DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0018] See also Figure 1-4The utility model provides a technical solution: a cigarette pack counting device, comprising a base 1, a counting mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1, the counting mechanism 2 comprises a working shell 21, the upper end of the base 1 is fixedly connected to the working shell 21, the surface of the working shell 21 is rotatably connected with a rotating rod 22 that runs through it through a ball bearing, one end of the rotating rod 22 is fixedly connected with a trigger plate 24 through a connecting plate 23, one end of the rotating rod 22 extending to the inside of the working shell 21 is fixedly connected with a connecting block 25, the upper end of the connecting block 25 is fixedly connected with a rotating ring 26, the surface of the rotating ring 26 is slidably connected with a sliding plate 27, a spring 28 is wound around the surface of the rotating ring 26, one end of the spring 28 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 27, and the other end of the spring 28 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 25, a counting controller 29 is installed inside the working shell 21, and a sensing rod 291 is installed on the upper end of the counting controller 29, and the sensing rod 291 is correspondingly arranged with the sliding plate 27.

[0019] In the present embodiment, when the cigarette pack contacts the trigger plate 24, the trigger plate 24 rotates, thereby driving the rotating rod 22 to rotate through the connecting plate 23. The rotating rod 22 rotates, thereby driving the rotating ring 26 to rotate through the connecting block 25. The rotating ring 26 rotates, thereby driving the sliding plate 27 to rotate with the cooperation of the spring 28. When the sliding plate 27 contacts the sensing rod 291, the sliding plate 27 no longer rotates, while the rotating ring 26 continues to rotate. At this time, the spring 28 is compressed, and the rotating ring 26 and the sliding plate 27 slide against each other. When the cigarette pack passes through, the mechanism is reset under the action of the restoring force of the spring 28 and the gravity of the trigger plate 24. At this time, the counting controller 29 counts once. Through the cooperation of the sliding plate 27, the rotating ring 26, and the spring 28, the sliding plate 27 can be elastically contacted with the sensing rod 291, thereby greatly improving the adaptability of the mechanism, and then the cigarette packs of different heights can be counted. The mechanism has a simple structure and does not require a motor drive, thereby greatly reducing the production and use costs.

[0020] Specifically, a flap 292 is hingedly connected to the upper end of the working shell 21 , and a handle 293 is fixedly connected to one end of the flap 292 . A layer of anti-slip texture is provided on the surface of the handle 293 .

[0021] In this embodiment, when the user needs to inspect the interior of the working shell 21 , the user can open the working shell 21 by flipping the flip cover 292 through the handle 293 , thereby facilitating the user to inspect the interior of the working shell 21 .

[0022] Specifically, the flip cover 292 is slidably connected to a latch 294 that passes through the flip cover 292 through a through hole formed on the surface of the flip cover 292 , and the latch 294 is disposed correspondingly to the sliding plate 27 .

[0023] In this embodiment, when this mechanism is not working, the user inserts the latch 294 into the flip cover 292 through the through hole, so that the lower end of the latch 294 reaches the inside of the working shell 21. Since the latch 294 acts as an obstacle, the sliding plate 27 will not contact the sensing rod 291, thereby preventing false alarms.

[0024] Specifically, a heat dissipation net 295 is installed on the surface of the working shell 21 .

[0025] In this embodiment, by installing a heat dissipation net 295 on the surface of the working shell 21 , the counter controller 29 can be easily dissipated to thereby increase the service life of the counter controller 29 .

[0026] Specifically, a limiting rod 296 is fixedly connected to the interior of the working shell 21 , a layer of rubber pad is provided on the surface of the limiting rod 296 , and the limiting rod 296 is provided corresponding to the connecting block 25 .

[0027] In this embodiment, when the mechanism is reset, the limit rod 296 is provided to prevent the connection block 25 from over-rotating, so that the trigger plate 24 just maintains a plumb state, thereby avoiding the problem of the trigger plate 24 swinging back and forth due to inertia, thereby affecting the stability of the mechanism during operation.

[0028] Working principle and use process: when the cigarette pack contacts the trigger plate 24, the trigger plate 24 rotates, thereby driving the rotating rod 22 to rotate through the connecting plate 23, and the rotating rod 22 rotates, thereby driving the rotating ring 26 to rotate through the connecting block 25, and the rotating ring 26 rotates, thereby driving the sliding plate 27 to rotate with the cooperation of the spring 28. When the sliding plate 27 contacts the sensing rod 291, the sliding plate 27 no longer rotates, while the rotating ring 26 continues to rotate. At this time, the spring 28 is compressed, and the rotating ring 26 and the sliding plate 27 slide against each other. When the cigarette pack passes, the mechanism is reset under the action of the restoring force of the spring 28 and the gravity of the trigger plate 24. At this time, the counting controller 29 counts once, and the sliding plate 27 and the sensing rod 291 can be elastically contacted by the cooperation of the sliding plate 27, the rotating ring 26 and the spring 28, thereby greatly improving the adaptability of the mechanism, and then To count cigarette packs at different heights, this mechanism has a simple structure and does not require a motor drive, thereby greatly reducing the production and use costs. When the user needs to inspect the interior of the working shell 21, the working shell 21 can be opened by flipping the flip cover 292 through the handle 293, thereby facilitating the user to inspect the interior of the working shell 21. When this mechanism is not working, the user inserts the latch 294 into the flip cover 292 through the through hole, so that the lower end of the latch 294 reaches the interior of the working shell 21. Since the latch 294 acts as an obstacle, the sliding plate 27 will not contact the sensing rod 291, thereby preventing false alarms. When the mechanism is reset, the limit rod 296 can be set to prevent the connecting block 25 from being over-rotated, so that the trigger plate 24 just maintains a plumb state, thereby avoiding the problem of the trigger plate 24 swinging back and forth under the action of inertia, thereby affecting the stability of the mechanism when it is working.

[0029] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, but not to limit it.
