The counting sensor 14 counts the spare parts. When conveying spare parts of another specification, the guide plate 4 is driven to rotate in the reverse direction through the damping drive structure, so that the guide plate 4 guides the spare parts to between another group of the second side plate 6 and the first side plate 5, and then the spare parts of the other specification can be counted. It is convenient to move the spare parts to a preset track according to the specification of the spare parts, ensuring that the counting sensor 14 can count the spare parts, thereby avoiding the possibility of missing counts and improving the accuracy of counting.

[0036] Embodiment 2, on the basis of Embodiment 1, consists of Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 given. The horizontal adjustment mechanism includes a support sleeve 9 slidably sleeved outside the prism 8. A first rectangular hole 10 is opened at the top of the bracket 1. First guide grooves 12 are respectively opened on the inner walls of both sides of the first rectangular hole 10.

The first guide strips 13 and the second guide strips 18 are respectively located in the corresponding first guide grooves 12. The bracket 1 is equipped with a pressing unit adapted to the support sleeve 9 and the support block 17. The pressing unit includes a pressing plate 19 arranged above the bracket 1. A second rectangular hole 20 adapted to the prism 8 is opened at the top of the pressing plate 19. The prism 8 penetrates through the second rectangular hole 20. Two first hydraulic expansion rods 21 are fixedly installed on the bracket 1. The telescopic ends of the first hydraulic expansion rods 21 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressing plate 19. The tops of the support block 17 and the support sleeve 9 are respectively in contact with the bottom of the pressing plate 19.

[0037] The staff drives the mounting seat 2 and the prism 8 to move horizontally relative to the bracket 1. The prism 8 drives the first guiding strip 13 to slide in the first guiding groove 12 through the support sleeve 9, and the distance between the two mounting seats 2 can be adjusted. The staff drives the counting sensor 14 and the second connecting plate 15 to slide relative to the bracket 1, so that the second connecting plate 15 drives the corresponding second guiding strip 18 to slide in the first guiding groove 12 through the support block 17. And the staff drives the second side plate 6 and the third connecting plate 16 to move, so that the third connecting plate 16 drives the corresponding second guiding strip 18 to slide in the first guiding groove 12 through the support block 17. After the positions of the mounting seat 2, the second side plate 6 and the counting sensor 14 are adjusted, the pressing plate 19 is driven to move downward by the first hydraulic telescopic rod 21. The pressing plate 19 presses the tops of the support sleeve 9 and the support block 17, so that the support sleeve 9 and the support block 17 are fixed relative to the bracket 1.

[0038] Embodiment 3, on the basis of Embodiment 1, is given by Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The vertical sliding assembly includes two pressing blocks 27 arranged below the bracket 1. The pressing block 27 is provided with a limiting groove 28 adapted to the prism 8, and the prism 8 is in contact with the inner wall of the limiting groove 28. The side of the bracket 1 is provided with a movable plate 22. The bracket 1 is fixedly installed with two second hydraulic telescopic rods 25. The telescopic ends of the second hydraulic telescopic rods 25 and the movable plate 22 are fixedly connected through a fourth connecting plate 26. The side of the movable plate 22 facing the bracket 1 is provided with a sliding groove 23. Two sliding blocks 24 are slidably arranged in the sliding groove 23. The pressing block 27 is provided with an elastic member adapted to the sliding block 24. The elastic member includes a fixed block 29 fixedly installed on the side of the pressing block 27 facing the movable plate 22. The side of the fixed block 29 facing the movable plate 22 is provided with a groove 30. A movable block 31 is slidably arranged in the groove 30. One end of the movable block 31 is fixedly connected to the sliding block 24, and the other end of the movable block 31 is connected to the inner wall of the groove 30 through a first compression spring 11. The top inner wall and the bottom inner wall of the sliding groove 23 are respectively provided with second guiding grooves 33. The top and the bottom of the sliding block 24 are respectively fixedly connected with third guiding strips 34, and the third guiding strips 34 are located in the corresponding second guiding grooves 33. A plurality of receiving grooves 35 are provided on the side of the sliding block 24 away from the pressing block 27. A ball 36 is arranged in the receiving groove 35, and the ball 36 is in contact with the inner wall of the sliding groove 23;

[0039] When the prism 8 and the mounting base 2 move horizontally, the prism 8 drives the slider 24 to slide in the chute 23 through the pressing block 27, the fixed block 29 and the movable block 31, and the slider 24 drives the third guiding strip 34 to slide in the second guiding groove 33. Through the design of the second guiding groove 33 and the third guiding strip 34, the slider 24 can move smoothly relative to the chute 23, and the ball 36 rolls on the inner wall of the chute 23. Through the design of the ball 36, the resistance when the slider 24 slides relative to the chute 23 is reduced. And the first compression spring 11 is in a compressed state in the initial state. The first compression spring 11 applies pressure to the fixed block 29 and the pressing block 27, and the pressing block 27 presses the prism 8 to fix the prism 8 relative to the pressing block 27. When the mounting base 2 is fixedly installed at a preset position, the staff drives the bracket 1, the second hydraulic telescopic rod 25, the movable plate 22 and the pressing block 27 to slide vertically relative to the prism 8, so that the bracket 1 can move vertically relative to the mounting base 2 to change the initial height of the second side plate 6 and the guiding plate 4. When it is not necessary to adjust the height of the bracket 1, the fourth connecting plate 26 and the movable plate 22 are driven to move by the second hydraulic telescopic rod 25. The movable plate 22 drives the movable block 31 to slide relative to the fixed block 29 through the slider 24, reducing the length of the first compression spring 11 and increasing the force of the first compression spring 11 pressing the fixed block 29 and the pressing block 27, which can increase the friction between the limiting groove 28 and the prism 8, reduce the possibility of the bracket 1 sliding vertically relative to the mounting base 2 and the prism 8, and improve the overall stability.

[0040] Embodiment 4, on the basis of Embodiment 1, consists of Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 presented. The damping drive structure includes a rotating shaft 37 rotatably installed on the control box 3. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 37 is fixedly connected to the top of the guiding plate 4, and the top end of the rotating shaft 37 is fixedly connected with a first damping disk 38 located inside the control box 3. Above the first damping disk 38 is a connecting shaft 39. A support frame 40 is rotatably sleeved outside the connecting shaft 39. The bottom end of the connecting shaft 39 is fixedly connected with a second damping disk 41, and the bottom of the second damping disk 41 is in contact with the top of the first damping disk 38. The control box 3 is equipped with a driver adapted to the connecting shaft 39. An activity ring 45 is arranged inside the control box 3. The control box 3 is fixedly installed with a number of third hydraulic telescopic rods 46. The telescopic ends of the third hydraulic telescopic rods 46 are fixedly connected to the top of the activity ring 45. At least two fixed columns 47 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the activity ring 45. The fixed columns 47 penetrate through the support frame 40. A second compression spring 32 is sleeved outside the fixed columns 47, and the two ends of the second compression spring 32 are respectively abutted against the activity ring 45 and the support frame 40. The driver includes a servo motor 42 arranged on the top of the control box 3, and the servo motor 42 and the control box 3 are connected by a number of bolts. A slot 44 is opened at the top of the connecting shaft 39, and the output end of the servo motor 42 is fixedly connected with a plug 43 located inside the slot 44;

[0041] The plug 43 is driven to rotate by the servo motor 42. The plug 43 drives the second damping disc 41 to rotate through the connecting shaft 39. The second damping disc 41 can drive the first damping disc 38 and the rotating shaft 37 to rotate through friction. The rotating shaft 37 can drive the guide plate 4 to rotate. When the guide plate 4 contacts one of the second side plates 6, the guide plate 4 is in an inclined state. As the second damping disc 41 continues to rotate, the second damping disc 41 cannot drive the first damping disc 38 to rotate synchronously through friction, ensuring that the guide plate 4 automatically stops after rotating to the preset position. The movable ring 45 and the fixed column 47 are driven to move downward by the third hydraulic expansion link 46. The fixed column 47 slides relative to the support frame 40, and the distance between the movable ring 45 and the support frame 40 changes, changing the deformation degree of the second compression spring 32, so that the pressure exerted by the second compression spring 32 on the support frame 40 changes, thereby adjusting the friction between the second damping disc 41 and the first damping disc 38. When the servo motor 42 needs to be removed, the staff drives the bolt on the servo motor 42 to rotate to release the fixation of the servo motor 42. The staff drives the servo motor 42 to move upward so that the plug 43 disengages from the slot 44, and the plug 43 is withdrawn from the control box 3, completing the removal of the servo motor 42, which is convenient for replacing and overhauling the servo motor 42.

[0042] A method for counting automotive parts in this embodiment uses the automotive parts counting device as described above, including the following steps:

[0043] Step 1: The staff fixedly installs the mounting seat 2 on the production line conveyor device through bolts. When the production line conveyor device conveys parts, the guide plate 4 is driven to rotate through the damping drive structure. The guide plate 4 is inclined relative to the first side plate 5 and the second side plate 6.

[0044] Step 2: The parts are guided to between one group of the second side plate 6 and the first side plate 5 through the guide plate 4 and are guided by the second side plate 6 and the first side plate 5 so that the parts are conveyed to directly below the counting sensor 14, and the parts are counted by the counting sensor 14.

[0045] Step 3: When conveying parts of another specification, the guide plate 4 is driven to rotate in the reverse direction through the damping drive structure so that the guide plate 4 guides the parts to between the other group of the second side plate 6 and the first side plate 5, and the parts of the other specification can be counted.

[0046] Working principle: Adjust the initial distance between two mounting seats 2 through the horizontal adjustment mechanism. The staff fixes the mounting seats 2 on the conveying device of the production line through bolts. According to the specifications of the spare parts, the staff drives the second side plate 6 and the counting sensor 14 to slide horizontally relative to the bracket 1 through the horizontal adjustment mechanism, so that the distance between the second side plate 6 and the first side plate 5 is at a preset value, and the counting sensor 14 is centered relative to the second side plate 6 and the first side plate 5. The staff drives the bracket 1 to move vertically relative to the prism 8 through the vertical sliding assembly, changing the height of the bracket 1 relative to the conveying device of the production line, so that the guide plate 4, the first side plate 5 and the second side plate 6 are at a preset height relative to the conveying device of the production line. When the conveying device of the production line conveys the spare parts, the guide plate 4 is driven to rotate through the damping drive structure, so that the guide plate 4 is inclined relative to the first side plate 5 and the second side plate 6. The spare parts are guided to between one group of the second side plate 6 and the first side plate 5 through the guide plate 4, and are guided through the second side plate 6 and the first side plate 5, so that the spare parts are conveyed to directly below the counting sensor 14. The counting sensor 14 counts the spare parts. When conveying spare parts of another specification, the guide plate 4 is driven to rotate in the reverse direction through the damping drive structure, so that the guide plate 4 guides the spare parts to between another group of the second side plate 6 and the first side plate 5, and then the spare parts of the other specification can be counted. It is convenient to make the spare parts move to the preset track according to the specifications of the spare parts, ensuring that the counting sensor 14 can count the spare parts, thus avoiding the possibility of missing counts and improving the accuracy of counting;

[0047] The staff drives the mounting seats 2 and the prism 8 to move horizontally relative to the bracket 1. The prism 8 drives the first guide bar 13 to slide in the first guide groove 12 through the support sleeve 9, and the distance between the two mounting seats 2 can be adjusted. The staff drives the counting sensor 14 and the second connecting plate 15 to slide relative to the bracket 1, so that the second connecting plate 15 drives the corresponding second guide bar 18 to slide in the first guide groove 12 through the support block 17. And the staff drives the second side plate 6 and the third connecting plate 16 to move, so that the third connecting plate 16 drives the corresponding second guide bar 18 to slide in the first guide groove 12 through the support block 17. After the positions of the mounting seats 2, the second side plate 6 and the counting sensor 14 are adjusted, the pressing plate 19 is driven to move downwards by the first hydraulic expansion link 21. The pressing plate 19 presses the tops of the support sleeve 9 and the support block 17, so that the support sleeve 9 and the support block 17 are fixed relative to the bracket 1;

[0048] When the prism 8 and the mounting base 2 move horizontally, the prism 8 drives the slider 24 to slide in the chute 23 through the pressing block 27, the fixed block 29 and the movable block 31, and the slider 24 drives the third guiding strip 34 to slide in the second guiding groove 33. Through the design of the second guiding groove 33 and the third guiding strip 34, the slider 24 can move smoothly relative to the chute 23, and the ball 36 rolls on the inner wall of the chute 23. Through the design of the ball 36, the resistance when the slider 24 slides relative to the chute 23 is reduced. And the first compression spring 11 is in a compressed state in the initial state. The first compression spring 11 applies pressure to the fixed block 29 and the pressing block 27, and the pressing block 27 presses the prism 8 to fix the prism 8 relative to the pressing block 27. When the mounting base 2 is fixedly installed at a preset position, the staff drives the bracket 1, the second hydraulic telescopic rod 25, the movable plate 22 and the pressing block 27 to slide vertically relative to the prism 8, so that the bracket 1 can move vertically relative to the mounting base 2, changing the initial heights of the second side plate 6 and the guiding plate 4. When it is not necessary to adjust the height of the bracket 1, the fourth connecting plate 26 and the movable plate 22 are driven to move by the second hydraulic telescopic rod 25. The movable plate 22 drives the movable block 31 to slide relative to the fixed block 29 through the slider 24, reducing the length of the first compression spring 11 and increasing the force of the first compression spring 11 pressing the fixed block 29 and the pressing block 27, which can increase the friction between the limiting groove 28 and the prism 8, reducing the possibility of the bracket 1 sliding vertically relative to the mounting base 2 and the prism 8, and improving the overall stability;

[0049] The plug 43 is driven to rotate by the servo motor 42. The plug 43 drives the second damping disc 41 to rotate through the connecting shaft 39. The second damping disc 41 can drive the first damping disc 38 and the rotating shaft 37 to rotate through friction. The rotating shaft 37 can drive the guiding plate 4 to rotate. When the guiding plate 4 contacts one of the second side plates 6, the guiding plate 4 is in an inclined state. As the second damping disc 41 continues to rotate, the second damping disc 41 cannot drive the first damping disc 38 to rotate synchronously through friction, ensuring that the guiding plate 4 automatically stops after rotating to the preset position. The movable ring 45 and the fixed column 47 are driven to move downward by the third hydraulic telescopic rod 46. The fixed column 47 slides relative to the support frame 40, and the distance between the movable ring 45 and the support frame 40 changes, changing the deformation degree of the second compression spring 32, so that the pressure exerted by the second compression spring 32 on the support frame 40 changes, thereby adjusting the friction between the second damping disc 41 and the first damping disc 38. When the servo motor 42 needs to be removed, the staff drives the bolt on the servo motor 42 to rotate to release the fixation of the servo motor 42. The staff drives the servo motor 42 to move upward so that the plug 43 disengages from the slot 44, and the plug 43 is withdrawn from the control box 3, completing the removal of the servo motor 42, which is convenient for replacing and overhauling the servo motor 42.
