A photoelectric switch 10 for counting is provided on the cap dropping channel.

[0034] Among them, a plurality of limiting grooves are arranged around the edge of the rotating disk 2, and a limiting groove can be used for a bottle cap to enter; therefore, under the action of the blowing tube 302, a plurality of bottle caps can be driven to enter the plurality of limiting grooves in turn, thereby separating a plurality of bottle caps, and under the action of the rotating disk 2, a plurality of bottle caps can be driven to enter the cap entering channel in turn, and finally fall into the cap falling channel and pass through the photoelectric switch 10 to realize counting.
