TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of defective product counting, and particularly relates to a pipeline piston defective product limit response counter. BACKGROUND
[0002] The piston is the "heart" of the automobile engine, bearing alternating mechanical and thermal loads, and is one of the key components in the engine with the most severe working conditions. The function of the piston is to bear the gas pressure and transmit it to the connecting rod through the piston pin to drive the crankshaft to rotate, and the top of the piston is also a component of the combustion chamber. In the production pipeline of the piston, it is inevitable to produce pistons that do not meet the quality standards. In order to avoid the flow of unqualified pistons into the next production process, the production line staff needs to conduct quality inspection on the pistons, and the serious defective products and defective products need to be placed in a special storage box for separate treatment. However, in the actual production process, the number of serious defective products appearing in a production batch has exceeded the predetermined number of defective product limit responses, but the production line staff cannot timely detect the potential problems of the production line, resulting in a high frequency of defective products, affecting the production efficiency and causing economic losses. SUMMARY
[0003] The purpose of the present application is to provide a counter that can monitor the number of defective products such as pistons in the pipeline in real time, especially when the number of defective products reaches a predetermined limit response number, an alarm can be sent to remind the pipeline operator to conduct quality inspection and screening in time, avoid the further flow of defective products into the next process, thereby improving production efficiency, reducing resource waste and quality problems in the production process, and ultimately ensuring the stable operation of the production line and product quality.
[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme: a pipeline piston defective product limit response counter, comprising:
[0005] Cabinet structure: the counter includes a cabinet, the cabinet is connected with the cabinet door through a hinge, facilitating the opening and closing of the cabinet door, and the cabinet door is provided with a cabinet lock to ensure the safe storage of the items in the cabinet. The design of the cabinet aims to ensure that all functional components can be efficiently integrated and facilitate maintenance and operation.
[0006] Counting and warning system: the counter is equipped with an LED nixie tube display screen, which can display the number of defective products in real time, facilitating the monitoring of the number of defective products on the pipeline by the operator. The LED nixie tube is controlled by a power switch, and is also equipped with a power indicator light to indicate the working state of the system. The counter also includes warning lights and a buzzer, which will automatically start when the number of defective products reaches the set limit value, reminding the operator to take timely measures to avoid the accumulation and flow of defective products into the next process.
[0007] Photoelectric switch and control button: The counter is equipped with a photoelectric switch, mainly used for identifying and counting the number of serious defective products placed in the cabinet. Users can set the limit response number of defective products through the increase limit button and decrease limit button on the outside of the cabinet according to production needs. When the number of serious defective products placed reaches the preset value, the system will trigger an alarm and update the number of defective products in real time on the LED digital tube.
[0008] Circuit board design: All control elements (including LED digital tube, power switch, power indicator, warning light, buzzer, photoelectric switch, increase limit button, and decrease limit button) are connected by the same circuit board, which is installed inside the cabinet to ensure stable system operation and facilitate later maintenance and upgrades.
[0009] Cabinet lock design: To ensure the safety and ease of operation of the cabinet door, the cabinet lock uses a simple and effective design. The cabinet lock consists of a cabinet lock base, a movable pawl, a bolt, a washer, a nut, and a cabinet lock control rod. When the cabinet lock control rod passes through the head of the movable pawl, it can drive the pawl to rise, allowing the cabinet lock control rod to pass through the cabinet lock base and the movable pawl. When the cabinet lock control rod reaches the middle of the pawl, the pawl realizes the function of closing and locking the cabinet door. The cabinet lock can lock and unlock the cabinet door by moving the cabinet lock control rod forward and backward. This design is not only simple but also efficient, reducing the use of traditional complex cabinet lock structures and ensuring the convenient opening and closing of the cabinet door.
[0010] Preferably, the power switch control system of the counter not only ensures that the equipment can start normally, but also is equipped with a power indicator to reflect the on-off state of the equipment in real time. To avoid the equipment being in standby state for a long time, the system is designed with an automatic power-off function to improve energy utilization efficiency.
[0011] Preferably, the LED digital tube adopts a high-brightness design, which can clearly display the real-time number of defective products under various light conditions. The update frequency of the digital tube matches the recognition accuracy of the photoelectric switch, ensuring that the number can be quickly and accurately updated after each defective product enters the counting system. The operator can easily understand the number of defective products on the production line through the digital tube, so as to take necessary adjustment measures.
[0012] Preferably, the increase limit button and decrease limit button are connected with the internal circuit, allowing the operator to adjust the limit response number of defective products in real time according to production needs. This design provides support for the flexibility and precise control of the production line, helping to dynamically adjust according to different production batches and quality standards.
[0013] Preferably, when the number of defective products reaches the set limit, the counter will issue a warning through both a warning light and a buzzer. The warning light can be designed to flash, making it clearly visible in any environment, while the buzzer is designed with a high-frequency sound to ensure that the operator receives the warning information in time and quickly conducts quality inspection, even in a noisy production environment.
[0014] Preferably, to facilitate classification and organization, multiple partitions are designed inside the cabinet body, and the left cabinet body is specifically used to store serious defective products. There are labels above each area, clearly marking "serious defective products" or "defective products", so that the staff can quickly classify according to the quality standards and take appropriate measures for defective products of different grades.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the present application are:
[0016] Timely detection and handling of defective products: The counter monitors the number of defective products in real time during the operation of the assembly line, issues a warning in time, effectively avoids the accumulation of defective products, and reduces economic losses caused by product quality problems.
[0017] Improving production efficiency: Through automatic counting and real-time alarm, the time for manual counting and visual inspection is reduced, the production efficiency is improved, and the smooth operation of the assembly line is ensured.
[0018] Easy and flexible operation: The number of defective product limit responses can be set by increasing and decreasing buttons, and the design of the cabinet door lock is simple and efficient, making the device convenient and fast to use, and quickly adapting to the needs of different production batches.
[0019] Reliable safety: The design of the cabinet lock ensures the safety of the device, prevents accidental operation or accidental unlocking, and ensures that the items stored in the device are not taken out or disturbed at will. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0026] It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present application have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.
[0028] In the present application, unless otherwise specified, the orientation such as "up, down" is generally directed to the direction shown in the drawings, or to the vertical, perpendicular or gravity direction; similarly, for the convenience of understanding and description, "left, right" is generally directed to the left and right shown in the drawings; "inner, outer" refers to the inner and outer relative to the contour of each component itself, but the above orientation words are not used to limit the present application.
[0029] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 , the present application proposes a pipeline piston defective product limit response counter. The basic structure of the counter includes a cabinet 1, which is connected with the cabinet door 2 through the hinge 4, facilitating opening and closing. The cabinet door 2 is provided with a cabinet lock 4 in the middle, ensuring the safety of the goods in the cabinet. The LED nixie tube 5 is fixed above the cabinet 1, and the nixie tube display screen is inlaid on the surface of the cabinet, used for displaying the number of defective products. The power switch 6, the power indicator 7, the warning light 8, the buzzer 9, the increase limit button 11 and the decrease limit button 12 and other control buttons are inlaid on the surface of the cabinet. The photoelectric switch 10 is inlaid inside the left side of the cabinet 1, responsible for counting the defective products put into the cabinet.
[0030] When the user starts the power switch 6, the power indicator light 7 will always be on, indicating that the counter is in working condition. The user can set the limit response number of defective products by increasing the limit value button 11 and decreasing the limit value button 12. To this end, the operator will place the serious defective products in the cabinet 1, and specially mark the left side of the cabinet 1 area as "serious defective products". The photoelectric switch 10 will count and record the number of serious defective products put into the left cabinet in real time, and display the current count on the LED nixie tube 5. Whenever the number of serious defective products in the left cabinet reaches the set limit response number, the warning light 8 and the buzzer 9 will work simultaneously, issuing a sound and light alarm, prompting the assembly line operator to check the production line status in time, avoiding further accumulation of defective products, thereby improving production efficiency and avoiding the inconvenience and errors of manual counting.
[0031] Reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 3 to the accompanying drawings Figure 5 The cabinet lock 4 includes a cabinet lock base body 401, a movable pawl 402, a bolt 403, a washer 404, a nut 405 and a cabinet lock control rod 406.
