide power to drive the conveyor belt 21 to move; a detection device 3, the detection device 3 includes: a mounting frame 31, the mounting frame 31 is arranged inside the bracket 1, the mounting frame 31 is located below the conveyor belt 21, and both ends of the mounting frame 31 are connected to the bracket 1 Connection; a counting component 32, the counting component 32 is arranged on the mounting frame 31, the bottom surface of the counting component 32 is connected to the mounting frame 31, and the top surface is in contact with the conveying frame, and the counting component 32 is used to count the parts; a control device 5, the control device 5 is arranged at one end of the mounting frame 31, and the control device 5 is used to control the detection device 3 to count; the transmission component 22 drives the conveyor belt 21 to move, and the parts are conveyed through the conveyor belt 21. Since the counting component 32 is arranged below the conveyor belt 21, when the counting component 32 detects the parts, the control device 5 counts.

[0028] Specifically, the bracket 1 is rectangular and hollow, with openings at both ends and the top of the bracket 1 , and the bracket 1 has a plurality of connection holes connected to the transmission assembly 22 .

[0029] Specifically, there are two conveying devices 2, which are arranged at intervals between the two conveying devices 2, namely conveying device 21 and conveying device 22. The conveying belt 21 of conveying device 21 runs at a speed lower than that of conveying device 22. Conveying device 22 is provided with a detection device 3. When in use, by adjusting the running speed of conveying device 21 to be lower than that of conveying device 22, it is ensured that if two parts are placed close together manually, due to the different conveying speeds between the two conveying devices 2, the front part will be separated from the rear part so that the counting component 32 can measure a single part, thereby ensuring the counting accuracy.

[0030] Specifically, the transmission assembly 22 includes: a roller 221, which is arranged inside the conveyor belt 21, and has two rollers 221, and both ends of the roller 221 are connected to the bracket 1, and the roller 221 is used to drive the conveyor belt 21 to move; a transmission motor 222, which is arranged outside the bracket 1, and is used to provide power; a reducer 223, which is arranged at one end of the roller 221, and is connected to the roller 221. The reducer 223 is connected to the transmission motor 222 through a V-belt.

[0031] Specifically, the counting component 32 is a gravity sensor. The counting component is used to record the weight of standard parts. When the weight of a part passes by without error, it is counted. When in use, a standard part is placed to record its weight as the standard weight. If the weight of the passing part is the same, it is counted as one. If the weight is exactly twice the standard weight, it may be that two parts are stacked manually, and then it is counted as two.

[0032] Specifically, the control device 5 is provided with an operation surface and a counting display panel, which facilitates the setting and totaling of the counting component 32 .

[0033] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the partition device 4 includes: a lifting motor 41, a blocking plate 42, a warning device 43, and a limiting groove 44. The limiting groove 44 is arranged between the conveying device 21 and the conveying device 22, and a groove is arranged inside the limiting groove 44 for placing the blocking plate 42. The limiting groove 44 is arranged inside the bracket 1, and is located on both sides of the middle. The blocking plate 42 is a square plate, and the two sides of the blocking plate 42 are inserted into the limiting groove 44. The two sides of the blocking plate 42 are serrated, which can cooperate with the gear. The bottom of the blocking plate 42 contacts the bracket 1, and the height of the blocking plate 42 is lower than the upward belt of the conveyor belt 21 to prevent the parts from colliding when passing. The top of the blocking plate 42 is a smooth elastic material, which is convenient for lifting the parts, preventing damage to the parts, and convenient for moving to the conveying device 22. The lifting motor 41 is arranged at the top of the limiting groove 44, and the front end of the lifting motor 41 is provided with a gear. The lifting motor 41 is fixedly arranged on the bracket 1, and its gear is inserted into the limiting groove 44 to cooperate with the serrated on the side of the blocking plate 42. The warning device 43 is also a gravity sensor, and it also records the standard weight of the parts when it is used. When the warning device 43 detects an abnormal weight, such as a weight that is twice the standard weight, there may be two situations: the parts are stacked or the two parts are placed close together. Then, when the counting component 32 also senses the weight, after meeting the two standards, the control device 5 can be used to control the lifting motor 41 to rotate, and the gear rotation can be used to control the blocking plate 42 to rise, so that the blocking plate 42 separates the parts. If they are stacked, they cannot be blocked. If they are placed close together, the two parts are separated, so that the number of parts can be accurately counted.

[0034] Specifically, the present application takes out one of the parts to be counted as a standard part, places it on the counting assembly 32, records the weight of the part as the standard weight through the control device 5, and then adjusts the movement speed of the conveyor 21 to be less than the movement speed of the conveyor 22. When the part is conveyed to the conveyor 22, the different movement speeds will pull the distance between the two parts apart, so that a single part can be measured. If the weight detected by the counting assembly 32 is not enough, the lifting motor 41 is started to raise the blocking plate 42. If the rear of the part is close to other parts, it will be blocked by the raised blocking plate 42, so that a single part can be measured. When the part is conveyed to the counting assembly 32 by the conveyor 22, the part is detected by the counting assembly 32. If the weight of the part is the same as the standard weight, it is counted as one, and if it is exactly twice the standard weight, it is counted as two. The problem of repeated measurement of parts in the existing counting method, resulting in inaccurate counting, repeated counting or missing counting, is solved, and the effect of being able to perform a single measurement on the parts and ensuring accurate counting is achieved. Example

[0035] The present application also discloses a method for using a parts counting device, comprising the following steps: Adjustment, take out one of the parts to be counted as a standard part, place it on the counting assembly 32, and record the weight of the part as the standard weight through the control device 5; Conveying: Workers place parts on conveyor 21, and the transmission assembly 22 drives the conveyor belt 21 to convey parts to conveyor 22. The movement speed of conveyor 21 is lower than that of conveyor 22. When parts are conveyed to conveyor 22, conveyor 22 will move the parts in front forward and distance them from the parts on conveyor 21, so that single parts can be measured; Separate, and if the counting component 32 detects the weight, the lifting motor 41 is started to lift the blocking plate 42, and the blocking plate 42 lifts the rear end of the component, and the component continues to move under the drive of the conveying device 22. If the rear of the component is close to other components, it will be blocked by the raised blocking plate 42, ensuring that a single component can be measured; Counting, when the parts are conveyed by the conveying device 2 to the counting component 32, the parts are detected by the counting component 32. If the weight of the parts is the same as the standard weight, it is counted as one. If it is exactly twice the standard weight, it is counted as two, and the total number is recorded by addition on the control device 5.
