The supporting rods 112 are used to support the top surface of the conveying belt 110, so that a plurality of cartons 400 are conveyed on the top surface of the conveying belt 110. The rollers 113 are used to drive the conveying belt 110 to move. One end of the conveying channel 100 is the carton 400 entry end, and the other end opposite to the carton 400 entry end is connected to the pushing mechanism 300 and the arranging mechanism. The conveying direction of the cartons 400 is from the carton 400 entry end to the arranging mechanism. The cartons 400 are inclined to the conveying direction, and the fish scale-shaped cartons 400 overlap with each other with different intervals. The cartons 400 are staggered left and right, i.e., the cartons 400 are not aligned in the vertical direction of the conveying belt 110. The vertical direction of the conveying belt 110 refers to the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying belt 110.

[0035] The separating counting mechanism 200 comprises an adjusting platform, a guide rail assembly 210, a receiving platform, a partition assembly, a first driving motor 231, a second driving motor 232 and a visual acquisition device 240. The guide rail assembly 210, the receiving platform and the second driving motor 232 are mounted on the adjusting platform, one end of the receiving platform is connected to the conveying channel 100, and the adjusting platform is movably connected to the partition assembly and the first driving motor 231 through the guide rail assembly 210. The guide rail assembly 210 comprises a plurality of first guide rails 211, a second guide rail 213 and an adjusting plate 212, a plurality of the first guide rails 211 are mounted on the adjusting platform, the adjusting plate 212 is slidably connected to the plurality of first guide rails 211, one side of the adjusting plate 212 facing the first guide rails 211 is connected to the output end of the second driving motor 232, and the other side of the adjusting plate 212 away from the adjusting platform is connected to the first driving motor 231 and the second guide rail 213. The first guide rails 211 are perpendicular to the second guide rail 213, and the conveying belt 110 is perpendicular to the second guide rail 213. The partition assembly comprises a partition and a connecting piece, the second guide rail 213 and the connecting piece are slidably connected, and the output end of the first driving motor 231 is connected to the connecting piece to drive the partition assembly to reciprocate along the vertical direction of the conveying channel 100. The output end of the second driving motor 232 is connected to the guide rail assembly 210 to drive the partition assembly to reciprocate along the direction of the conveying channel 100 through the guide rail assembly 210. The partition comprises a partition main body 220 and a slope part 221, the connecting piece is connected to the partition main body 220, and one end of the partition main body 220 away from the connecting piece is connected to the slope part 221. Preferably, the adjusting platform comprises a platform plate and a support frame 201, two support frames 201 are respectively located on the two sides of the first rack 101, two first guide rails 211 are mounted on the platform plate, and the first guide rails 211 are parallel to the conveying belt 110. The connecting piece comprises a sliding rack, the output end of the first driving motor 231 is engaged with the sliding rack through a gear to drive the connecting piece to slide on the second guide rail 213 towards or away from the conveying belt 110. Similarly, the output end of the second driving motor 232 drives the adjusting plate 212 to move on the first guide rail 211, i.e., to move along the direction of the conveying belt 110, so that the partition can approach or move away from the arranging mechanism. The partition main body 220 is in a bent shape, so that the distance between the slope part 221 and the arranging mechanism is greater than the distance between the connecting piece and the arranging mechanism, and the side wall of the partition main body 220 is perpendicular to the top surface of the conveying belt 110.It can be understood that the motor is used to make the speed of the partition plate faster, and the partition plate can reciprocate quickly to move above the conveying belt 110, insert into the carton flow, play a partitioning role, and move towards the arrangement mechanism to clamp a plurality of cartons 400. Further, according to the preset number of carton stacks and the thickness of the cartons 400, the size of the vertically arranged carton stack can be calculated to determine the initial position of the partition plate, that is, the position of the partition plate inserted into the carton flow. The initial position of the partition plate can be flexibly adjusted by the guide rail assembly 210, and the partition counting mechanism 200 has good adaptability to cartons 400 of different thicknesses and different packaging requirements.

[0036] The side of the adjustment platform facing the guide rail assembly 210 is provided with a third guide rail 241, and a shooting support 242 is slidably connected to the third guide rail 241. The vision acquisition device 240 is installed on the shooting support 242, and the vision acquisition device 240 is used to acquire a plurality of carton images to count the number of cartons to be packaged according to the plurality of carton images and the position of the partition plate. Preferably, a virtual counting line is divided according to the position of the partition plate. When the partition plate moves above the conveying belt 110, the side wall of the partition plate body 220 facing the arrangement mechanism is the setting position of the counting line. When the carton image is recognized, the counting line coordinates are established in the image, and the number of cartons exceeding the counting line is the number of cartons to be arranged and packaged. It can be understood that the image recognition method for counting the number of cartons has good accuracy and avoids the error of manual counting, saving manpower.

[0037] The receiving platform includes a transition plate 250 and a packaging conveying plate 260. The packaging conveying plate 260 is connected to the adjustment platform. One side of the packaging conveying plate 260 is connected to the transition plate 250. The side of the transition plate 250 away from the packaging conveying plate 260 is connected to the side of the conveying belt frame 111. The top surface of the conveying belt 110 is flush with the top surface of the transition plate 250. Preferably, the installation of the transition plate 250 is flexible. The size of the transition plate 250 is determined according to the size of the packaging conveying plate 260 and the distance between the support frame 201 and the conveying channel 100. When the partition plate moves above the conveying belt 110 and is inserted between a plurality of cartons 400, a conveying belt outlet is formed between the partition plate and the arrangement mechanism. The position of the transition plate 250 corresponds to the position of the conveying belt outlet. It can be understood that a plurality of counted cartons 400 can be pushed from the conveying belt outlet to the transition plate 250.

[0038] The arrangement mechanism comprises a fixed frame 120, a cylinder 121 and a push plate 130, and the slope part 221 is formed as a slope on the side opposite to the push plate 130. The conveying channel 100 is connected with the fixed frame 120, the fixed frame 120 is installed on the conveying channel 100 through the fixed frame guide rail 115, the cylinder 121 is installed on the fixed frame 120, the fixed frame 120 is used for abutting against the carton 400, and the push plate 130 is perpendicular to the top surface of the conveying channel 100. The output end of the cylinder 121 is fixedly connected with the push plate 130, so as to push the push plate 130 along the conveying channel 100 to a plurality of cartons 400, when the push plate 130 pushes the plurality of cartons 400, the baffle assembly is driven to move towards the conveying channel 100 through the first driving motor 231, and the baffle is inserted between the plurality of cartons 400. The fixed frame 120 comprises a first plate body, a second plate body, a third plate body and two inclined plates 122, the first plate body and the second plate body are connected with the two side walls of the conveying belt frame 111 respectively, the third plate body is connected between the first plate body and the second plate body, and the cylinder 121 is connected on the third plate body. The side of the first plate body towards the second plate body and the side of the second plate body towards the first plate body are connected with the inclined plates 122 respectively, the two inclined plates 122 are oppositely arranged, and the inclined plates 122 are used for abutting against the carton 400. Preferably, when the carton flow reaches the arrangement mechanism, the head carton 400 first reaching the arrangement mechanism abuts against the inclined plates 122 preferentially, for the head carton 400 falling down under the gravity, the inclined plates 122 can shovel up the head carton 400 to make it lean on the inclined plates 122 in an inclined state, for the head carton 400 having a certain inclined angle, the inclined plates 122 can also make it keep a certain inclined angle, when the cartons 400 passing through the counting line reach a preset number, the push plate 130 is pushed out from between the two inclined plates 122 to the middle part of the head carton 400, because the side of the head carton 400 opposite to the inclined plates 122 overlaps with other cartons 400, has a certain resistance, therefore the push plate 130 can push the head carton 400 from the inclined state to the vertical state, so as to drive other cartons 400 to become in the vertical state, meanwhile, the baffle moves, the slope part 221 is inserted into the gap between the cartons 400, and the baffle moves towards the push plate 130 under the driving of the second driving motor 232, so as to compress the plurality of cartons 400 between the baffle and the push plate 130, eliminate the uneven interval between the cartons 400, and make the preset number of cartons 400 form a compressed carton group arranged in the vertical state. It can be understood that the separation counting mechanism 200 cooperates with the arrangement mechanism, so as to complete the separating and arranging actions in a short time.

[0039] The pushing-out mechanism 300 is used for pushing the to-be-packed carton stack along the receiving platform to a packing machine, and comprises a second frame 301, slide rails 310, movable arms 320 and pushing arms 330.

Understandably, the plurality of cartons 400 output in a fish scale shape are staggered left and right, and the to-be-packed carton stack is also staggered left and right after being formed, when the pushing arms 330 push the to-be-packed carton stack out, the second sub-arms push the to-be-packed carton stack from the side of the to-be-packed carton stack away from the transition plate 250, and the plurality of cartons 400 are further aligned in the process of pushing the to-be-packed carton stack out, so that the cartons 400 after being stacked are pushed to the packing machine in an orderly manner, and the problems of counting error, low packing quality and poor packing quality caused by manually counting, stacking, arranging and then putting the fish scale shaped cartons output by a carton erector into a packing machine in the traditional way are solved.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 5 The second embodiment of the present application provides a fish scale shaped carton counting and stacking method, which applies the fish scale shaped carton counting and stacking device as described in the first embodiment, and comprises the following steps:

[0041] Step S10: several fish-scale-shaped paper boxes 400 are transported to the arrangement mechanism through the conveying channel 100, and the paper boxes 400 abut against the inclined plate 122 at the front end of the fixed frame 120 in the arrangement mechanism, so that when the paper box flow reaches the arrangement mechanism, the first head paper box 400 reaching the arrangement mechanism abuts against the inclined plate 122, and for the head paper box 400 falling under gravity, the inclined plate 122 scoops up the head paper box 400 to be inclined on the inclined plate 122, and for the head paper box 400 with a certain inclination angle, the inclined plate 122 also makes it be inclined on the inclined plate 122;

[0042] Step S20: a preset stacking number is obtained, and several paper box images are collected by the visual collection device 240;

[0043] Step S30: based on the position of the partition plate, a statistical line is divided on the conveying channel 100, and based on the statistical line and the several paper box images, the number of paper boxes 400 to be arranged between the arrangement mechanism and the statistical line is counted;

[0044] Step S40: when the number of paper boxes 400 to be arranged is equal to the preset stacking number, the cylinder 121 in the arrangement mechanism is started to push the push plate 130 in the arrangement mechanism, so that several paper boxes 400 between the fixed frame 120 and the statistical line are erected;

[0045] Step S50: the first driving motor 231 is started to drive the partition plate assembly to move vertically along the conveying channel 100, so that the partition plate is inserted between several paper boxes 400, and the second driving motor 232 is started to drive the partition plate assembly to move along the conveying direction of the conveying channel 100 through the guide rail assembly 210, so that the partition plate moves towards the push plate 130, and several paper boxes 400 between the partition plate and the push plate 130 form a paper box stack to be packed;

The adjustment platform is equipped with the guide rail assembly, the receiving platform, and the second drive motor. One end of the receiving platform corresponds to the conveyor channel. The adjustment platform is movably connected to the partition assembly and the first drive motor via the guide rail assembly. The partition assembly includes a connector and a partition connected to the connector. The output end of the first drive motor is connected to... The connector drives the partition assembly to reciprocate vertically along the conveying channel. The output end of the second drive motor is connected to the guide rail assembly, which drives the partition assembly to reciprocate along the conveying direction of the conveying channel. The sorting mechanism includes a fixed frame, a cylinder, and a push plate. The conveying channel is connected to the fixed frame, and the fixed frame is connected to the cylinder. The inclined plate at the front end of the fixed frame is used to abut against the cartons conveyed by the conveying channel. The output end of the cylinder is connected to the push plate to push several cartons on the conveying channel. The vision acquisition device identifies the number of cartons in the stack of cartons to be packed. The pushing mechanism is used to push the stack of cartons to be packed along the receiving platform to the packing machine. The fish-scale cardboard box counting and stacking equipment includes the following steps when performing stacking: Several cartons arranged in a fish-scale pattern are conveyed to the sorting mechanism through a conveyor channel, and the cartons abut against the inclined plate at the front end of the fixed frame in the sorting mechanism. When the cartons arrive at the sorting mechanism, the first carton to arrive at the sorting mechanism will preferentially abut against the inclined plate. For the first cartons that fall due to gravity, the inclined plate will scoop up the first cartons and make them lean against the inclined plate at an angle. For the first cartons with a certain angle of inclination, the inclined plate will also make them lean against the inclined plate at an angle. Obtain the preset stacking quantity and acquire several carton images through the vision acquisition device; Based on the position of the partition, statistical lines are drawn on the conveying channel. Based on the statistical lines and several images of the cartons, the number of cartons to be sorted located between the sorting mechanism and the statistical lines is counted. When the number of cartons to be sorted is equal to the preset stacking number, the cylinder in the sorting mechanism is activated, and the push plate in the sorting mechanism is pushed by the cylinder to make several cartons located between the fixed frame and the counting line stand up. Simultaneously, the first drive motor is started to drive the partition assembly to move vertically along the conveying channel, so that the partition is inserted between several cartons. The second drive motor is started to drive the partition assembly to move along the conveying direction of the conveying channel through the guide rail assembly, so that the partition moves toward the push plate. The several cartons between the partition and the push plate form a stack of cartons to be packed. The ejection mechanism is activated to push the stack of cartons to be packed along the receiving platform to the packing machine.
