[0002] Insulators are generally divided into glass insulators, porcelain insulators and composite insulators, and are generally heavier. The higher the voltage level of the insulator, the larger its size and volume tend to be in order to meet the requirements of electrical performance and mechanical strength. The counting device for glass insulator production is a device that counts the glass insulators after processing.

[0003] Currently, glass insulators need to be counted by cameras during transportation. However, camera counting is often affected by the environment of the camera's outer wall or the transportation speed of the glass insulators, resulting in inaccurate counting, thereby reducing the accuracy of glass insulator counting.
