[0027] The carrier tape is mainly used in the electronic component mounting process and is used for packaging electronic components. It is a tape-shaped product with holes for placing electronic components and positioning holes for indexing and positioning distributed at equal distances along its length. In the prior art, a carrier tape counter is used to count the number of electronic components in the carrier tape. However, the carrier tape counter in the prior art is relatively large and difficult to move, which limits the use of the carrier tape counter.

[0028] The embodiment of the present application provides a handheld carrier counter 100, including a shell 110. A counting channel 111 is provided at one end of the shell 110 along a first direction. The counting channel 111 is used for the carrier 200 to pass through. A detection component 120 is arranged in the corresponding counting channel 111 on the shell 110. The detection component 120 is used to detect a counting signal on the carrier 200 when the carrier 200 passes through the counting channel 111. The other end of the shell 110 along the first direction is a handheld part, and a counting component 130 is arranged in the shell 110. The counting component 130 counts the number of electronic components on the carrier 200 according to the detection signal of the detection component 120.

[0029] The handheld carrier counter 100 of the embodiment of the present application is used to count the number of electronic components in the carrier 200. Specifically, the handheld carrier counter 100 includes a counting channel 111 formed in the housing 110. The detection component 120 is arranged in the counting channel 111. When the carrier 200 passes through the counting channel 111, the detection component 120 detects the counting signal on the carrier 200 to generate a detection signal. The counting component 130 is connected to the detection component 120 signal. The counting component 130 counts the number of counting signals on the carrier 200 according to the detection signal, wherein the counting signal on the carrier 200 has a corresponding correspondence with the number of electronic components. For example, holes for holding electronic components and positioning holes for index positioning are evenly distributed on the carrier 200, wherein the positioning holes are detected by the detection component 120 as counting signals.

[0030] The handheld carrier counter 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes the counting of the number of electronic components on the carrier 200 by setting a counting channel 111 and a counting component 130 in the housing 110, and the handheld carrier counter 100 is small in size and easy to move, and can be applied to the counting of fewer electronic components. Among them, the other end along the first direction can be used as a handheld part, and when carrying the handheld carrier counter 100, the handheld carrier counter 100 can be carried to the position of the carrier 200 that needs to be counted by holding the handheld part.

[0031] In practical applications, an electric component can be provided at the exit of the counting channel 111 , the electric component is connected to the carrier belt 200 , the carrier belt 200 moves under the drive of the electric component, and the electric component is manually controlled to realize the control of the movement of the carrier belt 200 .

[0032] The handheld carrier counter 100 provided by the present application includes a housing 110, a counting channel 111 is provided at one end of the housing 110 along a first direction, the counting channel 111 is used for the carrier 200 to pass through, a detection component 120 is arranged in the housing 110 corresponding to the counting channel 111, the detection component 120 is used to detect the counting signal on the carrier 200 when the carrier 200 passes through the counting channel 111, when the carrier 200 passes through the counting channel 111, the detection component 120 detects the counting signal on the carrier 200 to generate a detection signal, along the first direction, a counting component 130 is arranged inside the other end of the housing 110, the counting component 130 is connected to the detection component 120 by signal, and the counting component 130 counts the number of electronic components on the carrier 200 according to the detection signal of the detection component 120, so as to realize the counting of the number of electronic components on the carrier 200. The handheld carrier counter 100 of the embodiment of the present application is small in size, easy to move, and can be used for counting fewer electronic components.

[0033] Optionally, the detection component 120 includes a first detector 121 and a second detector 122 disposed along the moving direction of the carrier tape 200 , and the moving direction of the carrier tape 200 is acquired according to detection signals of the first detector 121 and the second detector 122 .

[0034] The carrier 200 usually has a long length. When the detection reaches the middle part and the counting is paused, it is not easy to determine the movement direction of the carrier 200 when it needs to be counted again. In order to obtain the movement direction of the carrier 200, the embodiment of the present application sets the detection component 120 to be a first detector 121 and a second detector 122, wherein when the first detector 121 and the second detector 122 are transmitted along the movement direction of the carrier 200, the number of counting signals detected by the first detector 121 is greater than the number of counting signals detected by the second detector 122, and the statistical component 130 can obtain the movement direction of the carrier 200 based on the comparison result of the counting signals detected by the first detector 121 and the second detector 122.

[0035] By providing the first detector 121 and the second detector 122 , the moving direction of the carrier tape 200 can be quickly determined.

[0036] In one achievable method of the embodiment of the present application, the first detector 121 and the second detector 122 both include a transmitting end 123 and a receiving end 124 disposed on both sides of the counting channel 111, and counting holes are provided on the carrier tape 200 corresponding to the electronic components as counting signals.

[0037] As can be seen from the above, the positioning holes are detected as counting signals by the detection component 120. In order to detect the number of positioning holes, the embodiment of the present application sets the first detector 121 and the second detector 122 to a structure of a transmitting end 123 and a receiving end 124. The transmitting end 123 transmits a signal toward the receiving end 124. During the movement of the carrier 200, when it moves to the positioning hole, the transmission signal emitted by the transmitting end 123 is received by the receiving end 124, thereby triggering a detection signal; when it moves to a non-positioning hole, the transmission signal emitted by the transmitting end 123 is blocked by the carrier 200 and cannot be received by the receiving end 124, and no detection signal is generated. The statistical component 130 obtains the number of positioning holes according to the detection signal. The number of positioning holes is the same as the number of electronic components, thereby obtaining the number of electronic components.

[0038] By setting the first detector 121 and the second detector 122 as the transmitting end 123 and the receiving end 124, in coordination with the positioning hole, the detection signal can be conveniently and accurately acquired.

[0039] Optionally, the transmitting end 123 is an infrared transmitter and the receiving end 124 is an infrared receiver.

[0040] The infrared transmitter transmits an infrared signal. The infrared signal has a longer wavelength and is easily detected by the receiving end 124, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection.

[0041] In one possible implementation of the embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a notch is formed on the housing 110 , and the handheld carrier counter 100 further includes a movable member 140 detachably disposed in the notch, and the counting channel 111 is formed in the movable member 140 .

[0042] In order to adapt to carriers 200 of different specifications, the embodiment of the present application sets the counting channel 111 in the movable part 140, and the movable part 140 is set on the shell 110 through a notch and is detachably connected to the shell 110. In this way, a plurality of movable parts 140 can be equipped corresponding to a handheld carrier counter 100, and the plurality of movable parts 140 are detachably connected to the shell 110. Among them, each movable part 140 has a counting channel 111 of different sizes. During the use of the handheld carrier counter 100, the operator can select a suitable movable part 140 according to the specific structure of the carrier 200, so that the handheld carrier counter 100 can be applied to the counting statistics of carriers 200 of various specifications, thereby improving the applicability of the handheld carrier counter 100.

[0043] Optional, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a through hole 141 is disposed on the movable member 140 corresponding to the detection component 120 . The detection component 120 is disposed on the housing 110 and acts on the carrier tape 200 through the through hole 141 .

[0044] As can be seen from the above, the transmission signal emitted by the transmitting end 123 is received by the receiving end 124, triggering the detection signal. In order to avoid affecting the position of the detection component 120 when replacing the movable part 140, the embodiment of the present application sets the detection component 120 on the shell, and sets a through hole 141 on the movable part 140. The transmission signal emitted by the transmitting end 123 passes through the through hole 141 to irradiate the carrier 200 or passes through the positioning hole to be received by the receiving end 124.

[0045] A through hole 141 is provided on the movable member 140 corresponding to the detection assembly 120 , so as to avoid affecting the position of the detection assembly 120 when the movable member 140 is replaced.

[0046] In one achievable manner of the embodiment of the present application, a connection hole is provided on the outer wall of the notch, and the connection member 151 passes through the connection hole to be connected to the movable member 140 , thereby fixing the movable member 140 .

[0047] In order to enable the movable member 140 to be stably connected to the housing 110, a connection hole is provided on the outer wall of the notch in the embodiment of the present application, and the connecting member 151 passes through the connection hole to connect with the movable member 140, so as to stably connect the movable member 140 to the housing 110. Specifically, the connecting member 151 can be fixedly connected to the movable member 140, or can be abutted. Specifically, when the end of the connecting member 151 is threaded, the connecting member 151 can be threadedly connected to the movable member 140, or the connecting member 151 can abut against the top surface of the movable member 140.

[0048] Optional, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting member 151 is a butterfly screw. When the movable member 140 needs to be replaced, the butterfly handle of the butterfly screw is held and the butterfly screw is turned to connect and disconnect the connecting member 151. The butterfly handle of the butterfly screw allows the operator to turn the butterfly screw barehanded without the need for additional tools, thereby improving the convenience of connecting the connecting member 151. In addition, the butterfly screw has a larger contact area with the operator and a larger torque, which can save the operator's strength.

The circuit component 131 is connected to the detection component 120 and the display component 132 respectively. The circuit component 131 controls the display component 132 to display according to the detection signal of the detection component 120 .

[0051] Those skilled in the art should know that the circuit component 131 and the display component 132 are both electronic products, which require power supply during use. In order to facilitate the application of the handheld carrier counter 100, the embodiment of the present application is provided with a battery 133 in the housing of the handheld part. Figure 1 As shown, the circuit component 131 and the display component 132 are located above the battery 133 and are respectively connected to the battery 133 to provide power for the display component 132 and the circuit component 131.

[0052] It can be understood that the display component 132 is used to display the statistical results of the statistical component 130, so that the operator can quickly obtain the number of electronic components. Therefore, it is necessary to expose the display surface of the display component 132, such as Figure 2 As shown, the housing 110 of the handheld part is provided with a mounting hole, the display assembly 132 is embedded in the mounting hole, and the display surface of the display assembly 132 is exposed through the mounting hole.
