Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of production of steel ball counting equipment, and more specifically, to a control mechanism for steel ball counting flow. Background Art

[0002] During the use of the steel ball counting equipment, a visual camera method is adopted. When the steel ball flow is too large, the visual recognition speed cannot keep up, resulting in inaccurate counting. The current method of manually adjusting the gate size is used for control. However, when manually adjusting the gate, only the gate size can be controlled to control the flow, and the gate size needs to be adjusted continuously, which increases the frequency of personnel operation and inaccurate control. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, an embodiment of the utility model provides a steel ball counting flow control mechanism.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a control mechanism for counting flow of steel balls, whose structure includes a material guide plate, and its innovation lies in: two parallel side plates are provided on the material guide plate, a material guide area is formed between the two side plates, a rotatable material guide roller is provided above the material guide area, a flow area for steel balls is maintained between the material guide roller and the material guide plate, bristles are evenly distributed on the material guide roller, the bristles extend inside the flow area, and a driving member for driving the material guide roller to rotate is provided on the outer side of the side plate.

[0005] Furthermore, support plates perpendicular to the material guide plate are respectively provided on both sides of the side plate, both ends of the material guide roller are respectively rotatably connected to the support plates, and the driving member is arranged on one of the support plates.

[0006] Furthermore, the driving member is a rotary motor, a reducer is provided at the output end of the rotary motor, and the output end of the reducer is connected to the end of one of the guide rollers.

[0007] Furthermore, the support plate is provided with an avoidance groove, and the material guide roller is stuck inside the avoidance groove.

[0008] The technical effects and advantages of the utility model are as follows: when the steel balls flow on the material guide area, the driving part controls the material guide rod to open, and when the material guide rod rotates, the flowing steel balls can be quickly brushed into the flow area to increase the flow speed of the steel balls. When the driving part controls the material guide rod to close, the steel balls are blocked by the bristles from entering the flow area, and the steel balls stop flowing forward. The entire process is achieved by controlling the rotation or closing of the material guide rod, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically controlling the flow rate of the steel balls.
